ate hopes of an effective come

c. tho series as well, for it was the
fourth consecutive triumph of tho ,
world'8 champions, who qualify there- I
j,v for tho long end of the spring tour's
honors, as only three games remain to
he played.
The story is one of a St. Bartholo?
mew for Ferdinand Stubblefleld Schupp j
crowded into one whizzing, whizzling, |
whacking oinning. Most everything but ?
the grandstand fell about Schtrpp's
ear? in that rarebit dream of a first,
v-hupp was wild ns one of the goata of
Voocan's Bluff, and couldn't got one
over the piare with anything on it
Ferdie Wild After First
The result of nve hits and two bases
en balls gave Boston five runs' advan?
tage at the start and piled up insur?
mountable obstacles tor New York.
Vter the opener Schupp was still wild,
but moro effective. Boston got no
more hits, but Ferdio handed out four
passes in the three innings and was
fcaved on several occasions by high'
Ilass support.
' flerb Pennock meanwhile had the
priants eating out of his hand. They
pot five hits in as many innings, but
never seriously threatened, though
three of tho blows opened innings.
Benton, like Schupp, was inclined to
?wiidness. Ho was at his best in the
pinches. Earl Smith caught a beauti?
ful game for New York, preventing a
?ingle steal and stopping four would
ie purloiners.
Looked as if Mayor Tyson might
?iave to call out the fire department in
that first inning when tho world's
champions threw clouds of gloom into
the face of Ferdie Schupp's attempted
come-back. Schupp got himself into
trouble by passing Harry Hooper, the
first batti r, .ally scratched a hit
on a weak splasher toward third.
Strunk sacril y and Ruth final?
ly drew ,'?- y.. 3, filling tho bases. Mc
, scoring Hooper
and McNally. Vitt's easy hopper
bound; ver Fletcher and Doyle
for a E gle that scored Ruth. Scott
fouled high to Karl Smith.
Wall ver, filled the bases
again with a clean wallop to left and
dri ??'? home Mclnnis and Vitt
with a one-timer to centre which Kauf?
? : rily. Hooper, up for
the second time, rolled lazily to Schupp,
retiring the side.
That old stonewall defence of the
de-tracked (liant presump?
tion in tho second half. Burns burned
one through Vitt and Young outguessed
Pennock for a pass, but Chase was a
Il out victim, while Scott Bnared
KaurT's stinging grounder and started
a double play.
Great Play by Chase
One of Hal Chase's copyrighted play?
pulled Schupp out of troublo in the
second. Ferdie handed tho weak hit?
ting McNally a pass to start tho round
fitrunk sacrificed. Doyle threw oui
jRuth and Chase snapped the ball U
timmerman, catching McNally flat
footed off tr*rd after ho had rounded
i'.r bag
Barrow evidently figured his lead f
?afe one at this stage, for he blew
Ruth and Hooper to a vacation for tht
r.st of the afternoon, Gainer goini
to left and Gilhooley to right field
Doyle, first up for Now York, singlet
but was out stealing. It looked verj
much as if I Larry attempte<

From then on neither side got t

Golf Gossip
J. D. Edgar, who won tho last open
French championship, played in 3 914,
leading Harry Vnrdon by six strokes,
who finished second, with Taylor Ray,
Duncan and all tho cracks trailing be?
hind, arrived from the other sido on
Monday, and, without getting a chance
to shake off his sea legs, ho played in
a spirited four-ball match yesterday at
the Fox Hills Golf Club. Edgar had W.
H. Follette, of the Fox Hills Golf Club,
as a partner against Tom McNamara
and John G. Anderson, a combination
strong enough to confront any pair in
tho country.
The match was not started until R
o'clock in the evening, as "Pipe" Fol?
lette, and Douglas Edgar did not arrive
until Anderson and McNamara were
about to drive off from the first tee in a
threesome with Tom Boyd, the Vox
Hills professional. .So the tardy mem?
bers of the party, who bad been given
up as lost, joined the threesome, and
they played over tho courso in a five
somc.
Edgar, who leaves this city to-day for
Atlanta, whero he has been engaged as
the professional of the Druid Hills Golf
Club, left a very-favorable impression
on tho gallery which followed the
match.
Ho is a long driver and a very accu?
rate approaches Ho plays all his shots
as straight as nn arrow, and is always
straight down the centre of the course
and always on a line for tho pin. As
sunn as he gets a little moro familiar
with the American turf he is bound to
give a good accounting of himself.
Anderson and McNamara won the
! match by 3 up and 2 to play, with a
best ball of 73 to 77. Tom Boyd, who
went out in 35 and back in 3S>, had the
best Bcore of the round of 74, The
other individual scores were: Anderson,
38, 39?77; Edgar, 40, 38?73; Mc?
Namara, 42, 88?80, and Follette, 41,40
?81.

The Golfer's Return From the Front
From shell holes left in France
Ho finds a rougher drca/m,
Where yawning bunkers irait his slice
And where the niblicks gleam. \
And as he hooka one out of b07ivds
You hear the Duffer curse -
"Ah, yes, I know that war is hell?
But peace is even worse."
i
From dugouts that were deep
Where German shrapnel lit,
lie takes his trusty niblick out
And finds a deeper pit.
And as he. blows an ear.ji putt
You hear him sob and curse
"The- Argonne Teat! was rough enough?
But this here green is worse."
There may bo ficklcr or moro fickle jaden than Memory, but, wo
can't recall one. of Ile m just now. Banking upon tho warped drift of
our memory we issued tho Btatcmcnl thai liai Chase, ai thirty-six, was
the oldest regular left in baseball. Whereupon wo stumbled upon 1'ode
Paskert, aged thirty-eight, and Gavvy Cravath, aged thirty-seven.
Things sometimes happen so.
Our recollections of Chase, recalling tho date and circumstances
surrounding his arrival with Clark Griffith's Yankees in 1004, antedated
our Paskerterian recollections by a year or two. Where fore wo took it
for granted that Chaso must be older. What eminent, philosopher was
it who said: "Take nothing for granted and you'll never get took"?
Pitching Values
One of the best ways <o judge pennant chances is to pick out the
best pitching staff and follow that route to an October guess,
You won't always be right, but you won't miss often, and you'll
never be far wrong.
In the National League, when one takes a brief slant at tho names
of Alexander, Vaughn, Hendrix, Tyler and Douglass, among others, he
doesn't waste much time delving deeper into the dope. '
He knows that he can't be far wrong in awarding the Cubs first
choice in the big spring guess. This staff is the best in the National
League. It means good pitching almost every start, and good pitching
doesn't often loso over the long route.
If Ferdy Schupp recovers his ancient cunning the Giant staff, with
Schupp, Benton, Perritt, Barnes and others, won't be very far behind.
But the margin will be sufficiently in Chicago's favor to give Cook
County the call above Manhattan's crowded jsle.
In the Same Way?
In the same way a short glance in the direction of the American
League finds Boston's champion Bed Sox starting out with Babe Ruth'
Bush, May:!, Jones and Slim Caldwell.
This quintet have a fast infield and a strong outfield to back them up.
But the main point is that Boston can hank, on the average, on
high grade pitching?on better pitching than ?my rival outfit so far as one
can sec against April's dim horizon.
Cleveland and New York both have strong staffs, but neither carries
the certainty offered by the right and left arms attached to I'm- Bostonian
payroll. One great pitcher such as Ruth is a tremendous asset.
And one star in the box means a big jump. Who can forget what
Mathcwson gave the. Giants or what, Alexander did for the Phillies?
The Subtler Meaning
Fine pitching means something more than strength in one depart?
ment. It means also that the offence doesn't have to go out and get as
many runs. It means also that the line of fielding defence isn't sub?
jected to as rough a pounding. It means also that the morale of a club
is always lifted.
A club goes into a ball game with far better heart when it knows
that it has good pitching to bank on.
Who can forget bow much better ball the old Giants played for
Math.wson than other? who lacked their confidence?
Poor pitching requires extra brilliance in the fielding line to pre?
vent the defence from cracking.
But with n Strong, dependable pitcher working in tho box, neither
tho offence nor tho defence is subjected to any unusual strain. They
can both pike along nt a steady, even, unharassed stride, and generally
get there. ,
1,800 Ball Players
On Reserve Lists,
Testifies Heydler
WASHINGTON, April 8.-?Testimony
by John A. Heydler, president of the
National League, to-day concluded the
evidence of Organized Haseball in de?
fence of the suit for $900,000 damages
brought by tho Baltimore Federal Club
under the Sherman anti-truat law.
Brief rebuttal evidence for tho plain?
tiff was expected to close tho ease, and
attorneys for the defendants then
planned to present a motion for an in?
structed verdict of dismissal. Tho mo?
tion was expected to contend that the
Sherman law was not intended by Con
gress to apply to baseball and that the
sport is not interstate commerce with?
in the meaning of the act.
President Ileydler's testimony dealt
principally with tho clubs' practice of
holding players on "reserve" lists. The
number of players now held, ho said,
is about 1,800, of which tho minor
leagues have 1,300, and is 2,000 less
than in 1913.
On cross-examination Mr. Heydler
conceded that, largely as a result of
Federal League competition, baseball
conditions in 191-1 were such that dis?
aster was imminent, and that, there?
fore, it was deemed necessary to re?
move the causes.
Testimony previously givon by for?
mer President Gilmore of tho Federal
League, President Johnson of the
American League and others that
President Pasin of the Baltimore Fed?
erals was present when the baseball
"peace pact." was concluded was cor?
roborated by M v. Heydler.

Yale Nine Opens
Its Season To-dav
With Y.M.C.A.
NEW HAVEN, Conn.. April 8.?Sev?
eral eleventh hour changes were made
to-day by Coach Bill Lauder of the
Yale nine in preparation for tho open?
ing gamo of the season with the
Springfield Y. M. C. A. College here to?
morrow.
Captain Russell Boyd was switched
from centro field to third base, Lang
Parsons, freshman captain last year,
was sent to left field, and Bob Holden
wont from left field to centre. Zach
Gordon was assigned to right field, dis
j placing Jeff Sanderson, and Frank
j Lynch, who has been used in the o.t
j field, was sent to first base. Hickcy,
? the former freshman shortstop, was as
| signed to the same post on the var?
sity, in place of Thorne Murphy, who
j has been there all the ?spring. Tom
t Sbeehan, who has just returned to col
! lege, was given backstop. Frederick,
freshman catcher last year, has been
' behind the bat in his absence. Tom
? Sawyer, second baseman last year, will
be again at that station.
It was announced that Frank Coxe,
the burly freshman left-hand boxman
of last season, would probably start
I the gamn as pitcher, 1hat probably
Dean Kobinson, also of last year'..
freshman team, would relieve him for
part of the game, and that Selleck, an?
other former freshman, might be used
in part of the game.
'1 he most probable line-up for tho
game is as follows:
Pitcher, Coxe; catcher, Rheehan;
first base, Lynch; second base, Saw?
yer; shortstop, Hickcy; third base,
Captain Boyd; left field, Parsons;
centre field, Holden; right field, Gor?

Lewis's Shooting
(Captures Title at
Manhasset Traps
PORT WASHINGTON, L. I.. April 8.
Shooting in almost muc.hine-like pre?
cision, Tracy II. Lewis broke 98 out of
100 clay birds in the annual Long
Island Sound championship tournament
nt tho traps of the Manhasset Bay
Yacht Club here to-day, and won the
principal event, the championship. De?
spite the fact that he missed only two
of tho artificial birds out of 100, Mr.
Lewis failed lo win the trophy for the
the longest run of the day. '1 he honor
in that respect fell to Dr. George H.
Martin, of tho New York Athletic Club.
who broko 92 straight, f-.he last 92 at
which ho aimed, and the physician was
going so strong at the close that Ralph
L. Spotts, a former American champion,
who was one of the contestants, re?
marked that he would be shooting yet if
the conditions did not place 100 clay
birds as a maximum.
In his first and last strings Lewis
missed once in each. Dr. Martin
chalked up a 22 in his first, hut there?
after every one of the other throe
showed perfect scores. The latter, with
I 97, just one below Lewis, won the sec
j otid scratch prize, and John 11. Hen?
drickson was third with 96.
After the process of elimination in
the handicap -was carried out J. B.
Hampton won the first prize, G. S. Mc
Cutcheon the second and F. J. Ham the
third.
Sallee Goes to Hospital
CINCINNATI, April 8. ? Pitcher
Harry '"Slim") Sallee, of the Cincin?
nati Nationals, was to-day ordered to
a hospital by Dr. H. II- Hinea, the Cin?
cinnati club's physician, where he will
undergo the "hot air cylinder" treat?
ment for a strained muscle on the
right side of tho spine. Sallee was
compelled to leave tne Reds' training
camp several days ago because of a re?
currence of trouble with his back
which interfered with his effectiveness,
while with tho New York Nationals
last season.
In the Training Camp
With
?GRAJSTLAND RICE?
GAINESVILLE, F!a? April 8.?If the |
Florida fan is any criterion, baseball is j
swinging''back to ono of its greatest
years. Tho Giants and Red Sox, in j
their first threo games fit Tampa and j
Gainesville, played to something over
11,000 souls. Gainesville alone, with a
population of 10,000, turned out 2,500
Monday. In this samo startling pro?
portion New York City would turn out
1,7,%),onO on opening day. One hundrod
and thirty-four automobiles chugged
through the gate and surrounded the i
Hold in a gleaming cordon. This gave '
Babe Ruth an expensive target to snoot
at, but the Babe ??till prefers the old
fashioned fence.
Both Giants and Red So:, will now
dwell on the palatial rattler for the '?
next live nights. It's a great life. You '
get switched otT into some railroad yard i
and try to sleep while the engine is j
practising quick starts from 10 p, m. to i
ti a. m. Ever and anon the resounding |
snore of the weary athlete mingles !
with the grinding creak of the train.
But what of it. Life isn't always a
roadbed of roses by a number of kilo
j meters.
The great Zim is toiling desperately
to remove tho annoying kink from his
main salary-producing arm. In all
other respects tho noted baseman is
shedding pink in all directions. He is
lean and brown, with the light of bat?
tle in his eye. A few more days of
steamy sunlight should take good care
of tho annoying elbow.
"You've got a great defensive club,"
we suggested deftly to .Tack Barry.
"Yes," said Jack, "we. picked up tho
habit so long ago we can't quit. It will
take quite an attack to ever break
througTi this machine."
John J. McGraw holds the same opin?
ion. "This Red Sox line-up," he re?
marked, "is one of the bes* defensive

Cluett,Peabody&CaInc.TroyNX
machines I ever saw. They are in front '
of everything you hit. They make you
earn every run you get, which is one
o? the best tests of any club'..
strength. "
The athletes will miss the peaceful
quiel of Gainesville, dreamy twilights
and tho moss bedecked branches that
almost Interlock along the streets.
They deem it much bliss to sit out
upon the veranda looking down the
long, shady streets, while, the victrolas
softly exude "Till We Meet Again.''
Quite a difference between that '
ence than pounding along on the old
rattler, where the engineer has a hop
on his fast one at every other stop.
Babe. Ruth has a mighty wallop, b?it
the sharp breaking curves of a left
bander tie his full, free swing into
knots, The Bube has no love for a
southpaw, although he earns the bulk
of his living from a portside range.
He can murder a right-hander, but. the
side-wheeler keens him in the phantom
swing to a finish.
Burns, Kauff and Young complete
the best outfield McGraw ever had. All
three, can paddle around .301 or better.
All three are fast and sure, fleet of foot
in the outfield as well as around the
tow paths. They should be the best
outfield combination in the game bar?
ring not even the hard hitting delega?
tions of Cleveland and Detriot, headed
respectively by Speaker and Cobb. For
the Giant balance is better and balance
is a vital factor still.
McGraw has o;.e worry left. This
involves his pitchers. If he can evolve
four well-conditioned workmen from
Barnes, Benton, Schupp, Causey, Win?
ters and possibly Toney, he will have
a ball club that only rare excellence
can beat. To date his team is far from
top condition. Most of hiB entries
have passed that young April of life
I where an athlete can regain form in
| two weeks. The veteran needs a
longer drive. But by another two
weeks his clan should be properly
tuned up ready for the melee.
Schupp has been sadly harassed by
rheumatism for tho last year, but the
wiry southpaw has absorbed a change
in diet and the effect has been pro?
nounced. He has lo.st weight and to?
day isn't much thicker than a drink of
water, but the old pains and aches have
disappeared. His control isn't as good
as it used to be, but he still carries
that baffling hook which McGraw in
1 sists is the best breaking curve be has
i ever seen a left-hander show in over
twenty-five years. And in this sum
i niary McGraw bars neither Rube Wa?
| del 1 nor Eddie Plank.
There Is no alligator or ostrich farm
across the street here from the park,
and wo miss tho cheerful thought that
if the ball game lags we can awing over
and get a thrill from watchihg a
school of alligators dreaming ii'i the
sun. There's nothing like competition
after all.
Benny Kauff is advancing no set
argument upon the subject. Dut ho be?
lieves this will bo his year to lead
the league He hasn't reached hi? top
stride yet, but this may be in his favor,
as the ?our hundred hitter of the ex

Yank* celebrated tho a-dvent of Colo
nel Jacob Ruppert by trimming I
Brooklyn Lallapaloosi to 4 l(
gives the American League ti am a lend
of one game in the citrus series.
Vp to that point Colonel Kuppert
was critical of the ball club and of the
climate hereabout. As the bat cracked
and the ball rolled to a distant corner
of left field, bringing home three
Yanks, the colonel remarked: "This is
a good training camp. It's lovely
weather we are having." Vp to that
point the Lallapalooaas were leading
by a acore of 4 to \i.
The cheering part of it was that
reliable Roger's smash was made at
the expense of Mother Grimes, who is
conceded to be one of T'nclo Robbie's
most efficient pitchers. Tho events
started when Pins Bodie was given a
base on balls. Ward started to sacri?
fice him, but Crime?, in an attempt to
nail Ping, pulled Olson off the bag.
Hannah, who is an essential walloper,
tried to sacrifice, and popped to Olsen.
Shawkey was safe when Olson nailed
his drive in such a position that, he
could not hurl to first.
At th..s juncture Samuel Vick, one
of the coming generation or Yanks,
came to bat and*tried to cut himself
a hunk of baseball history? The best
that he did was to lob .mo down to
first, and Ping Bodie, overwi ighted by
a lavish lunch, was, nailed at tho plate.
It was at this opportune moment
that Old Reliable Roger delivered the
blow that was felt in Flatbush, It was
Roger's second long smash for the
afternoon. As early as the first inning
Roger connected for a two bagger, but
was nailed trying to extend it. to a
triple. I'ipp, who is finding his season's
butting eye, even this early, drove
Peckinpaugh home with a smash to
centre.
Home Run by I'ipp
In the fit^t inning Wnllie drove a
home run into left field. It was one
of those legitimate home runs, too, for
in the South Side ball park the fences
are at le st a day's mavch from tho
home plate, Pipp's drive trundled
through the sandy outfeld till it
bounced off the barriers. It was note'!
with considerable delight by Colonel
Ruppert and by Lieutenant Colonel
Huston that the home run made by
I'ipp was to left field.
The colonels resent the insinuation
that Pipp is only a right-field hitter
Walter has been drilling to drive them
to nil point B of 1 '? '? . and he
seems to be getting into the frame of
mind where he cai

The Lallapaloosas fell upon APan

In the second inning the Yankees
proceeded to treat hu: Jeff Pfeffer a
bit roughly. Lewis, singled and Ward
doubled. Russell drovi to cen

He had to do a lot of oute de eating
in order to get hin -??'r' into i nape.
When he came from the field after that
error his head was hanging low. It
seemed that he w:ic doomed to eat only
f- ,m the bill of fare. In the eighth
inning Ping came suddenly to his own.
From tho direction of the shipyards
across the river came the tooting of
steam whistles. They wer- launching
a new addition to the American mer?

brightened. He pasted one right on

The passage of the optional Sunday
baseball bill will bring about a change
of schedule for the three New York
teams. Whon the bill is signed and
baseball Is permitted by the Board of
Aldermen at the Polo Grounds and Eb?
bet? Field on Sundays the schedule
will be shoved ahead so that Monday
will be the holiday for the tired base?
ball players.
Tho Sunday baseball act j? a lifr
saver to the hrooklyn Club, which has
had many tough year?. No ''
| time has*been set for the first Sunday
; baseball game at the Polo Grounds,
i and nothing will be done in thia re?
gard until the bill becomes a law and
until the Board of Aldermen takes offi?
ciai action. Little trouble is expected
in this regard, as Governor Smith al
wavs has favored Sunday baseball. The
Aldermen have aided the campaign for
Sunday ball.
Cnloncl Ruppert, half owner of the
Yankees, said to-day: "I am anxious to
I ?ee the firs^ Sunday crowd. I am cer
j tain that the opening Sunday will bring
! out people who have never been able
to seo baseball in the big leagues be?
fore."
W ilson FewsTer, the Baltimore hoy,
who whs to have played third to-day,
was called home by the critical illnes.:'
of his mother.
