Loftus Pilots Outsider

Naturalist Is Unplaced
Widener Gelding Carries Off Belmont Inaugural
Feature at Odds of 7 to 1; Flags Second in
Mile Classic; Favorite Beaten Off in Drive
.____._.
By W. J. Macbeth
The twenty-seventh renewal of the historic Metropolitan Handicap,
which featured the inaugural of the annual spring meeting of the West
chester Racing Association at pretty Belmont Fark yesterday afternoon,
was won by G. D. Widener's Lanius, one of the outsiders in a field of
seven. Johnny Loftus, America's premier jockey, who has a penchant
for riding winners in important stake engagements, shared whatever
glory attached to the victory in this classic by Mr. Widener's four-year
old chestnut celdinc. the imnorted son of Llantr.bhv and Sonthprn Rpllr?.
The Metropolitan Handicap is rich
in tradition. Its very name conjures
up gay multitudes of happy worship?
pers at the shrine of pleasure; with
! all the bright colors incident to styl
. i*hly gowned women and their prop
? erly dressed escorts?a mingling of i
pleasure-mad throng, lashed up to ?
! frenzy of- fervor and excitement as
? the well balanced field of leading thor
oughbreds sweeps through the fina
! sixteenth to a souI*stirring finish.
Yesterday the color was faded inte
? dull drab. Lanius won a Metr?poli
tan Handicap. That said?finis.
The crowd was there. The thor
oughbred following always may bi
counted upon to prove its loyalty t>
the game on all gala occasions. Be
tween twelve and fifteen thousand wer
out?a wonderful tribute to the spor
of kings when one considers weathe
conditions. No racing classe in th
history of the American turf ever wa
served a meaner turn by the weathe
man. All conditions were execrable
Woeful Lack of Color
But there was as painful lack o
color among this big crowd as on th
rainswept lawns, the drenched stand
and the clubhouse verandas. Th
very great majority of the patron
were of the male gender, and a rair
coat hides the gay raiment of a mult
millionaire as readily as it camot
flages the threadbare pantaloons of
lad who is doing his best.
There was little during the runnin
of the Metropolitan or before or aftc
to make one enthuse. The track itse
was enough to give one the horrors

simply handed a knockout to this year
Metropolitan.
The mud-splashed Lanius and tl
begrimed Loftus elicited scarcely
passing cheer at the conclusion of
race which, with a blue sky and smi
lng sun, no doubt would have sent tl
.multitudes into ecstacies of enthuf
asm. More enthusiastic receptio
have been tendered apprentices wl
spread-eagled plate fields. It wasi
the fault of the crowd. It wasn't t
fault of the management. It was t
fault of the weather?first, last and ,

After Fallen Heroes
1VTEW HAVEN, May 22.?Interna
?*? tional contests in track games
and rowing between Oxford, Cam?
bridge and Harvard and Yale next
year were approved to-day by the
undergraduate committee of the
Vale Athletic Association.
The committee also has voted in
favor of calling the new track
"Overton Field," after Yale's fa?
mous runner, who was killed in
France; the playing field at Yale
bowl the "Wilson Field," and the
boathousc to be constructed on
the banks of the Housatonic River,

Billiard Verdict
For Bob Cainief ax
Expected To-day
The chances are that a verdict iq.
the controversy regarding the three
cushion billiard championship of the
world between Robert Cannefax, of St.
Louis, and Aldredo De Oro, which has
been hanging fire since their meeting
at the Friars' several weeks ago,
will be disclosed to-day. And the in?
dications are that Cannefax will be de?
clared the victor.
When De Oro filed his protest with
j the Rrunswick-Balke-Collender Com
i pany following his defeat by Cannefax,
i the Brunswick concern, rather than as?
sume the responsibility of deciding the
; dispute involving $3,000, referred the
| matter to the Billiard Advisory Board,
! the supreme court of billiards.
This board is composed of Maurice
! Daly and Charles P. .Miller, of this
| city; Tom Foley, L. A. Bensinger and
! H. P. Davenport, of Chicago; W. Mus
sey, of Elyria, Ohio; Charles Petersen,
of St. Louis, and Sol. Allinger, of Phil?
adelphia.
Advices from the Chicago office of
ithe Brunswick-Balke-Collender Com?
pany are to the effect that the Western
men, to a unit, arc for Cannefax, but
the company will make no definite an?
nouncement until the signed statement
? of the board is received. In the mean?
while all bets are held in suspension.
If Cannefax is awarded the title his
-end of the purse will amount to $2,650,
?while De Oro will draw $350.

Vampire Plot to Lure Yale
Oarsmen Foiled by Coach
By W. O. McGeehan
NEW HAVEN, May 22.?What looked
"like an insidious plot on the part of
Harvard to "vamp" Yale out of this
year's regatta on tho Thames has been
uncovered and foiled. Theda Bara, Nor?
ma Talmadge, Mary Pickford and other
ladies involved in the alleged plot
have been exonerated as being inno?
cent victims of the propagandists.
Most vampires are proved innocent in
the last reel, anyhow.
The scenario of the plot and its dis?
covery would run somewhat as fol?
lows:
Reel 1?Scene is the water course
near Yale University. There are fif?
teen Yale crews actively engaged in
rowing. Professor Abbot, in charge of
the oarsmen, registers satisfaction. It
looks like a tough year for Harvard
at New London. Rooters, in charge of
the cheer leaders, line the banks.
Reel 2?Same set. There are only
three or four crews on the water. The
rooters and the cheer leaders have left.
Professor Abbot looks upon the scene
and registers great perturbation. He
walks through a New Haven street.
The street is lined with pictures ad?
vertising alluring reels. Posters ol
Theda Rara, Norma [Talmadge anci
Mary Pickford are everywhere, mostlj
pictures of Th-rda Bara. Professoi
Abbot pauses before a portrait of Mis?
Bara. The poster reads: "SEE TUKDA
BARA IN THE SOLL OF A VAM
PIRE."
Where the Roys Went
Reel 3?Professor Abbot conceal:
himself behind a lamppost in front o
the (?lobe Moving Picture Theatre. IT
watches the crowds going in. Tho cap
?i.ri of the freshman crew approachef
glances stealthily around and enter
the theatre. He is followed by th
stroke of the 'varsity. Close on hi
heel? cornes No 4 of the junior crev
Professor Abbot registers anger.
Reel 4 Mass meeting of Yale stu
dents interested in rowing. Professe
Abbot takes the platform and delivei
fiery oration denouncing movies. H
says: "I cannot believe that becaus
of the Globe and other movie theatrt
men will give up the good of the un
versity for the sirens of these place
If so, Yale is in a bad way."
Ouramcn register consternation
with the exception of one freshman
who says: "Mary Pickford isn't i
siren. Shjj's a peach."
i Jiecl 6?jrroX?aHOJf-AbbobB^M?o??*?
ing the train to Boston. He arrives at ?
Back Bay Station and takes a devious
way to Cambridge. As ho walks ho
scrutinizes the billboards carefully.
There arc.no pictures of moving pict?
ure actresses. The only entertainment ;
advertised is the Boston Symphony Or- j
chestra. Professor Abbot reaches the ?
banks of the Charles River. The water I
is fairly alivo with Harvard crews, all |
rowing earnestly. For a while Profes- j
sor Abbot registers despair. Then his
face clears. He sees it all. It is a
Harvard plot! Harvard secret agents
have sent those pictures to Vale!
Sinister Plot Thwarted
Reel 6?Professor Abbot arrives back
in Now Haven. On his way to the ?
university he stops before a portrait of !
Theda Rara in VAMPED TO A FRAZ
ZLE. He looks at it, registering dis- !
dain. "Ha! Ha! my proud beauty! I
have you foiled!" Scene shifts to meet?
ing of students interested in rowing.
Th?) professor discloses the Harvard
plot to pack Yale with moving pictures
of vampires thereby luring the oarsmen
from their work "for God, for Country !
and for Yale." Students rise, register- |
ing rage. They rush to the river and j
Kct out their shells. Once more the :
water course is filled with crews strain
ing to their utmost.
Reel 7?Professor Abbot and a squad
of rooters led by a cheer leader are
going through the streets of New
Haven with paint and brushes. As
they pass the posters they daub them I
with crimson, their real colors, the
colors of Harvard and of the Vampire.
As the squad passes, little freshman of
previous reel pauses before Mary Pick
ford and weeps.
"She is not a bad-duh woman!" ho
sobs. "1 can't believe that Mary is I
with Harvard!"
They'll Vamp No More
Anyhow Professor Abbot has taken
the Yale crews from the baleful influ- |
enees of the sirens of the Globe. Theda
Bara will vamp them no more, Mary ;
Pickford's tangled curls will no longer i
enmesh their straying thoughts. Their !
minds arc now concentrated on the
Now London race. Consensus of opin?
ion, however, is that the vampires men
tionod wore- innocently involved in the
crimson plot?if it was a plot.
No Loreleis will cause the straight
course of the Yale crew on the Thames j
to deviate this year. Back to the

way across the finish line. Flags, with Lyke up, is second and Star Master, ridden by Knapp, takes third money. The winner was'two lengths in
front of Flags at the end of the journey through the rnud. Under the strip is shown Lanius, with Loftus up.
Harvard Defies Yale
To Four-Oared Race
y\\ EW HAVEN, May 22. ? Har
i ^ vard has sent Yale a chal?
lenge for a four-oared boat race on
the day preceding the Thames River
regatta next, month. The? members
of such a crew would be substitutes
of the 'varsity eight.
Yale will decline neeauso the
training spring has not. embraced
four-oar work. Coach Maiher Ab?
bot may suggest that the race be
made one of eights, to be composed
of four 'varsity substitutes and four
freshmen in ?ich boat.
The crew management has de?
cided to send the Freshman crew
instead of the second 'varsity crew
to the American Henley on the
Schuvlkill May .'il.

Schupp and Toney
To Try Out Arms
Against Cardinals
The rain snatched the shuddering
Cardinals right out of the jaws of the
Giants yesterday. It also caused the
customary distress to Charles Ebbets,
the good old squire of Flatbush, by
postponing the Dodgers' encounter with
: the Pirates, who are hovering in this
vicinity for the first time this season.
In addition, one is reminded of the
fact that the double headers for later
on are piling up with considerable
celerity.
Right now the prospect of a lot of
double headers is far from comforting
to the Giants. They have a limited
and problematic force of pitchers, and
double headers require a lot of hurlers.
But it is certain McGraw will have a
hurling stalY to meet whatever contin?
gencies may arise as the league race
gets anywhere near a crisis.
Ferdinand Schupp, the young star
who failed so sorrowfully after a sea?
son of wonderful promise, is reported
to be rounding rapidly into shape. It
?s highly probable he will be given a
trial against the Cardinals. They look
soft enough at present for experimen?
tal purposes. Fred Toney, who has
been working out faithfully every day,
is another pitcher who may make his
season's debut against Branch Rickey's
guinea pigs. A lot of experiments may
he tried on them unless they show
some strength that has not been ex?
hibited so far in this present palpi?
tating season.
Wilbert Robinson is contemplating
some shifting of his infield. Ray
Schmandt, who has been doing nothing
but make the motions in a pinch, may
be seen back at work in the infield.
During the training season at Jackson?
ville he looked like a wonder before he
was spiked. He has recovered entirely
from his injuries and is too good a
man to be warming a bench.
Robbie does not look forward with
tenor to the flood of double headers.
He has the pitchers and all of them
appear to be in shape. When the de?
layed games start he looks for the
Dodgers to take a spurt that will an?
noy the leaders?if the Dodgers do not
happen to be the leaders at that time.
Mine Sweepers Ready
The Mine Sweepers' baseball team
of Squadron No. 10, last year's cham?
pions of both army and navy in base?
ball and basketball, held a meeting re?
cently for the purpose of electing a
manager and captain, and it was
unanimously decided to have Dan
Tierney, formerly a star outfielder of
the Montreal Club of the Interna?
tional League, to act as manager, and
Charlie Gross, former catcher of the
White Sox, as captain.

By Way of Revery
But yesterday I watched them start,
Young wonders all in serried row;
By now I've seen them all depart?
The years flow faster than we know.
For I remember, young and slim.,
Hotv Matty gathered game by game;
To-day how many mention him?
The years flow faster than all fame.
Where Wagner suning out for his blow?
Where Larry leaned against the ball?
How swift they 'were last week or so?
The years flow faster than them all.
To-day, fresh fronn the corner lot,
We praise some youngster on the team;
To-morrow's page will know him not?
The years fimo faster than we dream.
Hod Eller, the Red star of no-hit renown, has other distinctions. Hod
quit his job as a professional ball player back in 1916 to enlist in the army
along the Mexican border, which comes fairly close to be the enlisting
record among ball players. By pitching a no-hit game one start and
coming through with a thirteen inning shut-out at his next appearance
Hod took a sudden leap toward fame. Mr. Eller is six feet tall, weighs
180 pounds and is only twenty-five years old. He may yet prove to be
one of the main headline fillers of the hazy future. Things have hap?
pened so.
The Test
Young Hollocher, the Cub shortstop, belongs to that small but select
group which makes a hard play look as easy as a simple one. And this
is nearly always the test of greatness.
You may recall with what ease Nap Lajoie collected every chance,
making the toughest play resemble an easy grounder.
There is no particular effort in any of Hollocher's work. He is one
of those loose-jointed citizens who possess the knack, and you can write
him down now as one of the topnotchers for many years to come.
Concerning Putting
Putting is not a matter of stance or grip or club. We know four
great putters?Walter J. Travis, Jerry Travers, Francis Ouimet and
Tommy McNamara?who, in the main, employ different stances, grips
and clubs to achieve astounding results. I
Putting is a matter of touch. These four and a few others have this j
touch eternally at hand. Most of the multitude have it one day and lose
it the next. The result is they approach the putting green with badly j
cracked confidence. One or two slips, and they hit the Blooie Highway. I
The putter doesn't care whom it annoys. It has harassed the soul of
Harry Vardon for ten years and has had Chick Evans spinning like a j
top.
It's all a queer, uncanny mixture. You can't putt well unless you
have confidence?and you can't have confidence unless you putt well.
Practice will help a lot, but the golfer who lacks the putting touch has
a hard time ahead, so far as any consistent effort goes.
Rough Sights
I've seen rough sights that left a sting
Along life's busy marts;
But a club is a, terrible looking thing
In a hand that Jtolds four? hearts.
From sodden, sights I've often shrunk
Asmad life's bitter shades;
But a. heart is a terrible' piece of junk
In a hand that holds four spades.
George Stallings has always been a hard loser, but he has been
getting so much practice this season that it should come fairly easy
now. Nothing like old Henry J. Habit to grease the slides.
"It's all very well," comments W. H. G., "to say 'keep your eye on
the ball.' But how can you do it if you can't?'' That's something else
again. The only possible way out is to try to keep your mind on the
ball, and perhaps your flickering eye will linger there a trifle longer.
The eye is very apt to follow the. dictates of the mind.
Jack Dempsey Spars
With Willie Doyle
TOLEDO, Ohio, May 22.?Dempsey
did his first boxing to-day, stepping
two rounds with Willie Doyle, a light?
weight. The workout was in the na?
ture of a frolic for the challenger. He
also took a swim in the icy waters of
Maumee Bay, and was the only man in
camp who had the nerve to bravo the
cold plunge. Earlier in the day he
took a six-mile hike on the roads and
later played a game of handball.
Representatives of Willard are seri?
ously considering leasing the Casino,
a clubhouse a few hundred yards from
Dempsey's quarters, and Dempsey said
he would have no objection if the
champion moved next door to him to
do his conditioning.

Quinn Pitches
?Well Except
In the First
Chicago Bunches Hits in
the Opening Inning and
Scores Run That Wins
CHICAGO, May 22.-Jack Quinn held
the Chicago White Sox to four hits in
to-day's game, but two of these bir.gles
were bunched in the first inning to give
the local team the only run of th?
game and victory over the New York
Yankees. It was unfortunate for
Quinn, as he pitched spectacular ball
throughout, although at times his sup.
port was discouraging. Quinn was
jinxed before the opening of hostilitie?
when he was presented with a floral
horseshoe by local admirers.
The Yankees gathered no less than
nine hits, of which two were doubles,
but all these safeties were wasted.
I Williams was on the mound against the
visitors, and while hit freely was an
enigma in the pinches and splendidly
supported by his teammates. Lewii
was Williams's most determined oppo?
nent, collecting three hits, but the
other Yankee batters did not produce
the blow necessary to drive him home.
A ninth inning batting rally that
gave promise of putting the Yankees in
front failed to materialize. Again, in
this instance, Duffy Lewis was the cog
of the rally, as it was his double that
placed Pratt on third base with two
out. However, despite the earnest ef?
forts of Ping Bodie he drove a long
fly to right field that John Collins
pulled down only after a long run.
The White Sox's run in the first in?
ning came in quick order. Quinn
caught Liebold's bounder, tossing him
out at first, but Weaver smashed one
down along the third base line for two
bases. Collins lined to Bodie, but Joe
Jackson hit a safety to right that drove
Weaver home. Jackson was thrown
out at Becond by Bodie in trying to
stretch the hit, but the damage was
done.
Mogridge succeeded Quinn in the
eighth. The Yankees' poor fielding
put Mogridge in difficulty at the very
start. John Collins, batting for Lie
bold, was safe when Peok fumbled the
ball. Ruel immediately came to the
rescue when he caught Collins off
first with a ?nop throw. The next
two batt?rs w?re retired in order.
With two down in the ninth, the
Yankees started ? batting siege that
promised well. Williams managed to
deflect Pratt's bard ?mash, but the
batter was safe. *x<wis then doubled
to left and Pratt raced to third, but
Ping's best effort was a Song fly, which
left the two runners stranded on the
bases.
The score:
