Vick Misses Circus Catch
And White Sox Triumph
Ball Evades Right Fieldrr and Four Members of
American League Leaders Cross the Plate;
Cicotte Outlucks Shore Upon Yankees' Return
By W. O. McGeehan
Tho Yanks will not tell it to the Marines. If they have anything to
say in regard to that organization it will not get hy tho censor. Eddie
Collins, ex-Marine, won tho game for the White Sox yesterday with the
fluki-.-st sort of a home run, coming- with the bases filled in thc eighth
inning. This made tho final score for the White Sox and Marines 5 to the 1
ione run achieved hy tlie Yankees.
Mr. Cicotte contributed to the discomfort and discomfiture of the
Yankws. Mr. Cicotte frequently h;is annoyed the Yankees and?for that.
fljatter?all the teams in the American League. An error of judgment
and an error in fact on the part of J. Franklin Baker, thc Trappe, Mary?
land, agriculturist, helped the Yanks to take the slide.
It was one aDiece in the eiehth when ? -
Shore weariiy lobbed one right over to
Schalk with two strikes on him. Schalk
lifted the ball to centre for a single.
Cicotte rolled one down to Baker for
a sacrifice. The agriculturist fielded
the ba'.i and was about to hurl it to
first.
Somebody shouted: "Second base."
It was Eddie Murphy on the coaching
lines for the Sox. and his intentions
were not honorable. P.aker seemed be
wildered at the yell and turned toward
second, making the peg to the wrong
bag. Cicotte was safe at first and
Schalk was on second nlmost before the
ball was thrown. Leibold lobbed one
to Baker, who was smarting with in
dignation over the Prussian tactics
adopted by Murphy. He put some of
the venom into the throw and it pulled
I'ipp off tlie bag.
For the (ilory of Marines
This combination of disconcerting
eiccumstances filled tlie bases. Weaver
fouled out to I'ipp. Then came Ed?
ward Collins, late of the Marines. lt
had been a big afternoon for Edward
even before this time. Before the
game he had been paraded aeross the
tield by a well drilled marine band which
remained at the Polo Grounds to see
him achieve something for tlie further
glory of the Marine Corps. And Ed?
ward did.
He slammed the ball to short right
field. Samuel Vick came trundling in
to make a circus catch and stop the
impending drive. The bal] was graz
ing tlie top uf the grass when Vick
made a wild dive to nail it with one
? ager hand. He plowed a furrow in
the turf with his nose, but the hall

I*he ??-;.":' eccentric performance was
ataged by Ernie Shore in the fourth.
With Weaver on third and Felch on
tirst the Sox tried the double steal.
Hannah made the blufli at second. but
threw the bal I . her... Big Ernie
held it and meditated. Then it seemed
ir to him that Heinie Zim. of
the Giants, had achieved notoriety
equal to thal attained by Merkle by
running a man down. Ernie started
ponderously after Weaver instead of
throwing to the base. Weaver slid
hack safely.
The Yanks got their lone run in
the tirst when Vick singied and went
down on Peckinpaugh's sacritice. Baker'a
drifc to short right brought him home.
The Sox tied it in the second, when
Felsch forced Jackson and scored on
J. Collins's long drive to left for
two bases. 'fw.ee after that the Sox
started innings with two-base hits, but
Shore seemed to stiffen in the pinch.es
until the terrible eighth and the e.\
ploit of the Marine.
It looked like a Yank rally for a

started it with a single. Instantly

First Real Test; Dons
Gloves for Six Rounds
TOLEDO, June 5.?With his heavy?
weight ehampionship contest with Jack
Dempsey less than a month away, Jess
Willard to-day settled down seriously
to the task of conditioning himself to
face his youthful challenger.
Tho champion increased his boxing
to six rounds, covered five miles on
the road. tugged at the weights, shadow
boxed and wrestled. It was tho best
workout he has had since he landed
in camp last Monday. A ".apacity
crowd, including about 200 women,
jammed the canvas-enclosed arena to
watch him ro through his paces.
Willard boxed two rounds with
: Walter Monahan, two with Jack Hemp
sel and one each with Jack Lavin and
Joe Sullivan.
"Big Jess" worked nice>y, except for
a display of bad wind, v/hich he is at
tempting to correet by road work. tie
boxed under wraps, however, as a re?
sult of knocking out Monahan yester?
day, and did not let any of his punches
fly with full force.
Hay 0. Archer, business representa?
tive of the champion, left for Xew
Vork to-night in nn attempt to Iocat?
at least two formidable sparring
partners big enough and physically
capable of swapping punch for punch
with the champion. Those in camp at
present are. considcred all right for
exercise purposes, but they cannot hit
Willard hard enough to sting him, and
he cannot cut loose at them without
fear of hurting them.
Sullivan, a former high school foot?
ball star, who has had two or three
professional bouts, whaled away at the
champion from the start of their round.
Willard promptly lowered his gloves
and permitted him to whang away at
his jaw and body at will.
The title-holder at tirst stood still
and when he thought. Sullivan had
landed enough punches he started head
slipping and had Sullivan missing
without even using his arms or gloves
in defence.
Willard did his road work in the
vicinity of an automobile plant, the
scene of rioting two days ago, and
Promoter Rickard cautioned him to keep
away from the trouble, as he feared
some of the idle workers might hurl a
brick.
Dempsey rilc? no work to-day, aside
from taking a swim and driving his
motor car. He i? chafing under re
straint, but will not be permitted to
resume training until Saturday.

EDDIE COLLINS, who in his younger days played second
base for the Columbia University nine and has for several
years past guarded the keystone sack for the White Sox,
broke up the ball game between the Yankees and the Chicago
Americans at the Polo Grounds yesterday in the eighth inning
by hitting a home run with the bases full. It is true Sammy Vick
may have played the ball a bit badly, but it was a wicked clout
for all that and did the business.

Something for Your Pipe
A large number 8f bystanders and observers have wondered why it
is that the fighting men of the United States, Great Britain and France,
battling side by side in a common cause. have developed a feeling of
individual unfriendliness, few of them looking upon the others with any
noteworthy esteem.
There are a number of reasons for this. One of them is old-fashioned,
age-worn human jealousy and envy. But the main reason is lack of a
mutual understanding.
Few Americans understand either Englishmen or Frenchmen. The
French understand neither Americans nor Englishmen. And the English
arc in the same ftx regarding their allies.
All have their faults.
The French are inclined to be over-thrifty and none too clean by
modern standards.
Finding patronizing Englishmen is not a difficult job.
And too many Americans are none too careful in restraining their
claims. Before the war the old U. S. of A. as a nation was quite shy
on dignity. It has improved since. And dignity, of the right sort, has
its place. The main trouble was that each nation has been diagnosing
the faults of its allies without inspecting pr correcting its own.
All this is a part of the mutual lack of understanding that exists
The best way to bring this understanding about is through international
sport. This will develop both respect and friendship. where war, even
among those fighting together. works in just the opposite direction.'
Oh, Gavvy!
Oh, my legs feel so awful iveak, 1 cannot chase that pill;
I cannot run, I cannot slide, I feel so bloomin' ill:
/ cannot field and I can't steal, I scarce can catch at all
In fact, I can't do anything?but siam thc bally ball.
It isn't right?it isn't fair?to keep me in thc game_
l'm much too old and siek a guy to care for cheers and famc;
In fact, 1 am so very old?my eyesight is so dense?
I can't do nothing to that ball but pole it to tho fence.
GEORGE TREVOR.
Concerning the Yanks
If any one ever figures that a pennant race is ever jockeyed for thc
sake of increased gate receipts or that any one town is ever favored, con?
sider the case of the Xew York Yanks.
The Yanks are operating in a city where a pennant winner would
provide a financial killing, not only for their owners, but for all visitintr
clubs. h
Yet,<after scrambling around for a matter of sixteen or seventeen
years, thfe Yanks have never won a pennant yet.
Thc* have tried Clark Griftith, who won two pennant* for the White
Sox; Frank Chance, who won four pennants for the Cubs; George Stall
ings, who won a world series with the Braves, among manv other man
agers.
And yet here they are, still groping for the heights, with a pretty
good ball club, but one that has more than one tough combination to over
throw. The Yanks are pretty fair testimony to the fact that pennant
races are not handed to any one city in advance.
Our Old Friend, the Duffer
Some da.ys thc duffer's in a rut?
He cannot drive, he cannot putt;
On other days, as like as not,
Hc cannot play o mashie shot.
And then again, too weak or strong,
His bally chip shots all go wrong.

Medalist in "Met" Title
Tourney Extended by
Kerr; Anderson Loses
BRIDGEPORT. June 3.?With six ;
ehampionship matches carried to the
home green, or beyond. interest never
lagged throughout the first and second
rounds of the Metropolitan Golf Asso- :
ciation tournament at the Brooklawn
Country Cub to-day. A. L. Walker, jv.,
the Richmond County lad who won the
qualifying medal, was one of the fortu- i
nates to save himself in the home ',
green, defeating il. K. Kerr, of Green
wich.
Kerr had flashed to the fore a few
hours earlier by removing John G.
Anderson after the Siwanoy captain
had been .'! up. On the other hand
such well known performers as Max
Marston, Gardiner White, Oswald Kirk- '
by, the title holder, and I). K. Sawyer
L'ame through.
As the situation now stands the stir
vivors will meet in the third round as
follows: .Marston vs. White, Walker
vs. Carhart, Benton vs. Kirkby, Stod- !
dard vs,. Sawyer.
The supporters ol' White were kep!
guessing in the morning, when his
opponent, Grantland Rice, started out
like a champion. So steadily did the
Englewood man play that he had White
J down at the turn, Rice going out
in 38. White drew level at the eleventh
ind later on was aided by stymies.
After winning the sixteenth he became
! up, and a 1 at the next made him
a winner. Later White defeated Cor
nclius .1. Sullivan. the Metropolitan As?
sociation president, at the sixteenth.
Marston had nothing but praise for
Harris B, Fenn, his first round oppo
net from Ridgewood. By going out in
'.8 Fenn gained a lead of 2 up, but he
20uld not maintain the pace coming
back. The Baltusrol man became,one
up at the sixteenth and settled mat
ters with a 4 at the next.
That match apparently placed Mars?
ton right on edge for W, Parker See
ley, Brooklawn's main hope. Only one
over 4s for eight holes, the former Xew
fersey champion stood 5 up there. He
lost the ninth with a 4, but turned for
home 1 up, having made tbe outward
half in 37 to the other's 41. From
there or. halves resulted, except at the
twelfth, which Seeley won. A pair of
ls at tlie sixteenth left Marston a win?
ner,
Young Walker's opponents kept him
iusv both morning and afternoon. J. D.
Chapman, of Greenwich, his first an
.agonist, developed the happy faculty
:i." running down long putts. lt was
hat kind of golf that won the tenth
ind eleventh for Chapman, thereby
ilacing the former interscholastic
Miampion one down. Walker's fine
ong game told in the end, the match
?nding at the sixteenth.
It remained for Hamilton K. Kerr,
however, to almost east consternation
n the Walker camp. It was a case of
il! square at the turn. Later, the
3reen\vich man became 2 down, but
lrew level by winning the rifteenth
ind seventeenth holes.
To the home hole Walker had an in
lifferent drive. but a long iron from
.he rough landed his ball hole high
lack of the mounds. In the meantime,
Kerr half topped his second shot. the
>all stopping 40 yards short of the
rreen. He was again short of the hole
>n his third and missed going down in
he next. But not so Walker, who
irought off an eight-foot down hill
iutt in bold style, to win the hole in 4
ind the match by 1 up. He had 79 to
\crr's SO.
BRIDGEPORT, June 6.-?Ned Saw- ,
ycr, former Western champion, and
lack Stearns had a famous grapple
in the forenoon round. They came to
the seventeenth hole all square when
.Stearns hooked his iron to the green,
leuving him one down. The last hole
u;>.s a thriller. Sawyer was in the
rough Stearns down the middle; Saw
yer's second caught the rough to the
right. of the green with an intervening
pit with Stearns on the green's edge.
Sawyer's third was twelve feet from
the cup when Stearns ran his approach
putt short. But the Nassau star never
had a chance to sink his eight-footer.
as Sawyer dropped his twelve-foot tap
as easily as the average duffer can
take a seven on the long eleventh
hole at Brooklawn.
For nine holes John G. Anderson
romped merrily along at the expense
of Hamilton Kerr, and then Kerr de- '
cided to try out a bit of romping on
his own account. He squared the
match at the fourtecnth, won the fif
teenth and then gracefully gave John
G. an opening at the seventeenth. But
both missed their drives and Anderson
had the longer way to go after his sec
ond shot. ln the afternoon when Kerr
was three down to young Walker, the
Columbia captain, he still hung on
grimly and went after his man up to
the finish with every shot he had. Two
stymies failed to cheer Anderson up.
In his forenoon round Gardiner'
White found the rough only twice '
from the tee in eighteen holes and
took no more than two putts on any
green. Which is not a bad record for
steadiness on both the long and short
game.
William Reekie encountered quite
a shock in his collison with J. C. Par
rish. Reekie was one of the leading
favorites, a campaigner of the Scotch
school. The two were about nip and
tuck for the first ten or twelve holes,
but Parrish suddenly turned and con
tributed a three on the J20-yard four?
teenth, a two on the next, and when
he sunk his four on the sixteenth .the
battle was over.
Oswald Kirkby swung back into hia
old stride in the forenoon round. Ho
hnd been playing golf at only spnre in
tervnls up to this tournament nnd so
was well off on qunlifying day, with
an indicution of Btrngth ut the tinish.

Among i\et Victors
The singles matches in the West?
chester Country Club's annual invita?
tion lawn tennis tournament began
yesterday afternoon with several prom?
inent players in the draw. Among ihe
winners in the second round were
Major G. B. Harran, Fred C. Baggs,
S Howard Voshell, Beals. Wright, Rob?
ert Le Hoy and Dr. P. B. Hawk. The
tournament will be completed to-mor?
row afternoon.
Major Harran, the British army offi?
cer, took the measure of the steady
going G. A. L. Dionne at 9?7, 6?2,
giving some flashes of high quality
tennis as he cut off Dionne's drives at
the net. Voshell had an easy time
with Hoffman Nickerson, winning at
6?0, 6 i', in a match that was distin?
guished by the winner's hard smashing
and fast volleying.
Wnght, the veteran internationalist,
eliminated Dr. William Rosenbaum at
6- 2, 6?0, showing much of his old
marvellous skill at the volleying game.
Le Roy, another court veteran, con
quered the hard hitting Francis T.
Hunter at 6?4, 6?4, his machine-like
driving accounting for the victory. Dr.
Hawk made the upset of the tourney
by defeating Harry C. Johnson, of Bos?
ton, ar 6?3, 6?4.

Yesterday, however, in his opening
battle, he was only 1 over 4's for the
tirst 13 holes, where the match ended.
Kirkby won in 1914 at Englewood
and 1916 at Nassau. Uncanny golf by
Walter J. Travis dropped him in 1915,
the year that Travis beat Traversj
Kirkby and Anderson in succession to
win his last Metropolitan champion?
ship.
Cornelius J. Sullivan and Pierre
Proal had.a territic hand-to-hand con
fiict in their forenoon meeting. They
came to the 18th all square, halve'd
that after reaching pits to the right of
the green and then fought it out for
-2' holes before the M. G. A. president
finally eliminated the Deal entry. The
combination of 22 holes and tlie heat
left both golfers a trifle wilted, as
each was in there for a tinish right.
And the fourth extra hole was a good
half mile from the clubhouse.
One of the great contests of the day
was between John Montgomery Ward
and Frank H. Hoyt, two of the veter
ans who had three qualifications to
bank on?viz., they can both play golf,
they can both stick to a tinish and
they can come near out-putting any
other four men in the tournament.
Here is one sample. Hoyt was 1 up
at the 420 fourtecnth. He was 40
feet over the green in 3 while Ward
was on in 2, 30 feet away. Hoyt then
stepped up and sank his 40-foot putt
for a par 4 while Ward only missed
his 30-footer by an inch or two. At
the tinish John M. stood 1 up in a well
played, hard fought match with very
little wasted in the way of bad golf on
either side.

Loser in Two
Straight Sets
Miss Zinderstein and Miss
Goss, National Doubles
Champions, Score Victory
By Fred Hawthorne
Mrs. George W. Wightman, former
national champion, forced her way
into the final round of the singles in
tho women's metropolitan lawn tennis
championship tournament yesterday by
defeating Mrs. Robert Le Roy at 6?0,
6?2, in the semi-final round on the
turf courts of the West Side Tennis
Club of Forest Hills.
In the women's doubles, paired with
Miss Eleonora Sears, Mrs. Wightman
went into the final round by defeating
Miss Helen Gilleaudeau and Miss
Helene Pollak at 6?4, 7?5, in a match
tl.at developed unexpectedly severe op?
position.
Miss Marion Zinderstein and Miss
Eleanor Goss, present national cham?
pions in the doubles, gained tho other
final round bracket by vanquishing
Miss Caroma Winn and Miss Gertrude
Della Torre at 6?3, 7?5, the title
holders being forced to uncover their
full battery of volleying and smash?
ing tactics to pull out the victory.
Title Decision To-morrow
This afternoon at. 3 o'clock Miss
Zinderstein and Miss Goss will meet
in the semi-final round of the singles
in the lower half, the winner to face
Mrs. Wightman for the championship
to-morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. The
doubles championship final will follow
immediately after the linish of the
singles.
Seventeen teams started play yester?
day in the mixed doubles, with Mi?3
Zinderstein and William T- Tilden, 2d,
national indoor champion, reaching
into the semi-final round, by virtv.e of
three consecutive victories. Miss Sears
and Clifton B. Herd also gained their
semi-final round bracket in the op
posite side of the draw. The final
round match in this event will be
played to-morrow afternoon. following
the final round singles match.
Mrs. Wightman, in her match with
Mrs. Le Roy, dropped the only games
she has lost since she began play in
the singles, a record of decisive vic?
tories that has probably never been
equalled in women's lawn tennis in
this country. There were several times
when Mrs. Le Roy threatened to win
other games from the former national
singles champion, but each time, when
the supreme test come. Mrs. Wightman
settled matters by rushing the net and
scoring on perfect placement aces.
The hopekssnoss of Mrs. Le Roy's
task became apparent soon after the
match began. She is one of the most
determined players on the courts, and
covers her territory in a manner that
is amazing, but all this was of small
use against the quality of tennis she
was up against yesterday.
Mrs. Wightman. having made her
opening3 with splendid forcing shots,
closed in at the net position and tin
ished off the points, either by superbly
placed full volley shots to the corners
or down the sides, or else she smashed
with a fmality that invariably brought
applause from the spectators.
Expends Much Energy
Mrs. Le Roy ran ceaselessly about
her court, making remarkable "gets"
of her opponent's returns, and it. did
seem as though she deserved a better
fate, in view of the great amount of
energy she expended, but it wag not
to be. Mrs. Wightman held command
at almost every stagf. She always
knew what to do. andi what is more,
she had the ability to do it.
Losing the first set :,\ "love," Mr-.
Le Roy only played up more strongly
m the second, and her efforts were
finally rewarded by the winning of two
games. She accomplished this only
by the most desperate playing, scoring
on beautiful passing shots as Mrs.
Wightman came in toward the net.
The doubles play was filled with
brilliant tennis in the semi-final round.
with the losing pairs in each instance
giving their famous opponents plenty
of work to do to come through success
fully. In the main. it was a case of the
strong net attack against the steady
back-court game in both matches, with
tlie net players proving the better.
