FIRST MONTH OF BASEBALL PRODUCES MANY SURPRISES
MACKS, CARDS
IN SECOND
DIVISION
By BABE RUTH
i NEW YORK, May 14.—One
month of the playing season has
gone by and 1 think it has been
the most unusual start that the
big leagues have had in many
years. The National League has
been more of a puzzle than the
American in having so much
early dope turned upside down.
The World Champion Cardinals
Were still under the .500 mark
gfter a month of battling, and
so were the Giants, Dodgers and
Pirates, while the Braves, Phillies
and Reds were up in the first
division
In the American League the
big surprise was the failure of
the Athletics to get into winning
form. They spent the entire first
month down there in the second
division while the Tigers, who
had been picked to occupy a low
position almost from the start.
Were riding high and at one time
in front.
These were only a few of the
surprises. Take the Cubs, who
went to the front and gradually
increased their lead despite a
flock of injuries which kept sev
eral regulars out of the game.
Didn’t Miss Hack
We all thought that the Cubs
would begin to miss Hack Wilson
almost from opening day but
they stepped right out as if they
never had heard of the man who
was the biggest factor in their
' successes not so long ago.
Another surprise was the hit
ting of Hughey Critz, who be
gan to pound the ball cpening
day and showed little let-up
through the month. Not that I
wasn’t glad to see Hughey get
away so well, for he surely has
had his share of hard luck, and
more than his share. But we
have known him as a great field
er, rather than as r .400 hitter,
so his heavy hitting wa: a de
lightful surprise. It just shows
again that you can’t take any
thing for granted in baseball. Two
weeks before the season started
he was figured as a doubtful
starter because of his ailing arm,
which he had not let out in the
practice games during the train
ing season. Then he stepped in
to ’ y every day and pounded
the ball as he never pounded it
before.
Other unexpected performances,
though none the less merited on
that account, were the pitching
successes of Lon Warneke of the
Cubs, Huck Betts of the Braves
and Whitlow Wyatt of the Tigers.
Warneke and Wyatt won four in
a row and Betts won three, two
of Betts’ victories being from
the Giants.
Better Record
Who would ever guess, for in
stance, that one month after the
season < tened Betts would have
a better record than Ed Brandt,
the star left hander of the Na
tional League last year?
Th deal by which the Tigers
got Davis from the minor leagues
and put back Dale Alexander to
the ranks of substitutes, was an
other surprising happening dur
ing April. This occurred a day
before the start of the season. I
surely got quite a shock when 1
heard that Aleck was out as a
into the league.
our pitchers ever since he came
int othe league.
Os course, those three setbacks
which Lefty Grove encountered in
April also rate among the big sur
prises of the month, but I already
discussed these in one of my
previous articles. If odds were
placed on the average baseball
happenings a fellow could almost
write his own ticket on the idea
that Grove would be stopped
three times before May 1.
Ferrell Steps Out
Os course, everything didn’t go
topsy turvy in baseball. 'Wes Fer
rell stepped out and won himself a
flock of games right off the reel,
Ji- y Foxx batted his way to
the top of all major league bats
men, and the early dash of the
Washington club could hardly be
classed as an upset. I must say,
howe-.v, that I did not look to
see the Senators gallop away in
the wild fashion that they showed
in that first month of play.
It just emphasizes how little
can be t .ken for granted in base
ball.
That’s what makes the game so
attractive, I giiess. The most cer
tain thing about baseball is its un
certainty.

EX-REDS PROVE
BIG HELP TO
DODGERS
Brooklyn had a marked edge
over Cincinnati today in the bat
tle of former Dodgers and for
mer Reds, now being waged as
an interesting sideshow of the
» —
first series of the year between
the two clubs.
Joe Stripp and Tony Cuccinel
lo, former Rhineland infielders,
manufactured enough runs be
tween them to win the first two
games of the series for Brook
lyn without any help from the
other Dodgers.
Gilbert’s Error Costly
Babe Herman has done well
enough for Cincinnati, getting a
homer and a single yesterday, but
Wally Gilbert, another former
Dodger, has been a total loss to
the Reds in this series. He made
a costly error yesterday after
two were out, paving the way
for two Brooklyn runs as the
Dodgers won, 5 to 3, behind
Dazzy Vance’s pitching.
The improvement in Brooklyn’s
infield, however, has justified the
big winter trade. Strong men
fainted yesterday as Wright, Cuc
cinello and Kelly converted a
liner by Douthit into a triple
play, almost unheard of where a
Brooklyn team is concerned. It
was the first three-ply killing of
the season.
Bush Wins Own Gaihe
Pitcher Guy Bush, of the Cubs,
doubled in the ninth to win his
own game from Boston, 3 to 2,
and stretch Chicago’s lead over
the Braves to three games again.
Tom Zachary, the Boston hurler,
was enjoying a 2-to-l lead over
the Bruins until the final fire
works, which consisted of singles
by Moore, Stephenson, Grimm
and Jurges and Bush’s double.
Jimmy Foxx, leading the hitters
of both leagues, got four safe
wallops as the Athletics slaught
ered the St. Louis Brown, 9 to 4.
The Phillies got off to a 5-to-0
lead on the Cards but finally
blew the decision in the tenth,
8 to 7, on an error by Catcher
Todd.
LAYTON SHOWS FORM
CHICAGO, May 14.—Having
won eight blocks of their ten
block 500 point three cushion
billiard match, Johnny Layton to
day was the victor over Willie
? oppe, 500 to 405. In the last
two blocks Hop - 1 was the winner.
NICK
Altrock
SAYS:
Well, the Reds have got a
real team this year and Cincin
nati fans haven’t been so happy
NICK ALTROCK
Trotszky and Lenin.
I don’t say Cinci is liable to
snatch the pennant, but they’ll
make plenty trouble for any
team that tries to sit on the
flagpole. For the first time in
years the Reds look like they
belonged in a major circuit in
stead of the Epworth League.

SOUTHPAWS
NEW YORK. May 14.—Ernie
Schaaf got lost in a storm of
southpaw pokes in Madison
Square Garden last night and
came out of the portside twister
just in time to lose out a victory
over Jack Gross, of Philadelphia.
Schaaf beamed all over when
he got the award. Two official
votes went his way, while one
judge called it a draw.
Edge In Last Rounds
Schaaf made a savage finish
in the last two rounds, especially
in the final period, and this
round probably gave Ernie the
big edge with the jury.
Gross made a game fight of
it and surprised everybody. Jack
Sharkey, in Schaaf’s corner,
tried to coach Ernie on ways
and means of mincing a south
paw, but whatever the tip, It
didn’t seem to help.
No More Southpaws
Schaaf’s best round and the
most damaging to Gross was the
last chukker.
“I never fought a southpaw
before,” said Schaaf after
wards.
“And you’ll never fight an
other one,” chirped in Sharkey.

VETERAN RIDER
TAKES RIBBON
ST SHOW
By HARRY COSTELLO
A horse show is really a sports
event of the first water. For
some unknown reason, it is listed
as a society event.
Those who know horses, who
love them, resent the notion that
a horse show is a social function,
and nothing more.
Yesterday, at Bradley Farm,
several hundred persons, men
and women, watched a horse
show. Time was short, and the
schedule had been delayed. Judges
were impatient. They wanted to
catch up. Rain had interferred
with the first two days of the
show. Classes were rushed
through.
Few Knew Veteran
Came the “Touch and Out
Class.” It was a full class. Thir
ty-three horses competed. Nine
were tied. The other 24 were out
of it. The jumps were four feet
high. Officials ordered them
raised to 4 feet 6 inches.
About fifth or sixth among the
nine came a bay gelding, 16
hands high. He looked about
9 years old. In the saddle was
a master horseman.
Few in the gallery knew the
horseman. He was Louis Leith,
of the Virginia Leiths. There
are two Leiths, Osborne and
Louis. The latter is a horseman
known far and wide for his mas
tery of equitation. Buffalo Bill,
himself, placed the stamp of ap
proval on Louis Leith.
“He is a great horseman,”
Bill Cody, Buffalo Bill, said
many years ago. “He is, in
deed, a rough rider, one of the
very best, if not the best of
’em all.”
How many knew Louis Leith
as one of Buffalo Bill’s greatest
riders? Very few’.
Virginia Bred Horse
Under Louis Leith was Jump
ing Fool, whose daddy, District
Attorney, a Virginia bred horse,
was one of the greatest jumpers
of all time. With the jumps at
4 feet 6 inches, Jumping Fool
and Louis Leith took the blue
ribbon. Dr. Frank Humphrey,
from down Loudoun county way,
called the turn.
“A great horseman, and a
great jumping gelding. Be
tween them they should win,”
said Dr. Frank.
They did. Jumping Fool and
Louis Leith won. They are a
great pair.
The Leith’s of Virginia, are Vir
ginia’s greatest horsemen. When
they ride, they ride! Louis and
his brother follow the Middleburg
Hunt pack. They follow a sport,
not a social event! Rougn riders,
these Leiths, and sportsmen.
They know horses, and they are
from Middleburg, Va.
Real Sports Event
“This gelding,” said Louis
Leith, “is rightly named. He is
a jumping fool, and his name is
Jumping Fool. It is great sport
riding him. It is great sport
looking at him when he jumps.
He is a great horse. He is a
good sport. He loves to jump.
As far as Jumping Fool and my
self -are concerned, we have had
an afternoon of sport. Possibly,
a horse show is a social event.
I know it is a sports event of the
first water. Don’t you think
Jumping Fool proved it?”
We agree. Jumping Fool
proved It. It is an afternoon of
SPORT for any person when
Jumping Fool and Louis Leith are
teamed for a jumping event.
Horse show's, possibly, are social
events. When they have jumpers
in the ring, a horse show is a
sports event.
