No Jokin Boys, This is the Top ol the Pile 'way Up Here"-Joevl I
BILLY THORNTON WILL BE
THE THIRD MAN IN THE RING
Everything Is Humming at the Eagles' Gym "Who's Going
to Win?" "Dunno," Says Promoter Billy Glasmann,
"Your' re as Good Guesser as I Am."
FRANKAGE.
(By dex.)
"Yes. we're a few feet higher than
'Frisco. Joey. But then you'll fret used
to it. We're nut going 'Up, Up Every
Day. "
Frankie Gage settled down to real
training today for his coming 20
round argument with Joe Miller at
'he Armory, Wednesday, May 1st
Frankie is a bear for work clamoring
out of the hay at 6 bells for a spin
along the country roads, just as ani
appetizer- Then he waded into tlje,
punching bag and shook the rafter? in
'be gym for 20 minutes, and off to the
plunge to refresh and invigorate his I
sturdy physique. "Now for the big
eats at Harvey's.'' says Frankie, "and
theil for a look over the buxg."
It sure does a fellow good to meet
wp with a bo like Gage. Gentleman
ly, pleasant and talkative about ev
erything but his coming bout. He can
spin yarns about all the worth-while
bouts from New Orleans to San DlegO
and then swing the argument way
down lo (he bull rings of Juarez, where
he wallowed around in the sawdust to
the delight of the Greasers. And it's
a good clean record of Frankie's, noth
ing more dangerous than an occasional
draw.
Joey Miller will go after the rough
work tomorrow morning. Joey has I
been suffering wi'Ji a slight attack of
the grippe for the past few days, but Is
now reported as folly at himself again, i
and from this on will rapidly take off
the little surplus and round out into
prime condition. Joey is a fine, smooth!
little bunch of activity and goes about
everything in a business-like manner,
and is not in the habit of overlook
ing anything that will advance his in
terests in the ring. He's quick as a!
I flash and cool as the proverbial acb-
i producer. Miller has a legion of
friends hereabouts and the Eagles'
gym will be crowded at the workouts
Promoter Billy Glasmann has an
nounced that Biil Thornton will again
appear as the third man in the ring.
This will be pleasing news to the fol
lowers of the game, as there is no bet
ter choice when it comes to referees.
Thornton has proved himself both fair
to the public and the principals, and
this is all that anyone could ask.
The eight-round go between Iee
Morrissey and Eddie White should
draw a big bunch of fans from the!
north. Lee is a big favorite with the
Gem state spud producers: and there!
is always plenty of kale to see him
through: no matter how tough his op
ponent But we can t give Lee a shade
the better of the argument from this
angle, as Eddie has always proved a
Cast consistent mixer and he has a 1
nice little punch tucked away that J
will settle almost any argument if he
can succeed in placing it in just the
right spot This will prove to be
White's last appearance in the squared
eirele. n- he leaves with the boys on
Ma 5lh to do a little scrappln' "over
there" with one of Johnny Browning's
Boche annihilators And we can think I
of no better time than riht now to
wish Eddie the best of good luck and
a safe return to the land of liberty.
With a four-round curtain -raiser to
start the bill we can't help but be
lieve that the big crowd of red-blooded
joy hunters will be tolerably well en
tertained for a couple of hours.

BEES TRIM THE
SENATORS 7 TO 3
Bill Rodgers' "Raw Meat
Eaters" Fail to Find Leverenz
and Bees Win.
SALT LAKE. April 23 Yesterday
we saw Bill Rodgers and his "raw
meat eaten" from Sacramento and we
saw the Bees trim them rather hand
ily, 7 to ?. The boys under the former
Beaver captain made a lot of noise and
we expected that as we had previous
ly been warned, but they did not snow
us a great deal of baseball-, even
though the score was only 7 to 3.
Perhaps they will show us a little
more class today after a good night's
rest following the journey from Cali
fornia. Then. loo. the Senators might
have had an off day. We cannot make
ourselves believe that the boys under
Bill Rodcers played up to the stand
ard which they set at San Francisco
and for which they were given so
much commendation in the 'Frisco
papers. If Rodgers' club did not have
an off dav yesterday it is mighty evi
dent that it will take more than the
addition of Harry Wolter to make a
ball club out of it when the going gets
hard and class begins to tell.
Pipe for Leverenz.
Walter Ieverenz did not work any
too well himself yesterday, yet h
Senators, except in the first inning,
looked mighty weak against him
In the first frame Eldred beat oat
an infield hit on a close play and Bill
Rodgers. with two strikes on him,
nicked Leverenz for a double that
scored the former Bee from first A
wild pitch put the Sacramento mana
ger on third and a sacrifice fly scored
him.
From then on. until the last inning,
when Leverenz became careless, the
I i- ton did not have anvthing that re
sembled a look in In that ninth frame
Leverenz disposed of Eldred and Rod
urr but Wilie laced out a clean dou
ble to left center. Easterly dumped
a tick -fly Just behind Siglln and Wilie
scored, but from then on Leverenz
again put on the brakes and it was
curtains.
Bees Get Busy.
The Bees got back the two Sacra
mento runs in a hurry. Farmer, the
first man up, doubled to right and Slg
lin sent him over with a neat hit
through third. Ryan also singled and
Crandall put Siglin over with a sacri
fice fly. bill rr tore one over Rod
gers' head a mile a minute and there
the scrappy little Solon pulled 'he
prettiest catch of the season. He went
high in the air and speared the drive
and of course, had a double play made
to order as Chappell was already over
the plate.
Chappell broke the ice again in the
second with a single over short and
then Earl Sheely laced out that long
postponed homer over his favorite
fence, his first of the season.
Salt Lake's run in the fourth was
not earned Konnlck got a life as a
result of a boot by Prentice. Leverenz
sent the catcher over with a long
single to right
Tough the Youngster.
Buddy Ryan almost tore a hand off
from young Prentice at third with a
bingle in the eighth and the boy was
1 to retire. Crandall sacrificed
and Orr walked Chappell rapped a
double against the right wall, scoring
Ryan and putting Ort on second Shee
i nil one on the handle toward kamm
at third and the kid made tuo plav
I at the plate to catch Orr, but he
missed fire. Konnick almost dumped
! one over Rodgers' head that would
have scored the men ahead, bnt Bill
Rodgers again made a great catch
1 and a double play was his reward.
Harry Gardner was hittablo when
I ever the Bees really needed a blow
or two to score and high-class field
ing by Rodgers saved his bacon sev
eral limes.

SEALS LOSE TO

Opening Game of Week's
Series Is Easy Victory for
Ote Crandall.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 23 The
Angels ran away with the first frame
of the series with the Seals today, 7
to 1.
Crandall held the champions to four
very much scattered hits, while Kan
tlehner. the Seals' server, was erratic
and several times in hot water. The
I Angels had a 2 to 0 lead at ine be
ginning of the eighth, in which frame
they solved whatever mystery Kan
tlehner may have had on the ball and
put over four runs.
The Seals in their half scored their
only tally of the day Jerry Downs
put a pinch hitter in for Kantlehner
and made teveral other attempts to
start a real rally, but Crandall was t
too good.
Phillips twirled the last inning for
the Seals and the Angels rang the bell
on him.
Killefer gathered three hits in four
times up, one of them a spanking two
bagger. The score :
