Howley’s Experiments Fall Just Short of Success
_ ____ *- w m .. ~ 0 ' ■
CUBS DEFEAT
GIANTS 20-18
American League Produce*
Four Tight Battles
Wedne»day
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON. Jr..
.Associated Press Sports Writer
Dan Howley. manager of the Cin
cinnati Reds, has become one of
the leading experimenters of the
National league as well as one of
its leading traders, and he has pros
pects of good results if he can mold
the material he now has into a co
ordinated baseball team.
The Reds, as they are now, seem
to have everything but. the ability j
to make their hits count. They
got plenty of blows, 84 of them in
their last seven games, and fre
quently have good pitching to go
with them, but still they lose the
close decisions and games in which
they have the best of the hitting.
Howley put Pat Crawford in the
lineup yesterdav and made Bob ?
Meusel lead off. The result was
good enough to produce 14 solid
hits but not a victory. Their op
ponents. the New York Giants, got i
but 12 blocs, but six of them came
In succession from the first six
batsmen in the opening inning and
started the Giants off to a 8-1 lead
and an 8 to L victory. Pete Donohue
continued the act that the former
Beds who now wear Giant uniforms
have been staging by pitching a
fair game and contributing a home
run to his first victory for New
York.
Beauroup Hits
The hit totals made by the Reds
and Giants, big as they were, ap
peared small when the Chicago
Cubs got into action and they
trounced the Boston Braves, 18 to
20. The Cubs hit 20 times for 34
bases, getting six doubles, a triple
and two homers, and gave Harry,
Seibold and his two successors a1
bad time of it.
The Cubs finished only two games
r*>hind Brooklyn as the Robins lit
erally threw a ways a game to the
Pittsburgh Pirates by a 12 to 6
score. The Robins made eight er
rcTs most of them on bad throws,
and nearly every bobble meant a
Pittsburgh run. The Pirates made
five errors on their own part but
not at such costly paints in the
game. This result left the Pirates
cnly a game behind the St. Louis
Csrdnials, who lost the day's only
rt.ound duel in the National league
to Philadelphia. 2 to 1 Benge gave
the Cards only four hits.
The American loague produced
fou;- tight battles, three of them
going ten innings. The leading
Philadelphia Athletics beat nut the
St. Louis Browns. 4 to 3. in the |
only nine inning contest as Sam
Gray, formerlv the star of the
Brownie mound staff, lost his ninth
straight game.
Rallv Wins
Washington scored thrpe runs in
the tenth tc beat out the Detroit
Tigers, 11 to 8. after Detroit had
scored six runs in the last three
regular innings to gain a tie
The Yankees dropped an 8 to 7
decision to the Chicago White Sox
ai. Johnny Kerr followed thp ex
ample set for him at few innincs
earlier bv Babe Ruth and won the
game with a home run after two
wire out in the tenth inning. The
Pp.be had tied the count in thr sev
enth by his eighteenth homer of
t*e year. Ed Morris of the Boston
Red Sox proved better in the long
run than Willis Hudlin of Cleve
land and gave Boston a 5 to 4 vic
tory in another ten Inning duel.

Is Night Baseball New? Why It
Was Played in the Gay Nineties
BY GAYLE TALBOT JR.
Associated Press Sports Writer
DALLAS. Texas. June 5— i>Pj—
Leave it to the old timer to go you
one better!
Just when the present generation
was ready to claim credit for con
ceiving something different—night
baseball—up pops Fred Mosbach of
The San Antonio Express with an
account of two nocturnal frays at
San Antonio in 1897. Mosebach.
dean of Texas sports writers, is
blessed w-ith a remarkable memory.
He writes:
“Night baseball and night foot
ball were played 33 years ago.
“On November 20. 1897. the Car
lisle Indians defeated Illinois in a
football game in the old Coliseum
in Chicago. 23 to 6.
“The same year the Bronchos
played a game of baseball by elec
tric light in old San Pedro Park in
this city. #
“In fact, they played two games
at night, one on June 30 with the
Houston Mudcats and the other on
July 1, with the Galveston Sand
crabs, these clubs being here on
those dates on the Texas League
schedule. The games, however, were
not league championship contests,
merely exhibitions.

J. Jack Brenan was the umpire.”
Unfortunately. Mose” does not
go into detail on the two games,
but the scores would indicate they
were anything but farces. He does,
however, give further proof that
there is nothing new under the sun
in an added paragraph:
“It was the second half of the
season, which was split because of
the unconquerable lead the Bronchos
had attained.”
They probably accused the mag
nates of being money-mad even in
that golden era.
The Spring Lake country club golf
tournament at Waco June 11 to 12
will present a significant departure
from the accepted rules of tourna
ment play.
For the first time in Texas, and
perhaps, in the country, amateurs
and professionals will meet in match
play. Most of the states leading
lights from both groups have en
tered It should prove an interesting
experiment, and it would not be
surprising to see an amateur walk
off with the big trophy.
Unless it is the veteran Jack
Burke ct Houston, there is not a
professional in the state possessed
of any marked superiority over such
Simon-pures as Willie Hunt. Ossie
Carlton, Dennis Lavender, Gaston
Peek. Gus Moreland, Lanham Con
ner and others. And there is a sus
picion that Burke is not quite what
he used to be ten j'ears ago.
Amateurs and professionals have
met in competition for many years,
but in medal play. The open title of
Texas might come to be a muchly
coveted crown in a few years.
The Lavender boy from Abilene,
incidentally, has accepted a chal
lenge from Frank Roxhall of Mem
phis. Texas, for a special 72-hole
match to settle the championship of
‘ Greater West Texas'. The dates
and sites had not been selected at
he writing.
Lavender, former state champion,
recently won the West Texas Golf
Association title for the second time
in three years in the tournament
at Brown wood. Foxhxll has won thr
Green Belt tournament at Quanah
for two straight, years. Foxhall Is
sued the challenge and Lr-.-cnder ac
cepted.
Terms of the match call for 36
hc’cs on a course designated by
favender and 36 on a layout chosen
iy Foxhall. Although little known
in state golfing circles. Foxhall is
said to be of sensational golf. Lav
enders game needs no recommen
dation.
