"CHICK" HAFEY DRAWS PRAISE New York, Apr. 20—(U.R)—The conclusion of the opening series of major league baseball this season finds the fans’ hats off to “Chick” Hafey of the St. Louis Cardinals, a player beset by hand luck since first he broke into fast company. For a time it seemed as , though sinus trouble and other handicaps might force Hafey out of the National league and possibly cause him to give up baseball altogether. "Chick" couldn't see the length of his bat for a time. Now he is out in front of the home run parade, with a fine start towards seasonal honors, and every fan who has followed his ups and downs rooting hard for him. Hafey hit two home runs yesterday, to help the St. Louis Cardinals to beat the Cincinnati Reds. His first drive cleared the scoreboard at Redland Park which is 415 feet from home plate and 25 feet high. This was the longest blow ever made in Cinclnnai. A little later. Hafey drove another homer over the left field fence. In the opening game of the season, “Chick" hit a homer off Red Lucas, who had been working effectively, enabling the Cardinals to start the pennant race with a victory. Hafey's home run total for the season is three, but then the Cards have played only four games, so “Chick’s” average is not so bad. The chances are that if this continues, Hafey’s optician will start advertising, for “Chick" took to glasses as a last resort, and with pronounced success. Pew ball players have made good behind spectacles in fast company. There was Lee Meadows, foi; one. and the rest can be counted on the lingers of one hand. When he finally decided to resort to glasses. “Chick" confessed that is seemed ?o him like a last resort. “I’ll try them for a season, and then if I can’t make good I'll get out and admit I’m licked,” he said early this year. From the way he has started. he ( apparently will make good, and his, return to form may mean big things I for the National league champions, i Hafey has had hard luck practically ever since he came up to the majors, although he has been recognized as one of the best outfielders in the game. He is a native of Berkeley, California, Helen Wills’ home town, i and is 26 years old. Watching The Scoreboard (By United Press) Yesterday’s hero: Chick Hafey, the young man who had so much trouble ' with his eyesight that he finally took to wearing Yesterday he hit his second and third home runs of the season as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Cincinnati Reds, 9 to 4.

SPEAKING OF BY FRANK GETTY

The Three Musketeers (Tom McArdle, matchmaker of Ma- \ dison Square Garden, announces that I the heavyweight field has been reduc-1 ed to three championship contenders | —Paulino, Max Schmeling and Jack Sharkey. —News Item We're Paulino and Sharkey and Schmeling. Our prowess the ballyhoo’s telling. On the crest of the tide (With George Fodfrey outside) And the tickets all ready for selling O, Paulino and Schmeling and Sharkey No wonder we're feeling so larky. Tho’ the fans call us punk, We've come out of our funk. We at least, needn’t fight that big darkey. By indisputable logic, the heavyweigth lists have been closed to the most logical of the contenders. The field is left to Sharkey, Schmeling and Paulino, and George Godfrey, who probably could, if aroused, whip all three in the same evening, is not to be considered by the powers that be in Madison Square Garden's select cauliflower patch. While holding no brief for mixed bouts as a matter of principle, in view of certain distressing incidents in the past, it seems to me that the situation Ray Miller's kindly gentleness towards provides an excellent opportunity for Jack Dempsey and Humbert J. Fugazv to come forward and give Godfrey his chance. The theory that the heavyweight championship should go to a man who

The Cubs and Pirates were idle because of rain. "Mule” Haus lost two balls in the sun at Yankee stadium and the world’s champions counted twice to win the opener from the Athletics, 2 to 1, aftet a splendid pitching duel between old Jack Quinn ami young i Waite Hoyt. “Firpo" Matberry pitched the Washington Senators to their first victory of the year, the Boston Red Sox being the vk-tims on the short end of a 3 to 1 score. After losing three games in a row to the St. Louis Browns, the Chicago White Sox figured out a double steal in the ninth, and won a game from Dan Howley's hopefuls, 5 to 4. (’rouse and Metzler hit homers in the eighth, after Coffman had held the Sox scoreless ■ until that session. Vie Sorrell weakened in the sixth and seventh inning-, after pitching effectively, and the Cleveland Indians came from behind to make it three ou’ of four from th t > Tigers by the score of 7 to 4. o STANDINGS National League W L Pet Boston ? 3 0 1000 New York 2 0 100 C St. Louis 3 1 .75(1 Chicago 2 1 .667 Pittsburgh 1 2 .333 Cincinnati 1 3 .250 Philadelphia 0 2 .000 Brooklyn 0 3 .000 American League W L Pct New York ... 2 0 1000 St. Louis 3 1 .750 Cleveland .. 3 1 .750 Philadelphia 2 1 .667 Washington 1 2 .333 Detroit 1 3 .259 Chicago ... 1 3 .250 Boston ... 0 2 .000 American Association W L Pct Indianapolis 4 0 1000 Kansas City 4 0 1000 Minneapolis 3 1 .750 Toledo 2 2 .500 St. Paul 2 2 .500 Columbus . < 1 3 .250’ Milwaukee 0 4 .000 Louisville 0 4 .000 Yesterday’s Results National League Boston 6-5; Brooklyn 5-1.

can meet the approval of a college class in Shakespeare or a society debt at Newport has actually made sonr headway. Quite unconsciously, man_> fans have Anne to accept, it. If you accused them of this, they would deny it vehemently, but it’s a fact. The best fighter of the moment is George Godfrey. But keep him comparably idle long enough and the chances are that eh will blow up some day as his predeqessr in the black menace business did. Odds and Ends The New York Yankees went into the- current pennant race even money favorites for the third consecutive time. But it is only four seasons since they finished up a badly beaten 20 to 1 shot. It took some time, but Lester ZifJimmy Mclarnin on the occasion of their recent waltz in Madison Square fern, U. P. corretyxmdent in Rio de Janerio, finally exposes the reason for real name is Reuben, got his start is a Boy Scout in Troop No. 12 at Rock Island, and probably was doing his good for the day. Jeff Dixon, an American pbromoter in Paris who aspires to be known as the "Tex Rickard of Europe." has made another promising match which may take another world's championship away from this country if it goes through. Dixon has matched Al Brown recognized as bantam king by the N. B. A., to fight Kid Francis >f Italy in Paris May 16 with the title at stake.
