ATHLETICS STAY IN LEAGUE LEAD Rally In Eighth To Beat Detroit; Pirates, l ards Win New York, May 19 iU.R) The Philadelphia Athletics have ceased to be a joke. The team that lost 100 games last season and finished in the cellar, hangs on to the American league lead with grim seriousness. Twice in the past two days the Athletics were licked going into the ninth. On Monday they came from behind to score two runs and whip the world champion Yankees, 3-2. Yesterday, they staged another eighth inning uprising to score three runs and pluck an 8-7 victory from Detroit. It was the fourth straight victory for the A's •ver the Tigers. * One of 74-year-old Connie Mack's rookies yelled at Manager Mickey Cochrane from the dugout : "Iley, Mickey, don't you wish you were hack catching for Phila delphta?" That crack seems to have sized up the situation from all angles. The A s are clicking on all cylinders and making the rhost of their opportunities. The Tigers are floundering badly, playing only at a .500 gait. Detroit led 7-5 when the A’s came to bat in the eighth. Eldon Anker walked Marty Peters, hit Wally Moses with a pitched ball and then he fanned Bon Johnson. But Alfred Lovill (Chubby i Dean (no relation to Dizzy) hit a home run over the right field fence, and that punch decided the game. Frank Hayes.

Pate, nonplaying captain of America's, international side. The same witnesses also told me that the Messrs. Budge and Mako meekly took the scolding j from their tennis "pater" and, I with reddened ears and faces, apologised for requiring nine days ; to cross the country by automo- ! bile. I am sorry the Californians did this . I wish they had told Mr Pate, with his first cross word, to go chase himself a few lobs and cross-court volleys. In my opinion —and seldom is it wrong, in my opinion—a strict amateur is his own boss and. if under age. accountable only to bis parents In theory, he plays for the love of the game only and it is his i rerogative to play the game when and as he sees fit. I wish the Messrs. Budge and Mako, after suggesting to Mr Pate that he chase a few lobs, had told him they didn't care to be placed on the same exacting schedule as professionals, and were sure that the United States lawn tennis association felt the same way about it. Certainly the U S I T.A. must feel that way, because it throws up its petticoats in horror every time the word “professional" is mentioned. It frowns darkly on the idea of an open tournament, and only recently refused a member club the right to have professionals give an exhibition on its grounds. Just what Mr. Pate would have done had Budge and Mako balked at criticism. I don't know. 1 am sure he would have thought twice before firing them off the lean a

They stay away from ■such things in large and imposing numbers.

Budge and Mako will make tennis organizations thousands and thousands of dollars this year. If by chance, they win the Davis cup from England, the two boys will automatically become be-flanneled gold mines. And there will b° plenty of diggers. And what will they get out of it? A pantry full of assorted silver pickle bowls and a head full of temporary glory. To make it a fair exchange I believe they should have the right to take fifteen days to cross the country, and tell Mr. Pate and his associates to — well, this is a family press association.

BROWN RESIGNS AS SUPERVISOR W. Guy Brown Unable To Fill Position At Swimming Pool The resignation of W. Guy Brown as supervisor of the municipal swimming pool at the water works park was accepted at the regular meeting of the city council Tuesday night. Mr. Brown stated in his resignation that the acceptance of a teaching post at the Indiana State Teachers' college in Terre Haute this summer will make it impossible for him to direct the activities at the pool.

Two applications for women’s supervisor of the pool were .tiled One was submitted by Mrs. Emil C. Outland, who stated she is a certified Red Cross life saver and is an experienced swimmer. The other was tiled by Miss Olennys Elzey, who held th positTOn last year. It was reported that one or two applications for supervisor of the pool have been filed informally with members of the board. It was voted to turn the matter of opening the pool and letting contracts for the positions of supervisors to the board of public works and safety. It is customary to open the pool as soon after the closing of school as the weather permits. At the present the city light plant is using the pool to cool the water forth turbines ae the regular pool for this purpose has sprung a leak. M. F. Mylott, superintendent of the city light and power plant, stated the swimming pool would he available in a few weeks. The matter of improving Maple street in front of the bath house at the pool was brought up by Herman Gillig, chairman of the street committee. He recommended the street be paved with bla’k top and a curb be installed on the south side of the street. CHARGES STEEL (CONTINT'FT.
