B illy Evans Says
Take nothing for granted In baseball is an excellent theory to at all time follow. • • • Events In the baseball world during the past few weeks have certainly borne out the truth of that adage. • • • Within ten days' time some very remarkable feats have been performed In the major leagues. As Is usually the case, the record-breaking performances came in bunches. • • Os course the most notable feat was the pitching of a no-run, no hit. not a man reach first game by Charlie Robertson of the Chicago White So*. I was one of the umpires in this game, and I regret very much that Robertson's honors were slightly dimmed by the accusation that he tampered with the ball. * • • Boberteon’s victory wae clean cut. The fact that the recruit performed It against Detroit, one of the hard-est-hitting elohs ,i the history of the game, made It all tju more noteworthy. •• • v Robertson nsed a fast b.yl with great success, mixing in a slow ruyve and a nice rhange of pace. His control , was perfect. Oonly two batters who faced him worked the count to three balls. • • • Shortly after this game, Rhrlrer. a recruit pitcher working for Brooklyn, scored a shutout in his first maj< r league start, and allowed only two hits. That la a record few recruits make 1a their ■ajar league debut. \

Barnes eame mighty close to equaling Robertson’s record. Only one man reached first base.

SCHAEFFER IN LEAD AT START Champ and Challenger Both Nervous in First Block of Billiard Match. By ED VI". SMITH. CHICAGO, May 17.- Starting off with the frayed nerves of a rank amateur and finishing with the courage aud speed of a Morvich, Jake Schaeller, talk line champion of the world, finished 79 points ahead of Welker Cochran, challenger for the title, in the first night's block of 500 points here last night. It was not a brilliant exhibition of the balk line game, the winner averaging a mere 33 aud something like a third, and the loser falling down to 2s. At one time these figures would have denoted h real champion but since we've had averages of over 200 and commonly, too, a thing like that of last night doesn't appeal to those who expect the highest at ail times. But these hitter young gentlemen, who cordially dislike each other because of some business differences a year ago, were so eager to show each other up tnai neither could play a lb k at the start. Both wabbled at the start aud despite the fact that Cochran made a 72 and Schaeffer a 71) In the second inning it wasn't a good display of the great bail to ball game, both forcing themselves to go after the toughest kind of shots frequently Cochran seemed to settle quicker than his lengthy opponent nnd in the third inning cracked off a successful 94. Then for the next seven Innings both of them were shooting at the moon Steadily Cochran wout Into the lead ami in twelve inings had the score 248 to 138, 110 to the good. .lake shook himself together at that stage and in the thirteenth cracked off 262 points, falling down finally on an rosy one. Then they see sawed along. Welker got going ami nailed 97 caroms before he tripped on a simple three rush ion. This gave him the lead but the champion caught the fever and ran the tame out with some great billiards, for the first time showing his teeth and hi* skill at the same time. Schaeffer has the balls In a beautiful position at the top rail for the start of the second block tonight. Cards Take College Stars ST. LOUIS. Mny 17.—.

Week ||i|jn Editorial "Whatever eomes out of the cost, must go out of the quality. # There is a danger line in price to which we can not descend. Strauss clothes, because of their tailored-in goodness, are the lowest priced in the long run. They wear out slowly and gracefully—they are smart and shapely as long as the woolens hold together. To try to get something for nothing is to engage in the futile sport of chasing rainbows! The elation of an apparent saving is soon faded —the suit quickly becomes shapeless—its career is brief and inglorious—the money spent is gone with little to show for it. It lacked the vital element of tailoring.
