CARDS CLIMB IN NATIONAL AND SENATORS CROWD MACKS IN AMERICAN
Pilots Team Toward First Division—Athletics Strike Slump and Washington Makes Gain. By Henry Farrell ffi; } Jfc ®'j United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 15.—Standing of the clubs in the National League begins to look more natural as they pass the first landmark of the season. Excess baggage must be cast out of the big leagues today when the rules force the clubs to get down
to the twenty-five-player limit. Although they have been wrecked by Injuries, the New York Giants are holding a lead of four ,and a half games over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Brooklyn Robins, lacking the pitching that held the team In the race last season, are slumping and In danger of losing a place In the first division. The Phillies dropped down to where they belong after a spurt in the first division. Chief Interest In the National League now centers around the St. Louis Cardinals, which have been turned into a winning combination by the brUllant Rogers Hornsby, who Is showing himself to be a skillful manager as well as a star field mechanic. Hornsby, in two weeks, has moved the St. Louis club from the hole up to a striking position at the first division. The slipping of the Philadelphia was the feature of the in the American League. The hitting of the club has fallen off and Mack needs more pitchers. Sammy Gray, the star pitcher, may be out for another month with a broken hand and the staff, without him, is being overworked. The champion Washington Senators are within half a game of first place and they are moving along a.t an easy gait. Steady pitching by Johnson, Coveleskie, Reuther and Zachary have the Senators in a very comfortable position. ADD HONORS i Gray and Phillips Win in National Meet. Gray and Phillips of Butler were back home today with more honors added to their imposing list of track triumphs. The two local cinder kings won their respective specialties at the national collegiate meet at Chicago, Saturday.

Tho meet was featured by the world record leap of De Hart Hubgreat colored athlete, who Himped 25 feet, 10% inches.

INDIANS FAIL TO SCORE IN WEEK-END BATTLES Tribe Goes Two Days Without Runs St. Paul Opens Series by Annexing Shutout. The Indians didn’t do very well over the week-end. Fact °f the matter they were a total blank. Shut out by Minneapolis Saturday, 2 to 0, they faced the St. Paul Saints in a series opener Sunday find again failed to cross the plate, the visitors winning, 3to 0. About 5,400 fans saw the home boys disgraced Sunday.
McGraw of the Millers blanked the Tribesmen Saturday, and in the first clash with the Saints Sunday Roettger was the pitcher to hand out the calcimine. Henry pitched fine ball Saturday, only to lose, and Burwell turned in a good game Sun day, only to lose. “He pitched a good game, but lost,” Is becoming a frequent expression at the ball park. The Tribe twirlers get ou tthere and shine, but the help they get from their mates Is not anything to cheer about. Three Scattered Blows The Hoosiers got only three hits off Roettger Sunday, one safety In the third inning, one in the fourth and one in the ninth. It looks as though the home athletes just simply are a minus quantity with the bat. Wid Matthews, outfielder purchased Friday, was due to join the team today and it was hoped his presence would help matters. He was to play center field today if he reached the park in time to don a uniform. Fred Fitzsimmons was slated to pitch today with Robertson behind the bat. Danny Boone, veteran inflelder of the Saints, was struck on the head by a pitched ball In the sixth inning Sunday and was carried from the field. He was taken to Methodist Hospital, where it was said today his condition was gooa. Boone was falling away from the ball when struck, and some oi' the sting was taken off the pitch. He received a terrific rap, however, and players and fans feared at the time of the accident that he was injured seriously. When Saints Sot'red The Saints scored their three markers in the seventh. Haas started the rally with a single and Collins followed one-base knock to left. Haas stopping at sect nd. The “break” of the game occurred a moment later when Krueger threw high to second trying to trap Haas, and Haas went to third and Collins to second. Morse sent a short fly to Allen, the runners holding their bases. Wade batted for Mollwitz and was passed intentionally, filling the bases. Burwell cut loose with a law' 'ball and it struck the ground for a wild pitch and Haas scored and Collins and Wade moved up. Roettger hit half-speed grounder toward third and Voter stabbed at the ball, but missed. The Tribe third sacker was too eager to make a throwhome and failed to Judge properly the hop of the bounder. Collins and Wade both counted on the freak Roettger infield hit. Christensen singled, but Odom and Durst were retired without further scoring on the part of the Saints. They didn't need more runs. Roettger had the Indians dazzled. HORSESHOE LOOP GAMES Leading Prestos Meet Van Camps, Tail-Enders, in Matches Tonight.

WHICH WON? Balloonists Dispute Ruling in Gordon Bennet Race. ku Times Special VIGO, Spain, June 15.—The crew of the Belgian balloon, Prince Leopold, has refused to accept the decision of the Judges of the Gordon Bennett races, who gave the cup to the pilots of the Belgtca because the Prince Leopold landed in the sea. Ths Prince Leopold’s crew, which was picked up by a steamer near Cardona, has gone to Camarinas, a village in Spain, to secure a certificate, which it claims will show that the Leopold attempted to land there, but was prevented by a strong wind which blew it out over the ocean. This certificate, they contend, will prove that their bag covered a greater distance than the other Belgian entry.

He played a spectacular game here Sunday and got one solid hit to center. He looks like the class. Walter Christensen, star fly chaser of the Saints, gave the fans something to applaud for Sunday, when he dashed in. out and sideways to handle six putouta. He made brilliant catches of drives poled by Rehf. Krueger and Schraandt. And he got two hits and sacrificed once. If we ha da few hitters we would have a good ball club. The Tribe plays an interesting game, but is so weak at the plate the fan# are having dlfficuty trying to find something to enthuse over. Pst Collins.

Bv United Press ALTOONA, Pa., June 15.—Following the claim of Frank Elliott for first place in Saturday's speedway race here, a re-check of the sheets by the officials late Sunday night showed Peter De Paolo had won, with Elliott second, Milton third and Harry Hartz, fourth. Starter Fred Wagner announced that four separate sets of scorers kept track of the cars and that in the closing laps the No. 1 set became confused and announced Milton as winner. When Elliott made his protest figures were rechecked and all scorers agreed that De Paolo was first. Milton was credited with a lap that should have gone to Elliott. The victory probably will give De Paolo the 1925 championship. De Paolo will enter the Grand Prix at Vernair, Belgium early next month.

GOLF DUFFERS YELL AT NEW RULING ON COAST Frisco Discriminates Against Dubs on Latest Course — Must Qualify—Same System Mentioned Here. Bv Times Special SAN FRANCISCO, June 15.—San Francisco is progressive. It proposes to discriminate against duffer golfers. The leg-weary duffer who has been tearing up the turf on the municipal course at Lincoln Park has another worry. They won’t let him play on the new Harding memorial city links unless he shows he can club his way around the eighteen holes in something under 100.
Th© century mark may hold few terrors for many golfers. But a big percentage of the L'ncoln Park enthusiasts who bolt . teir breakfasts to get in a round of golf before office hours, count P an epochal day when their score cards remain In .wo figures. The thought of propelling the white pellet down fairway and over sand, or pursuing It In forest and glade and finally emerging triumphantly at the home hoi© with a tally which could not b© mistaken for a telephone number, is to them of enough Importance to make a mere business deal dwindle to Insignificance. Buslneefl Angle Th© business angle to th© game has started some ugly whisperings. There are those who feel that big business heads, aroused by tho faraway look In employes’ eyes on sunny afternoons, have more than a little to do with th© ruling against duffers. Golf, while conducive to good health, does not build up business In the common run of things. If they hoped by this method to make duffers forsake golf they took the wrong road. For the divot-dig-ging brigade has organized to gain entrance to the new Harding course ami they mean to do It at the expense of department heads, big bosses or anything else that stands In the way. Golfers Determined "It’s very simple,” said- one chunky business man as he finished a sum in arithmetic at the eighteenth green to find that he'd toured Lin-
coln Park In 104. “If we can’t get ’em to take back this foolish qualifying rule, we'll play their game and qualify.” He explained that “some of the boys" were signing up with professionals who guaranteed to coach duffers until they qualified on a “money-bark-ls-you-don't” basis. SOUTH GROVE PLAN Talk Here of Beginner’s Course On V'Meh to I/earn Game. There has been some talk of the same Idea in Indianapolis. Many who play on South Grove course have complained of the lack of golf etiquette of beginners and the manner in which they hold up the game of those following. It has been suggested that a beginners’ nine-hole course be established on the grounds owned by the Indianapolis Water Company just east of South Grove. The plan would keep those who are Just taking up the game from playing on the regular South Grove course until they had qualified with a certain number of strokes on the beginners’ course.
