Playing the Field - —With Billy Evans———

—n KEEN mind has helped Ty Cobb over many a rough spot in his career, on and off the ball field. Perhaps no player in the history of the game has been the subject of more comment from the fans, com-

plimentary and otherwise. Always colorful, Cobb either has the fans cheering or jeering him. The cheers come as the result of some sensational play, the jeers when the opposing pitcher strikes him out or makes him pop out.

Evans

Cobb always has given and taken and seldom has he failed to have at his tongue's end the retort courteous for the fan who seeks to best him in a battle of repartee. That also goes for the opposing players. Malting his debut in Boston this year, Cobb practically singlehanded won the first game of the Red Sox series. He was the big noise cf the day. PILLS RETORT COURTEOUS '—-i LL he did during the afterA noon's play was make three timely hits, steal a couple of bases, one of them a theft oUhome, and made several brilliant plays afield, ending the contest with an unassisted double play frjom right field. The following day, in his first trip to the plate, he hit into a double play on an attempted hit and run. Despite a desperate slide into first base, Cobb was doubled on a close decision. The substitutes on the Boston bench made plenty of "hip” “hip” “hurray” over the happening. "You're slowing up, Ty,” remarked one of the Red Sox bushers. "Possibly,” he replied, “but I’m still so good you boys hold, a celebration on the bench when you get me out.” Even Manager Bill Carrigan smiled when Cobb pulled that fast one at the expense of his wisecracking rookie. BAD PAIR OF DOGS EARD a funny one the other Hi I * s wortll repeating, ■ * i even though it was pulled at the expense of one of the best umpires in the majors. This particular umpire has a rather peculiar walk that causes one to believe him tough, atways looking for trouble. Such is far from the case. It seems a certain foot trouble is much the cause of the pugilistic walk rather than any desire to be rated as tough. In a regent game, the umpire happened to pull a decision that didn’t please the home folks and finally resulted in one of the players getting the gate. The dispute "tended, the umpire , walked back to his position at first base in his usual manner, when a fan with a loud voice piped: “You’re not so tough, fellow. It’s just a bad pair of dogs that make you walk that way.” Players and umpires, as well as fans, roared at the wise crack because the fan unknowingly had hit the nail on the head.

NOONAN IN K. I. O. VICTORY Johnny Hurls Good Ball for Merits —Black Leads at Bat. Good pitching by Johnny Noonan and a strong attack combined to give the Merits their second K. I. O. League victory at Pennsy Park Sunday before a crowd of 500. The field was muddy, but the locals made only two miscues and annexed the contest in a decisive manner, 3 to 3. The Hostess Cakes of Cincinnati were the victims. Black, first baseman, smote a double and two singles to lead the Merits at bttt. He also walked once and got a sacrifice hit, which gave him a perfect record for the day. His fielding at first also was of class. Nod'nan wavered slightly in the opening round, but after that stanza he was master of the situation until the eighth. A Cincinnati rally got two runs in tW&i inning. In the ninth, however, Noonan again tightened and fanned two pinch hitters. The fielding of Shafer, Black, Queisser and Noonan was outstanding for the Merits and Grassmiger and McKean starred for the visitors. Some snappy baseball was staged despite the rain-coaked field. The visitors were not good mud horses and made ’fave eiTors. The strong Oakley Club nine of Cincinnati will battle the Merits at Pennsy Park next Sunday. Yesterday’s box score: Hoste/s.

Whitney Entry Gets Bulk of Support From Turf Dopesters. w SCAPA FLOW POPULAR Many Horses of Quality in Historic Event. Bu United Press PIMLICO RACETRACK. BALTIMORE, May 9.—Overcast skies with a threat of rain greeted the thousands or race followers gathered today for the 37th running of the $50,000 Preakness stakes. The weather was expected to make no difference to the 35,000 or more who were expected to crowd the hilltop this afternoon, however. The quality of the three-year-olds who competed was doped to make the race one of the most interesting in years. The Whitney entry of Whisktery, Bostonian and Pandora got the bulk of public support and was installed favorite, although the loyal Marylanders leaned heavily toward W. M. Jeffords' Man O'War colt, Scapa Flow. Distance Influences Betting The heavy betting was on those two. There has been so much talk of Scapa Flow’s supposed inability to do his best at the Preakness distance —a mile and three-sixteenths —that the odds were influenced to some extent. Whiskery garve every evidence of being a distance runner when he galloped home five lengths ahead in the Chesapeake Stake at Havre De Grace recently with plenty of speed to spare after going a mile and a sixteenth. Thirteen colts and two fillies were listed to start, most of them of such quality that few scratches were expected. The only ones given little chance by the handicappers were Skeddaddle and the H. T. Archibald entry of Candy Hog and Crystal Domino. * Among Others Opinion on the othei-s was fairly well divided. The Seagram Stable figured it had a sleeper in Sir Harry, winner of the Coffroth Handicap. Walter J. Salmon, who is developing a penchant for Preakness upsets, had a speedy colt jn Black Panther, believed to be a stayer. Clyde Phillips, ti-ainer of the Greentree Stable, thought of Saxon. Fair Star, the Foxcatcher filly, ran a good race behind Pandera in the Pimlico Oaks. A. G. Weston’s Jopagan has been a' disappointment recently, but a heavy track would improve his chances. E. R. Bradley sent Buddy Bauer, not regarded as good a horse as his Bewitlius. r Jopagan is the only horse in the race whose owner is not independently wealthy. Shift in Riders James Rowe, trainer for Whitney, made a last-hour shift in ridei-s and announced the riding star, Clarence Kummer, would have the mount on Whiskery instead of Schaefer, who was to be put on Pandera. v Frank Coltiletti was to ride Scapa Flow. Whitney had the edge with his three formidable starters. The race was to be off between 4 and 4:1*) p. m., eastern standard time.

good record, which includes knockout victories over Terry McMullen, Johnny Papke. Bill Clemmons, Johnny Klesch, Joe Jackson, Tommy Herman, Pat Travis and Sailor Jack Thompson. Among the pugs whom Sekyra has outpointed are Billy Britton, Johnny Mack (three times). Bumbo Meyers, Tut Jackson, Marty Reese, Nick Newman, Pal Reed, Bryan Downey and Chief John Metoquah. Metoquah was beaten twice by Sekyra, once in eight rounds and again in ten.

Flint Rhem, Card pitcher, was a "co-hero," holding Brooklyn to 2 hits. The score was 5 to 1. Eddie Collins’ fumble was a contributing factor to Cleveland's 4 to 2 victory over Philadelphia. \ * * Although the Senators hit the hall farther and oftener, four,_Washington pitchers allowed six bases on balls and eight hits, giving St. Louis the game S to 3.

w'jOME one slipped up on their j j duties and the junior golf l j school at Highland Saturday morning was only fairly attended. Chuck Garringer said the fellow who sends out the Highland Golf-O-Gram is responsible. The ones who had heard of the affair by word of mouth had their youngsters on hand and they gained a world of good from the two instructors, Neal Mclntyre and Garringer. The tutors agreed to cover the same field again next Saturday and in the meantime the Golf-O-Gram man will have a fine announcement to make. Jammed, (lacked, filled to capacity. That was the story at the golf courses Saturday. The early birds Sunday received a drenching and ; the ones who were scheduled to start later, held back. However, when Old Sol peeped through the clouds before noon, the golf bug began to sting und it was not long i until there was a waiting list at j all the courses. The Pleasant Run blind par tour- ■ nament went off on schedule. A | large field was out and some low I scores turned In when 81 was drawn ; from the hat, as blind par, three j voices rose from the crowd In unison | and said: "I win.” John Draper, . Thomas Smith and John Nickel | were the winners. Don Munro had IS2 and fivo tied with 83. They were XV. P. Ray, Charles Spotts, R. Wenzel, W. H. Langmaid and H. Fittz. There is nte way to learn the conI dition of the course any better than to play it, said Fosdick Goodrich, pro at Pleasant Run, and Herman Uebele, course manager. To get the patron side of the argument, they took Ed Dallman along Sunday and the trio* did not keep score, just looked. It has reached this desk from numerous sources that Pleasant Run is in better shape now than it was at any time last year. And, R. Walter Jarvis, superintendent of parks, said they are not through, either. Jack Holliday won the week-end sweepstake matches at the Indianfcnolis Country Club Saturday.

Daughter.: of both men joined Dick Nelson's golf lesson class the past week. The Kiwanis Club will hold a club tournament at Meridian Hills on Tuesday. The boys who have been shooting ‘he Highh nd course in the 70s all tpring do not seem to weaken, and the spring handicap tournament that is under way finds many such scores on the board after every round. Play, ing Highland in the 70s is no trick. The reason we say that is because last summer during the Western Open tourney held over that course, won by Walter Hagen, and in which the best of players participated, we remember many scores well over 100. Some time ago a couple of Dayton men said the greeens on the last nine at Broadmoor Country club course were the best they ever had seen.' And to prove that you can putt on them was shown Sunday when George Soutar, club pro., turned in a 32 for the nine. Rain failed to dampen the spirit at the Avalon course Sunday and those who were out early kept on playing, ©thers continued to arrive and there was not a lull at the starting tee.

All the women are invited to be on hand at 9 o'clock at the first tee. HUNTER DEFEATED Bu United Press BERLIN, May 9.—Francis Hunter, American teammate of William T.

Bruno Betzel had his Indians In Milwaukee today to open a fourgame series with the Brewers and the Tribesman were pulling hard for action. They haven't played since Friday owing to the heavy showers in Kansas City during their visit to Kawtown. Three of the four Tribe-Blue contests were postponed, making a total of eight postponements for the Indians since the season opened. It has been a tremendous expense'Xo Owner Smith—transportation, hotel bills and salaries going on without a dime coming in. But there is something unusual about everything. The Tribe was in a tie with Toledo this morning for second place and only one-half game out of first position, a situation brought about by other teams cutting each other's throat while the Indians were held idle by rain. And there Is ,-i chance for the Betzelites to be in the league lead tonight, providing they defeated Milwaukee today and if Minneapolis downed Toledo and Columbus beat St. Paul. . The Trihesnien did not throw a ball over the week-end. A rain of the flood variety struck Kansas City Saturday and endeavored to float part of the town away. It prevented a Saturday contest and put the K. C. grounds out of commission for Sunday.
