Form Beginning to Set Pennant Contenders Into Natural Positions. By Henry L. Farrell United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 17.—As the second month of the major league pennant races gets under way, form is beginning to set the entries into their natural positions. With the exception of the Cincinnati Reds, victims of an unexpected collapse, the teams in the National League are running true to form. The National League race seems to be between New York, Pittsburgh and St. Louis, with the Giants favorites. The real class of McGraw’s team has been shown in the first intersectional skirmishes against the strong Western clubs, in which the Giants looked even better than- they did against the weaker Eastern teams earlier in the season. The development of the New York pitching staff has been one of the features of the spring. As long as the pitclieirs hold their present form the club has everything a championship team needs. Reds Get Bad Breaks The Cincinnati club is not normally a last place club. Its position is due to bad breaks and the collapse of a formidable pitching staff. Jack Hendricks feels that his club will snap out of it, hut the snapping will have to be done quickly to be effective. The Pirates are getting settled on their normal gait, with the pitchers improving. The Cardinals have been getting the best pitching in the league, but their pitchers can’t be expected to retain the same form all season. The fielding defense of the club is weak in spots. American League managers arc almost unanimous in the belief that nothing hut a train wreck can keep the New York Yankees out of the world series. The Yankees have the most powerful attack in the major leagues. It is a hustling young club, full of fight. Sox Team Smart The Chicago White Sox seem better placed than they deserve, but the team is smart and is getting good pitching. The Washington Senators are not in their proper place, but they have been having pitching trouble and Infield difficulties. When Walter Johnson is able to return to regular duty the club ought to do better, but it is losing valuable ground. The Cleveland Indians have been tiie big disappointment in the American League, as their powerful pitching staff has gone to pieces much as that of the Cincinnati Reds. The Detroit Tigers look like contenders, but too much should not be expected of the St. Louis Browns, as Dan Howley, manager, admits he has no higher ambition for the year than to finish in the first division.

May Succeed Harris

tris i SPEAKER? Vs W ■#;

One hears the rumor that Tris Speaker, pictured above, will be tlie next manager of the Washington Senators, to succeed Stanley Harris when the latter's present contract expires a year front now. This may seem a bit far-fetched at this time, but it certainly is a good bet for the future books. Speaker is hardly averse to taking charge of a major league club again, his work at Cleveland having been very interesting to him. Harris, on the other Itand, lias not entirely satisfied Owner Clark Griffith in his handling of the club, according to the same rumor. Just what will happen remains to be seep.

JONES RULES FAVORITE TO WIN U. S. OPEN CROWN Cold Statistics Tell Story of Inhuman Consistency—Oak- * mont Competition Expected to Be Strong,

By Jimmy Powers NEA Service Sports Writer NEW YORK, May 17.—Before a single shot is fired at Oakmont, scene of the United States opetj tournament this June. Bobby Jones will rule a favorite against the field. The odds in this mos. variable of games should be 10 to 1 against Bobby, but they won't be. There are other dangerous men. There is Walter Hagen, if anybody should ask you. Jones is the antithesis of Hagen., Where Walter is the colorful showman. the D'Artagnan of the links, alternately brilliant and mediocre, always intensely human —Bobby is the merciless impersonal machine, grinding out par figures like an automaton. Worries Over Game That is the Jones brand of golf, we are speaking of. not Jones the man. It is Bobby who walks up and down in his carpet slippers the night of a championship, smoking innumerable eigarets. It is Bobby who squirms inwardly when he dubs a shot. It is Bobby who cannot forget his mistakes, but must play a hole over and over again in his mind when he should be sleeping. Hagen will make a greater percentage of sour shots in a given round than most of his brother stars, but he has the priceless mental gift of being able to forget said shots as soon as he makes them and concentrate on getting out superbly, which he does quite often enough to stay on top of the heap. Then there are tile Messrs. Duncan and Mitchell. Yet to Produce Form They have yet to produce their true form in the national open. The heat wilts them. They cook to a crisp in their woolen jackets, but if they strip sleeves they feel, as one expert has expressed it. like a polar bear in Siam. What price an English golfer without his coat? And then there is the bouncing little barrister, Bobby Cruickshank. Oh. it's a pleasure to 'watch him send a long iron screaming straight to the pin or stand by as he takes out & great driver, almost as tall as himself and whip a long drive off the tee. The pint sized thistle will be a ver’, ver’ dangerous rhon, don't ye forget it. And there is also the tense, introspective Leo Diegel, wlio seems to be unable to conquer his twitching nerves. He can play like a Vardon until the reflection of championship silver, just within Ills reach, dazzles

him. Then his fingers become overeager and his game collapses like a deck of cards. But of them all, there s Bobby and the odds. If Bob doesn't win at Oakmont, he ought to be among the first five. You can't go back pf his record—first at Scioto. 19*6; second at Worcester, 1925; second at Oakmont Hills, 1924: first at Inwood, 1923; second at Skokie. 1922.

Hi. I nilrd Press Harold Wiltse, young left handed pitcher of the Boston Red Sox. was l knocked down by a vicious line ! • drive from Bib Falk's bat, but 1 picked up the ball and threw Falk 1 out at first base before he was j carried from the field unconscious.
