Sprinz Surprises Weak batting has been handicapping the Betzelites, but there are some encouraging signs and Boss Betzel believes his hirelings are due to get some runs. Joe Sprinz has surprised everybody with his stick work and is swatting the sphere above the .300 mark.

Worth His Purchase

IT IS said by smart baseball men that Dick Ferrell, young catcher with the St. Louis Browns, is one of the best young catchers to hit the major leagues in years. Ferrell was with Columbus in the American Association last season and sold himself to the Browns after he was made a free agent by Judge Landis when the Giants and Tigers got into a fuss about their rights to him. The Browns gave him $25,000 to sign and they say he is worth every penny of it.

Pirates Edge Out in Front of Hot Race Ownie Bush Drives Pittsburgh Club Into National Lead. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY T'nited Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. May 30.—Memorial day leaders ofterf are pennant winners and baseball fans today speculated over a possible all-Pennsyl-vania world series between the Philadelphia Athletics and Pittsburgh Pirates. The Athletics’ hold a three and one-half game lead over the St. Louis Browns in the American League and the Pirates, in first pla/e for the first time since 1927. hold a game lead over the Chicago Cubs in the National League. The club which has shown the most improvement over last season's standing at this date is the Phillies. They were m last place a year ago with a percentage of .189, while today finds them in fourth place with a percentage of .515 —an improvement of .326 points. The phenomenal rise of Pittsburgh from a tie for sixth place to the National League lead during May has baseball fans wondering if the Pirates can stand the pace. It was only a few weeks ago that Ownie Bush was in the market for a, shortstop, but the Pittsburgh infield seems to be holding up fairly well now with Sheely, Grantham and Traynor on the bases and Bartell at shortstop. The Pirates' place in the race probably will depend on the infield and their young pitchers, French, Brame apd Swetonic. In the east the impression prevails among many smart baseball men that the Cardinals. 1928 champions. will be the team to beat to win the National League pennant. About all that can be said about the American League race is. “How are you going to stop the Athletics?” The Browns' strong pitching and tight defense needs punch to help out. The Yankees are having all kinds of trouble in the infield and with their pitchers. The Tigers have Uhle and a gang of hardhitters. but little else can be said about them unless Bucky Harris performs a miracle.

Rockne Predicts Strong Eleven at Notre Dame Bu 7 imrs Blirriul NEW YORK. May 30.—Notre Dame is going to have a tolerable football team this fall, according to Knute Rockne, the celebrated coach of the squad. The Rock spoke to the New York alumni of the university a few days ago and he spoke with more optimism than he did a year ago. One year ago he said he was going to have a bad ball club and that he would lose at least half the games on the schedule. And he did have a bad season. "Well be there next fall.” he told the New York alumni. "I might amend that and say that we'll be there next fall if I can speak enough languages. It took me five years to learn how to speak Irish, and now there are no boys on the squad who can understand Irish.”

E,u Times Six rial CHICAGO, May 30.—Eleven of the fifteen individual champions of the National collegiate track and field meet of 1928 will return this year to the eighth annual meet to defend their titles. The championships will be held on Stagg Field, June 7 and 8. One world's record was made, seven new meet records established, and two tied in the 1928 meet, but the defending champions, despite their excellent performances last year, will have a hard time retaining their honors.

Virgil Gist of Chicago, champion in the 880-yard run. will be among those present this year, and has an excellent chance of repeating, although he probably will have to better his time of 1:54 2-5 to do so. Rufus Kiser. University of Washington miler who won in 4:17 3-5 last year, faces a lot of fast competition this time.

Steve Anderson of the University of Washington looms up as the biggest obstacle in Kan’s path. Dave Abbott of the. University of Illinois in the two-mile run looms up as the most likely 1928 winner to retain his title. His best time of the year is 9:26.4. Kctz Improves Wilfred Ketz of Michigan, who won the hammer throwing title with 163 feet 8 inches, is even improving on that: distance this year, for he has done 165 feet 10 inches.
