Ask me. I know. But when you get * three on one club, —well. —and Mr. Harris smiled with a sort of faraway look. It might have been envy of Connie Mack. Or Mr. Harris might have been thinking of those pennant winning days in Washington. a a "The Yankees will finish second. continued the leader of the Bengals. "Boh Shawkey has a somewhat dead ball club. His replacements are not of Ihe hip. hip. hurrah type. But it should have enough punch and just enough pitching to lead everybody but the Athletics* "I LIKE LARY AT SHORT. AND 1 LIKE KOENIG THERE. TOO.

SHAWKEY SAYS HE HAS ONLY TWO EXTRA INFIELDERS AND CAN NOT SPARE EITHER KOENIG OR REESE. a a a “/CHAPMAN is going to be quite a third baseman, and I like the looks of Byrd in left field. But both lack fire. Take that bird Combs out in center field. Now there’s a ball player for anybody s money. I never saw him look better. 888 "Will Ruffing help?” Mr. Harris chuckled. "Looks as if he has helped already. Beal us Sunday, didn’t he? Why nboo’dn't he help? The Yankees gave up robody who was essential. Durst wasn t needed. a a b "AS FOR GOMEZ, I AM IN CONFLICT WITH MY PLAYERS ON THAT YOUNG MAN THEY SAY HE CAN BE HIT. AND HIT PLENTY. THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE HIM AGAIN SOON. BUT I SAY HE'S ON THE WAY TO BECOMING A WHALE OF A LEFTHANDER. 808 “There is no reason why New York shouldn't be second. But the club isn't what it used to be. Well, I guess that’s not exactly news, is it?" tt ss tt “w w THAT ails my own club?" Mr. W Harris lost his smile. “Well, everything seems to go wrong. We don't get the breaks. Our pitchers lost a lot of games on one bad pitch,—like the one Dickey hit for a double Sunday and Gehrig smacked for a homer on Saturday. 888 “We could use more pitchinr. Blaeholder? Yes. I’ve joined the procession. But it can't be done. YVe don't seem to have anybody to spare that St. Louis could use. I think we have picked up a great pair in Hogsett and Wyatt. They II settle down soon. But in the meantime we can’t get to hitting, and a lot of games are lost around the keystone sack. Terhaps the shift of McManus to shortstop will remedv that situation, for Kogell can plav third well enough.'' 888 IN MAKING AN EFFORT TO LAND BLAEKOLDER. HARRIS HAS JOINED AT LEAST FOUR OTHER CLUBS. INCLUDING THE YANKEES. 808 SHAWKEY STILL IS AFTER THE BROWNIE HOLDOUT AND FROM THE INSIDE COMES THE TIP THAT HE IS ABOUT READY TO OFFER KOENIG FOR BLAEHOLDER AND O’ROURKE. 888 There is nothing to a report connecting Waite Hoyt with the Blaeholder proposition. The St. Louis club wouldn't take Hoyt,—not with that $16,000 salary. 888 “T HAVEN'T seen any amazing reJ. cruits,” Harris resumed. “Burnett? Well. Joey Sewell will be back at third before long. Oliver? Well. I have seen some tremendously improved players, and the best of that bunch is Carl Reynolds, center fielder for the White Sox. There's a young man who hat developed into a star. 888 "Reynolds, and that Washington pitching staff,—they stand out as the features of the season to date.”

Reorganization of Yankees Started; Braves Get Zachary Old Tom Goes by Waiver Route; Shawkey Seeks Pitcher Blaeholder and Outfielder Stone.

Bn T'nited Press NEW YORK. May 13.—A reorganization of the New York Yankees seems to be definitely under way, with Tom Zachary, veteran southpaw, the latest player to be cast adrift. Zachary’s release at the waiver price of $7,500 to the Boston Braves Monday was quite a surprise as he won twelve games and lost none last season and had won one and lost one this year. The arrival today of the St. Louis Browns renewed rumors that George Blaeholder, holdout pitcher, will soon be in the ranks of the Yankees. Blaeholder is :>aid to be on the market to the highest bidder. The Yankees are . understood to have offered Waite Hoyt and an-

FOUR young men with a decidedly collegiate appearance next Thursday will take tennis racquets in hand and begin where Big Bill Tilden, Frank Hunter and a couple of other fellows left off—the battle to recover from France the Davis Cup, supreme prize of tennis. Three of the young men who compose the American team—Wilmer Allison, George Lott and Johnny Van Ryn—swing from the same side of the plate as Rogers Hornsby. The other, Johnny Doeg, the Santa Monica southpaw, seizes his paddle in the wrong fist, but John comes from a long line of ancestors who ran rampant on the courts and hasn’t brought any sorrow to any of his tennis relatives as yet. For the four young men of the Davis Cup team this will be a test. The preliminaries with Canada, beginning May 15, are not regarded as any insurmountable difficulty, the Canadians having lost to our side last year by a count of 5 to 0.

Stapp Given Drenching When Hose Line Bursts During Run Duesenberg Pilot Provides Initial Speedway Thrill While Breezing Along at 110 Miles an Hour.

BY NORMAN E. ISAACS Business is commencing to perk up at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the yearly round of thrills during the practice whirls already has started. Little Babe Stapp, the California ace, who will drive one of the eight Duesenbergs in this year’s 500-mile classic, jerked the lid off for the excitement providers’ brigade Monday afternoon when his water hose pipe burst. Babe received a thorough drenching. Stapp happens to be one of the heaviest footed stars at the oval and he came whipping down the straightaway at a 110-mile-an-hour clip, the Duesie winding up splendidly. He nosed into the south turn and just as he started to clamp down on

The Yankees are seeking another outfielder, and have opened negotiations with Detroit for Jonathan Stone. One thing seems certain. Hoyt is slated to go elsewhere. Manager Shawkey has twice passed Hoyt’s turn to pitch and the former Yankee ace is not accepting the action calmly. Mark Koenig may also be offered in a trade. Detroit is anxious to get him, as the Tigers haven’t been able to get first class shortstopping from Akers, Wuestling, Rogell or McHanus, who has been shifted back to third base.

Bu United Pres* NEW YORK, May 13.—After getting on base safely fifteen consecutive times, Babe Ruth had his streak stopped by Phil Page, Detroit southpaw, in the eighth inning of Monday's Yankee-Tiger game.

He slowed down and coasted into the pits with a big grin on his face. “I pretty nearly was drowned,” he laughed. “The water was just nice—luke warm.” Stapp is one of the most dependable pilots at the biff Speedway track and can be depended on for some real speed in the qualification trials. He was joyful over the performance of his motor Monday and there’s may a railbird will be backing him when the boys pull away from the starting line on May 30. And bis name, by the way, is not Egbert—but Elbert. o tt a One of the finest bits of news about the Speedway was announced Monday. It was that Bill Cummins, the Indianapolis dirt track star, will drive one of Peter De Paolo’s two Duesenbergs in the five-century grind. Pete will be at the wheel of the other. Cummings. who is 33, has been driving dirt tracks for five and a half years and, to use his own expression, “On just about every track everywhere.” Bill last week won the big 100-mile dirt track dash at the O/Tlcult Langhorne, Pa., course.. Bill set a remarkable pace in the race, leading big Deacon Litz to the finish wire in a great race. Another Indianapolis dirt tracker took his car onto the bricks Monday for an airing. Cy Marshall had his Buckeye Duesenberg at the oval and alternated with Jimmy Russo is wheeling it around the track. Charles Moran Jr., had his Du Pont winding up at a 90-mile-an-hour clip Monday. It’s a sweet looking job. The lap prize fund is growing daily and already sixty of the 200 prizes have been subscribed. The $20,000 added purse is divided into 200 prizes of SIOO each a price for the leader in every lap of the race.

Tribesmen Fall Down in Pinches Indians Unable to Solve Maley on Monday and Blues Win. Bu Times Special KANSAS CITY, Mo., May '.3. The Indians of Johnny Coriiden bumped into Joe Maley at the peak of his form here Monday and the shortage of base hits in the pinches cost the Hoosiers the ball game, the league champions winning, 4 to 2. George Payne on the Tribe mound finally turned in a good brand of pitching, but was unfortunate in that his mates couldn’t solve Maley when hits meant runs. Howard Freigau, former Blue, collected three of the Indians’ eight hits, and the old reliable Clyde Barnhart poled two. The veteran Barney evidently is striving to get back in the big show for he looks the part of a slender fiy chaser compared with last season, and has won the respect of all the pitchers in the league. No runs were scored until the third inning when the Blues rallied and got to Payne for two markers. They scored again in the sixth and eighth, and the Tribesmen failed to reach the plate until the ninth when a belated splurge produced two tallies. Koenecke, Hoffman and Monahan, who were figured to hit, failed to get one safe during the afternoon. Freigau had a bad day in the field at third base and the two errors charged against the Indians were checked against his name.

* Shooting Par ❖ BY DICK MILLER

FIRST pro-amateur golf tournament of the season was held at Highland Monday. True to expectation, Neal Mclntyre, home pro, was too tough over his own little battleground. Awarding of first money to Neal, who in turn will fix his partner, Joe Stout, up with some merchandise, was taken with a grain of salt by the other twentyeight entrants. Incidentally, Neal and Joe had a best ball score of 69. Course par is 70. The recent rains put the links in tip-top condition, hard to score on, with little roll and a heavy cross wind. 888 The battle for second money, expected to be the highlight, proved just that.

Bn United Press MADISON, Wis., May 13.—Wisconsin university today held a firmer grasp on the leadership of the western conference baseball race after defeating Illinois, 3 to 0, Monday. It was Wisconsin’s sixth straight victory and Illinois’ sixth consecutive loss.

and has learned much since leaving Indianapolis a few years ago to travel east and into the big money. He knocked down one sparring partner Monday and cuffed another into submission despite the fact pillow gloves were used. Wiggins also worked out at the Arcade and was steaming hard at the finish of a joust with Jack Leslie, husky Negro. Comparing the principals in Wednesday’s main go, the fans on hand expressed the opinion that Wiggins is due for a bad night in the way of punishment if he stays the ten rounds. Sekyra has fought Max Schmeling and other heavies of note and believes the German will “take Jack Sharkey in their June meeting in New York. According to Sekyra, the middle west and far west have an exaggerated opinion of Sharkey’s skill and are “out of line’’ on the prowess of Schmeling. In addition to the Sekyra-Wiggins bout Wednesday, the battle between Rosy Kid Baker of Anderson and Jack Rosen of Chicago, eight rounds, is attracting sharp attention. Baker is one of the most popular pugs in the state and Rosen is known for aggressiveness. Six bouts in all make up the card, the first at 8:30.

Feeney was down pretty well with a good smack from the tee and when he stepped into that second shot it sounded well and ended better. Four feet from the pin it struck and stopped. McGuire put down a safe 4, which left the gate open, and it seemed as if no one breathed while Feeney stepped up, ran down that fourfoter for a 3, and a 70. 888 In the play-off for second and third places, the issue was settled on the first hole of the playoff. Bob Tinder, who had scored an individual 73 for the first eighteen holes, sent his second shot onto the velvet and ran clown a safe 4. Feeney took three putts and with It third money. 888 Dick Nelson and Henry Simons scored 71, as did Roy Smith and A. D. Heath. Russell Stonehous'e and Max Buell, Bob Hess of Terre Haute and W. Kiper, and Fred McDermott and George Green all had 73’s. 888 IF you ever broke 100, you were ineligible for a tournament at Avalon Sunday, and the winner just escaped being branded as getting in under false pretenses. S. H. Thomas was going good and came in first with 101. Prizes went to players who finished fifth and tenth. C. Bick and W. Higbury tied for fifth with 114, but Bick won by lot. F. W. Livengood and J. Carpenter scored 129 for tenth place, Livengood drawing best.

HOLES IN ONE Two more names have been added to the Indianapolis list of “ace” golf scorers, Sarah Shank course, opened for public play last summer, was the scene of one of these freak shots. C. O. Bartelson, playing with U. J. Renner, Ray Hasenstal and F. H. Kahl, sent the ball, tee to cup, with one wallop. The scene was the fifth hole and the distance 110 yards. William Ransdell, playing at Pleasant Run Sunday, scored the other spectacular poke, his ace coming on the seventh hole, 161 yards long, according to Herman Uebele, course manager.
