DALE'S HURLING PLEASES FANS OF CINCY REDS Young Pitcher Works Hard From Start to Finish Sending Opposing Batters Down in Order.
BY C. H. ZUBER. CINCINNATI, June 23. They still are well bunched In the race for the National League pennant, and not one of the eight teams in the circuit can be counted out of the running at this KtaeA of the same. ThU condition is
most extraordinary, when one consid
ers that the season is more tnan onethird over and that there has been no
startling reversal in form in any of
the eight teams now engaged in bat tlintr for honors.
While the Reds are far down in the race, their , ability should be judged
by their percentage as compared with the leaders, rather than by their position. Only a few games separate them from the first division, while it would b nossible for them to take the lead
within a week, provided, of course, the other teams suffered . reverses at the same time. Local fans are beginning to give more attention to percentages and
less to position, and the result is in
creased enthusiasm over the pros
pects of Herzog's team. Crowd Backs Team. At last Sunday's game with Phila
delphia the large crowd evinced the highest loyalty, and it is certain that this generous support will be continued in the future, and especially at the next two Sunday games, when the Cbicagos and St. Louis teams, respectively. will be the Reds opponents.
Cincinnati fans are wondering if the club has picked up a real phenom, in Pitcher Eugene Dale. This chap was drafted from the International League on what may be termed the flimsiest kind of dope. His record of losing more games than he won on that circuit last year didn't give much promise 60 little, in fact, that he wasn't taken particularly seriously on the southern training trip. Then came opportunities for him to finish a game now and then, and he Invariably delivered. During the past five or six weeks he has been worked in turn, delivering a brand of goods that is better than anything shown by a Red twirler in many moons. His record of not allowing a New York player to reach first during the first six innings
of a recent game, and his come-back in his next time out against Philadelphia Sunday with only three men facing him in each of the first eight innings, promises to stand for a long time. Dale Works Hard. Dale seems to have but one fault as a pitcher, and that is that he works too hard. Instead of husbanding his strength and putting on the brakes only when absolutely necessary, he ts putting something on every ball he pitches. The result is that he tires toward the close of the contest, a fact which cost him the recent game with tbe Giants already referred to, and
came near bringing about his defeat by the Phillies last Sunday. With a real wise -catcher behind him one who will make him extend himself only when it is absolutely necessary, Dale will be one of the real finds of the present season. Mathewson and other great pitchers use extraordinary measures only when compelled to. Dale, by following this, system, can bring home as many coonskins as any twirler in the business.

DARING CAR PILOTS
60 AFTER RECORDS ON CHICAGO TRACK
With arrangements completed for the world's greatest 600-mile automobile derby over the world's fastest two-mile course, the firBt annual motor race ; on the Chicago Speedway park track will be held Saturday. Three world's records have been established on the new Chicago course since the first day of trials, and . with each new record, a mile was added to tbe speed average on a mile. In tbe first place, Earl Cooper, driving a Stutz, ground out two miles at the rate of 109 miles an hour, and this
speed was pronounced the very greatest ever attained on a circular track.
A few days later Dario Resta, in a regularly sanctioned trial, which was presided over by Starter Fred Wag
ner, clipped seconds off Cooper's time.
The Italian driver smashed madly around the two-mile oval, bettering Cooper's mark and establishing a new
record. His average was 110.1 miles
an hour.
Barney Lowers Mark.
It fell to Barney Oldfield. perhaps the world's most famous driver, to
lower the time made by Resta. HaV-
ering Resta's record, Oldfield was tea-! tured on the Sunday afternoon program of dashes at Speedway park. He appear upon the track driving his famous old speeder, the Christie, which is a front wheel drive, and although it was necessary to tow the Oldfield machine around the first half mile of the track to heat up the engine, once the car got under way, there was speed unheardof. Barney took several spins around the course before finally waving for a time watch on the speed, and when he crossed the electric timing device, taps for the finish, a newrecord was announced. The cigar-
munching driver had spun for an average of 111 miles an hour, and although few hope to see that record beaten, Resta has expressed a determination to clip off the new time.

RUSHVILLE RESPECTS RICHMOND STRENGTH
Rushville is figuring on strengthening the team for their game with the Richmond club at Rushville Sunday. Despite the fact that Richmond has lo6t both games a wholesome respect for the team throughout the circuit is felt as they figure that the team has been going in tough luck to a certain
extent and that when it does begin to get an even break that any or all of
them are due to take p. licking.
The "Rushers" are down on their first sacker who has not put up the game expected of him, being much slower than last year and without
much pep. A new man to handle the
first sack is being sought. The remainder of the infield is fast and the directors are perfectly satisfied with it. The Rushers further expect that the winner will be declared on the effectiveness of the twirler and they are advertising the battle as a sure pitchers battle. Several fans are expected to accompany the team to Rushville.

Women Follow Inside Baseball
Local jokesmiths have found their fild of activity greatly narrowed this year. No longer can they poke fun at the
women who attend the games at Athletic park. Mrs. Fan doesn't ask foolish questions about why players stand in such and such positions, why the
pitchers tie themselves in a bow knot
before delivering the ball, why the bat
ter can not run on a foul ball, why the
runners muss up their nice suits by sliding into first base. The small contingent of women fans who follow the varying success of the Richmond baseball team may be seen in their regu-
ar places each Sunday. They know
the players by name. They know why
