So much good baseball has tended to
make them somewhat intllftorcnt, or nt
least he made them feci that they are
teeing merely what Is their right to sec.
But Lajole's presence has created a new
enthusiasm. The bin; frenchman has been
the cynosure of an eyes since his arrival.
Ho is constantly being sought out at his
hotel by those who would rake up nil
acquaintance on the strength of having
en his picture In the newspapers. At
Sunset I'nrk, too, where Lurry Is now

Cleveland last season he was adjudged

Inhaled some of the JIncklun atmosphere
of enthU6tasm and desire to win.
As to Lajole's fielding, the department
which some Phlladclnhlans seem to think
Will be his weakness In 10t5, It Is above
criticism. There nro two Important fac
tors which will unite to bring the average
emclcney of the one-time $100,000 Inlleld

himself Is going better than those here
thought he would In the field; secondly,

Ligament in A. A. U. Cham
pionship 300 Race,
You've- hcaiii the debatu ot the expel ts
as to whether Amos Ruslo or Walter
Johnson carMd the greater amount ot
speed In pitching. Tho majority award
the olive boiiKh to Johnson.
Tho records show that of nil nltchorn
Mfithovvson carried nnd still carries the
Kreatost control.
But who, of all pitchers, had the"most
puzzllntr curve?
Donovan's Award
mil Donovan has seen most of them
work, nnd Bill has n keen oyo and (list
class Judgment. And Kill awards tin. de
cision In tho matter of tin inot deceptive
curve not to Matty, Kuckrr, Alexander
uui. to .cauio aununers, tho ex-T Icerlnc,
who faded out two years ngo.
'Hummers," says Bill, "hod a curve ball
that broke In at lonst three dltectlons. He
had tho finest sample of tho 'knuckle ball'
I hnvo ever seen. It was not only almost
Impossible to lilt-but almost as hard lo
catch. 1 liuvo seen him warming up with
Ire Thomas, who waa then with Detroit,
nnd almost every other ball would lund In
tho pit of Ira's stomach or brenk bis
glove nnd atriko bin knoe or shin. This
ball would frequently come up to the
plate, break llrst to tho right, then to the
loft, nnd then suddenly duck rinumun,,!
When tho batter lilt it. nn nccldent had
unopened.
Not Spoofing, Either
Neither was Mr. Donovan spoofing his
audience In describing this magic ball
projected at good speed from the knuckles
of Summers. "I was telling Clark Grif
fith about it." added Bill, "and he gave
me the hearse huzza. So one day I got
Griff to put on a big mitt and wnrm up
with Summers. He tried, and finally suc
ceeded In catching ono ball out of four.
Tho others either landed on his shin or
up around his chest. When he nnnlly quit
ho had this to say: 'No batter can hit
him, but neither can his catcher catch
him If he uses that ball. I could almost
swear It broke two ways at the same
time.'
Unbeatable
"Summers was almost unbeatable that
season. Even the JInckmen quit cold
when they saw him warming up. He
beat them 10 straight games, nnd he
hnd both Baker and Collins throwing
their bats away. This ball was pitched
from below tho top knuckles, tenting
away the skin down to tho finger nails.
And yet, even with this, Eddie hnd only
one great year, where he should havo
been one of the greatest pitchers of
nil time."
Boost for the Frenchman
Dining the courso of this fanning bee,
Donovan nlso Inserted a number of glad
tidings concerning Nnp Lnjole. "When I
saw him In Philadelphia," said tho Ynnlc
leader, "I was never more surprised tn
my life. He looked tit least 10 years
younger, nnd It was easy to sco that ho
was keenly Interested In mnklng good
agnln. He bad gotten Into a rut at Clovo
lanil, and the change Is sure to put new
llfo Into his play. If ho doesn't bat over
.300 and handle that bag above tho nver-
ngc I'll enlist with tho Itusslans now fac
ing Von lllndenburg."
Figure This Out
The way of tho magnate is bizarre, and
tho way of the athlete is zigzag, but
what of the way of the fanatic?
For example, figure this out: Tho Giants
last season played at homo to more peo
ple than nny other club in their league;
the Panics played to fewer people at homo
than nny other club In tho leaguo; yet
when the Giants played tho Ynuka on
the same field, two-thirds of thoso present
rooted for the Yanks.

Jockey Club Meets Today
A BMjetliir of the Jockey Club has ben
callsd la New York for this aiternsoii. and.
nrovldau a auerum U uwnl, the racing dtei
for tho seasso will be decide.!.
The Kveni.no I,EnaEn today selects all
star varsity and scrub basketball teams
as the best quintets the Scholastic League
could put out. This la made after a care
ful study of the records and n full re
view as to the Individual qualifications
of the various plnyera who participated
in th campaign.
Northeast High School, winner of the
varsity championship after the most tor
rid race in the history of the organiza
tion, has two men on the first live, Wal
lace, centre, and Jledelt, guard, while
West Philadelphia High also has a brace
of representatives In the llno-up, Cleeland,
forward, nnd Abrams, gtiatd. and Woid,
of Central, is given the other forward
place.
Shelton and Asauith. the cliamnlim'
star forwards, are both selected for the
second team, with Tarr, Central High's
lanky pivot man at centre, and Butler
and Welnstein, of the Central and South
ern, respectively, at the guard positions.
As Cleeland, of the Speedboys, proved
hlmsolf the coolest player in the league
and the best Individual scorer, he is
picked for the captaincy of ths first, team.
Of the men chosen for the second quin
tet, Shelton seems to be tho logical
player for the leadership.
In the second string- league, Dessen and
Mourdlan, according to the statlstlos,
were the best scorers and all.around
leading Door men, and, as a result, they
are picked for the forward places on the
first Ave of the scrub organization,
Michel, Northeast's centre man, Is deserving-
of the middle position as well as
the leadership nf the second teatn be
cause of ila good generalship In handling
the Red and Black would-llke-to-varsity
combination. Mason and Olim played
well enough to get the forward jobs,
while Mondros and I'adulla, both of
Southern, are selected for guard places.

Basketball Title for Elis De
pends Largely on Victory
Tomorrow Night.
Yale's chances to win tho Intercollegiate
bafcketbull championship this year depend
almost entirely on tho outcomo of tho
gnme with Pennsylvania In the local
gymnasium tomorrow night. Tho Ells
aro now tied with rrlncoton for first
place. They have thrco more games to
play. In addition to their gamo with
Pennsylvania they must meet Dartmouth
and Princeton, but thev feel ronnnnoi,!,.
sure thnt a victory over Pennsylvania
will clinch the championship. All the
other teams in tho lengue havo been
uciiuiig jjurimouui regularly, so the Ells
should do tho same. The Princeton game
will bo played in New Haven, and Yalo
men think this ndvantago ought to mako
their victory sure. Thus they figure their
ultimate victory depends on tho Pennsyl
vanla game.
The Quaker team has been playing a whirl
wind tort of gamo for the last two weeks and
Coach Jourdtt thinks that by playing 'tho cams
