SHOWING OF COLLEGIATE RECRUITS, PARTICULARLY INFIELDERS, PLEASES CONNIE fti ONLY RESIDENT OP DISTRICT nAltf RF, TITO "HTTATVrP" nnrX MACK SAYS HIS RECRUITS ARE IN POOR PHYSICAL CONDITION AND WILL RE SLOW STARTING Peerless Manager Is Convinced That He Has Material at Hand to Develop Another Famous Infield Oldring a Free Agent MANAGER MACIt, of tho Athletics, declares that his college recruits will not bo able to show their true form for at least two weeks, because with the exception of Eddie King, tho youngster from Amherst Aggies, nil are In poor condition. The college teams on which tho youngsters played completed their schedules about June IE and tho players, with tho excoptlon of King, went to their homes for a Vacation and did not play ball at all for two weeks. According to Mack tho layoff had a bad effect on tho youngsters and It Will roqulro at least a weok of. strenuous practice to bring them back to tho form they showed when they were Btgncd. Most of tho lads did not havo a ball In their hands for two weeks, while Lawry, the most highly touted youngster, has been 111 and Is still weak. It probably will be somo time before ho shows his (rue form. Tho wizard manager Is satisfied that he has tho material at hand to develop mother wonderful infield. Ho says that it will bo somo time beforo tho men have become acoustomcd to each other and thai they may look bad at times, but that ho la not worrying about his infield problem and will now turn his at tention to tho outfield. , Bo confident la Mack that he is well fortified In the Infield with tho addition of Rowo and Xawry that ho will dovelop King, a youngster, whose batting and base running Impressed him greatly, Into an outfielder. Lannlng, tho Wbsloynn collegian, who has boon playing In tho outfield, is not an outfielder, but a pitcher, suid In tho future he will pitch. Mack says Lannlng Is a good hitter, but Is not last enough for the outfield, and as he has shown a lot of stuff as a pitcher he wlU conflno himself to pitching. 4 Mack folia of His Plaits TT Ea TijjtiD AY'S game was a hard ono on tho youngsters because Catcher X Moyer had such a bad day and made everything so hard for everybody," aid Mack. "Still, I hardly cxpoct any of tho recruits to show much for a weok or two because thoy aro not In good shape. Asldo from IClqg none of tho boys has been playing ball for two weeks, owing to examinations and vacations to their homos. They need about ono week of morning practlco beforo they will bo Toady to shsw their true form. "I am very much pleased with Lawry and Howe and believe that I shall use IClng In tho outfield. Ho Is an excellent hitter, pretty good baso runner and & mighty smart lad, who Bhould develop Into a flno outfielder. Lawry has been sick and If It wero not for tho Injuries to Lajolo and Pick I would not pormlt ' him to play for at least a week, but I need him now. "Wo know what Lawry can do. Ho Is not a long distance hitter, but a con sistent clubber and a flno all round ball player. Ho may be slow starting, but he Is going to come through in a surprising manner. A lot of people 'think this Btuff about his Bpeed la bunk, but I want to say that it is on tho level. Ho is as fast as any ball player I havo over seen. Whethor ho can bo taught to utlllzo his speed remains to bo seen. "Rowo has made an excellent Impression. Ho is ono of thoso youngsters who look hotter every time you sco them. Ho has great possibilities. My Infield problem is not worrying me' at nil. It will take a little time before they aro working smoothly, but I am well satisfied. "Witt looks better every day and Will continue to Improve. I have all my recruits hero now with two exceptions. They will not Join me for some time. "For tho presont I must find an outfielder, as tho retirement of Oldring leaves . place to fill. Starting today or tomorrow I will uso IClng In the outfield as Lannlng will devote himself to pitching In tho future. An outfielder, a catcher and a pitcher" aro my only needs. Wo will try out a lot of players this summer becauso you can novert tell when you will And a gem, but I am very well satisfied If I got tho outfielder, pitcher and catcher. I have two men coming Who I think will fill two of tho positions and I guess I will get the other. Oldring Was Made Free Agent UT WAS sorry to sco Rubo Oldring retire becauso ho was still a great ball JL player when he wanted to bo. Rubo simply lost interest In baseball, or be came disgusted playing with a losing team, and did not do as well as ho might havo last season and this year. "When Oldlng. told mo ho was through I told him I would trade him If ho Wanted to go elsewhere, on almost any team In the league could use him, but ho told me ho did not want to play anywhero but In this city and that he was merely tired of tho game. I gave him his unconditional release, because I took him at his word. "For all I know he might sign up with somo other team and return to the game, but I don't think he would do that after asking me for his releaso because he wanted to retire. It is unfortunate that he should retire before 'his time, as ho is still a great player and I think he will regret his decision when It Is too late. I did not want him or any other ball player who is not satisfied, o I will forget all about it" V Willis C. Davis, the University of Pennsylvania tennis star, Is one of the four survivors In the championship singles of tho national court tennis tourney at Cleveland. Davis eliminated Walter Knox, of Princeton, yesterday by playing bril liant tennis, and will fight it put with Conrad Doyle, of Washington; Charles Gar land and William McBllroy, of Pittsburgh, for the right to meet R. Korrls WUHoms in the challenge round for the championship. Tho wrestling tournament at the Olympla last night was pronounced a great sruccess, but nobody knows why. Tho sporting public here does not fall for the wrestling game as It does In Now Tork, Chicago and a few other large cities, and only a small crowd attended. The three matches were very interesting, ac cording to wrestling experts, but the crowd failed to enthuse. i" ... A lost ball while driving from the 18th tee In the afternoon prevented James Simpson, of the Blue Mound Country Club, of Milwaukee, from breaking the Mlnlkahda courso record In the national open golf tourney at Minneapolis in the second day's play In the qualifying round. Simpson's sensational work has bade him tho favorite In tho tourney. When Lawry was sent to -bat in place of Myers In the ninth inning, the fans wero anxious to see him hit an Infield grounder, as they wanted to see him run, , hut the Maine recruit, who Is reputed to be the fastest runner In baseball, fanned. As Fat Moron says, "Fast runners are a great asset, but you have to hit the hall beforo you run." "Wonder what Manager McGraw willjdo If the Cardinals accept his offer to trade Tesreau for Bailee, now that the former has returned to form. The day following McOraw'a decision to trade the big splt-baller, Tesreau came back yrith. s, shutout victory over Brooklyn. It is hard to see how McGraw could figure this a good trade under any, conditions, as Bailee at his best never classed with Tesreau. St. Louis fans and scribes want Fielder Jones to use George Slsler on the mound every fourth day and on first base when he Is not pitching. When Slsler was unable to play regularly for a week because of an injured leg, Jones sent him to the mound and he pitched a great game. Now the fans want him to pitch, as well as play first, but Jones is not likely to pay any attention to their wishes, Blsler W of too much value to the Browns to switch him about, and most likely both his pitching and his hitting would be affected If Jones adopted the auggestlon, a Believing that the position of tho Giants bench, which compels the players to face a number of dazzling' signs on the left field fence, has caused the prolonged hatting slump on the home field. Manager McGraw has,declded to use the players' bench on the left field side, which faces the green-painted wall. Last year Manager Moran changed the Phllly bench from the left to tho right side of the field for the same reason and, got the desired result, . . Judging" by the way Tyrus Cobb and Joe Jackson are clubbing, Trls Speaker" is going to have trouble holding the batting lead. Jackson and Cobb have had their annual slump and are now climbing, while Speaker has gone along at a consistent clip and probably has a slump coming. Willis S. D. Darts, who has made such a splendid record In the tournament How la progress In Cleveland for the clay court tennis championship of the United Statec, has developed at such a rate within the last year that he Is likely to be a trong- contender for national honors when the meet is held at Forest HUls in August COLLECTING ON A PAY BALL OfJ rjS0Md -n,F FfcMNV A PAY BALL- TeMrT r"i LZ71 . chazv-hh 7rVT GUY MM pAft op it- a Piece ALL "Rod MD Kl STEM HMRY I rz ' dome.

HUH! THERE AIN'T NO SUCH ANIMAL Southern Ad Man Tells How Catcher Schlei Stopped (?) the Georgia Peach STOLE ALL BUT THE BALL Ex-Catcher George Schlei, formerly of tho Reds and the Giants, and once rated as one of the best mlttmen In the bis leagues, now mows alfalfa with stolid mien "somewhoro In America." Tyrus Raymond Cobb, an earnest base ball player, 'who also flourished at the time of ex-Catcher Schlei, still la somewhat prominent in baseball spheres. In fact, If we're not mistaken, he leads the American League Why one great player should .continue placidly on hla way as the greatest player In the game while the other star should drop Into oblivion was told today during an Intermission In the ad men's activities by Brom Ridley, business manager of the New Orleans Dally States. A few palm beachod delegates mopped their brows as Ridley handed them the following: "Soeral years ago, when all the big leaguers were gathered for the spring Jun ket In the South, the Reds and tho Tigers were signed up for a series In Dallas, Tex. i happened to be there and eot to talking to Schlei," said the New Orleans ad ex pert "'What do you think of Cob?" I asked the husky catcher. " 'He's a boob,' scoffed the Red's receiver. Furthermore, he's a flah. He's a big, over rated piece of ham. It makes me sick to see him get away with tho stuff he does. Ho wouldn't livo a minute In a regular league. Wait till he gets up against me. Anyone with ono arm and a little brains can make him look like the worst piece of cheeee that ever came along. Anybody can get Ty Cobb's goat If they go about It right,' sneered Schlei, 'and you Just watch me show him up.' Whose Goat Was It? "I told some of the sporting writers about It." continued Ridley, "so they went and had a talk with Schlei. The papers the next morning were Bmeared with stories on how the premier catcher of the National League was going to get the goat of the best base stealer in the American League. The scribes, to make things more realistic, bought a real goat and dragged IV up to the press stand with them. Ty was much riled and couldn't even see the ball. "'Let htm hit It,' hooted Schlei behind the bat "He can't move it he does get on base.' "The 'Georgia Peach' didn't do a thing In tho Saturday game, and the papers said that his goat was gotten, sure enough. "Then came Sunday," drawled the South erner to the open-mouthed ad men gathered about "Ty walked out on the diamond at his first time up and blew a ktss to tho goat hanging Its chin whiskers over the press stand box. '"We've got your goat, you big bluff.' Jeered Schlei behind the plate. Throw your bat away. You're out now,' Ty Deployed Into Action 'Ty Just smiled and laid on the ball with hla customary vigor. On the next pitch he stole second. He had three hits, and each time, on the first pitch, he stole second. Schlei began to crack. Ha ran Into the grand stand. He fell over his own feet He took one on the thumb and he muffed everything. In the seventh Ty walked up to the plate, looked a minute at Schlei and started to laugh. "Til tell you when I'm going to steal this time,' said Bluffer Raymond. "Ha knocked one over second for a clean single," said Ridley, "and then ha held up his hand for silence. "'I will now steal second,' he said, as Schlei waited desperately with the ball In hla hand Cobb did. Schlei almost threw the ball away In hla frenxy to get the Georgia streak. "'Now try third,' mocked Ty, and he broke Into his wild lope for the bag at the corner of the stretch. "Schlei threw the ball wildly and Cobb came trotting home. " 'How about the goat stuftr Ty asked the Reds catcher, who stood with his eyes twisted In bloody wrath. "A loud laugh came from the Detroit bench. "Catcher Schlei doffed hla mask, the pro tector for his manly cheat and pads for his wobbly shins. 44 'I'm through,' said the 'goat getter.' "And he was," finished Rldley7 "Ha faded away, was sent to (be minors and la now out of the game." Maxwell Will See Big Fight for Philly Fans Robert W. Maxwell, sports editor of tho Evening Ledger, will bo at tho ringsido tonight when Jack Dillon and Frnnk Moran engage in their scheduled 10-round bout at Washington Park, Brooklyn. Maxwell is far-famed as a fistic expert. Ho will review the big fight in tomorrow's Evening Ledger, tell ing what, how and why it all happened.

U. official reprcsentatho emphalsed the value of exercise for the young and stated that the plan proposed by the Evening I.edoeh was one of the most sensible he had In vestigated. Tho fact that all the events are to be limited to 440 yards and less made It specially Important for tho youngsters to accept the generous provisions of the Evenjno Lbooer. and Woodslde Park. Secretary Meyer also said the offer of the Woodslde management to the boys for the use of the track any day during the week made that place a public athletic ground such as they have In many of ,4110 other American cities.

H , beginning on July winding up on July 8k Hundreds of trapahootlng tournaments are conducted In this country each year and, like everything else, there are some that stand out from tho others.

Plan Agitated to Bar Golfers Who Do Not Live in This District From Competing By SANDY McNIBLICK DISTItlCT championships ought only to be played for by residents of the dis trict. This was the sentiment expressed today by a tidy group of golfers and civilians gathered about the 19th holo at Huntingdon Valley, where Is being waged tho season's conflict for the nmateur championship of tho Golf Association of Philadelphia. The G A. qf l'miadclphln Is about tho only organization of similar strength that permits all members connected with clubs belonging to the association to take part In all Its events, whether said player la a resident of tho district or not It was pointed out by ono of the fore most golfers of tho city that It didn't scorn fair for a ployer to Invndo this district and take the championship of, Philadelphia off to some distant clime, say Omar, Mich., then to laugh and chnrtlo over It In se clusion while tho district from which he had won It had no one to lino up against Invaders, or In Its tourneys as Its local pride and champion. Rule Enforced Elsewhere Tho Metropolitan district, It was said, has such a powerful ruling on the subject that no player not a resident of a certain zone of tho heart of tho city can play In Its championships. Tho ruling was so rigidly enforced that John G. Anderson, national finalist was obliged to move Insldo the "ropes" a short time ago. ' There has not boen any case recently where a forolgncr has Invaded the Phila delphia district and carried away the honors, but tho case might come up at any time, It was pointed out Hugh Li Wllloughby will champion a proposed ruling that will be submitted at tho next meeting of tho Golf Association to cover the matter and prohibit any one not a resident of tho local district to play In Its championships. Sidney Sharwuod showed a flno rally when ho cut loose from his 81 of the morn ing round yesterday morning and toro home In the afternoon with a 78, which won for him tho silver cross trophy of tho Golf Association of Philadelphia, offered for the best total of 72 holes In the championship qualifying round and the 3d -holo play Me morial Day. The trophy Is about an Inch square. It Is In tho Bhape of a malteso cross and has tho Initials of the association In blue on tho plain silver surface. It makes a very handsome watch charm.

V K Jh: HARD HITTING ALONE N0T SUFFICIENT TO MAKE CLUBM FLAG-WINNING COMBINATION I By GRANTLAND RICE WOULD be simpler to brand Bennle Xauff as a failure If this was an ordinary year with the dope running level. But when one looks around and finds Ed die Collins below ".260, Frank Baker below .260, Stuffy Mclnnts below .220, Johnny Evers. Sherwood Mageo and Fred Luderus below .225, It rather hard to say that Bennle around .250 Is an utter fizzle. ICauff la not yet a finished ball player. He has a world to learn. He overswfngs at bat and Isn't the Burest pegger In the world. He Isn't nearly as good as his two mates, George Burns and Dave Hobertson. But this doesn't mean that he la a failure. There Isn't a harder worker In the game, and this will count In his favor once he be gins to gather in a few tricks of the trade that he hasn't yet acquired. His showing bo far has been a big disappointment. But In such an unusual year of upsets It Is hardly fair to render complete Judgment on any player until the full returns are In. That Punch Again "It's the old wallop that rules the game, baseball with the others," suggeata a con temporary. Thla always sounds good, even though It slips upon the Stairway of Truth and comes on down to the cellar. , Just at present you don't happen to see the Cuba In the first division. Yet they are leading the league In batting by several points. This Is only a detail. They also lead In long hits and extra bases by a fairly tidy margin. An(l who are the first four sluggers of tho league T Williams, of Chi cago; Doyle, of New York; Schulte, of Chicago, and Zimmerman, of Chicago. This Isn't far away from a complete monopoly of the so-called wallop. But it hasn't lifted the Cubs into the first division yet, much less first place. The wallop Is an Important part of baseball, but It Isn't the entire game by a number of marine leagues. Why "No Credit"? Even if Moran should knock out Dillon, wo have been told he will get very little credit for beating a smaller man. Which Is our notion of bunk In purest form. Dillon Is regarded as one of the toughest customers In the game. Ho has his share of skill, the stamina and tho punch. He is a natural fighter, who has more than held his own against many of the best. Admitting that he is 25 pounds lighter than Moran and several Inches shorter, any man who knocks out Jack Dillon In 10 rounds will deserye all tho credit he can carry. n Bob Fltzsimmons was 40 or SO pounds lighter than Jim Jeffries when they met, but tho California bear was awarded plenty of credit for knocking the Buby One cold. $11.80 ANY SUIT In the House TO OBDEB Reduced from $80, f 25 sod 129 5 Oar 7 Big Window, .PETER MORAN & CO.
