' f. One Thing Absolutely CcrUln
IKa awfully uncertain When jou see a rising curtain
To tell a blooming thirp about a show;
And it certainly U rUUv when vou purchase unseated whlskv
''' To diagnose the contents, don't vou know.
,- ' You stroll up to a ielcket and vou buv n little ticket
Permitting vou to enter through a gate;
Tou're keen to view a bumping of two lustv lads a thumping
Tou may see a fist fiasco something great.
T Tou never quite can tell where a jumping German shell
1 going to bust and scatter things about,
But one thing In life Is plain It's as certain sure as rain
And ifyou. read ahead-you'll find it out.
...
F)R quite a spell It appeared uncertain as to who was to have Buck
Herzog wished upon his managerial brow, w to bpeak, this t.cnson,
iMtt'McQraw won out. Tho peppery Giant pilot lasted longer than Stalllngs
4Wd:now Itls patlcnco lias been rewarded. Herzog must play with Stall
lut and Stalling must do the best he can, and the general answer to tho
fUndrum I that Herzog Is dead certain to win when he starts holding out.
- This now-celebrated deal started upon the usual Herzog platform.
JSwrihlg- is Buck's long suit; ho has mado more money trading himself than
by,'j)laylng ball. But. that Is not directly In point. Anyhow ho staged tho
ctmery for the latest deal In which, as usual, he stung both of tho other
Parties of the second part, when he made his contract with McGraw. Buck
Hi Sensitive, about being traded like a knife or a slave and when ho signs
4fj of: these scraps of paper he always has somewhere between the printed
Jlnes In ink a little piece of writing known among legislators ns a Joker.
A, ""Joker"' Is where the Joke Is shifted to tho other fellow Just like a
wejlknown buck.
This "Buck" Herzog says to Jawn McQraw, "Suppose wo havo It that
t elea't' get traded nowhere where the cllmato might be bad." "All right,"
Miya Jawn, "that's reasonable enough; you've traveled a lot and ought to
Vhow something about climate and scenery and you can nomlnato your
Jltace." Buck lays low and watches the almanac and in time ho finds the
fc wlndd are blowing rough and the
but'.ln Boston.
...
ITIHE visibility In Boston was low Uut season, for It was ap-
-L parent that unless a star second sacker was secured Stalllnga
. wouldn't have a working quorum this year.
. Necessity to Move on and to Catch on
THE general situation was that It was as much u necessity for Mc
Graw to get rid of him as It was for Stalllngs to havo him. He and
McGraw had become as friendly as a couple of Mexicans organized on
mescal. They were Damon nnd Pythias with the reverse twist. After
Hsrxog picked Boston the rest Is well known. He worked along gradually
4urlng the winter months until the final climax which culminated on the
ve of the playing season, when McGraw realized that Herzog was going
to carry out his threat to report, which would have put him In a much
Worse predicament than last fall's feat of having to repudiate tho cntlro
newspaper profession.
.And tho question now is: Who paid tho price? There can hardly
fethany doubt. It seems certain that neither McGraw nor Stalllngs wanted
him., and that after things had simmered the player that both chiefly
Ranted "was Barnes and "that Stalllngs certainly would hao greatly
preferred worrying along with Doyle and Barnes. But McGraw simply
could not afford to let the transaction slide, and while the details per
haps will not be known until Herzog gets ready to make another Jump, It
iy be safely admitted that whatever demands Herzog Insisted upon aro
to be borne by tho New York club.
"-McGraw had two reasons which
could not keep Herzog and he could not let Barnes and Doyle go back
t Boston, for It would havo upset Ills entire year's plans. Money Is the
l-at-of McGraw's worries, and as It Is tho best little pacifier known It
gain came to the rescue, as it often has dono In straightening out Giant
difficulties.
h It probably Is cruel to say so, but some already are figuring on how
Bg it will be before Stalllngs and Herzog go to tho mat and as to
which will bo manager before the season Is over.
...
" 'YEH'EnS are inclined to be optimistic and to express the opinion
-' that, having had the benefit of his cNperlenco with Johnny
Evers, Stalllngs may consider himself as trouble-Immune.
Some High Spots in Play in Opening Games
SOME, interesting high spots developed In opening play in the two leagues.
One. of the notable ones was the licking suffered by tho two leagues'
greatest boxmen. Walt Johnson was pounded to a pulp by Miller Hug
flns'fl Tanks, while Branch Rickey's Cards walloped Alexander in frlglit
fp. .fashion. Eleven hits were made off the famous hurle- of tho Scn
etoni, while Alex was nicked for nine with a grand total of seventeen.
Brilliant kick-off stunk, in the pitching lino wcro numerous. Schneider,
ef the' Ittds, got away with tho bC3t first day's work, holding the lowly
Pirates to one hit and nothing In tho run line. Carl Mays camo through
ycjftti a similar performance In the second game of the American Lcaguo
e-ison against C. Mack's Athletics.
Two Philadelphia twlrlcrs camo through brilliantly in their opening
contests. Erk Mayer's go against Stalllngs's Braves was a most notable
ff&IrV Xot only did the lanky moundsman twirl brilliant ball, but he led
Vis mates in hitting, not only in the' averages, but In distance and time
llBesa. Scott Perry, the hippopotamus heaver, made as line an initial
hewing as has been seen In the big ring for many moons and would
Iwve been able to continue the bout Into a marathon had it not been ior
a. bad-break in the umpiring, which resulted In Boston getting a run In
the ninth round. In an extra-inning engagement Perry would have won
eut, for the iron stuff is his specialty.
Another b'rand opening twirling feat was that of Grover Eoudcrmilk,
whet stood the world-famous White Sox on their heads In most undignified
fashion. The only run mado off the revived heaver, who Is attempting
ene grand comeback, was the result of an error. Another notable fcaturo
et this game waa the part played in the affair by the players secured by
the Browns from the Tankees. Joe Gcdeon alone made four hits, one
far two and another for three sacks, while the four ex-Yanks taking
-part made an average of two each. Every man on tho Browns made at
feast one hit off the four hurlera sent in by Rowland, which list Includod
Cteette and Faber.
TWO unique stunts were pulled in tho opener of tho Giants.
Ross Young made a hit on the first ball pitched him in his
,. first big-league appearance and, then the first run of the season for
.thotcGrawme.n. And Zlm pulled another bone. The breezy Bronx
man muffed a liner with first and second occupied, and Instead of
putting his foot on third threw the ball to first, allowing occupants
of both bags to advance.
Opening Crowds Show Much Interest in Baseball
fMHJS weak-hearted who havo predicted a "ha-ard" season for baseball,
t -MMtd those who have seen the old game blown clean out of the water,
erfi. Mve. to guess again, if opening-day crowds spell anything, for In
vary'' city large audiences were in attendance, the average being about
tlpM. The total 'attendance, therefore, was approximately 120,000.
", t.1e lamest ai.ttendajice report came from New York, where 30,000 are
0kjmi to, have filed through, the stiles to view the Giants In their opening
sjlkli salnt the Wneatless Dodgers. When Christy Mathewson's Reds
4Mpred the .persevering PlnSfeq -in their first show of the season before
aMSM folks. 20,000 are said, to have been on fiand. while in St. Louis and
rjsirisri ntffnilnnrr figures are placed at 18,000 each. Tho size of the
Washington crowd Is given as l5,qoo, while- Philadelphia and
arks were about the same, 3000 each.

Giant Runner Loses
Freshman Relay to Rod-
gers by Yard
GRANGER DISAPPOINTS
Johnny Uartels, he of the long legs
and wide smile, i.urprlsed CojcIi Rob
ertton at Franklin Field in the trials
for tho Pcnn freshman one-mllc relay
team, which quartet will be on exhibition
on the second day of the twenty-fourth
annual carnival, April 26 and 27.
It was expected that Dewey Itodgers.
the well-known colored runner who uted
to win track meets for Northeast High
School, would win the 440-yard tryout
with case, but the freshman fllr was
given the surprise of his young career
when liartels drew up u. scant yard be
hind him at the tape.
When the final turn was made Itodgers
was leading tho field by a good fifteen
feet and Bartcls seemed lott In the pack.
Once the bunch was straightened out,
however, the giant freshman went after
th pace-setter at full bpecd. He cut
down the distance with every stride,
and probably would hae passed Rodgera
had the race been a few feet further.
Itodgers wa3 timed In Dl 3-5 seconds
i and ISartcla only a stride behind.
Milton Zucker Third
Milton Zucker, the freshman basketball
player, was third, and Granger, the
brother of the famous Dartmouth run
ner, was fourth. Granger's running was
a disappointment. It was expected that
he would do much better, but, as it
turned out, It was alt he could do to beat
Alexander, a former Central High ath
lete. The freshman team will bo made
up of Uodgers, Bartels, Zucker and
Granger. Bartels Is Ineligible at pres
ent, but hones to ha.e his conditions
Fcratched tiff beforo relay day.
The trial for the two-mile team alto
was held yesterday, and the half-mile
went to Irwin, with Trice second. Clay
ton third and Cummlngs fourth. Gustat
ion also ran, but did not try to place.
Gustafeon has been suffering from an
Infected heel and yesterday was his
frst time out. lie will be one of the
members of the two-mile quartet.
The trials for the Varsity one-mile
and four-mile team will be held this
afternoon. The leading men in tho
i.uarter are Haymond, Davis? Brcnnan
and Clayton. Those In the mile are

Levering.
Oarsmen Off for Nary
The Varsity and Freshman oarsmen

JOIE RAY WILL TRY TO SMASH
TABER'S WORLD'S OUTDOOR
RECORD FOR THE MILE JUNE 8
Chicago Flier Feels Confident That He Can
Better Mark of 4 Minutes 123-5 Seconds
Made by Oxford Star in 1915
By PAUL
JOIC HAT, that rensatlonal filer from
Chicago, who failed In three attempts
to establish a new track record for the
world's Indoor mile run during the last
indoor t-'ason, will have an opportunity
to set new figures for the world's out
door mils run on Saturday, June 8, In
the Harvard stadium, Cambridge.
This race will be an added feature of
a monster army and navy athletic car
nival for the soldiers and sailors of the
rioston district, which will be held under
the supervision of Oeorge V. Brown, di
rector of athletics In the Boston naval
district.
Devaney and Weeks Entered
The conditions for this kneclal race
haven't been completed as yet. and In
order that a record should ono be estab-
llshcd should not be open to criticism,
the event will be a regular handicap
competition, with Itay starting from
scratch. Mike Devaney, the former
Mlllrote star and present member ot
the Boston naval district, and Harold
Weeks, of the Boston A A., havo been
Invited to compete against Ilay.
Norman Taber Is the present holder
of the mile record. He made his remark
able run of 4 minutes 12 3-5 seconds
In 191C, on" the Harvard stadium track.
It Is nn acknowledged fact that this
cinder path Is the fastest In the country.
rrewous to Taber s rccocd-Sveaklng run
the mark had been held by John Paul
Jones, of Cornell, who Is now In the
navy trying to duplicate the achieve
ments of the hero bearing the same
name a century ago. Jones also made
his record on the Harvard track.
Ray in Great Form
The conditions under which flay will
make his run to establish a record are
different from those under which Taber
ran. In the 1915 race frech runners
started at certain distances, thus giving
the former Brown University man
a fast pace throughout the entire event
A new record established under these
conditions wouldn't be aceeptcd by the
A. A. u. today.
Ray has written to Brown that he
believes he is capable with proper com
petition of bringing the record down
to 4 minutes and 10 seconds and possi
bly better. That he Is runnlnr In wan.

C. MACK DRAFTS BLOOMING
PHEN0M FROM RUBBER FACTORY
Davidson, Former Brown University Star, Expected
to Make Nifty Utility Man
This Season
CONNIE MACK never has been a
stickler for Hoyle, the party.made
famous as leading coach of table games.
He has followed the form stuff 'In many
Instances Just to show' that he had' no
objection to working on a rule bchedule
when he felt like It. but Jie has free
lanced quite a bit In the drafting proc
ess and haa called In recruits from prep
schools, colleges, foundries and other
seats of learning. And the season Just
passed he Invaded a rubber factory and
grabbed a promising rookie who js ex
pected to aid much In bolstering the
inner cogtr In his reconstructed baseball
machine.
Thd player' In question rubbered

Flak lied Tops, of Chlcope Kails, Masa.
Claude B. Davidson Is the name of the
young gentleman who went over the top

PREP
In 9 minutes and 4S Keconds, and h
only a few yards behind Tom Campbell
In the half mile event, which was won In
1 minute and 67 2-G pceontfj.
Several months ago It was thought
by many track critics that with Bob
Simpvjn, Waldo Ames and other sensa
tion college hurdlers all dotng their little
bit In some branch or other of the Oov
ernment service, the 120-yard high hur
dle race at the annual relay carnival of
the University of Pennfylvanla would
be far below the standard of competition-set
for this event In former years.
But such Is not the case.
C IL Hrdman, the pensatlonal timber
topper from Princeton who finished only
a few yards behind Bob Simpson, the
world's record holder. In this event last
season, will be among the starters. In
the Meadow-brook Club games held last
month In this city Hrdman equaled the
worlds indoor record for the forty-five-yard
high hurdlen and In doing so
showed Improved form over his previous
work.
Then there Is Johnson, the Michigan
flash, who Is reported to be a world
beater and who wine track experts go
fo far as to say is the greatest hurdler
that has come o.ut of the West for sev.
eral years and this Is going sonic. His
record was unmarred during the Indoor
season and he tied the world's record for
the seventy-flve-yard high hurdles.
Cornell Men Fast
Hrdman and Johnson, however, will
not have easy sailing, for Coach Jack
Moakley. of Cornell, has two star per
formers In Clemlnshavv and Smith They
havo shown great form anri nri in
going over the high sticks during tho last
wecK. i mo jnnns Hopkins meet In
Baltimore these two r.n very close to
the Princeton star and repeated In the
Meadowbrook games.
If there Is such a thing as form In
track athletics and the above mentioned
run true to such, then the men toeing the
mark In the final of the 120-yard event
will be Krdman. Johnson, Clemlnshaw
nnd Smith. Although a new record la
unlooked for. It Is posslblo that one of
these men will come through with the
unexpected.
Meadowbrook Not Entered
Samuel J. Dallas, the rccretary of the
Meadowbrook Club, will not enter a team
In the Junior national medley relay
championship, which will be staged by
the Thirteenth Regiment Athiniin. At
elation. Brooklyn, on the evening of
April ZS.

Brown the belter of a 3-to-2 count
In his first five games he was lead-off
man and hit for .t7. In tho sixth he
was moved to the clean-up position,
where ha batted through the next two
years. Another happy victory came to
Brown that year through the work of
' Davey's" bat, when he tripled and won
the Holy Cross engagement In Provi
dence, S to 0. At the end of the season
he was picked by most sports writers
for the New lTngland all-star college
nine.
The following year was another big
one for him. Batting well up among
the leading college hitters all year, ho
was only a fe.w points back of Leland, of
Tufts-, the leading swatamlth. At the
close of the year he was elected captain
of the team for 191 S, an honor which
seldom befalls a sophomore. He did

ABILITY TO JUDGE
IS EQUIVALENT
RENDERED BY
Both Make Accurate
Evans Tells How He Handles a Difficult
Phase of the Game
By CHAKLES (CHICK) EVANS, Jr.
OST golfers aro aware of tho Im
portance of being able to judge
distance, for, without this ability, tho
aecurato placing of shots Is virtually
Impossible. And, of course, tho player
who cannot Judge distance Is very likely
to iselect the wrong club. In golf the
power of Judging dlstanco Is equivalent
to the servlco rendered hy aviators.
Both make accurate shooting poislble.
Personally. I cannot Judge distance
well In terms of yards. I estimate dls-.
taiicc on the basis of the number of
drives, mashle or brassle shots required.
A stretch of ground Vvlth a small body
of water on It or mountainous surround
ings has always given me the most
trouble In Judging distance. Most of my
playing has been done In a comparative
ly fiat country and I sunDosc the golfer
who plays habitually near water or In
mountainous country would find no fcuch
difficulty us I do.
Hard Test for Golfers
I think there Is scarcely a more dif
ficult test than for a golfer from a level
rountry to play on a mountainous course.
Tho efTect of a foreground rising upward
toward the qlouds confuses a man ac
customed to a sky-lino that blends with
the ground almost to the level of the
eye.
Naturally, Judging dlstanco Is most
difficult on a strango course. After a
player has made a few rounds such land
marks as trceB, bunkers, etc., help him
divide up the course and Increase his
accuracy.
I have a friend who makes It a prac
tice to count his steps to traps, and
bunkers, etc., and makes a mental record
LOCAL GUNNER ENTERS
NEW ENGLAND SHOOT
John B. Fountaine to Represent This
City in Boston A. A. Tourney
John B. rountalnc, ot this city, left
last night for Boston, where he will rep
resent Philadelphia In the Boston Ath
letic Association's two-day target
tournament. Charles If N'ewcomb, the
national target "champ," was to have
gone to tho New England shoot with
Fountaine, but business Interfered.
Tcsterday Fountaine broke forty-five
of his fifty clay birds In the regular
midweek target test of tho Philadelphia
Shooting Academy, at Wyoming avenue
and D street, and if that performance Is
used as a criterion the Quaker shot is
going to give a good account of his
prowess. In the Academy's test strong
winds bothered the marksmen and a
forty-five score under such conditions
was equivalent to a forty-nlno under
normal conditions.
Today's sport down F.ast villi be a
forerunner to the Patriots' Day festivi
ties In Boston. Another nearby gunner
who left for the shoot was Fred- Plum,
of Atlantic City.
The 8. 3. Whites Independent's shooters
engage- In their monthly shootlnv Saturday
at Highland Park over the Philadelphia
Ulectrlc'a grounds.
The Heldeman Cluh gunners are planning
to hold an oldtliners shoot over In New
Jersev In tho near future. Secretary Fred
Cll hert Is working on a card for the vet
erans George Ktlber. well-known pigeon shot,
was a visitor at the Academy shooting
grounds esterday.
Lack of grounds Is hampering the work
of local gunners. The Hot Air Club's an
nual shoot has been prolonged until grounds
can bo secured to hold thr event. J. Frank
I'ratt Is the big chief of the Hot Air organi
zation. ANGLERS WANT FISH
PUT IN PARK STREAMS
A movement Is on foot to amalgamate
all the small fishing clubs around this
city Into ono large organization. On
April 35 a special meeting will be held
at the Philadelphia County Fish, Game
and "Forestry Association, Germantown
avenue and Diamond street, for this pur
pose. It Is virtually abssurcd'that such
a project w HI go through.
M Buller, a member of the Pennsyl
vania Pish Commission, will address
tho anglers on their favorite topic. Local
anglers want to have the Wlssahlckon
and Pennypack streams stocked with
trout. These creeks should afford splen
did fishing. According to reports a pe
tition U to be sent to Harrisburg asking
tho fish commissioners to plant scv
eral varieties of trout In these creeks.
The Wlssahlckon at some places affords
trout fishing, hut the general sentiment
Is that very few can be hooked owing
to the small number.
Thomas S. Martin, of tho Kalrmount
Park Commission, sas there are both
bass and trout In the Wlssahlckon. Ac
cording to hts version the reason for
few fish being In the Park creek ts be
cause of the onrushlng floods at certain
periods of the year, which makes It
highly Impossible for the fish to fight
the strong currentB and they are swept
into the b'chuvlklll. This applies to small
fish. Tho larger species can fight the
currents.
The last time the Wlssahlckon was
planted with fish was In 1914.
