BIG LEAGUES IN HEROIC
ROLE OF CLEAN-UP MAN
Gawy Cravath Swell Artist at the Job With
1 His Looping, Fence-Clearing Clouts Na
tional Has Call Over American
WtflE clean-up Job Is flu all-Important position In baseball strategy. It
'? represents tho play In the war uamo when tho heavy artillery Is to bo
turned loose at tho tlmo It will lo the most damage. It Is the fourth po
sition In tho batting line-up and tho scenery Is carefully laid for tho big
$low.
Hitter No. 1 must be a nifty party at getting on. He must bo a good
Salter, careful and crafty nnd a speedy man, and If ho Is short and has. In
Addition, a deceptive crouch, he Is well fitted for tho lead-off Job. No. 2 In tho
haling order Is tho sacrificial party. Ho must bo unselfish, good at tho
!lurit and generally resourceful In pushing his man nlong. No. 3 generally
13 or ought to be an unusually good hitter, especially clever nt the swat-and-run
Job. Two of tho best tho game has seen at this assignment uro Cobb
wid Speaker, while George Slslcr Is no slouch.
,r And then comes the clean-up. The party for this Job U expected to
Jjae a real Casey without tho historic Casey part. Ho should bo ublo to
whale tho ball a mile, preferably Into tho bleachers or over tho fenco and
fc'ot strike out any too often. Ho doesn't liavo to bo a deer on tho bases
Jfir a. bear at fielding. All ho has to do Is to punish tho pill.
A glance at thlc season's clean-up selections would Indicate that tho
National League doubtless has tho call for class. Thcro are only two .300
lilttcrs to do the poling this year, ono In each league, llogcrs Hornsby, tho
galloping carpenter of tho Cards. Is the "ace" of tho cleanup brigade. Ho
Wt .327 last year and served as runner-up to Uddlo Itoush as best nvcrago
'hitter. Joe Jackson, Whlto Sox base cleanser, barely got over the .300
friark last year, failure to have reached which goal would have put him out
5t pollto baseball society for tho first tlmo since his blg-leaguo appearance.
nt
HORNSDV has had a most discouraging batting start this year,
following his swell season of nubllclty during the winter months.
So far ho has fallen down hard, both during spring practice and
since regular play started.
Paskevt Joins Cravath as Clean-Up Artist
EXT to Hornsby. Cravath Is tho class of both leagues at tho ripping
'assignment. Opposing pitchers, players and fans always heave ii sigh
svhen the murderous Callfomlan strolls up to the plate nnd takes his
eatand In tho far corner of tho batter's box. And this style of clouting Is
great for the Job, for he hits the looping wallops that clear tho fences.
Old Friend Dodo I'askert now is attempting to do a Gawy In the near
center of tho Cub llnc-up. but so far tho former l'hll has done virtually no
hitting of any kind. And tho same Is true of Dick Hoblltzcll, of the Hed
Box. Hobby has been unable to get his eye on the pellet, and so far his
hitting Is down among the pitchers and way down, if comparison with "Babo"
.Ruth were made.
Besides those mentioned In the National, tho following now arc to bo
found In Position No. 4 in that circuit: Hal Chase Is on tho Job for tho
Reds, Konctchy for the Braves and Mitchell for Brooklyn. Mitchell, as a
substitute for Zack Wheat, EUggests a tragedy. Casey Stengel Is operating
at the responsible spot In his new surroundings ut Pittsburgh, while Heinle
21m Is McGraw's selection.
Derrlll Pratt Is on the Job for tho Yankees and the situation Is a peculiar
ane. It looks as If Pratt would be tho last selection for the role among
ciouters like Baker, Bodle and Plpp. For Cleveland Itoth is following Speaker
and Oscar Vltt Is re-enforcing Ty Cobb. George Burns is handling the assign
ment with good effect for Connie Mack, Shanks Is toiling for Washington
knd Earl Smith for tho Browns. Itoth Is the next best hitter to Jackson,
.according to last season's figures. The general run of clean-up hitters In
the American Is not high. Hoblltzell hit only .257 last year and Derrlll
Pratt only .247. Heinle Zlm was second best avcrago hitter In tho National
League last season with a mark of .297.
fs
Br
rl
IS.
h
AS A sign of tho general weakness with the stick of the Wash
Xl lngton team this season, Clark Grilllth has entrjsted tho assign
ment to Shanks, u man who barely got over the .200 line last year.
His mark was .202.
Yanks Whaling Ball, but Falling Down Elsewhere
THE record of Miller Hugglns's Yankees so far illustrates the ancient
. . and well-known saying that It Is quite a feat to fly with one wing. Tho
ojd baseball bird, In fact, navigates on three Important nippers hitting.
fielding and pitching and when any one of the three Is shy the Hying Is
altogether fitful and hazardous.
f The experience of the Yanks so far proves this point. If It had never
wen demonstrated before. Whacking the old pill at a terrific clip In every
game, yet tho percentage ot wins has been sadly discounted by poor pitch
ing and bum fielding. An average of moro than ten hits per game was
made by the Yanks up to yesterday, but their win average was .373.
And as Is always the case when things are going bad, the flcklo luck
breaks against the downtrodden. Tho Yanks havo encountered this added
handicap several times, the loss of Tuesday's game being neatly In point.
tfp to tho second out In the ninth Inning Lefty Thormahlen had heaved a
no-hlt affair. But, bloole! The game was gone In the twinkling of an eye.
Our former highly esteemed Mr. Amos Strunk spoiled the tally sheet by a
dean slnglo to left, and the demon swatter, "Babe" Ruth, pinching, camo
through In Hko manner nnd then our erstwhllo side pal, Mr. Ping Bodle,
effected ono of his Justly famous spectacular mlsplays. The Spaghetti
King Is essentially a spectacular person, being colorful to tho last drop,
and when he makes an error he makes a good one. In his anxiety to double
the swift Mr. Strunk at tho plato on an easy fly to his garden he pulled a
Dave Robertson, the same being to take a simple ball on tho thumb when tho
emergency demands that the catch be followed by a quick return of the
"ball to tho Infield. Ping thus dribbled the game away amid the hoots of
Uhe populace.

k"ND as further Indication of Just how cheerful Ping must havo

Bad Actor Runs Wild and Gets Gate
WHEN It comes to making trouble, hand It to a regular race horse. The
average raco horse Is a nut, Just llko a pointer dog. It has more tem
Jfcrament than a knockabout vaudeville star. It does u good Job of run
mine wild when It Is In form, and this fact was well Illustrated at Havro
de Grace the other day when a running machino named Blrdman went up
n the air, crashed through a fence, unhorsed his Jockey, did a steeplechase
through tho stables, collided with a clothes line and splattered a week's
wash all over the scenery. Also he knocked down another horse that was
being cooled.
The result of the escapade was that the vicious beast was court-mar-laled
by the track officials, which action was made absolutely necessary
when the colored gent who was proprietor of the private laundry plant
threatened to strike unless relief was accorded.
George Wiltse Gives Meyers a Job
GEORGE WILTSE and Chief Meyers, the old Giant battery, are to be
reunited, though Hooks Is not going to do any moro pitching. Wiltse and
the Indian .have signed with Buffalo, of the International League Wiltse
manager and first baseman and Meyers as catcher. The Chief had been
tmtlcatlng at his farm at New Canaan, Conn., and had despaired of making
ay connections for the season when the offer came from his old bunkle.
wiltse went from the Giants to Jersey City as a manager, and then to
Kindlng. Only recently he announced his retirement, but evidently he recon
fculcred. Hooks Is on the hunt for more players and says he has the promise
iK McGraw to get any men who might be let out by the Giants. He may
hind either George Smith or Red Causey, pitchers, though with the cur
rent scarcity of flinging talent It would be a hard Job to walvo either out
of the majors. Wiltse has signed Manuel Baranda, a Cuban outfielder,
who playe,d around New York, and Herb Armstrong, the old Tufts College
ipJtbrtatop.

Bender wanted to enlist In the marine'

He expects to put some Rood ships on

The famous Chippewa now Is lost to

had different ideas regarding the salary
for this season and all bets were declared
off. Bender belleed he was worth a cer

sliced It almost In half. That's how the
trouble started.

By WILLIAM II. EVANS
After Charlie Hoffner, tho golf pro
fessional at the Phllmont Country Club,
called his brother Robert yesterday on
tho phone, and told him that he had cn-
3 ' listed as an apprentice seaman in mo
' naval reserves, Bob,
1 golf department at Glmbel Brothers, took
off enough time to hustle up to tho
Pi-lIIc Bulldlng3 and sign up in the
s?mc service.
Whole Family in Service
Today all three brothers, George, who
Is twenty-fle; Bob, who Is twenty-two,
and Charlie, who Is twenty-one, are in
the service of the country, George hav
ing enlisted in the Infantry last Oc
tober. He Is a member of the 3Hth
Infantry at Camp Meade. The three
brothers are the bcst-playlng golf fam

"Just watch our team climb In tho in
terscholastlc League," remarked a
Frankford High School student yester
day afternoon at Queen Lane. "Allvwe
needed was another good pitcher and
now we havo one. This boy Travis
surely showed the stuff and should win
the majority of his games In tho league
series."
The Frankford High scholar, who de
clined to mako his namo public for
social reasons, had reason to feel op
timistic, for Coach Kalkrnhngen's pro
teges showed u remarkable reversal of
form In yesterday's 2-1 victory over
Penn Charter. The Quakers were ablo
to connect for only three safe hits, two
of which camo In the final framo and
scored but one run.
Until yesterday Coach Falkcnhagan's
chief trouble has been with his pitching
staff. The entire twirling duties rested
on tho shoulders of Flitter, a southpaw.
It Is Impossible for Flitter to pitch
every game, so previous to yesterday's
contest Falkenhagan had the outfielders,
tho lnflelders and the catchers and tho
bat boy warm up.
Eleven Strikeouts
Travis showed the best stuff and drew
the assignment. Ho was nervous at
tho start, but when lie found out that
the Iutcracademlu Leaguo champions
weren't sluggers he grew courageous,
and, as a result, pitched masterly ball.
i:ieven Penn Charter bojs went out 'via
the strikeout route.
Behind the splendid pitching of Travis
tho Frankford team played high-class
ball. They fielded cleanly and came
through with a hit when It meant a
run. With two first-class pitchers, Flit
ter and Travis, tho suburban school
should furnish f,omo trouble for the
other high school teams.
Schoolboys Have New Act
"Baseball as It Is played In the bush"
Is tho latest act put on by the local
schoolboys In their scholastic ball games.
This act was first played by some gram
mar school team, but It proved to so
picullar and the parts were so easily
played that the high schools have stolen
tho act.
This latest farco Is a combination of
"Comedy of Krrors" and "Four Balls,
Take Your Base."
Hurlng the last week tho error col
umn of the scholastic games h.NS out
scored both tho hit and run columns,
while the number of freo passes usually
ran Into double figures. In the Central
High School-West Philadelphia High
game on'Tuesday the two teams made
no fewer than twenty errors. Last Thurs
day at Queen Lane tho Brown Prep
catcher alone had six mlsplays. Theso
are two examples picked at random.
18 Huns in One Inning
"iestcrday the act was put on with
great success at Sixty-third and Wal
nut stieets nnd also at Vlllanova. It
proved to bo such a howling success on
the Main Line that the Vlllanova Prep
team grew tired of running around the
bases and agreed with St. Joseph Prep
to call the game oft at tho fifth Inning.
Only twenty-five Vlllanova Prep play
ers crossed the plate In four innings.
The local pitchers Issued fourteen
passes.
Coach McCarthy's Bplscopal Academy
boys didn't havo a chance to hit yes
terday; In fact, they didn't have to.
They received sixteen bases on balls and
on several timely hits by Captain Haz

Is Golf Like Skating?
In the face of this experience I am
wondering whether a golfer can leave
his game entirely alone for n period
of months, or even a year or two. and
play at the normal pace that he enjoyed
before his hibernation. Perhaps most ot
us remember learning to skate when
boys, and trying It years nftcrward and
finding to our surprise that we hurt not
forgotten. It Is the same with swimming,
too, and some other games, but I had
always been under the Impression that
only by constant practice could a golfer
keep up his game. In years gone by I
worked hard to lay a good foundation,
and that at least ought to bo fairly per
manent. It did seem ntrange last winter to do
absolutely nothing In the way of keep

nnd bo far as the very young pros are
concerned, he and nddle Loos are among
the first four or five. Ueorge played for
years on the Woodbury Oolf Club and
there are few amateurs In this city who
play a bitter game. Hob has not figured
us prominently ns his brothers but the
sample of golf he gave at the Bala tourn
ament last year was such sua to iitamp
him as a (.plendld player. He met some
of the best amateurs In the city but ho
gave them all a tound thrashing.
Plan Golf Matches
With the two lloffncrs and Loos at
Cape May this spring, we may expect to
bee some fine golf there. With tho At
lantic City course as convenient, a num
ber of matches will probably be ar
ranged with players from this city and
from Camp Meade. At (.amp Meade
George Hoffner nnd Ed Clarey are
stationed and a match between the Cape
May Naval Jteserves and the. golfers
from Camp Meade will be arranged If
the men Involved are not rushed to
the other side.
