T ' ', "" THESAMEti A RUDE NEW YORKER SA YS THE A'S HA VE NEW UNIFORMS, BUT OTHERWISE h :. , , i 'ja THEYLOOK i ' y V fe m - SCOTT PERRY TAKES A HIGH DIVE AND OTHER WHICH IS WHEN n pitcher starts mliiliiiB down the skids, he never takes the Hllpprry journey nil by his lonesome. Before he gcta well under way eight oilier players on tils side de cide to partake of the hokum sport and all strike bottom simultaneously with thut well-known and often-mentioned dull and sickening thud. Therefore, we have ft swell alibi for the trimming banded to the Athletics by Washington yesterday. Needles3 to sav, Oriff's athletes had the better team, played better baseball, had better pitching, did better bitting and de served to win, but we will use the alibi just the same. Alibis are made to be used, anyway, so here goes. Scott Perry. Connie's pitching ace, got his cards mixed in the fourth inning and then had every appearance of a two -spot. Before that time the huge hurler was showing everything but control and curves, thus indicat ing he was preparing for the high dive, to say nothing of the furious flop. At times he could not get the ball over the plate. The opposing batters saw it first and slammed it indiscriminately. Scott also formed a pedestrian club, electing several Washlngtonlans to membership with free walks. That gave one the imprcMion that the tall twirler would take an early shower, and the dope ran true to form. Thnt terrible fourth inning is worth repeating. The gentlemen working for Clark Griffith and Hilly Uichard son took n sudden dislike to the baseballs hurled at them by Mr. Pcrr, after lied Shannon and Jim O'Neill had joined the Perry Walking Association. This di-dlke was very apparent even to Frank Mackin. of brown derby fame, nnd Harry Tighe, one of our prominent actors, who sat in the upper pavilion wondering what it was all about. The visiting athleto refused to allow the baseball to let anywhere near them nnd tried to knock it ns far Sway'us possible. They were very rough in their treat ment of the innocent sphere, but it took lots of punish ment. The batters socked It high and far, most of the balls sailing into barren territory not densely populated by local outfielders. nllFOlW the Quests were halted, ten v.ipert D i waiters faced the hard-te arising pitcher, five runs trickled over the pan and the b'asehall teas knorkrd cock-eyed. Aha the ball game Mr. Hich ardson and family chortled icith glee. Scltacht Makes Hit With Boss THIS was the first time Hilly Uichardson saw his ball club in action on the local lot. He gazed upou a nice cluster of players, learned Walter Johnson was not u shortstop, and applauded when the boys put the kibosh on the A's in the fourth and also put the game on ice. Ho had a chance to take a look at Al Schacht in action. snd Al proved to be a perfect pitcher. This bird was cap tured in Jersey City last season because anybody living In Jersey City always is willing, eager and amicus to be captured if it means n change of residence. Therefore. Al submitted without a struggle, became well acquainted with Nick Altrock and surprised everybody in the spring training camp in Tampa, FJa., when he threw the ball with his right arm Altrock still is wondering how it happened. MUM FAVORITE ! MlMOrSGOLFi ! S ...... ,- - Phila. Cricket, Minus Two Stars, Leaves Only H. V. C. C.

'Morion Cricket Club, present cham pion, captained by Mrs. Ronald H. Barlow individual champion of this city, is the favorite once more. j Merlon plays Philmont today at i Philmnut and should easily prove the r winner. Last year when all the divots were replaced and the count chalked down, it was found thut Morion had only won 7-0. The nearest rinl to Merion lust year was the Philadelphia Cricket Club, which went without defeat down to the match against Merion which ended 4-3, in favor of the Havcrfordinns. Philadelphia Cricket Club had two such stars ns Mrs. C. H. Vanderheck, ex-national cliampiou. and Miss Mildred Caverly, ex-natioual finalist, to lead off last ear, hut both these extorts ltre promenading the deck of the good ship Baltic todn. far at sou on their way to compete for the Ladies' Chumpion Mn of Croat Britain.

The president, however, had an idea Al would make good, but Vice President Richardson had to be shown. Now Schacht cau go to Wchardson's office nnd get n bale of hay or a sack of oats nny time he needs them. Wnshington presented a pretty good ball club lo the home folks. Hobby Koth rounds out the outfield beauti fully, making it one of the neediest and most aggressive outfits in the league. Ulce and Zeb Milan are good hitters nnd cover lots of ground nnd do some clever work. Joe Judge is the only veteran in the Infield, but before passing him up let's spill a few words In his behnlf. Joe is one of the best first basemen in the lengue. and there arc several who class as stars. Joe isn't flashy, but is out there every day playing great baseball, getting his share of hits and putting over some swell fielding stunts. He never has been given credit for his good work, so we might as well start handing it to htm now. Stan Harris is on second. He is a new man and seems to be getting by all right. Jim O'Neill, at short, also is a recent acquisition and fields and hits welt. He gives one the impression that he has a bum arm, but he gets the ball to first ahead of the runner although it seems he takes a wind-up. Hed Shannon, once with the A's. Is at third base nnd yesterday played a great game. THE three vcie men in the infield icorktd smoothly and look like fixtures. This should please Presi dent Griffith and Vice President Richardson. Murray to Weigh 110 Pounds JOHNNY nUKNS. manager of Battling Murray, stepped into the office this morning to get a load off his chest. He carried It all the way from Kensington, and exploded as follows: "I have been reading about this bout between Wilde nnd Murray and I want to know where you get that stuff about Wilde giving .a way nine or ten pounds to my battler. That'B all bunk. Murray isn't a heavyweight or nnything like that. He is not even a bantam. He weighed for me this morning and what do you suppose he weighed? Olvc It up? Well, he tipped the beam at 110 pounds, and what do you think of that? "I also had him down to 107 pounds and he was strong. Don't you believe it? Well, wait nnd see. That kid will surprise you. "He has been training in the mountains in Kensing ton, taking lots of road work, nnd there has been no cheating. Joe Ilorrell, ex-champion middleweight, travels with him and Murray can't do anything but work because Joe speaks his language fluently. He is in great shape, honest he is.'" TJEnUAX TAYLOIi put up a certified check for $1000 -yesterday, ichich ts Jimmy Wilde's fee for appearing in the eight-round bout in Camden.

Lack of suitable grounds for games has been one of the big handicaps to the successful operation of the league, ana the West Philadelphia and Germantown boys have experienced just what South ern High. Frankford and numerous other echnols have gone through in years pant. West Philadelphia High has nrranged to play some of the home games at the KlngsoHsing plaj grounds, but cannot secure the field at Forty-ninth and Chester avenue for postponed games. Owing to the rain tin: early part of this month 'there are many contests on the schedule which must be plued off, provldiug a field can lie secured. Tomorrow- West Phillies nnd Frankford play on the Kingsesslng grounds. Clinton Mrong, coacn ot me renn Charter School tennis team, was elated .i.lth llin vl1nr Honrefl liv his nroleffesi over est Philadelphia. The W ostium iP,irn the game nllrlght nnd will Phillies were hopeful of winning this match and the rooterH w-oro out en masse. In fact, it was one of the largest crowds that has attended a tennis match. Reports had previously reached the Quakers that the West Phillies were after them for fair and they were prepared.

Club, opened the interviewing season today at noon in his offices, at the Bourse. He gathered around him the baseball scribes of Philadelphia and the Capital City. There was much merriment, food and everything for the boys and a pleasant time was had up to the time the pqrty left for the ball game nt Shibe Park, the second contest between the Athletics and the Senators. Connie Mack, after hnving had Scott Perry pummeled into a helpless heap yesterday, decided that he would try either Naylor or Kinney to do the toss lug this afternoon. Yesterday Perry was not in shape, but unfortunately. (Vnnln did not find this out until the Wushinclon sluggers had fattened their butting averages to an alarming extent. But that is history. Connie is looking forward not backward. He believes that either N'uylor or Kinney will be able to check the one-gnme rush of the visitors. Both of these young hurlers ure in good conditions and have been showing a lot of stuff during the warm ing up process every day before the game at Shibe Park. Clark Griffith said this morning that ho would send Shnw to the mound in all probability, but that if he didn't show enough before the game ho would send Krtekson in. Walter Johnson was to have twirled yestorda) bin he has been ill for several days, and it t- 1-uibt-ful if lie will be used in un of the games against the Athletics. Of course, tbe Athletic are nwfully sore about this. Connie Mack suid today thut he was very much pleused' with the work of Miortfielder McC'ann. "He looks like the real thing," said Connie: "of course oti can't always tell right ofT the bat, but he handles himself well in the field nnd stands up at the plate like a base ball iilnjer. not like a back lot hitter.

America's hockey team, which is entered in the first big events of the Olympic games to be held this spring and summer, ar rived yesterday, none the worse for a few dilys of rather rough weather. Last night the team entered into iU first practice at the Antwerp Ice Palace. Canadian hockey players were on the side ltnss watching the practice, and expressed the opinion the Americans would be strong contenders for the bockcy title. It is planned to put the American team through doily practice until the opening game, which will be played Friday evening. Draw ings for the first pairings will be held Thursday afternoon, and the Americans are hoping to meet the Canadians early in the series. Both the American hockey players nnd individual skaters pronounced the ice in the rink excellent last night. There arc seating accommodations for only 800 spectators and the rink will be crowded to capacity. American nrmy officers stationed at the Antwerp base and casuals from the army or occupa tion ure clamoring for n chance to root for the Americans, while the Canadians will bo bficjtcd by the British army con tingent. The Americans were met on their ar rival nt the dock by the Belgian com mittee.

Wherefore, Weaver and Col lins win. Plus a nip to spare. ' Ago of Punch TIIIB seems to be the Age of the Punch in sport. At least, ability to "sock" Is the attribute of most of the drawing cards who lure the crowds out for inspection. The biggest card in baseball is Babe Ituth, the mightiest "socker" of all time. The Babe hns the punch e.f a six inch howitzer employing a double zero charge. Abo Mitchell, the British sensation in golf, is the longest hitter in the game one of those terrific wallopers who can hammer the ball fiat when he leans ncninst it. "Walter Hagen. the United States onen colt champion, is another crasher. Ilngen's gnme has the punch, his power being especially effective in iron play. Gerald Patterson, the Australian ten nis sensation, is another rugged hitter. He. too, belongs to the six-foot, 200 pound class who have bulk to throw in back of speed. Tildcn, one of the leading tennis players, i? n slashing hitter, nnd nny one who thinks that Bill Johnston's forehand doesn't enrry the punch is en titled to sit down nnd do some more thinking. Dnve Ilrrron nnd Bobby Jones, lead ing amateurs, are both crashers. ' And no one has yet invented a hnrder punch ing machine than Jnck Peinpsey. It's the age of Blooie the Kpoeh of Sock. Crash. Biff nnd Bang. The crowd Is huptiug the noise of the wallop. The Case of Kempton KKMPTON, of Yale, was a great prep school slar, one of the best in the country. In his first reason ns a Yale regular he slipped well below ex pections. but this doesn't mean that his career is doomed. For Kempton still holds these valunble requisites he has fine courage, speed, determination und added experi ence. It may be that IM!) was merely on off-year. He is out hustling this spring in April prnctice to prove that 1020 will be another matter. Ami it's no part of n certainty that 1!20 won't give him the elm nee to establish his proof. LAST season Alexander gave vent to the best record in his league so far as earned runs go. In the same way Jess Barnes Von more hall games than any other National League pitcher. Yet in opening the 1020 rntupnign both were mauled to pink pulps. The Beds peeled large patches of hide off Alex nnd the Braves hurried Barnes to the cool April shower in a few cantox. Which is merely proof that you enn't tell much about it from the first game. TRIED ONE LATELY? vwiJtutar sites 2 for 25c and 15c '" For Ruth's hits In his first game , all singles.

This loug span of hltlfn ottempts would have crncked the hWi of thft average player. But on hli twenty-fifth time up Cobb was as keen as alert and as confident, so far as sni one could tell, us If he had been gettbi his two n day. ONE reason for Ruth's micccm is till you enn't make him believe that he hasn't more on his bnt than am pitcher has on the ball. The fact that some one may strike him out Is mertlj n detail.
