PRACTICE HAS MADE CARDINALS
PERFECT, SA YS RICKEY, WHO IS
PERFECTL Y PLEASED WITH CLUB
ny ROBERT V. MAXWELb
Sports Editor Kreulnr Tublio J-edter
"PRACTICE makes perfect," mused Branch Rickey,
A manager at the St. Louis ouce St. Lose Cards, nB
he watched his noble nthlotca leave the field nftcr the
1 to0 triumph 'over the Phils yesterday. "I nm begin
nine to bclicTc that's all there is to baseball, and if you
pr notice enough
p p r f e c tlon will
follow. I nm per
fcctly satisfied
with my ball club
nt present,"
Rickey has
reason to be proud
of his troupe of
toilers of the dia
mond. Ou May
If) the team was
in last place, but
now it is on4y n
fraction of n gauie
from the second
nntrb, with a good
ohauce of step
pine into the lend.
Fourteen o f t h p
last sixteen games
li uv resulted in
victories null the
winning streak
docs not appear to
In over. Twelve
of these victories
were registered on
foreign soil, which
makes the show
ing nil the more
startling. T h e
Cards now are the
i iii r immiiin iiiiiiiiiMMniiii
BRANCH RICKEY
sensation of the National League and the other clubs are
wondering when they will crack under the strain.
St. Looie can lday some Rood baseball, because, as
Rickey remarked in the opening paragraph, practice makei
perfect, lie has a well -drilled, brainy club a club
which has morale and a great lighting spirit. It also
works according to the Rickey theory of baseball, which
for the first time has been givcu n thorough tryout.
Down in Brownsville, Tex., Inst spring I had an op
portunity to watch thi Cards training for the 1020 cam
paign. It wasn't easy work, for the men were called nt
0:30 n. m., had breakfast nt 7. donned their togs nnd
were out on the ball field nt 0:.10, prncticcd until noou,
had lunch and returned for further exercise at U:HO p. m.,
and called it n day at 5 p. m. Rickey never told his men
to turn in early. They did it without being told.
HOWEVER, they turned W of baseball and the
results nre beginning In shotr. The club plays'
great baseball and there, always are a couple of men v.
in every plan. The team work is perfect, ichiph
jiroues the value of hard practice.
Eppa Is Good, but Haines Wins
EPPA RIXEY hurled one of the best ball games in his
long and varied career yesterdny. He had ay the
stuff of an Alexander and all the control of n Plank, but
he lost to the Cards 1-0. The answer it that young
Jesse HaincH, who twisted 'em for th aliens, had some
thing on bim.
There have been n lot of well -pitched games on local
ball lots, but few. if any. compare with the remarkable
exhibition given by Mr. Haines before the perspiring and
later rain -chilled crowd yesterday.
He let our Phils down w-ith thrre hits and he pnlled
up the Cards to within a few points of second place. But
that's not nil. It was his second consecutive shut-out
and his. fourth victory in a row, which isn't bad a'tall
for a person who just has broken into the majors.
Young Mr. Haines has been creating a trifle more
than n stir in baseball circles this campaign. In fact, it
would not bo going too far to say that he is the find of
the 1020 season. Rickey hauled him from Kansas City
last year and he has won five games and lost three for
the Card boss.
It looks as if Jesse, who claims no relationship to
James, has shaken off all etago fright or whatever it is
that irritates nnd bothers newcomcrs(in the big leagues.
A LL he has done in his last four panics is to tcin
them all and pitch twenty-five scoreless innings .
m .luceaMi'oii.
Here Is the Dope on Jesse
LAST Saturday Jesse turned back tho Glanta with no
runs ami only five hits. Ou June 8 he trimmed the
Dodgers 32 nnd permitted hnlf a dozen blows. The Inst
seven innings of his Robin rout were scoreless, so that
lie lms not nllowcd nn alien to dent the homo disc in his
last quarter-century frames-.
Back In the early part of the month' on June 2, to
he exact Haines relieved Elmer Jacobs against the
Pirates unij gained the decisiou in the fifteenth round.
He hurled six nnd one-third sessions and permitted only
four bits. In thirty-three chapters he has been hit
eighteen times, which is n bit more than one-half hit per
inning. Some record, what?
But to get back t.o yesterday's pastime. Fletcher,
Rawlins and 'Witherow ucre the only Tails to do puy
thing ngalnst the new Cardinal stnr. 'Fletcher connected
with n doubU; nnd the other two contributed singles.
There were only live clouts made off Eppa Rixcy. but
just ouo of them wns enough to decide the issue. TJint
wns a circuit wnllop off Austin McHenry's bat in the
fifth. The blow carried the bull hnlf way up into the
left field bleachers.
nOOEliS nORXSPY u-ns back in the Cdrdinal
Jl line-up after being trathped an the head .by a
thrown ball. Rogers exhibited his oldtime pep and
his fielding had more than a little to do tcith the
Rhil-s' defeat, ichich, incidentally, was the fourth
straight. He hall one hit out of four times up.
Fletcher Is Credit to Game
ART FLETCHER, our most recent Bhortstop, left
many friends in New York when be left to take up
his new job. Hero is what Joe Vila, the Gotham sport
sage, has to say.:'
"Fletcher long will ba remembered by his army of
friends in New York. He gnve his best to McGrnw nnd
took bis medicine like a man. He fought like a tiger on
the field nnd knew how to gt the goats of his enemies.
Yet he is n clean-cut. honorable gentleman and n credit to
baseball. . As a member of the Phillies he will prove n
valuable man."
Fletcher nlrcndy has proved himself n great asset to
the homo club. Ho hns Instilled pep iuto the players and
the infield has been working more smoothly thau ever
before.
Ruth on Road to Record
BABE RUTH connected with his nineteenth homer
yesterday and now is but. ten wallops away from the
record he established Inst yenr. This is n wonderful per
formance wIipii one realizes the senson is only' two months
old, three nnd one-half to go. The big boy should estnb
Hh n record this year which will stand for nil time. He
caiily is the star of our gvat national pastime this season.
Our A's Sinking Deeper
OUR A's perpetrated something yesterday which is
stronge nnd unusual. They connected with eighteen
hits for twenty-five bases nnd lost a ball game to the
Browns. Every day Connie, is getting a firmer hold on
last place.

By i,oms ii
THE all-star boxing program put on
at Shibc Park by Battling Levinsky
looked very good ou paper, but thnt's
about all. Tho enrd originally wns
scheduled for "VVednesdny night, but
it was postponed beenusp of rnin until
last night when it rnined again nnd now
it's all off. Several of the boxers be
came impatieut, convinced Promo
ter Battling Levinsky thnt they couldn't
stav around town another day because
of other bouts booked, nnd rnthtjr thnn
disappoint the local followers of the
sport with substitutes Levinsky decided
to cancel the show.
"This would have been my first ex
perience as n promoter." said Levinsky
todnv. "I know, and am quite sure
thnt the fans in Philadelphia -would
acree with me that tho show I hnd'
arranged was the best of the season,
but I was not going to givo them any
substitutions. Rather thau -put on nny
one other than the stars I had billed
I decided to call off nil bets."
In canceling bis show. Levinsky had
to dig down deep into his .ieans. Ex
penses for seven of the eight boxers
had to be paid, ndvertising costs, and
incidental expenditures had -to be
covered, but rnther than disappoint the
fans of Philadelphia Mr. Levinsky de
cided to be the loser so thnt fnns in
Philadelphia would not bo on the short
.Inhnnv Wilson, new middleweight
champion of the world, wns the only
one of the eight boys who refused to
uccept his expenses from Boston.
"What do I owe," asked Levinsky.
"Not a cent." wns the comeback from
Wilson. "I came down here to show
Philadelphia fans that I nm a real
champion. I vnn readily see thnt the
show cannot be put ou. nnd the only
thing I regret is that I cnu't go on.
It means only n matter of a short time
before I will box in this city, nnd then
the fnns will see for themselves thnt I
enn bax that I am a better man thnn
Mike O'Dowd."
Then Mr. Levinsky approached Mar
tin Killilca. manager of Wilson, but
he, too. refused to be recompensed for
Wilson'-s expenses from Boston nnd re
turn. Angle Ratner. matched to meet Wil
son, is scheduled to box in Rochester,

TTOW do you stand?
Wo have no reference, In the
nboro Inquiry, to your views upon tho

Our query Is entirely physical, with
refcreneo to your position in the act of
swinging n baseball hat or a golf club.
For not even tho leaders stand any

Just as they nssumo various grips upon
a bat or club.
The, Case, or Ruth
TJUTII, jn swinging a bat, stands
v fairly close to the plate. You may
have observed the'stralght line his two
feet mako with the right foot in front.
But in swinging at a golf ball Ruth
stands abnormally far away. In ad
dressing the, ball tho too of his club
lacks an inch or two of reaching the
ball,, even with his nrrms extended.
He has to reach for his drive, but he
finds that In this way he can get
greater distance,
Ouirnct, is another who stands well
back from the ball. Ouirnct, in fact,
stands almost as far nwny as Ruth,
having to reach well nut. hofYirn cnn.
nccfing wl,th the club head. '
Jnis undoubtedly helps to -givo the
Boston stnr greater distance, but It
nlso accounts in n measure fcr the
uncertainty of his tee shots. Both at
Bracburn in tho open nnd nt Oakmont
In the amateur, Ouimet had most of his
trouble from tho tee, whero he was
inclined to hook or pull at stated In
tervals. .
Other Instances
JOB JACKSON nt bat stands quite a
bit like Ruth. Ruth admitted ro
ccnlly that ho hod partly copied Jack
son's position at the plate.
Kceler. with hjs choked bat, hugged
the plate ns closely as he could get.
whereas Napoleon Lnjoie always stood
fairly well back, preferring to be no
placed that he-could step Into tho ball.
Lnjoie also stood near the back of the
batter's box.
Tris Speaker has ono of the most
comfortable looking attitudes at bat
known to the game. Speaker's feet are
solidly plnntcd and fairly well apart.
He-.alwnys looks set for a wallop.
Cobb's feet are a bit closer together,
but not ns close as Ruth's. Tho two
feet are more tipon n line in place of
one coming up back of the other.
The Mathematical Stance
JACK McDERMOTT, one of the
greatest of nil American homebred
golfers in his day. bad n mathematical
stance.
McDermott hnd his feet well apart
for n drive or nny full iron shot. As
the distance to the hole decreased tho
distance between Mt'Dormntt s feet de
creased in proportion. His feet were
fnirly well together on a short mashic
shot, 'only an Inch or two apnrt for a
chin shot nnd heel to heel on n putt.
In this way". McDermott. who had
unusual mathematical intuition, could
rernlate his stance to the evelnsh.
