Belts and Rommel Prove Aces OXK day last fall a joung person carrying a card board suitcase wandered into the Phils' park, discovered (Savvy Cravath and whispered that he was n pitcher, tinvvy looked over the self-confessed athlete, noted the youthful face, the pale blue eyes and sunburned tan hair nnd motioned to an empty locker. Thnt morning the jouth. dad in a cast-off uniform, worked out nt P.rond and Huntingdon streets and made an impression with the manager. In fact, Cravath even went so fnr its to ask his name. Then he was told to sti-k around nnd, before going home, lcme his name and addres.s. In this manner Walter lints, one of liiivvy' most promising young Dingers, got foe him-elf a job. Ketts hails from Koine village In Delaware and is making good ns a pitcher. On Friday he started and finished his first big league game, scoring an eleven Inning victory over the Pirates. In ten innings he allowed only two hits, which is pitching some. "He has the best fnBt ball I ever have seen." said Cravath this spring, "but 1 am afraid he hasn't had enough experience to do much this year." However, Garry nursed him nlong. sent him iu to finish games already lost nnd liked his woik so much that he rntred his salary. Then came the big opportunity last Friday. Kelts was selected to start the game, nnd he made good. This is n wonderful discovery, for the Phils certainly need pitchers this year. Another youngster who has taken his place with the icgulnrs Is Kd Rommel, of the Athletics, F.d Is just n kid. but that does not prevent him from heiug one of the smartest pitchers working for Connie Mack. He has won four of his last five starts and performed like a veteran. Rommel has been brought up In baseball. As n kid he worked as bat boj in Haltimore, working up to the proud position of clubhouse boy. He managed to keep busy on the ball field anil was n close obsener when the International Leaguers were practicing. i 1..-1. i. :..i. i.... i,.i.i , r ........ .,.- KM.-.. .... .u ., . ju.

Last jear he tried it again and Dunn put bun on the I pay i oil. 1 hen Newark was snort of pitchers anil Kommcl wa sent there just to get rid of him. Hd won twenty two nnd lost lifteen games, and Connie liked his work 'o much that he signed him.

Last year was only his second in football jet he showed n con siderable supply of gray matter. Any one who can leach the heights in scholastic ranks in one year must hnve at least the average amount of brains. Although Kiben has been playing the line for two year.-. Ilcismnn has de cidrd to switdw him to the backficld. He Is about five feet, six inches tall and weighs around 17." pounds, which proves thnt In is built clo-i to the ground.

Griffin, who is a former Tome Sehn.il plnyer, has won the highest kind of praise trom Ailie .Miner, who iisrn 10 tutor at Port' Deposit, nnd he probably will be the regular snapper-back. Grif fin lacks weight, but bo is fast and a bard tackier. Thurmati was the best man on the line, according to Doctor Kcogh, who stated last season that this hoy was going to make Penn students forget T,ou Little. This Ih quite an assign ment for Little was one of the best tackles ever to play on Franklin Field.

The final day of racing scheduled for the Kelmont course nt Xarberth last Saturday never was raced. Rain, nnd plenty of it, put the course in nonraeiiig shape. With only three of the five race dayR completed It in evident that the forced postponements were costly to the asso ciation.

The times have been slow nnd the poor condition of the various tracks to u great extent have militated against fast racing. The veteran driver insists that the racers are good ns those in seasons past. Good wentlicr is as cssentinl to mil sessful racing ns it is to any other out door sport entirely dependent upon clear weather.

FIELD Considering Risks in Baseball and Football Wonder Grows That More Athletes Arc Nop Injured -tit' Deatfi Hands Blow to Cleveland. i By OBATLAND RICE THICK 10 is n general law of compen sation that seems to stalk through life. This law works both' ways. When things arc breaking too smoothly you can generally look out for n jolt When things nre breaking badly there is frequently n glimmer of light just nhead. Kascbnll, in tho midst of Its greatest season, drawing its greatest crowds nnd holding grenter interest, suddenly comes upon its greatest tragedy. Wo recall no campaign vrtierc onc of the pennant contending clubs had one of its greatest stars killed in diamond nc'tion. Hay Chnpman's sudden death nut n heavy shadow over tho entire scenery of tho game, for he was not only ono of tho game's leading stars, but nlso one of Its finest sportsmen. Tho Marvel of It TIIR marvel of it Is not that, men arc killed here nnd there in both base ball and football, but that in tho major contests upon which the spotlight Is turned so few fatal accidents occur. , There havo been many minor leaguers and even n greater number killed in semipro or nmntcur contests, but the history of the 'major leagues for fifty years shows nn abnormally small num ber of fatnl accidents. When rou consider the number of big league pitchers using the speed of aJ Johnson, a Walsh or others, nnu the number of men who nro hit, the wonder grows that so few accidents result. The dentil of Byrne, of West Point, in football is one of the new fatnl acci dents, that hnve. come upon tho bettor known elevens, nnd tills was over a deende ngo. Hani Blow to Cleveland CHAPMAN'S death will be n hard blow to Cleveland. He was n great infieldcr and n fine hitter nnd always a hnrd hustler. In n physical way there is no chance to supplant Chnpman. Just what the mental effect will be upon his club mntes remains to be seen. Tlu Clcve Innd'club under Spenkcr isn't likely to quit nt nny stnge. Kffcct Upon Pitcher , THK effect upon the pitcher after hitting n batsman nnd cither killing or seriously injuring liim hrts been varied. Some years ago Kuss Ford bcancd Hoy Corhan. of the White Sox. Corhan was not expected to live. IIi condi tion was serious for several weeks. During this period Ford wns so badly upset that be was of no further use to his club. HcIost weight, lost ef fectiveness and finally had to take a vacation to build up his shattered ner vous system. He was never the samo effective pitcher after Corhan s nnrrow escape. A short while after this accident Tom Kodgers, pitching for Nashville in the "southern League, Killed Johnny Dodge, whp for a time was with both Philadel phia nnd Cincinnati. Dodge wns killed with n fast ball. which caught him squarely in the temple. But the effect .upon Itodgcrs seemed to be the exnet opposite of Ford's case. As we recall the statistics Hodgcrs then went in nnd won five consecutive shut out games, doing his finest work of the year. Hodgers's case was certainly more unusual than that of Russ Ford. At Forest Hills NKW names crop up in golf nt dif ferent nmateur championships, but when the big test is put through at. Forest HJUs In the next ten days there are likely to be no new names ndded to the list of winning stars. The prospect that nny one has of beatinc both Tildcn and Johnston is remote. Jghnston has shown his vul nerability on two or three occasions this summer, but he is nearly always at rilOTOrXAYH APOl I O 02D & THOMPSON 8T8. tr'Uh. MATINEE DAILY pniscu.r.A di:an in -Tltr.
