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.

make good. That was in 101,, and he went ba.k to his
job in the clubhouse.
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.

Varsity men in line together with a
promising lot of youngsters from the
treslimnn squad.
Last car. Dr. .lohn Kcogh had the
freshmen turning rivals on their cars or
something like that. They breezed
through the season without a defeat mid
generally was recognized in the cham
pion first -j ear team in the F.nst. This
title was figured out by comparative and
actual scores. w
As a iiilc comparatne scores arc n
.'okc and don't mean anj thing, but this
doesn't detrnct from the calibre of the
freshmen, who really hnd an excep
tionally strong aggregation. Kveryone
of those j curlings of last year have
signified their intention of returning to
the fold when the Red and Hlue candi
dates report for practice. The squad
will leave for Ceorge School next Mon
day. , .
loe lliben. the former Central High
star, is the oulv Philadelphinn among
lh 10111 freshmen and He also is one oi

Kiben plaje'l gunnl with the freshmen
last jear and was one of the best for
ward's on the tirt defense. In 1!US he
conch, as one of the most brilliant Unc-
nipii in the histnr of the school.
Joseph is built nlong solid lines from
the neck down. There's, nothing thick
nbout his head. 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. He is speedy nnd should inuKp
n good back.
Among the other ex -freshmen who
are counted upon to give the Vnrsity
squad veterans u tough battle for berths
in the backficld. nre Eddie Fnrrcll, .dio
claims no relationship to Tommy, Poss
Miller, Lrdlitr.. ('aider, Spears and
fiove. Of these Miller is the best. The
Lebanon youth was the main ground
gnlncr on Keogh's eleven and n good
drop-kicker He is light, but he hns
plenty of speed. Farrcll also stuuds an
excellent chnine of making the regular
backficld. .
Krdllt7. is a snappy nni"tr'Bn'k nnd
..-ill mnke a cood substitute for Hex
Wrav, who was nn understudy to Kcrt
Bell last .rnr, Gove was IOrdlit's re
lief in JfilO.
Griffin Oood
The entire Varsity lino hns been
wiped out, but besides the second string
men of Inst season, Hcisman will have
the following from tho freidiman squad :
Don Griffin, center and enptain of
Keogh's team ; Lenhnm, Thurman,
Humes. Keckus, Wilson and Sweeney
nnd the ends Smith and Humboldt.
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.
Humboldt nlso is n good man, but he
will have to step faster than what he
showed last ysar to beat out cither
Captain Hud Hopper or Whitchill.

A, B. Coxc Sends Nina
to Poughkcepsie Meet
Alexander Rrlnton Coxe, the Paoli
horseman, will send n representative
collection of his speeders to the
Poughkcepsie meeting;, which opens
o' '''io list follows:
Charlotte Dillon, Nnrnnn Dillon.
Xelson Dillon, Mndam Dillon, Kstn
belln Dillon, Sister Kertha, Pctey
Harvester, Isotta nnd Conjecture.
Charlotte Dillon nnd Shtcr Herthn
both did excellent work in the Bel
mont meetlnp.
Grand Circuit entertninment Iu this
district has ended for the season. The
big parade has moved to Poughkcepsie.
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 three racing days at
tracted capacity crowds, but the" set
back in tho f-elicdulc duo to weather
conditions doubtless has caused the di
rectors some financial embarrassment.
Xo figures on the meeting we're given
out. Secretary Al Saunders was at
the shore and George Young, clerk of
the course, also was out of the city.
However, the figuies on the winning
drivers arc ready, nnd here is whnt the
pilots did :
Valentine. S4470; Walter Cox, $2788:
Fleming. $1575: McDonnld. $1575;
(Jeers. .$110.'I: White, SI 072: Hyde.
S1050; Merrill, $1020; Dodge. $!lfl0;
Rrusic, SSOO; Kdman. S500: Ernest,
S4382; Thomns, S255: Thompson, $00.
nnd Gregory & Knowles. $-15.
The meeting proved a bad one for tho
favorites. No less than ten failed to
live up to the reputations established
on other trncks on the circuit. Peter
Manning, of the Murphy stnble, after
wiunlng the first heat with Pop Geers
in the sulky, was distanced in the sec
ond heat nnd out of the rich stnke rncc.
Rifle Grenade, champion three-year-old
of the year, also neglected to tri
umph. Favouin. Harvester, Wikl
Wiki,, Great Rrittoti, Justhslmn,
(loldie Todd nnd Peter June were other
favorites who failed.
Rain has ptpved n big handicap to
Grand Circuit racing all season, ac
cording to Pop Geers. 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. For this reason, nnd es
pecially duo to the increased Interest
displayed in the harness game, the
Grand Circuit meetings arc certain to
continue.

FEW FA TALITIES IN
MAJORSPORT. 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
