exhibition pntnev. Manner and flub owners, howrrer, havp n hnblt of
booViiiR ibtr in tho nlfnlfa bolt on off dajn, not no much to give the boys
needed cxm-lsr, but to out down expenses. Small-town crowds contribute
freely, nnd n .one as they nri lu the niooil they will be entertained.
I.not Morula j n an oft dny in tho Mr leagues. The eastern team were
traveling westward and it was vlee versa with the western athletes. There
fore the trip was broken up as mueh ns possible. The Yankees played in
Toronto nnd the Clil'-rifso fiibi gave an exhibition in New Castle, Pa. Other
clubs did not piny beenue they were traveling nnd couldn't find tho time.
One of the tnot important persons on the day of an exhibition game Is
the croundkeeper of the mnll town rnrk- He takes ft special pride in mani
curing the diamond and hn It half-soled and heeled, to say nothing of cleaned
and presed. for the or-rnslon. tie believes he Is as good if not better than
any other groundkeeper in the world, and if he does not give himself a big
boost it i because he lin loekjaw.
For more thnn twenty years the soil expert had been working on the ball
field in New Castle. Pn. In that time he became acquainted with every blade
of grnvs. even bump on the Infield nnd knew their past history.
When It' became known that the Cubs would piny the loeal club the
gTOUtidkeeper, who answered to the name of Friday, worked harder than ever
before, nnd when .lohnn Kvcrs and his troupe trotted on the field Friday
ias first to greet them.
"What do jou think of our ball grounds?" he asked Kvers.
"Don't know jet.' nns-wered Johnny wearily. "Wait until we play on
them." Johnny had been on many diamonds before nnd refused to commit
himself.
After the National Leaguer finished their Infield practire Friday again
wus on the job.
'Now what do you think?" he inquired anxiously. "Ain t it the best
jou ever aw outide of the big league? I've been working for twenty yours
to get it in "hnpe nnd I know you appreciate it. And that Is something," he
added; "the folks here don't."
"Well." replied F.vers. "the park i not so bad not so good but not
bad. You might have done good work and thoc twenty years-have not been
Trnfcted."
T.V prcrh mode Friday feel much better and he left the field, his
face vreaihed in smiles, but promised faithfully to return. '
Friday Came Back
THE ball gume was about to start when Friday came baek. He had washed
hi face, found a readv-made necktie some place nnd was all dolled up.
"Looka here, Johnny." he said confidentially to Evers, "I want you to
do something for me. These guys here don't know how good I am nnd I
want to show them up. 1 want you to take this," nnd he dug into a trousers
pocket nnd handed over a ten-dollar bill.
What's It for?" nked Evers. "Want to buy the game or something?
"No." was the r-ply. "Just give It to the umpire."
Evers was puzzled. "Bribe the impire?" he asked.
"Naw. Just give it to him. and in the fourth Inning have him call me
to the home plate, make a speech and present It to me. That's all. Just a
present from myself to myself and nobody knows about It but us."
Evers railed the umpire, handed him tho ten and his umps placed It
carelessly in his vest pocket. Then the game began.
Frldnv. in order to make blmelf ns inconspicuous as possible, paraded up
and down in front of the grand stand. Nobody saw him except the audience
and he soon becam- a landmark. His boggy trousers, worn at half mast, the
bright shining faco and the new necktie furnished what might be called
local color.
At the start of the fourth Inning the umpire took off his mask. looked
around and halted th parade. Beckoning to Friday he jelled politely :
"Hej, jou! Come 'ere!"
"Who. me"'" inquired Trlday innoeently. "Do you mean me?"
"Yes. you"' replied the umps.
"Ain't th"re some mistake?" asked the groundkeeper. blu'hing becom
ingly. "Surely you don't mean ME."
"Come over and quit yer klddln'." retorted the monarch of all be sur
reyed. nnd Friday, hat In hand, walked to the homo plate. He was all get to
hear hl praies sung and retire gracefully nmid the plaudits of the multitude.
"Hero, take this," orated the umpire as he handed him a bill. "Now
beat it cud lot the game go on !"
Khoitl afterward Evers received a visitor on the playing bench. It wa
Friday, and he had a desperate look in his eyes.
"Say, Johnny," he shouted, "remember what I gave you at the start
of the game?"
"Yes." replM Johnny; "it was a ten-spot. Why do you ask?"
"Look what I got back." mourned Friday, as he showed a one-dollar bill.
"Get out of hers:" yelled Johnny excitedly. "Don't try to work that
old flim-flam on roc." And Friday made n hasty exit.

SO MANY bizarre things c rurred in that weird and ghastly bateball game
up at tho Phils' vnrd vesterday that only a few of the mot prominent
can be nelerted for meditating purposes. In the first place, the Cubs' victory
by the basketball riv:tit of If) to 5 was a scoring record for the sensou in the
major league, nn.! incidentally snt the Phils staggering down n few more
points, but thev ?r still oi.t of the cellar, thanks to the Giants, who trimmed
SI. I.ouis ." to 1
Twenty. setrn U n 'or of runs for one game, hut ll'ur figure isn't in it
with the bas hits registered. When the old Hurr"u machine had done Its
work the ticker showed twenty-one blows for the Tubs nnd ten for our boys,
n total of thirty bae hits And there were nine two-base hits, one triple
and two home runs bv Wrlghtstone and Cy Williams, making nn extra base
total of seventeen find a total base slugging figure of forty-seven.
Hitting the ball fnr u total of forty -eight bases is a big act for any two
ball clubs in an afternoon, but isn't nny worse than having to run out thoss
base lilts. There are ninety feet between bags, so that the batters running
out their hits yesterday covered 4.""0 feet of territory, which reduced is 1440
yards, just .120 yards short of n mile. Just stop, look, listen nnd consider.
Batters running almost u ini'e in one game on base hits alone!
So much for Mug acquainted with Al Munro Alms
Next we have with us one Charley Deal, third-sacker de luxe if we judge
htm by yesterday's performun'e. Charley was at bat four times, nnd nil he
did wan to get a single and three doubles. Not a had afternoon's work for a
veteran hitting in seventh place on the ,.ub Four of Charley's club brethren
bmmed out three hits each, and qurr as it mny seem, Flnck, the Cubs'
lead-oft nrtlst, was the only member of his tribe who did not register n sjfc
snack during the P. M
' TUE Phillies' game had any redeeming feature yesterday tf Mi
the hitting of Cy Williams, wlio pushed out a home run and tun
nngle in four frtpt up. Cy had just been dropped, too, from third
place tn the batting order to sirth. ihntnno that a shift often help.

Favorable Draw
Pome are sad over the fact that this
teems n lop-sided distribution with the

The preliminary matches arc at eighteen

nn was the ball out-of-bounds, one
stroke or two. It npp'ars niieij tnai
the old rule, for loss of distant p only,
will be played extensively hereabouts.
Local clubs, for their member events
over the week-ends, would like to make
a definite ruling. It doesn't seem as
though the stem of mixing local ruling
with the national edict is going to ho
a huge success.

CARPENTER IS
MONEYGETTER
French Idol Has Accumulated
$200,000 Since Signing of
the Armistice
HAS HAD 5 K. O.'S IN ROW
What May Happen
In Baseball Today
By LOUIS II. .TArrrc
There is no doubt thnt (ieorges Car
rentier is a great money-getter. Tt
hasn't tnkon the French idol long to
recoup some of his losses because of
the war. In nbout two years the July
- opponent of Champion Jack Pempscv
has raked in something like 5200,000
nnd he still is going strong, for Ills
bout with the heavyweight title-holder
will bring the Frenchman n small
fortune.
Cnrnenticr emerged from the war
virtually ruined financially. He was
not only penniless, according to re
ports, but also wns in debt to the
amount of tevernl thousand dollars. All
of fieorces' mlnlnir nronertv in Lievln.
the town of his birth nnd just outside
of Lens, was destrood during the
European turmoil. While in the serv
ice Cnrpentier pnrted with whnt sav
ings he had in expenditures for his
mother nnd family.
Shortlv nfter the Armistice was
signed Cnrpentier knocked out THck
Smith in eight rounds, and IiIb share
of the purse for this bout nbout evened
up debts of the Frenchman. Then
enmo that one-round knockout victory
over Joe Beckett In London, nnd from
that time Cenrges has earned some
thing like :i,000.000 francs, or nbout
$200,000.
Besides Smith and nccKctr, inr
pentier has scored three other knock
outs in n total of the mntches since
the Armistice. In other words,
Georges has put his opponents to sleep
nt nn average of 1.000. Blink Mc
Closkev. Orundhoven and Bat Levin
sky In turn were felled for the couut
of ten.
Most of Cnrpentler's new fortune has
been trade 'through his attraction in
exhihiMnn, matches. Before boxing
Levinkv. the French marvel made a
tour of the United States nnd after his
fvMt, with tho Philadelphia light -hea
weight. Georges appeared in
sparring set-tos In Belgium, Holland.

SI. I)uls, Mo.. Mny 12. Mr. Mc
Oillicuddy and his band of near tail
enders were all set today to giro tho
Browns a Incinp; this afternoon. JiuIr
injr from the brand of ball they put up
yesterday it wouldn't he surprising
either to sec them come through, for
those men looked like the real stuff nnd
it is the opinion here that as soon ns
the hoys "find" themselves they will
make some of the other more expensive
enstK hustle. Their work made n hlu
"it with the St. Louis fans yesterdny
when the home club had n tough battle
bent tc visitors one to nothing.
Itoy Moore, Mack's star lefthander,
hurled brillinnt ball nnd allowed only
three hits Of these three hits only one
was regular, the other being scratches.
Hut at that the Browns mnnnged to
put over n run in the second inning.
IIitn b Williams nnd .Tacohson came

But the greatest lest, the most dra

forty-one-hole duel between "Chick"

Jliere had been very 111 tin difference

thirty. third hole was played, with the
match Mill nil square, gnllerics following
other matches combined nround this
contest.
.. At..tie hfrty-fotirti hole, which is
thn difficult sixteenth, calling for nn
accurate drive nnd a long pitch over
ii deep ravine, the fireworks started
that were to last for eight successive
holes.
Lewis, after topping his drive here,
finnlly sunk n ten-foot putt for a win,
Un the next hole he sunk another ten
foot putt for a half and so Marred for
the thirty-sixth hole 1 up.
His long tee shot split the mlddhs nnd
his line iron struck the green nnd just
trickled over, resting upon nn incline in
good position.
In the meanwhile "Chick." nfter
hooking to n trap, hooked his ciosd
shot into n grove of ancient oak, the
ball bounding bnck of the road a full
ninety yards from the green, whciu it
rested heavily In thick grass.
Here was Evans lying bndly ninety
yards from the green In 2. with LcwU
at the edge of the green in 2 nnd
Evans had to win tho hole to remain
In the tournament!
"Chick's" Miracle
AT THIS point "Chick" played a
f- brillinnt mashie niblick shot to the
fast, sloping green with the ball stop
ping twelve feet beyond the cup. leav
ing him nn nlmost impossible side hill

. J.ew is chipped bnck hole high, the
pall curling six feet below the cup,
leaving n much easier attempt.
"Chick" nt that moment was a 10
to 1 shot. Hut he started his putt on
n line four feet above the cup and it
filthily Hopped in, entering the top tide
of the tin.
Iwis then missed by less thnn an
inch and the battle moved forward. On
the first extrn hole a thirty-foot putt bv
Lewis hit the back of tho cup anil
jumped out. "Chick" then missed u
live-footer.
On tho next hole, the thirty-rlghth,
Kvnns second was fifteen feet from the
cup, while Lewis was in the rough on
n steep slope beyond the green with
a shallow intervening trench.
Ho had a hopeless shot to play from
this position to a fast, sloping grfen,
but by home miracle stopp.-d the ball
within ten Inches of the cup for a par 4.
At the thirty-ninth hole Lewis sliced
off to the woods nnd from there plnyed

lingering agony. Thn gnllery, which
had been nlternatel.v cheering and
yelling and then remninlng tensely
silent, massed around the big green In
another trance. Lewis elected to use
a midiron for his long approach putt
nnd the effort left him eight feet be
yond tho pin. His putt for a par -1
and victory glided gently a half inch
to the left and "Chick" was Mill in
the hunt.
Tho forty-first came near bringing a
double collnnse. Both were in trouble
on their drives nnd both were thort
