Jehn "Heg" Miller, of Beck Valley, In., also was missing when the roll

Stranger Leeks Like Dangerous Pitcher
RAL1'H.SPENCEB Is a stranger and looked upon as a dangerous pitcher.
He arrived en Saturday and, In order te keep his visit n secret, went te
the courts nnd started te pitch. In n short time a big crowd gathered nnd
i Ralph admitted he was ubeut te enter the tournament. He also snld he tried
te get here In nn airplane, but the propeller broke when he get in nnd he had
te make the trip en a train.
Ralph consented te be Interviewed after winning all of his matches ves
terday. "Hew long have you been pitching?" we nsked.
"I've been pitching for twenty years," was the reply.
"Hew old are you?" was the next question.
"Twenty-eight," he answered quickly.
"Then you rnufct have started at an early age?" we guestied
"Yes, I did," said the star pitcher from Tltcher, Okln.
The big event was ushered in with pomp, ceremony nnd ether things.
Dr. E. C. Bench, official refee. gave the contestants their final instructions,
told them te break clean and net hit in the clinches. He also bald that any
guy who uses phony horseshoes will be severely dealt with. He made a
thorough inspection of every shoe.
After this was done, the most repulnr Mayer In Flerida and ether States,
Frank Fortune Pulver. stepped Inte the nrena. Hlzrenncr was clad in the
regulation scenery which adorns municipal officers In this section of the
country. He were a Palm Bench suit, white shoes and a straw hat. He
only removed his hat when he addressed the crowd, which filled every inch
of space In the amphitheatre.
His speech was geed, only the audience didn't hear much of it. Then
he picked up four gilded shoes nnd prepared te open the tourney like the
Mayer of New Yerk opened the World Series last fall. Hlzzenner posed
te threw the first shoe and it was net a howling success. He threw three
mere and the nearest he came te the stake was eighteen inches. This was
fortunate, because Jehn Ledwlck, world's champion publicity manager, placed
hla new straw mackln en the stake nnd dared him te hit It.
Although five athletes came through without n reverse vesterday, the wie
crackers say that the real contestants for first prize are Spencer, Davis nnd
Fred Brust. Fred wen the first tourney In 1010, and is in rare form this
year. His pitching in the early games attracted lets of attention.

Phil Douglas
PIRATES MAY GET- HURLERS
Twe World Scries heroes are being
peddled through the baseball mnrkct.
hut they won't be sold here. Neither
will thev be traded te our fair city.
Jess Barnes and Phil Douglas, dream
ing ever two'cenauests In the 1021 clas
sic and promoting nmbltlens ns te their
11122 salaries, have awakened te the
realization that instead of being catered
te by the Giants, they hnve been plnced
en the auction block. 'This was an
nounced by the New Yerk officials yes
terday.
Then came the sequel. According te
the rumors uleng newspaper row In the
big town, our Lcp Meadows would be
shipped te Father Knickerbocker nnd
Douglas and Barnes would wear Phil
He uniforms next season.
Wlllinn) F. Baker, president of the
Phillies, was asked about the rcnert.
nnd he spiked It se viciously thnt It
crumbled- Inte tiny bits.
"ion will de me a persenul favor,
said the Phils' boss, "if you will deny
thnt report in just as strong terms ns
you can. I no sooner get one mlx-up
settled than they start another one.
"Lee Meadows is NOT en the mar
ket and especially net for any cast
off material that the New Yerk club
may have."
I. luiucstiennbly the denial Is em
phatic. Dcnjlng trades Involving Meadows
and battling te prevent ether clubs from
tampering with his stnr hurlcr are two
jobs that nre demanding- considerable
time from the Phils' chief. At the
schedule meeting In New Yerk last
week, he brought charges of tampering
ngalnst the Brooklyn and St. Leuis
clubs.
The proposal te sell .Barnes and
Douglas is n distinct surprise te the
baseball world. Beth had geed sea
sons last year, nnd each wen two games
In the Werltf Scries. Charles Stone Stene
ham, the president of the Giants, de
nied one rumor te the effect' that the
proposal was mnde merely te frighten
the pitchers into signing. He clnlms
thnt he has received several attractive
offers nnd will announce' his choice to
morrow. Anether report, net yet repudiated,
Is that the two will be sent te Pitts
burgh In exchange for Wilbur Cooper.

Displacing the Leaders
AS BOMB COO earnest athletes point
their beaks In the direction of
Southern training camps, the proba
bility of displacing the two leaders
doesn't seem any tee roseate te some
450 of the marching sons of swnt.
The Giants, strong enough last season
te annex a World Scries, have gained
Greh nnd lest Burns. .
As a fine infielder Is mere vniuame
than a fine outfielder, they ere no
wenkcr. nnywey.
fhn Vnnlra ntrenff enench te Win On

lest Kutli and Mcusei ter nvc wcciw.
But with Scott supplanting Peekln

tional pinching stars ln Jenes nnd
BuRh. , ., ,
And the addition of .Tenes nnd Bush
for bIx months will mere than offset the
nbsence of Huth nnd Meuscl for five
weeks.
Se, te judge from the early signs,
displacing the two leaders will call for
unexpected strength en the part of
certain challengers new hammering at
the temple.
