told him te go in there and use it. After a brief examination, it was dis
covered that the fork hand was NOT se geed. That gave him an excuse
experiment with the open-face plumbing in the clubhouse, which is slang
for an early shower.
Lefty was great while he lasted. The Bosten players watched him depart
with tears in their eyes, for he was the best player en their side. Wcinert
would threw the ball nt the plate nnd some butter would knock it back at
him, if he could reach it. A pleasant time was being had by the visiting
iretnen nnd they hoped he would stick around for a couple of dnys.
Irving Wllhclm, however, Is n crnfty manager. He is a very intelligent
gent and knew better than any one else that his outfielders were net yet In
condition, nor were they strong enough te retrleve Lefty's pitches without
the aid of taxicabs. Therefore the sorrel -topped slinger was completely
rased before the outposts sank for the third time.
In ether words, the pitching In the first two nnd n portion of the third
Innings can be blamed for the sudden plunge downward. Welnert did the
beat he could, but It didn't mean nnythlng. Whenever he lecnted the plate,
an alien would bust the ball en the nose and start personally conducted tours
.around the bases. During his brief term In office he allowed three hits
'and walked four. lie did net Issue any mere passes because he was heisted
while the heisting was geed.
Lefty contributed a pair of lovely errors in the second inning which
caused his downfall. First he tried te pick up Ferd s grounder with his feet
aad then failed In an attempt te drop kick. Shortly afterward, he took aim
aad threw te first base, but somebody moved the bag and he almost killed a
. couple of warm-up pitchers in the bull pen.
ipHlS does net mean VTeinert is a bum pitcher. Far he it from that.
IFc all have our off days, only Lefty's teat tcorte than that.
MarquarcCs Debut Is a Huge Success
BOSTON deserved te win the ball game, because Richard W. Mnrquard,
'highly talented left-hander, was in rare form and kept the home boys
off the sacks. Up te the eighth frame, only five hits were made nnd only one
counted In the scoring column. The Rube made geed in his debut ns n Brave
and leeks as if he would have a geed year.
However, the Phils did net leek se bad, even In defeat. The team kept
en hustling, played snnppy baseball and was fighting bitterly at the end.
They showed n spirit which has been missing for years nnd every one was
perfectly batisfied.
Pitching wen the first two contests nnd pitching lest yesterday's game.
The only crreri of the day were made by Wcinert nnd that lets the ethers out.
Wilhelm had a chance te work his reversible outfield and It wns net such
a bad switch. Lee King played left field and Cliff Lee replaced Curtis Walker
la Tight. Lee was the local here, whatever that means. He registered the
first run in the fourth after Kicking a real home run. That wallop will be
remembered as one of the longest homers that ever stayed inside et the
(rounds.
Lee stepped up, swung at the first ball nnd met it solidly. The bulb
tailed in dead center and Powell ran back. He stepped at the wall and looked
up curiously te see when it finally would land. It struck the balcony of the
.clubhouse, bounced and landed in somebody's pocket. Lee nlse connected
J with two singles, but" they didn't count.
J ', The Phils started te whack the slants of Marquard In the eighth and
ninth innings, but a pair of beautifully executed double plays ruined the
batting rallies.
rHE series ends today and the Phils cannot finish teerse than even.
JIubbell has been saved up for the occasion, and Jehn Watsen, who
, once teas a member of the Athletics, tcill toil for the Bosten nine.
Larry Kepf Makes a Sensational Catch
LARRY KOPF played a better game at short than at any ether time and
also connected with a pair of hits his first of the year. Larry starred
in the field and pulled the sensational stuff In the sixth inning which killed n
batting rally and ruined what was left of the afternoon for the home folks.
Bapp and Lee singled and were perched en first nnd second.
Williams came up and hit a line drive between short and third. It looked
like a safe hit, but Kepf ran back, made a leap sideways and made n back
handed catch. Had the ball sailed into the outfield, Rapp surely would have
acered and Lee would have gene te third.
Cliff Lee also made a great catch. In the third he ran ever te center
ield te catch Ferd's long sacrifice fly. Our right fielders in the past seldom
wandered out of their territory for fly balls, because they never could get back.
Heydler Predicts Big Year in Baseball
JOHN A. HEYDLER, president of the National League, itneised the
game. His presence acted like n tonic en the three umpires nnd they
showed lets of pep during the afternoon. Charley Rlglcr put en his stuff with
many gestures, Barry McCerralck was quite active at third nnd Pfirman
performed well behind the plate. The latter is n new man nnd prebablv will
tick.
"Baseball is in for another big year." said President Heydler. "The
crowds at the opening gnmes were above the average nnd since then the at
tendance has been very geed. The National League race should be Interesting,
because Brooklyn seems te have a great team nnd the Phils nnd Cubs are net
se weak as was expected. Cincinnati hasn't had a chance te dhow whnt It can
de, but Pat Meran will have his club up there fighting before long.
tt
1I7J5 WILL have five or six pennant contenders, and tha
" make our pennant race very interesting this summer."

using his weed en all occasion with
the same old baseball swing that
had socked many a home run In bis

The match was plnyed when

Argentine Heavyweight Admits
He Needs Experience Before
Challenging Dempsey
MAY TAKE A YEAR OR TWO
By LOUIS H. JAFFE
LUIS FIRPO is going te be world's
heavyweight champion. He says se
himself, and what favors the nltitudl nltitudl
neus Seuth American is the mere fact
that he is net in any hurry te meet
Jack Dempsey.
The Buenes Aires heavyweight has
had two bouts in the United States.
Beth ended In knockouts ever mediocre
boxers, showing himself off ns n game
and hnrd-punchlug prospect. Otherwise
Firpo is crude he has lets te learn and
mostly needs experience.
Firpo speaks no English. He held
conversation with the American nennlc
through his manager, who also is from
irKt-iiiinu. in an interview wim aawin
C. Hill, of New Yerk, Luis said :
"I am going te make mv home in the
United States. Seme day I may go back
te Argentina nnd te beautiful Buenes
Aires, but net for a long time. I must
stay and work nnd lenrn- te the one end
of beating this superman of America,
who persons say cannot be beaten. Well,
I shall show them but no hurry.
"It wouldn't de nt all new. The
champion has tee much experience nnd
skill for me nt present. But in a year,
maybe two. I think I shall be ready
for him. and I honestly beliec I can
bent him.
A College Graduate
Hew did I begin te fight, and whv?"
he
snld In replying te questions put
through his interpreter-manager. "Well
t wns going te college yes. I'm a col
lege graduate and can speak three lan
guages, although net English ns yet. I
regret te say when n troupe of Ameri
can lighters visited Buenes Aires. In
the let were Harry Willis, Sam Lang
ford, Kid Lewis und a d07.cn ethers. I
went te most of their exhibitions nnd
get se enthusiastic ever the came that
1 1 couldn't keen out.
i '"I went into training, took lesions
nnd many hard blows from professional
boxers, and finally took up the ilng
career. In the meantime, though, I wer
graduated. My family, which Is well
known In Buenes 'Aires, did net like my
becoming a professional pugilist but
after a while they became reconciled
and my four brothers, I believe, arc new
rather proud of my exploits."
"Yeu leek nlmest tee geed nntured te
become a champion scrapper," was said
te him. .
"Oh, don't let that werrv jeu," he
returned. "When 1 get in the rlntr nml
I the excitement of battle fires my bleed
I I nm u different man. I get a kind of
Minttle rage, which makes me llercelv
determined te heat down the ether mnn.
m,t tlmt 8tl11 leaves me cold nnd run-

that way much, but you bee what I

Leeks Lilie Dempsey
Firpo leeks oddly like Dcmpsev him
selfthat Is te ray, there Is n kind of
genernl resemblance in thWr ' sweithy
complexions, their tdiecks of coarse,
uiacK nuir, iiieir rniuvr large anil hnl
llant black eyes and in their general1
make-up n little mere massive, though
nctually weighing Ichh than the am
bitious youngster from Seuth Amer
ica. In conversation he lins decidedly an
amlable oxpremlen for n bunlnes man
of the ring, and he smiles frequently,
easily nnd brilliantly.
"My nationality?" he asked. "Well,

Public Gelf Links
Kilb one's European Trip,
Strict Referees in Soccer
HOW te give Its inhabitants recreation, in these parlous times of dally TC(
berles, subway Jams and ether municipal shortcomings is werrjiy
New Yerk. ,
ItB public courses were opened yesterday with a Jam ei 600 wishing te Ut
off en each of them. A private ctub tan scarcely handle 200 in a day.
Philadelphia is worse off by far than New Yerk with only one public Unit,
Cobbs Creek Is se crowded that last Sunday a player deposited his bag at Tjij
en the first tec, went te church and then dinner, returned te the course ad
about an hour later his bar was first in line.
A committee was picked about a month age te cheese ether sites for pnbllj ' ,
links here ''-
The dear, old public, with the golf
ter us report. ,
FIANCE has new yielded the point that it Is willing the clay court
tennis championship of the world be contested for at another place
than St. Cloud; In the land, that is, of the nation which wins the tllU.
New all concerned are waiting te hear from Wimbledon.
Klftane Would Rather Act Than Bex
OVER ln the "Old Country'! Johnny Kllbane is attempting te.arrangt tot
theatrical appearance In Paris. But the French people may threw a wreath
in the works by Insisting that the featherweight champion engage in a ml
boxing match.
Kllbnne Is ln Ireland just new. He has written te a sporting Journal la
Paris expressing a desire te tippear in a music ball there en the same preirta
with Criqul, best of the French featherweights.
Aute, a Paris sports paper, in commenting en Kilbane's suggested "set,'
says the public would much rather see the American in action with one et b!
challengers.
But th,c European fans are deemed .te disappointment. When Kllbane lft
the United States it was entirely for n pleasure trip and te attempt te rtki
iiAeme pounds nnd francs but net by nctual boxing.
Se it leeks as if it will be nil square. Kllbane will net let the European
sports see him in actual combat and the sports won't go te see Kllbane "act.''
BABE RUTH may spot Irish Meusel a score or mere runs at the rate
the latter has been driving homers. All that Meusel did In the
first two games of the season was hit two home runs, and Rath will
have been out of thirty-eight contests before he finally gets a whack
at the ball.
Leng Suspensions for Pugnacious Soccer Players
FIR the second time this season a soccer player has been punished for punchlii
nn official when Zeller, of Wildwood, was meted a five-year suspension n
a result of nn altercation with Referee Kendall in the game with De Paul.
Recently Temmy LacevelH, of Kaywood, was banished for the same period
and for the same reason. Se it new leeks ns If participants In soccer matches
better bad count up te ten before doing anything rash.
In many ceses referees are entirely tee lenient with the players, especially
se in the leagues where youngsters are just branching out. This makes It bird
for a strict referee. Easy-going officials should change their methods ul
make the players tee the mark. This would mean less treuble and would be a
big boost for the game.
NEW rales recently promulgated in football have met with the
approval of at least one coach. He Is a former Penn star and tutor,
Andy Smith, new coach nt the University of California. Smith is a
geed man in football and his opinion In gridiron matters is worthy
of consideration.
