The Tribune Ass n.) A Bulimic of the Times I wonder when I stand at bay With battered lance and shield awry, Hurled back across the driving fray By power I might not defy— If, minus Life's last alibi I'll light on as the stalwart fights? All unafraid to lose —or die? For tjiat is all the Scorer writes. Or when, by some undreamed-of play, 1 whirl Fame's banner to the sky. And mount to where the half-gods stay Among the conquerors on high; If, turning back without a sigh, I'll see some pal who missed the heights— Though I must sink to hell to try? For that is all the Scorer writes. Soft years are gone—as dreams decay— Old times no longer typify; To-morrow brings another day Where flags of newer freedoms fly; But who without a yielding cry Drives onward through Fate's bitter slights To keep clean faith and fearless eye? For that is all the Scorer writes. "I don't know what baseball will amount to this season, but I know the boom it will have after the war," writes a correspondent from the front. "You may 1 not have known it, but so far over 1150,000 worth of baseball supplies have ; been sent for use back of the fighting lines, where both English and French soldiers are taking up the game from Canadians and those from the States. ! Thousands who have never played baseball before are finding the game a won- I derful recreation. Crashing Power The crashing power of the Giants this season is almost sure to send this club to McGraw's sixth pennant. After watching his machine at work, it is hard to figure how any rival can hope to interpolate a defensive check. The club is so strongly botstered with crashing power upon attack—an attack likely to break out at any spot in the batting order—that one is reminded of the old | Mackian punch, which few pitchers could suppress. Burns, Kauff, Bobertson, Fletcher, Holke, Zimmerman and Herzog—with McCarty or Bariden —the smashing possibilities of this order are not to be denied unless the club gets over-confident and slack. It has been a long time since we have se®n a ball club that gave such an im pression of consistent, rugged power in driving its way around the bases. There isn't as much crashing power as the old Athletics carried, but there is certainly more speed. McGraw has no trio to bat with Collins, Baker and | McTnnis. But Mack's old machine had considerably less speed in getting from place to place. Sporting Superstitions Dear Sir —I am willing to admit that ballplayers have and require unusually | good brains, and quick acting ones also. But it is my contention that if the (average ballplayer's brain contained more baseball knowledge and less super | stition, the leagues would be faster. A few superstitions may be useful. But | the main trouble is—most of them put "I can't" into a player's head more frequently than "I can." And is not confidence half the battle? SLEEPY STEVE. i If every ballplayer in the profession put as much of his soul into his play as Buck Herzog does, the national ensemble would have no dull moments to i speak of between April and October. Herzog and Fletcher, working together, are pennant winning types, one of the most useful combinations that ever kept ! guard around the middle of the diamond. j Canada has never held an October world series. But her April world series at Vimy Bidge will carry longer memories than any other played by entries from this side of the Atlantic. "Plenty of golf played back of the lines in France." A golfer who can get accustomed to sinking a 6-foot putt as a big shell explodes overhead should I be pretty well trained for any of the annoying incidents that may come later Icn. We have seen some golfers who couldn't putt if the wind was blowing through the trees or a cradle was whispering forty feet away. We've often wondered how they would make out playing the game just a few steps beyond the range of shrapnel fire and exploding bombs. Baseball friends from the West write us that the White Sox are at last i primed and ready for the pennant that Commy has been seeking since 1906. ! The machine looks robust enough back of the and beyond the box, but un less the pitching improves over the past two years the rest of it may not hold I up as stoutly, as it looks to be at the April tinted outset. KILBANE OUTPOINTS BROCK Cleveland, Ohio, April 20.—Johnny Kilbane, champion featherweight, out pointed Matt Brock, of Cleveland, by a wide margin to-night in their ten- FRIDAY EVENING, round no-decision bout. Kilbane floored Brock six times In the first round but was unable to put over the decisive punch. Brock recuperated and fought back hard in the last few rounds, but was outboxed and out fought by Kilbane, Brock not being able to recover entirely from the ef fects of the first round beating he re ceived. William Kennedy Wins American Marathon Race Boston, April 20.—William Kennedy, of New York, yesterday won the American Marathon. He finished well ahead of the field after having led most of the last ten miles. Kennedy is a gray haired briclayer. Kennedy's time was 2 hours, 28 minutes, 37 1-5 seconds, approximate ly seven minutes behind the record. Sidney H. Hatch, Chicago, was sec ond in 2 hours, 30 minutes, 19 sec onds; Clarence H. DeMar. Boston, third, in 2:31:05; Hannes Kolehmain en, Brooklyn. N. Y.. fourth in 2:31:58. Kennedy was leading at Lake street in Newton, five miles from the finish. Kolehmainen was second followed by DeMar, the 1911 winner. Schuster and Hatch were in fourth and fifth places. % Seventy runners from various parts of this country. Canada and Greece were entered and more than 100,000 spectators gathered. The pack started promptly at noon from a point just beyond Ashland Center. Weather con ditions were good. Kolehmainen made a rush to gain the lead, but at the end o fthe first mile Prescott M. Dean of Rochester, N. Y„ led him slightly, with the field following fast. Koleh mainen gained the lead before two miles had passed, only to lose it aga'n to Schuster.

WELLYSCORNER Elimination of championships in amateur athletics during the war and the holding of competitions only, was the decision reached in New York yes terday by representatives of leading athletic associations. The youth of the nation will be encouraged to train for sports, but it is probable that all championship events will be called oft. Eddie Plank was the big star for St. Louis. It was his good work that brought the victory and downed the White Sox. The Gettysburg boy gave evidence that he is some distance away from the has been class. Paul Fittery, the former llarrisburg pitcher, did not fare well yesterday. His work in the first game at Boston was greatly responsible for the Phil lies' downfall. Manager George Cockill is losing no time in whipping his team into shape. I Now that the players are down to work, local fans are showing increased interest. The season opens May 2 at Elmira. One week later the Senators will be home for a big opening. I Bosewood A. C. is anxious to annex I another title before quitting the bas- I ketball season. To-morrow night the WILL CLOSE BALL IF TAX BECOME Chicago .April 20.—Club owners in the. American League will be forced to close their parks if war tax on baseball, suggested in the administration revenue program is demanded from them in stead of from the patrons of the sport, President Johnson of the American League announces: "I have figured that the tax would amount to about $250,000 for the season," Mr. Johnson said. "That would more than wipe out our profits. We would have to close our gates." Because of the danger facing the game, half a dozen minor league presidents plan to go to Washington next week to oppose the legislation, which, they say, would drive the smaller leagues out of business. A. R. Learney, president of the Three I League, after a conference with President Ilickey of the American Asso ciation, asked Frank C. Zehrung, president of the Western League; Edward Barow, president of the International League, and John H. Farell, secretary of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues, to join them in Washington to represent the minor leagues throughout the country. City Amateur League champions will play Motive Power Athletic Associa tion five. It promises to be some contest. Here is the way the Philadelphia North American under the heading 4 "Mays Belongs in German Army," cri ticises a wild pitcher: "There is no place in baseball for a man like Carl Mays, the Boston pitcher. President Ban Johnson should give him the gate without delay. Mays' specialty is hitting opposing batsmen in the head. Unless he is suppressed, one of these days a batsman will bo carted oft to the morgue. Last year Mays tried to "bean" Cobb, and the Georgian threw his bat at him. On numerous other occasions Mays has been accused of trying to hit players in the head. In the eighth inning yesterday, while the Athletics were spurting. Mays hit Thrasher in the head. The latter had a narrow escape from serious injury or possible death., He fell as if pole axed and had to quit the game. The Athletic players declare that Mays' act was intentional. Certainly the evidence accumulating against Mays In the last three years justifies drastic punishment. A man like Mays has no , 1 place in baseball. He belongs in the German army."
