NO RELIEF HURLER OJief upcm it time It was practically Impbssibie to hold an American league baseball game ift Philadelphia out the services of Mr. Mack's per cent talking employe, Bdwln met. It came to ft point last summer where Mr. Rommel had to speak to somebody about It. He did.

"1 don't care what happens out there today," spake Rommel. "1 don't care two whoops if sixteen pitchers get their domes knocked loose and we drop a IB-run lead. not going-into that box today. 1 wouldn't go In for Mussolini, King George, Rasputin or tho ex-czar of all the Russlas. That's flnal.

I'm no relief pitcher. It's a dirty, lousy Jobl" It wouldn't be a very wild guess to Infer from this that Edwin Rommel wasn't so fond of being a relief pitcher. But, be that as It may, half an hour after Rommel had unburdened himself of his groans, he was out there on the hill trying to win a ball game that George Earnshaw had started. This year, though, it's different, and it appears that Eddie's moan fell not upon deaf ears. For lately the big knuckle ball specialist has been starting games for Mr.

Mack and finishing quite a few of them. too. Up to June 15 his mark was six games won and none lost, out of eleven in which he took'part. Last year he was In forty- three games, of which he won thirteen and lost five. As much as he hates the job, Rommel is rated as probably the greatest relief pitcher in the game today.

That Would be discounting some very nifty trouble shooting the last few years of Flrpo Marberry of Washing- ton'and Wllcey Moore of the Yanks, of course, but tho fact remains that American league managers have not yet formed the habit of leaping up and down in glen when they see Eddie walking out to taws. Taws here Is a proper word, too, for Rommel Is moster of one of the wickedest knucklers a batter ever guessed at. Thnt, in spite of the fact tho young man started out In life as a spltball pitcher and had to learn all over when the wet delivery was bnnncd in 1917. Rommel's first shot at tlte big show came In that year when tho Baltimore Orioles took him south for tho training trip. When the club returned to Baltimore Rommol was dropped.

He continued to hang around the Orioles' park, however, and one clay "Cutter" drury, Ilrst baseman, showed Mm how to hold a knuckle ball. Ecldlo worked with the ball throe years before he conquered the pesky delivery. Meantime ho pitched In the Illuo Ridge league- and for Newark. At Newark ho finally began to show stuff and in tho spring of 1019 tho Giants took him on. Rommel Is great "Jockey," his wisecracks from box and bench furnishing good copy Cor tho scriblers upstairs.

One day when Rommel was pitching to Giant batters Benny KaulT rolled tho knuckle ball back to tho box, and Rommol grinned. Tho next time KaulT came to bat, Rommel fed him another. Kauff rolled that ono back, too, and Rommel made a few solect chirps about dumb batters ho had known. Tho next time Kauff came up, Bonny shouted "Put something on tho bull, you ham!" Rommel fed him another knuckler and Kautf again rolled it back to the Imx. For the third time Eddie had the laugh on Kauff.

however, was umpiring from the pitchers' box and he didn't relish tho humor. Ho' advised Eddlo to use his arm a little more and rest up tho lip. Later McGraw let him go buck to Newark. In the middle of 1919 Mack bought tho young pitcher. The Ilrst game Hommel pitched for Mack was In tho role of a relief hurler In tho Ilrst inning of a game with Cleveland.

Tho Indians had three runs In and one out. Later on Philadelphia tied the score, and In the 8 2-3 Innings that Rommel pitched Cleveland got only ono hit. That hit, however, was a home run by Ray Chapman into the icft field bleachers and It cost tho game. From that day to present sca- Hun, Rommol has been hailed as one the best relief men In the trade. Perhaps Mack figures Rommel has had enough experience now to bo able to start a few games, too.

TO MUSE AJNO AMUSE BY SPOHTS EDITOR HARVARD-YALE SET FOR THAMES RACE By OEOnOB KIBKSEY, Staff Correspondent, NEW LONDON, June The stage is all set for the sixty-second renewal today ot the Vale-Harvard boat oldest Intercollegiate sporting event in this country and one of the most picturesque of all sport dramas, At sunset the referee will give the signal: "Are you ready all? Row." Two frail racing shells will leap through the shimmering waters of tho Thames river, and the race will be on. Four miles up tho '20 minutes it will bo all over.

Close to 100,000 persons were here for the varsity race, first rowed In .1852. New London, an old whaling center, was in gala attire. Pennants and buntings, balloons and feathers in crimson and blue, were everywhere. Out on the course pleasure craft, steamers, yachts and slobps, gay In crimson and blue flags and streamers, dotted the river, leaving a path in between them for the two rival crews to row from the railroad bridge to Bartlett's cove. Around the hotel lobbies, in the smoke shops and wherever the crowclj gathered most everyone conceded the varsity race to Yale.

Harvard supporters hoped for the best. Yale has won of the eight races and has another fine, carefully groomed crew all poised to make It eight out of nine. Yale Won last year ten lengths. 1WUNO BltAVKS ON TOP.

Wally Beckel, guardian of the thlfd base position for Altoona High for two seasons and heavy hitter with a record of 39 hits in.7S times at bat, is now with the Dover, team in the Eastern Shore circuit and he is expected to make good by the Dover fans. Beckel is the ideal type of ball player. He is young. He has the athletic build.

And he likes baseball and can play the game. Pew are the players Who can hurdle from High school into league baseball. And the early start for Beckel means that he should land much higher within a few years. He'll be learning a lot in the minors and should improve rapidly. Followers of the High league are very mUch interested in Beckel and his baseball rise and he has the well wishes of all fans.

Fntc Drivers Says Reggy Walsh of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette editorially: "Speak, if you will, of fascinations of the various branches of sport, but the 'roaring road 1 of the auto race drivers has something on all the rest. "The percentage of killings, as some supporters of the game will show you, is relatively small to the number of those engaged. Like the aeroplane disasters, these things are said to be just s. small part of the great crowd which follows them and takes part. Perhaps because they are champions, their demise weighs more heavily than just the run-of-mlne speedway victims.

"The race driver, a nerveless being whose thrill Is In thrilling others, goes on and on, gathering a few shekels here and a few there Is swept off the track and his name inscribed among those who sacrifice their being to the Insatiable desire to tempt fate and laugh, for a time, at the cruel fate they tempt. "It is doubtful if there would be any solace In one of these daredevils dying by tripping over a curbstone, falling off a ladder or eating an ancient Icbster. The 'roar of the road" la their life and likely will continue to be so long as UICCRU1TS TAKE 6-0 WIN. Recruits, with Harris on the hill, handed a whitewash to the Collegian Cuba yesterday, winning by a 6-0 score. Lineups: Collegian AB.

The student Is Interested In sports and in school work also. Prior to the start of the school term he was Informed that a trip to Maine for the summer would be his reward provided he passed his studies with colors flying equally as high as they would fly through his athletic participation. Edwin is a "whale of an athlete" and was a star on both the and floor machines of Coach Benny Weinstein.

And he went through with honors in scholastic activities as well. Now he is on the trip having a fine time.
