THE MORNING CALL', SUNDAY, MAY 16. 1926 TWENTY. SPEEDWAY NW "Bubbling Over" Derby Winner Chadwick's Baseball Chatter WITH THE MITT MAULERS By Sparrow Al'Gann ALLENTOWN PREP BOYS LOSE AT MERCERSBURG Purple and White Drops Keen Pitchers' Duel by Score of 3 to 2 Greatness is Indicated In a fighter not only by his ability to box and to hit. but by his ability to take stiff wallops himself. Benny could do that.

In his fight with Charley 'White, the left book -artist from Chicago hung one on Leonard's Jaw and catapulted blm out of the ring. Did Benny tin-can it? He did not. He clambered back through the ropes and put White to sleep. Again In 1921, at a show staged by Miss Anne Morgan for devastated France, Richie Mitchell did the unexpected by nailing Leonard with a beautifully timed right bander. Leonard promptly went to the rosin, then rose to his knees, and shook the cobwebs out of his muddled brain while his host of friends went into hysterica.

He rose at the count of nine, watched the right that had pretty nearly ruined him and when It started in his direction he csme in with a right of his own that practically ended the fight. In the Tendler fight irtJersey City I-ew caught Benny a bad one. His knees were wabbling as he forced his way Into a clinch. Unable to do anything physically, he whispered in Tendler's ear and talked him out of a knockout. What he said was never known, but he sure did get Lew's mind oft the idea of stowing him away and he was permitted to last until the bell rang.

Next round be was all himself and won the bout. When the two met again Benny knew all about Tendler. and made him look like a novice. After an absence of four years. Leonard Is getting set to fight the hardest punching welter the ring has seen In many a day.

Opinions are divided on the outcome, be- cause no one knows how much of his former qualities the ex-llghtwelght king has retained. He himself has no fear of the outcome, which should provide a good tip for the form players. Walker ia a pure and simple fighter. He has no boxing brains. Fights are decided on points and It takes a mighty clever man to put over, the crusher on a really great boxer.

Leonard is all of that and he figures, as a lot of wiser onces also do, that he can get by at least on points. pitcher, lock and th kindred -alibis. i By any kind of figure that can be flgvretf th Brooklyn should not be where they ar ret by the simple process of. winning ball games th Brooklyn ar exactly where theyt are. which shows again how wholly Impossible it la to figure baseball form.

Yet th Brook 1 wis. to bold first plac th! coming week against all comers, must make more runs than they have been making, be cause they will bo asked to play against a different typ ot ball than that they have, been playing against thus far. They wlir finish their first meeting with Pittsburgh and run afoul of Cincinnati where th pitching! Is as good as that of Brooklyn and may a little better. la the American League what a different situation there 1st Th week will end th In vasion th weetern clubs Into the East and as a week It is all In favor of tho Yankees, who wrestle In spirit' and body with th Chicago and th tail-end Brows of St. Louis.

Tho great scoring power" of tha Tank should carry them on. Tbey hav nothing like the pitchers of the Brooklyn Club, though it may be that agd man will get there eventually when th sun throw mora heat into th atmosphere. Th coming week certainly favors th Tanks, and it doea not favor th Brooklyn. Tet the big days of the performance. prior to Democratic "Tsy which establishes an epoch in the major leagues, see this pair of combatant and near combatant who banged away at on another in th spring with most disastrous results to one of them, th targets of all the Jealousies and rivalries that exist In baseball and both of them th wonder of rival managers.

Connie Mack and Bucky" Hani will tU you that they named th Yanks for a dangerous bunch after they saw them bat In tho spring and so they did. But there wero others of th American Leagu' wbo aeoffed at th Idea that such an outfit could get out of th second division. There waa not a manager In Florida who gave the Brooklyns a passing thought, unless It was 8liler. who had a hard time to defeat them and has had a hard time In life ver since. "The said on of th wisest of managers, "may lead the second division because they have better pitchers than Boston.

Philadelphia and St. Louis." but Brooklyns. so to speak, bay not been In th aeo-ond division at alU CATASAUQUA SWOOPS NAZARETH DOWN VILLANOVA NINE AGAIN DEFEATS MUHLENBERG WILL OPEN MAY 31 AT PA. Track Proclaimed Greatest Dirt Racing Route in the World greatest dirt speedway In the world has Just been completed at Langhorne. on the.

Lincoln highway seven miles west of Trenton, N. J. On this new track, the fastest of its kind ever built, nearly -thirty of the best most daring auto race drivers of- America, will compete for the eastern speed crown at the inaugural event May thirty-first. The building of great auto race track, with Its mammofH steel and concrete grand-stand stretching nearly half way around the one mile course, comes as a crowning glory and just reward to the work of the eastern auto race driver, who, for many years paet have always furnished an over abundance of thrills for the thousands of spectators at the old track-, at Pa. --This year all those well known drivers who, have during the past seasons opened the season at the Pottatown.

track will be seen in action on thia new track down on the concrete Lincoln highway Tbe new track has been built to withstand a speed greater than 115 miles per hour and this speed Is greater than has ever been attained In the past on apy American dirt course. The turns of the new course are heavily banked which will permit of greater speed. Heavy hub and guard rails have been placed around both the inside an doutside of the fifty foot course and to insure perfect safety to spectators heavy government wire fences have been erected around the course at a distance of fifty feet from the Inside of tbe track thus Insuring perfect safety. The Philadelphia Speedway is declared to be the most modern and complete of all eastern tracks. The Philadelphia track has many advantages over any other auto race course In the country.

It Is easily accessible by train, bus or auto. The prices of the Beats have so been arranged as to make it possible for all to see the race. Although there are reserved sections in the spacious stand there are also adequate accommodations for those who do not wish to have the' very best and with it all. the management has seen to it that all seats have been priced moderately. There will be no dust.

The track is constructed of clay well packed and held together with an approved road binder thus eliminating the dreaded, dust which makes the racing hazardous for the contestants and uncomfortable for the spectators. Although there will be many familiar faces among the drivers this year the race fans will have many treats in store for them when they get their first look at many of the new speedway cars. Jimmy Glen son. will drive Tommy Milton's former world's record car with which record for a mile waa established at Dry Lake, California. Tommy Dawson will pilot a new William's Brothers special, a car which embodies all the features the Williams Brothers, pioneers In race car building, have worked out during the past years.

Elwood Wolfe, the. 1923 eastern states dirt track champion has announced his return to the sport with a special built car with which he can be counted upon to thrill the most exacting. Russell Pnowberger, will be at the wheel of Louis Falchides Miller, the car- with which Zeke Meyer, last year -won the championship. Raymond Keech, who will be well remembered as tbe daring driver of William Stickler's Peugeot, will have one of the fastest cars in the line as he has lust secured Wat as pilot for Edward Yagle'a Miller, tf board speedway fame. Frank Farmer, who drove like a maniac In the 100 mile race at Pottstown last yenr will be seen in Tacrle's other entry the German-Mercedes, and there are many others, any one of whom will be well up in the running.

Jimmy Gleason, declared to be the fastest dirt track race driver In America, will have a new ear this year. Fischer and Jacobs have Just purchased a special Miller speedway car for Jimmy and Al Aspen has been picked by these sportsmen to drive their latest creation, an and special, which is capable of terrific speed. Fred Wannai, will be at the wheel of a Ruesenberg which has Just been received from the factory and In short, this sea. son's races look- like the fastest in tbe history of the sport in the east. Although -the big race.

Is scheduled for May thirty-first, there will be two days devoted to qualifying sprints against time prior to race day as -the Hat of entries is so great that it will be impossible for all entries to start, The program calls for two ten mile races, each with two heats and a-fifty mile race as the big event. Five race meets will be heM on the new track during the season ending with the 100 mile eastern states dirt track championship.

By GEORGE CHADW1CK (Copyright, 19:6. The Morning Call) New Tork, Way IS Tha first month of the big league baseball season has com to a close with two teams which were almost unanimously picked as cellar contenders leading their respective leagues. The fact that Brooklyn rounded out tha month In the lead In tha National League race was ever more striking, perhaps, than the fact that the New York Yankees were setting the pace in tha American League. Equally aa striking is tbe fact that tha Brooklyns have managed to keep ahead, thanks to superior pitching, by making an average of only on run to each one and on third runs made by Its closest contenders. Thia spring, on their barnstorming trip north from the training camps, the Yankees defeated Brooklyn In fourteen straight games.

It Is doubtful If any ball team in the world ever defeated a rival so decisively. Brooklyn started the season a delected and whlpped-ln-advance ball club. Even the optimistic t'ncl Wllbert Robinson was gloomy. But when the season got tinder way, the Brooklyn pitcher took the team by th scruff of It neck and literally dragged It to th top of the heap. Tha one probleran considering Brooklyn's chances now, la to determine how long th Brooklyn pitching staff can hold out.

Some Idea of th part th Brooklyn pitchers have played can be gleaned from the fact that Brooklyn, for all Its league leadership, ended the first month with a smaller total of runs scored than any club In the league except Boston. When there were runners on the bases stamping up and down In a frensy to score, the Brooklyn pitchers have been so niggardly of baa hits that they hav broken many a heart. The proportion of runs for th Brooklyn team against rivals has been about aa 100 to 132. Imagine thatl A team with scoring power under it rivals leading th National League from day to day, while th Pittsburgh champions who would not traded man for man as against the Brooklyn players, except possibly In rh battery department, have been unable to get within eight of first place, although they ar on their way. Managers of other club' do not attempt even to argue about Brooklyn.

UP) Lieutenant Don Phillips, army aviator, twenty-four hours overdue at Mc-Cook Dayton, following: a take-off from Boiling Field, Washington, yesterday, was in Pittsburgh tonight. This was learned from officials at Rodgers Field, municipal landing field at Aspinwall, a suburb.

Robert M. Hancock, chief mechanic of the field, which- is the official army landing place, said Phillips came dewn Friday for gas and oil.

Since 1907 the club has been' inactive owing to the fact that the proper, place could not -be -had, up until that time the gymnasium of the C. A. had been used. A year ago It was decided that a new hall would be built and the work was begun, most of "which was done by the members. The society has three branches, the total number of members being about 175, with a membership of 124 adults and 77 children.

The clubhouse is two stories In height and contains social rooms on the first-floor, while. the second floor is used as an auditorium and gymnasium. OBITUARY KATHRTN E. STEIXER I Kathryn E.0 daughter of John Z. and Hattle (nee.

The floral tributes were: Roses, NOR HAMPTON WINS MISSING ARMY FLIER New Tork, May IS Very quietly, Tex battle this summer between Benny Leonard and Mickys Walker. And It looks now as though he would put It over. Rickard haa been getting- to Leonard not so much on the basis of a money lure. Benny baa sacrificed too many thousands of dollars since his retirement to be enticed at tots time. A bigger reason Is being- dangled before Benny's eyes and It appeals to him lot: it is the opportunity of helping- the Jioor and the afflicted of his race.

Leonard's mother will hardly withhold per-i mission for her son to appear in one more big- battle when one half of the recipts will Co to Jewish charities, Leonard is popular enough to draw a slse-I able crowd even with a second rate But against Walker, the bout would draw as no othea light save one in which Jack Dempsey was defending; his heavyweight title. LeonardMs a rreat Old time students of the ring game unhesitatingly place Mm upon a par with the Old Master. Joe Cans, and his personality and his conduct In nd out of the squared circle have made him steemed throughout the country. The curious thing about Leonard's career It that his early record was unimpressive. He went along like any preliminary boy of bis dav.

taklno- his knocks and slams and profiting by every bout. He was a student, and perhsps the greatest thing about him ts the fact thst never in his career did he made the same mistake twice. Early in his career he was knocked out by Frank! Fleming and Joe Shugrue. These are the only black marks on his record. He did not lose hope and drag along in the ranks of the mediocre.

On the contrary these two setbacks proved the turning points in bis career. He advanced step by step until in 117 he cornered Freddie Welsh and star prised the world of pugilism by hanging thst wllUo-wIsp title holder over the ropes unconscious. So he became lightweight champion. From that period on. he never did anything that did not stamp him as great.

WIN FROM LE Brown and White Stickmen -L, Not in Usual Form; 4. Score, 7 to 3 Lacking1 the polish of previous games, Lehigh University's lacrosse team went down to a 7 to 3 defeat at the hands of the University of Maryland stickmen yesterday before a Father's Day crowd of 600 spectators at Bethlehem. Maryland showed urdenied strength on the attack and with the exception of the first fifteen minutes piay held the "advantage throughout. The contest was -by no means fast, although both teams seemed to force the fghtlng in the second half. These spirited display came only in spurts, however, and with frequent interruptions also slowing, up the game considerably, the tilt appeared listless from the spectators' point ol Vie.

Packenham. Lehigh captain, opened the coring three minutes after Hostilities got under way. Receiving a clever pass, he caught Btreet, Maryland's goal, off guard and placed neatly. Ensor equalized for Maryland three minutes later following- a hot scrlmmatre In front of the net. Boyd, sifting through Lehigh's weak defense after an exchange down the field a scant two minutes later gave a pretty exhibition of attack to score a goal and place his team in the lead.

After Robinson, of Lehigh, and Beatty, of Maryland, each scored a goal for their respective teams before the close of the first period, giving Maryland a one-point advantage at the end of the half. Lehigh's attack as well as its defense seemed to crumble and Maryland's offense, taking ad-ventage of this let-up. scored almost at will. Knsor, Crothwait. Beatty and Reading each registering a goal.

Robinson prevented a complete whitewash in this period by scoring several minutes before the conclusion of the contest. The lineups; -Lehigh C. of Maryland Street Buck Cleverland J. Law P. Lannlgan lelgh F.D.

Its nearest competition ON THE LINKS with ray McCarthy 5 New Tork. May 15 Abe Mitchell, the.

British golf star, still Is waiting for some American professional golfer to accept his challenge for a 72 hole match for a purse of five hundred pounds per side. Since Mitchell hurled his defl several weeks ago. ha has won the annual Roemxmp-too tournament at match play, in which he conquered Archie Compston, Oeorge Duncan and Ted Ray aa well as others. It would a spear, therefore, that the mild-mannered Aba Is quite prepared to back up his challenge with golf that will be hard to beat. Most British golfers now are of the opinion that Mitchell at present Is invincible in match play.

They say and they have said repeatedly In the past several weeks that Is playing the greatest golf of any man in Great Britain: that he Is very confident and enjoying the best health be haa experienced since the war. t. It la reported, however, that Walter Hagen who shares with Gene Sarazen the reputa. tion of being the best match play golfer in the United States, will accept Mitchell's challenge when he arrives In England soon. In this writer's opinion Hagen and Sara- sen at.

present are about the only two American golfers who might beat in match play. Both are great golfers; each has Indomlnable courage and with Jim Barnes they have scored more often in match play than any other golfers In this country. Hagen. In fact. Is the only man who has ever beaten Mitchell without having suffered defeat at the hands of the Briton.

Walter won the first and only match he every Played with Mitchell on the Westchester-Blltraore course four years ago. In that contest Hagen waa four down starting the last nine but a me through on the last lap with a wonderful rally. Mitchell has been anxious to have another match with Hagen. His challenge probably waa Issued with the hope that Hagen would be the one to accept. If this pair should meet, the game should he one of the best Of its kind ever played.

The Briton would have a distant edge from the tee to the green. Abe is undoubtedly the longest and stralghtest hitter In the game. His power and steadiness are superior to all others. But around the preens Hagen would come Into his own. And If he should happen to be in one of his putting moods, which are not at all Infrequent, then it would be Mitchell who would pass out of the ptctnre.

Golf fans will recall what Hagen did to Bobby Jones recently. Before that match It was figured that Bobby's steadiness plus his remarkable long game would kill off the Hage. Instead Hagen' putting completely ruined his young amateur opponent. Hagen has proved time and again he can rise to the occasion, regardless of how swift the going Is. Mitchell, too.

has shown himself to be a whirlwind, particularly In match play tournaments held in Great. Britain in the past two years. That the hard-hitting Briton quite confident of his ability to hold his own in match play with any golfer in the world is evidenced by hia willingness to back himself against anybody. Playing for. fun and playing for your own money are horses of different colors.

It Is to te hoped that Mitchell will see fit to come to this country again this year. He Is a very popular golfer, both his own country and in the United States. He would be more popular than ever now that he ia playing so well. Compston will return to American Immediately after the British Open and it is qulta likely George Duncan, the peerless Scot will come with him. The American Professional Golfers Association also is planning to help finance the trip of several other British professionals to this country in order that they may participate in the annual Professional Golfers Championship tournament which is to be held on the Salisbury.

L. links next fell. Everybody is hoping Mitchell will be among this number. Meantime Mitchell's challenge still stands, and If there Is any professional now in the States who feels he can take the measure of thia Briton he can go ebroad and win. a purse of five hundred pounds, which will pay.

all his expenses and give him a few dollars to boot. But ws advise any who mar think of tak- Ing Mitchell to make sure his own game is well polished and that be ia ready to play I par solf or better. 1 MARYLAND mm 5 Mercersburg. May 15.

SIX ESCAPE FROM Roadster With Four Students Aboard Hits Sedan Near Levans The lives of six persons were gravely endangered Saturday night at 11.30 o'clock, when a roadster, the occupants' of which were four Lehigh students, all aged about 20 years, crashed Into the rear end of a sedan, owned and driven by 'Charles CLong, of 529 Fourth avenue, Bethlehem, who was accompanied by his wife. Jlr, and Mrs.

Long spent the evening visiting friends up tbe valley and were on their way home: Directly in front of the packing house of the Trexler peach orchards at Levans, the roads! er said to have been traveling at fast and dangerous clip, struck the rear bumper of Long's machine. The impact was so great, it snapped of part of the steering gear and the wheel collapsed in Long's hand and the car, beyond control headed for an. embankment. It" turned over- on its side; pinning the occupenta in it. The roadster, said to have -been driven by R.

Lewis, of Park and Prospect avenues, Bethlehem, zigzagged a short distance and then rammed into a heavy fence at the home of Arthur Erdman. It was backed off the lawn-In front of the home and was taken to the sheds at Shankweiler's hotel, where it was later found by LinCe, manager of the Trexler' orchards, In the meantime passing motorists came to Mr. and Mrs. Long's aid and they had to be taken out of a window of the car. Both fortunately escaped injury, but Mrs.

Long. Is suffering greatly from shock. They were taken to their home by other motorists. The four students were brought pback to the scene of the accident and there it is said they offered to make a private settlement, but Mr. Long was more interested In the welfare of his wife at the time than in making any adjustments.

State Motor Patrolman Han-y Gable, of Bethlehem- barracks, was notified and he immediately began an investigation. INSPIRING SERVICE BETHEL CHURCH Interesting and Inspiring services Will be held to-day in Bethel M. B. in C. church, 529 North Eighth street, Rev.
