THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. XET YORK, TUESDAY, JUNE 5, 1023. SUPERBAS' GREAT SPURT HAS PUT THEM IN TIE FOR SECOND PLACE THIS PUNCH WON CRIQUI THE FEATHERWEIGHT TITLE Ebbets May Trade Ruether For Third Baseman Traynor; Grimes Beats Pirates Again By THOMAS S. RICE, Staff Correspondent of The Eagle. PITTSBURG, June 5 No definite arrangements have been made for trading Walter (Dutch) Ruether away from the Brooklyn Superbas.

but It Is known that the management would consider any offer for him that Involved the receiving of a good and hitting third baseman In return. Jockey Hayes, Victim of Heart Disease, Earns Goal But the Effort Kills Him By W. C. VREELAND. THE Grim Reaper paid a sensational visit to the Belmont Park track yesterday.

Swiftly the life of Jockey Frank Hayes, rider of Sweet Kiss in the steeplechase, was cut short. Hayes had just landed Sweet Kiss the winner by a length and a half and was pulling up his, mount about 100 yards after the finish when he swayed In the saddle and pitched long to the turf. When picked up by attendants he was detid, a victim of heart trouble. It was the first winning mount for Hayes and the last. He had only been riding horses In steeplechases a short time.

It was his second mount In a cross-country race. He was in the employ of James K. L. Frayllng, a trainer, and had been schooling and galloping steeplechase horses for hlw for the past four year. He rode his first race at Havre de Grace this spring.

Loyalty to his employer and zeal to ride Sweet Kiss in a race unquestionably had much to do with the sudden death of Hayes. Sweet Kiss, which ran in the name of Miss A. M. Frayllng, was assigned to carry 130 pounds President Barney Dreyfuss of the Pittsburg Pirates and President Ebbets of the Superbas had a short conference yesterday and may have asother today. President Ebbets denied that they talked business about something on the fire for the second Ruether.

but they are believed to have conference. 'Pittsburg fans are considerably worked up over the Pirates, as was proven s'esterday when 7,000 or more of them were at the diamond-side on a Monday to see the first game of the Pirates 'Those faithful fans saw the Superbas win by 6 to 8 and thereby tie the Pirates second place, but they also saw Harold (Pie) Traynor, third baseman on the card. In order to make that In the jumping race, which was second weight, It was reported that he had to out on the road Sunday and yesterday enveloped in sweaters in order to reduce to the proper poundage. The inter.se heat not only affected his heart desired by Brooklyn, make three singles, the force scoring a runner, in five That brought the batting average teen hitting around .350 or over, The power at bat, they like his fielding, and a man thev were not sure would be of 1 jCt kmn of trading Ruether and Andy High for Traynor and another Pirate, High take Traynor's place at third for Pittsburg. Pittsburg Is said to 'iikve offered the venerable Babe Adams, right-handed pitcher, and Jewell Ens, bard-hitting utility Inflelder, but Adams Is nearly at the end of his rope, and Ens has never been able to hold up in fielding, so that sounds like a pipe dream.

any trading is to be done it will have to be done quickly, as the period for transferring major veterans, except by waivers, ends on June IS, under the rule adopted by the majors as a result of the condemnation which followed the bracing of the Giants and the Yankees at the end of last August. -tV Players Demand That Ruether Hustle. this time the body punishment had THE Brooklyn players are taking as much interest in Ruether's future as are the club owners and Uncle Wilbert Robinson. The Superbas are demanding that Ruether hustle and pitch up to his $10,000 salary, ERE is the blow that lost Johnny Kiibane the feather weight championship of the world. True, it was not the finishing punch, but It was the blow that paved the way for the Frenchman to put over the quietus.

The blow Is a right lo the heart, and was described In the fight by rounds In Sunday's Eagle. In the third round "Criqui countered with a solid right to the body. It was a hard smash and Johnny's smile faded for the first time. Crlqul's eyes glittered as ho paw the effect of the punch." In the following rounds a perusal of The Eagle story will show that Criqui, uftcr that punch, made Kllbane's body the. center of his attack.

In the sixth and last round the finish was thus described: "Johnny backed away under the onslaught, but by sapped his speed of foot. Criqui was fighting at top speed and as Kiibane broke ground he crashed over a right swing that landed flush on the chin and Kiibane fell to his haunches and then backward, his head hitting the floor with a resounding thud.

Ordinarily, base-: all players are exceedingly clannish and protect one of their number to limit, but there are times when they are prone to take the other tack. "This happens to be one of those times, and the Superbas want Ruether to help win games or make room for someone else who will.

What has aroused the Superbas Is that they see a great chance to finish this year, and If August should befall the Giants in the way of unusual misfortunes or over-confidence, the Superbas might even grab the yesterday the Superbas stepped Into a tie for second place and they have Kashio, Last Year's Victor, Eliminated byRosenbaum In Boro Tennis Tourney Must Shoot 'Em Straight to Win British Open at Troon IN the opinion of one expert, whose experience ought to qualify him strongly to express an opinion, if Walter Hagen, Jim Barnes, Gent araen or any of the other American entries, is to win the British open golf championship this year, starting June 11, over the links of Troon. an ambition to finish at least that high, financial incentive to stay up.

Willie Fernie, who has for 35 years been the professional at the Troon (pan on the second teams and the Superbas are not in a mood to have their rhances imperiled by anybody.

One thing certain is that the Brooklyn Club trill under no cir- i cumstances trade Ruether to the Giants, and it would prefer to send I rn to the Boston Braves if the Braves could offer playing material in return.

Zack Wheat doubled to me nrst oi tnree ngnt-nanoed Pirate Links, is authority for this prophecy.

of June 2, Fernie sums up his opinion "The very first demand of tho. Troon course is accuracy and this quality is not merely confined to keeping a straight line down the fairway. Much more than that is it is to decide on the best line to the hole, at some holes that may mean placing the drive toward the extreme right of the fairway, while at other3 well over toward the left. Bad Drives Iiuilshed. "The player who is going to have a rearonabie chance of success must be continually asking himself the question, 'Where shall I place this shot In order to be In the most fav.

orable posi'lon for my The punishment for a badly placed shot may not necessarily involve playtng out of a bunker, hut assuredly the second rhot from any badly placed drive will be an extremely difficult one. "I cannot emphasize too strongly the Importance of accurate placing. It is the main feature in playing the Course. Personally I do not consider that the 'Old Course' Troon will be the long driver's paradise. At a few of the holes an accurate long hltt'r might occasionally have in advantage, but on the other hand I can quote Instances of where a very long shot would be a disadvantage.

By this I do not mean that Troori is a short course, from championship tees It will measure over 6.400 yards, which distance is about 200 yards shorter than Sandwich. The latter course is generally admitted to favor long driving. Iron Play Essential. "Most surely the hall mark of 'Open Champion' will rest with one who has the mastery of his Iron clubs. 'Old Troon' provides scope for some fine approach play.

I have attempted to work out what types of approach will be required, and I reduce from 10 to 15 pounds. He went Then, too, Hayes rode Sweet Kiss vigorously after challenging Gimme, the favorite and pacemaker, at th.e top of the stretch. Sweet Kiss cleared the last fence In front, but Gimme made such a strong challenge at tho finish that Hayes had to ride desperately to keep in front. This undue exertion in hlo weakened condition brought on a sudden at-tack of heart disease. Dr.

John A. Voorhees, the tiack physiclirt, who examined Hayes Immediately after he fell, said that his death was Instantaneous. Hayes lived with his mother and sister in the downtown section of this boro. He was 35 years old. Bud Lerncr Preparing for Stakes.

Bud Lerner, the early sprinc Ju-venlle champion of 1922, made hid first appearance of season In tho Bayslde Handicap and made it a memorable one bv carrying 1J4 pounds, top weight, to victory. Ha conceded 13 pounds tj Daniel and won by half a length. Little Celt also made his first public bow in this race, and, after showing a great deal of speed, finished third. Bud Lerner raced with Little Celt during the early Etages 1 ran the latter legweary. Daniel was keen contender and raced at tho hips of Bud Lerner to the turn for home At that point Bud Lerner drew out and looked an easy winner.

But lack of physical condition began to fell on him at the finish, and he had to be ridden out to beat Daniel. Tho showing made by Bud Leaner under his heavy weight was An Impressive one. The track was heavy from the recent storm, but spite of the bad footing the cobby son of The Finn-Dreamsome stepped the mile course in 1:38 an exceedingly good performance. After the race many trainers thought that fhey saw in Bud Lerner a strong helpmeet for his stable companion, Zev, In the stake events of the future. Lerner has so far escaped penalties for winning this year, whereas Zev, for his victories in the Kentucky Derby and the Withers Stakes will be piled high with weights in all stake events that call for penalties.

The showing made by Celt wat good, all -things considered. Of course, he only raced well for nbbut five and a half furlongs, but thW race will do him a great deal qf good physically. He Is a colt thai needs one or two races to snarpej. him up. When Sandy McNaughtou gets ready to turn him loose it scarcely likely that H.

Kuminer, who rode him yesterday, will have the leg up on him. Earl Sande, in addition to win- nlng on Bud Lerner, put over Hyperion In the last race. Sande was In no hurry with the son of Sun-star during the early stages, and moved up gradually from fourth place. At the head of the stretch Hyperion had caugnt ana passea Purity, and from that point on It was merely a canter for Bud Ftsh-er's colt to win. Purity lasted longf enough to beat Spread Eagle a head for second money.

Backers of Favorites Start Well. Backers of favorites started off well in their struggle to pick winners. They selected ex-Shortff Steve Pettlfs Exalted Ruler to capture the first race, and backed her down to 2 to 1 at post time. Thii good looking filly by Supernun-Croix Rouge showed plenty of early foot and took the lead and held It to the last 100 yards, where she began to atop. Marinelll had all of his work eut out for.

The loose soil and uncertain foot ing was sellshed by Overtake, and that big, ungainly gelding carried 117 pounds aa though it were a feather and won the third race, distance one mile, in a gallop by two lengths. He was at the very lucra tive odds of 20 to 1. It was a good betting race between Moonraker arid Forest Lore, and tney went to tne post first and second choices, respectively. But when it came to racing, Overtake had his horses fairly an chored.

Moonraker showed tho way for five furlongs, with Coeur de Lion second. The latter took command turning for home, but had scarcely showed in front when he stopped. Then Overtake, which had beenYun-ning fourth under a pull, moveel up with a rush on the outside. He opened a gap of four lengths and was pulled down to a canter at tne finish. Forest Lore in a drive beat Moonraker for the place honors.

Nine fillies and mares sported silks In the fifth race. Because of the nature of the track, Sequel, the gray filly by Book, was made the favor-Ite. She has always shown a preference for a wet track. Callahan got her off well, and, slipping to the front, showed the way to the finish, winning by three lengths from Lady Rose, which was second throughout, Valentia was third. The attendance showed no falling off, and was the largest Blue Monday crowd of the racing season.

together with fine iron play, will figure In an article in The American Golfer In the following manner: have Included the tee shots at the short holes in this category. "There are six approach shots with the maahie. where pitch and top will be the best play, and I think will be better than to pitch and run, because many of the greens, even if not bunkered in front, have ridges or undulations which would make this latter type of shot difficult to judge, and might easily kick the ball to right or left. While on the question of approaching, almost all the greens are very well guarded anJ many of them have little pot bunkers behind. The possibility of a pitch overrunning the green and being trapped in these bunkers will be obviated If the player has considered the accurate placing of his previous shot.

FlncsfC Xot Force. "Then there are two holee where the shot to the green will require a driving Iron. At three holes an ordinary Iron will suffice while at another the player should take a cleek. At no less than six holea the approach shot la Just over a mashle and calls for a particularly well Judged half-Iron shot. I cannot stresa the importance of this shot too much.

Too frequently In these days I see the younger generation going for the ball 'full bang' with a lofted club. "In my opinion the Open Champion 1928 will require to have complete control with his mid-iron, and he must be able, to accurately estimate his distances. The half iron shot is very important and I am looking forward with Interest to see how the American Champion, Gene Sarazen, whom I have not yet met, tackles this particular type of shot, because I feel that on this point will depend whether ho will be likely to continue his victorious career by winning at Troon."

That is i Derby Bets Breaking All Track Records (By Cable to The Brooklyn Eagle and Phila. Ledger; Copyright, 1921.) London, June Unprecedented betting on the Derby to be run on Wednesday has called forth protests from many persons, who see In such widespread gambling a menace to the welfare of the public at large. It has been assumed that the sweepstake particlpanta were much more numerous this year than heretofore, and hence the early protests, but an announcement today of the vslue of the prizes in many of the races is staggering. The greater part of the British public was deprived this year of participation in the Calcutta svveepstckes because of the restrictions placed around the sale of tickets. That resulted in many others being organized.

Probably the-largest was that of the Otley Conservative Club of Liverpool, which received nearly $400,000. Every trading exchange hfd its own sweepstakes, with receipts larger than they ever dreamed of, while scores were organized for the benefit of hospitals. In these an Investment of $1.25 gave the investor a chance to win anything from $15 to Nearly every Government office hed Its own sweepstakes, as did nearly every private office or shop where several persons were employed. It would seem that the reformers charges that England has gone sweepstakes-msd is borne out by ob servation wherever one turns.

Blulr Is third with tour wins and one setback, that of last night, charged against him. By FRANK T. ANDERSON. Fine weather yesterday permitted the contlnuatir.n of play in the Brooklyn Championship being held this week en the 23 clay courts of the Terraee-h'Inga Association. All the matches which were Interrupted by the downpour of rain on Sunday were completed as well as other third, fourth and fifth round matches scheduled for yesterday.

Only 24 players now remain from the original 172 competitors. There were two decided upsets during yesterday's play. Selichiro Kashio, last vcar's Brooklyn champion, who has only recently become a member of the Terrace Club, was one of the victims. Dr. William Rosenbaum being his conqueror by the score of 3-6, 6-1, 6-3.

The other seeded player besides Kashio to meet was Philip Bodkin, of the Haricm Club. Roy Richoy, the energetic chairman of the Tournament Committee, caused this second upset, beating Bodkin, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4. Five Seeded Players Left. Only five of the original eight seeded, players now remain in the draw. Ken Fisher having been eliminated in the first round la3t Saturday by Cecil Donaldson.

These five are Howard Voshell. h. Bowman, Jerome Lang, Fred C. Anderson and myself. Voshell happens to be located in the top half, the four others in the lower.

With the elimination of Kashio, it looks as though Voshell should be one of the finalists. unleSE another unforeseen upset occurs. Nothing should be taken for granted in tennis tournaments. One never knows what the outcome of the day will bring forth. Junior stars are being uncovered and the veterans of the game are coming back to their form of olden days.

8ueh occurrences as these furnish interest to the tournaments. The Brooklyn Championship Is furnishing its share of interest In this respect. Dr. RonMihrura. in continuing his match with Kashio from the point where they hid hien forced to cease play on Sunday with one set in his at 6-3.

There was a sudden noticeable change In the play of the doctor at this point. Hitting out with reck less abandon, taking chance after chance, driving deep to the comers of the court, forgetting entirely his former chop, he reeled off five straight games for the set and match. Rosenbaum is playing better tennis this var than he has for some time. He seems to be In fine physical condition and able to with stand a long drawn-out match. After ben.

Ever since lie has been in the league. Grimes has yearned to win 25 panics in one season, hut has never reached the mark. His best season jwas that of 11)20.

in which he won 23 and Inst 13, and last year he won 17 and lost 14. Grimes should pitch at least twice In the next eight or nine games. Normally he will pitch the opening game of the series In St. Louis and 'then in Chicago. If Ue should win those two he would be well on his way to his 25.

The Brook lyn aggregation drew a half game nearer the league leading Oiants as the latter team was Idle. The Superbas, apparently, are making their own opportunities, for Pittsburg now it counted the strongest team in th West.

The Philadelphia Athletics, back for a prolonged ytay on their own grounds, will hold a reception for the Western teams they found easy, and by maintaining their present pace should accumulate points. The Yanks, too. will he receiving West, orn visitors, but the Yanks are in low spirits for the time being, losing yes terday to Washington, 6 to 2, the third Htrniglit defeat. Of the two enation teams of the majors Brooklyn going better. It was the fury of Its attack that won over the Pirite.1 yesterday, for the Pirates had been fairly successful on the road.

The Robins wero out hit, but their blows were Ravage and timely when I hey meant something. Both Mnnager Connie Mack and Manager Wilbert Roblnron are trying to gather strength. Robinson and Owner Kbbets are dickering with both Boston and Pittsburg for a trade by which Pitcher "Dutch" Ruether would be their aln stock. Ruether's work bns been unsatisfactory to Brooklyn, and It Is understood he do-Ires a ehanje. Mack hits taken on two more college pitchers, Beard and Brire, a righthander, from Krsklne College.

Both Mack and Robinson have had good results from pitching recruits this year, and all In all It has rot been poor yeur for Inexperienced nioundsmen. The latest to come through Is Paul Zahnlser, who handled himself cleverly against Joe Hush yesterday, letting the Yanks hit, but not when ll was too significant. Up to the eighth he yielded only five nits no runs. He showed no finr of Bribe Ruth, so Rahe collected three hits. "Cy" Williams, leading home.

run hitler of the season, gave the fans who atand by the Philadelphia pitchers, in the fixth inning. Fournler pulled a normal triple along the J'flrst base line. It skipped gaily to the screen that shuts off the path to Vthe bleachers, found a hole in the wire netting, crawled through and was homer. So were two runs made. McCarren singled to center and that jvould have scored Fournler anyhow.

McCarren's blow knocked out Morrl-jnn and brought in Jim Baghy, off whom Tom Griffith lifted a homer Into 5be rlplit field bleachers In the seventh. The Superhns scored a run off Morrison In the second on a pass to jFnuniler and singles by High and Taylor. They scored a hltless run In the tilnth off George Hoehler, a rookie from Tulsa, Okla. Bailey walked and Jtole. Johnston walked, Griffith sacrificed and Wheat walked.

Fournler's fly scored Bailey, Blgbee bent out a bunt in the fourth for Pittsburg, took second on Taylor's wild throw due to fulling over Grimes, and scored on Traynor's 'dngle. Carey extruded a pass from Grimes In the seventh. He scored on jElgbee's single and Traynor's force of Blgbee. Bighee singled with two out the ninth, according to the official scorer, but we saw It as a fumble by Johnston. Be that ns It may, Blgbee was allowed to take third unmolested iHd si orpd on Red Russell's single.

Russell took third on Traynor's third Jslnirie; both were left when Johnston made a snappy stop and threw out Grimm. Southpaw Frank Henm, who blanked the Giants, would havi 5-, pitched ttQainst the Rgp-cs in Brooklyn on Sunday, but had a tore shoulder. He may be used In tht Pirate teriet. 1 fl. St.
