THE EVENING NEWS, HARRISBURG, THURSDAY, JUNE 5, 1924 PAGE TWENTY Todai Senators to Indians on U. S. Team High School Sprinter May OND CAMP GUBTIN IS linRisjIIIIAIiniAAll i Old Catching Stars Now Passing Out of Majors and Olympic Trip 88 START DRIVE FOR OPEN TITLE OF BOBBY JONES TRACKMEN TODAY fa' i II League picked up two great young catchers in Butch Henline and Bob O'Farrell. Manager Bill Killefer of the Chicago Cubs regards O'Farrell as the best young catcher in the majors. "Who is the best looking young catcher in your league?" I have put that question to many veteran National League stars since the opening of the season.

The reply is usually the same. "Taylor of Brooklyn. 'He's the best young catcher to come up since Frank Snyder was a star with the back in 1014." Taylor reported to the Superbas in the Fall of the 1920 season, graduating from the Charlotte club. Tho catchers on Wilbert Robinson's bench that year were Otto Miller, Frnest Krucger and Harold "Rowdy" Elliott. The leader was Miller, but Otto was fading and failing Kruegor, a hard hitter, could not stop the active bosn runners in the National League, whil Elliott also failed to coma up to the lpiJirue standing.

By BILLY EVANS The standard of major league catching is constantly fluctuating. Good catchers seem to run in cycles. When a crop of veteran stars begin to fade for a few years the catching end of the game suffers. With the quality of major league catchers starting to drop below par because the star of several famous receivers is beginning to 6et, attention is called to the rookies. In James W.

Taylor of tho Brooklyn Superbas the National League believes it has one of the coming stars, a who will soon take his place with the leaders. Veterans Slowing Up A similar condition exists in the National League. Several of tho stars of yesterday are beginning to slow up. Any number of major league leadsrs are crying for catchers. Take the Giants of today.

The catching staff is made up of three veterans, Gowdy, Frank Snyder and Eddie Ain-smith. All have passed the 80 mark. A few yenrs ago the National oA 1" V' i The abbreviated trunk wearers of Edison and Camp Curtin, as yet untested by fire are running on the Island cinderpath this afternoon in their fifth annual renewal. Edison, with eight veterans, is favored to carry off the championship for the fourth time. Camp Curtin's only victory in the yearly races coming last year.

Only one experienced performer, Ommert, will wear the Camp Curtin colors, tho other entries being new men. Rickcrt, Bowers, Hoover, Bowman, Grove, Lutz, Leader, Fite, Smith and Bixler are considered positive point getters for Edison. Although Coach Horace Geisel is entering a band of inexperienced performers, hope is running high at the Uptown institution. The showing made by the Camp Curtin relay team against the Edison quintet at the Te-ccnt collegiate races on the Island has stimulated confidence. Camp Curtin was defeated in this race by a slight margin.

Identification numbers this afternoon will be worn by all the athletes, with Edison wearing even numerals and the odd adorning the backs of Camp Curtin entries. In the drawings for pole positions in the track events, Edison enjoyed an advantage of eight to four. The relay, however, will find Camp Curtin starting at the pole. Earl of Derby Sees His Colt Win Turf Classic LONDON, June D. Tho Sari of Derby, a statesman who has been both foreign minister and war minister of Britain, as well as British Ambassador to France, achieved his life long ambition when, under the drab skies of Epsom Downs, a horse from the Derby stables flashed to victory in the great racing classic which bears the Derby name.

Sansovino won the derby by six lengths and a neck, bringing joy both to the house of Derby and to hundreds cf thousands of small bettors who backed the colt. Lord Derby is reported to have promised trainer Lambton the entire Derby stake, approximately $55,000, and is also making a handsome present to his jockey. Reading League Games Philadelphia Division, Motive Power and New York Division turned in victories in the Reading League yesterday. Philadelphia tripped Atlantic City, 4 to 1, while Motive Power ran away from W. C.

Division, 14 to 2. New York also had an easy day, defeating St. Clair, 10 to 3. FRANK HXJSSEY According to Lawson Robertson, veteran coach, Frank Hussey, New York high school boy, is the coming 100-yrd champion of the country. Kobertson is training young Hussey now with a view to placing him on the Olympic team.

Should Hussey come through he'll be the youngster member of the American sprints team. 3 West Fairview Spurt Is Halted by Lemoyne WEST SHORE LEAGUE W.

Rally in Ninth Wins For Academy Varsity The present diamond stars at the Harrisburg Academy proved themselves more capable than former luminaries in the annual Varsity-Alumni game yesterday. The varsity won, 6 to 5, a ninth-inning rally dciding the issue. The lead alternated throughout and the score was tied by the alumni in the seventh and remained that way lift -'i DEFEAT GIVEN The Senators lost their second ball frame of tho week yesterday by one run, Williamsport applying the bitter medicine, 7 to 6. The dose was extremely hard to swallow, especially aa Elmira had nosed out our club on Monday by a 4-3 margin.

These sympathetic defeats are more than depressing, while each one sees Binghamton nearer the first division. And when the Triplets crash into the upper deck the Senators feature a wicked tumble, unless they stage a determined drive and overtake Elmira. It was Lefty Bill Ward that was lumped by the Grays, although Lefty Bill escapes being charged with the defeat. Lefty, staked to run in first inning, prevented the plate trampled for the first three stanzas, but in the fourth he wavered. Grays Shoot Into Lead Two Williamsport runs shot across the rubber, and then two more were scored by the Gray3 in the fifth.

Exit Lefty, a badly mauled pitcher but yet undefeated. For the Senators did some frenzied sticking in the opening of the fifth and tied the score at four all I before Eggie Egbert, second pitching choice, ascended the mound. debut was tumultuous, three runs being scored before he had time to appreciate the scenery. And these three runs decided the b-'ill game, de-. spite the two tallies the Senators 'gathered in the seventh.

And at that i Eggie only permitted one hit, but he was wild, extremely wild at the start, three free tickets to the take-ff sack. Win Moral Victory If moral victories mean anything, and they don't in the table of statistics, then the Senators won another yesterday. They outbatted the Grays a considerable margin, fourteen hits six, and two of these were homers Lord, but too many swats came at unproductive moments. Thirteen Senators were left pining on the base linos 'when a hit that never came would have changed the decision. 1 The Senators are completing the series at Williamsport today and will hop to Binghamton tomorrow for three more games.

Unly three games now separate the Triplets from the Senators in tho standing, and anything may happen at Binghamton and probably will. HAKRisntma wilijamsport ab. r. h. o.a, ab.r.h.o.a, AifTiflw.lf...

Bobby Jones begins the defense of his title as open golf champion of the United States today over the long, slippery course of the Oakland Hills Country Club, where the rough is rough and the greens are too fast for comfort, Jones, one of the five amateurs in a field of eighty-six starters, ruled an equal favorite last night with Walter Hagen, the master professional.

Yesterday in a team match for the benefit of the benevolent fund of the Professional Golfers' Association, the East defeated the West by ten to eight. Jones looks good here; he has been playing well. Hagen looks good and I also like Mike Brady, who until this year was the Oakland Hills professional. Others whom I believe will require watching are Eddie Loos, and of course, Jock Hutchinson. The course is a difficult test.

The rough is very heavy because of many rains and the greens are fast. The Oakland Hills greens are very undulating. Flat places were left for the holes to be cut but as most of these flat places are in low spots on the reens they have been killed by too much water and it is going to bo difficult to cut the holes in the best places on the greens and at tho same time find good putting surfaces about them. Two of the most remarkable shots played yesterday in the team match re contributed by amateurs. At the sixteenth Jones drove just a foot short of the lake and put his second so close to the pin he had a cinch three.

At the first hole Jesse Guilford, the long hitting Massachusetts golfer, put his second within a foot of the pin and holed a three. Two Exciting Games for B-C Trick League Fans Two exciting games are in store for and Trick League fans today and tomorrow on the Hickok diamond, Ninth and Calder streets. This moring No. 2 Enginhouse plays the Engine men and Trainmen, while tomorrow morning Police Department and Harrisburg Yard Clerksc will clash. Things are flourishing in the end circuit this season and large crewds are witnessing the encounters, which are being hotly contested.

All of the games get under way at 9.15 o'clock New bleachers have been completed and will be used for the first time to day. through the eighth, but the varsity staged a rally in the ninth and forged through to victory. In Cleveland the Athletics emerged from their cellar berth and ascended to seventh place by virtue of a 6 to 5 win over Tris Speaker's Indians. The speakerites, consequently, plunged to the bottom or the league. 'Jr-a HewHpAper Servicc' belt.

Nobody acecpted the challenge upntil late in 1860. At length Tom haddock, of whom we have heard be fore, accepted it "and put up a forfeit at Bell Lifo office. Tom was old and the acceptance was a surprise. He was always ready for a fight, though. He had defeated a lot of good men, among them Aaron Jones; and he had beaten Harry Broome.

Sayers had beaten him. Hurst had never fought in the prize-ring; but had fought in a lot of semi-professional nulls. He was enormous in size six feet two, and could get down to 220 pounds fighting weight. They fought near Basingstoke, eariy in 18BU. The ponce were present, but did not interfere.

The "Infant" towered over Paddock and raddock played a poor game, rushing and forcing the fight. Hurst was no boxer, bus kept his arms swing )g around like a flail. One of the heavy swings caught Paddock on the cheek and Paddock lost all self-control and rushed in and was thrown terribly. The flght ended curiously. Paddock went" down to his knees and Hurst thought the round closed.

Paddock rushed at Hurst and was Just about to hit him from behind, when Hurst, being warned, turned with a swinging blow and caught Paddock in the ribs, under the armpit. It fractured three ribs and Paddock was licked in nine and one-half minutes. ar 0 IdeM SEMI-SOFT COLLARS permanent linen-llko finish. wron't turn yellow WILLO QUALITY 4 far WILLOUNK CEO. P.

M. Hundreds of New iifiv .59 1 ynqrit, 132 3. American lxxxvi the belt and afterwards What to do about the championship belt. The fight had been a draw and who held the belt. Tom Sayers had not been beaten but ho had not won.

It was a new problem for those days. So they held an enormous meeting in London, May 18, and decided what was to be done. It had been proposed to cut the belt in halves and restore the remainder for each, by popular subscription. It was too ridiculous! Finally they decided to give each man a new belt and leave the old one in England to be fought for three times and won. But the fight must be in England.

Heenan wanted no moro of fights in England. Heenan said that if ho had won the old belt, ha would have given it back to Sayers, which nobody believed. Sayers told Heenan that he was the best man he ever met; and that ho considered him worthy to be the champion of England, a statement which the English press resented. It was decided that two belts be made and the order was given to an English silversmith who promised to have the belts ready in six day3. Six days later the crowds again met in the Alhambra, sort of circus arena, and in the presence of an enor mous crowd the men walked in.

arm arm Heenan and Sayers. The master of ceremonies then read an address to them and handed them envelopes holding each hi3 part of the purses. Heenan's belt was presented by John Gideon, who told Heenan that "the name of John C. Heenan will always be remembered with respect as one of tho bravest men that ever en tered a twenty-four foot roped ring. Then a long-winded oration was made to Tom Sayers and the belt and money were given to him.

The ora tor said "Buckle it about your loins, he proud or it: for it is the sure ex pression of admiration of two nations, sucn as a man or your humble station, never had tha proud fortune to receive before." All of which was candy. Sayers took off his coat and put the belt on; which was a job: for he had taken on flesh and the belt was small. Neither of the fighters was an orator and they mumbled their thanks and went out again arm in Arm. Sayers died in 1865. His magnificent physique of 1860, stood only five years more.

It is undoubtedly true that the fighting business did not help his health any. He took to dissipation also heavily for the last five years of his life and would not take physic. He simply could not. A man who could fight hours in a prize-ring with bare knuckles could not take castor oil. He died from such heedlessness.

Castor oil was his master. Heenan never liked, England and after he got his belt he started for America. He left behind himself a chance to make a pile of cash in Eng land by touring with Savers. He wanted to get to America and be feted. He was under contract to fight Sam Hurst in England and tho Staleybridge Infant, as he was called, was mad.

Thore was no forfeiture agreement and so Heenan picked up his 50 and went away. This left Hurst an aspirant for the belt and a lot of cnirer fighters also on the premises. Hurst invited the world to fightt him for $2000 and the Aim 3 By far the most remarkable Shirt value ever seen. A wide variety of smart new patterns, colorings and splendid wearing fabrics.
