The audacity of melodrama on the part of that they blinked through sought relief in a growl once managed the Reds By W. O. McGeehan their mad course of kicking all the props from race yesterday by shutting out Patrick Aloythe performers Giants at the the Polo bases and Grounds by couple the of score bits of on a Ross Young had the Reds so utterly bewilderecthe last few innings. Patrick Moran's at Umpire Hank O'Day.

But Hank, though he himself, had no sympathy for a fellow sufferer, and Pat lost even at that game. It was not the fact that Ross slammed Slim Sallee for a homer into the right field stands. This was a mere incident in Young's performance for the afternoon. What made the multitude gasp and started the discouragement that lingered with the Reds was peg that he made from far right field. It happened in this fashion: Roush annoyed Rube Benton by slashing a hit through short, Kopf shot out another hit that went bounding through second into right field, and Roush started on dash for third.

It wag 21 logical move. Roush is one of the fastest of base runners, and Kopf's hit was a good, long, safe hit. Ross Young scurried after the ball and nailed it just as Roush was well on his way to third. He poised himself for just as, instant a and then made throw. It WAS not a relay.

It travelled with what the rifle expert would call a very flat trajectory directly to third base, where Heinie Zimmerman was waiting. Roush slid. The ball snapped into the third baseman's hands. Zimmerman put it on Roush as the Red outfielder slid for the bag. More Like a Comet Star will not do for a term for Young in a game where the lingo runs to exaggeration, The youngest Giant is more like a comet.

throw made some 35,000 gasp. About 4,000 more would have gasped, but they had to close the gates at the Polo Grounds yesterday and turn that many away. The terror of Young was in evidence in the sixth, when Neale beat an infield hit and Groh hit to right field. Pat Moran signalled Neale to stop at third. It was wise, for another fat trajectory throw by Young was on its way to cut down the runner.

Another remarkable feature of the game is that Hal Chase got his first hit since the signing of the armisticenot the armistice between himself and Mathewson, the other. statistician declares that it was his first out of twenty-three times at bat. but atatisticians sometimes boot one. It was a two-bagger. This may or may not be taken as an indication that Prince Hal is about to hop right into the stride that had him leading the league once, The opposing pitchers were the two lop-sided veterans- Sergeant Rube Benformerly Cincinnati, and now with the Giants, and Sheriff Sallee, formerly a Giant and now a capitalist in the employ of Pat Moran.

Sallee became peeved when he saw his teammates wilting under the dash of the old Giant machine, of which he used to be a highly esteemed cog, He was taken out for 8 pinch hitter in the seventh shortly after Young had landed on him for a home run, The Giants whirled their first run ever in the second inning. Larry Doyle led off with a smatsh to centre field. Kauff connected with the ball, but Neale made a pretty catch. Zimmerman got his base on ballg. Fletcher hit to right field and Doyle for home.

It seemed certain that started relay would nail him, but Doyle slid under Wild Bill Raridan. Zimmerman scooted for third and Fletcher reached second on the play. With two out Benton was standing pensively by the plate wondering what sort of delivery Sallee would hand an old team mate. While he was deliberating Zimmerman started to steal home. He would have made it, too, but Benton stood watching Sallee and Heinie had to excute 8 curve slide around the Rube.

He was tagged by Rariden while he was attempting this contortion feet. Zim Expostulates With Rube When he arose and brushed himself eff Zim expounded upon the eccentricities of left-handed pitchers, past and present, to the bewilderment of Benton. "What did I do?" demanded Rube in injured tones." I huin't done nothing to you, Heinie." "That's what's the matter." retorted Heinie. "You didn't do nothing. That's what's the matter with all southpaws.

They never do nothing. They ain't got sense enough to do nothing." Well, anyhow, Rube comes from the Carolinas, hound dogs of which section sit on their haunches and howl rather than rise when hornets are stinging them. The Gianto got their second run in the Nith by the sheer force of smashtag at Sheriff Saller. With one out, Fletcher drove a double to left. Lew McCarty, who, according to reliable atatisticians, if Much there be.

is now among the five hardest hitters of the league, brought Fletcher home with a hit to left. The two runs in the sixth wr achieved by the comet, Young, and to star that was and may be again, Chano. Young did his bit in nonchalant fashion by imply slamming the ball into the right field bleachera and trotting ail the way around the track, Then came the awakening of Hal Chase, who had reached base only in his official capacity an first baseman do seldom this season that he has been "having hardly any but official relation with it. Chase slammed the ball to far left for a two-bagger. That awakened bia lost interest in his surroundings.

On fly by Doyle he made a dash for third, reaching it 07 the head foremost slide, of which he is one of the very few remaining exponents. Then Kauff slapped one into the ground in front of Bill Rariden. Chase made another head foremost and beat Baziden to the plate for a run. The run WAR initiated and coneluded by Lew McCarty, With one out Law drove triple to the centrefeld fence. Burns got a base on balls.

Then same the wirelens for the double steal. Burns started for second, and the Dede became bewildered.

Down to Defeat: Pfeffer in Great Form Thrills came thick and fast for the record crowd of 25,000 that crammed its way into Ebbets Field yesterday to witness the contest between the Brooklyn Dodgers and Chicago Cubs. Fate was fittingly kind to the Dodgers, for their victory by a score of 4 to 3 sent the Flatbush rooters home in a happy mood.

Brooklyn's winning tally came in the ninth inning, through EL terrific swat by Ed Konetchy, after Chicago had evened the score at 3-all in its half of the final frame. Grover Cleveland Alexander, the Cub ace, made his third start of the season, and while failing to record his first victory, showed that he was rapidly rounding to his pre-war days form. True Alexander did not twirl the full contest. lIe retired from the fray in the seventh in favor of.an unsuccessful pinch hitter. With the exception of the fourth and fifth innings, in which frames the Dodgers collected six hits for three runs, Alexander was always the master.

Big Jeff Pfeffer was on the mound for Brooklyn and the victory was his sixth straight. At times Pfeffer wavered, and it was during these tense moments that the Brooklyn infield rallied to his support. Pfeffer rose to the heights in the ninth, when the first three Cubs up hit safely. Backed by splendid support, Big Jeff turned back the next three batters. Break Comes in Ninth Olson reached second.

Luck for Dodgers Brooklyn enjoyed the breaks of the game, and one of these coming in the ninth inning started the Flatbush men to their victory. After Olson and Magea had been retired by Claude Hendrix, Griffith who had succeeded Alexander, lined to Pick, at third base. The Cub failed to hold the ball and in this eagerness to toss out Griffith hurled it to the right field stands. Grifwent to second on the error. Hendrix" walked both Zach Wheat and Myers, forcing Griffith around to third base.

It was here that Konetchy shot one through Pick's legs to left field, scoring Griffith with the winning run. Hollocher, the Cub shortstop star, was credited with a freakish home run 111 the first inning that enabled the Windy City team to take a twolead. After Pick had died an easy victim, Magee to Konetchy, Flack singled to centre, Hollocher then hit sharply along the right fold base line and Griffith tore in for A shoestring catch. However, the ball came so fast that it struck Griffith's clove and bounded into the stand. Flack, of course, scored in advance of him.

The first Brooklyn bit came In the fourth, when Myers beat out a bunt along first base line and was safe on a close decision. Konetchy then smashed one to centre, on which Myers raced to third. Konetchy stolo second, Malone fanned. Alexander was hit freely in the fifth. Krueger singled to left and Pfeffer surprised with a single to right that chased Krueger to third.

Oison continued the bombardment with a safety to right, scoring Krueger and advancing Pfeffer to second. Magee sacrificed and Griffith followed with 8 two-bagger when Flack in right field lost the ball in the Bun. Pfeffer scored and Wheat was passed and then followed 8 piece of good luck for the Brooklyn team. Myers hit a bounder along the right field base line. Merkle succeeded in touching out Myers, but Olson had scampered over the plate with the third run of the inning.

Konetchy ended the hurricane inning with 8 foul fly to Hollocher. The Dodger rooters had an uneasy time Lear and in the ninth, when Hollocher, Barber hit safely in order beginning the inning. However, Merkle struck out on a ball that fairly brushed his shirt, while Mann fouled to Krueger and Wheat made a fine catch of Killifer's low liner. Wheat opened the eighth with 8 triple, and although Myers and both were passed to first by lendrix not a run especially resulted. Lee The Brooklyn infield, Magee, proved nimble porformers, furnishing three double plays.

Around the Links With Grantland Rice Garden City opened the tan tournament season with its accustomed When a strong field battles over a fine course what more can you ask? And now we come this week to the second canto of the tournament libretto, when Sleepy Hollow offers its course to the and otherwise of the district.

The Sleepy Hollow tournament opens on Thursday with an eighteen-hole medal test, and the field here promises to be even stronger than the one which started last week. bor in addition to Marg-1 ton, White, Kerr, Topping and others there is a strong probability that John C. Anderson and Ned Sawyer will attempt to keep the main trophy in the possession of Westchester hands. Sleepy Hollow offers El big changel from Garden City. The latter presents course, bereft of hills and hollows." It is far from being flat in the accopted senso of the word.

But its terrain doesn't jut into the sky. At Sleepy Hollow there are many holes where the hills hold guard and where -ravines scowl back at the contender. Here you have not only a test of golf but one of endurance, especially over the 36-hole route. As it is variety that makes for the spice of life, these contrasts in courses are highly acceptable. If John Anderson and Ned Sawyer enter, as they expect to, Westchester will have two able guards who are playing fine golf.

Anderson is romping at a merry clip this spring. He has added a foot or more to his back swing, and this addition has added many yards to his drive. A recent 71 at Siwanoy is a fair answer to his May speed. Sawyer is also playing well and is always a rugged opponent in a match. Cornelius J.

Sullivan and John Willard Wants To Postpone His Trip to Toledo TOLEDO, Ohio, May 18, Jess Willard, the heavyweight champion, matched to meet Jack Dempsey here July 4, to-night telegraphed Tex ard, promoter of the contest, requesting an extension of time in reporting here for training so that he might finish some business affairs in Los Angeles. Rickard reluctantly consented to the request, but advised the champion he would be expected May 24. "I want both men on the scene Ru the public can judge for itself the merits of the boxers," Rickard said. "Dempsey has mora than carried out his end of his agreement. It's up to Willard to do the game.

However, I do not want to interfere with his personal affairs, and if he is training on the coast I. have no serious objection to a delay of a few days." Willard will probably establish training quarters at a former amusement resort within a mile of Dempsey's camp.

The Yankees got the brand of pitching and hitting to-day that should win ball games, but they did not show to advantage in their fielding, and they lost to the Indians by the score of 4 to 3. Pipp and Bodie were the offenders who allowed a well pitched performance of George Mogridge get away from the Yankees. Ping escaped the error column because he got the benefit of a doubt when miscued in the seventh, trying to make a shoestring catch. Two slips in the, Yankee defance came close together the seventh inning when the Indians should have been set down without a run. Two home players had been retired in order before Joe Wood singled to centre, and then came the slip by Pipp.

He let Gardner's grounder slip through his fingers and that put runners on first and second bases. Wamby followed with a hit to centre. Ping tried to pick it off the grass tops, and it rolled through his feet and on to fence. Wamby got a home run on the hit, and the three rung which scored on the play settled the game. It was a nip and tuck game up to this stage, and gave a crowd of more than 20,000 Cleveland fang several chances to cheer and groan in turns.

The home team specialized up to the fourth inning in getting runners on the bases, and then the Yanks would see that they were stranded there. Mogridge allowed eight hits, several of them scratches and all far enough apart to do little damage if his support held up. The southpaw gave way in the eighth to a pinch hitter and the Indians got their Inst hit off Allen Russell. Coveleskie, usually a big puzzle to the Yankees, saw many a slam ride on its way to vacant spots in the outfield, and as late as the ninth inning Fohl had a relief hurler warming up in the bull pen, fearing that Coveleskie might have to go, However, Covey was not hit in bunches, Yankees got no more than two in any frame. Every hit made by the visitors was AL solid smash to the outfield, untouched by any fielder.

The same could not be said 1 about the home hits. A pass to Tris Speaker started the Indians on their way in the third inning after fine opportunities to score had escaped them in the first and second. Wood's sacrifice put Tris on second, and he moved another base homeward while Baker, after a great stop, wag throwing Gardner out at first. Then the unexpected happened. With two out and a runner on third Wambsganss bunted.

It was a perfect bunt, too, and he made first safely while Speaker dashed over the plate, In the fourth the Yankees knotted the count. Peck was hit with a pitched ball, galloped around to third on Pipp's single to centre and registered on Baker's single to right. In the sixth the Yanks took the lead, scoring another run on Mogridge's double to rifiht, Vick's infield out and a squeeze play. Peck turned the trick and went out at first while Mogridge scored. Chapman fanned to start Cleveland's seventh, and Speaker grounded to Fipp.

Wood singled to left, Pipp fumbled Gardner's hopper and Wamby lined to centre. The ball shot through Bodie and went to the fence, three runners scoring before it was returned. The Yankees furnished EL little scare in the Peck hit over Graney's thatch for two bases, Pipp fanned. Baker hit a high fly to Gardner and Pratt doubled, scoring Peck. A hit would have tied the score, but Lewis struck out.

Pol signed the papers yesterday.

He was threatening to turn merchant or gentleman farmer or something, but McGrow finally convinced him that a pitcher's place was in the box. With Toney here and with the hurlers already signed, the natural inquiry is, "What do you mean, McGraw has no pitchers?" It is reported that McGraw is dickering with Stallings to get Nahf from the Braves for Davey Robertson and a consideration. McGraw denies this. Gonzales, the Cuban catcher, arrived verterday.

The American League shortly will follow suit. The increase in the limit in the National League was brought about largely by John J. McGraw, of the Giants, who knows more about baseball, inside and out, and who has the game more at heart than of any the "czars" of the pastime.

McGraw particularly knows what the New York baseball fans want. He knew long ago that the hardest thing for a New Yorker to realias is the necessity of economy. When he has a baseball team it must be a winning baseball team. He has no use for the loser and no regard for the piker. There are some who hold to the idea that a baseball team should consist of nine men, with perhaps a couple of extra man or two.

The pitchers and a utility oldtimers resent the idea of a team that carries a list of specialist pinch hitters, men who can hit left-handed pitchers, men. who run in a pinch for a slow man on the bases, baseball etc. But big league must be big. Then, too, the baseball player is perhaps the most brittle of all athletes. Take the case of the Yankees, who started a season under Bill Donovan with a full and generous complement of players.

In a few weeks their best players were out of the game through injuries, and they had catchers at first and pitchers in the outfield. They got nowhere. This is because the American game, like American The business, calls for specialists. successful ball players, like the successful business men with some rare exceptions- specialists. It is well known that Colonels Ruppert and Huston, owners of the Yankees, always have opposed a low player limit.

They true in the are sportsmen, game for the love of the game, and have been spend money to put the New York Americans on But the to willing top. league rules have hampered them. The advent of Sunday baseball has limit removed the necessity of a low player on the ground of economy. It will bring a great deal more money-into the game, and that money is from Owners of coming New York fans. the outside teams get a fair share of here.

this when their teams play It is up to them to assent to expenditures which brand of baseball. will better the Otherwise they will not draw in New York. heads organized baseball should not be The too thick to recognize this. The High Cost of Passes Montgomery Ward, the two Garden City veterans, proved again that they still maintain the steadiness of the old days, They know how to hang on and give battle to the last stroke, and neither is ever beaten until the match is well over.
