Chorus Girls Win

A fair crowd was present yesterday
AFTERNOON at Chutes park to enjoy the
annual farce-comedy baseball game be-
tween the Chorus Girls and the Come
dams. The Chorus Girls won by the
score of A to u. In the first inning
Lillian" Wood, catcher for the Chorus
nine, sent the ball out for a three-bag-
ger, which started the game off in big
league fashion. "Bell' Barnyard, the
second girl up, walloped the ball out to
the score board for home run, at the
same time scoring Lillian ahead of
her" Howell Nance O'NeiD, first
baseman, sent a grounder to center
which was too hot for Leslie Cartridge
to handle, and "she" got home on the
error. Not a run was made for the
Comedians until the third inning. They
put up bold bluff at playing the ma
ttonal game, but to no avail. In the
third inning Umpire Van Laslin was
set upon by the players for calling one
of the Chorus Girls out, and 1t re-
quired the combined force of six blue
coats, with drawn clubs, to keep the
crowd from killing" him on the dia-
mond. In the last part of the fifth inn
ing about dozen runs were made and
the score keeper threw up his hands
and job in disgust. While the players
were on the field a robbery was pulled
off in the dressing room, in which
soiu Wdlcn' Nalued at $oV, anu SeNetai
dollars in money were taken from the
pockets of Second Baseman Hartley of
the Comedians side. This is no press
agent story, as the sarcastic kids start
ed to run after the thief, and in the ex-
element a woman who happened to
be in the path OF the crowd was
knocked down and trampled upon. By
ISLANDERS picked her up and she was
removed to corner drug store for
medical treatment. The thief made his
escape.

the last three games he has twirled he
has allowed only eight hits. Cheshire,
as catcher, is a great help to Pima, as
he understands every movement he is
going to make while on the diamond.
McElroy, at first, is a new player on
the team, although an old timer in the
amateur ranks in this city, formerly
having played on the Anderson Chans-
Tor team, which won the pennant in
the Wholesalers league last month. In
last Sundays game against the Belvf-
dere aggregation he got four singles in
five times at bat. Schibbling, change
catcher for the same team, holds down
plays remarkable game. Albert Cas-
teig, shortstop, has shown himself to
be one of the fastest shortstops in
Southern California and his throwing
is accurate at all stages of the game
The outfield also is strong with Smith,
Arguella, Welborn and King. Smith,
in left garden, with a little better
coaching, should develop into a good
outfielder. He has not made an error
in fourteen games and has accepted
thtrty-two chances. Welborn, formerly
of the Tropico club, can be depended
upon getting from two to three hits
in every game. King, in right field, is
capable, also, and is captain Of the
team. PETE, who is the official umpire
of the club, is one of the best indi-
Gator men, of this city and formerly
umpired for the Santa Monica nine in
the California winter ranks. Babe"
Manager O'Connor's son, is mascot of
the team, and although the youngest
member of the team is the best rooter
that the club has had in all games
played. Manager O'Connor is proud
of his team and says he will win the
pennant of the Southern State league
with the bunch he has at the present
time.

Unless all signs fail, one of the
greatest hurdle races ever pulled
off in any country will be wit
messed shortly in the east.
John J. Eller, the latest find of
the Irish-American Athletic asso-
citation of New York, is looking for
the scalp of Forrest Smithson, for
merly of Yale, supposed to be the
best man in the world over timber.
Eller believes he has good
chance of defeating the Oregon
flyer, and, realizing all that such a
victory would mean to him, prac-
tically a newcomer at the game,
is very anxious to arrange a
match. Negotiations for it are
under way.
Eller, who is a member of the
New York police force, has been in
competition for several years. I'm
til last spring no one thought of
CHASING him among champions.
The first inkling of his real speed
came last March in the combined
meet of the Metropolitan and Mid
die Atlantic division of the ANA
teur Athletic union, held in Phila-
delphia. He took the so yard
in excellent time.
After that he improved rapidly
until Sept II, at the Metropolitan
championships at Travers island
he furnished one of the sensations
of the season by defeating the
great Harry Hillman in the 22C
yard hurdles, and then taking the
120 yard high hurdles with such
ease that he was able to look back
on his field as he finished in 16
seconds flat. In the longer race
he was clocked in % flat, a world S
record that replaced the % Is
mark set by Alvin Kraenzlein sew
eral years ago.
A week later the national cham
pionships were held on the same
Travers Island track, and it was

Frank Isbell of the Chicago
White Sox, who is now part owner
of the Wichita (Kan) team of the
Western association, tipped off, at
the minor leagues meeting in Chi
cagO reason why the rest of the
members of Comiskey's club al
ways use a certain expression after
hitting up pop fly.
'Issy" did not report to the
White Sox last spring, but stayed
at home and whipped his Western
league youngsters into shape. To
do this he arranged games with
some of the Independent teams
around Wichita.
In one of these games on foreign
territory, Isbell and his men, on
arriving at the grounds, noticed a
fan who,. at the time the players
entered the field, was the sole &C.
cupant of one of the bleachers.
AS subsequent events developed,
this fan was considered quite a
sport about town, o naccount of
the fact that he was always willing
to wager small piece of change
on the results of the gamse the
local team played.
This day was no exception, and
"his nobs" had laid down a few
small wagers on the outcome of
that days game. The Independent
team showed unexpected strength,
and for about seven innings held
Isbell's team safe.
But the Wichita team managed
to get couple of men on bases,
with no one out, in the eighth in
ming, and things looked blue. The
next two men went out, leaving the
runners anchored on the bases.
This caused considerable salts
faction to prevail among the sup
porters of the home team. The
player swho was next to bat was a
left hand hitter, and, naturally, the
opposing left fielder played in
close.
The Wichita slugger managed to
get hold of fast one and drove it
mile over the left fielder's head,
scoring the two runs and pulling

expected that with the speedy
Shaw of Dartmouth and Chicago,
as well as Hillman, to oppose him,
the young policeman would have
to taste defeat But he didn't.
His race in the 220 yards low
hurdles was one of the most spec
tacular ever seen on the classic
New York A. c. grounds. He held
his antagonists until the last
hurdle and then, with a wonderful
burst of speed, he took the lead
and won safely, reducing the
worlds mark from % to As As sec
onds.
With Shaw and Hillman de-
feated, there remained but two
men between Eller and absolute
supremacy-his clubmate, Charlie
Bacon, winner of the 400 meter
event at the Olympic games, and
Smithson. The latter was out of
reach for the time being, so he
went after Bacon, and met him at
