uPPER--PAUL DERKUM, FROM A SNAPSHOT LOWER
MAKING TINE ON THE NEW MOTORCYCLE SAUCER TRACK


fifteen of the kind in various parts
of the country.
Prince had built about 30 saucer
tracks for bicycle racing before he
began building motorcycle tracks
Originally he was professional
bicycle rider, and came to this coun
try from England when the old high
wheels were stilf in use in the
early eighties.
The Los Angeles track is 3Is laps
to the mile. 1t occupies ten acres
George Kreamer, who has been in
motor-paced races in Europe for a
number OF years. is the manager.
While riders are here from ali
parts of this country and Europe

done most of the record-breaking
to date An even more daring rider
is Paul Derkum, the Pacific coast
champion.

Throwing out three runners in
succession on one batted ball is
something queer in baseball, and
Jimmie Collins, Boston's old great
third baseman, holds the record
for it. He pulles off the trick in
Boston in 1902 and three Cleveland
players were the victims. Bradley
was on second and Jack Mccarthy
ON first, when Dutch Gochnauer
sent short single to left. Collins
got the ball and shot it to Catcher
Farrell yard ahead of Bradley.
Mccarthy was scOoting toward
third at this juncture and Farrell
threw back to Collins to get Jack.
The toss was poor and Mccarthy
tried to score. Jimmy proved a
good retriever. He chased the ball
to left, recovered it, and spun it
home in time to get Mccarthy.
Gochnauer, who had been hav-
ing a nice nap on second all this
time, now started for third, and

LOS ANGELES, May 1.-THE
motorcycle game promises to
spread. All the worlds motorcycle
records from one mile to 20 have
been smashed on the new saucer
track at Los Angeles. Within a
few weeks the records up to 100
miles will undoubtedly come tum-
bling down.
With the exception of a cement
track at Munich. the new track in
Los Angeles is the only one in the
world built exclusively for motor
cycle racing. But It will not have
this distinction long. Jack Prince.

BY TIP WRIGHT

Do you remember what John Nc
Graw said at Hot Springs? No?
Well, he said: IL want men with
something besides bon in their
heads for my ball team"
And naturally it was taken for
granted that the young men hired
by the immortal "Muggsy" possess
ed the required amount of ''some-
thing besides bone" in the think
foundry. But do they? Circum-
stances indicate the contrary.
For instance, here's the New
York team at the bottom of the
ladder, trying to knock the base
ment floor out of the league for a
further drop. While his team is
giving this subcellar exhibition
John J. is confined to bed, probably
fretting himself into fever over
the miserable showing Of the men
he stakes Judgment upon.
Just think of the chance offered
by McGraw's absence for a man
with brains. Fred Tenny, exBos-
ton manager, Is acting in the ca
pacity of leader during his chiefs
illness. And he hasn't delivered the
goods. There is no-~3oger Bresna-
han to assume command through
sheer ability. Wit opportunity
dangling in front of their noses,
not player has grasped it.
The position OF this presumably
great team really does more than
anything else to prove what lead
er McGraw is. With him in COM
mand the Giants are a formidable
array. Without him they are as
helpless as ship without a rudder.
No wonder this fighting Irishman
is the highest priced man in base
ball His absence has proved his
worth.
McGraw's personality made the
Giants. His resource, his will pow
err, his ability to seize every open
ing, his judgment and strategy,
kept the team in the running when
without him, regardless of his train
ing, they are helpless.
What is true of New York is true
of many another great team. Take
Detroit, for instance. Does anyone
believe the champions of the Amer
can league could win two pennants
in succession without Hugh Jen-
nings, who, schooled in the same
class with McGraw, has also be-
come one of baseball's leaders?
McGraw and Jennings are great
generals. They head fine organiza-
tions when on the job, but when
necessity compels their absence,
where, oh where, is the machine
they builded?

BLACK CATS TOOK
SEVEN STRAIGHT

Seven straight off of Vancouver
that is the big killing the Aber'
deem Black Cats made on their
home grounds. They put the fin
ishing touches on yesterday by
cleaning up the Champions in both
games. Good hitting in the after
noon and sensational fielding in
the morning is what did it. Engle
pitched the morning game for Van
couver and Hall occupied the box
in the afternoon. Most and Per-
noll pitched for Aberdeen.

He was hurried bepore Police Judge
Razor and fined 500, with an alter
native of 10 days. in Jail. He paid
the fine. He left court and was re
arrested on a Ventura charge, and
an officer took him south. He paid
another 500 fine.
The distance from Los Angeles tC
this city is about 10 miles. The
fine is the heaviest inflicted here
and the local auto club will ask the
council to pass stringent anti
record making ordinance that will
effectually kill the game through
this city.

in the air with his fast one he
could come back with one of the
most wonderful curves I ever saw.
| remember one year l had 1913 put
outs back of the bat, which is a
marvellous record for a catcher.
1T was all due to the RUDE,
who, that season, averaged 10
strikeouts to a game. And don't
make a mistake in thinking Wad-
dell is crazy. He may like to go
off on fishing trips and all that
sort of thing, but once he gets on
that rubber he is pretty shrewd
individual. He has world of
baseball sense, which in a battle on
the diamond means more than
brains"
