clean job or IL, because a club as strong
as the Tigers should not be last. From
present indications 1t does not seem
that McGinnity a strengthened his
team greatly by his trades.
The way Benny Meyer has been going
at second. George Smith will probably
not be an Improvement.
A proclivity to change all the time is
d sign of weakness.
Harry Satin. of Franklin School,
who competed in the public school
games Saturday, deserves great credit
for the grand work he displayed. he
was a member of the senior relay team
of the school, which broke the record
Saturday. This event occurred next
to last on the program. After he had
run his two heats, the trial and final,
he took part in the 120-yard hurdles.
He ran has heat and semi-hnal in this
inside of ten minutes. A few moments
later he competed in the final of the
hurdles and finished in a dead heat
with Thomas York, of the South
Eighth Street School,. Many OF the
spectators claimed that Slatin had won
by q few inches, but the judges called
it 9 dead heat. Slatin was all in and
wanted to toss up a coin to decide the
winner rather than run the distance
again. The Eighth street boy insisted,
however. that the race take place
again. After considerable %wrangling
the young Franklin School boy gave
In. At the shot of the pistol Slatin
started out in the lead. He got as
far as the second hurdle when he
dropped to the ground. He picked
himself up and tried again, but near
the finish fell again. The Eighth, street
lad won easily, but had the Franklin
boy been as fresh as his opponent he
would have run away with the race.
It would look good to have this pair
meet some time and have it out in a
race OF this kind.
Patsy Kimble, a local boy, is devel-
oping into a boxer Of promise. He has
just returned from a successful trip
through Pennsylvania, where he has
met and defeated some Of the best boys
of his weight.
Among his victims he numbers Young
Sam Langford, the Philadelphia light
weight, whom he defeated in eight of
the fastest kind of rounds.
Patsy is in the pink of condition and
is anxious to get going before local
fans. He is ready to take on Willie
Baker, Of Elizabeth; Carl Healey, of
Newark. or any other 124-pound boy at
a minutes notice.
Mike Donlin is probably in for the
same fate as King so far as his stand
ing as a ball player is concerned.
Those layoffs dim the b%rilliancy of the
brightest baseball stars.
Battling Hurley and Fighting Dick
Hyland meet in a ten-round bout at
the North enc A. c., o. Albany, to-
night. This should be a tough fight,
with honors in favor of the Jersey boy
George Stallings is out to build up
his team, all right. Shultz, Brennan
and Welchonce are certainly a prom
Using trio.
Mike Donlin may wind up with the
Phillies.
To the Sporting Editor Of the Evening Star,
Sunday McGinnity received a tele-
BIdIl lIoiii NhOINully DiOliltlS team
tina they were short an inlelder and
asked McGinnity to send them a man
at once for their game with the Bronx
Athletics at Bronx Oval. New York,
The compensation was expenses and
$40. McGinnity at once sent Reams in
his automobile. Reams made three
errors. three assists and one hit out Of
four times up, for an average of 800
in fielding and $50 in batting. Reams's
record In the Eastern League is about
800 fielding and only .064 at batting in
ten games he played.
Certainly these figures show that Nc
Ginnity a given Reams the oppor-
tunity to show all he had in him. How
ever, McGinnity Is still holding on to
Reams. Take, in comparison to this,
tie record of Ralph King, the Newark
boy, who started with the team at
Lakewood. He was used in two games.
In the first game he batted 1000 and
made two runs, stole two bases and
accepted all chances in the outfield
without an error.
In the second game he was loaned
to Lakewood and was put in the in
field. He accepted the six chances
without an error. stole two bases on
Lew ana Dalled 'ouV, IL re-
markable showing for a youngster. He
batted against Parkin and Flater and
they tried hard to get him. The sum
total is that Reams is batting .075 and
fielding about 800. Ralph King batted
$50 ID helded 1000.
These are true figures. McGinnity
has taken Reams along on his Provi-
dence trip as a utility man. King was
left home. Sundays game being no
championship game, merely an exhi-
bition, the players of the Newark team
pulled for King to be given a chance
in the game, and the Newark boy was
very anxious to go in, either in or out
field, but McGinnity would not listen
to it. Z. D. r.
