WORTHlNGTONS TO PLAY
FAST MORRlSTOWN TEAM

George Boice, the Worthington
Baseball Clubs star HEAVIER will, In
all probability, faee the Morristown
A. A. at Morristown tomorrow after
noon. Boice is pitching like he never
did this season before. Tomorrow's
game, however. should be a severe
test for him as he will be opposed
by one Of the best slabsters around
Morris County, in Walter Swenson,
Swenson recently returned from the
o. and =. League, where he vas max
ing good, but an offer from Manager
Todd caused him to jump that or
g|anization and jog to Morristown,
where he is the mainstay in the box.
1t should be a great game and a big
crowd is expected to turn out.

patrick chimed in with three clean
line singles, walked once and accept
ed a base on balls. George Bell has
yet to pitch in a game and fail to
make at least one hit. He only had
one safety yesterday, but that bingle
was worth twice the ordinary value,
because IL was a double, and came at
the start of an inning.
1t would be a dull day without Ed
die Zimmerman executing something
remarkable on the defensive at third
base. Eddie jumped into the air yes
terday and gebbled in Purtelrs line
smash with one fin. Vaughn failed to
start his usual double play yester-
day, but there was no occasion for 1t.
as Bell kept the visitors off the bases.
Bell allowed the Royals four hits,
and in only one inning did the Lush
men succeed in punching two of
them. and then, as there were two
departed. the consecutive swatting
did not damage. Twice double plays
cut down Tiger runners, and once
with three on base Akers compelled
Vaughn to hop to Burtell.
Twice Kirkpatrick scored from
third on inield outs. Once, in the
first. he walked, took third on Col
lins's single and scored on Demands
infield out. In the fifth singles by
Kirkpatrick and Collins, followed by
Seymour's infeld out. again enabled
Kirk to score. In both cases Cunning
ham assisted to Bransfield and each
time he cut down a hit, though he
had no chance to make a play at the
plate. Bell himself carried over the
third run, when he doubled in the
seventh and scored on singles by
Kirkpatrick and Seymour.
Cunningham made a clever catch of
Collins's liner in the seventh and
turned it into a double play.

GREAT GOLF

Not since the days he made Chic
Evans go thirty-eight holes did A,
w. Hammer play such great golf as
yesterday, when he led the field in
the qualifying round Of the Fox Hills
golf tournament. Mr.. Hammer got a
rs, which, considering the remodeled
coure, was a very GOOD performance.
In second place was j. w. Nc
Menamy, of Dunwoodie Country Club.
MIR. McMenany was there with ~.

So long as George Bell allows an
Is bound to be a winning pitcher.
Against the Royals, who occupy the
caliope position in the International
League parade, George scored q shut
out yesterday. Meanwhile the Tigers
piled UP three uns, Bells required
number. against the steam whist
lers," and the Tigers tramped home
in front again, battering down the
hoodoo barrier that has stood be-
tween them and the 800 mark so
many weary weeks.
Things are breaking most pleasant
ly for the striped brisad these days.
While Newark was w%alloping Lush's
laborers yesterday Rochester was adj
ministering a defeat in Jersey City
to the Pests.
This combination of events leaves
us four games behind the Shelters
In the victory column, or two full
contests in the rear of the Schlaiy
company. Thus by winning twice
more while the jerseys are losing we
will be able to rub hubs with the Jer-
ssy City float In the International
League procession. More tersely told:
wen be tied with Jersey City for
third place.
Though the Tigers made ten hits
yesterday it cannot be said that they
were exceptionally strong in the
pinches. but their base wallops were
more effective because most of them
were made to lead off the inning, so
that the base runner vas able to move
around to a position to score before
three put-outs had been scored
against us. The Tigers hits were
made with either none or n out.
This is quite successful when 1t
comes to MISUNDERSTANDING. kirk

BERLIN WOULD BUILD
NEW OLYMPIC STADIUM

BERLIN, June 2S.-An invitation to
hold the next Olympic games in Ber-
lin in a new $500 900 stadium will be
extended to the International Olympic
Committee at its coming meeting in
Stockholm. 1t has been understood
that Germany would be awarded the
games as soon as Berlin was in a
position TO offer suitable accommoda-
tons, and as this condition has now
been met by the patriotic offer of
three Berlin organizations to assume
the financial responsibility for the
construction of the stadium, the
