COLEMAN BREAKS
into The LEAGUE
Gets First Hit Yesterday and
Catches Three Pitchers
Pirates Win.

Big Bob Coleman had strenuous
day of it with Pittsburgh yesterday
and incidentally broke into the Ma
tional league by coughing up a hit,
which was long past due. Bob caught
just three pitchers, i. e., Babe Adams,
Robinson and Camnitz, and played an
errorless game. With Pittsburgh rum
ners on second and third and two out
in the eighth inning yesterday, Mann,
the Boston center fielder, muffed VIII
sons long fly and Viox and Wagner
scored. That muff broke Pittsburgh s
losing streak, the team winning by a
score of 5 to +, after losing six straight
games by one run. Dan OLeary yes
terday received a letter from Coleman,
stating that he had signed a 45-day
contract with the Pirates and that
Dreyfuss had assured him of longer
term contract at the expiration of that
time if he was still showing class. Bob
says the Pirate payroll beneficiaries
are all plugging for him and that
things look decidedly rosy. The score:

$500 IN COLD COIN
TO ELCIN WINNER
Experts Figure Better Than
Mile Minute Speed Will
Be Averaged.

There are few motorcycle racers
who can earn SIPS per hour. That,
however, is what the winner of the
first annual national motorcycle road
race to be held at Elgin, ILL.,, on July
will receive for his days work.
The first prize in the race will be
$500 in gold coin, and experts figure
that better than a mile a minute speed
will be averaged in the gruelling con-
test for gold and honors.
Ray Seymour, the California whirl-
wind, himself a record holder of many
marks, stated this week that he be-
lieved a speed of better than mile
a minute will be maintained through
out the contest.
81 have been over the course" de-
clared Seymour, land it is simply per-
feet. California, where | come from,
is noted for its oiled boulevards, but
the EIgin course is as fast as any
course | have ever seen.
1.-The reason | look for all road rec
ords to be shattered in the Fourth of
July event is because this is the first
national motorcycle road race that
ever has been scheduled ia this coun-
| try. Because of this fact every rider
who enters the race will be more anxi-
Gus to win because of the prestige that
will surround the victor than merely
/ because of the rich prizes offered.
with nearly 100 crack riders and
| the fastest machines all on the course
at the same time, the rivalry for hon
ors will be intense from start to finish,
and this means that each and every
contestant will try early in the race
to get the lead and hold it.
There will be times when the rid
ers will hit up to 80 miles an hour
particularly on the long down-hill
stretch in front of the grandstand
There ought to be some thrilling
sprints along this stretch"
Another of the noted riders holds q
different opinion, and believes tina
steady, consistent riding, and not dare
devil sprint, will land the plum.
"The winner of the race will mo-
average better than so miles an hour
declares Roy Bowser, the Chicago
member Of the Flying Merkel yellow
Jacket team. ct is true that there
VIII be thrilling sprints, and hair-rais
ing dashes in which some of the ma
chimes will swing down the home
stretch at 30 miles an hour, but these
reckless riders are pretty apt to blow
up, or run of one of the turns. Clever
team work at the pits and an ever
pace are the essentials for this hare
grind"

STRAY INTERPRETATIONS.

Well, 1t was tough luck, but then,
as our old friend Omar Khayyam
would philosophically calculate,
There's days and days when you can't
lay up a red"
According to the official statistics,
up until June l, the Boomers are cred
tied with leading the league in field
ing. We are constrained to acquiesce.
With two gone in the second, Mike
Neer whaled a long high one to the
left garden. Ohlin could have nailed
the pill but misjudged it, and the
drive went for three sacks. Carrigan,
who should have earned a Carnegie
medal at this juncture by bringing
him in, whitfield the breeze.
Along about the fifth inning a swarm
Of "wanderlusting" bees invaded the
left garden and Pat Flaharty suddenly
switched his location. There was a
faint suspicion in the minds of the
bl-acherites that the move was not
made primarily for the purpose OF
playing the next batter.
Dan O'Leary i tickled over the
showing Peters is making. Pete is
filling Coleman's shoes mighty well. II

big leaguer's. He is still a trifie awk

and evaded the touch. In fact, ReeC

/ Pete Lister is playing the keystone
and is acquitting himself mighty cred
itably. Pete has been playing first 81
long that he is rather handicapct
away from that station, but he i
working into it fine. Yesterday h,
grabbed five chances without a sem
blance of an error.
Pat Flaharty pulled a smooth one Il
the seventh. He had singled. Brom

when Pat reached second base, h
whanged into Lister so hard that Pet
was almost knocked over. The throy
to first was consequently tardy an
Bromwich was safe. OF course, Pa
was going so fast that he couldn'
slow up.
Reed made a beautiful play on Viz
sons grounder in the fourth. The b.,
was pegged for a clean hit, but Rebe
speared the pill back Of the secon
sack with one hand, while on the dea
run. He winged it TO first, but til
