ST. JOES BEATEN
 7 BY BLACK ROCKS
By DuniEan.l

Long hits were numerous in the game yesterday between the St Jos eph's and the Black Rocks. Casper ack's drive over the left field fence in the third inning cleared the freight cars on the siding back of the grounds. Wilson also made a home run over the center field fence. In the fifth Jack Gallagher hit a homer over the center field fence and duplicated the feat again in the ninth but the bali struck a. telegraph pole outside the grounds and bounded back and Um- pire Vere1Ie refused to allow him a homer on the hit. This record of three balls over the fence should stand for some time. Black Rocks g; St. Joes 4.

BALL PLAYERS HAVE TO TIP WAITER IN
 BIG HOTELS ON ROAD

St Louis, May 26-Ballp1ayers are like other people when it comes down to tipping the walters, the beIIboys the porters, the chanbermaids, ,the hat-rack boy, etc, etc. The plan usu- ally carried out during protraeted stays is for four or five of the fellows to get together and ''buy'' waiter for the term of their stay.
 The usual purchase price Is g per week per man. At one table at West Badens where the Pirates were stay ing there were six players seated this bringing the servitor sig a. week in addition to his salary. At Hot Springs the same plan will be carried into enect-that Is, maybe it will.
 Those who argue against tips are usually persons who haven't travelled much No one likes to give money aesay for nothing. But, at 11otels-arlS1 no body of lawmakers that was ever called together can eradicate the evil
 Bauplayers of course. cannot afford to hand out the same largesse as can the mill3onaires and ear-mi1lfonaires who stay at the same hotels. But something must be paid, else life is made miserable.
 Last season there was a certain member of the Corsair crew who vow ed he would go through the training trip without handing out a cent in gratuit4es. Starting at West Baden he demanded the best of everything including service-and wound up by getting the worst of everyt ything-in- cIuding service.
 Seated at a table with four ''tippers'' he. was always the last to be served. His soup was cold, while that brought to his team mates was hot and saw ory. He ordered coffee and got tea Ezis potatoes were the ones to be for gotten. He ordered fish and had pork served to him He was always ten or fifteen minutes longer at table than were the ot11ers-and he wasn't the heartiest eaber, either
 The ckambermaid learning that this ,Joha. was a tightwazd. forgot that soap ard towels were essential to cleanli- ness: sometimes she overlooked the slight matter of making the bed, and the autf-tip man soon found himself up against the hardest kind of g proposffiou

A deal between Manager Chance of land which has been hanging fire for some time was closed by wire last night. The deal involved a trade whereby Chance will turn over to the Maps Outffelder Lelivelt and Shortstop Stumpf for Roger Peckenpaugh, utiI- ity inf1e1der of the Cleveland team.
 The trade will materially strengthen the fnf1eld of the High1anders, as Peckenpaugh will fill the gap at sh ortstop which Chance has been .wor- ryfng about since the start of the sea- son. Stumpf has been too cratic at short to be of any value to the High flanders. I1elive1t Is a consistent bat ter. but does not cover much ground in the outer garden and is a slow run ner. The Maps probably will use him as a pinch hitter.

SPORTOGRAPHY

At St. Andrews, Scotland, the home of the worlds most famous golf links, followers Of the great Scotch game will gather today to compete in the annual tournament for the amateur championship of Great Britain. This is a week earlier than last years title meet at Westward Ho! when John Ball. of Royal Liverpool scored his eighth victory, defeating Abe Mitchell, one up for 38 holes
 Mr. Ball, who was born in 1883, first won the amateur championship a quarter of a century ago, at Prest- wich He repeated in 1890 at Hoy loke. in 1892 at Sandwich, in 1894 at Hoylake, in 1899 at Prestwfch, and three times since. In 1890 he defeat ed the crack professionals of England and Scotland in the open champion ship, and. in three subsequent years captured the Irish open championship, besides winning innumerable other tournaments.
 The St. Andrews links, where the big tournament will be staged this week, is the Mecca of golfers through out the world. It was in a little cot ta ee, filled to overflowing with a vast collection of brassies, drivers, putters, cleeks and other paraphernaHa of the game, near the St. Andrews links that Tom Morris, the father of golf, had his abode. It was during Morris life time, and to some extent due to his efforts. that the ancient Scottish game attained popularity throughout the United Kingdom. America and the Continent. During the last quarter century of his life-ne died in his eighty-sixth pear-Morris was admit tedIy the greatest living expert in the royal game, and pious pilgrims from all over the world visited his cottage. Tn 1861, 1882, 1884 and 1887 he held the golfing championship of the world, and he continued to play a '.braw gude game" until well past his eightieth birthday.
 Tom Morris always attributed his long life and abundant health to the old "Soooh'' pastime for and by which he lived. He considered golf the cure for most of the ailments flesh is heir to, and perhaps he was not so very far wrong at that The several miles of walking in the open air. during an afternoon on the links, together with the specialized exercise of the game that develops many important organs of the body, constitute, if regularly in dulged in, about as near to a cure-alI as any to be found on a drugstore shelf.

He raced only two or three years, when the New York legislature passed a law against horse racing-a, circum- stance that proves that history repeats itself and that there is nothing new under the sun, at least in the way of restrictive legislation. Eclipse re- rnained idle until 1921, when the anti racing lid was lifted. In that year he defeated the famous Lady Lightfoot on Long Island course, and then went to Washington and beat Sir Charles a, southern horse. The people Of Dixie were excessively proud of their 'hoss- flesh" and the defeat of their cham pion rankled in their breasts. That q Yankee horse could be better than one born and bred in Dixie was impossible, and in their opinion. The North an- swered this challenge by offering to back Eclipse against any horse in the South, and John c. Stevens put up o20,- coo and invited the southerners to make good. Sir Henry was finally chosen to carry the southern colors in the race, which was to be four mile heats, on the Union track in Long Isl and. Sir Henry was a four-year ola, while Eclipse was then nine. The en- tire course was lined with people from all over the country, thousands of them from the South, while 10000 came from Phila delphia alone, and practically ev- erybody in New York Brooklyn and nearby cities turned out to see the race It is estimated that not less than $2. .oOo, 900 was wagered on the re- suit Tn the first heat Sir Henry won by a length, time minutes.
