II there's one team in the National
league the Giants want to beat. espe-
cially the great and only Chris Math-
ewson, it Is the Chicago Cubs. An
other foolish story penned by {. Webb
Murphy. which appeared in Chicago
paper last week. has aroused the Ire
of Matty and the Giants. Here Is the
paragraph:
In a recent story bearing the name
OF Mathewson II was stated that he
did not have the same amount OF re-
spect for the Cubs pitching stan. and
the team in general. that he did for
several other teams. This statement
follows closely upon our refusal to
purchase insurance from Mr.. Mathew
son. as | told him any insurance that
we had to give would go TO Chicago

concentrate his wind on his work he
would better avail his mission In base
ball than by criticising other clubs.
And so, the Giants and Matty are
after the Cubs. Matty was asked II

CHICAGO. June Kissing from a
mass OF entangled and forlorn athletic
talent, Jim Lavender. the leading citi'
zen of Montezuma, Ca, remarks that
he Is not yet through with the major

the cunning OF the pitching arm. nor

anything OF that nature, but ne mas

to them all.
I4avender's hopes OF remaining In
the big show hang around the use OF
the slow ball, which is as deceptive
as the curve or fast one. To date the
work Of the young cub pitcher has
been bitter disappointment. His
brilliant performance last season
forced him and Evers to expect big
things OF himself this season, and now

PHILADELPHIA, June THE Ath-
letics, although winning Fridays game
from the Tigers. TO 7, re glad that
their ancient enemy from the City OF
the Straits has departed for Wash
ington. One can always be sure OF
battle when the men OF Mack and
Jennings meet, for the rivalry De-
tw cen the two teams Is OF the keenest
sort. Detroit would rather take a
wallop at the Athletics than any other
team in the league. and there Is no
club the Athletics enjoy beating better
than the Tigers Both teams have
thus far met seven times this season,
three at Detroit and four here, the
Athletics winning Ave Of them. One

for the Tigers After knocking Plank

runs. Z to 5, the visitors were destin'

The Tigers failed to score in their

Them the game, to 7.
The damage to the Tigers in the

however. one OF them appears who de-
cares il is easier TO hit major league
pitchers than II is To hit the minor
fingers Perhaps II is more a matter
OF mental determination than physical
ability. At any rate Bobby Veach, OF
the Detroit Tigers. is one OF the once
in-awhiles. He managed TO bat .2s5
In a Class B league with Peoria: he
went To indianapolis In the American
association and batted .2S5; then he
moved up TO Detroit and I'm the ~
games he played at the tail end OF last
season he swatted 342 This year he
is keeping up the old lick. hitting
about 1870, without any indication OF
falling much below that mark. Veach
is not particular about pitchers he op-
poses; he just hits, that's all. When
Veach was with Peoria in Class b
several scouts looked him over and
said he wouldn't do. because he was
too slow and didn't know how to run
bases. II 80 happened that Charley
Barrett, who scouts for the Browns.

In base running and other elements.
He corrected some of Veach's faults
and he showed improvement 30 In

Detroit bought him from Indianapolis
and now he is fixture In the Ameri-
can league. He lacks a lot Of being
fast yet, but juet as Charley Barrett
said, the inherent ability is there and

on the bases. In the meantime he
hits. and that's the item. A man who
