Famous Brooklyn Outfielder
Triples in Third Inning
With Three "On."
DAHLENlTES WIN, 7 TO 2
IFrom n stan Correspondent.1


SAVANNAH, Ca, March 29.-New-
ARK has a darn good" chance for the
International League pennant, but
Newark has no Zach Wheat. That S
one reason why the Tigers did not
win the first sl5lrmish with the Brook
lyn gang yesterday. That 7-2 score
was a surprise, because 1t came so
unexpectedly. The manner in which
that Brooklyn gang hit and ran the
bases yesterday would have put either
of the teams in the worlds series last
fall in the side show.
Talk about speed on the paths.
there isn't a man in the Dodger line
up who can't travel over the turf at
a mile-a minute clip. The way they
pulled the poor Tigers tail on their
hit-and-run plays speaks volumes for
either Captain Daubert or Manager
Bill Dahlen, whoever it is that has
been drilling these big leaguers.
The Dodger team would look very
familiar to Newark fans, with Fisher
and Benny Meyer performing, and
Enos Kirkpatrick on the side lines.
Benny hasn't had any practise at all
and is overweight, but he doesn't
need any practise. He swatted one
for two bags, and Bob Fisher just
nailed one three sacker and beat out
a bunt. Benny Meyer swears he had
no idea of playing baseball again until
ten days ago, but we still maintain
that Ben was Kidding all the time.
He said that his wife finally consent
ed to let him go when he told her
of the wonders of the East and prom
ised to bring her to New York as soon
rs the Dodgers return North.
1t is our humble opinion that Ben
wanted to avoid the most tedious
part of the training trip. the first two
weeks in the South, which are always
filed with drudgery for the diamond
athletes.
Enos Kirkpatrick has been hitting
harder than any other member of the
Dodger club, but they have no room
for him on the Brooklyn Club. What
Newark needs is one more good hit
ter. Why can't we have Enos? Kirk
makes no bones about the fact that
he'd prefer to perform in Newark as
a regular at second base rather than
do utility duty in Brooklyn. Dahlen
has been playing Enos at shortstop.
Kirkpatrick does not like any infleld
position but second base, and Cut
shaw has been going so well Dahlen
can't break up his combine ton, 1t
seems.
Lefty Aitchison, from a glance at
the box score. didn't look, like the
world beater we have touted him TO

BASEBALL NOTES

Harold Janvrln, last season with
Jersey city, Is doing good work with
the Boston Reds.
Schmidt, Simmons, Paddock and
Mcmillan were supposed TO be Ro-
chesters regular infield for the COM
ing season, but to date only the first
two have signed their contracts.
President McCaffery, of the Toron-
toes, and President Hermann, of the
Cincinnati club, had a conference at
the latter city. 1t Is thought that
an effort is being made to secure a
first baseman from the Reds.
Dummy Taylor will soon report TO
the Montgomery team.
Chick Gandill. Of the Senators, is
under doctors care, suffering with
a lame back.
Clyde Milan has signed his contract
at last He gets a nice raise.
II that Boston team could ever
learn to field it would be a marvel
IL it's pitchers could pitch: but any
way. the lads can hit that ball.

For the first time since Frank
Kramer became a star bike rider the
cycle-racing season at Newark will
open without the wonderful Yankee
/ athlete in the list of entries. Kramer
is racing in Europe. and will not re-
turn until the second week in April.
. The remarkable success of cycle
racing in Newark and other Eastern
cities has conferred in Kramer, who
has been the champion of America for
twelve years.
The longer he retains the title the
greater the interest in the sport be-
comes.
Each succeeding season a new crop
of foreign champions comes to New
ark in quest of Kramer's honors, but
for twelve years they have returned
beaten-soundly and thoroughly
beaten. Kramer is no longer a spring
chicken. but as the years go on he
wins with greater ease from his
younger opponents who are strong in
the vigor of youth and come highly
touted from their native countries.
The exact phase of the interest in
the sport now seems to be ''how much
. longer will Kramer last?" This same
question is of more than passing in
I rest to the promoters, for the theory
advanced that without Kramer
ere will be no interest in the sport.
Fall of Champion Is Delight.
In every sport the fall of a cham
plon is the big event. The fans de-
light in the downfall of the king
and the GROWING of his successor.
!. It has been a long wait for the top
ping of Kramer. In most sports
champions do not last more than one
or two seasons. The longer the walt
the keener the interest in cycle rae
ing becomes. This year there will be
seven foreign stars after Kramer's
title.
Five of them are now at Newark,
and they will compete in the races
which will be run at the opening
meet at the Newark Velodrome to-
morrow. They are Jackie Clarke, Al
fred Grenda, Alfred Goullet, Paddy
Hehir and Gordon Walker. All of
these riders are first-string men, and
they have shown their speed here
before. Clarke has long been a con-
tender for Kramer's title, and Goul-
let has made an effort for two sea-
sons to wrest the title from Kramer.
Last season Grenda was the runner
up in both the championship OF
America and the worlds champion
ship. He did not press the Yankee
hard in either event, but he is a
greatly improved rider and is ex-
pected to give the champion a hard
hght this year.
GoulIet Most Likely Contender.
The most likely of the foreign con-
tenders is Goullet. Last season at
Salt Lake City Goullet practically
outclassed very good field Of first
raters, and in addition he broke near
ly every record established there by
Kramer and Clarke in previous years.
He won the western championship

by a big margin, and won the major
ity of the open races about as he
pleased. Among the riders who
bowed to defeat before the speedy
Australian were Clarke, Iver Law
son, Hehir, Fogler, Walker. Eddie
Root and other classy sprinters.
5 In the races tomorrow it looks as
though the Australians would sweep
the boards. There are four profess
sional races on the program, two of
which are handicaps. In the latter
events the handlcaps will figure
largely in the results, for at this early
stage of the season the Handicapped
is unable to get an exact line on the
condition and form of the riders. AS
a result they are handicapped large
Nv on reputation, and mistakes may
be made. The men on the scratch
mark are Goullet, Grenda, Fogler and
Clarke, and there has been no mis-
take in placing them there. They are
the class of the field, and each heat
will have a scratch rider. The two
Yankee riders on whom the task OF
staving off the attack of the foreign
ers will rest are Joe Fogler and Frank
Cavanagh. Just at present they are
the two fastest American riders here.
Fogler will surely cut in for his share
of the prizes and Cavanagh is ex-
pected to give good account of NM
self The big fellow has improved
since he was last seen in competition
here. In the Stanley handicap, which
is the feature race on the program,
Cavanagh has been given a mark of
thirty yards, which is a very liberal
allowance for a rider of his speed.
From that position the local rider can
easily be figured the favorite. 1t
would have been no mistake to have
placed him on scratch.
The Tandem Race.
In the tandem handicap at two
miles for professionals the best team
In the race is an Australian-A meri-
can team. made up of Joe Fogler and
Alt Goullet. Unless the marks arc
too much for them they will be the
winners. The next best team in the
race is the Paddy Hehir-Alf Grenda
combination. They have received
small allowance. just enough to al
low the backmarkers to get off to
good start.
with the Amateurs.
In the amateur events, Donald Me-
Dougall. the winner of the champion
ship of the world, and the cham
pionship of America last year, Is the
favorite, and in the two open events
he should be the winner. The half-mile
handicap is Just to his liking and he
will come very near winning this race
regardless of the handicaps. The two
amiel open is at his mercy unless there
is a new star among the simon pures
uncovered. There is the usual novice
and a two-mile invitation for the
second string professionals. The Ave-
mile open is at his mercy unless there
heat. with the usual lap prizes to
make 1t fast. The first race will be
called at o'clock.

ITHACA, n. Y, March 29.-"If q
college ball player wants to devote
his summer vacation to ball playing

something" said Dr. Albert II.
Sharpe. Cornell football, baseball and

DIR. Sharpe said as long as the COLI
leges had rules forbidding summer
ball they should be lived up to, but
he believed it would be only fair to
all of the college baseball men to use
their ability through the summer and
let them make just as much money
al they can.
There are many poor fellows on
college teams who could materially
add to their finances by playing in
summer MONTHS said DIR. Sharpe.

FRANK FARRELL HAS
PEN CHANCE SIGNED
HIS CONTRACT WITH

NEW YORK, March 29.--When

he found a package from President
Johnson, of the American League.
1t contained glass case In which
was the pen used by Chance when
he signed the New York Clubs con-
tract last January Johnson also sent
letter, saying that he believed the
pen was a good omen and that the
signed contract meant baseball pros
perity for the league in this city.
II is said that Chance has asked for
waivers on several OF the players in
Bermuda. As 1t is foregone con-
clusion that Chance will carry not
more than twenty-one men through
the championship season, it is sur
missed that the waivers involve Mar
tin. Stump. Priest, HARRISON, Hoff
and Green. 1t IS believed that strings
will be tied to Hoff and Green, as
Chance expects them to develop with
certain amount of minor league
experience.
