Walsh Expected
To Land Pennant
For Chicago Sox

CHICAGO. April 25.--Big Ed
Walsh Is out to make record in the
pitching line. The spitball king de-
clares that he will participate in
about seventy-five games this season
and win two-thirds Of them, too.
Walsh Is now in rare form ana evi-
dence of this can be gained from
the games he has taken part In this
season.
In the ninth inning of a recent
game In ST. Louis with the Browns
Pitcher LANCE walked three players
in succession, and Walsh was called
upon by Manager Callahan. Ed
obliged mis- boss by striking out the
next three Early this spring 1t was
said that Big Ed was suffering with
lame arm. but it now seems the
report was without foundation. Man
ager Callahan says that with Walsh
in his best form the White Sox are
right In line for the pennant,
A short time ago President Comis-
KEY of the White Sox club said that
he considered Walsh the greatest
pitcher that ever graced the mound.
In talking about this star twirler
Comiskey said: "Whalsh has every
thing-great curves, excellent control,
n cool head and the most elusive
spithall have ever seen. Walsh can
also play in the outfield and can
hold down first base as we'll as many
In the position today. He Is also
a fine hitter and can run the bases
as speedily and as heady as many Of
the regulars in the game today II
will be long time before Walsh
equal is found"

Up to the beginning OF the ninth

not deserve such an easy victory, for

Locke States
His Views On
Organized Ball

NEW YORK. April 25.--'Tf con-
gressionai investigating committee is
appointed to look into the affairs OF
organized baseball" declared w. H.
Locke. the new president OF the phtla-
delphia National league club. the In
teresting fact will be made public
that so per cent OF the major league
clubs and rs cent of the minor league
clubs lost money last season. This
was due TO the high salaries paid the
players and the heavy travelling ex-
pensss, coupled with the big money
spent In rebuilding ball parks.
The major leagues have contract
ed to pay nearly one million dollars
in salaries this season. Under the
provisions Of the national agreement
the players must receive every dollar.
no matter how much the clubs may
lose. Each club stands on it's own
bottom There is no syndicate own
ership and neither the National or
American league Is incorporated.
''As for the so-cailed reserve rule,
professional baseball would become
chaotic without 1t. 1t prevents the
clubs in the larger cities from en-
ticing away valuable players from
the smaller and weaker clubs. II the
clubs should outbid one another Tor
stars every year II would not be long
before New York and Chicago would
control the best men in the market
IT will venture to say that more
than 80 per cent of the major league
players of today are well satisfied
with existing conditions and would
oppose any attempt to wreck the
foundations Of organized ball I hope
that congress will turn on the search
light to show that the cry against or
ganized baseball is unwarranted."

AYRES LEAVES
FOR WASHINGTON

Doc Ayres, who Ia under contract
with the Washington Americans, and
who was refused permission to play
with the Colts by Clarke Griffith, will
leave for Washington today, where
ne Will meet the manager of the
Nationals in an effort to secure the
desired liberty.
Steve Griffith was in Washington
but a few days ago on a similar mis-
sion, but found Griffith Arm In his
determination to force Ayres to suf-
fer the fine which he had imposed be-
cause the local slabman had not Join
ed the Nationals when ordered to do
so by the management. 1t is a mat
ter OF discipline with Grifflth, and
there is little probability OF a settle
ment If II Is necessary that the wash
ington manager must be depended
upon to rescind the fine.
Ayers, who is q student at the Med
ical College of Virginia, refused to
report to Washington until he had
completed the present session at that
school. He has played several games
for the college during the early sea-
son, and later appeared few times
on the mound for the Colts, This
was called to the attention of Grif-
nth, and he forthwith ordered that
Ayres should not be allowed to play
with any professional team other than
Washington. As the college authori-
ties. had already ruled the doctor off
that team because he had played pro-
fessional ball. Ayres was unable to
play with any team at all.
The trip to Washington is made at
this time because of the fact that
the Nationals are just about to start
on their first invasion of the West.

NEW YORK, April 25.--The Giants

eleven innings at the Polo grounds.

which represented the toughest sort
of luck fer the Giants kept the latter
from winning In the tenth inning. The
Phillies can thank their lucky stars
that they weren't beaten again, for
in the tenth inning with three on
bases and none out, Mccormick. pinch
hitter, stabbed a scoring single to left

crowd rushed on the field to jubllate,
but they were premature, for the
game wasn't over.
The circumstance leading up to the
unique happenings which nulitfed
clean single bringing In a man from
third were these: The Giants had niled
the bases on Merkles smash over sec
ond and Merkies fast base running on
a fielders choice, base hits by Her
cog and Wilson. This looked like such
a fine chance to put In a pinch hitter
that McGraw took out Demaree Vsho
had pitched splendid game, and put
his faith In Mccormick.
Mccormick delivered all right.

Dolan's head. But while he was in
