ever was made to police the course

Pitcher Stingy with Hits.

Cambridge. Mass. June The Har-
ward nine was beaten for the first time
this season on its home field this after
noon by the Boston College team,
coached by Bill Sweeney, the former
Boston and Chicago infelder.
Gill. the Boston College pitcher, al
lowed the Crimson only three hits, two
of which, by Coolidge and Abbot, were
combined with Harte's sacrifice fly for
the Crimson's only run. Garritt was
hit safely eight times by tho visitors,
who. however, would not have scored at
all had il not been for errors by Short
stop Reed in the first and third innings.
At the beginning Of the game Man ley
singled. Gildea flied to Garritt. but
Reed threw wild to second after stop
ping Regan's grounder. Reed then
threw Mitchell out. but after Flynn was
passed two runs were scored on Coles
Texas Lacquer.
Two innings later Flynn walked
again. and went to second when Reed
missed a chance for an easy double
play by fumbling Coles grouncer.
Fitzgerald drove in the run with hit
to left field. Gill was hit hard. but
the Crimson liners went straight to
the outfeld, and Manley stopped at
least three drives that ordinarily
would have been hits.

no pitcher can make him pull away

John J. McGraw welcomed the day OF

pale-eyed jinx which has logged the
Giants about the Polo Grounds was

In thirteen exhibitions of the noble
pastime that makes sane men bugs and
fools pests on the home meadow. They
have emerged victorious from the dust

the road they knocked all opposition
into a cooked hat and came home the
idols OF the fans.
McGrsw can't tell what is the matter
with his team. The men seem TO have

trail somewhere and mayhap they Will

VOSHELL MENTIONED
AS POSSIBILITY
Mclaughlin Uncertain About
Coming East-Williams Has
Chance to Land Title.
By JAMES s. O'NEALE.

Games postponed, wet grounds, at
the Westchester invitation, the Amack-
ASSN and the New Jersey state tennis
tournaments yesterday. Also at the
women's national championships at
Philadelphia.
What shall write about?" in
CURED the war correspondent at the
front
Right about face" grufly ordered
the colonel.
But we'd much rather write about
form. tennis form. and the relation IL
bears TO impending changes in the per-
sonnet of the charmed first ten in the
national ranking list. These expected
changes are already being whispered
about, il being the consensus of opin-
ion that at least three OF the big ten
will be pushed out this year, with
several of the remaining players Jug
gled about.
OF course. It is early TO predict. yet
| that is just what player who was
ranked in the third ten for 1915 did in
our eagle hearing Last year the rank
ing was "a follows: William NJ. John
ston, Richard Norris Williams. Cd, Maui
rice z. Mclaughlin, Karl X. Behr. The
odore Roosevelt Pell. Nathaniel w.
, Niles, Clarence J. Griffin. Watson VI.
Washburn. George NJ. Church and Wal
ter Merrill Hall.
"Well," predicted the expert, you
can just about put down the names OF
r. Lindley Murray, Willis E. Davis and
! Harold Abingdon Throckmorton in the
| first ten for 1916. Murray may not
play much, but If he completes in only
two or three big events, including the
national championships at Forest Hills.
you can set down the jackrabbit for q
place in the first five.
when he was beaten by Throckmor-
ton at Sleepy Hollow Murray was out Of
practice, but it takes at any time a
great player 20 beat the Californian
and that showing. coupled with the gem
eral improvement oil winter in Throck-
morton's form should bring him from
the second ten 10 ninth or tenth IN
the first. Then Davis, the latest Of the
Native Sons. walloped Throckmorton AZ
Sleepy Hollow. Count Davis in. May
be. also. this young Roland Roberts, Of
San Francisco, will steady down enough
when he comes East for the first time
this summer TO mingle with the
charmed bunch, the first tenners OF
tennis.
Two Other Possibilities.
There are two other possibilities,
ranked in the second ten for last year,
who might dynamite their way into the
faster circle They are 5. Howard
Voshell, the southpaw. and Leonard
Beekman, who has everything and
might suddenly fash it forth IN great
shape.
"As for those at present in the first
ten. Red Mclaughlin may possibly not
come East, and if he doesn't he Will
lose ranking. I've an idea young
Williams will become the national title title
holder IL Mae doesn't come. That VIII
place Williams first. with Johnston
probably second. think Murray Will

Giants Hopeful Flood
Has Drowned Home Jinx

found out Just who IS the greatest ball
player in the world You guessed it,
tits none other than Hans Wagner, the
perennial star of the Pirates. From
Jimmy Callahan 70 Wilbur Fisher the
youngest who just joined the team,
they join in sing the praises OF the
venerable Teuton. A thousand tales
might be told of Wagner, did space
permit, and every sing e one of them
would be Of interest. He is possessed
Of keen sense of humor and has a
wonderfully good time in playing base
ball.
Wagner is prone 10 belittle his own
feats on the diamond and shower praise
on some younger man on the team.
Larry Doyle, the Pittsburgh newspaper
man travelling with the Pirates, is re-
sponsible for this one, and Larry
swears it's true. The Pirates were
fighting the Cards down in St. Louis
and the tieing run was on third. with
runner on first and one out. A st.
Louis batter hit one over second base,
well TO the right, and it looked like a
hit. Wagner, however. rumbled over
and got the ball, touched second and
whipped the ball 10 first for a double
play.
When Wagner came into the bench
the crowd cheered him wildly. Going
into the dug-out he said TO Jimmy
Viox: Gee, | was lucky 20 get that one.
Just when the ball hit my glove a
cinder got in my eye"
Rumor has il that the Chicago Cubs
will be shaken from top TO bottom in
the effort 20 build up a winning com
bination. IL Is said that Nike Doolan,
the veteran shortstop who jumped the
Phillies for The Cubs. and Steve Yerkes.
the second baseman, are 20 be put on
the market and sent 70 the minor
leagues. Neither was able TO hold the
pace set by the National League and
nave simply warmed the bench. Char
ley Weeghman has left the Chicago
convention fat on its back and is on
his way 10 this city 70 arrange for
deals.
Dan Costello says tina. Wagner
handles more throws from the ortheld
than any other sbortstop in the game
when a ball goes 20 any Of Us we
shoot IL 20 Hans, for we know he will
do something with it. and We know that
