reason that the mild climate of their

advantage enables them to perfect

Carlson pitched beautiful game for

How Pittsburg kept from piling up a
big score Is one of the mysteries of
the sport. Vaughn was nicked for
eleven hits. gave seven bases on balls
and had four errors behind him.
Just when 1t looked like he would be

left on the bases and should have
made enough runs in any one in

later stole third. Carlson then lost
his own game by cutting loose with

WOMEN TO Be CHIEF
PLAYERS ON COURTS

New York, May 6.--Women players
appear likely to hold the center of the
lawn tennis stage during the season
which is now beginning. Unless plans
which are under consideration by
George T. Adee, president, and other
officials OF the national association. the
national and other championships de-
voted exclusively to the fur wielders
OF the racquet are the only ones that
Will be played.
Miss Marie Wagner the star OF the
New York Lawn Tennis club forces,
has launched remarkable series Of
chain tournaments. This plan not
only enlists the services Of l.744 COM
petitors. but 1t is calculated to pro-
duce funds for the Red Cross work
and to add greater stimulus to the
women's tournament plans for an
other year.
With the realization that the activ-
ity on the courts, especially in a COM
petitive sense. would rest upon the
women. George T. Adee has carefully
made his appointments OF those who
would direct their destinies for the
season. Women will receive a rank
ing despite the fact that the men will
be denied classification. There prom
men In this respect. for Miss Mary
Browne. the slender California girl
who won the national title In 1919.
1913 and 1914, has declared her IN
tention to try for the title at Phila-
delphia next month.
Mrs. William H. Pouch, a former
national champion and a player of
wide experience. who has previously
served upon ranking committees, has
been named AS chairman Of the com
mittee for this year. Miss Edith B.
Handy, of the Staten Island Ladies'
club. and Mrs. Chauncey Cole. Of Bos-
ton, are to collaborate with her This
committee will have the assistance Of
A. L. Hoskins and Craig Biddle. who
have been appointed to direct what
promises to be the most important
be held on American courts this year.
There has been an Increasing desire
on the part OF those who have been
attempting to stimulate women's
tournaments to have its part OF the
schedule made distinctive. Unfess the
signs OF the times are tickle another
year will see an entirely separate
schedule of tournaments devoted TO
women and apart from those for men.
In order to systematize this element
OF the game special committee has
been named to consist Of Mrs. Rarxer
wallach. chairman: Miss Evelyn
Sears, of Boston: Miss Marie was-
ner. OF the New York Lawn Tennis
club. and Miss Dorothy Disston, OF
Philadelphia.
Several OF the old championships
have become divided tournaments.
The classic Metropolitan and the Mid
die states are now played as separate
events for the men and the women
Others are to follow. II the enthu-
siasm OF the women holds out they
promise a longer schedule than that

PLAYERS WHO MAY BE
LOST BY GOTHAM TEAMS
Giants Are Likely to Suffer the Most by Military Draft But
Yankees win Also Be Hit Hard-Drafted Players Will
Report at Training Camps by August l.

New York, May s.--Owners Of
baseball clubs, to say nothing Of the
managers and fans, are vitality in
terested In the question of the draft
A. 1t will affect the three major league
teams in Greater New York.
In the present uncertain state OF
anairs 1t is hard to figure just exact
~ how the Giants. Yankees and Rob-
ms will shape up after conscription
gets under way.
The probabilities seem to be that
men from twenty-one to twenty seven
years Of age who have the least re-
PROBABILITIES at home will be taken.
A. soon as the bill is passed regis
tration will be required and exemp-
ton boards and the other machinery
pocessary to the enforcement OF the
law put into effect.
The idea now appears to be that
this preliminary work can be done IN
three months or less. This would
mean that the baseball players would
leave their clubs and report at the
training camps by August /.
The more games. Wherefore. that
Donovan, Mc0raw and Robinson can
win In the next few weeks. the better
will be their chances for the pennant
were 1t not for the fact that most OF
the other clubs will suffer equally.
The Phillies. for instance, are not apt
TO lose over three regulars. and some
OF the other clubs may get OF lightly.
1t looks now as II the Giants were
in danger OF losing eight men. the
Robins six. and the Yankees seven.
The Giants would suffer most In their
pitching staff, az Benton. Anderson
and Smith will be subject to call.
Benny Kauff also would be lost TO
the outfleld. while the reserve strength
of the team would be cut heavily.
Pete Kilduf and Baird no longer would
be on hand TO plug up gaps in the
inheld. Kelly would no longer re
available to the outfield and the alb
sence OF Kruger would weaken the
catching stan. Jack Murray doubt
less would take kaun.s place in CEN
ter and Lobert would act az sort
OF all-around utility man. 1t might
even be that Germany" Schaefer
would get into q game or two.
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1917-05-07

The Yankees would find II hard to
replace Pipp at first base. Gilhooley
in right field and Nunamaker and AL
exander behind the bat. They also
will lose Shocker. Monroe and En-
right from the pitching stafY. In case
all t!.ese men are drafted Magee prob
ably will be pulled in to play first
base and Hendrix and Miller sent to
the outfeld.
Charley Ebbets and Wiibert Robin
son think they have q great find in
FabriQue, their youno shortstop. but
he may not be with them long. Stem
gel also would be subject to draft. as
would Galore and Sherrod Smith. The
loss OF Hickman and Smythe would
weaken the reserve strength In the
outfield and infield. Robinson would
have to put Olson back at shortstop
and play Johnston In the field.
1t may be seen on looking over this
dope that the local teams are bound
to suffer. The Giants are none too
strong in their pitching department
anyhow. and the loss OF three regu-
lars would hurt.
The catching staff of the Yankees
would be cut to pieces. and Pipp IL
one Of their chief assets on the Of
Tense. Gilhooley's speed and Shock
er's spit ball are big assets.
The Robins might have to part with
the best young inheider they have
dug up in years, their best lefthander.
a mighty good Highlander and a de-
pendabie outfielder. Not one OF the
three clubs could come anywhere near
adequately replacing the men they
lose.
Moreover. these men would not be
out only for a short time. as would
ba the case we're they injured. They
would be gone for good. The only
real hope from a base ball standpoint
is that the draft 10 a selective one.
and it is proba bile that some OF these
men would not he called.
II they should be called they are
ready to go and -the-cluh owners are
more than ready to give them every
assistance in their power toward per-
forming their duty and their service
to the nation.
