NEW HAVEN SAYS
TWIRLING STARS
BEST IN.LEAGUE

New Haven. May A.-Fresh from a
successful getaway in which eight VIC
tories were scored in ten starts, the
fighting Murlins will leave their own
haunts today to finish the week on the
road NNurphy's gladiators not only
head the league but enjoy a two full
game lead over Springfield, their clos
est rivals. 4
= Baseball fans and managers
throughout the circuit have begun to
realize that New. Haven harbors real
pennant contender. They now have
respect for Manager Malrphys early
season edfct that New Haven is
through as a doornat for other New
England teams.
One OF the salient features Of the
Murnns early season play has been
the pitching Of Donovan, Weaver,
MAYOR and Woodward, who comprise
the best hurting corps in the league,
have done everything that was to be
expected of them. Between them they
have yielded but "a earned runs in ten
games, or less than three to a contest
This also Includes the 13-inning game
on opening day in (which Woodward
took the count.
1t Is also worthy of note that New
Haven's two defeats were in a single
run so the pitchers can in no way be
directly charged with the defeats.
Pitching such as New Haven is re-
cefting should keep the club high in
the race even though the leading
stickerS should strike a s1afTnp.

Larry Sutton, Scout
For Reds, Has Picked
Many Great Players

Larry Sutton, the old scout who
severed his connection with Brooklyn
last year and was signed by C1ncin-
NATL has been sent out into the high
ways, and hyways by Manager Math-
ewson in search OF new material out
of which Matty, his eyes opened to
his present Reds, hopes to build a
winner Sutton's instructions are
brief. Get me players that can he
developed into winners Is all Matty
has told him And Matty has conf
dence that larry will do It.
: He has some right to feel that the
man who dug mp players like Jake
Daubert. Tack Wheat, etc, will de-
liver as much for him If in all the
broad land there are more such to be
found Larry Sutton, as much as any
other man, laid the foundations of the
team that last year won the National
league pennant. It is some honor to
a player to be tabled o K by the old
scout. and best Of all, the players
know it.
When the II players ON the Dodger
team who owe major league berths to
Larry learned that he had left the
Brooklyn club they Clipped in and
bought him a gold medal. When a
bunch OF diamond athletes pull a
stunt like that 1t is not necessary to
pay any further tribute to the recip-
lent Of the testimonial There were
some notable names inscribed on that
medal-Daubert. Wheat, Pfeffer, STEM

SCHUPP CAPTURES
9TH STRAIGHT BY
TRIMMING CUBS

New York, May 24-The Chicago
Cubs, engineered by the games new
est manager, Moose Mitchell, dropped
in at the Polo Grounds yesterday and
took a to 3 trimming from the
Giants. The Cubs are made up most
ly of players whom the Giants and
Yankees didn't think they wanted.
Some of them are exactly the same
as they were when they resided hereA
in Manhattan. except the uniforms. It
was like old home week in Harlem
and the teams didn't have much
warming up practice, because it took
up SO much time before the game
shaking hands.
With Harry Wolter, Jim Vaughn
and Rollie Zeider, the former Yankee,
and Larry Doyle, Fred Merkle and
Olaf Wilson, the ex-Giants, the Cubs
are just aremade New York Club.
Everybody said ''Hello'' to everybody
e'se, and some added "Howsaboy?' It
was just like lodge meeting. ~
The only suggestion of the old Cubs
around the Chicago camp is Jimmy
Archer, who Is Captain of the bull
pen where the pitchers earn their sal
aries when they are not pitching.
Mitchell has demonstrated that he is
considerable of a manager because he
y
who wouldn't play for any one else.
One of their nveliest players is Roll
lie, Zeider who was bought for the.
Yanks by France Chance when he
was manager here Zeider will be
remembered as the one who kept the
Yankees medical staff working nights
treating one of the most stubborn
bunions that ever grew. The bunion
grew so large that it interfered with
Zeider's fielding and he had to- wait
for weeks and weeks until the OBJ
struction subsidized.
Larry Doyle and Fred Merkle got a
fine sincere reception, which shows
that baseball fans can be fair il they
want to be. Doyle and Merkles did
some good campaigning for the
Giants in years back and the folks
showed yesterday that they rernem-
bered 1t. Years of absence haven't
changed Jim Vaughn much. He was
knocked out of the box in the second
inning just as he used to be when
he wore the Yankee regaIia. The
Cubs showed a lot of pep and agrees
siveness, which shows that Manager
Mitchell stands in the front row as a
refurbisher of baseball antiques.
Ferdie Schupp pitched for the
Giants and won his fifth straight
game. At times he was inclined to
let himself get into trouble, but he
pitched his best in the pinches and
CAME through with flying colors.
When F'erdie buckles down to busi-
ness, with runners on the bases, he
can do tricks with the ball that re-
quire better batsmen than the Cubs
to solve.
