MIRACLE MAN ON
BASE BALL HORIZON
Mitchell Lines Up the Cubs and
Starts Them In on the
Race for the National
League Pennant.

New York, June IA new miracle
man" looms athwart the base ball
horizon, and his name is Frederick
Yapp, better known to fandom the
country over as Fred Mitchell, leader
of the Chicago Cubs. Mitchell first
saw the light of day ip Alton, Mass,
thirty-nine years ago.
From the moment he was able to
toss a base ball, Mitchell aspired to
become a pitcher. In the years that
followed he obtained his wish. but
Mitchell never set the world afire by
what he accomplished in the box. His
achievements as coach for the Boston
Braves and as first lieutenant to
George Stallings were far greater
than his accomplishments as q player
Great As a Coach.
As coach Of ball players Fred
Mitchell will rank as one of the great.
est in the game. A few years ago q
manager OF one of the National
league clubs went to George Stallings
who then was leading the Braves, and
requested him to trade some of his
players. Stallings thought a while
and said:
"I'll trade you any man on my team
If | get my price, but all the money in
the world couldn't separate me from
Fred Mitchell. He'll stay in Boston
with me as long as he cares to re-
main
That was, Stallings' estimate Of
Mitchell and lit Is the same value
placed upon him by many other wise
base ball men,
The success of the Cubs when
Mitchell assumed command of the
Wind City club was no surprise to
base ball men. Indeed they would
have been surprised Il he had not
turned the hapless aggregation willed
him by Joe Tinker into winning
combination, for among base ball
men Mitchell for years has been con-
sidered to have few peers as a handler
OF base ball players.
II have Just got what | want
said Mitchell recently. "The Cubs are

just as great club OF battlers as were
the Braves when they made their

DARK HORSE Wins
CLASSIC IN BLUE
GRASS COUNTRY
King Gorin, 4-year Old, Beats
Out Cudgel in Fifth Re-
neWal Of Handicap at
Louisville, Ky.

Louisville, Ky, June 1.-The 4-year-
old Transvaal-Ethel Simpson colt,
King Gorin, owned by R. L. Baker &
Co. of Lexington, under masterful
ride by<Jockey Mack Garner and
favored by light impost of 10S
pounds, won the fifth renewal OF the
Kentucky handicap at Douglas Park
here today by neck from John w.
Schorr's 3-year-old Broomstick colt,
Cudgel.
Half a length back was Andrew
Miller's Roamer, which made his third
try for the event. Boots, coupled in
the betting with Ed Crump, as the
A. X. Macomber entry, finished
fourth, beaten for the show money by
two lengths.
Old Rosebud, the 9 to 5 favorite,
and Opportunity finished in the ruck
after setting a terrific. pace for half
a mile. The time of 2:01 Is for the
mile and quarter was remarkable,
considering the condition Of the track,
which was lumpy and'slow
Victor Ridden Hard.
King CORN had to be hard ridden
to win. Turning into the home
stretch he went into the lead, with
Cudgel and Roamer following, heads
apart. The l26 pounds apparently
was too much for the latter against
the two lightweighted colts.
Boots came from ninth into fourth
place and behind him finished Hodge,
Coivennie, Embroidery, Ellison, Old
Rosebud, Opportunity and Ed Crump,
in the order named.
King CORN was only considered as
a starter, after his stable mate, Pif
Jr., had met with all accident pre-
venting him from being sent to the
post. He was practically neglected in
the betting, 81 pari-mutuel ticket on
hin. paying $43.50 to win, $2l.l for
the place and $3.50 for show.
The stake was worth $4,000 to the
winner.

Williams, Tennis Shark, Fails
To Pass at Military Camp

New York. June 2.--Unconsciously
the board of examining surgeons Of
the United States army has opened a
fruitful field for the discussion of
foot work in lawn tennis. 1t strength
ened the position of those who sup
port the theory that proper compre-
hension of footing and its relation to
the control of the stroke is one OF the
most important elements of the game.
And it is all because of the refusal of
the surgeons to pass Richard Norris

tional singles championship title, as
rookie for the officers reserve, corps

While. the exact reasons for the re-
fusal to accept Williams at the mill
tary camp will probably never be
known, the cause has been stated as
due to minor defects of his feet.

TAMMANY HALL.

Tammany has won the election in
Greater New York by a plurality that
approaches q majority.
It shows that the people of New
York are not particularly interested
in good government.
They have tried Tammany again
and again only to learn that the name
Tammauy stands for spoils.
And yet. following an era Of 4 few
years of fairly decent control, they
revert to The old spells system.
John Purroy Mitchell has been a
fairly good mayor, At ali events, it is
generally conceded that graft has not
characterized his administration-and
graft has been Tammany's strong
point throughout it's entire existence.
Bennett the republican who defeat
ed Mitchell at the party primaries,
stood fourth in numerical strength,
falling many thousands behind the
socialistic candidate whose principal
stock in trade during the campaign
was opposition to the war.
However, had Bennett stayed out
of the contest, Tammany would have
won. Even had both Bennett and the
socialist remained neutral, the prob
ability is that Tammany would have
won, nevertheless, for the people of
Greater New York have never evinced
a disposition to remain good politi-
cally to exceed a few years.
Mitchel's candidacy was based upon
his four-year record and his intense
A~mericanism in the present crisis.
But this was Offset by Tammany's
democracy, from a party standpoint.
Was not Tammany pro-Wilson during
the late national campaign? OF
course!
Hence, New York City's election sig
mites nothing except that its people
are ready to return to Tammany's
bosom only to be camouflaged again.
