FRAT EXPELS PRENDERGAST-
ED WALSH LEAVES WHITE SOX
BY Mark Shields


hard working and earnest young
man as ever threw a baseball, has
been suspended by the Baseball
Players Fraternity for signing a
contract for 1917. Which means less
than nothing to Mike. He received
$1,000 in 1916 for pitching far better
ball than some people who were Civ
en- four times his salary. Now Mike
is to get $4,000, and he gets the 100
per cent increase solely through his
own efforts.
Mike resigned from the fraternity,
when he signed his 1917 contract.
He owes the athletes organization
no great loyalty. When he was in
the organized minors the fraternity
protected him, but when he became
a Fed it lost interest, for FUltz and
his followers did not favor the third
! league, the one factor that more
than anything else served to raise
players salaries.
Not disappearing of all the aims of
the fraternity, we find it hard to fig
ure where Prendergast has been dis
gracefully dislOyaI. Mike is making
his own way on the strength of his
good right arm and did exactly right
to sign.
Ed Walsh is no longer a member
of the White Sox ball club. There is
food for discussion among South \
Side fans, among whom the Big Reel
has been a hero for many seasons.
His name is not on the reserve list
of the ROwlandites, issued yesterday
by the American league.
What Walsh's future shall be is
still undecided. Ed has been men
toned as a possible magnate in the
Western league and it is certain he
can have the backing for such ven
ture any time he wishes to risk it.
His pitching days are through, but
me has had good schooling and

as developer Of big league material.
A minor club handled by Walsh
would be an excellent farm for the
White Sox.
On the trip of the Cubs to the Pa
cific coast the baseball writer's are
to have a valet, private working
room and a motor to take them to,
and from the ball field.
We shall leave comment on this to
Charley Dryden, who just dotes on
these friIls.
Bob FoIWelI has been fired as coach
of the University of Pennsylvania
football team, the faculty committee
declining to give reasons for the ac-
ton, though declaring it is not be-
cause of salary demands.
That this act has been contem-
plated for some time is apparent
from the statement of Walter Stef-
fen, former Maroon star, now can
didate for alderman in the 23d ward,
that he was offered the job weeks
ago, but failed to obtain a release
from Carnegie Tech.
FoIWeII made an excellent record
with the material he had last fall and
had instituted a coaching system
that was just beginning to show re-
suits. He is generally regarded as
one of the best gridiron mentors in
the business. Now the Red and
Blue must start all over again, and
with not much support from the out
side football follower.
Ed Sweeney and Pitcher Ray
Heating have been released outright
by the New York Yanks to Toledo.
Sweeney played with the association
club last season, but under an OPP
tional agreement 1t means a salary
cut for Sweeney, who received 1000
last year.
RoIIie Zeider, who wanted a re-
lease from the Cubs so he could take
over a minor league club, has been
blocked in that ambition by Manager,

MAKES 1902 MI. AN HOUR
Louis Chevrolet Wins Auto Speed
Classic at Cincinnati.

Cincinnati, May 31.-Louis Chew
of slightly better than 1O2 miles an
hour, captured the $50 miles interna-
tional sweepstakes automobile race at
Sharonville speedway, but he was only
a few seconds in front of his brother,
CASTOR Chevrolet. Ira Vail was less
than a sixteenth of a mile behind the
second man, but the remainder of the
field was well strung out. For just
moment while the racers were on
their 236th mile. it appeared as tho
CASTOR Chevrolet would carry off the
prize, but tire trouble at the last mo-
ment forced him to the pit and he had
to capitulate to his brother, who had
the distinction of going thru the en-
tire race without a single stop at the
pits.
Ralph De Palma looked like a
strong contender for more than half
the journey, when he allowed Louis
Chevrolet to set the pace, while he
followed a close second. However,
soon after passing the 15O-mile mark
De Palma developed engine trouble
and was forced out of it.
Earl Cooper likewise ran into hard
continue in the race and finished sew
enth- Tom Milton, who had been
hanging within a mile or two of the
leaders during the entire race, came
strong toward the end and captured
fourth position. Otto Henning was
fifth and Eddie Hearne sixth

SCHUPP n. Y. SENSATION
Young Southpaw Won Sixth Straight
Victory for Giants Wednesday.

New York, May 31.-If the Giants
maintain their present position at the
top of the heap in the National
League, it will be an occasion for low
ing cups to Ferdie Schupp, young
southpaw finger.
Schupp's sixth straight victory was
marked to his credit today followins
his victory over Grover Alexander in
Tuesdays second game. His hurting
placed the New Workers firmly in
first place. Schupp has yet to be
beaten this year and he is just a
couple of games behind the consecu-
tive Whining record established for
the year by that other demon of the
off-hand delivery, Babe Ruth.
Schupp and Ruth, the two stella
left handlers of the majors are doing
more than any other factors to hold
their teams up. Ruth's hurting has
placed the Red Sox in first place.
Schupp has done the same thing for
the Giants

HIS BIC AMBITION
McGraw Hopes to Win Sixth
Pennant This Year.
Only Two Managers Have Ever
COPIED Hall Dozen Flags.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York. May 31.-If John Joseph
McGraw succeed in winning the Ma
tional league gonfalon this year he
will enter the select set of baseball
1-.anagers who have won six pennants.
The select set is very select, in
deed. At the present time it consists
of Connie Mack, famous among pres
ent-day managers, and Harry Wright
who won his fame in the late sew
entities. If Jawn wins-well, that will
be going some for Jawn. and he has a
wonderful chance with his 1917
Giants.
Wright was the manager of the old
Boston Nationals from 1872 until the
early sos, and it was in 1872 that he
won his first pennant with the Bos-
ton club. He followed up that vic
tory by winning pennants for Boston
in 1878, 1874, 1875, 1877 and 1873,
which gave him the distinction of be-
ing the first big league pilot to grab
six championships. And Wright
teams were all worlds champions"
too, for there was no American league
to dispute the claim.
Mack's Great Record.
Next came Connie Mack, who start

BATTERY ga" VS.. GIANTS
Play Benefit Game Sunday-Greys
Meet h. of c. Team Tuesday.

AS the war progresses baseball and
patriotism are coming closer and closer
together and even in Topeka where the
diamond game is rot in a flourishing
condition this IS evident. Next Sun
day afternoon the Battery A team will
play the Topeka Giants at Western
league park for the benefit of the bat
terry and on registration day the
Knights of Columbus team will play
the Topeka Greys.
The game Sunday will be called
promptly at o'clock by Umpire Alb
bott and a large crowd is expected, as
Topeka Jack Johnson has offered to
turn over the proceeds to any fund
the battery boys desire.
The game to be played next Tues
day between the K. of c. and Greys is
the one that was postponed last Sun
day on account of the weather.

famous managers stands John Nc

York has ever had, aside from James

Of age. This fatal work is usually attri-
