It is seldom that a baseball recruit

Of the Giants is the exception which
proves the rule. The proof is that he
has been delivering the goods for the
Giants daily since the season opened
The most surprising thing that has
happened since Manager McGarw took
hold Of the Giants is the placing OF
Young at the top of the batting list,
dislodging such seasoned veteran as
George Burns, generally accepted as
the most valuable leadof man IN the
country.
II Young has a weakness, 1t will
take a Lick telescope to find it.
Veteran twirlers of the Brooklyn, Bos-
ton and Cleveland stats have tried to
find it this season, but they have prac-
tically given up the job. convinced
that, like Ty Cobb and iris Speaker,
he is the exceptional ball player-the
kind that crops up but once in de-
cade.
Young was born in Sinner, Tex.
but when he was little chap his folks
moved over to San Antonio. where he
has resided since. Therefore, he Is
another star to be raised in the Lone
Star state. Speaker, of the Indians,
also halls from there.
It was while attending the West
Texas military academy that baseball
lovers started the talk about Young.
He made good in every branch OIL
sport there. particularly football. He

feat established his place in the athletic
world.
Scholz, when boy Of fourteen In Los
Angeles, began to show evidence Of be-
ing a Splinter, as numerous medals
will testify. Later he came to st. Louis
and entered Sedan high school, In 1915
he set a new high school record fol
the 100-yard dash when he won the
finals in the interscholastic meet in
10 LIS seconds
When he entered the University OF
Missouri three years ago Coach Henry
F. Schultz took Scholz, who up to this
time had been winning races because OF
his native tieetness, and taught him the
elementary principles Of form. He
stripped down the lad as one might
an automobile and after finding him
guilty of practically ever technical mis-
demeanor, proceeded to teach him how
to start and how to stride to obtain
best results.
Another helping factor to Scholz S
success is Robert Simpson. The Bos-
worth, Mo-. champion took liking to
the youngster and taught him every
thing he knew The two roomed to-
gether, trained together and 1t was not
long until Scholz assimilated the ideas
of training that had worked ont so sue
cessfully with Simpson, and when the
latter left school to go to an army camp,
Scholz was prepared to shoulder the
responsibility of being the schools best
athlete.
Scholz is now q years Of age and is
therefore eligible for army service. He
already has applied for the naval re-
serve branch of aviation. although If he
desired he could claim an exemption as
he is a junior in the school OF agricult-
ure If he continues his athletic career
he probably will smash more RECORDS.
At least such are the assertions Oh
track experts Coach Schultz says he
expects Scholz TO do .09 SIS in the 100
yards on a dry track this summer. Mar
tin Delaney, coach of the chicago
Athletic Association. after Watching the
sprinter perform at Des Moines, is said
to have remarked. This performance
merely substantiates my opinion he will
be the greatest collegiate runner in the
country this year

POOREST RUN GETTERS.
League Leaders Score Fewer Runs
Than White Sox or Indians.

New York, May 4-The Red Sox, for
all of their brave appearance at the
head Of the American league process
sion Of percentages are on form dis
played since the season opened the
poorest run scoring combination in
Ban Johnson's first division.
And the Giants standing out far in
front in the National league comprise
far the best run scoring machine in
the National league.
The White Sox and Cleveland are
practically tied for the best showing
in scoring in the American league, the
former having pushed across 43 runs
since they started and the Indians
having accumulated 81. The Sox
average IS best owing to the fact that
they have taken part in fewer games.
The Yanks are third best and the Red
Sox bring up the rear.
The Giants have averaged more
than six runs to a game and the Phil
lies second best have barely done hall
that. The Cubs and Cincinnati are
practically as widely separated with
the Cuts hanging close 70 the pills.

make better outfelder than an in

season for further seasoning and he

Lajoe.
Young is slightly under the average
height, but he grips his bat at the end
something like the famous Sam Craw-
ford. and he slashes at the ball with
tremendous power and precision.
The young Texan has not yet
reached his majority, and unless pre-
sent indications go all awry he will be
a star outfielder for the Giants for
many years to come.
