The whole situation in a nutshell as
we see It from a strictly neutral view

championship on account of her 12-b

Downpour Stops
Both Ball Games
At Local Parks
By BRIGGS
By w. 0. Mcclellan

There were $4,000 persons inside the
Polo Grounds and several thousand
huddled under the elevated tracks
when the storm broke over Coogan's
Bluff yesterday afternoon and washed
the Battling Giants and the Cincinnati
Reds into their dressing rooms. The
multitude waited for half an hour be-
fore the game was called.
In the meantime Henry Fabian, the
demon ground keeper, wrapped his be-
loved infeld in a huge tarpaulin, but
the outfeld was saturated in a few
minutes and there was small pond
around the front plate. The sport
lively inclined fans crept back under
cover and made bets as to which would
win out, the rain or the sun. On the
biggest booking the favorite, Old Sol,
was badly beaten by the rank outsider,
J. Pluvius.
When the field was thoroughly sat
urated the everpresent nut, who evil
IDENTIFY was suffering from rabies af-
ter being bitten by mad hot dog,
dashed into the field and began to per-
form. He ran around all the bases and
slid to home through the pond. Two
special policemen dashed out and res
cued him from drowning
The rain washed something like
$4,000 away from the Giants and the
Reds and perhaps $4,000 right out
of the pockets of the magnates who
own the Brooklyn and Chicago Ma
tional League clubs, for the rain de-
scended upon Ebbets Field too, much
to the distress of the Good Squire Eb-
bets of Flatbush. This means that
over 10000 rain checks were carried
away from both parks and that the
holders will be back there to-day with
out extra cost. This will make sure
of an overflow attendance at both
places, weather permitting, this af-
ternoon
The rain leaves the National League
pennant race in statu quo, with the
Giants just one game ahead of the
Dodgers and going strong Manager
McGraw announced that nothing fur
Their had occurred in the deal whereby
Gonzales, the Cuban catcher, was to
come to :. Giants. The details were
being handled by the late Herman

'Murderers' Row. Gets Busy
And Huggins's Clan Triumphs

CLEVELAND, May 17.-The aspir-
ing and perspiring Yankees landed on
Lee Fohls Indians like a ton of brick
in their first appearance of the season
here this afternoon and dubbed Guy
Morton, the ace Of the Cleveland pitch
ing staff, into insensibility in jig time.
Huggins's men, who jumped off to five
runs lead in the first inning, won
under wraps by score Of to g. In
Quinn, of the visitors, had the locals
completely at his mercy.
1t is true that New York was clearly
entitled to the victory. But it is new
erthcless true that Morton's cause was
ruined by misplays in that first inning.
Faultless support might have shut OF
all those early runs. Wick singled to
left and was safe at second when
Gardner hcsitated about fielding Peck's
bunt 10 that bag. Then Pipp fouled to
Gardner and Baker famed Here the
long pent up storm Of Yankee base hits
broke loose. Pratt doubled, scoring
two runs. Lewis singled, scoring
Pratt. Bodie singled. Then Lewis and
Bodie workod tho double steal for an
other run. Ruel and Quinn walked,
filing the bases. Gardner fumbled on
Wick, up for the second time, and Bodie
Tailed. Peck lined TO Graney
The Yankees got another run of
uhle in the second frame. Pratt
walked with two out and scored on sue
cessive singles by Lewis and Bodio.

Then-and Now

Willard says he is far better fighter to-day than
he against Jack Johnson.
Maybe he is. But the other paw
When Willard met Johnson he had been boxing
and fighting almost three years He had been inter-
mngling with a lineup such Pelkey, Beer Rodel
Carl Morris, Mcmahon and others. In 1911 he fought
six fights in 1912 he fought seven in 1913 he fought
twelve battles and 1914 he entered the ring three
times
In the four years previous to the johnson soiree
Willard had mixed in twenty-eight battles, ranging
between two and twenty rounds He had been slog-
ging and smuggling away continuously in actual COM
petition.
In the four years preceding his fight with Dempsey
he had boxed once-one ten-round affair.
He is four years older to-day--that much further
removed from youthand has fought one battle against
twenty-eght.
1t may be that he is a better fighter to-day than
he was when Johnson took the dip.
And then again
Judging by the brand of weather that prevailed
between April 10 and May Is, the best time to open
the baseball season is the 10Th of July.
We haven't the fabby statistics at hand but we
are willing to wager a mark against centime that
Washington has made fewer runs on the average back
OF Walter Johnson than any of the star pitchers ever
carried including Mathewson. Walsh. Waddell and
Alexander.

PRINCETON, N. j., May 17.-By
sweeping across the finish line with .
lead over the Princeton varsity eight
of easily two and half lengths and
six lengths ahead of the Columbia
octet, the Pennsylvania oarsmen again
captured the Childs' Cup classic, rowed
over Lake Carnegie here this after
noon. Rain, which poured in torrents
during the early part of the afternoon.
had stopped before either Of the triang-
ular contests began, and both were
rowed under perfect conditions over
water as smooth as glass.
In spite of the disagreeable weather
hundreds of spectators lined the sod
den banks and cheered the crews as
they passed down the course.
The Red and Blue victors crossed the
finish line at 38-per-minute stroke IN
the time of 9 minutes % seconds for
the mile and three quarters course. fol-
lowed by the Princeton boat, rowing q
slightly lower stroke in minutes II
seconds.
Columbia came across the finish line
eight and one-half lengths in the ress,
All three crews got away with pow
erful start, but before many seconds
had elapsed the Princeton and Pena-
sylvania crews began to draw away,
the latter slightly in the lead. The
Blue and Red crew slowed down its
stroke to about So per minute, while
the other two crews dropped to SO
clip.
At the half mile flag Pennsylvania
had put half length of open water
between her and the Tigers, while the
Morningside eight had fallen a half
length still further behind. AS the
onemile mark was reached Princeton
had closed up the gap of open water,
while Columbia was dropping hopeless
ly to the rear. However, as the crews
at the last home stretch the Quakers
made wonderful squirt and drew
away from their lighter opponents.
The work of both the Pennsylvania
and Princeton crews was fawless.
The Tigers had the form but lacked
the weight and drive of the sturdy
Quakers. The Pennsylvania crew
seemed throughout the race to be
keeping something in reserve, while
the Princeton oarsmen put all they had
into their early efforts.
The thousands who journeyed TO
Princeton to watch the crews race and
to see the Tigers meet Harvard on the
diamond we're greatly disappointed by
the driving rain accompanied by high
winds which caused the ball game to
be postponed until Monday, and made
watching the regatta uncomfortable.
Scores of pretty girls, assembled here
for the weekend festivals at the upper
class clubs, were kept away from the
races, and the score or more of auto
mobiles which were booked to follow
the race from the towpath along the
canal were kept from doing so by the
slippery condition of the road Never
theless, several hundred roaring en-
thusiasts braved the elements to cheer
from the sodden banks she splashins
crews.

The Redland Status

A fairly tidy inkling in regard to Redland's status
as a first division entry will be unravelled by the
present Eastern tour.
This will mark the second test.
One detail is a certainty to start with-Pat Moran
is no f1ivver manager. Pat is of the best in the
business-a good leader keen judge of pitchers and
hard man to toy with if any strikes to slip him
the works
Pat has quite apparently put lot of hustle and
pep into his people, and far he has suddenly pro-
duced pitching staff where none seemed to be in
existence two months ago.
The Reds have foundered badly for many years
that no one takes them seriously when they win
But it may be that Moran is the Of destiny,
rived at last to lift them out Of the bog.

A New Leader

If we had to gamble a guess one man to lead
all National League batsmen this the tip would
be Ross Young.
He looks to be nearer hitter of the Cobb-Speaker
type than any man have in the older circuit.
Ross comes from the state that sent Speaker
and Hornsby over the roadbed of fame. He is faster
than either and leans against the ball with almost
as much power.
The National League has had control
as the American League has known in the way of a
batting king. 1t has had star of successive
seasons since Old Honus began to skid, eight ten
years ago. If there is any who might be
the Cobb of the National League his is Young.
