TURN OUT BETTER BALLS
Big Improvement Noted in Pellets
over Those Made in Past
Two Years.

Did YOU know that Old Man Reach
and his associates in Philadelphia
must be putting better stuff in the
American League balls? At least it
seemed so during the recent series
between the Indians and Tigers. for
any time one of the hitsmiths col
lided with the spheroid there was
that good old musical sound of
other days. the whizz kind instead
of the dull thud that characterized
the sound of bat meeting ball last
season and the year before.
The Indians outhit the Tigers in
the series, garnering forty-four base
knocks for total of sixty bases,
while the sum total of the Tigers
efforts was forty-three hits for fifty
five bases. The Indians made twenty
nine singles, fourteen doubles and
one triple, while the Tigers had
thirty three singles. eight doubles
and two three-sacker
But it's not SO much these hits that
we had in mind when we started to
tell you about the better stuff in
the 1919 balls as it was the welcome
sound that came from the collision OF
bat and ball whenever Speaker. Cobb,
Veach. Ellison, Smith, Gardner or
one of the others connected solidly.
Umpire George Moriarty says that
he believes the ball is of better all
round quality, especially the leather.
Last year the pellets became lopsided
on the slightest provocation. while
this season the lopsided ones have
been conspicuous by their absence
The better stuff will make a hit
with the fans all over the league, for
it means better hitting and the pa
irons of base ball would rather see
hitting of the brand on tap in these
four games than any other feature
Of base ball.

RICHARDS IS SUSPENDED
National Tennis Association Sets
Down Champion for Alleged
Commercializing of Name.

NEW YORK, May 12.-Vincent Rich
ards of Yonkers, N. Y, the sixteen
year-old holder of six American tennis
championships. has been suspended
from all tournament play by the ma
tional association on the charge of
commercia1izing his name and reputa-
tion as a tennis player.
The action disqualifying Richards
was taken by the amateur rules COM
mittee of the national association on
the ground that he permitted the "use
of his name to advertise or promote
sale of tennis goods for pecuniary
profits" and that being connected
with firm manufacturing or selling
tennis goods, his connection appears
to be Of a special nature rather than
of a general application to all lines
of sporting goods"
Richards won all Of his six national
championship titles within the last
seven months. He is considered the
most promising American tennis
player developed since Maurice E.
Mclaughlin sprang into the limelight
Beginning last August, Richards
started his collection of championship
titles by winning the national outdoor
doubles with w. T. Tilden. At Forest
Hills he won the national boys
singles and junior doubles with
Harold Taylor. At the indoor cham
pionships in the Seventh Regiment
Armory. this city, Richards captured
the national junior and senior singles,
and the senior doubles with Tilden as
partner.

That was the blow that killed the

the word of one of the Sox stars as
authority. Gleason is working along
an entirely different line Of resist
