LEADING TOURNEY

Hap" Burtner, Of the Grand Cen
trails, today holds high honors in the
singles competition in the annual
Washington Duekpin Association
tournament now in progress at the
Grand Central alleys.
Burtner came within 81 xpins OF the
mark set by HAwkesworth made in
1911. His set was 3S5, and was made
with scores OF 136, 1872, and III. Had
Burtner maintained his pace set in
the first and second games he would
have set new figures.
Just before BurtpeT took the alleys
c. J. O'Neile, a Bureau man, got into
the Iimelight with a score Of 81 and
was being congratulated on his
achievement. O'Neile was able to
get 116, 11B, and 141, boosting himself
up in his last game, Burtner's high
mark was made just after that.
None OF the doubles teams was able
to get within striking distance OF the
leaders, Ferguson and Pratt, although
O'NefIe and HolloFan got 691. O'Neile
totaled III, 90, and I31, while Hol-
Ioran made 100. 123, and l21. o'Neile's
low second game cost his team the

.PHILLIES AND DODGERS
TIE FAMOUS OLD RECORD

PHILADELPHIA, May 2-The 9-to-9
twenty inning tie game between
Philadelphia and Brooklyn Wednesday
was the longest tie battle played in
the major leagues for twenty-seven
years. On June 80. 1892, at Cincin-
natl, the Chicago and Cincinnati teams
engaged in q 7-tO-7 struggle.
There have been many long extra
inning trays. That of twenty-four
innings between the Athletics and
Boston, in Boston, in 1906, still
stands as the record. Jack Coombs,
now manager OF the Phillies, pitched
that game for the Athletics. Pitching
for Brooklyn. COOmbs also won a
Notwithstanding battle from Pitts
bUrgh in 1917. The longest game last
year was twenty-one innings, in
which Pittsburgh defeated Boston.

Jennings pitchers begin to show
signs Of major league class. some of

Is as rocky as ever, judging from
the opening games OF the season.
Howard Ehmke is the only Finger
showing real class. Bernie Boland is
close after him, however, and should
be ready soon. Dauss is far from be-
ing in shape, while Kallie and James
are as eFratiC as ever.
Eric Erickson has yet to show real
class to the satisfaction Of Jennings.
The same goes for Cunningham. Bill
Mitchell has just come from the
army, and so is not expected TO do
much for a few weeks yet.

days, judging from gossip along Olive

Wright, who expects to report in

TEX RICHARD
.MUSTCHOOSE
PLACE EARLY

NEW YORK, May 2.-If Tex
Rickard stages his Willard Dempsey
scrap on July 4, he must name the
site for it tomorrow or else give it
10 the public on Sunday, which is
mot likely.
Articles Of agreement signed by
Rickard and the two boxers stipulate
that the battle-ground must be named
sixty days before the date of the
mill. Therefore, the date will have
to be advanced from Independence
Day if a site is not obtained by
May 4.
Some Of the best informed pugilis-
tic followers have chung to the belief
throughout the period of waiting that
Akron, Ohio, or some other Ohio city,
would be selected for the encounter.
Ohio has permitted boxing for some
time and has seen two championship
bouts OF importance within recent
years-to say nothing Of numerous
scraps IN the State by Jack Britton
and Ted Lewis when either held the
welterweight title. The game has
been conducted there on such a high
plane that little opposition would be
found.
However, il may be stated with
certainty that Ohio will not be named
for the battle-ground unless absolute
assurance is given Rickard that no
interference will come from State
authorities. He has declared he will
not again take the chance Of having
to move his arena on short notice,
as was the case when he matched
Jack Johnson and Jim Jeffries for q
California battle.

BASEBALL BRIEFS
FOR YOU

Jack Coombs was supposed to be
heading the weakest ball club in the
major lesgues-until the season
opened. Now he is known to have a
pretty fair outfit He has savage
sluggers, fair base runners, a passabIe
infield, a switch" outfield, and, il
anything, requires merely a couple OF
steady twirlers. If he can develop
or purchase these last, judging from
the first weeks showing, the PhilIies
may play some good ball, even il they
don't win any pennant. National
League writers have already quit call

The break between the majors and
the minors is believed to have
brought about the desire for a re-
turn to the old limit. No optional
agreement Is now permitted. When
a player is sent back to the minors.
he Is sold outright Only a gentle
mans agreement" can insure his re-
turn to the club releasing him.
How 1t Might Work.
Here's q possible working Of the
new system in vogue since the break
between the majors and the minors.
Horace Milan has been released out
right to the Minneapolis club. Under
q "gentleman's agreement" with Joe
Cantillon, Clark Griffith might get
Milan back for the same money he
sold him
But suppose Milan has a wonder
ful year-he got four hits in five
times up in his first game, by the
Way-Cantillon might be unable 70
go through with his end Of the bar
gain' owing to opposition from the
other owners OF the club. A small
sized fortune might be demanded
from the Washington club. That
would mean, IL the past means any
thing, that the Giants, the Red Sox
VI NAo AnulAhS WOulQ lanQ Milan.
At any rate, according to the pres
ent rules OF baseball, the Washington
club has lost title to every player
II has sent back to the minors. It
cannot force their return.
Must Reduce staRA
The real kick against the twenty
one player limit comes from clubs
with large pitching STATS. In the
spring few pitchers are in shape. II,
therefore, requires q flock Of them
to hold the team up against any bat
ting opposition But reducing the
stan to seven or eight men on May Z
works a hardship on managers. They
cannot experiment with likely young
sters.
The Washington club Is now trav-
cling inside the limit. Il is not suf-
tering on this account, though It is
en- others. The Washington club
needs pitchers, that's a cinch, but IL
didn't have them at Augusta any
more than it has now. Changing the
rule win not aid the GrifIs any.
So far complaints have been regis
tered by Hughey Jennings, Kid Glea-
son, and Jimmy Burke, while Connie
Mack might we'll join them All four
managers are experimenting with
young pitchers and the new rule
bothers them and their chances for
success.
Well, the tip is out that the old
twenty-five player limit is coming
back. Let's hope IL will bring the
Griffs a hitter and shortstop.
