ON SCHUYLKILL TODAY

PHILADELPHIA, May 31.-Col-
legiate stars and club oarsmen are
all set for the annual American Hen

Particular interest is attached to
the fight for the Stewards Challenge
Cup between Pennsylvania, The
Navy and Syracuse. The Quakers
arc still singing under the defeat ad-

RED SOX ROWDIES
TO BEPROSECUTED

PHILADELPHIA, May S1.-Bryan
Hayes, a customs house official, will
today fle charges against Carl Mays,
the Red Sox pitcher, with President
3. 3. johnson, OF the American
League, claiming Mays threw a ball
deliberately into the crowd during
the Mackmen's ninth inning rally
yesterday afternoon at Shibe Park.
Hayes, with some friends, sat in a
box directly behind the Boston bench.
During the rally they pounded on
the iron rail in front Of the box and
Hayes says Mays came up and threw
a baseball with all his might into the
box.
The ball narrowly missed a woman
and struck Hayes on the head. A man
nearby was then punched by Dave
Shean, the Boston infielder.
Mays act was that of a coward"
said Hayes, land IL the ball had hit
the woman next to me, it might have
killed her. He let 1t go with all his
might and apparently with the in
tention Of injuring somebody"
Hayes is an athlete, but had no
chance to get near Mays. He obtain
ed the names OF twenty persons who
saw the act.
At first he wanted to have Mays ar
rested, but Connie Mack, who is a
friend of Hayes, persuaded him not
TO get a warrant. Hayes then said
he would send affidavits to President
johnson, OF the American League.
The man who was struck by Shean
said he would do the same thing.

slough OF despond. And il "Spud" can
begin to approach the form he showed

Day-well, nobody'll complain. The
youpngster looked good, that's what
he did. He looked good
Murphy first heard the applause
when in the second inning he dashed
an infield hit that Chick" Fewster
couldn't quite get, but his ears must
have tingled when he travelled well
over to the hideous signboard in the
third, seized Wally Pipp's long drive,
and then, With an excellent display Of
heaving power and accuracy. doubled
up Duffy Lewis at the midway. So
speedy was that play that it kept
Fewster from scoring from second.
Probably to show that he could
come in as well as go out ''Spud"
brought the fans up to their feet in
the fourth when he streaked it to-
ward the infieId and camped beneath
Del Pratts qUick-dropping fly ball.
For the afternoon he had FIVE put
outs. no two coming in the same
place. and his one beautiful assist on
Duffy Lewis.
He Collects Three Hits
At the bat "Spud" collected three
hits out Of four times UP. His first
was merely a bad bounder between
Fewster and Baker, but the others
rippled of the bat with the proper
ring. Though a soUthpaw hitter,
"SpUd" seems to send his bingles to
left feld, for his hit in the seventh
went to left center and that in the
ninth to left field.
The fans-and there was a large
crowd out to enjoy the sport0were
strong in their support Of the new
conner from the Des Moines club of
the Western League. They applauded
his every good play, evidently mean
ing to start him right in this mans
town.
In the morning game Griff showed
another new player. Dick Robertson,
a right-handed pitcher. Dicks local
boy: he has talent. He pitched eight
innings against the Yankees. allow

ming two. With victory in his grasp,
Dick had the misfortune OF seeing his
support 20 to pieces. Tough luck.

Have Lost Ten Straight.
The Griffmen have now dropped ten
straight games. They are thirteen
games behind the leaders and but one
! and a half games ahead Of Connie
Mack's Athletics Unless they get a
move on right soon. they'll be in the
cellar.
The holiday games showed some
beautiful fielding by Hank Shanks,
Sam Rice, Eddie Foster. Duffy Lewis,
and "Spud" Murphy and some awful,
truly awful, pitching by Doc Ayers.
Molly Craft, and Harry Thompson.
Unless the GrifLs get some major
league hurting within a few weeks,
there won't be any need of it this
season.
Though winning two games in one
day. the Yankees were hardly i'm
pressive. They can get hits, but they
need three or four for each run, IN
less they happen TO collect some extra
bases. Any one of their sluggers
would aid the Griffs. but they need al
least more than two speed merchants
in their lineup to manufacture runs
