YAN|GANS BLANKED
BY MOBILE 10.
Pierson Issues Only One Pass,
Yet It Costs Mack
let's Game

Mobile. Ala. April 3.--Mack' s
Yanigans were given their first coat of
whitewash yesterday. falling 1-to-0
victims to the Mobile Southern Associa-
tion team. Yet they have nobody to
blame but themselves, for had they
played the right kind Of ball the local
minor leaguers would not have scored.
The Macklets have not only lost one
or more games in the past by the wild
ness of their pitchers, but they always
have been in difficulty through the same
cause.
Pierson only handed out one pass in
today's game. but that was sufficient
to give Mobile the only run scored
in the game. Following that pass in
the second inning. Ducotte singled. but
was forced by Felber. who was in
turn forced by Garvin. McCann tried
to make a double play on this later,
but there was no chance to get the
man at first and the recipient of the
pass scored. Had Mccain been awake
he could easily have nailed the runner
at the plate and the game would have
gone to extra innings.
Aside from that one period Picrson
pitched good ball. He got into trouble
another time when the first two to
face him hit safely. but he pulled him
self out of the tight place.
Hasty was given opportunity to
show his fellow townsmen how he
looked in an Athletic uniform. and a
bunt was the sum of Mobiles efforts.

BRILLIANT TALENT OUT FOR
Z. WEST CATHOLIC HIGH NINE
Last Years Tarsity and Crdck
Freshman Players Of 1919
Audilable for Diamond Po-
sitionS
BY PAUL PREP

WITH full team of veterans. West
w Catholic High School is to get
under way in the Catholic Schools
Baseball League in good shape. In
addition to the players Of the 1919
nine, the coach also has the choice of
last seasons undefeated freshman team.
Players Of last years first year ag-
gregation have been showing up in such
splendid form in practice for the last
two weeks that the veterans may find
themselves on the bench when the
league season starts. At the present
time it looks as if the nfeld of West
Catholic will be composed of youths
from the 1919 freshie nine.
Bill Blake. the kid catcher, will do
the brunt of the receiving. Minnick, a
southpaw. and Ed. Michel. a tall
righthander, are certain of hurting Jobs.
Three other candidates. Estevez, Kehoe
and Mooney, also are out for pitchers
berths, and it is likely that ono Of these
will be retained.
Jimmy Mullin, basketball star. is
cavorting around shortstop without any
opposition. Mullin stands out above any
OF the others and seems to have
squelched opposition. Feelcy seems
a likely bet at first as he is a good
hitter and fair fielder. Doyle. last year S
first baseman. also is out for the posi- :
ton. John Driscoll, captain of last
years team, is holding down the key
stone position. Jim Cunningham hoicis
down the hot corner. having eliminated
his competitors with comparative ease.
Jim is fast fielder, possesses a strong
arm. is speedy on the bases and a good
slugger.
The outtield positions are still open.
Jimmy Woods, Linaugh. Magee,
Naughton. Corkery. Hughes and NJ.
Cunningham are out for the positions.
Woods, Iinaugh and Naughton seem
the best at present, but Naughton is
out of the game now, having suffered an
injury in a practice game.
Manager Naughton has arranged a

ANN ARBOR, Mich, June THE
thinly clad athletes from the University
of Illinois scored in eleven out of six
teen events for a total Of 40 points to
win the western conference honors on

equalled the one-mile record of 21 4-5.
The quarter half and two mile races

BAT DYNAMITE AND PITCHIN'

Hitting alone is making it possible for
the champion Reds to alternate regu-
larly between first and seconh places
Pat Moran has only one dependable
hurler, Walter Ruether, and he loses
once in a while.
The Cubs, depending almost entirely
upon pitching, led the league at the start
of last week, but Jim Vaughn went lame
and they dropped to third place.
DODGERS AND REDS
ARE CONFIDENT.
Brooklyn and Cincinnati are playing
the only consistent ball in the National
league. The Dodgers won six out OF
seven starts last week and the Reds
won four out of fire.
In the American league the Yanks were
the sensation. They won six out of seven.
The White Sox played the next best ball
with four victories ont Of seven games
which pushed them from fifth to third
place.
The Boston Red Sox cracked. They
dropped from second to fourth place and
are staying there only because the second
division clubs are losing with them.

Then Doc Hendricks shot In another

Louie Wolf had the most severe case
and 1t was Louie who tossed the twin

Louie was trying 20 fill Ollie O'Mara's

loss Of the double header can be charged
against The OIL City outlaw organization,
which induced O'Mara to break his con-
