POND TEAM To
PLAY |NGOTS
PIainfieId Factory Nine Sc
cured as Opponents for Lo-
cal Copper Works Team.

The Pond Pool works baseball
team of Plainfield will play the Ra-
ritan Copper works nine on the local
field Saturday afternoon. The Pond
team Is in third place in the Plain
field Industrial league, having de-
.feated the leading Spicers last Satur-
day in a snappy game by a score of
3-2. The Pond outfit opened their
eason against the Rochester Inter-
nationals and made a good showing.
Since that time when not playing in
the industrial league they travelled
to various cities in this vicinity and
have defeated some of the strongest
mines in this state.
Even though this team as shown
by their record, Is one of the
strongest nine to oppose the Copper
works nine this year, Manager Harry
Apologize feels confident that the
Ingots three game losing streak will
come to an end against the Plain
field outfit.
Baseball fans in this community
were glad to hear that Chunk" who
has proved a big favorite with the
fans ever since he could handle a
ball, had been made manager of the
Ingot nine. They are firm in their
belief that apple" would have lead
his team to victory but for poor
pitching. With Applegate plotting
the team, the Copper workers should
carry off industrial honors In this
county and also surrounding com
munities.
The game on Saturday afternoon
will be witnessed by the largest
Saturday crowd of the season, as the
fans are DESTROYS of seeing the Ingots
play their first home game under
their new manager.

SSMITMILIE

Carl Mays can pitch in Phiia-
delphia again. He apologized to
the fan he hit with a baseball last
year. The fan withdrew the war
int Of arrest he had framed for
Mays and the submarine twirler
went out to Shibe Park and
BANKED the AS after the hand
shake and the I'm sorry"
Newspapers didn't comment
much IN the incident. II was
crowded into a small paragraph.
But If you put a magnifying glass
on II why that little handshake
and those simple words I'm
sorry were very important to
baseball.
Both were probably to blame.
Mays was no doubt pretty sorely
tried BY the sharp jibes being
hurled at him from the stands
when he threw the ball at his
verbal assailants. But II proved
to the fans that Mays hadn't
learned to control his temper as
well as he generally does his SUBJ
marine ball.
When a player reaches the
major league he has another duty
to keep other than beieng a winner
for his club. He owes II 70 the pub
lie to be a credit to the game-to
be a big Lacquer in the human race
as well as the pennant race.
Fans sometimes get 100 per-
sonal in their roofing. You all
know how they still keep on
"booing'' Joe jackson because he
built ships instead of digging
trenches. Joe must feel like heav-
in his bat into the stands instead
of at the ball on many occasions.
Bue he doesn't. He just goes right
ahead with his work and he is a
pretty good workman, wen say. 1t
takes big league stuff to do that.
Mays isn't quite so cool as Joe.
He went off half-cocked and was
sorry afterwards.
When he said those words I'm
sorry" he wasn't saying it Just to
hat fan but to every person who is
interested in the good Of baseball.
1t vas a lesson for both the public
and the players.
1t Is up TO the baseball-going
public quite as much as it is the
men in uniform to keep the game
on its present high plane. 1t takes
both to make good sportsmanship.

The Fan Saws:

Inv o~I
I do not care to question why
The ball is hit so far and high;
/ love to find some sunny spot,
Il do not worry if it's hot,
And there I sit and have a thrill
Each time a player hits the pill.
l like to see the home team lag
Then in the eighth fill every bag,
With bases choked and two men out
Some slugger get a home Il clout;
A three-base swat / love to see
Bounce off the well known hickory,
|Two-baggers, too, delight my Eyes
And singles I do not despise.
Baseball to me is never dull =
Provided hits are plentiful.
That's why I never question why
The sphere is hit SO far and high.
1 simply sit and have a thrill
Each time some athlete swats the pill.
OF the manufacturing of reasons
there is no end. Fans have been
astonished at the amount of free
hitting in the major league games
so far this season AS 500 as the
fact was noticeable, the experts
dashed into print to explain why.
Some said it was because baseballs
are better made and have more life
than in the war days. Others accused
the magnates of slipping rabbit
balls into the games-balls with an
extra amount of rubber or cork in
side, which aus the pill to ride a
mile.
Then a group came forward to
maintain that the ban on freak
pitching gave the batsman the adj
vantage they have needed for several
years, the result being that they
could ''step into" the ball and swat
1t for fare-thee-well instead of back
ing away from the plate as they
were forced to do against freak
pitching for fear of being beaned.
This seems like a reasonable ex-
PLANTATION. Red Faber has offered
the presence of clean, white balls as
the reason for the batters getting
their eyes on the apple better this
than before.
All these explanations may have
a hand in the business. However,
the fan does not worry about the
why. He loves to see the ball hit,
when there's a runner or
two or three on the bags. That's the
kind of baseball he likes to see and
the reason for the hitting is of less
than the fact that hitting
and harder than for many
years.

Americas Cup To Remain In
u. S. Few More Years; Upton
to tyAgain,; Adams a Genius

It will take more than four gener-
ations Of Shamrocks TO take from
the hands which now cherish it
the hands which have protected it
for the past s~ixty-nine years-the
Americas cup.
Resolute, the American defender
Of the international yachting tro-
ply, by her victory over the Sham
rock ", Sir Thomas Lipton's chal-
lenger. yesterday afternoon over to
thirty mile windward and leeward
course, made it possible for this
country to retain possession of this
cup.
Yesterdays race, although sailed
just within the time limit of six
hours allowed the boats TO cover the
course, proved that Resolute is a
wonderful sailor IN light airs and
showed the superseamanship of the
Yankee crew and skipper in putnam
euvering the British craft.
In winning yesterdays race. a feat
which was though practically impos-
sible owing to the lack of sufficient
sailing breeze. ResoIute won her
third consecutive race, the challen-
ger having annexed the first two
races of the series. The start was
made at 2:17 o'clock. this giving
the yachts until S:17 TO complete the
thirty miles.
For the first time since the two
boats have been racing Shamrock,
during the early part of the race
pointed as close into the wind as did
Resolute and Capt. Burton, the
Shamrock's skipper, managed to
cross Resolute's bow at 1882. con-
tinuing to foot very fast and leading
ResOlute by several hundred yards.
At 3:35 the challenger was still a
quarter Of a mile or more aheaed Of
Resolute. At 4:0S Resolute attempt
ed to Shamrock's bow, the de-
fender having run into a fair breeze,
but Capt. Adams failed in his at
tempt. Only a few yards separated

the racers at 4:1O. AT AIS tire res
olute slipped ahead Of Shamrotk
and gradually increased her lead.
After that the defender was never.
headed again by Shamrock during
the remainder Of the race.
The fifteen mile outer mark was
passed at 5:1S:29 by Resolute. and
at 5:22:37 by the Shamrock. 1t
had taken Resolute three hours and
five minutes to ove the first half
Of the race.
The last fifteen miles Of the race
was before the wind and Resolute
managed to make this distance IN
two hours. and thirty-four minutes
elapsed time for the race was
5:35:15 and that of Shamrock
5:4S:2O. Shamrock sailed the last
fifteen miles in two hours f0rty-two
minutes and forty-three seconds.
Thus out of the three races which
Resolute won, two we're annexed
without any time allowances. while
the third was a dead heat between
the two boats. the allowance giving
the American boat the decision OF
the two races won by Shamrock. one
was the result of R~esolute's being
disabled, while in the other the ch27~
lenger was the winner in a drifting
match somewhat similar to yeSter-
days race.

WHAT THEY SAY
LEW TENDLER


Lew Tender has a lot of praise
for the Mitchell boys. He has just
boxed and won decisions from both.
Following his fight with Richie he
says:
eff Milwaukee fans think that
i beat Mitchell they should have
seen Willie jackson in Philadel-
phia the Last time I boxed him.
i don't see why Richie should
lose any more prestige than
jackson. jackson is a great
fighter, but I'm only telling you
what occurred when we boxed
SO you can give Richie the credit
due him."
Dave DriscolI
Benny Leonard holds a warm spot
in Dave DriscolPs heart. Dave
praises the champion with these
words:
Leonard is the greatest card
in the country today, not except
ing Jack Dempsey and Georges
Carpenter. Leonard was the
greatest single factor In putting
Jersey on the boxing ma and
making the S. o. r.. sign con-
spicuOus the Hudson.
Why, the allotment OF tickets
that Leonard sells himself more
than makes up his end OF the
bout. In one of his fights for me
Benny personally sold $4,000
worth of pasteboards-aI1 that
/ would give him. He thinks a
lot of his mother, too. Benny
took her to the coast on his
movie trip and didn't spend his
time posing with the beach
beauties"
Roy Corhan
Here's a ball player who rides
himself. When he makes a mistake
he rakes himself over the hot Goals
in great style. He is Roy Corhan,
shortstop of the San Francisco Seals.
This is what he says to himself, says
he:
you're a fine shortstop, Cor
han. Every time you make a
boot they make a flock OF runs
You let hat ball play you as II
you We're a busher, you fathead.
Why didn't you come in when
you started in or stay back alto
gether. You must have looked
fine on that one You know,
you get paid for taking hard
chances as well as easy ones.
Why a schoofboy could get those
high bounces."
