Prospect Park, Brooklyn, yesterday.
The rangy Celt, starting in the wake of
field of eighteen runners, sped home
in fifth place in rs minutes 33 seconds.
The Paulist representative would
have achieved a higher ranking and
probably would have accomplished the
unusual feat of beating his rivals from
scratch had he increased his speed at
the outset. During the first milo Nc
Neil appeared satisfied to work up
gradually on his field. AS result, at
the turning point he found himself too
far behind the pacemaker.
Realizing his error, Mcneil swung
into longer and faster stride. He i'm

WICHITA PUTS
IN CLAIM FOR
new ISLANDER
Charge Griffin Was Not Waived Out
Of Western-Siated to Pitch
Tomorrow.

IVES Griffin. Rock Islands all
round performer, is slated to do the
hurting honors in tomorrow's game
against the Bunnies. When not
working in the box Griffin performs
in center field with all the sureness
and ability of a star. At bat he
is a dangerous hitter.
Somebody slipped up when Grit
fin got out of the Western league,
judging by the wall that is now
coming from Wichita. Wichita is
claiming the services of Griffin and
is striving desperately to secure
his return to the Western in its
service. Not chance in the world
for Wichita to get them, is the way
Jack Tighe refers to the claim.
Griffin was owned by Des Moines,
who desired to let Rock Island have
him. An agreement was reached
between Tighe and Jack Coffey.
manager of Des Moines, for Griffin.
But first waivers had to be obtained
from all clubs in the Western
league. Forty-eight hours is the
time given for clubio put in re-
quest for the player under waiver
and a certain price has to be paid
for him. The time limit expired
and Griffin was sent to Tfghe at
Rockford. Now Wichita is making
a belated effort to invoke the
waiver law to gain Griffin for it
self.

Bushnell, who pitched two con-
ference games, was touched for
only six hits. while Barrett was
touched for IL by Illinois Wesleyan
university, but with good support
he managed to win the game, 10

BAD BLOOD SHOWS
BETWEEN MOLINE
AND ROCK ISLAND

The Rock Island and Moline play
ers appear to have become imbued
with that feeling Of intense rivalry
that exists between the circles In
sporting activities. and every time
the two clubs hook up in combats
something interesting can be look
ed for. In the seventh inning of
yesterdays game general mixup
was narrowly averted when Pur-
pura, Moline left fielder. was thrown
out at the plate. He was on Sec
ond base when Ray hit safely TO
Griffin in center. Purpura round
ed third and was called back to the
base by the coacher when it was
apparent Grinin's throw. was COM
ing true to the plate. Blu. the ball
got away from Dixon and rolled to
the stand. Purpura was turned
around and sent on q dash to the
plate. Dennis recovered the ball
and returned 1t to Dixon at the
plate. The Pillow Boy was caught
standing up.
Then it was that the Moline play.
ers claimed the ball had rolled into
the Islander dugout> and had beer
tossed to Dennis by a Rock. Island
player not in the game. There was
not . reason in the world for charg.
ing such action as the ball was not
within Is feet of the dugout. Some
hot words. resulted at the plate
where players Of both teams as.
sembled for the argument and one
of the islanders got crossed with 6
Pillow Boy. An exchange Of blow.
appeared inevitable but teammate:
OF both interfered and prevented
the spilling of blood.
1t is something more than base
ball game when these two clubs
tangle; it is q bitter battle FOL

FOUR HOMERS IN
THREE DAYS, RUTH
TIES BEST RECORD

New York. May %. - Demon
statisticians, who searched the rec
ords last night, were unanimous in
saying that Ruth's feat of driving
out four homers in three days has
been equaled only once in the his
tory of baseball. The other slug
ger was Ed Williamson, who while
a member Of the Chicago Colts in
1884, set the pace for Ruth.
On June II, 1884, Williamson
garnered a four-base slam off the
slants Of Ed Burlington, the Boston
twirleE. The next game was on
June "a, when Williamson hit Jim
Whitney, also of Boston, for two
homers. The fourth circuit drive
came on June rs at the expense OF
Charlie Radbourne, the Providence
pitcher. In the same year William
son established the mark of q home
runs which Ruth shattered last
year.

Umpire 1e,1g Likes His Hash Raw! Raw! Raw!
FRANK BOYLE here TOMORROW
WITH Dummies; TWIN GAMES
SET FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY
Two Bargain Attractions Should
Draw Immense Crowds to
Douglas Park.

Frank Boyle's Dummies will be
seen In action at Douglas park to-
morrow afternoon and in twin
bill on Sunday against Jack Tighe's
Islanders. Cedar Rapids has been
uncorking some classy baseball OF
late with the result that they have
climbed from last place to within
hailing distance Of the top Of the
heap. From being gently razzed
by the Cedar Rapids sport writer's
for failure to win games in Three
Eye company, the team Is now be-
Ing lauded to the skies and the cd
baseball fever has struck the bunny
town again.
The Islanders took two OF three
from the Boyle men on the occa-
sion Of their visit to the Iowa town
the forepart of this week, and OF
course are determined to do even
more decisive work in the coming
scraps. The Bunnies are in par
ticularly fighting mood at present
writing and should prove tough
aggregation for any team in the
league to get the best Of.
Tomorrow's game will start at
3:15 o'clock and the first game
Sunday will be called promptly at
2:15. Both contests should be
played by o'clock. The single
price of admission will prevail for
the twin attraction on Sunday.
With an even break in the weather
Douglas park should be crammed
to capacity. The genuine baseball
weather is at hand and no red
blooded fan should allow the day to
go by without attending.
The observance OF Memorial day
on Monday will be the occasion for
more big doings at Douglas park.
We will have with us then the Pillow
Boys, Earl Mack's fightin' aggrega-
ton of baseball talent. Again will
two games be played in the after
noon and for the single price Of
admission. For bargain stuff, the
pair of double-headers has every
thing else cheated a mile. Four
games in two days are almost GER
tain to produce everything imagin-
able in a baseball way. Think
twice, Mr.. Fan, before you mako
any other arrangements to spend
the Sabbath and holiday afternoons.
