HOSE Win WITH
FABER HURL|NG
Red SOx, First Of Eastern Teams,
Repelled by Ace Of Gleason's
staff, 4 to l.

Chicago, ILL.,, May 11.-With Ur-
ban Faber pitching one of his air
tight games, our new White Sox
stepped out yesterday afternoon
and won a 4 to 1 combat from the
Boston Red Sox, the first of the
eastern clubs to appear at Comiskey
Park this season.
Opposed to Faber for seven in
nlngs was Bullet Joe Bush, speed
demon of the invaders. And it was
a merry old twirling duel between
these two great right-handers.
After the first half Of the eighth the
score was tied up at l and /. Bush
allowed karr, young man from
the Little Rock, Ark, club, to hit
for him in the eighth. Karr drove
IN the tying marker, but Bush was
automatically relieved of further
mound service. Allen Russell
pitched to the Sox in the eighth and
it was at his expense that the hose
OF white put over the victory.
Faber pitched one of his great
games. The Cascade redhead is
pitching a wonderful article of hall
this season. When he is as good as
ne was yesterday he will beat the
pest club in the world Scora.

Chicago, May 11.-Japan has q
Babe" Ruth Of its own. The cham
pion home run hitter of the far
east is Tsnaka Of the Wasedo uni
versity team, with a record of six
homers in six games. He is here
today with the japanese university
team on it's American tour. Tanaka,
like Ruth, is broad shouldered and
stocky, and plays the same out
field position as the New Yorker.
He also bats left-handed.
Tanaka is what most experts
term a natural hitter and is not
plate-shy. He drives at the ball
with a terrific. free-swing, putting
all Of the power Of his broad Shout
ders into the drive. He weighs
1853 pounds and is feet 6 inches in
height.
Every member of the Japanese
team is anxious to see Ruth in
action, as his fame as a home run
hitter is widespread wherever base
ball is played in Japan. Jos.
The Japanese team opened its
American tour here yesterday, los

Chicago, May 11.-(United Press
magnates have succeed

supreme power over the sport
This was shown today when fig

league games throughout the coun-

public here by the national COM
mission through the United Press
The average attendance at games
SO far this year has been between
1000 and 5000 over that of last

quarters from magnates and man
ayers all over the country were
unanimous in declaring that credit
for the increased popularity of the
game goes to Judge Lands an
nOunced determination and efforts
to keep the sport clean.
1T is through your efforts to rid
the game of Irregularities that we
are getting good crowds" one mes
sage from a baseball leader to Lam
dis read.
After the revelation of bribery
and scandals in the game last win
ter baseball leaders feared it might
kill the popularity Of the sport
with the public, the same as racing
fell in esteem, after publicity was
given to crookedness.
Lands was appointed baseball's
high commissioner to keep it clean
and attempt to counterfeit the effect
of the publicity given crooked play
ing.
The known integrity of the Judge,
his strict enforcement of rulings
and his high standing in the public
mind has had a desired effect, &C
