AMERICANS DUE
FOR REAL FLAG
FIGHT THIS YEAR

NEW YORK, May Is. = Eastern
teams pulled up with the expected puff
of short wind after making the first
western grade.
The New York Yanks in winning five
out of seven games made the best
showing in the first skirmish with the
strong western teams.
The Brooklyn Robins, who didn It
win a game all week, made the poor
est.
The champion Giants did well in
breaking even against the Cards and
the Cubs, two teams that ordinarily
gave them the most trouble. The Cards
won four out of six games.
After hitting a fast pace from the
start, the Cubs slumped and dropped
five out of six games. The Boston
Braves came out of their trance, and
split even with the Phils on the East
crn clubs.
Ty Cobb no doubt would like to stay
i'll the East the rest of the season
if he could.
The Tigers won five out of seven
games, and broke right into the first
division.
Wv Si'hu lidu bouSh SolHSj NiHiiliS >
only three out of seven. The Wash
ington Senators continued going in
their istless way, and dropped five
out of seven.
With a lead of four full games, the
Giants are in q better position than
the Yanks. Miller Higgins is only
one full game ahead of the Browns,
and the American League champions
have yet to tackle the Browns, and
Indians.
The terrific batting of the Giants
was slowed up when they went against
the good pitching of the west, the New
Workers getting fewer hits than any
team in the League.
The Yanks are hitting timely and
effectively, but they have been getting
the worst of the breaks, and anything
but the results from their ''five starr
pitching staff.
If there is to be real pennant race
this season, it looks due in the Amer
lean League.
The Giants seem to have the pennant
sewed up in the National League.

WATCHING THE SCORE BOARD

Yesterday S hero-Andy High hit a
homer in the seventh inning with one
on, and the Robins beat the Reds 6 to
5.
Ralph Sinner singled in the tenth
inning after Meusel had doubled and
the Giants won from the Cubs 5 to 4.
Hitting Mays hard in the pinohes,
the Braves had an easy time beating
the Yanks s to 2. Pilette had the
Qanks cross eyed.
With the help Ira Williams, who hit
q double and three singles in five times
up, Lee Meadows pitched the Phils to
5 to victory over the Cards.
Cleveland used three pitchers in vain
to stop the Senators who won 4 to 3.
Mogridge held the Indians safe all
the way.

stand off the plate so that even a ball
on the inside corner can be cut to
the opposing field. If he likes a high
ball he can help himself by running
up on the pitch and hitting the ball
while it is still high, well in front of
the plate. So, if he likes low ball
he may be able by standing far back in
the box to compel the pitcher to give
him the sort of ball he fancies most.
The shift also makes it difficult for
the pitcher to accurately gauge any
ball he pitches where it should break
to fool the batter, where it should
shoot, etc.
Batters who have extra good eyes,
and who arc keen judges of a pitched
ball, men like Lajoie, Groh, McGraw,
etc., can stand far back from the plate,
catch the probable direction of the
ball very quickly and step to take care
of it, If the ball is meant to be over
or on the inside of the plate they step
straight ahead and hit. If it is out
side tho plate they step in us far as
they deem wise. If far back in the
box and they Judge the pitcher is go
ing to break his curve late they can
by running up several steps hit the
ball before it breaks for its curve,
make a straight ball out of what was
meant to be u curve. If they think it
is low ball, they can by running up
on it, bring the ball up several inches
for the bat stroke.
The shift is great thing for bat
ters who can use it. Cobb S shift has
made him great. But all these things

LESSONS IN BASEBALL
THE VALUE OF THE FOOT SHIFT AT BAT
Copyright, 1922, by the International Syndc;

Shifts i'll batting pos
ition are common among
professionals who get
enough batting prac-
tice to make their eyes
good. 1t is to be doubt
ed that amateurs or
those who play only one
or two games u week
and who get little bat
ting practice can shift
steps yet maintain an
eye good enough to hit
the ball.
For those who can ac-
complish it successful
ly the shift in batting
step, two, three or moro
steps to hit, standing in
various parts of the
box, etc, is valuable for
this reason:
By shifting his step,
in, forward, etc, by
walking in towards the

enough from the plate.

Imperial Valley press., 1922-05-15

The famous shortstop of the White SoX of
1905-06 was one Of the most finished of baseball
players. Davis had original weakness, ::pulling
away from the plate. He cured that weakness
by taking shown above, his stance the extreme
rear outside corner of the batter s box far as
he could possibly get from the plate and taking
three steps in to hit Davis most finished
hitter. He batted both right and left handed and
used the shift from either side of the plate.
The player who has a tendency to pull away
from the plate as he hits will do well to study
Davis shift to cure that weakness.

NEW HEAD OF U. OF Nj.

President Little of the L. ST NJ,
now. he having been inauguratcd
Wednesday under favorable auspices
and with every assurance that a
splendid opportunity is thus afforded.
He comes to his work with q record
gratifying to every friend of the Uni
versity. And while much is expected
of college presidents today, as Gov
ernor Baxter remarked in his ad-
dress at the inauguration, and ito be
truly successful they also must be
able admnistrat tors and financiers''
there is general confidence on the
part of the public that the University
has secured one who measures up to
the requirements.
The field of endcavor which Pres
ident Little is privileged to occupy is
an inviting one offering inducements
that naturally appeal to one who
seeks TO contribute generous share to
the welfare of his fellows. The COL
lcge presidents of Maine are very
important factor in the character
building of our educational institu-
tons, their traditions are inspiring
and they deserve support.

SHOULD BE NO DOUBT ABOUT

II viii b. extremely unfortunate if
an impression gets abroad to the ef-
rcct that the Government does not
wish to undertake prosecution of
those charged with having swindled
II in time of war. Too many are
quick to believe rumors to that eff
feet. quite widespread is the opin-
ion that some privileged criminals
escape the penalties of the law. OF
what possible use can it be to urge
one so convinced that he owes it to
that Government to he a law abiding
citizen? His lip would curl in deris-
Ion, and that isn't healthy sign.
There was great cry and little wool
about prosecuting the profiteers
when Attorney General Palmer was
at the helm. Something different has
been expected of General Daugherty.
Perhaps neither official will be blam-
able II there isn't, but what about
the effect on the public mind? That.
we have seen While watching the
Effects of propaganda is a very seri-
Gus matter. 1t may be said that it
viii bc forgotten and it will seem to
We, but the poison Will he left silently
working. 1t will he in the system and
show itself eventually.
\ party accused of cheating his
government when ii is bcsct by enc
mics ii innocent deserves to be ac-
quilted; If guilty to be convicted and
speedily pcnalized in full publicity.
Nothing else will satisfy require
mcnts. Anything short of it will
prove injurious to all concerned. We
lave the best country and the best
Government the sun shines upon in
the opinion of most of those who
have had opportunity for getting ac-
quainted with other countries and
their governments. But that isn't
enough. we want to keep them SO.
And If there is any surer way than
! encouraging the people to be God
fearing. and law respecting, we do
not know what it is. Certainly any
laxity of effort to bring all those sus-
pccted of robbing this Govern Mt
into the full light Of publicity will not
contribute TO that end. Congress
should provide ways and means to
reveal the facts and authorities
should unfiinchingly prosecute to the
end.

Millions Tied Up
By House Soldiers
Bill Says McAdans

White sulphur Springs, w. Va,
May 10.-Hundrcds of millions of
dollars needed in the usual channels
of trade, will be tied up for three
years if the House Soldier Bonus Bill
becomes effective, said Thomas +.
McAdams, president of the American
Bankers Association, speaking here
today before the Executive Council of
the Association.
The bill which has passed the House,
Mr.. McAdams said, places upon the
banks the burden of financing such
cash advances as may be received
by the individual soldier.
"While the banks arc not obi ga ted
to discount the soldiers note secured
by his participation certificate" he
said, yet failure to do so will I'M
qucstionably submit the individual
institution to a charge of being I'M
willing to cooper, with the govern
ment and the soldier. On the other
hand, if these advances are made,
many of them will have to be carried
as past due for a period of three
years, when the government agrees to
reimburse the banks for advances
made
I'VE cannot lightly consider increas-
ing the debt of our people over five
times the amount of the total in
debtedness of the government prior to
the war, he continued, land Con-
gress has no right to put the tremen-
dous burden of from S5,O00,00O,0O
to $6,000,000,O00 upon our people
without at the same time making
specific provision for the retirement
of the obligation.
"If, however, this be n burden
which should properly be assumed
by the American people, then we
should as loyal Americans meet the
issue at this time and raise, through
a definite form of taxation, sufficient
sums of money TO provide for the
payment of the obligation within
some reasonable time limit"
Mr.. McAdams also outlined the
work which is being done by banks
to protect themselves against GRIM
inals. This, he said, consists largely
of educating the banker himself, so
