CHAMPS STILL HOLD
TOP POSITIONS IN
SENSATIONAL WEEK
Tail End Clubs Upset Dope
and Put Up Stiff
Battles.

New York. May 2S.-In a week

with sensational come backs by
Brooklyn and Cincinnati in the National
league. the champion New York clubs

p%ennant race, but only after meeting
some of the stiffest opposition they
have encountered so far this season.
The Giants emerged from the throes of
a slump just as Pittsburgh threatened
to jump to the top. while the Yankees
retained their lead more because of in
different playing by their chief rival st.
Louis, than their own good work.
There was comparatively little change
in the relative standing of the American
league clubs. but the older circuit, with
hitherto trailing teams running amuck,
underwent a radical shakeup, Pittsburg
displaying st. Lauis in second place.
while Brooklyn scrambled from around
the bottom to the first division. closely
pursued by Pat Moran's rejuvenated
Cincinnati Reds.
The Giants thus are having far from

Of the season, with four teams showing
decided pennant aspirations while in the

Hornsby Takes Lead
Among Swatters of
Two Major League.

st. Louis. May 2S.-Roger Hornsby,
second baseman of the local Nationals,
and last years batting champion of the
National league, Sunday took the lead
among the home run sluggers of the
two major leagues by slamming out
two circuit drives in Sundays game
against Pittsburgh, bringing his total
to 13. The first came in the first in
ming off Carlson with one man on, the
second was made off linn in the eighth
inning with the bases clear.
Hornsby. reputed the highest paid
player of the National league, had been
trailing Kenneth Williams. the local
Americans home run king. until this
afternoon. In making his first circuit
smash off Carlson in the first inning
Sunday he tied his American league
rival and passed the %Iatter's record of
the season in the eighth inning.
Only three Of his home runs have
been made away from st. Louis. while
the remaining 10 have been hammered
out in the local park. Unlike his local
American league rival, Hornsby has
shown no preference in placing his
drives for home runs, while Williams
has made most of his circuit drives
into the right field bleachers.

HUNGRY FANS GET
MORE BASEBALL
SCANDAL FODDER
Shady Incidents of Past Just
Now Coming to
Light.
BY !. e. SANBORN.

If folks had known all the conditions
existing in professional baseball prior
to 1919 they probably would not have
been surprised as they were at the
sale of the worlds series by some OF
the White Sox to Cincinnati. Although
pretty nearly everybody had the con-
viction thrust upon them that ball play
ers We're out for all the dough they
could get, few realized how completely
the dollar dominated the diamond until
the second edition Of the 1919 scandal
began to circulate.
OF course. the contention of Han
Felsch and others of the banished Sox
that the American league pennant OF
1917 was purchased does not ring true,
because of it's i~mprobability in the face
of the records Of that season which
do not show that Detroit lost any sus-
picious quantity of games TO Chicago.
But the blacklisted players had it in
their power to make the claim that the
flag was bought and such things are
as hard to disprove as it was TO con-
Wet the guilty players of throwing the
worlds series, even after they had con-
fessed.
Admits Raising Pool
1t is admitted there was a pool
raised among the White Sox and that
Chic Gandil was the collector and dis
tributor. Moreover, nobody seems TO
know for sure just what Chic did with
the money. And Gandil belonged to
the same clique as the discredited
squad. The good Sox claim they con
tributed to reward the Detroit pitchers
for the extra effort against the Boston
team, which was disputing. the pennant
with ('h,,arn that ro1i II ~ haua
been they were double crossed-just as
in 1919-and the money was used in
an attempt to have the games thrown
to the White Sox.
That money was used is not denied
and the only question seems to be the
degree of the wrong committed.
The real meat of the revived scandal,
however, was the n%onchalant way in
which present Sox players tried to dis
miss it as an above board transaction,
well known to organized baseball" and
quite the usual thing" as one of the
players put it.
Not an Unusual Thing
But if everybody interested in organ-
lied baseball had known it was quite
ing team to offer a reward to players
on other teams to use extra endeavor
to beat some other flag contender the
public's belief in the honesty of base
ball would have been shaken much
longer ago than 1919. Now that there
promises to be a complete airing of
the old scandal it is going to require
some more drastic action to convince
doubling fans that all the ills of the
game were cured whcn Judge Lands
was made doctor vfh authority to
prescribe or operate as he saw fit.
Still, the great mass of patrons
have had TO believe for years that the
ball player considered baseball
