BEACON UPSETS DOPE,
DEFEATS SALESIANUM

Showing over single tally IN the
ninth frame Beacon College nosed
out Salesianum Catholic High
School yesterday afternoon at
Eden Park, 4 to 8, causing one OF
the biggest upsets IN local scholastic
baseball. On past form the Sallies
were looked on as sure winners, and
that old time saying-"You never
can tell in baseball"-was proved
once again.
Beacon playing great baseball,
even though defeated with ease in
a recent meeting between the two
clubs, was not TO be denied.
Salesianum started like house on
fire In the first, scoring two mark
ers. Not to be outdone, Beacon
came back In their half OF the sec
ond frame and took the lead, SHOW
ing three across.
The Gold and White tied the
score in the sixth, and the scoring
was at a standstill until the final
frame. when the Business College
boys sent home the winning tally.

RATE FOR 10 MILES

In an exhibition run the Paige
6-66, Daytona Model, stock chassis,
covered ten miles on the San Carlos
California; Speedway in minutes
26 1-5 seconds, on Easter Sunday
afternoon. This is at the rate of
9S.2 miles per hour for the ten miles.
Piloted by the veteran driver, Earl
Cooper, the Paige gave its unofficial
exhibition Of ten miles against time
just before the running of the set
racing features of the Easter pro-
gram and a large crowd cheered
Cooper and the car when he finished
his dash. This is believed to be
the fastest time ever made for the
distance by a strictly stock chassis
The official record for the distance
is held by this Paige 6-66 Daytona
Model stock chassis, which, driven
by Ralph Mulford, set the record at
the Uniontown Speedway a year ago
by covering 10 miles in minutes
81 4s-100 seconds. or at the rate Of
81 9-10 miles per hour. It is one
of the nine worlds stock chassis

For the nrst time in the histor,
OF the Wilmington High School. g
gymnastic exhibition will be givsr
by the students picked from ths
Freshmen and Sophomore classes
tomorrow night at s o'clock, in the
gymnasium of the school. The Gym
will be decorated in the school col.
ors, Cherry and White and the school
orchestra of forty pieces will furnish
the music. 1t is estimated that about
300 boys and girls will participate in
the demonstration.
Approximately 1900 boys in the
school take some form OF physical
training. whether it be gymnastics
or some branch of athletics. The
Gym Director, c. Brown, teaches
about six classes every day and
some of these classes. especially the
Freshmen, number about seventy in
a section.
Physical Instructor Brown has
worked hard for the past month get
ting the boys ready for tomorrow's
event. There has not been day
missed by the lads. who are work
ing diligently for the exhibit. The
entire number OF the fellows could
not practice at one time, so the in
structor arranged schedule which
made It possible for all the different
classes to rehearse.
The Misses Wainwright and Hayes,
instructors OF the girls. have also
been busy with their proteges. The
majority of the events in which the
fair sex will perform will be dance
and calisthenic numbers.

Farmers races. open only to the
residents of Delaware. Chester
Montgomery and Berks counties
who are bona fide husbandmen. will
be one of the features of the at
tractive program at the annuar,meet-
ings of the Phoenixville Hunt Rae
ing Association, which will be held
this year on May and 13, with a
week OF races between these red
letter events.
In addition TO these races for
farmers. held with an eye to stimu-
late and aid in the production OF
the racing breed of horse among the
farmers. there viii be fiat races and
timber chasing. The best horses Of
the equine world will be on hand
at the race course, which is situated
at the end Of the trolley line in
Phoenixville and within easy access
OF the railroad stations.
In addition one hours motor trip
through historic and beautiful Valley

week in practice as Manager Major
has been unable to. get a game with
any OF the. local school Mines
Dick Woodall must have become
pitcher all at once. This lad play
ed wonderful game against the
strong Salesianum team. Dick will
probably be used in all the impor-
tant affairs now.
O'Neil IS n crackerjack at second
sack. Jimmy knows how to hit, too.
Just hit It over to Jimmy O'Neil is
the slogan. when the Tenth street.
ers get llmbering up in practice
games.
Coach Boggs thinks that his CO.
horts have at last come back to
win. Taking from the recent wins
that the business boys have staged
they're going to make the rest of
the season a brilliant success.
That big 12-day trip does not
come off until the 18th Of this
month. There has been much said
CONCERNING this itinerant baseball
affair because It is a sort OF novelty
in scholastic baseball.
They say that George Powell !
and Ed. Harrington can do head |
work as we'll as hand work. These |
youngsters are good students at
their studies and set a fine example |
for the others on the team.
Newark High is still wondering |
how Beacon ever got away with
them by a 10 run defeat. But the
business twirlers were hot when
they journeyed down to the college
town and came home with the rich
bacon.
The Tenth Street nine's hurling
staff has received quite a bit of
changing around, first Il was SeTby
then Rogers and now Woodal.
Dick Woodall is scheduled to stay,
that is in every game at least, for
he's the Beacomites' pitching ace.

BY SHAKESPEARE

The boys who are going to per-
form for the Catholic High. both in
i running and field events, at Frazer
Field on Saturday have been train
ing faithfully this week. These
youngsters. who will stake them
selves at the get-together school
meet. are lot of hardy lads. who
put their hearts and souls into their
work. though they are partly haDdi-
capped because OF insufficient time.
Beacon showed its teeth yester-
day and beat the frisky Catholic
diamonders by one run, which was
rolled in during the eighth frame.
This was n surprise. but Salesianum,
like all other teams OF school and
club, must expect these little set
backs. The Catholic boys played
ball, but seemed a little disturbed
by the soggy field.
Goldey College and Wilmington
High are booked for next week.
Both these fast school mines have
had a very successful season so
far. and can't wait until they meet
the Gold and White.
They say the Chester High fans
are laying bets that Salesianum
won't even score on them. Quite
big thing to prophecy, eh2 Well.
let's wait until the game is over,
then let us talk matters over.
The Eighth street school is still
second place in the Catholic !
League. and 1t looks as II it's going |
to hold 1t. too. st. Joe Prep has re-
iDstated its Ave suspended players, |
and may now become a close run
for the championship, |
though It will have TO go some to
clear West Catholic High. which is
third.
Walt Micha, last seasons captain |
OF the Salesianum basketball team, |
is going 10 try at several field events |
on Frazer Field. Walt has |
been putting in some pretty hard
training and should make some kind

Frankie Burke, star backstop for |
the Catholic nine, has caught every |
game for the Eighth streeters and
has shown quite a lot OF prowess
and cleverness. Frankie knows the
game and it's very seldom that he
gets of the main line.
Ed Donahue and Ed Fahey are
great sluggers. but they have a habit
II hitting the pill into the outfleld-
ers' hands. These boys sure do
mash the apple when they hit, and
,nly by luck did their opponents

There is going TO be one game
which the Gold and White players
will turn all their attention to, and
hat is the match with the Cherry

Gameness under flrel
That added 10 phenomenal con-
troll. Is the real answer TO the no
hit. no-run, not-a-man-reach-fi first
ban game hurled by Charley Rob
ertson, Chicago White Sox rookie
against the Detroit Tigers.
In my many years experience as
an arbiter, I have never umpired a
ball game In which a pitcher show
ed more backbone. II Robertson
never pitches another game. his one
performances against the Tigers en-
titles him to go down in history as
hurler with nerves OF steel
II was the rockies second game
as a big league moundsman. Pitted
against one Of the hardest hitting
teams In the history of baseball, he
equaled record held by only two
men: Cy Young and Addie joss.
Away back in 1904 Young, hurl-
ing for Boston, trimmed the Ath-
letics In a no man-reach-first con-
test and four years later joss,
Cleveland star, working against Ed
Walsh. turned the trick on the Chi
cago White Sox. Walsh though de-
feated, struck out is Clevelanders.
Against Sluggers.
Robertson's feat, however. Is even
more remarkable. since the Detroit
team of today is a much harder hit
ting club than were the White Sox
or the Athletics of the old days.
The Sox. in fact, were then known
as the hitless wonders.
The Detroit team led the Ameri-
can League in batting last year with
an average we'll over 800. on the
team is Harry Hellman, champ bat
ter of the American League for
1921, and Ty Cobb. runner-up.
