Mays, Home Early, Is

5NAEL MAYS, of the Yankee pitch.

family disturbance in the ranks Of
the more or less dcmorslixcd
Nanhees. had nothing further TO
add to the discussion to what al
ready has been said.
Whether the trouble has been
cleared up or just tcmporarily
smoothed over remains to be seen.
Mays didn't talk with Colonel Hus-
ton in Norfolk. He doesn't know
whether the latter discussed the
affair with Huggins or not. All he
knows is what he read yesterday.
that Colonel Huston says the fine
will stand.
The first pay checks to the Yankee
players will be handed out on Nav
and then Mays will know whether
the $500 has been deducted, and the
fans will know whether or not he
intends to remain with the club.
He has lots of time in which to
change his mind about turning in
his uniform, if he hasn't already
done so.

Seller Is Back Home
After a Long Hike

John ]. Seller, otherwise known as
the "Flying Yank," pedestrian extra or
dinary. has returned to his home in
Brooklyn and Is out with a challenge
to the world to any form of heel and
toe exhibition. Seller is youth of
nineteen and In the last three years he
has walked to all corners Of the United
States, his trips including hikes to San
Francisco, Texas, Tampa, Fla, and New
Orleans.
Seller has also given exhibitions of
walking against runners, icn stoto~s
and, as a special feature, walking back
ward. He is a professional and offers
the suggestion tnAt so.a>
baseball club might sign him t. t.yc
exhibitions in walking backward as a
game feature. He is said to have
a record of thirteen seconds for walk
ing backward from second base to the
home plate.
New-York tribune., 1922-04-08

In many ways. the contest to-day
was the best Of the tour, because
! it brought out good pitching on each
side. The Babe got homo run, the
first in a week, and here were two or
three sparkling fielding stunts. Also
there was capacity crowd Of Nir-
Clnlans present to gaze upon the big
league doings and no rain came forth
TO mar the show,
Aside from the Babes wsllop. which
indicates that he is regaining his bat
ting eye with the coming into North
ern air, tho satisfaction from the
Yank's viewpoint was the slab work
OF the veteran Bob ShawhcN. He
turned out the entire nine innings
With something like his old-time style,
and it looks as if he may get the call
to step to the rubber next Wednesday
when the Yankees open the season
against Washington.
Shawkey in Fine Form
Bob had plenty Of stuff of the bis
league kind His curve ball was hook
ing properly and he had control of it.
seems to be in shape. The game should
have been his with ease except for his
own blunders in the field. In the third
round he snatched bounce off
Johnston's bat and made a bad chuck
to second in his hurry to start
double play. Otherwise there hardly
could have been a run in that frame.
In the seventh he made it possible for
the tying run to get in with poor
toss to first base on a rather hurried
play on bunted ball.
The Dodgers got ten blows off
Shawkey, one solid drive over
ch lnf@
Johnston. In the ninth inning, the
winning run came over when willie
Pipp failed to come up with a hot
grounder slapped right at him. Two
were out at the time and a man on
third.
With proper fielding all the way
through, it looks as if the veteran
Yankee hurler might have breezed
through the entire game and allowed
only one run. That was the kind of
pitching he was delivering anyway. so
it looks as if he may be of great serv-
ice for the early games of the race,
and as none Of the other veterans seem
to be in top form he will be needed.
Grimes and Young Gordinier gave a
fine exhibition Of pitching for Brook
lyn after the former had extracted
himself from the tough frst inning.
Babes homer rather crushed him in
! that round, but the Babe never got
another wallop at the ball, though he
did walk once after Gordinier had
taken the job.
Grimes Makes Poor Start
Grimes toiled for the first five
rounds and was good, except in the
opener. With one man dead, Skinner
poled one safely, and it was followed
by Ruth's four-b -baser. McNally then
doubled against the left field wall, and
after Pipp had grounded out Ward de-
livered single that sent McNally
home. From then to the finish the
Yanks were helpless, though they
threatened in every round except the
second.
Another big crowd, probably 5000 or
more. swarmed over on the island
where the ball park is located, and al
though none were on the field. it
