Hoyt Of the Yankees started out
with the firm determination tat he
would lead the major league pitchers
and Immediately hitched himself up
in double team yoke and tried to go
1t alone. That put an end to his as
pirations. He could not see advice
with the Lick telescope and would not
take orders until he was threatened
with more than moral persuasion.
Sam Jones was picked by those who
know the value of pitchers to lead
the American League The public
could not see him. because Sam was
with the Bostons last year and could
not shine with so much drab paint
around him. He has not shone this
year. although he has been basking
in the shadow of Babe Ruth's dia-
monds. He has pitched some good
ball. but has had a lot of games
kicked away from him and has helped
1t somewhat himself by limping to-
ward the close Of the contest.
Carl Mays Only a Shade.
Mays is but shade. He is no more
to be compared with the Mays of 1921
than French fried potatoes with
picked cabbage. He has not broken
even to date and there is not much
hope that he will. To do SO he must
have one continued round of success
topped off with whipped cream. It
looks as if he will get buttermilk
Coveleskie. the pitching Pole, who
has long held Cleveland in the lime
light. started as If he meant to earn
the BOBBY prize. He has been doing
better and has caught up with him
self. and now has few more vic
tories than defeats. but he can't be
the Covey of last summer. 1t is not
in the cards.
The players who shone better than a
mere glimmer last year, and who have
fought along to shine a lot better this
year are Shocker and Bush. 1t has
been claimed that the latter has been
put in easy spots by Higgins. If he
has it has been good thing for him
and good thing for the Yankees, be-
cause he has pitched better base ball
than most of his rivals, who have
worried more about the tips they
would have to give to the walters
than they have about their work.
Morton Of Cleveland is a pitcher who
has done remarkably we'll for one who
had been counted into the hospital
The National League hasn't a good

Nehf and Rixey have run quite a race

Having nothing in the way of active
service to occupy their attention to-
day the Nationals can ruminate on the
futility of trying to win ball games
without properly placed base hits as
was illustrated in their three-ply
series with the Yankees, and especially
in the final yesterday, when they To-

on his scratch hit to Pipp and the lat
ter's wild throw. In the following
frame Bush's unsteadiness filled the
bases with only one out. but a single
tally was the best the Griffmen could
obtain from the situation. Judge drew

As I recall it, Callahan kept buffet

almost worried to death. In the
second and third round Callahan
continued to wnIlop me with
ever. thing. Once or twice he stag
Rered me and felt myself reeling.
But all the while 1 was confident
that Callahan would not knock
me out.
Every time I looked toward my cor
ner. even though I didn't feel like it
as it was no laughing matter to get
walloped so hard by Callahan had
to smile to see the antics of Glass
man. He was like a wild man, hop
ping around, up and down, his hands
megaphoned at his mouth, shouting.
Hold on, Lew-hold on, Lew" He
was as pale as a ghost.
I've seen Phil take "beatings' while
in the corner of other boxers, but that
night in my bout with Callahan Glass
man got the worst beating of his
managerial career.
When the fourth round opened
found that I was stepping faster

fourth, and. NJ I remember 1t, most
of the papers gave me q win.

were yelling for knockout, but they
didn't know that that punch had

rounds had to show my best defense
to be standing at the finish.
That jackson bout at the ball park
may stand out in the minds of lot
of fans as my hardest battle 1t
wasn't. Willie Knocked me dizzy, all
right, in that first round. But, really,
I never was hurt. I knew everything
