WABASH LOSES
1OlNNING GAME
TO Butterflies
Irvington School Has Strong
Claim on State Diamond

Not to be out-done by the major
leaguers who are clouting homers
day after day in amazing numbers,

Butler-Wabash game Friday at Irwin
field was largely decided by four-ply
swats The Butler jinx over Wabash
held good and the locals won the
second game from the little Giants
in ten innings, Z to 6. Three home
runs We're made in the contest and
all had important bearing on the re-
suit. The victory gives Butler a good
claim 10 the State title.
Right at the start Leslie Of Butler
lifted one over the left field fence with
a mate on the paths. 1t gave Butler
the jump and they were never headed
until the seventh inning when ].
Wyatt. Wabash's premier slugger, put
one in the same place with the bases
loaded II tied the score as Wabash
had counted one in the sixth. Three
singles put over another marker and
Wabash was in the lead.
Butler failed to score in its half of
the eighth, but with one run needed
to tie, Blessing raped one over that
same left field fence for the tieing
tally Tn the tenth. Griggs. who had
been in the game up to his eyebrows
all afternoon, crossed the rubber with
the winning run when j. Wyatt the
hero, dropped Browns easy fly to

BULL DOG IN
BATTEEF TITLE
Yale, Joke of Years Past on
Track, Springs Surprise
Strong Contender,
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
United Press Sports Editor

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 90
Those two well known battlers, the
bear Of California and the bulldog Of
Yale will tear and drag each other
around within the stony walls of the
Pennsylvania stadium this afternoon
for the intercollegiate championship
on track and field.
California. champions Of two years
running and Yale. the joke Of two
years straight, each came out of the
preliminarles yesterday with almost
an entire team qualified to go into
the semi-hnals and finals.
The weather was perfect this morn
ing; the sun popped out Of a clear
sky and there was hardly enough
push in the air to get the flags
moving on top of City Hall.
California IS considered almost GER
tain TO win and the experts among the
coaches and former athletes were
specializing on the margin by which
the Westerners would become the
champions for the third straight time
While some track records may be
made today. it is hardly possible that
any new marks will be made In the
field events. as two were set up yes
terday in the trials and the same
marks Will hold good for the finals,
if not bettered.
Stories. the Yale star, made new
record in the javelin throw with toss
Of 1919 feet l inch. and Tootel. the
Bowdoin giant, broke all records when
he threw the hammer l8l feet inches.
Alfred Leconey, the Lafayette star,
was shooting at the record III the 100
and 220-yard dashes during the trials,
and he may set up new mark II he
is pushed today.
The games start this afternoon at
2:30, daylight time.

AZ BASEBALLERS LEAD OPPONENTS IN G.
Fridays Victory Over Short
ridge Keeps Record
Clean.
Manual high school is

Manual high school is now
leading in the city baseball
series with two victories after its
win Friday over Shortridge, Is
to 4. Technical has won one and
lost one, and Shortridge has lost
two.
The most important game of
the season will be played at Technical
diamonds next Friday when Manual
meets the East Siders In their own
back yard. From the form shown by
the teams it hardly seems likely that
Shortridge can defeat either Of the
other two schools. The Red and
White against the Green and White
seems to be the deciding struggle. A
victory for Tech would tie the two
clubs, while a victory for Manual
would give them undisputed claim to
the city title.
On next Tuesday Technical and
Shortridge meet in their second game
at Riverside Park. The first en-
counter was an easy win for Tech.
The Misunderstanding contest
Friday was a ragged affair with the
southside team having much the
better Of the argument. They hit
hard and Shortridge never had much
chance against the high class twirl-
ing Of Woempner. He showed plenty
of stuff and good control Four hits
were made off him and two of them
came in the first inning.
Dixon would have done better had
he received any encouragement from
his team mates. Brown who relieved
Dixon was bombarded and Dixon. who
had gone to left field, came back into
the box the last two innings and
looked good.
Shortridge did not get an earned
run. Passed balls accounted for the
two runs in the fourth inning. Eich-
man hit hard for Manual Able
Thatcher in center for Shortridge
covered plenty Of territory in snagging
eight chances without an error.
