Brooklyn VIII Have
College To Teach
Baseball

A baseball college has been
opened in Brooklyn, but the
location is not to be taken as a
hint that the Dodgers will be
enrolled among the students.
There is to be two weeks Of
mental training and four weeks
of practical work on the dia-
mond. In six weeks the college
hopes to send forth a finished
product.
Perhaps there is mistake in
the announcement of the col.
lege prospects. Maybe they
mean six years.

The Indians are riding safely in
third place, not too far ahead of
the team behind to BE able to loaf
and not too far behind the Mack
men to be left out when the final
squirt is due to start in September.
In other words, the Indians appear
to have d chance at the pennant,
which should serve to make them
interesting.
Speakers principal trouble, as II
is with Bush, is with his hurlers,
but he has been generally receiving
better work from his staff than
Bush has, which explains the Diff
ferent positions Of the two clubs.
The Indians will show three new
faces to Washingtonians on this
visit. Homer Surnma, in right field;
Rube Lutzke, at third base, and
Glenn Wyatt, behind the bat, are
yet to be seen by Capitalians in
Cleveland uniforms.
This series closes first section OF
the Griffs' present home stay.
Friday and Saturday they win be In
Philadelphia, returning with the
Mackmen for game here on
Sunday.
The Red Sox, coming here q week
from Thursday for four days, will
close the long home stay. From
then till July % the Griffs win be
on the road.

"The man with the auto horn
was sitting in his accustomed seat
behind the Buffalo dugout at
Oriole Park. The game hadn't
started. The foot of the horn
hadn't been heard. A brave Buff
falo player, hiding his face under
the top of the stand, reached out
his arm and doused the man with
the horn with a glass of water.
Manager Hooks Wiltse of the
Buffalo Club stood a few feet
away. He could hardly have
failed to see the act, but by
neither word nor sign did he re-
monstrate with his athlete. Earl
Ter in the day the same Wiltse
had wired President Toole of the
International League that mean
man, with noisy horn, was
annoying his dear boys by daring
to rest his horn on the top of the
Buffalo dugout while he cranked
cut annoying sounds. It was a
silly protest and an equally silly
ruling by President Toole of the
international League that the man
with the horn couldn't rest it on
the top Of the Buffalo dugout.
When the international League
begins telling its patrons how
much noise they can make it is
time for it to shut up its parks
and let the players turn to golf,
where silence is requil Ell when a
man is driving. And the Buffalo
Club should be held responsible
for the act of the player who
assaulted a patron by throwing
water on him. A fine of about
$50 would be fitting.

home fans ride him numerically
this season.
Baseball is becoming denatured,
as it were, when fans cannot boo
invading athletes, even though
sometimes their boos merely be-
token the empty head. They en-
joy hearing themselves making
noise. They have to pay their
way into the park, don't they,
and who profits?
Don't Need Protection.
A S q matter Of fact, baseball
~ players don't need protec-
- ton from anything but
actual assault by irste fans. Fiji
teen years ago, by the way, a
man would have been laughed out
of the league if he claimed any.
We may be old-fashioned and
wear suspenders an everything,
but we still believe that there was
better baseball, more determined
baseball, in the old, rough days.
Assaulting umpires rightly should
have been banished and has been.
But there is altogether too much
cry-baby stuff in the major
leagues nowadays.
We believe, for instance, that
the dollar sign is growing too inn
portant in baseball today. Wit
ness the encroaching of so-called
field boxes upon the field of play.
Every such seat cuts down the
fielding possibilities of the play
ers.
Baseball is rapidly, all too rapid
~, becoming a mere amusement.
We don't boo and rice performers
in the theater. They are known to
be doing their best to entertain
us. Polite silence or faint ap-
plause may indicate disapproval.
Baseball, on the other hand,
unless it degenerates into a mere
amusement and entertainment, is
supposed to carry the biting edge
Of competition, even now when
New York is carefully protected
as against all other cities.
In what other way can a
Washingtonian show his feelings
for a team composed of men
from Kansas, Minnesota, Ohio,
etc., except by riding the oppo-
sition?
If he can't, then he is merely
to. visit the ball park as he would
a theater, to be entertained.
When that time comes most
of us will prefer to take up golf,
even if it may bring callouses on
our softened palms and a deep
red to our necks. Baseball, as
it has always been known, will
have persisted from the land.

GIANTS FAIL TO GRAB
ONE VICTORY IN WEEK

The New York Giants, champions
Of the world. have been treated
roughly in the West for the past
week. They lost all five games
played and made it six straight by
losing yesterday to the Cardinals.
The Braves and Phillies, each
winning one game, were the next
worst clubs for the week.

Won't Stop Him.

<<TACK DUNN of the Orioles
is not in favor of stopping
- the man with the horn. He
says all his patrons are to be
permitted to bring all the noise
makers they want. The man with
the horn is to be permitted to sit
back of the visiting dugout, but
he must live up to President
Toole's order to keep from resting
the contrivance on the top of the
abode of the enemy.
= "I remember one ball player
who found throwing water rather
expensive. Del Mason, pitcher for
the Birds some years back, was
rather sensitive. He hurled a poor
game one day and when he read
a criticism of his efforts by Joe
Cummings, q local sporting editor
at that time, he saw red. Sending
a boy up to the press box, he re-
ouested Cummings to come down
to the bench. Cummings hurried
down. AS he entered the dugout
a generous shower greeted him.
The next morning Mason gave the
Judge $50 for his baptism"

PROTECTING the poor athlete
seems rapidly becoming a

customary for home fans to ride
the daylights out Of the visiting

a coma-back.

slithers On soIes of His Feet.

<kTTIS judging of distance is
beyond all praise, and his
- footwork is the right kind
Of footw6rk. He does not hop
about on his toes like a kangaroo,
but slithers on the soles of his
feet in the style of a plantigrade.
Quick as a wildcat he drags his
feet this way and that like a bear,
and can strike with his paws just
about as hard. The only man
whose footwork resembles that of
Wilde is Sam Langford, who
never by any chance jumps an
inch off the floor.
''The obvious advantage of
fighting in this way is that the
boxer can better keep his balance
and deliver his blows with his
feet fatty planted on the ground.
When his opponent misses Wilde,
as he generally does by a fraction
of an inch, Wilde advances sud-
denly and lands a hot return. He
measures the distance to his man
as precisely as he measures his
distance off his man.
"Jim Driscoll is his great
model if a natural fighter like
this can be said to have any
model. They are both sons of
the Principality, plucky little
Wales, which has given to the
world some Of the finest boxers
of the past or the present.
eff you were to make q rec
ord of the number of blows de-
livered by the ordinary run of
boxers at the empty air in the
course of a 15-round or 90
round fight, the total would run
well into three figures. Not so
in the case of Jimmy Wilde. This
cool and collected master of the
fine art of timing a blow hardly
ever let's a punch go that does
not land where he means it to
land or near it,"
