Ambitious Youngster at Ball

When it comes to bargains It
would seem that the Pirates an
nexed one of the greatest of modern
times when they secured Charlie
Grimm to do some first basing for
them.
Grim not SO many years ago was
a program and soft drink salesman
in the Pirate ball park He always
had the ambition to become a ball
player and got a chance in 1916
with the Athletics. He was then
only seventeen years old. He failed
and was farmed out to Durham in
the Carolina Association. He next
appeared with the ST Louis Cardi-
nails for a brief spell, but wasn't
sufficiently seasoned, and was sent
to Little Rock, Arkansas.
The Pirates purchased him in
1919 for $4,000.
Grimm, not yet tWenty-four, ranks
as one Of the most remarkable field.
ing first basemen in the game and
so. far this year has been a batting
sensation. He has been polling the

between .375 and 400.
If you asked Barney Dreyfuss If
he would acceRt 800, 900 today for
the youngster who cost him one
thirtieth Of that sum. it IS likely
that Barney would look at you IN

UNREASONABLE
IN DEMANDS
Canadian Canoeists Ask-FuII
Expenses to Participate in
Shrine Regatta.

An invitation had been extended
by the committee in charge OF the
Shrine regatta to be held here June
Z, to Canadian canoeing organiza-
tons and it had been confidently ex-
pected that quite a number OF the
Dominion's foremost paddlers would
accept, making the event assume
an international significance.
1t seems, however, that the Can
adams have made demands upon
the committee which if adhered to
will practically exclude all POSSIBLE
ity of their participating in the
event.
According to the Canadian re-
Spouse to the challenge of the COM
mittee, the Dominion clubs demand
that all expenses connected with
their trip to Washington be de-
frayed as a condition of participa-
ton in the races. While none OF
the American clubs entered in the
meet have made such request. the
committee in charge of the races
has made an exception and extended
an offer of 500 toward the Can
adam expenses. This offer has been
declined, and the demand renewed
that all expenses be met.
The Shrine water meet already
has been assured Of a national
aspect with canoe clubs from Rhode
Island, Delaware, New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Mary
land, Massachusetts and Virginia
scheduled to participate in the races:
The American challenge was issued
not only to give the regatta inter
national significance but to settle
whether international canoeing hon.
ors rest in the United States or
Canada.
Shrine officials still are hopeful
Mr.. Burch said today that the. Can
adams will reconsider their position
and yield to the sentiment of the
American racing clubs that the Can
adams have never afforded a Fair OPP
portunity to settle canoeing honors

TITLE BOUT
KiIbane and criqui Ready for
International FeatherWeight
Clash Saturday.

NEW YORK, May 30.-W h
Johnny Kilbane and Eugene Crlqul
both under the weight limit of 126
pounds for their fifteen-round- bout
for the worlds featherweight cham
pionship, TO be fought at the Polo
Grounds on Saturday afternoon, the
boxers have ceased all heavy work
and are now engaged In SIMPLY
keeping their muscles supple.
1t was announced at kllbane'
training quarters that the champion
was down to 1874 pounds. The an
nouncement was made at Manhas-
set, where Criqui is training, that
the little Frenchman weighs just a
fraction more than 124.
From now until the day OF the
fight the men will content them
selves with the lightest of exercise
in an effort to build up.
Kilbane and Criqui plan to- enter
the ring at the exact weight limit.
Each is DESTROYS Of conserving all
the strength possible, and they be-
lieVe that this can be accomplished
best by not being under weight
when it is time for them to begin
exchanging blows.
This will be the first international
featherweight bout for the worlds
title to be held in New York city in
twenty-three years, unless the ten
round no-decision affairs are
counted as championship events
1t has aroused great interest, and
Matchmaker Tom O'Rourke ex-
poets close to a capacity crowd to
witness the bout. Six representa-
times of French newspapers have
arrived here to cover the bout.
That Criqui will be dangerous as
long as he is on his feet is proved
by his record of knockouts to his
credit and has won fifty Of his
last fifty-six bouts with sleep-pro-
ducing punches.

CHICAGO, May 3d.
Rather than surrender $500,

Elizabeth Roe went to Jail.
She refused to take her six
month-old baby with her and

for Mack's patience. He found,
himself last year. Sammy Hale,
the third baseman, represents an
outlay of $4,000 in cash and
players.
Thus Mack finally broke his
determination not to bid for
minor league stars on the open
market. However, he felt that
a third baseman would make"
his team-and it did. Besides
Hale there is -RicOnda, q New
York boy, who jumped in when
Hale was injured early in the
season.
Riconda has done such good
work that he has been retained as
an extra infielder. - The, substi-

On first base is Hauser, young
man who was snatched BY Mack

years ago but who did not gain a

good enough to bench Clarence

DRIVE II YOURSELF
 CARS MN VICTORY
Only Usual License For Pri' vate Autos To Be Required,
 Judqe Evans Ruled

Firms renting automobiles on the drive-it- t-yourself plan expressed great satisfaction Friday night with the news contained in a dispatch from The Age Heralds Montgomery bureau that only the usual private liz censes would be required for cars op- erated on that system. According to the former interpretation of the law, such cars would be required to pay the full taXicab fee for lisenses on these cars, amounting. in many cases to three times as much as the pri- vate license.
 H. P. Whitman, manager of Whit mans Fifth avenue garage, stated that the new interpretation of the law was really a victory for the pub lie and especially for those who could not afford cars of their own -but depended upon drive-it-Yoursel cars for their Sunday and holiday eX- tcursions.
 We would have been obliged to cut down the numbers of cars kept on hand" he said, "as we could not have afforded to pay taxes and other charges on them for seven days a Sunday and holiday rush. That would have meant that we would not have had enough cars to supply Sun day and holiday needs, and many per sons would have been obliged to stay at home"
 Mir. whitman said that if it had been necessary to pay the taxicab license fee on all his cars he prob ably would have been obliged to raise his rates. Now he hopes to be able to continue the present charges, with possibility of even lowering them if the price of gasoline con- tinues to drop. Others agreed with Mir. Whitman.
 Judge A. A Evans, special assist ant attorney general, Friday ruled that in case a car were rented and the person renting it used it for carrying passengers for hire, it should be classified as a taxicab and required to pay the taxicab license fee, but that when company rented out a car to a person who drove 1t himself for his own private use, only the regular private auto license rate should apply.
