TENPIN Event ENDS
WITHOUT new MARK

BUFFALO,, y. Y, April THE
twenty-flfth international champion
ship tournament of the America n
Bowling Congress, with a record
entry of 1900 five-man teams, failed
to produce any record scores.
Clarence Longs count of 1877 pins,
which won the all-events champion
ship. was the only one to beat the
winning mark of last year, and this
by margin of only pins.
Buffalo carried off two champion
ships this year. Clarence Long, all
events winner, being a member of the
Weisser Blue Ribbons, who took down
first prize in the five-man event with
a total of 1923 pins.
The other championship doubles
and singles were won by Chicago
bowlers, Edward Schupp and Edward
karich, with a total of 1918 in the
two-man event. and Alfred Green
with a score of 706 pins, in the in
dividual event.
Elks of Schenectady shot high
team single of the tournament in
scoring 1869 pins. The best two-mar
mark was 525 by Mills and Scribner
of Detroit. and Pominic de Vito OF
Chicago set up high single score OF
27s in the individual event.

Finished First In 1924.

John j. McGraw is the leading
standpatter in base ball He be
l1eVes in leaving well enough alone
he is going into the campaign for
his fifth straight pennant with ex-
actly the same team which won the
National League championship last
year, and practically the same team
which won two years ago. Barring
the addition of a young player or
two, the Giants will open against
the Boston Braves on April II with
every man in his place as his team
lined up in the big drive for the
league championship last September.
There are those managers, astute
base ball men, who believe that Nc
Graw is trifiing with his luck. The
great Chicago machine of Frank
Chance seemingly at it's best after
winning in 1906, 1907 and 1908,
crashed almost overnight The Ath-
letics of 1910, 1911, 1913 and 1914
blew up and the fragments never
have been collected The Giants OF
1911, 1912 and 1913 fell to pieces and
1t took even such a master as Nc
Graw four years to reassemble. The
law of averages, the pendulum Of
percentage, will weigh heavily on the
Giants this year.
Looking along the lineup, how
why the Giants should crack. They
look good. They have old players
in spots, but it is also true that
they have new ones coming on. with
Art Nehf, Jack Bentley, John Scott
Hugh McQuillan, Virgil Barnes and
Bill Ryan they have a forrS dab!e
collection of tried pitchers, and in
Wayland Dean, Ernie Maun, Howard
Baldwin, Walter Huntzinger and
Kent Greenfield they have a quintet
of two-year- ready to step In

McGraw many a bad night the last

RIVALS IN AUGUSTA
FOR PAIR OF GAMES

AUGUSTA, Ga, April with play
ing roster of 26 men, the world cham
p!on Nationals are in a town familiar
to only two of them, although this
Georgia community, where games with
the Giants are scheduled today and
tomorrow, was the home of the Wash
ington clubs training camp for the
seasons of '17-'1S-19.
OF all the Nationals now here Judge
and Rice are the only players who
used to do preseason stunts on the
local grounds.
OF the three absent from the squad,
johnson, Zachary and Bill Hargrave,
Walter was the lone one to train at
Augusta. 1t does not take the average
big league club long to change its
entire personnel.
Johnson will not gain very much
relief from the ordeal of travelin g
after leaving the club in Birming-
ham to go direct to Washington. He
is not due to arrive in the National
Capital until noon tomorrow, just "a
hours ahead of the remainder of the
Nationals.
Clyde Milan. former Nat, now man
aging the Memphis team of the
Southern Association, visited his old
club at Birmingham yesterday. He
material and buZzed quite a time
with President Griffith, but both de-
clared nothing came of the confer
ence.
Wilson's game effort to spear
Bluege's drive in the second inning
of the game at Birmingham held the
hit to a single. Hack made dive for
the ball and barely managed to ne
gotiate pickup.
Jackson had n rough time of it in
the third round. He failed to keep
his foot on the bag when McQuillan,
who took Rice's roller, threw for
force play on Harris. After Harris
was trapped off the middle station
later, Rice set sail for the sack and
got there safely when Jackson, who
received the ball well ahead of the
runner, failed to tag him.
BIuege was kept from a hit by
Groh's sensational fielding in the
third Ossie drove the ball smartly
between third and short, but Heine
threw himself in the path of the
sphere, made a great stop and re-
covered in time for force play on
Judge.
An unusual double play was exc
cuted by the Nationals in the second
session. With Snyder on first base,
Groh rolled to Harris. Snyder
eluded Bucky on the path, but the
latter's throw to Judge got Groh.
Then Judge forced Snyder back
toward first with heave to Peck,
and finally got the ball to tag out
the runner.
In the seventh inning Ruel made
great peg to Peck to kill off
Youngs steal as Terry famed. He
also made a good throw to Harris to
get Jackson as Snyder whitfield in
the eighth, but Bucky was charged
with an error for dropping the bali.
