White Sox, stepped on the corns of
Cobb. The Sox won, to /, gaining
their runs on six safe blows.
Philadelphia conquest of the Red
Sox, to 5, in eleven innings, was fea-

Walberg. Ernie Vache of Boston hit
home run with two on the bases.
Three errors in the ninth gave the
Giants a 6to-5 verdict over the Braves
of Boston at the Polo Grounds, Dave
Bancroft of the visitors allowing the
winning run by missing a ground ball
with a double play in sight. Harris of
Boston had a perfect day at the bat,

Johnny Morrison pitched brillia ntly

denied reports Of a rift between
Kearns and himself, and said the two

on a 'fifty-fifty" basis.
Dempsey said he planned to visit
the New York State Athletic Commits
sion, which recently placed him on
the ineligible list in this State for fail

lenge of Harry Wills. He also said
he would see Promoter Tex Richard,

Griffman was holding the ball and
cantered to the block on Ruel's safety

Although the Yankees grouped a
pair of bingles off Johnson in both
the third and fourth, it was not until
the sixth that they edged into the
scoring column. Judge aided them
with a wild heave of Combs safe
roller, that put the latter on second,
from where he tailed on Meusel's
lusty double to left Johnson then
disposed of the next three, tanning
Shanks for the final. Barney was not
threatened thereafter.
Francis Wildness Is Costly.
Francis wildness was largely re-
sponsible for the quartet of tallies
amassed by the Mats in the sixth.
Ray wounded Harris in between
passes to McNeely and Rice and Earl

liner. Judge walked to fill the bases
and Harris tailed while Bluege was
forcing Judge. Ossie then swiped sec

MARANVILLE GIVEN
FINE TESTIMONIAL

PITTSBURGH, Pa, April "a
Walter J. Rabbit) Meanwhile. former
shortstop and second baseman for the
Pittsburgh Pirates, was given a rous-
ing testimonial last night by local base
ball enthusiasts, headed by Mayor Will
liam A. MaGee.
More than 800 gathered at down
town hotel to honor the former Pitts
burgh player, who went to the Chi
cago Nationals in a trade last Winter.
Among the speakers who praised
the diminutive player for his skill
and will to win" were Mayor MaGee,
George Gibson, former Pittsburgh
manager and catcher; Manager Bill
McKechnie of the local club. Manager
Bill Killifer of the Chicago Cubs,
Honus Wagner, idol of Pittsburgh fan
dom years ago, and CaptEarey of the
Pittsburgh team.
Meanwhile, in acknowledging the
tributes paid him, said he hoped to
get into the game again as soon as his
injured leg would permit.
He still uses crutches, but believes
he will be in shape by May 10. AS a
substantial indication of the esteem in
which he is held he was presented
with $500 Liberty bond.

Five of them have accepted eight
chances or more in d game since
the present season began, and at that
rate the third-basing of 1925 should
be the most colorful show that base
ball ever has seen, going back to the
days when Jerry Denny and. after him
Jimmy Collins, kings of the left side
of the diamond, We're so clever at
their jobs that fans were wont to
sit back of third base just to see them
perform.
Stock Busy at Outset.
Stock, playing third with Brooklyn,
led off this season with the first eight
chances accepted in a nine-inning
game. He did it against Philadelphia.
Then came Haney of Detroit, with
eight against Cleveland Traynor of
ttsburgh swung into line with eight
against Cincinnati. Kamm of the
White SoX went his rivals one better,
accepting nine chances in nine In
nings against st. Louis. Robertson
of the Browns accepted eight against
the White SoX.
Why is it that third basers should
break out with rash in this man
ner? Some will say Luck But it's
better bet that it is due to the fact
that third basemen never were better
able to play good base ball than this
present season, which sent so many
of them into the fight in tiptop con-
dition.
OF all the chaps who have repu-
tations as third basemen, none has

been very sorely afflicted SO far ex-
cept Heinie Groh of the Giants and

are not what they We're once. Nor
are his bones full of rubber as they
were. That condition is bound TO

Has Tough Assignment.
The third baseman hasn't so much
ground to cover as the second base
man, but he has to do a lot of quick
starting, and he must be able To
reach out on his right side, because
the fast ones that skim between his
barber poles and the foul line are the
torpedoes that scuttle many d ball
game.
The third bssemen still have some
stepping before they pass the old
records for accepted chances in a
nine-inning game. The top notch in
the National is 13 and more than
one has held it, including Arthur
Devlin when he was a Giant. The
American League record is Il, made
by Sammy Strang when he was play
ing with the White SoX.
But the way the third basemen
have started off in the first half hun
dred games, the chances are bright
of achieving almost anything before
the season is over. There are still
some twelve hundred games to go.

PRESIDENT is NEUTRAL
"ROOTER" AT OPENER

President Coolidge at the opener
here yesterday played the part of
a bipartisan fan. In the Yam
KEGS half of the lucky" seventh
the Chief Executive, tired of sit
ting, rose and stretched. The
Yankee fans were with him. while
the Nationals followers were at a
loss to see their chief standing.
Mrs. Coolidge explained the situa-
ton, but the President still stood.
He was one of the first on his feet,
however, when the Griffmen took
their turn at bat. and the Washing
ton fans approved with a whoop.
The President was not taking
much of a chance. as his home
club had safe lead and won cas-
lily behind the veteran Walter
Johnson.
