Trio Share Record

Three players. all members of the
same club, share the record of hav-
ing gone to bat twice in one inning
of a world series game. They are

series, may be called upon for
relief duty.


relief duty.
Aside from the presence of Bill
Barrett at second base, the White
Sox are offering their veteran line
up in opposition to the world
champions. Collins diamond career
is imperilled by a serious injury
TO his left hip, the ligaments being
torn out, and he is directing his
team from the bench. Barrett,
who has been tried at shortstop
without success, is filling in at
second, but is not anywhere near as
good a player as the peerless Col
Inns. His hitting, however, is right
dangerous and he may cause the
Washington hurlers some uneasy
moments.
There is no likelihood for the
Chicagoans to be treated gently
here until the pennant race is
cinohed beyond all argument.
Bucky Harris will send his best
men into the dany contests. He
is taking no unnecessary risks of
losing the prize at this late stage
of the campaign.
Only one new player is with the
White Sox. Johnny Kane, native
Chicagoan from the south side, is
a candidate for q place in the
infield. He has been used recently,
though Ike Davis may be back in
the shortfieId during the series
here. Kane was a star in the Texas
League this year and cost Charlie
Comiskey quite a bit.

Today the Detroit Tigers arc
due to make their final appear
ance of the year in Washington.
They have two engagements with
the Griffs, neither one of which
will be easy. Only Walter John
son and Stan COveleslsie are book
ed to oppose them. that's all.
A double victory for the Tigers
today will give them an even break
on the season with the Griffmen.
Washington has now won eleven
and lost nine of their tussles with
Cobb's gang. One victory for the
fighting Griffs today assures them
of the edge over the Tigers for the
year.
While the Griffmen were idling

dated their ball yard, the Mackmen
were humping into more trouble.
Ed Rommel hoisted his winning list
to twenty-one victories in the first
game Of Q doubleheader with the
White Sox, but the AS dropped the
second tilt to Ted Blankenship.
Losing games at this stage of the
running is almost irretrievable.

The Griffmen went ahead once
more in the American League pen

because of rain. To trim the
indians, Washington scored five
runs in the eighth inning when
they hoped on Stanley CoveIeskie,

Every time the Mackmen are de-
feated, one more necessary triumph
is cut off the Griffmens list. that
is, granting that the Champions
either win or loaf. In other words,
if rain were to blot out the rest of
the Griffmen's schedule and the
AS dropped their next ten games.
the Champions would repeat. OF
course, this is not going to happen.
The Griffs need some more victories
and are going out to get them.
The Pittsburgh Pirates, slam
ming the Robins twice in the same

more victories before sitting back
and looking pretty. If the Giants
win all their remaining fourteen
games the Pirates can cinch the

Tomorrow for their final visit of
the year. They have four games
left with the Griffs, one tomOr'
row, two on Saturday and one on
on Sunday.
OF the eighteen games played
between these teams this season,
the world champions have taken
ten. Therefore, an even break in
the coming four games will give
the Griffs an edge over the White
in
and drop three. the Sox will be
entitled TO an even break on the
seasons work, eleven victories
apiece. The champions mean to get
at least an even break and will do
their best to take three.
The White Sox. Tigers and
Browns are all tangled up in
fight for first division honors.
Only two of them can hope to land
inside the sacred number, unless
the Mackmen miraculously drop
back 10 fifth place. something not
to be expected Hence the scrap
among the three promises TO be
exciting right through to the close
OF the campaign.
Thanks to lengthy winning
streak at home, the Browns vaulted
from fifth TO third place. but the
Browns are not a good road club
and there is no assurance that
they will be able TO finish that
high.
The Tigers play good ball on the
road and every man Of them is

By Tho Associated Prsss
 Ithaca, N. r., April 23.--An op- timism long absent has returned to hover over the rowing prospects of Cornell this season.
 Throughout tho spring recess, while most of the students were en- toying the holidays at home, the uni- yersity's boatmen stirred the waters of Cayuga determined to restore a prestige that Cornell has tasted and enjoyed. The men were driven hard. They were compelled to de- yolop their legs when Coach I. A. (Pop) Lueder banished the motor bus that was wont to carry them from classroom to shell. And after strenuous practice they walked back to the campus.
 Luedor has reduced the squad to two varsity, one freshman and one mixed eights, the last comprising four varsity candidates and four freshmen. The "heavy varsity, stroked by Norman Stagg, contains four other members of last years varsity eight-Buckman. Anderson, Lange and Drew. The lighter var sity, stroked by Sutliffe, has another veteran. Russell.
 Cornell must be ready to face op- ponents within three weeks, the first test being scheduled with Harvard on the Charles river at Cambridge May 9. The following Saturday will find Cornell meeting Yale and Princeton on the Housatonic at Derby, Conn, May 23, the date for the spring regatta on Lake Cayuga, is still open.
 The crews as they took to the boats In recent practice sessions were seated as follows:
