(By the Associated press),

American league baseball battles provided the features on the second day Of the season although Way land Dean, youthful right handler sent to the rhillies by the Giants, al- lowed the Boston Nationals only four hits.
 The Red SoX and Yankees con- tinued their tremendous sluggng yesterday arl Boston but at the end the tables Of tho previous days three. hour tusslc had been reversed. At the same time the veteran Stan ley Coyeleskio, pitching for the Washington Senators, held in check the powerful Philadelphia Athletics US Walter Johnson had done on Tuesday.
 From the southern training camps had drifted reports that the Red SoH carried only two or three dependable hitters and tho Yankees's journey up the Atlantic coast, which saw l2 successive victories over the Brook yn Dodgers, had indicated that the once champions had returned to q hitting strength that would sweep all before 1t.
 But in the Red Sox the Yankees encountered worthy foes who fought them tooth and nail on the cold opening day only to fail at last by one run, l2 to 1. With the weather improved for baseball yesterday the Bostonians continued their vicious hitting and the Yankees could not match it. In the two days the Red Sox made t9 runs on 29 hits while the Yankes have made 9 runs on @6 hits. Yesterdays count was 10 ' in Boston's favor.
 Far different is the situation In Washington where for 24 innings tho Athletics have managed to score 8 single run and 12 safeties. Walter Johnson shut them out Tuesday, 1 10 0. in 15 innings and yesterday Coveleskie, whose strained back made him q failure in the last worlds series, permitted only six hits in nine.
 The Braves pitchers were pounded while Dean was giving his excellent demonstration at Philadelphia. The youngstcr gathered threcc safeties himself in a hitting spree that saw Wertz. Ryan and Graham of Boston in trouble. The score was 10 10 l,
 The Chicago Cubs made nine hits count for as many runs while the Cincnnati Reds could count only twice on l , safe blows. Carl Mays, veteran submarine ball artist, was knocked out of the box.
 At st. Louis the world champion Pirates turned on the Cardinals and gameI to 10 10 verdict with Kremer pitching eXcellently. Horns- by of the Cardinals, who had 8 per feet day at bat on Tuesday, was un- able 10 solve Kremcr,

(BY JOE WILLIAMSl

st, Petersburg, Fla, April 15.--As q group proposition the team of amateurs picked to defend the Walker cup against the British golfers across the worlds most re nowned water hazard in the spring is not half bad.
 No team that embraces such gifted wielders of the mashie ae Bobby Jones, George Non Elm, Francis Ouimet, Jess S"cctser, Jtsse Guilford Roland Mackenzie, Watts Gum and Bob Gardner can be dis missed with contomptuouS gesture.
 And yet there is another Alneri- can amateur who ought to be on the team and who isn't. His name is Freddie Lamprecht of Tuhane University and he holds, among other titles, tho national interCol- legtatc.
 English Pro Praises Lamprccht
 My authority for insisting Lam precht is deserving of position among the invaders comes from an Englishmau, an Englishman who knows both sides of his golang question. too.
 Archie Compston. the professional, now touring America with Massy, veteran Frenchman. will now ad- dress you on the subject:
 T consider young Lamprocht one of your best golfers, l consider him better than Watts Gum, the At lanta boy. Besides having all the necessary shots, Lamprech, has 8 fine fighting temperament and is astonishingly steady. l cant un- derstand why ho isn't on your Walker cup team,
 Mr. Compston. you will note, Is q gent who speaks his mind with out reservations. We recall both he and Massy earlier in the year had many nice things to say about Watts Gum, who gained fame by going to 1 the finals in the national amateur on the occasion Of his first appear ance in the event las tsummcr.
 Compston explains he still con siders Gum a formidable golfer but in his opinion Lamprecht (whom h. has only recently played is better one.
 The day Nassy and playec Gum he was hitting his irons lik' 8 master. The day we played Lamprecht he was hitting every thing like a. master That was tn difference between them"
 Whether Lamprecht is bette golfer than Gum is not particular, important, except for conversations purposes. We do think. however he ought 10 be on the Walker GU, tcam if for no other reason thai that he is the national intcrcolcgiat champion.
 He Whipped Strong Field
 It seems to us such d distinctio ought to automatically make th holder eligible. In most cases tn college champion is a real golfe who has won from a real field.
 A big percentage of the sta amateurs either are or have bee college golfers. AL Brookline seI eral ycans ago four of the last eigr survivors were active college mei Jones. Sweetser, KncPper and God choaux.
 Last year at Oakmont the meda' ist, Mackenzie was a freshman. an , Gum, the iinalist with Jones. was : sophomore.
