GAMES OF WEDNESDAY

the sixth tied the score of the Ath-
letic- Yankee game. The Macks fol-
lowed up their advantage and drove
Shocker from the mound in the
seventh with three runs. The final
score was to 5. Cochrane like
wise figured in four of the five
double plays with which the Ath-
letics cut down potential Yankee
runs.
AS the Yanks lost, the Detroit
Tigers defeated st. Louis, to 0,
and went into a tie for first place
Whitehill, ace of the Detroit hurting
staff, was a puzzle to the Browns
batters. Fothergill, second best
American League batter last season,
slammed a home run in the fifth,
driving in two runs ahead Of him.
After losing seven straight on the
road, the Brooklyn Robins opened
their home season with a 4 to 3
victory over the Boston Braves.
Bobby Barrett started it in the sixth
when he hit a homer.
The Cleveland Indians inau yurated
the Chicago White Sox revamped
ball park by defeating Ray Schalk's
team, to 4. The hurting of Hud-
lin, 20-year-old Oklahoma High
School student, who relieved Shaute,
stopped the Chicago batters.
The Chicago Cubs continued to
smash the air and lost to st. Louis,
to 2. Stellar fielding by the Chi
cago inf1elders prevented a worse
defeat. Only $4,000 saw the worlds
champions open their home season.

THE last of the eleven golf
III lessons written for this col
umn by local golf profession
ais appeared Wednesday. Time and
time again we have heard players
say they saw points in the lessons
that would remedy their faults.
Nearly 500 golfers played over the
South Grove course last Sunday, ac-
cording to a report filed at the park
board office by Harry Schopp.
Among the 500 was at least one
gloomy individual. Ed Hoffman,
who finds it no trick to shoot the
eighteen i'm the COS, made business
good for the ball retriever at the
lake hole. Seven drives took to the
water instead of the green on the
opposite bank.

Three years back, in the season of
1924, Vance was the sensation or
the National League. He won rs
games while losing only six. He
topped the league in strike-outs and
allowed an average Of only a trifie
better than two runs per game.

Homer by Florence

Florences home run over the high
right-field fence in the fourth inning
Wednesday represented the Indians
scoring for the day. They threatened
at other times, but failed to solve
linn in the pinches and nine locals
were left on base.
The Blues got a marker in the
fifth, a gift by the Tribe infield, and
tied the score. Two double play
chances were gummed UP when two
miscues were made.
When the eighth inning was
reached Schupp had allowed only
three hits and had struck out nine
batsmen. Then the explosion oc-
Cured. Voter made a bad throw on
Moore, first up in the eighth. Wamby
walked and Smith singled Moore
home and Wamby to second.
Florence went to sleep on Hauser's
roller in front of the plate and forced
Schupp to field it. The roller filled
the bases. Voter fumbled Picks
grounder and away went the ball
game. Instead of the side being re-
tired without a run, two runners
were in and the bases still filled.
Eleven Runs in One Inning
Schupp cracked under the strain
and before the big session ended
eleven Blues had crossed the plate.
Schupp was in the clubhouse and
Swetonic on the mound. Fifteen
visitors went to the plate in that
wild stanza. Voter had three errors
in the one inning.
Little Elmer, who led A. A. third
sackers in 1926, was terror stricken
over his miscues and the criticism
hurled from fans. Naturally. he
went to pieces. Not all rooters are
cold-hearted, however, and they are
pulling for the sturdy hot corner
guardian to find himself. He played
remarkable ball during the spring
training.
Furthermore, Voter is not the only
Indian who has cracked in tight
places.

TOUGH FOR MANAGER

P to date, Vance has again
ii failed to strike his gait. He
u was slow to round to form in
the spring and, like last year, has
conditioned slowly and to a poor get
away.
WHAT does the future hold for
Vance? Some Of the experts are in
clined to think that he has passed
the peak of his game. There are
others who believe he has four or
i've more good years in his system.
When any ball club has an out
standing star, the measure Of his
success carries a great influence in
the general play Of the rest Of the
team.
Last year Vance failed to pitch
up to his standard and the Brooklyn
club suffered, not only because he
was away below par but also due
to the shaken morale of the club
as a result of his inability to win
consistently.
