PYLE WILL PROMOTE

LOS ANGELES, April 27-C. c.
Pyle. versatile promoter of profes.
sional sports, has announced a Los
Angeles-to-New York marathon foot
race, to be held in February, 1923,
with a $4,000 prize to the winner,
probably as much more in nine other
awards and with a worldwide entry
list
The marathon is expected to take
three months TO complete.
The $4,000 first money will be
posted by Pyle, but he expects the
additional nine prizes beginning with
$4,000 as a second-place award, to be
advanced by cities along the 3,000-mile
route.
No one Is barred from the mara
thon, and Pyle predicts an entry list
of more than hundred runners.
Hugo Quist, former manager of PaaVo
Nurmi, famous Finn distance runner.
has been commissioned to scour north
ern Europe for marathoners, while
another representative will be named
for southern Europe.
The Tarahumara Indians from the
Chihuhua Sierras of northern Mexico,
one of whom set a new worlds record
last week in winning the Lawrence
Kansas City race, have signed several
entries.
An Arab whose 90-mile run as a
messenger during the Riff uprising
inspired Pyle to hold the transconti-
mental race has been entered.
The runners will follow no schedule.
They can run when they like and rest
when they like, but each will have a
judge or a group of judges with them.
These will be supplied by the cities
passed through. Pyle estimated that
the winner would have to average 80
miles a day.

n YEW YORK, April 27.-There
was a possibility that Sam
NJ Rice would be in the Wash
1 ington lineup this afteHnoon
after q day of rest yesterday
when cold weather prevented a game
between Nationals and Yankees. But
only a possibility.
The veteran outflelder caught a
severe cold while in Washington
Sunday and since coming to this
town has been fearfully off condition.
The inclement weather OF yesterday
did not help Sam in the least and
there is no prospect that he will be
in any better shape before he has
the benefit of a spell of warmer
weather,
While Rice is out of action, if he
is. Sammie West, southpaw hitter
and thrower procured from the Bir-
mingham club at great expense, ac-
cording to Clark Griffith, will take
care of the rightfield position for
the Nationals. During the exhibit
tion games in Florida Sammie
showed mainly that he had a re-
markable throwing arm. That he
demonstrated when the Giants were
played in Sunday game at st. Angus
tine. On two occasions West made
wonderful throws to the plate, once
turning back a man and once with
a chance of getting runner had the
the catcher held the bali. During the
same engagement he also made sure
shot to third base after capturing
long fly, forcing an ambitious Giant
to dig back to the middle station.
Has Made But One Hit.
However. in games to date since
the championship season of the Amer
lean League has been under way,
West had not revealed any remark
able aptitude at bat. He has failed to
connect safely with the ball except
upon one occasion. Then only his fine
speed enabled him to be credited with
a hit.
That, of course, meant much to the
club. The only base hit chalked
against his name in the lineup came
in Mondays game here when he was
fast enough to beat TO first base

| had grounded. That bingle, though,
meant victory to the Nationals in the
opening of the series here.
Notwithstanding, Manager Stanley
Harris has great faith in West. He
believes this purchase from the Barons
will prove worth while adjunct.
According to the pilot Sammie is a
knowing outfielder. He has an intelli-
gent idea of the game in addition to
possessing strong arm and fair bat
ting ability. Regardless of Vests fail
ure to hit to date, Harris insists he
is a batter of parts. and that he will
show Washington fans that no money
was wasted in acquiring him.
But it is evident that West has not
produced. And, like Sammie, so have
Ollie Tucker and Nick Cullop not full
filled expectations. Cullop is the only
one of these three utility men sup
posed to have considerable batting
strength to have come through with
a really good hit, although his wallop
failed to bring victory to the Nation
ais, it was a much more clean-hit
drive that Nick made in Boston than
West made here. Tucker. who prob
ably is a much better batter than he
has shown so far has failed utterly to
produce in pinches.
Cut i'm Squad is Due.
SO far this inability of pinch batters
has not interferred particularly with
the success of the Nationals. In only
two of their engagements has the out
come of the game depended upon the
batting, strength of the reserves, but
there is reason to believe that Mana
ger Harris will not wait much longer
for this supposed clubbing talent to
show it's stuff. 1t is likely that this
material will be reduced within the
next few days. Harris already has
intimated that Joe Carroll. pitcher,
will be cut loose from the club soon,
and some Of these extra utility players
are apt to follow this hurler to the
minors.
This afternoon the Nationals are
jumping out of New York for Phila-
delphia, where three games are sched-
uled with the Mackmen. All they are
hoping for is better success than they
had with the ancients of Connie in
Washington not so long ago.

umpires agreed it had cut over a

TF Jesse Joseph Haines of Phillips
burg, Ohio. has not set record
for early season pitching effect
4 iveness so far, he has at least
come within hailing distance
of it.
The raw.boned twirler of the ST.
Louis Cardinals has won all three of
his starts, each against a different
team, and permitted the meager
production of 10 hits and a single run
off his delivery in 81 innings.
In his first game, April 13, he
blanked the Chicago Cubs with two
hits, to 0. Six days later he held
Cincinnati to five hits, one triple,
while his mates clubbed out a 81
decision. He came back Monday with
another artistic touch. holding the
slugging Pirates to three hits and
winning a spectacular 10 duel with
Ray Kremer, himself previously un-
defeated in three starts.
In these three skirmishes Haines
issued five bases on balls and struck
out IL.
Perhaps it was the heroic role he
played in the 1926 world series that
has inspired him to a new lease in
pitching life, for in seven years with
the Cardinals he seldom has shown
anything like the consistent bril-
lance of this Spring.
He won two games against the
Yankees in last Falls classic. The
first was a spectacular 40 shut-out in
which he personally clinched the de-
cision with a home run. He also
was officially credited with the final
victory,s although Grover Cleveland
Alexander saved the day by relieving
Haines and tanning Lazzeri with the

Like Kremer, Vance and others,
