SHOW WAY

Two former stars In Washington
high school baseball circles have
evidenced the fact that they have
lost none of their ability. In fact.
they seem to have improved. Julie
Radice and Benny April are the
local lads who led the Southern
Conference in hitting and runs
scored. respectively.
Playing second base for Mary
land throughout the season, Radice
banged out is hits in 81 time ct
bat for a tidy average of .432.
Radice led his nearest rival, Wood
worth, of Carolina State, by So
points. The latter, however, played
in one game more than Julie and
got the greater number OF safe
ties. 10 in AZ trips to ;he plate.
Radice also got the most doubles
during the season. four, and was a
big factor in aiding the Old Liners
to their four victories.
Benny April. who caught >
every game for Virginia, crossed
the plate Is times, which gave
him a two-run margin over
Woodwork in runs scored. April
collected Is hits for II total bases
and his stick average was .37l.
Burton Mccain, another CID
Liner who also got his baseball
start in Washington high school
circles, came through with a 1874
batting average. McGann caught
most of the games for the Old
Liners and also played center field
occasionally.

FEW HOWL
At JUMPS
RULINGS
By Babe Ruth

When we were in Cleveland
the boys were still talking
about the riot scene they
staged there a few days before
you know the one | mean,
when Red Ormsby was socked
with a pop bottle. That's
serious business and | guess
fans in Cleveland realize it
now. Riots like that hurt base
ball more than all the gamb-
ling and all the rough stuff
that ever was staged.
The funny part of it is that nine
times out of 10 there's no reason
for the riot at all. You know the
average fan gets all hot and
bothered about umpire decisions
lot of times when there's no reason
for it. Now ami then Of course
the players on the field make a
real kick on a decision but lot of
times when fans see players talk
ing to an umpire and figure that
there's a big squawk being made,
they're all wrong.
/ always think of a thing that
happened to me at the stadium one
day. We were playing a tough
game with the Detroit Tigers.
Whitehill was pitching for them
and the game was one that meant
a lot. All the fans-and there were
a gang of them in the stands
were pulling for us, and bowling
their heads off at Clarence Row
land who was working back Of the
plate.

PIRATES MOVE
At DIZZY PACE
By Les Conklin

NEW YORK, May 29.--Memorial
Day, a milestone serving to separate
the sheep from the goats in the
pennant races. finds the Pittsburgh
Pirates in undisputed possession of
first place in the National League
the same Pirates who were found
ering around in sixth place on May
4. Since then they have won Is
out of "a games and have not lost
series-a vest-pocket edition of
the feat of the Boston Braves In
squirting from last to first place
in 1914.
And the present Boston club,
which was setting the pace when
the Pirates were sixth, is only one
notch above the cellar today. They
are reversing the record Of the 1914
team, having lost their last IL

This all may be true. and. doubt
less, 1t is. but what effect Is the
wind going to have upon it? 1t is
quite certain that the new ball is
not going to make the poorer player
hit straighter?
The number Of those in the duffer
class who are able to hit straight
with the present ball are very few.
Therefore. there is no escaping the
fact that their number is not going
to increase with the introduction Of
the lighter ball.
1t is also true that those who
hook or slice land how many do
not?) will not have their numbers
decreased. They will continue to
hook and slice, and the big differ
ence, as I see it. is that their hooks
and slices will be very much more
pronounced. The wind. no matter
hoy gentle. is certain to accentuate
the curving career of the new ball.
believe also that the new ball
will spread the fatal disease Of
pressing. Having been able to OBJ
tain fairly long distances with the
old ball, the golfer is going to try
and get more than he should out OF
the new one.

One big guy who was sitting
alongside our dugout rose to his
feet and slapped me on the back.
That's the boy Babe he yelled.

Every one knew it, except the
fans who were so hot and bothered.
And as a matter of fact hadn't
suuawked at all. What had said
was:
Holy Mackeral, Clarence, did you
see that one break? Where did that
guy get a hook like that? He never
showed me that one before?"

Tony. Always squawking. You're

They kept after Tony all after
noon, too, because they thought ne
had kicked on a decision.
AS a matter of fact what hap
pened was that Tony turned to
Tommy and commented on the fac:
that he couldn't seem to make that
pivot properly and hit the bag.
You're coming In too fast"
Tommy told him. "You get up so
much speed getting over that you're

1t seemed to me that the action Of
the u. S.. g. A. had a chilling
effect upon the golfing populace Of
Great Britain, where there had
been a decided opposition to any
change from the prevailing 1.62 ball.
1t was only recently that the Royal
and Ancient Society OF st. Andrews,
acquiescent no doubt to popular
opinion, determined not to effect a
change In the golf ball at this time.
The decision was hailed with delight
everywhere, although there was a
small minority that favored ball
less poppy than the present one.
II will be interesting now to
see what the reaction of st.
Andrews Is to the decision Of
the u. s. g. A. IL is not the
first time that the American
= sOIOns have voted to go 1t alone.
1t was not long since that the
word of st. Andrews was golf law
the whole world over. but now. since
America has established unques.
toned supremacy 1t seems to me
that the British will soon adopt the
ball of the new standard.
There are a great many thousands
of English balls sold on the Ameri.
can market and. If st. Andrews
adneres to it's determination not to
vote a change these manufacturers
will find themselves without any
American export sale or else they
will have to expand their business
for the making of balls Of different
dimensions.
However. the public IL not in
terested in the technical side Of the
question. What it wants to know
is whether the new ball is going to
make the game more difficult.
