Pick-UpS From the SandIOtS
By Francis E. Stan

THAT a good catcher can play a
major part in the success of a
Sandlot team is proved in the
case of the Saks Clothiers. The
Saks club, whose collective caps were
thrown in the unlimited ring for the
first time this season, have been COM
ing along like house afire and their
record to date is a winning streak OF
Is games.
Al Geiger is the catcher in question.
Wlaile bouquets have been handed to one
player or another, Geiger has been
playing pang-up ball and as a result
his team boasts one of the most impress
sive records hung up this season-and
against strong teams, too!
Geiger is perhaps the only bespec-
tacled backstop in the city, but glasses
don't sceem to hurt his game. He can
catch with the best of them and has
one of the strongest throwing arms on
the Sandlots. Not only that, but Geiger
is the heavy artillery of the Saks. His
batting has pulled many a game out
of the fire and most of his drives have
been good for more than one base.
Speaking of bespectacled sandlotters-
Sanford Ross, former Central High cap
tain and pitching ace, is bearing the
brunt of the mound burden for Saks
this year along with Dick Mothershead
and is doing a great job of it, too!
Ross is undefeated this season.
Cy Hogarth, who starred with East
ern a few years back in base ball as
well as in basket ball, is rapidly de-
veloping into a frst-class receiver
While attending the Lincoln Park
School, Hogarth PLAYED the outfield but
this season he has held down the regu-

n 7 EW YORK, June "a (C.PA).-
M On the duel between Cleveland
and Philadelphia may hinge
the American League pennant
this year.
In 1929 Cleveland won games on
the Philadelphia grounds and lost s.
At Cleveland Philadelphia won 6 and
lost 5. That gave Philadelphia IA vic
tories to Z for the season.
This year the Cleveland club has not
won a game on the Philadelphia ground
and has lost seven to the champions
there. Another defeat in Philadelphia
and the Athletics will have tied their
record of 1929 against one of the very
good-looking teams of the American
League, which founders like a skate
coming out of the water the moment
it reaches the field of the Athletics.
Neither has Philadelphia won a game
on the Cleveland ground this year, so
there is a bit of stand-off in that
respect. Twice the Athletics have gone
overnight on Saturday to play the In
dians on Sunday in Cleveland and both
times the champions have been licked
good.
For some reason Cleveland teams
have had much Ill fortune in winning
games in Philadelphia from remote
times. In the '80s and early 90s when
the Cleveland team was in the National
League, it seldom visited Philadelphia
without meeting reverse of one kind
or another
Philadelphia now must go to Cleve-
land before Cleveland returns to Phila-
delphia and if the Indians can keep the
Athletics from winning on the Cleve-
land field and Washington keeps up its
pace, while the Yankees bluster away
and play fugue with their bats against
all pitchers, the AS may lose the lead
once more and before they know it
may lose it for good and all.
EarnShaw of the Athletics has pitched
three winning games against Cleveland,
Grove two, Walberg one and Mahaffey
one. Ferrell OF Cleveland has pitched
three winning games against Phila-
delphia, Hudlin one and Brown one.
Match the winning pitchers against the
winning pitchers and the championship
of the American League may hinge on
Earnshaw and Ferrell, Grove and Hud-
lin, with Brown, Walberg and Mahatfey
thrown in on the side.

encountered a tough foe yesterday in
Vermont Avenue and a result, was
lucky to get off with a tie score. A
victory today over the same team would
keep Grace in the running, provided
it comes through with win over Ver-
mont Thursday in yesterdays play-off.
The Government League was to open
its second half yesterday, but another
tie game only put things in stand
still.
Two old Sandlot veterans, Lefty
Kuhnert and Reese Hair of Navy Yard
and Interstate respectively, hooked up
in a mound duel and strange to say.
neither pitcher would give into the
other, and consequently the sun went
down with the score standing 4 to 4.
They're of today!
The Terminal League, which was
far from race for the first half hon.
ors, Pullman walking away with the
championship, promises to be a much
harder fight in the second half. Pull
man and Express, close rivals, will be
at it this afternoon.

in prize ring history pops into
~ the spotlight. His name is
Young Stribling the fighter
who should be the worlds heavyweight
champion with something to spare-and
yet isn't even close.
When Stribling stopped Won Porat in
round he was stopping a pretty good
man and dangerous hitter. Some time
ago, for example, Gagnon knocked out
Tuffy Crifflths the heavyweight who
was to be sent against Sharkey. Won
Porat later knocked out Gagnon. He
almost made Phil Scott jump out of
the ring in the first round of their
fight. 1t lakes something to stop Won
Jack Sharkey doesn't consider
Schmeling in the same class with Strib-
ling, either as a boxer or a hitter. Yet
Schmeling is champion and Stribling Us
still nowhere. Sharkey admitted that
Stribling hurt him badly more than
once at Miami and that he was one of
the hardest men to hit he had ever
faced. All Of which has gotten him no
where so far, for the simple reason that
on entirely too many occasions Stribling
has failed to show his stuff. All he has
ever needed was aggressiveness in big
teSt-but this is more than trifle when
it happens to be missing.
Stribling has had everything else. He
is one of the best of all the boxers He
is a good puncher with either hand. He
is fast, strong and young. He has had
mere experience than any two fighters
in the game today In fact, Strihling
has fought more ring battles than
Dempsey, Tunney and Sharkey COM
bined and he is still under IS, or in
that immediate neighborhood. But
something like Sharkey, he has failed
too often when the big spot blew
around His victory over Won Porat,
a one-round knockout, will undoubtedly
give him another chance. 1t remains
to be seen what he will do with this
chance, but the stuff is there to carry
him to the top by wide margin If he
will only use it.

IL understand why the strain of a
golf championship should be so heavy
Physically 1t isn't. 1t is the matter Of
trying to concentrate on every shot
played through four rounds
Take the case of Bobby Jones at the
eighth hole at Hoylake. His second
shot was about 20 yards from the green
1t was in the rough, but in no sense un-
playable. Ordinarily under the same
conditions he would be putting for his

mental lapse, where his concentration
failed to hold up, He even failed to
reach the green. His next shot was
almost as bad. Before he was through
he had taken five strokes to get down
from 20 yards away without any bunker
trouble.
The 20-handicap golfer under ordi-
nary conditions would howl murder If
he took five strokes to hole out from
just on the green. But almost anything
can happen in a championship, espe-
cially down the stretch. where nerves are
