New Sunday Baseball

Washington is to have a new
type of Sunday baseball a
week from next Sunday when
Jack Russell. Baltimore pro-
moter, brings two colored teams
to Clark Griffith Stadium. Rus
sell was in Washington yester'
day completing arrangements
with the local club owner, the
two of them figuring that on
the Sundays the Griffmen are
on the road, there should be
enough local interest in col
ored professional baseball TO
make things interesting at the
Washington ball park.
Russell is bringing for his
first presentation the famous
Baltimore Black Sox and the
Hilldales of Darby, Pa. These
teams played doubleheader at
Black Sox Park day before
yesterday, the Sox winning the
opener by 81 and the Hill
dales the nightcap by 10-7.
These are the same teams
and belong to the same league
which use Yankee Stadium, New
York, when the Giants are
home and the Polo Grounds
when the Yankees are at home.
The big league parks are used
in every other major league
town they perform. but in
Baltimore they have their own
park. Big crowds watch the
games in New York and Pitts
burgh, the attendance being
made up in about equal proper
tions of the white and colored
race.

YANKS To LEAVE
COOKE HOME

NEW YORK. May 5.-Dusty
Cooke. star outfielder of the New
York Yankees, will remain here
when his club makes its first
Western trip. Because of an in
Jury to his shoulder, suffered two
weeks ago in washington.
At first the ailment was dag
nosed as a displacement of the
collar bone. But re-examination
revealed that the shoulder had
been seriously affected.
A plaster cast was placed on
the injured shoulder to hold it
in place. But it worked loose
and another cast will be neces-
SarY.

Shires, according to report,

He has learned to hold his
tongue and his private 1ife is
said to be nothing like so wild
as it once was.
Too. he was playing great
baseball with the Brewers. up
to the time of a slight injury a
couple of days ago, hitting
the ball with vehemence and
playing a great fielding game.
Thoroughly chastened since
every major league club waived

another chance in big COM

be back with the majors and
there is some indication at the
moment his words may come

about one-third colored, these
teams should be good drawing

a magnet to the whites. The
experiment is to be tried. at

the proper attendance, will be

One of the stars Of the SoX
is John Beckwith, a giant third
baseman, who is the nearest
approach to Babe Ruth that
has been developed in colored
baseball. He frequently puts
the baI over the Sox park in
Baltimore. a distance of 437
feet. Last fall Beckwith hit
home run off Lefty Grove,
catching one of Lefty's fast
ones right on the nose and
smacking it out of the park.

Although the United States coast
guard cutter Northland had failed
to reach the point with a supply of
gasoline as planned, Lindbergh said
he had enough fuel for the 523-
mile flight to Nome.
The Northland was storm and
fog bound near Icy Capes, $50 miles
down the rugged coast line. Failure
of the ship to arrive was the ex-
PLANTATION given by the fliers' hosts
for the lack Of butter and fresh
foods, as well as gasoline.
Lindbergh said that on the flight
to Nome he might land in the sea
at the side of the Northland and
pick up a supply Of gasoline before
going on to Nome, but that if the
sea was choppy he would not at
tempt it.
Although the air was quite chilly
here and clouds frequently blotted
out the Arctic sun, which at this
season provides light almost twen-
ty-four hours a day, the weather
was not as bad as reported at
Nome.
