NOTES FROM BAER
 TRAINING CAMP

Atlantic City-The magic aura of Jack Dempsey still hovers over the historic training camp here which Dempsey used for both the Carpenter and the first Tunney fights, and at which Max Baer, the Livermore Larruper, is now train ing for his 15-round heavyweight battle with Max Schmeling at the Yankee Stadium on the night of June Sth.
 Dozens of Dempsey's old friends visit the camp daily in the hope of seeing the former champion, who is now promoting the bout, and spin yarns by the hour of the days when the Manassa Mauler worked out here. One of the daily visitors is Jeff Clarke. the old col ored heavy-and corking one, too--who used to be known as the Joplin Ghost.
 The Ghost trained Dempsey for several of his fights, notably the one with Jess Willard. He lives in Atlantic City now and has been trying to hook on in some capacity with Baer. though he Is now too old to act as sparring partner to the youthful and hard hitting Cal ifornian. Baer. a sentimental kid himself. will probably find some. thing for him to do, just to have him around.

VREELAND BATTLES
 NOERA TEAM 8-l

Jake vreeland had the high sign on Noera swatsmiths last night at Waterville Park and the Metal Works nine chalked up an to 1 victory in their debut in the Chase league. Billy Miller toed the rub- Der for the losers, but was hit hard and often.
 His first ball pitched, a fast straight one across the center of the plate, was to the liking of Bobby Greatorex who sent the sphere on long ride to the river beyond left field, finally stopping at third base. From then on the Noera's were completely outclassed and helpless at the offerings of big Jake.
 Red" McGrath had a very busy evening in centerfield for the losers and his spectacular fielding took Miller out of several tight places, the sorrell-topped flyhawk being credited with eight putouts.
 Tuesday evening at Fulton Park, Noera will endeavor to break into the win column at the expense of the Factory aggregation. Thurs day evening the Metal Workers and Rolling Mills are carded for action at Waterville, both games getting under way at 6:15 o'clock.

 OPPOSE N. H. COPS
Goat" Reilly, Joe Wall and Others to Repre- sent Locals in Elm City Tilt Sunday
Special to the Democrat)

New Haven, May 12.--Resump- ton of a rivalry that had its inception in Waterbury last sea- son when the New Haven Cops played the Washington Hills to tic scores in two twilight games will be taken up at Donovan field on Sunday afternoon when the Cops make their second appearance at the Savin Rock ball park. In the games last year both contests were called with the teams deadlocked at three all.
 The Cops are anxious to gain the verdict over the Hills for two reasons, most important of which is the idea to get back into the winning stride. The two setbacks at the hands of the Savitt Gems did not set any too we'll with the Coppers but they realize they were pitted against what looks to be the outstanding semi-pro club of the state.
 Manager McSherry is dickering for the services of prominent Eastern Leaguer for hurling duty on Sunday and will also have Coke Woodman on hand.
 Manager Unex Capuano of the Hills will not send his regular team to the Elm City, but will send Joe Wall, Goat" Reilly and sev- eral others to meet the Cops. They will represent the Hills sec- ond team

In baseball bibliogfaphy suck or for e left hand is a ball team that can't take it from a southpaw. Pittsburg was left-handed out ot the pennant last year. It has been a quaint old Washington custom for years to play dead whenever guy who threw from the wrong side approached the mound.
 But Joe says no-and that's US all over now. The trade with she Browns that brought Fred Schulte ---Ss5,0O0 Milwaukee mauler-to the Senators has removed the oml- nous shadow of a left arm that hung over the Capital City boys.
 Beat Gomez Twice
 .Iook atour marks this year" says Joe, who is just the same beaming boy as manager that ne was when he first broke in. Well the Yankees gave us Gomez: we bxeat him twice. We knocked him outof the box once.
 philadelphia gave us Freitas to hit against. Connie Mack figured twicethis year that Tony was the fellow who could beat us. we licked nm LW1Ce, tOO,
 "Walberg started against us. We got him out of there and Grove finished the game. Of course Grove was blamed for the defeat. And while Grove beat us twice this year we don't have to quit baseball be- cause Grove took a couple from us, do we? (No, you don't joe, my Friendly
 "Herb Pennock was sent in to stop us, and we beat him, accord ing to the box score, though there were a coupleof other pitchers in the box that day who didn't LOOK so hot against us either"
 In the first 17 games of the sea- son, the pitchers who beat Wash- ington were Cain of the As; An. drews of the Red Sox; Johnson Of the Red Sox; Grove of the As, twice, and Van Ateta Cleft hand- ed), of the Tanks. Three victories for rigllt-handers, and three for southpaws. The same ratio holds for Washington victories during that period-half of the games won were charged as losses against en- emy left-handers.
 
 Schulte Is Reason
 one of the big reasons, according to Cronin, is Fred Schulte, the fel- low for whose services Phil Ball is said to have paid $85,000 seven yeaFs ago. This quiet, workman like outfielder for six years la bored in the obscurity with which Browns uniform enshrouds man.
 Now Schulte, a right-handed hit ter, has blossomed into the bane of American league southpaws who moons enjoyment fooling the Sem were figuring to have an after ators-and he may be the key to the pennant door.
 And a sweet outfielder, too," says Cronin. "He has been doing a great job for us, and making it look easy. That $S5,000 price tag on Fred begins to look like pret- ty good value to me-"
 Tanks Were Easy
 Schulte started the season by hitting 400 in the first three weeks of the pennant march, march in which Washington figured largely by taking four out of five games from the Yankees. And, oh yes, about the Yankees:
 Its up to the western teams to stop them," says Joe. Chicago and Cleveland seem to me to be the clubs that will stand them off,"
