VESTS 1894 WIN
BIG LIFT TO POLO
Awakened Fans to Fact 1t
Is Sport, Not Diversion.
East Seeks Revenge.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

n TOT the least interesting
M phase of the preparations
" now afoot for the East
\ West polo match at
Meadow Brook this Summer is
the changed complexion of the
sport in this country.
The intersectional match at the
Onwentsia Club in connection with
the worlds fair at Chicago last year
accomplished something which those
closely associated with the game in
this country had been trying for years
to bring about-the awakening of the
public consciousness concerning polo.
That stirring series, won by the
West in a manner as easy as it was
unexpected, took polo from a class
diversion into the category of sports
that interest large numbers of persons
whether or not they ever have sat
horse-and hence made it finan-
cially as well as athletically sig
nificant.
So the coming East-West series on
the famous international field at
Westbury will involve no necessity of
whipping up public interest.

Cronin's Hit Timely.
TOR seven rounds Crowder and
II Bridges had great battle. with

TOR seven rounds Crowder and
Bridges had great battle, with
the former twice yielding a
home-run advantage. Myers single,
Kuhel's two-bagger and Manush's in
field retirement accounted for a first
inning Washington run. But the
Tigers evened in the second. Rogell
opened the session with a two-bagger.
Crowder frightened to strike out Coch-
rane and Greenberg. But single by
Owen sent Rogell home.
Myer tripled at the start of the
Nationals third, then watched Kuhel
fan and Manush foul out. Cronin,
though, slapped single to center
and the champs again were ahead
Not for long, though. With one out
in the Tiger sixth, Gehringer hit to
right for a base. Rogell followed
with a drive that bounded over Ku-
hers head. 1t was good for a double
and when Harris cuffed the ball
about. Gehringer tailed.
1t was in the eighth that the Ma
tionals triumphed. With Manush out
of the way, Cronin doubled high
against the left-field screen. Harris
rolled out, but Stone bounced a sim
gle over Bridges head to score the
boss. Travis singled Stone to Sec
ond. then Phillips rammed one to
center. Walker let the hit get away
from him, SO Travis followed Stone
across the plate.

Worry Slows Schultz.

VYYORRYING over the prospect
" of an addition to the Schultz
family in Belvidere, Ill, the
Washington center fielder fell off in
his play to some extent in Detroit so
Cronin yesterday decided to let the
player idle generally until the situa-
tion at home clears That according
to Schultz. should occur any day now.
The Nationals have been hitting at
q pleasing clip since they took to the
road, but in the main they are bank
ing on the improvement of their
Curving corps for success in this series
with the Browns. With the exception
of Thomas. who still Is nursing a side
made sore by being struck by batted
ball, all members of the Washington
hill detail at last look ready to give
fine accounts of themselves.
Manager Cronin became convinced
that the pitching problem which so
long was an extreme annoyance was
gone when Crowder finally came
through yesterday with his first good
chunk of chucking this season. Win
ner last year of "a games, the General
waited until the current season was
five weeks old before achieving his first
signal success this time. He had won
a game, but when working in a relief
role. And never before had he gone
more than three innings at time.

The Ross Chance.

TINE best chance Barney Ross
has against Jimmy McLarnin is
to keep crowding him and out
speeding him, as Sammy Mandell did
some years ago.
Mandell set slashing pace from the
start of the fight and never gave the
hard-hitting Irishman a chance to get
set.
Ross has the speed, the skill and the
youth to keep piling in at close quar-
ters, where he is at his best.
McLarnin likes 'em better when they
work at more open range, where he
can find an opening for either a left
or right. When this happens, there
is heavy trouble-for he can outhit
any welter the ring has known in many
years. Few fighters under 160 have
ever carried the damage he can throw
from right or left.
With Ross it is all a matter of
blocking or rushing these punches-a
case where the faster pace will mean
the better chance.

BY JOHN B. KELLER.

CT. LOUIS, May 23.-Now
~ that they are clicking like
regular champions. the
- Nationals are expecting
almost anything good to happen
to them here in st. LoIlis. And,
having copped their first two
series in the West. each by two
games to one, they arrived here
confident of making the best of
everything, too. in their sched-
uled trio of tussles with the
Browns.
The champs surely appear prepared
to make a much braver showing
against the Hornsby horde than they
did in Washir gton not so long ago
as they dropped three in row to it..
Their regular second baseman, Buddy
Myer, after a four day retirement due
to a spike wound has returned to &C
ton with lot of power in his punch.
They have three starting pitchers
Stewart, Weaver and Burke-primed

Same Old General.

TN TURNING back the Tigers in
Detroit yesterday, however. the
right-hander went the full route to
q 5-to-2 victory. In his third start of
the season he pitched with all the
smoothness and cunning that marked
his great work of last year and the
year before. And at the finish
Crowder looked fresh enough to have
carried along through several more
rounds.
He had his fast ball tipping through
in fine fashion. His curve, the little
he used it, had the Tiger batters
swinging wildly. The Tigers got to
him for II SafetieS, but it took five
of those for the production of their
tallies. And only one of the two runs
registered by the Tigers was earned.
It was an error by Harris on the sec
ond of two safeties that accounted
for the last Detroit score.
The Nationals got an extra kick
out of their victory in making Bridges
their victim for the second time this
season. This slender right-hander,
who once specialized in pitching one
hit games against the Washington
club, was given an 11-hit battering
this time. He was well beaten, too,
as four of the runs off him were of
the earned variety.

TIME Pittsburgh Pirates had
returned to the top of the
National League standing
- today and a major share
of the credit belonged to Ralph
Birkofer, young southpaw who
came up to the Buccaneers from
Toronto late last season.
While the veteran Larry French,
only other left-hander on the staff,
has been slow to round into form, Bir-
kofer has bloSsomed out as one Of the
leagues most effective elbowers. The
Pirates 1874 victory over the Philhes
yesterday gave the youngster his fifth
triumph against only on defeat. He
was raped rather freely, giving nine
hits before rain halted the contest at
the end of seven innings, but there
was no need TO bear down after Fred
dy Lindstrom's homer, with the bases
filled in the fifth, had given him a
1872 lead.
The victory sent the Bucs into the
lead by a few percentage points over
the Chicago Cubs, who blew 5-4 de-
cision TO Brooklyn in the twelfth,
when Augie Galan let a grounder go
through him. Hack Wilson's pinch
homer in the ninth paved the way for
the Dodger triumph.
The Dean family of st. Louis
brought the count up to 40 against
the Giants as the Cardinals batted out
a 7-to-4 victory behind the younger
member, Paul. Each of the brothers
has beaten the world champions twice.
The Cards got the winning runs in
the ninth, when Lefty ODoul failed
to hold Joe Medwick's fly when the
sacks were crammed and it went for
a triple.
