Outsiders Hold Two Big Ten Marks;
Hornbostel i'm Final Chance at Both
BY WILLIAM WEEKES,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

HICAGO, May l4.-Charles
Hornbostel, Indiana's mid
dle-distance ace, will take
" his last crack at two rec
ords which have defied
the flying spikes of Big Ten stars
since before the World War when
he leads the Hoosiers in another
attempt to break Michigan's hold
on Western Conference track and
field honors at Northwestern Uni
verSity this week end.
Back in 1915. D. M Scott of Mis-
sissippi A. & M. hung up the half
mile record of l minute 53.2 sec
onds. Two years later Eddie Fall
of Oberlin established the mile
mark of minutes l5.4 seconds.
They are the Oldest entries in the
record book, and the only ones
held by non-conference stars.
Hornbostel. conference champion
in either or both events, indoors or
outdoors, for the last two years, has
bettered SCOTS time as we'll as
Falls, but has failed to do more
than threaten them In the cham
pionship meet. He is senior and
his last opportunity will come on
May 10 in Dyche Stadium.
The bespectacled Hoosier flyer
with Ivan Fuqua. great quarter
miller and sprinter, will bear the
burden of Indianas battle for her
first outdoor title. The help will
come from Steve Divich in the
pole vault. Wesley Busbee in the
shot-put and discus. Al kruchten,

er: Duke Hobbs. another middle
distance man. and Don Calde-
meyer in the hurdles.
AS usual. Michigan will lock to
Willis Ward, its tall Negro all
around star. for the bulk CT its
points. Unless he fails to recover
from a knee injury. Ward. who
won the l00-yard dash, high hur-
dies and high jump and landed
second in the broad jump last year,
will be expected to repeat.
On past performances. Wards
support will come from Neree Alix,
indoor two-mile champion; Tom

Dave HUM in the pole vault:
Monroe Hunt, a hurdler. and Jack

last YEAR,

Parmelee's appendix and mild
blizzard of minor injuries helped the
Giants down the ladder, but the real
trouble seems to lie in the pitching
and the interesting case Of John {.
Ryan. Last year John talked himself
into something approaching stardom.
This year he has been talked out of it.
It's hard to tell what kind Of ball
player he is, because talk has such a
strong influence on his game.
This Winter, after receiving public
credit for whipping the Giants into
their final winning spirit, Ryan found
himself assigned to the bench. Bill
Terry admitted that John would not
play if Jackson's legs rounded into
shape Base ball orators announced
simultaneously. in 48 States. that

BY JOHN B. KELLER.

THUS far this has been no

Cronin. His pitchers have
Il failed him generally. his
club has taken more beatings
than it deserved and Joe himself
has been in his worst slump
since he came up to the Ma
tionals. But he doeSn', intend
to step aside and let somebody
else take over the Shortheld job
for a time.
Despite the booing bv fans at
Griffith Stadium and tEeir out
spoken opinion that the club
might benefit by his absence
from the lineup, Cronin will
stick to his task and battle his
way back to the heights.
And that's the best thing in the
world for the Washington ball club.
Down as he has been, poor at bat and
slipshod afield, Cronin still is one of
the greatest money" players of the
game. There are few of his class.
Without him, the Nationals would in
deed be in a sad way.
Cronin has hit but .1S6 in this in

White Sox Not So Tough.

TN THE American League the West
ern clubs have been inspecting the
Atlantic seaboard with no very
satisfactory results Detroit and Chi
cago don't look as tough as they were
expected to. and Cleveland looks per-
haps a little tougher. The most in
eresting of the three clubs is Chicago,
because of the recent accession OF
Jimmy Dykes to the drivers seat
Before the season opened there was
strong school of thought, headed by
Louis Comiskey. which held that the
White Sox were going to be hard to
beat. Mr.. Comiskey was trif1e cha
grined when the Sox started running
in the other direction and bidding
frantically for place by the furnace.
He looked about him and his eye fell
on Lew Fonseca, the Portuguese
guide. In almost no time Lew was
a free agent.
The new manager is a nice guy
and a smart one, but there is just
chance that the troubles of the White
Sox has nothing to do with the

It's ike this Scattle's base ball

for foot ball.
Uncomfortable seats, bad plays on
the skinned diamond - and a poor

better was in sight for this year, but

Not ANNOYED hY ROOing.

"A IL the booing by the poor sports
~ among Capital fandom has done
nothing more than get Cronin's
Irish up. He is determined to fight his
way out of his slump on the field, not
on the bench. And there can be ad-
vanced no logical reason why a player
of his proven ability should step aside
for an understudy who hardly would
have a right to carry Cronin's glove.
Cronin is one of the greatest players
OF the modern game. Let Capital fan
dom bear with him while he is having
his troubles and it won't be long before
he makes the base ball followers here
realize, like those of other cities in the
circuit do. that he merits the highest
praise as base ball player.
Cronin surely was the prime factor
OF his clubs success yesterday as the
Tigers we're turned back in 7to-4
game, the first Of a series Of three that
will wind up the Nationals home
stand.
1t was Cronin who batted across the
Nationals first run of the fray. 1t was
Cronin who later batted across two
tallies, one of which proved necessary
for victory. And it was Cronin who
helded f1awlessly throughout the con-
test, handling several chances OF more
than average difficulty.

Of cash this Winter for George Earn
shaw and added him to their COL
lection of rare Philadelphia ivory.
So far George has pitched more or
less as he pitched for Connie Mack
in the last two years, though he seems
happier and more willing. He was
Mr.. Comiskey's only real investment
for 1884. At the same time the Bos-
ton Club. which finished seventh last
year. had invested itself right out OF
the second division. There was no
reason to expect the White SOX to
finish anywhere but seventh.
So the season of 1884 has demon
strated that the magnateS are as queer
as ever. that the American League
is strong in the East. and that the
National League is vice versa. The
weather continues warm, with show

SloaneS High Quest and Caval-

parting of the ways.
Back in their stalls at Belmont

in the Preakness at Pimlico in which
High Quest beat Cavalcade by the mar

started training for campaigns on two
separate fronts.
The future Of Cavalcade, galloping

jective. High Quest will be pointed for
the one and one-half miles of the $50

Whether the pair will meet again
later in the season depends upon how

/ TAKES 4. IN ROW
Three Homers With Bags
Loaded PunCtuate Day
in Big Leagues.
BY HUGH s. FULLERTON, JR.,
Associated Press sports Writer.

F11EN NOIlIIlG MACK SdlQ
M early this Spring that
w he thought his club
might go somewhere in
the American League this sea-
son if only a few of his young
pitchers came through in good
form, few if any of the Athletics
fans thought of Joe Cascarella
as one of those who might help
out.
As things have turned out. Joe. a
former Philadelphia sandlotter who
spent several seasons in the Interna-
tlonal League earning a reputation as
a good seven-inning pitcher. seems to
have become one Of the AS mound
mainstays. After beating the Yankees
twice in relief roles, he was promoted
to a post as starting pitcher, and has
won two more contests without loss.
He took the play from another
Philadelphia sandlot graduate yester-
day when the fans celebrated Alan
Strange day at Shibe Park. and Cas-
carella made it the occasion for a
9-to-3 Philadelphia victory.
The triumph gave the AS third
place in the tight race as Washing
ton bumped Detroit out Of a higher
berth by shelling Tommy Bridges
from the hill when he became wild
in the seventh and scoring six runs
to Win to 4. Philadelphia posi-
ton also was improved when the
Yankees slammed the second place
Cleveland club into submission. 8 TO 0.
as Lefty Gomez allowed only four
hits for his fifth straight victory.
Lou Gehrig hit his eighth homer with
the bases filled.
THE Red Sox slaughtered Chicago,
L, IA to 2. Bucky Walters two
homers, one with the bases full,
and one by Eddie Morgan, also with
the corners crammed, produced the
bulk Of the runs.
The National League standing pro-
duced an odd situation when the
Pittsburgh Pirates. a half game be-
hind Chicago according to one
method of reckoning. took the lead
by two percentage points. Each won
yesterday. The Pirates assaulted
Lefty Ed Brandt and the Boston
Braves for a 9-to-2 decision, while
the Cubs defeated the Giants, to 3.
on four-run rally started by Chuck
Kleins ninth Circuit blow of the year.
Pittsburgh, however. has played only
% games to Chicagos 25, TO gain the
higher percentage.
The St. Louis Cardinals blasted out
12-to-7 victory over Brooklyn. The
seventh-place Phillies had to go 10
innings to defeat the eighth-place
Reds, to 4, after Ethan Aliens hon.
er tied the score in the ninth.
