ST. LOUIS. Mo-, Aug. 81.
Buddy Myer was tumbled out of
the lead for the American League
batting crown, but he is far from
beaten in the fight. UndiSturbed
by the rather sorry showing Of
the team on this trip, Myer has
shown the way as fighting cap
tainS should. He is hitting 1851
for the trip, which is a lot Of hit
making any way you care to
figure. The same pace carried
through to the end Of the season
will come pretty close to winning
the coveted championship for
him.
Those were great days in De-
troit when Myer went into the
batting lead. He had hit .538 in
Boston and followed this with
500 in Detroit. He slipped off
to 5 hits in IS times at bat in
Cleveland when shoulder to Shout
der with Joe VoSmik. In Chicago
he recovered and hit $50 and
so far in st. Louis he has clicked
for .444.
It is going to take a lot Of
base hits to keep Hank Greenberg
out of the lead this year. The
Tiger youth seems just about set
to take off, the gravy.
The st. Louis Cardinal chain
has lost its appeal for the youth
of st.. Louis. Times there wSs
when the young ball players a.
most played their hearts out when
they knew a Red Bird scout was
in the stands. But that is q
thing Of the past, they tell me
out here. The chief source Of
supply for the Cards comes from
other cities.
The boys around here contend
that they are signed to Card con-
tracts and then sent down the
river. Sometimes they are ship
ped or traded to leagues where
they really belong, but sometimes
they're kept in minor leagues
while other kids with no more
ability move to the majors with
other clubs. After all, they are
only % places open on the Cards.
who control at least 500 young
ball players. The kids have fig
ured the percentages for them
selves.
Sitting around in the lobby yes
terday the chat turned to smart
pitchers, and, Of course. the name
Of Ted Lyons was introduced in
the conversation.
Hes smarter than . fox"
said Jack Stone. Tn this last
series i went up there and he
threw me q fast ball for .
strike. Then he brought his
hand around so that / could see
the ball and the set Of his
hands. He had it ready for q
knuckle ball, and trying to hit
his knuckler Is like fighting
butterflies.
II just decided to let the ball
90 by, and, that's just what he
figured I'd do. AS he was bring
ing the ball over he changed
his grip-I couldn't see that,
and he busted a fast one right
through the middle Of the
plate. He had me struck out
before I could do . thing about
It.
"And that" said Johnny

PHILADELPHIA, May 24.-Wal.
ter Johnson, Cleveland pilot, was
a stern and forceful leader today,
following trouble with two Of his
players yesterday here.
The players are Willie Kamm,
veteran third sacker, and Glen
Wyatt, vet catcher. johnson sent
Kamm back to Cleveland, "for the
good of the club" while he gave
Myatt his unconditional release.
johnson charges Kamm with
managing the club" behind his
back. Wyatt is alleged not to have
followed Johnson's rules regarding
the club.
Both Kamm and Myatt have
had flareups with johnson in the
past. This is the first open break
since 1884 when the news circu.
lated that there was diSsension in
the Tribe camp.

GOLF CHOICE

Harry G. Pitt, defending cham

reigning favorite as play moved
into the semifinal round in the
fourth annual Manor Club invi-
tation golf tournament today.
Pitt was clashing with S. Levi

posing the veteran John r. Miller,
Beaver Dam Country Club, in the
other semifinal match of the
championship flight.
After eliminating Miller 3. Stev-
inson, Columbia Country Club, S
and 4, in the morning round
yesterday, Pitt had a narrow es-
cape from the hands of DR.. Will
liam F. Hayes, unattached, in the
second round. Indeed, Pitt won
out on the nineteenth hole, thanks
to a spectacular iron shot after
pulling his drive.
Webb, sensation Of the tourna-
ment, blasted out the medalist,
Craig Mckee, of Indian Spring, S
and 4, IN the morning round
and then put away a clubmaSe,
Frank K. Roesch, 2 and i, in the

Weaver Released

Monte Weaver, right-handed
pitcher Of the Washington base

Albany club of the International

Waivers were asked on the
math teacher three days ago and,
since no major league club was
interested in him, Weaver was

O'Clock in what promises to be
the best game of the inter-high
series to date.
The track enthusiasts will be
at Central stadium at the same
hour to watch and nope that
Eastern or some other team can
gather enough points to dethrone
the star-studded Tech Tigh team
from the perch it has long held
in inter-high track events during
the last few years.
RooSevelt's game against East
ern is its last in the baseball Sc.
rieS. A victory will give it undis-
puted lead in the standings, but
not the championship, because
Eastern still has one more contest
ahead.
Play Western Next
That game is with Western next
week. The Lincoln Parkers are al.
most sure to win that one, since
the Georgetowners haven't shown
the best form in previous efforts.
BY winning, the series will end in
q deadlock-but, of course, all this
is based on a Roosevelt triumph
today.
The Rough Riders, for the first
time in several seasons, go into
battle with high hopes of winning.
They are enthusiastic because of
the presence Of Frank Baroni, who
is one Of the best pitchers the
series has seen in moons.
Baroni's last effort on the
mound was sensational to say the
least. He moved down Tech
with the greatest Of ease, strik.
ing out 81 while turning the
trick.
Different Today
It'll be a little different today,
however, as he'll be facing an
Eastern nine that is decidedly
marked for the championship.
Also he'll be pitching against
Joe Sullivan, Stocky southpaw,
who already has demonstrated
his proves as a pitcher in this
series and series Of the past.
Tech High, as is known by
almost every scholastic fan, is
the heavy choice to cop the
inter-high track meet. Eastern
is powerful in the mile and high
jump while Western has a pos.
sible point scorer in the javelin,
but when the 10 events are
ended it is practically a settled
fact that Tech will be ne
winner.
Even so, the meet should be a
good one with interest high and
competition keen UP to the final
event.

Indeed this fierce impulse to lead for
lorn hopes, to refuse to admit that any
shoestring catch is impossible until
muscle straining effort to accomplish it
has been made, is one very important

1t was the spirit which compelled

Ty Cobb the great player that he was
when men of perhaps equal speed and
