MANAGER Harris May Recall Catcher Bill Starr From Chatanoog
BOLTON NOT
SERIOUSLY
INJURED
By FRANK BUCK" O'NE1LL

BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL
ST. LOUIS. May 15.-Clift
Bolton escaped with nothing
more than severe bruises and a
general shaking up in the col
lision with Tony Piet at Comiskey
Park in Chicago yesterday.
Bolton, accompanied by Mike
Martin and Bucky Harris went
to st. Johns Hospital this morn
ing where, under the direction
of DR.. Robert F. Hyland, X-ray
photographs Of his right side
were taken.
Although no broken ribs were
disclosed, Bolton is so badly
shaken up and so badly bruised
that he will be out of action for
the next three or four days. He
still suffers considerably when
he attempts to walk or make any
fast move, but all things con.
Sidered, his escape was most
fortunate for himself and the
club.
May Recall Starr
Bucky Harris is consider
ing recalling Bill Starr, from Chat
tanooga. Bolton will be taken to
st. Johns Hospital today and ex.
amined by DR.. Robert F. Hyland,
one Of the most eminent ply
sicians in the Missouri Valley.
Bolton may be lost to the team
for more than week.
Bolton had to be aided from the
field, and after the game had to
be assisted on the train, where he
reclined in the Pullman drawing
room from Chicago to this city.
He attempted to sip some soup
but was unable to retain any food.
Upon arriving at the Hotel Kings
way, headquarters of the team in
the Mound City, Bolton was put
to bed by Mike Martin, trainer Of ,
the team. It was not thought
necessary to summon a physician
last night, although to this I'm
tutored observer, there seemed to
be every reason why such action
should have been taken.
Although no member Of the
GriffS was willing to make an
open charge of dirty baseball
against Piet, it was significant, all
hands declared, that this rough
house work should have occurred
on the very day that Chicago
newspaper carried a photograph
of Jake Powell and a news story
in which members of the White
Sox charged Jake with being
dirty" player.
Had Two Choices
Piet had q choice of two
methods to score. He might have
slid, in which event no one would
have been hurt, in all probability,
or he had the option of charging
in like q wild bull. He chose the
latter method and the Griffs may
be without their first string
catcher for an indefinite period.

leo is pretty certain to make Bold
Venture a 4-to-5 favorite.
Sharpest competition promises
to come from the stable Of James
FitzsimmonS, who has shipped
three Of his best to Pimlico: The
unlucky Granville, the distance
running Teufel and the speedy
Shark. It is hard to see the lat
ter going the PreakneSs distance.
Unless Jean Bart is taken back
and rated, that son Of Man o'War
and He Did and Shark should be
out there on the head-end from
the starting gate to far turn, US
ing up one another'S speed and
reserve.
# the PreakneSS Is at all like
the Kentucky Derby, 1t should
prove q speed-horses' race. Slow.
beginning stretch runners never
had q chance at Churchill Downs.
Teufel, for example, could not get
close to contention.
Memory Book and Brush Hook,
carrying the Greentree silks, both
lack high early speed. Trans
porter, too, is shy of the foot that
would enable him to stay close to
the pace.
Grand Slams chance would be
sharply enhanced by a muddy
track. But unless he gets such
going, it is hard to see how he
is to beat Hollyrood-off their
Pimlico futurity race, and asSum-
ing that Hollywood has returned
to a semblance Of his 1885 form.
He was only a shadow Of last
years Hollywood in his pre-Derby
races. ...
Granville looks the horse for
Bold Venture to beat. He has
shown to possess early speed and
staying powers. If any colt con-
quers Bold Venture, 1t is likely
to be Granville.
