OF THE GRIFFS
By Frank Buck" O'NeiII

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 16.-The
heroic pitching of Gordon Dusty"
Rhodes, the boot in the Justly cele-
brated deal that sent him to
Philadelphia along with 100000
in exchange for Jimmy Foxx,
Roger Cramer and Eric McNair,
among others may alleviate the
condition Of affairs in Shibe Park.
The crowd has found someone to
cheer, and mob psychologists will
tell you that the genus homo must
have someone for whom he can
toss his hat in air and rend the
silence with shouts in the hero's
honor.
Rhodes presents a strange type
Of pitcher. He was with the yam
KEGS some years ago and might
be classified as q perennial prom
ise." He was expected to develop
into q starting pitcher with each
year, but when the test came he
always was found wanting that
certain something which winning
pitchers have and perennial prom
iseS lack.
Perhaps the strain of being with
teams that were expected to win
weighed heavily upon Rhodes.
Certain it is that he never won
ranking position with the Yankees,
and when sent to Boston by New
York, Rhodes again fell far short
of expectations.
It is entirely different with the
Athletics. No one expects them
to do q thing. Rhodes can go out
on the mound with his mind re-
lieved Of worries. II he wins, he's
a hero. If he loses, well, who ex-
poets the Athletics to beat Cleve-
land, Detroit or the Yankees?
Rhodes test might come right
here in st. Louis, where he would
be expected to win. Sounds all out
Of line, but nervous tension pro
duces strange reactions in ball
players as well as other humans.
There's a situation for the
American League to consider here
in st. Louis. The Browns once
more are playing to empty stands
and visiting teams are writing off
defects. It is said here that the
banks are operating the Browns.
If that be true the guardians Of
the funds are interested in the in
terest as much as in the principal
of the thing, they may make GER
tain abrupt demands, and what
will the American League do
then?

School hurlers are getting bet
ter with each week. At least it
would appear so, taking in a
couple Of yesterdays perform
anceS.
Kilmer BortZ, of woodrow Will
son High, must be mentioned
first. Kilmer, who is IS years
old, pitched a no-hit, no-run
game, while his team defeated
Friends, 8 to 0. Only one man
reached first, this in the first in
ming, when Friends lead-off man
walked.
Ted Kinsman, of Western
High, duplicated Bortz' effort,
beating Georgetown Tech, 10 to
0. But his game was not as
perfect as Bortz', as several men
got on base by walks or errors.
Completing the list Of note
worthy pitching efforts, Larry
Finn, Mount Rainier High, famed
IS, as Hyattsville was defeated,
'e2, in IA innings, while Paul
Shu, of George Washington High,
famed 20 as Eastern High was
tied, 3-3, in a thinning battle,
called on account of darkness.
The Mount Rainier-HyattSville

The race was expected to draw

Two weeks ago, Bold Venture.
the M. L. Schwartz colt, won the
Kentucky Derby in the midst Of
something that quantity resem-
bled q teamSterS' outing and

except hitting with paving blocks
in the clinches.
Today Bold Venture will at
tempt to prove that a good horse
can be a stake winner without
the acrobatics and nearly every
body in what is touted to be q
record crowd is prepared to con-
firm the idea in advance. The
weather is clear. The track Is
good. SO is the horse, and in the
field Of II colts and one gelding,
he seems to have nothing much to
beat. outside of that, everything
looks very disheartening for M. L.
Schwartz.
Brevity, which finished back
of the winner by a head in the
Derby, is not here. Neither is
Indian Broom nor Coldstream
which, respectively, ran third and
fourth. In fact, the only Derby
horse at Pimlico which can be
given a nominal chance today is
the unseated Granville, the colt
that tossed his rider right after
the break at Churchill Downs.
There is talk this morning Of
Granville, of E. r. Bradley's Bow

about every ball he has hit in the
last little while was hit hard.
Miles handled the fast ball
pitching of Newsom with the skill
of a veteran. NewSom incidentally
struck out II hitters, which is
pretty good hurting and may be
a record for the year.
Miles made four safe hits, two
to center and two to left, which
establishes the fact that he was
getting the wood on the ball.
Bolton is still in great pain,
despite the fact that no ribs were
broken. He is bruised black and
blue. He will not be able to
play ball for another week, in all
probability. That is, he should
not play ball for a week.
The leading teams all came by
the cudgels yesterday. The Red
Sox were walloped soundly by
the Tigers. The Cleveland In
dams bowed to the Athletics and
the Yankees tripped over the
White Sox.

Massachusetts Institute Of Tech
nology meet this afternoon in the
Adams Cup regatta on Charles
River basin.
The Penn eight, outweighed by
their opponents 10 pounds to the

favorite to take the Adams Cup
for the third consecutive year.
The opposition, If any, should

WeiQht Bout Claim

The last obstacle in the path
of a scheduled Gen-round boxing
feature bringing together Harry
Dublinsky and Phil FUR at Grit
fifth Stadium a week from Mon
day night was removed today
when Dublinsky waived a prior
demand that Fur make las
pounds at 2 o'clock.
Furr's protest regarding pound
age was based on the grounds
that Dublinsky is the toughest
opponent yet pitted against him
and that he needed his full
strength in order to cope with
the Chicago lad, who has defeat
ed Tony Canzoneri and boxed
Barney Ross to a draw.

Station KWK here in st. Louis.
The old "Sizzler's" features are
scanned and scored by years now,
but he has made a gallant recov-
cry from impending blindness and
is doing very well for himself.
It is said by those who pretend
to know the. facts that Frankie
Pytlak'S trouble is gastric ulcers,
which may terminate his athletic
career at anytime. In the mean
while Billy Sullivan, jr., son of
the former White Sox catcher is
doing a whale of a job behind
the bat. Billy couples inherent
ability with real baseball intel
ligence.
Lewis beat out q bunt that was
a bit of a freak. The ball hit on
foul ground. then bounced off a
clod of turf and rolled along the
foul line to trickle fair. All the
time no Brownie could get near
it, and Lewis sped to first and
safety.
Miles punched out four hits in
the course Of the afternoon. Stone
clipped a double and a single.
Reynolds had two singles.
Van Alta dug a pit for himself in
the eighth inning by throwing
Newsom's sacrifice bunt to second
too late to nip Miles. Later
Lewis grounded to Carey, whose
throw to Larry pulled the last
named off second. All hands safe,
the bags loaded, Travis at the bat.
Volta spot!
Captain Jim Gold, veteran scribe
Of the Mount City, suffers acute
and exquisite agony when the
Browns lose. He has lost 20 pounds
since the campaign started.
The Griffs put on a freak inning
in the seventh. They batted seven
men, the Browns made an error
and Miles made his third hit Of
the game. But they made only one
run.
That Newsom person had plenty
on the ball. He struck out II bat
tiers. He was far from perfect,
however, and allowed 5 runs and 8
hits. Against more rugged COM
petition he might have been out
of the box in the fourth inning
when the Browns got 3 runs.

Meet on Tap
Today
BY GARRETT WATERS


It's been a long time since the
interhigh baseball series was as
topsy-turvy as the 1885 edition.
Heretofore the schedule has
been a cut and dried affair with
Eastern gaining the monopoly
and holding to it to the very end.
But not this season. Already
the 1885 champs have been elm
mated from contention. This was
done when the Techmen upset
the Lincoln Parkers, 4 to 2, about
10 days ago, and Central du-
plicated the trick early this week,
with Arnold Heft, young south
paw, pitching a steady 7-to3
game. n
Of course this turn of events
has pushed other contenders
into the spotlight. Right now,
Western heads the list of teams
by virtue of its two victories in
as many games. Central Is not
far behind with it's two triumphS
in three contests. while Tech
well, the Trainers had a chance
for the title up until yesterday
when Roosevelt was met at the
Roosevelt Stadium.
Bowers Hurls Well
But the Riders, hitting effec-
lively behind the steady pitching
of Howard Bowers, midget" right
handler, walked off the field with
q gratifying, if not surprising II
to 4 victory.
The loss puts Tech out Of the
running and makes the race a
two-team affair between Western
and Central. The former has a
tough road ahead to capture the
championship since Eastern and
Tech must be met. Central, on
the other hand, has only Roose-
velt to engage. And on paper,
the Mt. Pleasantrs should defeat
the Riders very easily.
All of this will be worked out
within the next two weeks, and
the finish should be more than
interesting because of the pres
ence of new teams in the fight.
Roosevelt exhibited the winning
urge as early as the first inning
in that game yesterday. A run
was scored when Larry flanagan
squeezed Francis Coakley across
from third. In the third inning,
three runs definitely proved the
Riders were on the way to victory.
Bowers and Francis Coakley
singled to open the frame, and
by the time it was over, Robert
son and George Coakley hao
singled and Pitcher Wesley Snow,
of Tech, had helped the rally
along with a wild pitch.
Bowers hurled easily all the
way, easing up in the ninth be-
cause Of his big lead. It was
easily his best effort Of the sea-
son. Dick Myers Eand Tommy
Doonis were other Tech pitchers
besides Snow. The latter looked
best, but by the time he entered
the picture it was too late.
&C" Club Meet Today
A keen track meet, with all
sorts of close competition and
record-smashing is seen today
when the Central &c" Club stages
its eighteenth annual track and
field meet. The meet is listed at
the Central Stadium at 1880 p. m.
Tech High won the champion
ship last year. But the Trainers
expect a tough road, inasmuch as
several visiting teams promise
competition. Newport News High,
of Newport News, Va: Baltimore
City College, of Baltimore, and
Episcopal, Of Alexandria, may be
the opposition to take all the
punch out of the Techmen.
Twenty-three schools will vie.
The list is the largest for &C"
Club meets in several years. Thir.
teen events will be rum" with
notable trophies and cups at stake
for both individuals and teams.
