Triumph Over Brilliant
Field at Boston,
BY the Associated Press.

~ OSTON, April 17-Although
- the famous Boston marathon
will have seven former win
~ ners in Mondays starting
pack at Hopkinton, as well as the
most impressive field in many years,
little Johnny Kelley of Arlington, the
1885 victor, has been conceded the
race by most of the contestants who
know the tortured course.
Such stars as Les Pawson of Paw
tucket, r. l., who set the 2::31: :01.6
record fT that 26 miles 385 yards
course in 1888; Clarence Demar, the
seven-times winner; Tarzan Brown,
last years leader, and Mel Porter, the
consistent New York runner, rate
Kelley as invincible and will be con-
tent to finish in the first 10.

Like Golfer, Saws Ben.

THE last time Ben stepped to the
plate, however, he took a stance
unlike any he's used this Spring. He
stood back of the plate, as of yore.
and when Nicketakis whipped across
an inside pitch Ben leaned into the
ball and banged 1t against the left
field barrier.

The eminent j. Francis Hogan,
dressing in front Of the next locker,
dipped in his oar. Il don't like to
tell fellow what I think he's doing
wrong" he said, "but after watching
Ben all Spring I knew that was the
trouble. And it was. Unless he got
a pretty good outside pitch he didn't
have chance Of getting the ball

Hogan Tipped Him Of.

IT WAS Shanty Hogan who helped
to put Chapman on the right track.
When Chapman was with the Yankees
few years ago Shanty used to do
the catching for the Boston Braves.
Both clubs trained In St. Petersburg.
Fla, and they battled In Grapefruit
League" competition. Shanty learned
to know Chapman as a dangerous
hitter. From his position behind the
bat the fat man could take many
notes on hitters.
When Chappie failed to get started
this Spring Hogan became interested.
He was not catching behind Chapman
now but he could watch closely and
he thought he detected fault. Ben
was standing too close TO the plate.
Any inside pitch on which he swung
made him beat the ball into the
ground. All Spring the opposing third
baseman and shortstops have been
throwing Ben out.
Yesterday when the Nationals went
collegiate" and met the George
towns at Griffith Stadium, Chapman
grounded out to third, was hit by a
pitched ball, and grounded out to
first base. The Hoya rooters who
formed most of the crowd of 1000
began to "ride" Chappie a little.

4 a made double against = COL
lege ball team.
1t sounds little screwy but Ben
Chapman, a big-league ball player
ready to start his ninth season in the
American League, genuinely is tickled.
In the sixth inning of the game In
which the Nationals met GEORGETOWN
University he walked to the plate and
took a stance.
Few observers noted anything un-
usual at first. Their first inkling of
anything out OF the ordinary happen
ing came when Chapman banged
pitch by George Nicketakis against
the left-held barrier. Two runs were
driven across and the score was made
to read: Washington, 7; George
town, 0. That's the way it stood, too,
when the game was over.
Two useless runs, to be sure, but
Chapman was elated I'm ready to
start the season now" he said later,
pulling of his uniform in the dressing
room. After going all Spring without
doing anything at bat I've finally
found the trouble. My stance has
been all wrong this year"

SKAGWAY TEAM
FLIES HERE TO
COP BALL WIN
McAlister Returns to Crow
as Invading Squad
Holds Early Lead

Backed UP by clever and pep
perry baseball club, Ward McAlister
had his big day with his former ball
mates of Juneau and Douglas yes
terday, setting back the aggregation
of Gastineau Channel League stars
with two runs, while he and the
others of the White Pass Athletic
Club team helped themselves to four
markers to hop back to the Lynn
Canal metropolis with well-earned
victory.
The Skagway nine arrived over
Juneau at 20 o'clock Sunday FORE
noon in the big White Pass Route
tri-motored Ford plane, and, after
circling over the city, settled down
at the PAA airport ready for their
face-off against that best in the
way of a ball club that Juneau could
provide, at 130 o'clock in the after
noon. With the win in their bag,
they left as they came, last evening,
after dropping in on the regular
Channel League contest between the
Moose and Douglas, to cheer good
bye to Juneau.
In Front Early
Skagway got out in front early,
gathering all their runs in the first
three innings, then, under the di-
rection of their colorful catcher and
manager, Louis Selmer, settled down
to hold their edge for the remainder
of the game.
Bud Foster, taking charge OF the
rubber for the Channel squad,
helped the invaders off to a flying
start by walking the first batter up,
then hitting three more batsmen to
force over a run. Skagway garnered
another count in the opening frame
when ground ball to short let a
runner in from third.
Another Threat
Skagway threatened again in the
second, getting a man to third on
a double and passed ball; but
failed to produce. Coming back
again in the third, however, the
White Pass team dubbed Fosters
offerings for two singles and a
double to collect their two other
runs; double play spelling two
more potential scores. BY the first
of the fourth, though Foster had
found his control and from then on
had the Skagway sluggers quite we'll
tanned, Franich's triple in the eighth
being the closest they again came to
scoring.
After fizzling a golden opportun-
ity to get in the ball game, in the
fourth stanza, when they loaded
the bases with none out. only to run
into a double play, the Channel
ties began to get to McAlister's hurl-
