Injury to Case Is Not Likely
To Block Race With Chapman,
N0w Nat Fans Main Interest

Dorsey Griffth, Catholic University
track coach, lend their enthusiastic
Endorsement to Cases chances OF
trimming Chapman, who has defeated
every challenger in recent years.
Case is the fastest ball player
I've ever seem praises Mr.. Griffith,
who is a reformed ball player OF some
seasons ago. Il think the only thing
that will beat him." continued the
G. U. coach, 'is his inexperience at
track work.
Griffith Praises the Comet.
by that I mean Case may strain
too hard, wear himself out in the first
so yards and have nothing left when
Chapman spurts at the finish. If Case
doesn't try too hard he should win.
I've seen Cobb, Archdeacon and the
rest of them and. naturally, being a
track man. look for speed in all
athletes. Case. in getting down to
first base, has them all beat"

self in the first so or 60 yards.
That time, while not startling, is
mute testimony to Cases heetness.
He has been running the distance in
full baseball uniform, not over hard
packed, smooth cinders in track shoes,
but over bumpy turf With proper
coaching he may have become one of
the Nations outstanding collegiate
sprinters. but he elected to cast his
lot with professional baseball and. for
Case at least, it uas~a happy choice.
Case Would Benefit Even in Defeat.
1t is possible the Comets training
under Hardell and Martin may make
him more valuable ball player, or
at least a speedier ball player. If the
coaching he has received in the past
two weeks has clipped slight fraction
from his previous time in travelling to
first base he may gain the edge on
S me OF those close decisions Thus.
If he loses to Chapman, he still may
have benefited from the race and the
training it has involved.
Meanwhile the Mats concentrated on
gearing their batting attack, with the
veteran Harry Kelley attempting to
salvage some measure of consolation
in the final of three-eame series
with Chicago. The White Sox dealt
the Mats their fifth defeat in the last
six games yesterday, 10, as Johnny
Whitehead tanned them with four
hits.
Whitehead, who was to be followed
today by Thornton Lee, yielded only
one scratch hit. slow roller to Short
