Harry Wright's famous Cincin-
natl Red Stockings of 1869 were the
first professional team. Annual SAL
aries ranged from $500 to 81 400.
A professional of today wouldn't
raise his eyebrows for such chicken
feed. Yet the Red Stockings
marched all over the U. S., played
all corners" and won 81 games with
out defeat. That record never has
been equaled.
The Shining game had been
adopted in 1857.
Called" strikes had been intro
duced in 1858. Called" balls were
announced in 1868. The idea was
to punish the pitcher for bad tosses.
In 1868, too, base runners, there
tofore allowed to go around on a
circuit near the bases, had to touch
them.
In 1864, the fair fly" game was
introduced. No longer was it DOS
sible to put batter out by catching
a bali on the bound.
In 1866, Robert Addy of Rockford
created a sensation by hitting the

MILDLY and Tar Heel
Stars Invited 10
Race Kansan
OldfieId and Davis
Might Push World
Record-HoIder

Glenn Cunningham, the worlds
most famous runner, will compete in
The Evening Star track and field
meet to be held May 80 in Byrd
Stadium. BY wire from Peabody,
Kans., Cunningham today accepted
an invitation to run a special mile
race that will climax a meet in
which will be settled the District A.
A. U. and the metropolitan WASH
ington public high school champion
ships.
There will be no title for Cunning
ham to seek, but the fastest miller in
history may be forced to turn on full
steam to win. Invitations to meet
him are on the way to Jim Davis of
the University of North Carolina,
who last Saturday won the Southern
Conference championship in 4 min
utes IA and 2-10 seconds, fast travel
ing in any company, and Barney
Oldfield of the Naval Academy, who
foots the mile in 4:16 or thereabout.
Cunningham holds the world record
of 4:404.
Rain May Be Help.
In any event, Washington track
fans will see in action for the first
time on local cinderpath one of the
truly great athletes of all time.
An i'll rain may have poured a
lot of good on The Star meet. Due
to lecture engagement Cunning
ham was unable to accept an in
vitation to run here on May 13,
when The Star games originally
were scheduled. They were post
poned until Memorial Day because
Of foul weather. Interest in the
meet zoomed when the word spread
that Cunningham would compete.
The mile special will be open to
metropolitan Washington runners
but with the likelihood that Mason
Chronister of Maryland and John
Corbett of Catholic University, the
only milers of note hereabouts, will
go for the District A. A. U. title
for which Cunningham is ineligible.
High School Meet Next.
In the meantime, the cinderpath
spotlight turns to the District in
terscholastic championships to be
run Thursday and Friday at Gen.
tral Stadium. This meet will de-
termine which of the city's schools.
if any, will challenge the supremacy
in the metropolitan area of Wash
ington-Lee of Arlington County,
Va, in The Star meet.
Washington-Lee, coached by John
Baker, the old George Washington

retained the team title in the Uni
versity of Maryland interscholastics
and last Saturday added the c Club

Show Horses of This Section
Prove They're Among Best
BY Atlantic City Wins

The success of Washington and
Virginia owned horses in last weeks
Atlantic City Horse Show upheld the
oft-expressed thought that equine
competition in and about the Capital
is as tough as any section in the
East, and that local and nearby
horses can hold their own with the
best.
Competing with the crack stables
from New York and New England,
these horses showed up extremely
we'll and in the face of great odds.
Jumping in ring packed almost as
hard as concrete they had trouble
at first hitting their true stride. but
once they did they began to beat
many of the countrys top-ranking
stars, and consistently.
Making their first attempt at At
lantic City the local combination of
Margaret Cotter and her great open
jumper Rocksie had trouble getting
into the important money and for
while it appeared they would be
shut out. However, with bad luck
finally vanishing they scored one of
the most important and dramatic
triumphs of the entire show.
Rocksie Beats Champion.
The occasion was the triple bar
event held on the last day. Jump
ing. against the mighty Bartender,
recognized as Americas best open
horse, and nine other p-notchers,
Rocksie was forced to jump off with
the champion and Question before
gaining the blue.
Miss Cotter, the only girl rider In
the class and who early had re-
ceived undeserved criticism for her
riding tactics, continued to employ
the same hustling methods to make
the grade. Her mount, often called
by competent judges as one of the
greatest natural jumpers ever to ap-
pear in show ring. committed only
one fault in twice going around the
four-jump course.
The first few days of the exhibition
Rocksie had ruined otherwise per-
feet rounds by refusing a tricky
"hog-back" for apparently no rea-
son. After a schooling or two, he
completely forgot his objection to the
obstacle and then began to show his
best form.
The Fort Myer team from across
the river also got off to slow start
before making it's presence keenly
felt. Trained to the minute for the
affair, the Army representatives held
up when many of the early winners
began to show the results of con-
tinuous jumping.
The feat of Rusty, ridden by Capt.
T. j. H. Trapnell, in twice winning
the touch and out classes, was espe-
cially notable, and somewhat sur

prising in view of his rather disap-
pointing efforts last winter and this
spring. In the Friday night victory
Rusty was the first of four Army
entries to be in the ribbons.
Clipped Wings Suffers Fall.
The same day Fort Myer tri-
umphed over several crack aggrega- :
tions when they took first place in
the hunt team class. The success
full trio, Dansou, ridden by Capt.
John Meade; Broomfield. ridden by
Capt. Kenneth Hoge, and Rusty. with
Capt. Trapnell up, had a perfect
score in this odd class, which was
judged only on performance.
Clipped Wings, veteran Army
mare which had scored many i'm
portant victories in past years at
the show, took mean fall midway
OF the meet which probably pre-
vented her from showing her true
worth. However, the 13-year-old
daughter of Short Grass, ridden by
1t. Col. A. w. Roffe, manager of
the team, did manage to be in the
ribbons on several occasions, though
she failed to win a blue.
U. S. Randle, prominent exhibitor
from Fairfax, Va, had sold several
OF his best horses shortly before the
show but nevertheless made a cred
liable showing. The Springsbury
Farm Stable of Mr.. and Mrs. George
P. Greenhalgh, Berryville, won nu-
merous ribbons early, but the hard
going of the ring proved to be their
undoing later. The Upperville out
fit of Mrs. John Hay Whitney also
upheld Virginia tradition by con-
sistently battling for top honors in
the hunter division, and with a COM
paratlvely small string.
All in all the show proved that
horses from this sector can COM
pete with the best the game has to
offer, even when luck is against
them. With better break here and
there they would have performed
even more successfully, which WASH t
necessary to prove their class.

Bose e-Runnine Still Good
For Wins, Corey Holds.

Il don't claim this is the ideal
system. It's just my own idea of
what a ball player ought to be. I
know a lot of people will say put too
much accent on base-running. May
be I do. I made a study of base
running, and it always interested me.
I think just as many games can be
won nowadays by heads-up work on
the bases as there ever could"
Most players who watched him at
his peak will tell you that Carey was
the best base-runner they ever saw,
better, in almost every way, than Ty
Cobb. Cobb had more natural speed
on foot than Carey and he had a
recklessness on the paths that was
just wild enough to damage the
morale of the opposing team. Work
ing without Cobb's speed and Cobb S
flair for busting up a ball game,
Carey got magnificent results.
1t may be unfair to the mighty
Tyrus to compare the two on written
records, for Cobb had to be seen to
be appreciated. But the records do
give you notion of Careys cold
efficiency and the thoroughness with
which he made a study" of base
running and of his enemies, the
pitchers and catchers.

Mary Cootes BeIin Stands Out
In Tennis Tourney Despite
Many High-CIoss Rivals

One match, her first here in two
years, has convinced those who seed
ed entrants in The Star City of
Washington Women's Tennis Tour
nament, now current at the Army
Navy Country Club, that they made
no mistake when they made Mary
Cootes Belin the No. l ranking con-
testant.
Despite the prevailing feeling that
this is Margo Lees start toward
higher things, despite the fact that
little Willie OSteen seems to be
playing better than ever, and not
withstanding the er-present threat
of classy Anne Ellis, Mrs. Belin
stands well above them all off what
she showed in her brief first-round
match.
With intentions of again touring
Europe and playing in France, Italy,
everywhere indeed, except at VIM
bledom where she yet hasn't re-
covered from her 10-minute rout
at the hands of Alice Marble last
year, the ex-champ apparently is
out for another big year in tennis.
She seems to have lost none of her
tremendous drive which once swept
all before her on local courts and
her court coverage appears as fault
less as ever.
Compliments Miss Lee.
She appears confident, too, that
she can win, although she comedies
big advantage to little Miss Lee.
That girls got us all beaten on
one thing-Stamina," Mrs. Belin was
saying today before her quarter-fn
match with Edith McCulloch. "She
can play all day and be as fresh at
the end as when she started. AS
for me, I'm ready to call it quits
after any three-setter."
Semi-f1nals in singles were to be
reached today, but because the four
seeded stars-Mrs. Belin, Miss Lee,
Miss O'Steen and Miss Ellis-who
should reach the next-to-last
bracket, are scheduled to partici-
pate in the Sears Cup try-outs at
Baltimore tomorrow, the semis will
not be played until Thursday.
Mrs. Belin was to have met Miss
Mccullough, the Districts eighth
ranking netwoman, and Miss Ellis
was to have played Edna Vest in
two quarter final matches this
morning, while Miss O'Steen, the
District and tournament second
ranking player, was to have met
Dorette Miller, ranked seventh, and
Miss Lee was to have played Jo-
hanna Zetlemeier, an unranked
player, this afternoon.
If form prevails Miss O'Steen and
Miss Lee will meet in one of the
semi-fnals Thursday, while Mrs.
Belin and Miss Ellis will face in the
other.
Only Minor Upsets.
With few exceptions dope ran
true to form yesterday. A minor
upset came after the longest and
hardest-fought match of the day
in which Johanna Zetlemeier out
lasted and rallied to whip Marga-
ret Graham, ranked tenth among
the city's woman players, by scores
of 3-6. 60, 1913. Another slight
form reversal came when Kay Ba-
ker, ranked twelfth, bowed to Sallie
Whipple, former champion of El
Paso, Tex, playing in her first
tournament, by scores of 6-3, S3.
Miss Whipple, however, was elimi-
mated shortly thereafter by Mrs.
Belin, 6-1, 6t3.

matical hope of tying for the title.

Championship teams of the 1865

the Atlantics of Brooklyn, the

leading clubs.
The rise of the pro player, and
his superiority over the amateur,

Mamakos Wins Fight
But Loses Ground
As D. {. Hope
BY LEWIS F. ATCHIsON.

Steve Mamakos. the Southwest
strongboy, has another pugilistic tri-
umph to his credit today as he goes
contentedly about his stencil-punch-
ing business, but neither Promoter
Joe Turner nor the National Boxing
Association are cheering about his
victory-nor should they be.
Briefly, Stevie didn't aid his cause
last night at Griffith Stadium, where
he outmuscled Ralph Zanelli in a
10-round waltz. And after watching
him stalk the visitor from Provi-
dence through those futile rounds
we're wondering how the N. B. A.
rates fighters, and how 1t ever con-
ceived the queer notion that Ma
makos is the sixth best welterweight
in the world.
Zannelli's weaving, bobbing head
was no target for slow-moving,
tardy- thinking Steve. He appeared
like gent dunking his head in a
pan of cold water, and his tactics
continually brought panied and puz-
zled expressions to Mamakos' usually
frozen pan. 1t was downright laugh
able as Mamakos wound up and
pitched an uppercut at Zanelli, who
became the vanishing American
when he saw the punch coming
and watched it go harmlessly by
from safe distance.
Zanelli took his batting practice
in the early innings, scraping his
knuckles on Mamakos' teeth with
rocketing overland rights and
sharp-breaking left hooks. After
that he caught while Steve took his
raps. Mamakos, however, didn't do
so well, but took two swings and
bunted. We could envision the
N. B. A. Ratings Comittee standing
on its seats and emitting lusty huz-
zahs as its No welter almost threw
an arm out of gear trying to land.
Zanelli, for the sake of the record
is an overpadded, light weight. He
came in at 1922 pounds, giving the
District boy almost 5 pounds advan-
tage in the weights.
If Mamakos is to be the saviour
OF boxing this summer they'll have
to employ stolid individuals, who
think similarly to Steve, and who
will play dead when hit with his
balloon-like punches and not bounce
back as Zanelli did.
In the preliminaries frankie Wills
outpointed Sammy Chivas in the
eight-round semi-final, Artie Lind
got up off the floor to win over
Buddy Thomas, Hunter Crostic won
the nod over Ell Brookman and Red
Osborne outpointed Bill Testa.
There will be no show next week
Turner is trying to assemble an all
star card for June and has sew
eral hot irons in the fire, but moth

Wagner Baseball S Best
On Corey's Dope Sheet
BY JOHN LARDNER,
Special Correspondent Of The Star

NEW YORK, May 25 (N-ANA0.-
Contemplating the baseball scene,
Max G.. Carnarius, greatest base
runner of all time, finds no ball play
er at large today who deserves what
MIR. Carnarius calls "a 100 per cent
rating"
Mr.. Carnarius, better known as
Max Carey. is hard on modern base
ball, but, to tell the truth, he is hard
on baseball all the way down the
line. In the entire history of the
game, he knows of only one player
who deserves a place in his private
top bracket, and that is, or was,
Honus Wagner.
II have a SYSTEM says Max,
where rate ball players-everyday
ball players, mean, not pitchers,-
by points. Five points is the perfect,
100 per cent score. 1 rate them on
three counts-hitting, fielding and
base-running. Of all the players I
ever knew or heard of, Honus Wag-
ner is the only one who gets top
score. I'd give him five for hitting,
five for fielding and five for base
running
