One OF the seasons best high

be Centrals toughest outing this

won its only interhigh start. Central
beat Wilson, IL to 0. and Eastern

Although both teams have hit
heavily there is a possibility of a
hot pitching duel between Billy

low-hit games against series oppo-
nents.

Fisher recently set down Wilson

Marion Of Cardinals

Far Less Than Current

ST. LOUIS, April 2s-Senor Mike
Gonzales, coach Of the st. Louis
Cardinals, once made a classic COM
ment on a rookie: Good field, no
hit" and that succinct statement
popped in mind when the Cardinals
started the season with Beanpole
Martin Marion at shortstop.
The tall, agile recruit, an adept
fielder. had batted a none too robust
.249 at Rochester in 1898, and he
had an average of .272 with the In
ternational League team last year.
During spring training with the
Cardinals Marion seemed to be what
Rogers Hornsby calls a banjo hit

none of the satisfying smacks of bat

for the most part were grounders
through the infield or pop singles.
Gonzales would have been par

sadly, but the canny Cuban is a

he saw possibilities in Marion. Un-
der his tutelage, the rookie began

Political Race Strain
Slowed Him in Penn

PHILADELPHIA

PHILADELPHIA, April 29.-Of
all the reasons given for the dis
appointing 4::25.8 mile turned in by
Walter Mehl, Chuck Fenske and
Gene Venzke for the feature event
OF the Penn relays, that of Venzke
stood out today as unique.
VenZke, who finished third in
the race that brought boos instead
of cheers from a record breaking
crowd, blamed his showing on-of
all things-the strain of competing
In political race. His unsuccessful
campaign for nomination for seat
in the State Legislature in Pennsyl-
vania's primary election last Tues

Venzke also added that "the
trouble was, we all wanted to win
and time was not considered. I
wasn't going out there if I thought

Fenske, expected to set a new

Eight Straight
Show Dodgers
Rule in East
ComiIIi Homer Nips
Gionts; Tribe Trips
Tigers in 10th
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


A baseball whirlwind that was
stirred up in Brooklyn and has swept
ruthlessly through the East will
strike toward the Western clubs of
the National League today-and
whether 1t Is just a zephyr or an
honest-to-goodness cyclone should
be known in short order.
The Dodgers have won eight
straight games for the best winning
streak at the start of the season
any major league club has had since
1918, when the New York Giants
won their first nine.
That ought to be enough warning
to make the Western clubs get their
storm cellars ready. Some of the
ardent Brooklyn fans think it might
make the Westerners jump right in
and bar the door, but the truth is
Brooklyn never has been a good
road team.
Sometimes it hasn't been a good
team at home, either, but last year
when it finished third in its league
it lost AZ and won only 80 away
from home and its record for the
first trip around the Western circuit
was six (straight) lost, two won and
one tied.
Camilli's Homer Decides.
The Dodgers may be pennant
prospects and they are if they can
win or even break even against the
Western clubs. They certainly have
no opposition in the East.
They subdued the New York
Giants, So, yesterday before root

Dodgers, 1913.

three singles for a perfect day at
bat as the Cincinnati Reds tri-
umphed, 80. Altogether the Ma

Trosky Wins For Tribe.
The Boston Bees broke into the
win column at last with a 81
squeeze past the Phillies on a smart
seven-hit pitching performance by
Lefty Joe Sullivan.
The pace-making Clevelan
Indians of the American League
withstood challenge by the Detroit
Tigers and won, 11-9, in the 10th

nine pitchers seeing service and Bar
ney McCosky hitting two more home
runs for the Tigers, including one
with two on in the midst of six

score.
The Boston Red Sox were forced
II innings to nose out the Phila-
delphia Athletics, 5-4, after taking
a three-run lead in the first frame.
A home run by Jim Tabor was the
eventual payoff.

by Walt Judnich, in beating the
Chicago White Sox, 11-8.
