Runs ore Uneorned

Unable to hit in the clutch
and handicapped by their own
errors, st. Mary's Mouptaineers
suffered their third loss Of the
new season yesterday as they
fell before st. James of Fern
dale, Ga. The game, a Catholic
League clash, was played on the
st. Mary's diamond, the first
home game for the parochials.
Only three Of the games 10
runs was Of the earned variety,
errors playing a part in the
other seven. The locals big
chance at the plate came in
the last half Of the sixth when
a pair Of walks were showed
around to second and third by
Johnny Murphy's sacrifice. With
two on, one out and one run
needed TO tie, the top Of the
batting order came up. Catcher
Ken Trombley gained first on
fielder's choice, loading the
bases and was followed by Ken
Vernier and Palmer Hudson,
who were promptly retired,
along with the side, on a pair
of consecutive strike-outs.
BOOM IN ERRORS
st. James had opened the
scoring in their half of the first
when Outflclder Neil Mayrand
gained first on an error at sec

passed ball. Kenny Vernier's
perfect bunt however, put him
on first for st. Mary's in tho
second half of the first and he
made it home a few minutes
later on a pitchers error TO
deadlock the count. st. James
added a pair of runs in the
second, one on a third base
mans error on a throw home
and the other on the catcher's
~cmisS on third strike.

score at 3-3 in the third with

.'5thooIboy'
Leaves Campus
Of the Tigers
Joins Sullivan,
Walker with Brooks;
Room Now for Monders
BY WATSON SPOELSTRA

DETROIT, May / - up - II
won't seem like Briggs Stadium
without Schoolboy Rowe, but
the Detroit Tigers are having
such good luck with young play
ers they are gambling once
more.
The Tigers yesterday sold the
Schoolboy - 30-year old Lyn-
wood Thomas Rowe - to the
Brooklyn Dodgers of the Ma
tional League for an unannoul- =
ed amount Of cash but believed
TO be $4,000. The transaction
made room on Manager Del
Bakers pitching staff for a for
mer Iowa collegian, Rookie
Harold Manders, whom the Ii
gers suddenly discovered they
could farm out no more without
cutting him loose.
GREAT RECORD
The Schoolboy has a great
American League record of 1O5
victories and 81 defeats, well
above the clubs average in the
ten seasons he served it, yet the
records disclose no other league
team was willing to invest the
$500 waiver price to gamble on
his future. Waivers were asked
repeatedly on Rowe since the
l94l season and no one gave the
Schoolboy a tumble.
While he won 35 and lost 81
since coming back from two sea-
sons Of virtual inactivity be-
cause Of a lame arm, Rowe has
been primarily a control pitch
er to be used chiefly for spot
assignments. The Tigers admit
ted they no longer could depend
on him for regular assignments,
and he experienced particular
difficulty in pitching whole
games. Last year he finished
only four of the II games he
started, and ten days ago he
needed ninth inning help TO bea
the Chicago White .Sox for his
lone 1912 victory.
Sentimentally, the Schoolboy
will rank high in the esteem of
baseball fans as long
as the game is played. For
wasn't it the Schoolboy who
pitched the Tigers TO their first
pennant in 25 years in 1884?
Rowe, in his sophomore year in
the big show, won Is cOnsecu-
tive games that season to match
a highly priced league mound
record, and he wound up with "a
victories and eight defeats.
While he was oversize dowed
in the World Series by the
brothers, Dean, Dizzy and
Daffy, the Schoolboy was De
troit's prime baseball hero.
Moreover he was the seasons
most celebrated bridegroom
when he married his FL Dorado, |
Ark, sweetheart, Edna Mary
Skinner, after the World Series. |
Rowe never had another 20 /
victory season although he
nOtched 10 in 1885 and 1886. 7
Then arm trouble hit him. The
Schoolboy won only one game
in 1897 and the following year
ne went back to Beaumont of
The Texas League to start all
over again. He came back cour-
,geously but never again re-
gained the speed that once
brought him great success.
At Brooklyn he joins two ex-
Tigers, Billy Sullivan and Dixie
Walker, who went out of the
League under similar
circumstances. Who can tell,
maybe the Schoolbov will get
ut Of the 1912 World Series
Tough?
The sale of Rowe reduces the
7igers to the legal player limit

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Nay --

more like itself today as the
butcher, the BANKER and the
candleStick maker strcamcd in
t. this horse-minded Ohio River
city for the 68th running Of the
Kentucky Derby.
Although there was a decided
increase in the tempo Of arriving
trains. buses, airplanCS and au-
tomobjles, there were indications
that the crowd for tomorrow
$4,000 classic at Churchill
Downs probably would not come
up 10 those of pre-war derbies.
In lieu Of an official announce
mCnt attendance has been esti-
mated from 10000 TO 100000
i'm recent years.
WALKS STILL OPEN
Today it still was possible to
walk down either Walnut or
Fourth streets without being
forced TO take TO the street for
self protection. In other years
this focal point Of all early Derby
arrivals has been like rush hour
on the New York subway even
as long as 48 hours before the
big race.
Additional seats again have
been installed but no matter
what is done in that respect
there never is enough room for
all who want to see the event
that Col Matt VIM built up
from just another horse race in
to the country's greatest turf
spectacle.
POSSIBLE BETTING RECORD
Derby prices went into effect
throughout most Of the city to-
day but that made no difference
to the outlanders. Their pockets
were bullying with folding
money augering we'll for shat
tering the pari-mutucl record Of
81 O96,6l3 established in 1926.
Big question here is, who'll
win, and for the most part the
answers either were Mrs. Payne
Whitney's Power House entry
of Devil Diver and Shut Out,
Ben Whitakcr's Well-conditioned
Requested or the Texas combin-
alton Of Valdina Orphan and

years and even the bitterest New Deal
critics could find little to blame with his
personal activities.
Gen. Somervell was brought back to
Washington to clear up the mess that
had developed in the Army camp con-

this time a temporary brigadier general,
was assigned to the Quartermaster Corps
and placed in charge of the construction
division. He reorganized the building

Army and civilian officials and helped
revise the general supply system. A
year later he was appointed assistant

abolished in March, 1912, he was named
commanding general of the services of
supply, with the temporary rank Of
lieutenant general.
