Thenet result of this misapprehension wasa gap in the unreserved section whichwould have heid three regiments of;nfantry and a brigade of artillery.

had any per«onal interview, conveTsa-on or correspondence with thc .iudce

but it will be faitly safe to wager theccntents of the Sub-Treasury againsta choice bunch of Rermuda onionsthat the Bombino will be batting inthii J place when the roll is called to-morrow. And by tbe same token, Mil¬ler Huggins went into executive ses-t-ion with himself yesterday and be¬tween ramdropa he doped out a neworder of appearance for his array ofsluggers. Rabe will bat third and BobMeusel will fire his shots from fifthposition.Taat isn't all the good new?t either.

Huggins eheerfu'.ly admitted thatBuilet .Toe" Rush is about ready to

jiimp ir.to the breach again, which is a

pleaaant bit of information for every-body except visiting teams. Bushpitchea every hall to thc accompani-ment of a resounding grunt, and whenhe went on the hospital list recently itv.as said by envious tongueg that itwas tho grunt that had broken down,not his pitching arm. Joe produced a

Kplit, index fmger for an alibl and gavehalf a dozen assorted grunts to dlsproveihe c.alumny. Both voice and fingerare now in pood shape, and the speedboy mny be ln there to-morow servingthem up to *he opposition.

Indiana Close To-dayIn the mean while there 1? ar.other

game to-day with the Ir.dians if theweather man removes the wet blanketfiom the diamond. 'Ihe battle-scarredTiib< has already suffercd two defeatshere and is determined lo resent anyCirtrer indignitien. With sluggers likoSpeaker, Jamieson and Mclnnis in thel:ne-up they can do a lot of man-sizedresenting when they put their mindsto it.The Indlans have by no meana ac-

qulesced ln the critlcal dictum thathas already counted them out of thepennant chase. "We have, just begunto fight." said Tris. "The bird whoquoted me last spring in Texas as con-ceriir.g defent was talking through theroof of a brown derby. TH do all myconcedlng next October." After this.erpr*inp teams can hardly claim thatthe Indiana went on the warpath with¬out giving fair warning.

That Wednesday ball game was reallywon by George Stallings, and therebyhangs a tale. On an off day recently.Murray ar.d McMillan vigited with theirformer pala on the Rochester team atJersey City. Murray begged his formerboss for a bat which Stallings pickedout and then begged back again on theground that he had inadvertently glvenup the best bludgeon in tho bag. The"Smiler" dusted off with his prize.however, .".nd that was the very batwith which Murray pounded out thei ict »ry.

Local Outdoor Tennis SeasonTo Be the Greatest in History'

By Fred HawthorneLawn tennis activity on the outdoor icourts begins to acqulre nio-

mentum in tho next few days, and this condition wil] continue to increaseweek after week, until the end of August, for the total of tournaments tobe played is greater this year than ever before in the history of the game.Right in our own back yard, so to*--.

speak, there will be two tourneys, one,the continuation of the Harlem TennisClub's men's 4)pen singles, at 135thStreet and Eighth Avenue, and theother the start of the North Side sin¬gles championship, on the clay courtsof the University Helghts Tennis Club,on (he banks of the Harlem River.This will be the twelfth annual sin¬

gles event at University Heights andthe sever.th year of play for the NorthSide title. The new Tribune ChallengeRowl will be in competition for thesecond time. the first trophy havingbeen won outright by Francis' T. Hun-ter. Elliott H. Binzen is the presentholder of the challenge bowl, and willbe on, hand to play through in defenseof his title. Entriea closed yesterday,with a majority of the local touma-ment stars entered, and play will com-mence at 2:30 o'cloek to-morrow after¬noon, and eontlnue at 9:80 a. m. on Sun¬day and at 8 p. ra. daily next week.

Down at Forest Hilla, the West SideTennis Club will entertain a notablehost of old-time stars of the courts onMonday afternoon and during tbe re-mainder of the week. Men whose namesand aeeds on the courts have been fa-motiP at. various times within the lasttwenty years will begin the first an¬nual veterana' Metropolitan champion¬ship rioubies,

Entire List Closes To-dayThe entry list cloaea this afternoonat S o clock, with Henry W. Wamer, 62Broadway, who has the management ofthe tournament in charge and is largelywsponsible for the fine and represent-ative entry already assured. Does itnot carry your mind back thirty yearsor more to see the names of men likeClarence Hobart, winner of the All-Comers at Nawport in 1891; Robert D." renn, national champion in 18931894, 1896 and 1*97; George L. Wrennuiiliam A. Larned, seven times cham-Pion; Fred H. Hoyey, title holder in1895; Hoicorr.be Ward, once singlesand six times national doubles cham¬pion; Reals C. Wright, former nationalsmglea and douhles champion, and oth¬ers of ihcir time, on the list of con-tenders?The tournament is restricted to menwho are forty y*ars of age or more.ar.d if anybody harbors the belLcf thatthese oldtimers are capable only of

a raild form of tennis, I urge suchdoubters to go down to Forest Hillsnext week and look the veberans over.

«na get curea. nny wiii start at 4o'cloek.

Henry W. Wilson, chairman of thetournament committee of the NewYork Athletic Club, has always been avaliant worker in th.e interesta of thegame, and he has asked nie to an-nounce thnt the annual club champion-ship tournamont, with handicapsingles nnd doubles scheduled, will be-pin on thp clay courts at Travers Irl-and to-morrow afternoon p.t 2 o'cloek.The draw will be made at the City

Club House thia eveninjr at 8 o'cloek,by which time all entrio* should bein tbe hands of Mr. Wilson, 58 WestFifty-ninth Street. There will bepriseB for winners and runners-up, aswell as to consolation winners andrunners-up, so it looks ns though al-most everybody ought to get a prize.Herbert L. Bowman is the presentsingles champion.

In connectlon with tho tournamentthere will be a lawn tennis dinner atTravers Islnnd to-morrow evening at7 o'cloek. Mr. Wilson has graciouslyinvited me to attend tho dinner andI regret pressure of tennis in five dif-ferent directions on Saturday will forceme to decline. Turn down an emptyglass, chairman.

Doubles Exhlbit on SundayOn Sunday, May 28. at 3 o'cloek in

:t'ne afternoon, Mr. Wilson has ar-

ranjrrd for an exhibition doubles matchnn ihe Travora Island courts, withWilliam T. Tildcn and Vincent Rich-ards opposing Zenzo Shimidzu, ofJapan, and Francis T. Hunter, nationalindoor champion.

A few weeks ago, while tom-ingthrough Connecticut, I stopped off atWindsor and watched tho lawn tennisteam of Loomis lnstitute in a matchagainst the Hartford Hij?h Schoo), andthe showing of all these boys convinced me that the junior standard ofplay ia rapidly on the rise. Thr Loomislads won by a i.otti! of six matehes to'¦.i and this in spite of the fact thatJohn F. W hit beck, the captain, ::; th"only member of last year's team left.B. \\ hitbeck. McCance, Carter andBridgman are mere novices, yet theywon, and by excellent tennis. JohnRoss and Benton Doming, two verypromising i'reshmen, are coming alongbeautifully and are looked upon tostrengthen the team materially nextseason.

Firpo's DefianceGive me, well, ea>y a year or two,And watch old Argantine come through.

They Pay I'm rate, but so were allWho startod aut to olimb the wall.

And rawness is no killing hlight.For one who's out to find the light,Whose system holds the hoxing brcedOf power, toughnesa, youth and apeed.

For I can give and take a tot,And that?* the essemen of the plot.

In regard to one Luis Angel Firpo, from the land where the ghostof tho plesiosaurus still haunts Patapcnian lakes, it is now mainly a matterof taking on the long grind that leads to boxing skill. Tho raw, crudematerial is there to po a long way under inteliigent guidance. Somesmart manager might turn Firpo into a young mint by having him boxabout three hours a day for a year under skillful coaching, permittinghim an occasional fight on the way up. There might easily be enoughraw material there to win a title if it is only mokled as it ahould be.

Outside of the above, which is 100 per cent necessary, there ia alwaysthe problem of co-ordination, instinct and the essential mental and mus-cular reactions under fire. If Firpo hnsn't the natural knack, the barriermay not be impa3sable, but it will be that much higher. But no matterwhat he has, he must first build upon the fundamentals which he nowlacks.

Full of JuiceWhat with the return of Babc Ruth, the Tunney-Greb meeting and the

Intercollegiates at Cambridge, May's closing program will be full ofjuice. These three events alone are enough to keep the pot boiling quitemerrily.

We look for the Tunney-Greb contest to be full of fire, where thefirmly established light-heavywelght champion of America can then beginto toas threatening gestures in the direction of Carpentier.

The Frenchman could stir up much greater interest in his returnmatch with Dempsey by taking on Greb or Tunney, where a decisivevictory would be no light boost for a larger heavyweight gate. For ifhe can't overpower Greb or Tunney.then why any Dempsey match?

"Batting for Cobb"(The Old Guard Reflects.)

First we saw Matty rise and fade,Now some one's "batting for Cobb";The sunset's now on the open glode,With darknesa near through tho twilight shade,As we hear, heart-struck, the announcement made,Tlutt some one's "batting for Cobb."

We never knew how the years could flyTill 8omut one "batted for Cobb";How quiekly youth and its day could die,Till some one "batted for Cobb."Why, it was only a breath agoThat we saw hirn erowncd in tlie morning's glow.Now the morning's gone and the sun is low,With some one "batting for Cobb."

The Lure"This. thing of developing champion*. and going out to break records is

a bad idea," comments K. L. H. "What we need is even more generaltraining and developmcnt, with no thought of championships or record-breakers."The main trouble with this idea is that it happens to be abnormalin regard to human ways.The lure of championship possibilities appeals even to those whoknow they will never have a chance to reach the top. Man looks to somegoal that he is trying to make, and with all championship contests removed tho big thrill that helps to make the game would also be cut outJho main idea of developrnent shouldn't be turned over to makinrchampions and record-breakers.There should be sport for aJl, not sport for the few, but to eliminateall championship competition is goin* just a bit too far.

"One hundred and seventy pounds is heavy enough.".Jack DempseyNot if the other fellow is a little better and twenty pounds heavier.Heilmann and Hornsby have had to take a lot of dust this sprin*where last April and May they romped away from the pack Hornsbyshould work his way out in front, but Heilmann will have a hard time repeating. Sisler is the lat! to be watched in the American League.John G. Anderson was playing the best golf of his career beforeleaving for the British championship, which starts on Monday and theSiwanoy entry may go quite a distance. Quite often the unheralded *omuch further than those accompanied with the flare of torches and theblare of bugles.

Howard Berry RcleasedTo Indianapolis Qub

PITTSBURGH, Pa., May 18..HowardBerry, extra utility infielder, was re-

leased to the Indianapolis club to-dayby the Giants and ho left to-night to

join the Hoosiers. Manager MeGrawtold Berry there v.-p.p. a possibility ofhis being recalled to Xew York inAugust. Berry- made a great name forhimself as an athlete while at theUniversity of Pennsylvania from 1915to 1918, being a star halfback on thefootball as well as taking part in base-hall and track athletics. He once wonhe peitathlon. He joined the Giantsin the spring of 1921.

9 The rain that for the eecond timein two days prevented the Giants andPirates from plnying robbed BabeAdams of the honor of pitching on hisfortieth birthday, which occurred to-day. Adams has been in professionalbaseball eighteen years, fourteen ofwhich have been spent in service withthe Pittsburgh club. Babe was bornMay 18. 1882, at Tipton, Ind. Hestarted pitching in 1904 with Parsons,Mo., landing with the Pirates in 1908.

Gleaned From the DiamondBy W. B. Hanna

You'll notice in the score of nearlyevery game Yale plays that CaptainAldrich at shortatop accepts a lot ofchances. An aetive lad this, goingafter everythlng and built for rangeand apoed. In football or baaeball hecorers ground-Three out of four in the first serieswith the White Sox is the best signyet for the Yankees. Last year it was

only by a violent wrench, mental andphysical, that they could break evenin a series-with these Chicago tor-mentors.

Spring training results nre the poor.est of indications of any team's po-tontiality. The Giants are out in front?um«?i.,l5UtUdid int»ifferently againstthe White Sox. The Y'ankees are upln the van, but were weak and wabblyagainat the Brooklyna.The Gianta-Coba series brought intoopposition two of Holy Cross's mostnoted alumni.Arnold ("Jigger") Statzwho is a much better ball playor thanwhen McGraw had him, and Rill("Rosy") Ryan, who haa found himselfthis year and is pitching big leagueball his college days gave promise oT.You can't tell anything about it, andtrying to tigure the whyfore Is a riskytaak. First class pitching feats are

more numerous than last year, yet bigseoring games are still frequent andhome runa flourish unabated. Eruditeexplanationa of why thia or that inbaseball is so are as aubatantial as» mirage.

Among the men whose helpful work totheir respeetive teams standa out almostdaily may be mentioned Frank BakerLll Blue, Joc Judge. Jo Sewell. GeorceSisler. Rogers Hornsby, Devitt Prattand Billy Southworth. "

The Clevelands are game as ever.but aren t pulhng out the close onesor coming from behind as often as intheir pennant days. SLipping a bit hereand there along the line?The Cleveland-Athletic aeries was

not without ii* modicum of revengefor Doc Johnston. He got at least aneven break in usefulne?s with StuffvMclnnis, the man who displaced him.and totteep the pace with Mclnnis isstepping smartly.Some big league seasons dont pro¬duce more than three triplo plays.This season already has turned upfour.

Triple plays are of two kinds. Oneis where everything is "set" for it.and the fielding side, with any kindof celerity, can't help making one. Theother is where a player for the battingside "hands" opponents a triple bvsimply running beedlessly or venture-BOinely into it. Such aa Chick Fewsterdid not so long ago. He made a trinlea cinch for the Red Sox by waiti'ngtoo long to make a dash for home.
