4 TITE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND. JULY . 2, 1923 oranpis ST TENNIS HOPEFUL Return of State Title Is De sire of Veterans. PLAYERS ARB PROMISING Walter A. Goss Thinks Wolfard and Kenneth Shith Have Good Chance at Coming Tourney. Twenty-three years ago General Walter A. Bethel was declared the first Oregon state tennis champion. Last year Bill Ingraham of Provi dence, R. I., won the title. Another champion will be crowned on the Irvington club courts next week, with the annual Oregon state cham pionship tennis tournament slated to begin Monday, Juiy ii. In the span of 23 years Oregon representatives have won the title but eight y times. It has been a great tas'k developing Oregon's youthful stars to a point where they can be depended upon to uphold the honors of the state. Since General Bethel won the title in 1899 the laurels have been carried away many times to California, several times to British Columbia and occa sionally to Puget sound. Gou Checks Invaders. Walter A. Goss stopped the rush of the invaders on three occasions and finally won the famous Fsk challenge cup. General Bethel re peated his feat of winning the championship once after his 1899 victory and Brant Wickersham held it one year. These were the old timers who flashed to the fore who must now be content to enter the veteran's' father-and-son events. In recent years two Oregon sons have defended the honors. Catlin Wolfard won the title once and Phil Neer once. When Neer won the British Co lumbia championship in 1919 the British Columbia people were forced to drop their old-time boast to the, effect that they always were able to keep British Columbia champion ships at home. Discussing the youngsters of whom great things are expected in Oregon, Walter A. Goss, sectional delegate of the United States Lawn Tennis association, said yesterday: "Some IB years ago we, here in Oregon, laid a very definite scheme whereby we might have some cham pions of our own and our fruit has ripened and grown to goodly pro portion. ' Wolfard Coming Champion. "It's rather tough luck to develop a national contender In Phil Neer and then find that he has almost outgrown our facilities. However, he is a iample of Oregon's youth whom we are very pleased to dis play, even though we find ourselves somewhat handicapped in putting up a proper defense against our "welcome invaders. "In Catlin Wolfard we have a very fine tennis player. He is a generalissimo to the last degree. His game is sound to the core and his only defect is one of tempera ment when he sometimes seems to be laboring under some sort of careless abandon which delays his getting some of the rough spots quickly ironed out. ' His form is beautiful and he is a safe and sure model for the beginner to follow. Kenneth Smith Next Hope. "Kenneth Smith is our next hope. Kenneth Smith Is etill in the mak ing, but what he has thus far com pleted is a mighty fine article. His big need is to build up his game in the forepart of the court. He is fast and a hard hitter with a good service. He sometimes is too close to the net, sometimes not close enough and is forced to half volley, which is nroof of his untenable po sition. "When Kenneth works out his problems in the territory near the net he will be Just about as good a tennis player as Oregon . has thus far brought forth. "Harry Gray and Rogers Mac Veagh may do us some good, but they are both essentially double Players and they have both worn out too many tennis shoes to learn any new tricks." Goss Jr. Father'!

Aged Master of. Snlkey Racers Trains Own Horses for ' Grand Clrcnit Events. CLEVELAND, July 1. Ed ("Pop") , Geers, the "grand old man of the harness turf," has reached North Randall from his Memphis training quarters to put on the finishing touches for the 1922 grand circuit campaign which begins at North Randall Jul 3. Age 71, Geers is the oldest driver on the circuit. Hale and hearty he also trains his own horses. "Pop" has virtually a new stable this year, all but two being trotters. Familiar to grand circuit fans are his Sanardo, Peter June and Utah. Peter June, with a mark of 2:04, is the leading trotter. Geers declared he expects to be seen on the grand circuit at least ten more years. The arrival of his stable brings the total horses now at Randall up to 470. The stables of Walter Cox, Lon McDonald and several other prominent drivers are still to come. Many of the famous reinsmen al ready are here, having arrived pre ceding the opening of the 1922 har ness season which was ushered in in the Greater Cleveland district with the teeeting at the North Ran dall half-mile track June 6. Among stables quartered hers now are those of Johnny Thomas, Charley Valentine, Dick McMahon, Fred Edman, Fred Egan, SepPalin, Ben Whitehead, Tommy Berry, Fred Guyette, Frank Phillips, Nat ' Ray, Harry Stokes, Marvin Childs, Will Squire, Will Rosemire and Will Caton. The latter two are handling the Pastime stable, Caton having recently returned from Russia, Golf Balls to Sell for a Dime. NEW YORK, July 1. A golf ball to sell for 10 cents has been put on the market, and is now being handled by a large chain store or ganization. It is produced by a" tire company, end on account of the low price it Is inferred that scrap rub ber is used. The wholesale . price is a a gross. Those who have used the new product say it is as lively as other makes and win stand rough n&naiing even better. THE PORTLAND TEAM, OF WHOM MANAGER TURNER EXPECT GREAT THINGS. Above Is Ralph Coleman, the Oregon Agricultural college pitching product, who earned his spars with the Beavers last year, carried out the prom ise when shown by his pitching at Tacoma this season, and recalled to bolster up the Beaver hurling staff.

Williams Takes Singles Championship by Defeat ing Wray Brown. PHILADELPHIA, July 1. Lucian E. Williams, Tale, won the singles championship and Phil Neer and Tames Davt'es, Leland Stanford, the doubles tHe of the Intercollegiate Lawn Tennis association at the Merion Cricket club today. This is the first time a Pacific coast team has ever won the doubles championship. Williams defeated Wray Brown. Washington university, St! Louis, 6-3, 6-1, 7-5. In the doubles Neer and Davies scored a- three-set vic tory over Williams and G. N. Wheel er, Yale, 8-6, 6-4, 6-3. Williams and Brown played a deep court game. Brown, who is an aggressive net game player, was forced to abandon this style because of the heavy condition of the court due to a rain storm, -which caused the postponement of the start of the match a half hour. The Yale man was much steadier than the Washington university athlete. Brown made a hard fight to stave, off defeat in the third set. With WiUiams leading in games, 4-1, Brown dropped th& back court style of play and by rushing to the net at opportune times won the next four gama. Williams, however, rallied and won the final thre games. The best tennis was provided ln the doubles. Neer and Davies gave beau tiful exhibitions of volleying and driving. The serving of Neer and the gen eral court play of Davies carried the Pacific coast players to the capital. Three times Davies slipped and fell on the wet court, only to halt the ball while on the ground and arise in time to earn a point fof his team. The first two sets were, bitterly contested, but i the third set Will iams, tired from his previous match in the singles, weakened. . ATHLETIC HEART SCOUTED No Such Thing, Says Coach, at University of Chicago. . Do athletes suffer from athletic heart? A. A. Stagg, athletic coach at the University of Chicago, says "therp is no' such thing." Some physicians say there is, but the coach says he never experienced one. "Red" Jackson, former football captain, who weighs 200 pounds and walks 12 miles for exercise, says: "When I was a boy I had heart disease and had to be carried up and down stairs. J got Into ath letics and now my heart la sound as can be." . But the insurance man Is certain there is an athletio heart. The physicians hired by the Insurance companies know an athletic heart when they listen to one, and they say one Is a bad risk. - . . i . JOCKEY JEERS AT EMPEROR French Rider Demands 10,000 Marks for- Winning Race. George Stern, -who rod Ramus to victory n tha French derby at Chantilly, smiled broadly as he pocketed a large bonus which the owner of Ramus, Marcel Boussao, handed him. "Brokers are mora generous than emperors," said Stern reminiscently. Former Envperor William of Ger many, so a story goes, sent a hurry call to Stern to ride his horse in the grand prix in Berlin a few years be fore the war. . Stern won the race for the emperor and the court majordomo afterwards handed the jockey 3000 marks. "Thanks, I'll give this to my valet," Stern' Is reported to have said, adding,. "As for me, I want 10, 000 marks." r - A long discussion ensued and the majordomo made several trips be BILL KLEPPER AND ACTING I tween his imDerhil master and the jockey " before the emperor finally accepted the rider's terms. "The emperor found this wrang ling very annoying," the majordomo volunteered as he handed over ten bills to the jockey. "Not half as much as I did," re torted Stern. .. BATTING FEAT : IS UNUSUAL Only Two Precedents to Three Successive Home-Run Swats. "The feat of hitting three home runs ln a row by three successive batters performed by Tillle Walker, Perkins and Miller of the Philadel phia Athletics in the game against Washington at Shibe park, has only two precedents in the- annals of the game, despite the current prevalence of home run batting. . , Three Cleveland batters last did the stunt in 1902, 20 years ago. La Joie, Hickman and Bradley hit the balls out of the lot, bringing the American league in his respect equal to the -mark set in the Na tional in 1894 by Shugart, Miller and Peitz of the St. Louis club. Round-Up Be Held. VISALIA, Cal., June 1. More than 100 mounts are listed to participate in the first annual San Joaquin val ley roundup, which will be held at Terminus beach, . near here, for three 'days commencing tomorrow. It is planned to make the roundup an annual ' event. ' - SHOT-PUT TO BE CLASSIC HOUSER AND HARTRANFT TO BE SEEN IN ACTION. Stars Will Compete at Santa Bar bara, Cal., ln Athletic Car nival on July 4. . N-At Santa Barbara, Cal., on July 4, will be held a shotput competition that will attract national attention. Though It will not decide any cham pionship, the event will be between two of the best present day shot putters of , the country, and both holders of national titles. They are "Bud'' Houser, national Amateur Athletic union champion, and Glen Hartranft, national Intercollegiate champion. Houser won the national Amateur Athletic union title last year by defeating the brilliant old-timer. Pat McDonald, at Los Angeles. Hartranft won the intercollegiate title this year at Cambridge, Mass. If both men are at their best Hartranft should win. His per formances have been remarkable all year and his best competitive put has been 60 feet 3-8 inch, -where as the best Houser has done has been 48 feet 1 inch. Both have shown consistency "and Hartranft has ,at least three competitive per formances around the 50-foot mark. Hartranft has the advantage in height, weight and reach, and in physical strength is superior' to Houser. The latter la still a high school boy,, attending Oxnard high school in southern California. In the last school season he broke the late Ralph Rose's world scholastic record. To date Hartranft has not achieved any .record-breaking per formances, but Jiis work has, easily placed him at the top so far as shot- putters are concerned. Hartranft Is a sophomore at Stanford. ; The ehot will be- only one event of .three special competitions. CharlieJ'addock, world sprint record holder, will run in a series of handi cap events and attempt to break various sprint - marks that he does not as yet hold. , The- other event will be a pole vault competition with "Red" Nor rls of the University of California, iszl ana ivzz national lntercollegt ate . champion, versus Black of Stanford, the two having tied at 12 feet 6 Inches in the dual meet between the two colleges last April The Santa Barbara chamber of commerce Is behind the meet and a special track Is being built for Paddock's record-breaking attempts. 111 LEAGUE CHIEFS DOUBTFUL Giants' Manager Only Op timist in Crowd. AMERICAN ; LINEUP SAME Ty Cobb Proclaims Certainty of Pennant, But Is Short .. on Pitchers. BY GEORGE CHADWIOK. (Copyright, 122, by The Oregonian.) NEW YORFJ, July 1. (Special.) It ia nearly mid-season today . ln both major leagues. It is also -within three days of the Fourth of July, which has come to have some sort of mysticism , about it, because once upon a time a fellow discovered that the team which was first ln the league on the glorious Fourth was also first when the season was over.' The hunch or the omen, or what ever it may be doesn't work out. Barney Dreyfus and George Gibson will tell you so. On July 4, 1921, they were basking in the smiles of fortune, as the good novel writer would say, and when It came Octo ber there wasn't a soul in Pittsburg would do them reverence. - One fan was so all-fired mad that he thought Barney's grounds should be shut up because the team had fooled the Pittsburg populace so out rageously. Teams Are Sized Up. When it comes to the middle of the season, however, the manager begins to cas up. He knows the value of everything that he had on hand, and from then until the last (hour of grace which dawns for him, he plans to make the best of every player on his payroll. There Is not a manager ln the Na tional league today who Is really sanguine of much of anything ex cept the manager of the Giants. He will not say that he will win even with the season half behind him. but he knows that he has a better chance than any of the other clubs If this pitcher lasts long enough. Branch Rickey is optimistic He till thinks that his St.' Louis Cardi nals will show a spurt similar to that - which they exhibited in the closiijg days of 1921. He seems to forget that the spurt which they made then really had no bearing on tne outcome of the race. ' Brooklyn Has Chance. Chicago, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Boston and Philadelphia have noth ing to which to look forward to. Brooklyn isn't giving up yet, but the Brooklyn club has too much weight and too little speed to have little more than a distant hone that tt will beat New York. There is enough hitting among the Brook lyn players to help, but they started sluggishly. - No manager In the American league Is sanguine that he will win the pennant. Hug-gins, with his stars and his men of presumable Individual ability, realizes the un certainty of the group of which he Is head. There Is no stability. Never mind what Ruth has done or what happened to him.- It- Is a debatable problem whether he has hurt or helped the team this year. There are players who are as un certain as he and more than all the rest there is thatrfeeling which per vades those who follow baseball that the Yankee players are fac tional and notional. . Pitchers Not Stars. The pitchers are not' the best pitchers this year, whatever they may nave been last season and the tanciturn Mays and the headstrong ana egotistical Hoyt are not car rying the Yanks to glory on their shoulders like a pack bearer taking a ioaa over the mountain. Lee Fob! is too cautious to say that he will win with the St. Louis Browns. Part of his team is play ing Detter than it did last sum mer and part of It is playing- worse. His pitchers are more helpful and his Infield is not the poruos olaster that it was in 1921, but his outfield is sagging. Ty Cobb o,nenlv' declares that he will win the championsti.p and his team needs but a little to come through marching with the head of the procession right up to the last day of the race. It has enough in it to De in front if the luck . of the game breaks its way. Were Cobb possessed of one pitcher who could win one in every series from now until the last day of the year, he could1 handle his other pitchers so that he might be a pennant con tender. Senators Stand Still. Griffith has not given up with Washington yet.- The senators, as has so often been the case, are standing outside the wall waiting lor tne apples that fall when the wind blows Instead' of being inside and picking them from the trees. What Cleveland will do Is prob lematical, although Cleveland does not at the moment look like a pen nant contender. They hung a year too long on the old machine. The Yanks cracked it In 1921. and in stead of trying to fll. the cracks, a reconstruction was needed. Just recently Chicago has come from the -bottom up. The Amerioan league has been full of that sort of thingall the season, but when the clubs that make their rush from the depths get to the surface, something Happens ana tney sUDmerge again. Philadelphia and Boston ; will mosey along as best they can and they will retain their franchise when it is all ,ver. If they are n t.mnt ' 1V1 lUUBIBi Pugilistic Values Differ. The difference in pugllistfc values on this and the other side of the Atlantic is as marked as the ability of the fighters. Over in England they frequently become excited over matches that would not be consid ered good preliminaries ln America. But the English tans also are in clined to smile at some of the matches made in America. Recently Tex Kickard offered Georges Car pentier $150,000 for a match with Harry Greb, and it ia presumed that he offered Greb an amount ln pro portion. Not long ago Greb was ln communication with Major Wilson, the English promoter, in regard to some bouts in England. Wilson of- fered the Pittsburger $20,000 for -two rights, and Carpentier was to be his opponent ln one of them. 1 1 Koehler to Lead Penn Staters. H. L. Koehler of Stroudsburg was elected captain or tne Penn state baseball team for a second year. Koehler, who , plays short on the team, led the Nitany nine during the eeaeon just closed, and is also captain-elect of next season's bas ketball five Although he covered the ehortfield job his season, he made a place on th team for htm self as an outfielder, and if & capa ble shortstop is developed next year will probably be shifted back to the outer works. v ... - Jonnard to Remain With Ilians. Claude Jonnard, pitcher for the Indianapolis American basball team, will not be called to Join the New York Giants unless that team weak ens, it was announced recently. Lyon Wins Canadian Golf Title. George S. Lyon, the veteran golf player of Torontot has held the Ca nadian title three years. His latest feat was outplaying his son in the Toronto and district final. BUSH SHIES BULLETS YANK PITCHER'S SPEED IS OF DAZZLING ORDER. Whenever Batter Gets Two-Bag ger OH Joe It's ClncbOIe Just . Shut Eyes and Swung. The pianet Mars, with a tankful of gas, plenty of oil and a new set of tires Is a-pproaching the earth at something like two million miles a minute, and when Joe Bush un tangles his half Nelson from the old pill, it' hops over home. plate at ap proximately the same rate of speed. wnetner "uunet " joe has any up- shoots, drops or curves of the ln and out variety Is 'hard to say. Watch ing the ball after Bush starts It go ing is like learning to speak Russian in one night. , . Whenever a batter slaps- one of his dazzlers for a couple of sacks, it's a safe bet that he closed his eyes and let the Goddess of Fortune do the swinging. Bush recently pitched seven win- I ning games in a row, which started Jake Schaefer wondering if he real ly had a corner on the ba-11 running business. But the man we really feel sorry for, ,the man in whose behalf we drag out the gayly bordered hand kerchief and weep a couple of sobs, is 'the man behind home plate who catches the "Bullet." The National Reform league should take a day off from the bathing beach and the art institute and build a concrete wall around the catcher, ln the name of humanity. The left hands of the backstops who catch Joe are spread ing out and taking on the appear ance of Mr.' Swift's premier break fast food and soulmate of the well known egg.- 'Bullet" Joe Bush was born ln Minnesota, but tired of the east and went to Montana, where he started his baseball career ln Missoula ln 1912. His winning over half of the Eiftyfour games he pitched at tracted Connie Mack's attention, and he took Joe on. ' In 1917 Mack made a trade with the . Red Sox in which Bush was included. . In December of last year Bush, Sam Jones and Everett Scott were traded to the Yankees for Peckln paugh, Qulnn, Piercy and CoHins. . The cognomen "Bullet haTdly seems fair to Joe. for he makes anv bullet look like JL slow freight alongside one of his speed balls. J. DUNN'S DEATH MOURNED Sole Owner of Indians Held Pat tern for Baseball Magnates. Tris Speaker, manager of the Cleveland Indians, Is one of the many who sincerely mourn the re cent death of James C Dunn, presi dent of the club. "Jim Dunn was a pattern of base ball magnate that exemplifies all that a manager wants ln the, owner he works for," says Speaker. "He gave me every co-operation ln the way of getting players, but never tried to dictate how the team should be run. "He never complained when we lost. He always seemed to think that the players ana not nimsen should be sympathized with. 'We can't win 'em .all,' were, his cheering words." Plans are under way to raise a fund for a memorial to Mr. Dunn. It probably will be erected at Dunn field, the home oi tne uieveianu team. While the death of Mr. Dunn brought erlef to all local baseball fans, it was especially felt by thou sands of school children. or sev eral seasons It had been the policy of the dead magnate to admit sev eral thousand free to games played on weekdays, regardless oi wnat team was opposing the Indians.

TlOOMIl IN LATQII1A DERBY Sensation of Kentucky Spe cial Repeats. FINISH IS IN CANTER Voshimi Defeated by Ten Lengths With Olympus Third. " Purso Is $15,000. LATONIA, Ky., July 1. (By the Associated Press.) Thlbodaux, sur prise horse of the" Kentucky special, when he ran a sensational second to Whiskaway and beat the great Mor vich, came Dack today and won the Latonia derby from ' Yoshimi and Olympus in the easiest kind of fash ion. Withdrawal of Broomster and Margaret Winsor had reduced the field to three starters. The race was run over a distance of a mile and one-half for a purse of $15,000 added, $2000 of whichj went to the second horse and $1000 to the third. Olympus was first" to show in front when the barrier ' went up, Thibodaux following and Yoshimi, a slow beginner, trailing. At the half mile Olympus had increased his lead to three lengths and appeared to be running easily. This position he -maintained until the horses turned into the back stretch. Here Earl Pool, jockey on Thibodaux, .shook up his mount and passed the Whitney horse, which seemed then to be tiring. Entering the stretch, Thibodaux was ten lengths in the lead. This he maintained until the end, passing the finish line in a common cancer, ten lengths before Yoshimi. The latter moved up, com ing into the stretch and at the eighth pole passed the favorite and took the place money by a margin of five lengths. A $2 mutuel ticket on the winner netted $3.50 to win and $2.40 to place. Yoshima paid $3.30 to place. While the time was 4 1-5 seconds more than the track record of 2:29 '3-5 for the distance, held by Minto 2d, there were maify horse men who believed that had the Cin cinnati owned colt been ridden out these figures might have been equaled, if not lowered. JAPANESE POLO UNIQUE SPORT ENTAILS GREAT RISK TO THOSE WHO PLAT. Game Combination of Bowling Golf, Lacrosse, Billiards and Horsemanship. Lovers of almost any popular sport enjoyed in the Occident would find an appeal in Japanese polo, or "dakyu," as It Is called, for the game seems to be a combination of golf, lacrosse, billiards, bowling, horsemanship and even football, as it entails considerable risk to the players. r How the game originated Is not known, but It has been played since ancient times, and still is reserved largely for young noblemen and officers of the military staff, who are practically the only ones to ac quire an equestrian standard high enough to make the sport exciting. The contest is held on a regula tion course, 60 by 20 yards, boarded up one end bv a high fence. In the middle of the field is a small pocket, Into which the balls have to be thrown. On either side of this pocket are movable disks, which mark the score bybeing moved up and down. The last two disks are marked with a cross, and it ia not until one of these has disappeared that the game Is decided. A number of red and white balls, one of each crossed to correspond with the disks, are thrown ln be fore the game begins. Then the players, eight in red and eight in white, all dressed ln old style na tive costumes, with saddles and ac coutrements to match, ride in alter nately ln stately procession, salute the distinguished guests and begin the game. Each player carries a short bam boo wand with a small net attached to the end, and his object Is to stoop and capture a ball in this net corre sponding to the color of his team. He then rides furiously toward the goal, where he attempts to pitch the ball Into the cup from the net. During the throwing of the first three or four balls there is no seri ous opposition on either side, but when they have been thinned out somewhat and one side finds itself losing ground the battle becomes fast and furious. The losing side begins riding and dashing at its opponents from all sides, cutting in front, circling from behind and balking them ln every way possible. The crisis Is reacheo when nothing remains but the last two crossed balls by which the game is The Evinriide's Little Brother The price ia ao low In use by Road Builders, Contractors and Equipment Companies.

Here the horsemanship and skill of the players are developed to the fullest, and it is described as no mean feat to secure and carry a ball in a little net through a crowd of skilled . players, yelling, galloping and interfering with all their- energy Even when the ball is safely in the net and the goal is reached the last shot has to be made with eight men all dashing forward, straining every muscle to prevent it going into the cup.

Best Players in Major Leagues Sometimes Are Forced Into Notoriety by Errors. Fred Merkle once won much un desired publicity by failing to touclr second base and thereby losing a pennant for New York. This stunt is included rightfully in the list of famous "bonehead ' plays that have been pulled in the majors. John Anderson once essayed to steal second base with the bases filled. He succeeded, only to find that his teammate. Kid Elberfeld, was occupying said base. "Doc" Gessler, playing the out field with the Chicago Cubs, once caught a fly ball in the last half of the ninth, with the bases filled and only one out, and proceeded to run to the clubhouse with the ball whilo all the "base runners scored. These are just a few of the bone- head plays that head the list of ivory stunts that have been pulled ln the majors. Clarence "Shovel" Hodge, a mem ber of the pitching staff of the Chi cago White Sox, pulled one the other day that entitles him to membership ln the ivory hunters. Chicago was playing Detroit. The game was very close. Detroit got runners on first and second, with one out. With a couple of strikes on the batter Hodge proceeded to pull his now famous "bone." When a ball becomes rough or does not suit the pitcher it is al ways possible for hlra to secure a new ball by appealing to the um pire. Hodge decided to combine um piring with pitching. After getting two strikes on the batsman and having the ball re turned to him by Catcher Schalk, he was seen to examine it very closely, and then, without consult ing anyone, he proceeded to throw It Into the Detroit dugout. The rules say that any ball thrown into the dugout entitles all base runners to advance two bases. The' runner on second was allowed to score, while the one on first moved to third. Fortunately for Mr. Hodge, Chi cago managed to win the game, 6 to- 5. Otherwise Kid Gleason might have said a lot of uncomplimentary things to his elongated pitcher. That is one nice thing in base ball; if your bonehead stunt doesn't prove costly the fans and manager forget about it. But woe to the player who pulls a boner that loses a game. CLEVELAND NEEDS PITCHERS Indians Hover Around .500 Mark in American League Race. CLEVELAND, July 1. Baseball fans are asking this question: "What is the matter with the Indians?" -. For the first time since Tris Speaker became manager of the Cleveland team, the Indians are hovering around the .500 mark. Incidentally only once since he be came identified with major league baseball, 13 years ago, has Speaker finished the year with a game war ning percentage as low as .500, and that was in 1916, his first year as a Cleveland player. The prevailing opinion Is that the Cleveland team needs pitchers. An other cause tor their defeats is the recruit pitchers on opposing teams. More than half the defeats up to the first ofe June 24 at that time were credited to the rookies. Another reason is that the Cleve land team does not hit when their pitchers turn in a good game, while, when their pitchers are off their stride, the Indians count anywhere from six to nine tallies only to lose the game by a margin of one or two runs.
