President Hawman, who took his

CAN FRANCISCO. April 15. (I. N. S.)
J A ninth inning rally featured the di
viding of Sunday's double bill by Salt
Lake and Oakland. The Mormonttes
copped the forenoon contest, 5 to S,
but bowed to the league leaders in the
afternoon S to 4, after staging a sensa
tlonal batting bee in the final frame.
Salt Lake touched Prough for 10 hits
in the opener, scoring one run each in
the second and third and continuing
with two is the fourth. Howard yanked
his generous heaver in the fifth, but it
was too late, although the Oaks got to
McCabe in the latter half of that in
nlng and rang the gong twice. Just to
make certain, Walter's crew batted out
another tally in the ninth.
In the post merlden contest the Oaks
got off to a flying start, scoring three
runs ton as many hits in the first in
ning. They put another run over in the
sixth. The Bees hummed one In the
lucky seventh and threatened to stage a
regular spring swarm in the last ditch
when they flustered Howard's force,
scoring twice on one hit. But with what
would have been the tying run poised on
third and with but one out the rally
collapsed, and the week's series ended
to 2 in favor of the Oaks.

XTEW TORK. April 15-U. P.) -Tho
A v main reason for strength In the
Cincinnati Reds this year Is not that
tho Reds are stronger than last year.
tut that tho strongest clubs of a yoar
aco have deteriorated to some degree.
That this la true of the Now Torn
Giants cannot bo doubted. Tho loss
of Charley Hersog and tho appoint
ment of Larry Doyle as his successor.
both as field leader and as tho sec
ond baseman of the club amounts to
loss of strength. Where tho club gains
In added batting power It loses ag
gresslveness and base running. It
galno nothing In baseball brains, for
there are no smarter baseball players
than Hersog. with all his lack of
pleasing personality.
VeGrawlUs Co Back
Tho Giants also have gone back in
pitching effectiveness. Where they were
strongly fortified a year ago with
trio of tho game's best left bandars
they have a slipping staff this year,
bolstered only by the acquisition of
Jess Barnes. And Barnes cannot sup
ply tho void left by Bailee's lost ef
fectiveness, and Benton's weakness.
Schupp has rounded Into form slowly
this year. He is a cold weather star,
however, and should have another great
year.
Tho main punch In tho Giants this
year is In heavy hitting, which will bo
somewhat trimmed through tho loss of
Davey Robertson. Neither WUhott nor
Thorpe measures up to Robertson as
a hitter, and only Thorpe Is his equal
as a fielder. Wilhoit Is even a weaker
hitter than Thorpe, even though his
pinch bitting last season was excellent.
Cabs Make Tkreat
But where tho Reds gain through tho
Giant's loss of power they also meet
renewed strength In tho Cubs. It Is

Boston, with tho Western teams on
their toes for their openings.
Picked te Kefoet
The eight National league teams
are also ready, and tho consensus
of opinion among baseball critics
voices a prediction that both pen
nant races will develop keen compe
tition between at least three or four
teams In each league, though the
Giants and White Sox. last year's
champions, are being generally
picked to repeat this season.
The Giants arrived here early to
day from Lexington, Ky.. to open
their season at the. Polo grounds to

Baptic Stis Skating Record
Chicago. April 16.(I. N. S.) A new
world's record In the 600-meter dash on
Ice belongs to Norval Baptle. Canadian
champion, hero yesterday, who made
the distance in 0:47 The old figure
was 0:60 2-6.
New York. April II. (U. P.) The
name of Bill Donovan, glorified no
more with connection with a major
league, nevertheless promises to
cause some stir In major league cir
cles this yoar.
As New York. Philadelphia and
Boston prepared today to open the
season. Bill was leaning back and
enjoying himself for the Detroit
pitching etaff. for tho first time In
many and many a day. and Is about
ready to cut loose and show the
American league It can do things.
Training periods are a poor gauge
by which to Judge coming perform
ance, but It is a startling fact that
tho Cincinnati Reds, one of the hardest-hitting
teams In either league,
has been able to do very little with
tho Tigers. And usually the Tigers'
pitchers have been rather Ineffect
ive. The Detroit Tigers, therefore, must
be counted In the American league
race probably the dark horses and
next best to the White Sox them
selves. And BUI Donovan is coach
ing the Tigers pitching corps.
The Yankees, who go Into action
today at Washington, appear ready
to challenge the league for a first
division berth, but pitching weak
nesses have cropped up and there Is
no reason to believe that DerrOl
Pratt will strengthen the Infield
enough to make the Yankees any
great shucks as contenders.
Prominent! Coaches
To Hold Conference
New York. April XB. (XT. P.)-Xerly
loo prominent athletic trainers and
coaches from all sections of the coun
try, who have enlisted as Y. M. C
athletic workers In Europe, will meet
Tuesday and Wednesday at Minealo for
a brief conference on plans before sail
ing. Big BUI Edwards, former Prince
ton star; Dave Fults, W. 8. Laagford.
Sparrow Robertson and many other
prominent athletes will be present.
Chicago. April 16-I. N. 8.) G rover
Cleveland Alexander. Cab pitcher. caUed
for the army draft. Is expected to ar
rive here today to confer with President
Weeghman and other club officials. '
What the conference Is to be about ap
pears a mystery, but fans are hoping
it may have something to do with Alex
ander's chances of pitching ball for .the
Cuba this summer. ' '.
That there Is little chance of this,
however. Is Indicated by the latest report
from the west. One from Omaha In to
the effect that despite ' reports tf. the
contrary, Alexander must go into tbe
next draft. This is from K. O. Balien
sky, clerk of the board which has the
big hurlera destiny in Its hand. Bahen
sky says Alexander Is eleventh on -the
list and 13 are to be taken. Two far
mers are ahead of O rover and they will
get deferred classification, so.Alex may
be ninth, 'says Bahensky. Bahensky
says also that Alexander has not yst
been notified.
