Sam Ross pitched unbeatable ball in
the Jast three frames of the first game
Sunday. The weather of the past week
has been a. handicap to the pitcher and

Kallio pitched great ball for three in
nings against the Bees in the first game
Sunday. ... '
The infield is playing good ball,! but
Manager Mac is fctill on the lookout for
a third baseman, who can hit the ball.
Cutler is playing a great fielding game,
but at- present is In a batting slump.
Portland displayed a lot of driving
power against the Dees, who are sadly in

"Weather conditions were unfavorable.
It was cold, with a slight breeze blowing
diagonally across the track, striking thu
runners a little in the face. -
"Paddock ran out the 100 yards for the
100-meter record. In the 220 he went on
through tapes at 220 meters, 300 yards
and 800 meters. AH the watches agreed,
with the exception of the 300 yards and
300 meters. Two- watches got him at
faster time than was allowed.
"I started the events, refereed and saw
that everything was authentic All the
officials had lots of experience, and there
can be no reason why the records should
not stand. The records Paddock recent
ly made In the 100 yards and the 2J0
yards have not been sent East as yet,
but will accompany the pew ones when
filed." ' :'

EW YORK. April 26. (I. X. S.)
Consider the youth Riggs Stephen
Three weeks ago the baseball world
never had heard of him. Today Fandom
has taken a "tumble" to him and is
watching his efforts to win major league
spurs with genuine interest.
Stephenson is the Alabama university
lad who is playing second base with the-
world champion Cleveland Indians ana
getting away with that difficult task in
a decidedly brilliant manner.
When Billy Wambsganss was laid up
with a broken arm. Manager Speaker
was at a loss to fill his shoes. "Wbat
to do" kept Sir Tristan awake at night
until Joe Sewell suggested Stephenson.
Sewell came from Alabama university
last fall. He was an unknown. He took
Ray Chapman's position at short and
made good from the start. Did Sewell
think this kid, Stephenson, would fill in?
He sure did. So Speaker sent out an S.
O. S. and Stephenson left his studies to
report with the Indians. When he left
Alabama he intended, to return and nn
ish out' the school term. Latest reports
say he is not going back, for Speaker
thinks he is the goods and is going to
keep him on the payroll.
Fans who studied the first Datcn oi
big league batting averages were sur
prised to "see a newcomer named Ste
phenson leading the league with an av
erage of .577 in 26 times at bat. He is
Cleveland's new infield sensation, ana ne
has been fielding tip to standard.
