NEW YORK, June 10 W) A
render'! query about the base
ball hall of fume recently led
Clyde McUrldo of the Kansas
City Star to suggest thnt a lot
of the old-time bnll players
hadn't received their Just des
serts In the balloting for the
honor roll at Cooperstown bo
cmuc the old-time baseball
writers weren't around to tell of
their feats. . . . "If Chndbourne,
1'helon, Biiliier, Sam Crane and
others could come back, wrote
MeBrlde, "you would soon be
knowing about early sturs who
: plnyed the name with all the dar-
ing and stamina and skill of the
modern stars, a different game
perhaps, but nevertheless base
ball." . . . Well, there's one who
doesn't hove to come back, Hugh
Fullerton, senior. He doesn't
rnte himself as an old-timer yet,
but he used to pat around with
those guys "and he can tell you
plenty about the stars of the
nineties and even before.
MATTER OF OPINION
The real "old timers" swore
by such players as Jere Denny
and Fred Pfcfcr, star Inflelders
of the 80s, and Mlko "King"
Kelly, colorful catcher who in
his day probably was as famous
as Bnbe Ruth. . . . Pop doesn't
agree on these choices, nor does
he agree entirely with the most
recent baseball writer' ballot on
which Frank Chance, Rube Wad
dell, Ed Walsh, Miller Hugglns
and Ed Delehanty came the clos
est of those who failed election.
. , .. Most of them will get pla
ques in the hall some day, he
says, but some of the best play
ers have been neglected or for
gotten entirely.
REMEMBER THESE FELLOWS?
There was big Bill Lange, (or
Instance, another player whose
famo could be compared to
Ruth's. . . . There were some
great pitchers an unusual num
ber of them. In fact who have
received few votes or none at
all. Mordccal Brown and Addle
Joss have had some backing, but
how about Bill Dlnnecn, better
known as an timpiro, Tom "Toad"

Close Ones Common to St.
Louis, Which Beot Plrotei
4-3; Senators Lot Ground
By JUDSON BAILEY
Associated Press Sports Writer
Tho club that wins tho one
run gumus wins the pennant In
tho National league, according
to tho old sago of the senior
circuit,
This diveting aspect of victory
canio In for considerable atten
tion last year as tho St, Louis
Cardinals sturted streaking down
the homo stretch. From early
August till the end of the season
tho Rcdblrds played IB games
which were decided by one run
and they won 14 of them.
The Cardinals still are playing
their games tight and they still
are winning most of them, al
though naturally enough their
mark this spring doesn't com
pare with last autumn.
Close Ones
Discounting a pair of tie
games, tho Cardinals have had
24 of their 41 contests this sea
son settled by one run and they
have triumphed In 14 of tho 24.
They had another one of these
close, contests yesterday, the
day's only fracas In tho National
league, and they captured it in
the manner to which they have
become accustomed, 4-3 over the
Pittsburgh Pirates.
Mort Cooper and Rip Sewoll,
two of the league's leading pitch.
era, were paired on the mound
and came up to the ninth inning
with the score tied 3-3. Then the
Cards' speed got them the vital
run.
Whltey Kurowski, playing for
the first lime since he hurt an
eye on May 28, stretched a hard
drive into a double to open the
Inning. Martin Marion was giv
en on International walk. Cooper
sacrificed, Lou Klein lifted a fly
to leftficld and Kurowski raced
home after tho catch. Total for
the inning one hit, one run.
Kurowski also collected a tri
ple and a single to score two of
St. Louis' other three runs to
help Cooper gain his seventh
victory against three defeats.
This gave the Cards a half
gamo margin over the second
place Dodgers, who were kept
idle by weather conditions.
Yanks Idle
In the American league the
first place New York Yankees
also were idle, but the Washing
ton Senators lost ground never
theless by dropping a 3-2 deci
sion to the Boston Red Sox.
Jim Tnbor and Tony Luplcn
hit home runs In the first inning
to send Tex Hughson off in front
and ho continued to victory al
though giving eight hits to the
six his teammates made off
Dutch Leonard and Alex Carras
qucl. The Detroit Tigers slipped out
of third place by losing a 3-1 ver
dict to the Chicago White Sox in
spite of seven-hit pitching by Hal
Newhouscr. All three Chicago
counters were scored In the first
inning and were unearned. Dur
ing the game Detroit made four
errors, three of them by Rudy
York. The Tigers were held to
six hits by Johnny Humphries,
but he had to have help in the
ninth inning.
The game was played at twi
light before a crowd , of 14,703
paying customers.
The Cleveland Indians ran In
to the day's worst ambush, how
ever. On returning to their own
park for the first time in two
weeks they were beaten 6-0 by
the last place St. Louis Browns
and stumbled in to seventh place
In the standings. Bob Muncrief
held the Indians to two lonely
singles. George McQuinn hit a
three-run homer for the Browns,
In eleven years. Pop considers
him a better receiver than Mick
ey Cochrane.
, e
ALL-STAR INFIELD
Taking them by positions,
Htighic, senior, rates Hal Chase
as the best first baseman, fol
lowed by Fred Tenney and
Frank Chance. . , , At second he
places Hall-of-Famers Larry La
Jole and Eddie Collins with
Johnny Evers next. At short
"you don't have' to go further
than Honus Wagner." But Wil
liamson, also listed as a third
baseman, had a' little pre-game
stunt of having two men hit
grounders as rapidly as they
could while he fielded them,
moving in steadily until he was
almost on top of the plate. . , .
For third bale pop's picks are
Jimmy Collins, Bill Bradley and
Buck Weaver.
e
OUTFIELD IS COVERED
With Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth,
Trls Speaker and Willie Keeler
already elected and Delehanty
and Hughie Duffy pretty well
up on the lists, it seems that
the hall of fame has a pretty
good stock of outfielders. . . .

Mile Run to
Close Finishes Anticipat
ed in NCAA Meet
Friday and Saturday
By ARNOLD DERLITZKI
EVANSTON, III., June 10 (VP)
The mile run, perennially a pro
ducer of close finishes in nation
al collegiate track competition,
apparently has no idea of depart
ing from tradition in the 22nd
annual NCAA meet at Dycha
stadium Friday and Saturday.
Evidence of this lies in the fact
that the best times of at least
eight milers, each of whom has
traveled the distance in 4:10 min
utes or faster, show a variance
of little more than a second and
a half.
And Clarence Dunn of Illinois
might have hit 4:15 or better in
stead of 4:17.6 in the recent cen
tral collegiate meet had he not
eased up to finish in virtually a
dead heat with teammate Bob
Seib.
The best time this season
among the eight leading contend-
ers was the 4:17.2 minutes turned
in by Bob Porter of Rice. Then,
in order, came Dunn, Seib, Jerry
Thompson of Texas, Don Burn
ham of Dartmouth, Ralph Dewey
of California, Ross Hume of
Michigan and Bill Scott of Mich
igan State. .j
