Victory Over Stengel’s Homer for Braves. NEW YORK, April 17.—All victors of the major league opening day were defeated yesterday except De- troit, which jumped to the American League leadership by winning over Cleveland, 5 to 1. A home run by Casey Stengel in the tenth inning broke up a two-day tie between Boston and Philadelphia and placed the Braves at the head of the National’ parade. The score was 4 to 3. Home runs were numerous. Frankie Frisch and Billy Southworth connected with Burleigh Grimes’ spitter for circuit blows in the Giant form reversal which downed Brook- lyn, 7 to 1, Only six thousand per- sons of the 44,000 opening day crowd returned for the second game. Carl- son, @ Philly pitcher, Hartnett of the Cubs, L. Bell of the Cardinals, and Harry Heilmann of the Tigers were the other four base swatters. Wilbur Cooper pitched Pittsburgh to a 1 to © victory over Cincinnati in the best played game of the day. Only one Red reached second base and six double plays helped to sweep runners from the sacks. Jack Ben- tley held the Dodgers hitless until the seventh, after which he allowed four blows. The veteran Jack Quinn gave Yankee batsmen only six safeties and turned Babe Ruth back hitless in the Red Sox 9 to 6 victory. Which witnessed flashy fielding by Young Dudley Lee, Red Sox short- stop. While his teammates walloped four St. Louis pitchers for 17 hits, Grover Alexander coasted in with a 13 to four Cub victory. Rommel twirled a five hit contest for Connie Mack's young Athletes, who drove the veteran Mogridge from the mound in the first frame and beat Washington, 6 to 1, George Sisler’s batting and field- ing again featured the St. Louis- Chicago battle in the American League, but a single by Eddie Col- ins brought Hooper home with a 3-2 White Sox’ victory in the tenth in- ning. Earl Whitehill, Detroit, recruit southpaw, knocked Joe Sewell un- conscious with a thrown ball and hit three other batsmen while (le- feating Cleveland. Sowell finished the game. Manager George Sisler of the St. Louis Browns, in addition to playing a star role with the bat and in the field, is wide awake on the bases. He drove what would have been an ordinary single in yesterday's game and when he saw Bill Barrett nap- ping on jthe hit he darted for second and beat the throw for a double, Jack’ Bentley, former Baltimore southpaw, 18 expected to be one of the Giant’s star moundsmen this season. In his first start of the season he let the Brooklyn Dodgers down, with four hits and struck out eight men. Earl Whitehill, rookie Lefthander, outpltched the veteran Stanley Cove- leskie, giving the Tigers a victory over the Indians. Whitehill allowed only seven hits but was wild, knock- ing Joe Sewell unconscious with one of his wild ones. Grover Alexander veteran pitcher of the Cubs, who during the train- ing trip gave indications of again being “master of control,” got a bad start against. the Cardinals. He walked three men and was tagged for eleven hits, but emerged victor because of the heavy hitting of his mates.

SCOTT ADDS TO HIS STRING OF GAMES PLAYED NEW YORK, April 17.—By start- Ing off-the 1924 season in his regu- lar post at shortstop for the world's champion Yankees, Everett Scott, baseball's “iron man,” now has Stretched to 1,140 his streak of con- secutively played games that stands out as one of the most remark- ble achievements of the national Scott began his record breaking string on June 20, 1916, while he was with the Boston Red Sox, so that this year he ts entering the ninth season which figures in his performance, Scott played in 103 straight games in 1916; 157 in 1917 and 126 and 138, respectively, in 1918 and 1919, when the schedules wero cut down tecause of the war. He went through 154 games in 1920, and, though truded to the Yankees in 1921, did not miss his place in the lineup, playing in 154 games that year and in the next. Last season he was in all of the Yankees’ 152 contests, “ sonal reply enclose a stamped, (Copyright 1924, The Casper Tribune) (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) QUESTION—Is there ® man by the name of Jordan who has any Interest In the Portland, Ore., base- ball club, or if it is a stockholders’ ball club? -.

Golden haired Helen Wills, the idol and the proud boast of all America, is the recognized champion of the United States, and if she wins the British championship at Wimbledon next June, she will be the legitimate champion of the world, There is no official title as the world's champion tennis player, but there can be no dispute for a claim to the title made by the winner of the British and the American cham- pionships, Just beginning to reach the best part of her game, the California girl has an even chance to win the British title against the best com- petition in the world. If Mlle, /Suz- anne Lenglen, the reigning queen of the court, does not defend her title, “little Helen" is a cinch to win. The temperamental French stav announced recently that her heart was first in France, that she wanted to be on her best game for the glory of France in the Olympic games and that she could not defend her title at Wimbledon. She may have other reasons for not wanting to try her game against Miss Wills at Wimbledon, but it is not courteous to question her mo- tives or to doubt that her decision to stay away from the Wimbledon tour- nament was inspired by any reason other than the one given. It is unfair to the California girl to say that she will win if Mlle. Lenglen does not play, because the inference would go along with it that she could not have wen the cham- pionship if the real champion had been there to play her. 7 Miss Wills is going to England to play for the United States in the Wightman Cup matches, in the British championships and at the Olympic games, It is quite certain that she loves her country as deeply and as passionately 'as Mile. Lenglen loves France, The American girl believes that she can get on her best game by playing through the most strenuous preliminary competition in strange lands and under unfamiliar conditions. The French girl believes that she would hurt her game by playing through one tournament at ‘Wimbledon on a court that ought to be as famillar to her as the path to the door of her home. The variance in the policy of the two. girls: may-be and probably'is the result of a wide difference in na- tional characteristics over which there !s no control. This much 1s certain, however, if the French star saves herself for the Olympic games to the exclusion of all other competition, she can have no alibt tf she discovers during the Paris games that there ts another girl her superior on the court. Because of the wide difference in their temperaments, because the French gir] has an establised ten dency to “blow up” in a crisis and because the American girl has the finest competitive spirit of American athlete, we would give Miss Wills more than an even chance to beat Mile. Lenglen at Wimbledon and we feel that she is almost certain to beat her if they any BASEBALL QUESTION BOX If yon have some question to ask about baseball— If you want a rule interpreted— If you want to know anything about a play or a player— Write to John B, Foster, the man who helped make the rules under which the game is played today.

It might be admitted that Mlle Lenglen has a flashter and flossier game than the American girl; !t must be conceded that she ts more experienced than “Little Helen and it might be granted that Su- zanne can do more things on the court more skillfully than her lead- ing rival can, but in the heat of battle, when the issue might come to a point for victory, “Little Helen” is vastly better equipped to get the best out of \her game than the French girl ts, In the tightest of pinches, when everything might depend upon the most perfect bit of execution, Helen Wills never will be ruffled, She has @ most superb fighting heart and a disposition that is most remarkably self-addressed envelope.

Under the same conditions the French girl might work herself into a coughing spell and “blow” the whole works. America would be delighted to the heart if her “Little Helen” should come back from Europe as the British and the Olympic tennis champion.. Since the days of 1905 and 1907, when the 18-year-old Call- fornia darling, May Sutton, won the British champtonship, © there been no girl who has worked herself 80 close to the heart of the American public as has Helen Wills. She represents what. statesmen, diplomats and educators lke to hold up as the national girl, a type of girl that can be paraded any place in the world and be pointed to with pride by Americans “our girl.” Helen Wills may be shutout in the Wimbledon tournament, she may maké a sorry showing in the Olym- pic games, but yet she will be a credit to her country and the shield she is to wear because if she does have to lose, she will lose as bravely and as graciously as she would have won generously and nobly. There is not a reason, however, why she should be forced to show What a good loser site is.

(Copyright, 1924 Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, April 17.—Fears of the baseball magnates that this presidential year would cut in on baseball interest bave been allayed. Tuesday's season openers, attended by crowds totalling nearly 255,000 people attended to. that. It has been the rule in baseball that presidential election years cut riously inte the attendance figures. But comparing the opening day crowds of this year with those of last, you'd never know this was one of the supposedly lean years. From now on, the crowds will be regulat- ed by the ability of the players to keep alive the interest that has been displayed, by making the ball races as interesting as the presidential handicap. If the clubs in either league stretch out into a procession for the championship, that league Will suffer, But if they keep bunch- ed; they will keep the turnstyles clicking merrily. And that they are ikely to keep bunched in both leagues wan indicated by the scores of the openers. Practically all the games played were marked by un- usually low scores. This seems to confirm the opinion expressed at the end of the spring training season that the pitching of this year prob- ably would bé an improvement over that of the past thi ARE YOUR LUNGS WEAK ?
