He dropped a By JOHN B. FOSTER (Copyright, 1924 Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, April 21,—Geo. Grantham of the Chicago Cubs has done something this week that no other bal player ever did*so far as research can go into the baseball figures. ‘or the first four games in cession at the beginning of the sea- son, he has accepted elght chances per game. On the opening day it Was 4-4, on the next day 4-4, the third day 3-6, and on the fourth day 3-5. This would seem to dispose, at least in part, of the words of some juc-} season and keep the other boys ex- ball over the garden wall'at Wash- ington yesterday. Cy Williams immediately lifted one skyward at Brooklyn and the home run makers who tied at 41 last season, were off on even terms. Ruth’s blow, made off Walter Johnson, failed to check the careen- ing slide of the world's champions, who thudded to seventh place as the Senators walloped five of the celebrated Yankee pitchers for a 12 to 3 victory. Cy’s swat helped Philadelphia to a 4 to 1 victory over Brooklyn in a game reduced to six innings by rain. Of three other homers made yes- terday, two were decisive. Heine Groh pounded a bender from Rube Marquard into the second tier at the Polo Grounds and scored South- worth ahead of him with the runs that earned a 2 to 1 victory over Boston. Walter Funtsinger, former University of Pennsylvania star, pitched good ball until the ninth, when McGraw played safe and sent Nehf in after two hits were made. Sheely’s circuit swat figured hand- fly in the five to 4 victory which the White Sox won from Cleveland before 32,000 persons at Chicago. Tris Speaker was guilty of baseball heresy by dopping a fly ball in the elghth inning during which the Sox made four runs and finally won by @ squeeze play. Grantham, Cub second baseman added a four base wallop to a double end triple, but his powerful swat- ung did not prevent Cincinnati from beating Chicago, 5 to 2. Luque, Friberg and Statz were put out of the game for debating with the um- pies. Pittsburgh lost, 3 to 2, when Mor- rison pemitted the Cardinals to stage @ two run rally in the ninth. Wright the Pirate Rookie at shortstop, made three hits and handled elght field- ing chances successfully.

RICHARRDS COMING IN OWN AS TENNIS: STRENGTH and he {s playing the game like it really means something to him. Richards {s one of the writer: layers against whom the United ates Lawn Tennis Association di- rected its amateur ruling that a player, after January 1, 1925, will not be allowed to write about tennis for substantial compensation, Richards has maintained that he wanted to make a profession of newspaper work, but afier the un- official rulings of the executive committee of the association was made that the rule would not be waived in the case of Bill Tilden, it is certain that Richards will not be made an exception. because Til- den had a much stronger case, Tilden had some good arguments to present that he was a newspaper worker before he became a tennis star, but Vinnie didn't have any experience as a paid writer before he became a tennis star. In fact he was so young when he became famous on the court that he hadn't had a chance to do any kind of work. Richards hasn't said finally that he would continue in the newspaper me and give up his. amateur standing and if he has any inten- tions to make the sacrifice of his amo that Tilden intends to do, it 8 possible that he may change his 1 and give up writing. With Tilden out of competition nd with Bill Johnston older ar, Richards would have a wonderful chance to step out and win the n hip nd perhaps dom! similar to th Richards will not be eligible for the Olympic team because of the rule passed by the committee pro: hibiting players from doing any kind of newspaper writing while they are under supervision of the committee. This rule, if rigidly applied, may make it impossible for the United States to have any kind of a tennis team in the Olympic games. Tilden, the Kinseys and practt!. cally all of the ranking players come under the writing classiftea tion and they are not eligible. Frank Hunter, regarded as the outstand ing man for the team, recently pur hased a newspaper in West Vir ginla and removed himself as a pos sibility The Olympic committee ought to Make an exception of Hunter, as { is quite obvious that he ts not cash {ng in on his reputation when he mpkes a permanent investment of his money in a newspaper plant and becomes an editor. Paul Williams secretary of the tennis association, is a newspaper editor and It is un likely that he will be considered as a because of and Dick Witt the same reason. With Tilden Hunter, Anderson, the Kinseys and many others barred because of the anti-writing rule, it may become necessary for the association to er ter the college players who going to England next Summer. ——— Games Today American Cleveland at Chicago. &t Louls at Detroit New Work at Washington.
