The iron arm of Walter Johnson spiked the guns of the Yankee cannonaders yesterday and the world’s cham- pions lost to Washington, 3 straight games. to 2, after winning eight Detroit was beaten by St. Louis, 8 to 7, and the first place tie remained unbroken in the American >». league. ITALIAN MAY BATTLE WILL Spalla Is Expected to ent for “Fight This Year. | By FAIR PLAY (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, May 2.—Ermino Spalla’s statement that he wanted one good fight in Brazil before he met Harry Wills makes it appear that the Italian will train along with Nick Kline ‘when he reaches this country toward the end of this month. Tt will be recalled that Kline sign- ed an agreement with Paddy Mul- lins, Wills’ manager on behalf of Spalla, guaranteeing that his foreign boxer would meet Wills on the basis of a fifteen thousand dollar payment, with the privilege of thirty percent of the gate. No one belfeved that Spalla would keep fafth with Kline, if only be- cause the Italian has failed to ans- wer a bushel of cablegrams sent him by Nick. But Spalla's assertion that he ex- pects to meet Wills when he comes here looks as though his silence so far as Kline {fs concerned was not due to any idea of side stepping, but rather a disinclination to spend money for cables. In addition to signing for Wills, Kline also has an agreement with Rickard to produce his man in the ring against Gene Tunney. Firpo’s alleged statement that he is sore at Tex Rickard because he made him fight Dempsey a year be. fore he was ready for such an en- counter has the earmarks of truth. ‘When Firpo was training at Atlantic City for Dempsey, this was his chief grouch, that he wasn't ready yet. “A year from now" he said the day before the battle “I would kill Dempsey, but now I don’t think I shall last longer than four rounds.” The trouble with Firpo ts that in the months that have gone by since that Dempsey battle he has done Uttle or nothing to improve himself His condition has been such that if Spalla had had uny cleyer man be- hind him tn his fight in Buenos ‘Aires he would have lasted out the fifteen rounds and given Luts rep an awful crimp. They are talking of a benefit for ‘Willie Jackson who has hung up his gloves for good. Willie must have made a lot of money in his time but now Is said to be broke. He should have taken a few financial lessons from his old rival, Johnny Dundee. THE DICTATOR There’s no law against buyinga hat with a 100 per cent kickinit. The Gordon is that kind of ahat.

Hauser’s third home run scored the lone Philadelphia run. The pitching firm of Mays and May of Cincinnati suffered serious Yosses from a batting raid by the Chicago Cubs, who included seven two base hits, a triple and Hartnett’s homer among 17 hits that resulted in an 8 to 1 victory.

FANS NEW YORK, May 2.—Fight fans expect a bristling, old fashioned light welght melee at Madison Square Garden tonight when Pal Moran of New Orleafis meets Luis Vicentini, Chilean fighter in a 12- round decision bout at 135 pounds, for the right to challenge Champion Benny Leonard. Moran, give-and-take battler whom Leonard failed to knockout after Pa) gave the champion free swings at his jaw, has added cleverness born of long experience to his defense. Vicentini, the Firpo of the little men, lacks the fineness of his opponent. but swings powerfully and willingly from a flat footed position. The Chilean {s regarded by ex perts as possessing a punch harder than Leonard's at long range but apparently Iacking in ability to put power into short blows.

Z PADDOGK NOW IN FINE FORM Coaches Should Not Attempt Change in Finish—Camp. By WALTER CAMP (Copyright. 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, May 2.—In the face of the spectacular performance of Charley Paddock at the Drake re- lays last Saturday, it is to be hoped that the Olymnic coaches wil! not re- peat the attempt made by coaches at Antwerp to induce Paddock to alter his leaping finish. Of course, it 1s possible that Pad- dock might finish fast in the* nor- mal way and if he did he would surely beat any man on earth But on the other hand he might not do so at all. And his performance at the Drake relays was too good to risk spoiling. He ‘overhauled three contestants to whom he had conceded four yards in the hundred and finished a full three yards ahead of them. ‘Then, in a trial race, run on a heavy track after an hours rest he did the hundred in 9 9-10 seconds. Paddock hasn't been in the news much recently, but this performance gives. promise that he will be a star even among the remarkable group of fliets upon whom the United States will rely in the Olymple sprints. Paddock ‘is not the only one the coaches should let pretty much alone. Clarence Demar, for instance has requesféd that he be permitted to direct his own training and diet Every man has personal ideas par. ticularly in the matter of diet and Demar has demonstrated by his four great victories over a period of twelve years that his method {s right for him, His request about separate sleeping quarters certainly should be eranted, and it might be well. {f pos sible, to folow out this suggestion in the case of some others. | Standings | National: Clubs Won Lost Percent New York - 10 2 833 Chicago - 10 6 625 Cincinnat! . - 8 6 571 Pittsburgh a 7 8 A467 Brooklyn RC 7 462 Boston - - 4 6 400 St. Louis . 5 10 +333 PhiladeIphia - 3 7 222 American: Detroit - 9 5 643 New York 9 5 648 Philadelphia 8 6 -500 Chicago 7 6 473 Cleveland - 6 7 462 Washington -... 6 8 429 Boston -. eet Alt St. Louts ~ 6 9 357 —_ Cal! the Tribune for highway in- formatio: FOR THE SEASON —| THE TRIBUNE’S PAGE OF SPORTING NEWS REMEMGER THERE'S THREE By you wanr-ro ZA YES, BUT WHAT 0O 1 WAN'T oF Saris First in News PAGE ELEVEN. Of All Events RING LARDNER MGRAW TOOK LONG CHANCE WITH ROOKIE PITCHER By HENRY L. FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, May 2.—(United Press)—Although the results” are often painful, here are some ad- vantages in finding out the full capabilities of a young athlete. In Professional sports, where so much depends upon building a good foundation, it is the accepted privi lege of a manager to bring young- sters along by adherence to a nurs- ing program in which the hard spo! are reached by gradual degree. John McGraw, manager of the New York Glants, whose success in baseball has made his theorles one of the accepted rules of the game, sald once that even a finishéd, pro duct from the minor leagues needed at least one season upon a major league bench before he was ready for the big-time. McGraw, however, knows that-no standard rules can be applied suc- cessfully in every case and his suc: cess has been due largely to his in- clination to make his rules fit the case. ‘The Giant manager caused veteran writers and old-time fans to hold court on him when he started three rookie pitchers during the first week of the pennant race. The verdict had to be returned in’ favor of Mc- Graw, however, as the youngsters got by with the games. Commenting about it later, Mc- Graw said that he had to find out what they could do and the only way he could do it was by shoving them in and letting them take it. In the second game of the season, McGraw started Weyland Dean, a youngster who had never seen a big league park before. He got smack- ed for two home runs in the first in- ning, but he didn’t lose heart and won his game. McGraw then turn- 4 to Virgil Barnes, who had gone through the bench duty for two sea ons and he turned in his game Wa'ter Huntzinger, a boy just a from the University of , then got his call, and Penn he delivered. The results, of course, were high ly successful; not only in the games won and lost, but in the confidence that was instilled in the youngsters by getting recognition from the manager and by making good, The results also had a psychological ef- fect upon the whole team, who play ed their hearts out to encourage the youngsters, McGraw is the greatest gambler inthe business, Hp took a long chance when he sent Dave Bancroft aw to the Boston Braves, and told young Travis Jackson that he was good enough to play shortstop on a champion team. Jackson had the test put to him last summer in the heat of a close pennant race, and he made good. McGraw, in that case, however, had no option. He had to call on Jackson when Bancroft got because he had no éther sonal reply enclose a stamped, BASEBALL QUESTION BOX If you have some question to If you want a rule interpreted— If you want to know anything about a play or a player— Write to John B.

The risks taken in throwing an untried youngster into battle are not as hazardous as they are in boxing. If a youngster fails the first time he is called to go to the bat in a pinch or the first time that he is asked to take the box or a place In the field, the reaction is purely mental and he can be brought out of it, but a young boxer under the same circumstances may be ruined permanently. The process of making a boxer is slow and tedious and has little ,mone- tary compensation. The temptation to find out what chances a young- ster has for the big dough has caus: ed many managers to try to jump the grade school stage of training and hurry their charges tnto educat- ed company without the necessary training. The most recent example of the danger in asking a youngster to take it too quickly was that of Paul Ber- lenbach, the young New York mid- dleweight. Berlenbach had ten professional fights in which he had shown class that marked him as one of the finest ring prospects brought out since Jack Dempsey started to club his way to the heavyweight title. With- out granting him the right to learn the racket, the public forced him into a match with Jack Delane: fighter the first-class had been regarding it was only should dose. Another young fighter In the same sition might have been heart broken or at least discouraged, but Berlenbach was smart enough tc know that it was not his fault and game enough to figur tit was a e for him better for it It like he was as po n, ural that Berlenbach and piece of valuabl nd that he wa Perlenbach said. he 1 bush-leaguer facir gue pitch ing for the first time, and that all EVEN COBB IS SU By JOHN B. FOSTER (Copyright, NEW YORK, May 2.—The April of the Detroit American pitch. ers has surpassed the expectations of their boss, has made the fans of the auto city happy and, of course, has brought the usual upsets. The upset happened to Cole, who was heralded as one of the aces of the Detroit pitching staff. He lost two of the four games that the team has been compelled to surrender. However, when the season warms up, he is likely to step in and show his prowess as a winner, provided any of the other pitchers show indi cations of faltering. Dauss lost the other two games for the Tigers, but he has two victories to offset it Now for. the plearant side of the Picture.
