FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, May 14.—(United Press)—When the great fall, they usually make a great fall out of it. That venerable and ancient wheeze that the bigger they are the harder they fall goes along picking up ex- amples as convincing as they were when it was first observed that no matter how good you are, you'll fall it you stick to it long enough. The greats of sports fall with such reverberating thuds because there Are so many waiting to see the crash and there are so many voices ready to shout in glee: ‘There he goes! He always was a bum!” Pete Whosis, an obscure rookie, can strike out with the winning run on third base without ‘having it bul- letined to the far corners, but let Babe Ruth fall to deliver in a pinch and it is preserved for the next gen- eration. The same spirit that prompted the baseball fan to shout: “Yuh big bum!" when the Babe fanned with the bases filled in the ninth inning of the last world’s series game and the same fickleness that inspired the Dempsey rooters to roar: “Look atim going,” when Firpo had him almost out last summer, exists around the big tracks where equine kings are treated to the same razz- berries. Zev, Harry Sinclair's champion money-winner was the hero of the track last year. He carried the flag in the internationa) race against the British champion, Papyrus, and when he won he was acclaimed a national hero, He was still a hero and the toast and boast of the track when he paraded down the Jamaica track for the Pomenauk Handicap, the first important race of the metro- politan season. His backers couldn't get a bet down on him because he was such a tremendous favorite. It the boast of the Zev fans that the animal didn’t walk on hoofs that could beat him in a sprint. It was but a matter of a few sec: onds after the tape had sprung that it was shown that the animal did live that could beat him in a sprint. Seventy yards from the start Zev found a three-year-old St. James at his shoulder and the three-year-old kept going. Zev not only was beat- en but he was humiliated. His kingdom crashed at his feet and he heard the ovation given to a new king. He had been dethroned and another was in his place, “That Zev," they said, “was al- Ways a four-flusher! He got one licking last summer and he won an- other phony decision! He wquldn't race My Own with the breaks all even and he only went when the spots were picked for him-" Some critics thought that Zev's defeat by St. James in their first start of the season would mean that Zev was removed as a possibility for the flag-bearer in the three big to ask ubout baseball— the man who helped make the self-addressed envelope, Other, Casper Tribune.)

My Own or In Memoriam, they pointed out had more in the favor gor consideration and the chorus came in with a mo- tion seconding: “They always were better than Zev." It 1s quite posible and probable that Zev’s exile from popular favor is only temporary and that his de- feat by St. James will be glossed over in the manner of the boxing manager who say Yes, my boy You know how it {s- Perhaps Zev will run himself back into a position where he will be the outstanding favorite in the inter- national races this summer. On the other hand American money may go down on My Own, In Memoriam or on one of the promising three- year olds that are out this year. Some time ago it was suggested that the class of the American eligi- bles was nothing to boast about and that Man o’ War, the king of them all, should be brought out of retire- ment to save the country. Wise horsemen laughed off this suggestion being impossible, and Sam Riddle, his owner, could not see the existence of any national emergency that would force the king to submit to the risk of having his royal name kicked ali over the track. Man,o' War has the name of belng the gteatest of all American horses and his owner certainly will see that he is not led into a Jim Jeffries trap and deluded into the idea that a great champion should try to do a comeback to save the illustrious name of his race. - Epinard may come over to the United States and run: the tongue out of every champion on the track, but ft can always be sald that Man o’ War could have come out with a milk wagon tied onto him and stop to let the French horse catch up with him at the finish.

In a league game at Syracuse, in 1897, a foul tip hit the catcher on the head, and bounded so high that the pitcher caught it before it reached the ground.

Gretton’ Of Examples of Poor Work. By JOHN B. FOSTER (Copyright, 1924 Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, May 14.—Catcher Perkins of the Philadelphia Athletics is one of the best catchers in base- ball—the very bést, they were say- ing over in the city of brotherly love when the season started—but today he is perhaps the worst pan- ned man in baseball. The reason? During the month of April, when the Athletics and their supporters were just crazy for- a little batting to help them on to a few victories, Perkins turned in a batting average of .083. Twenty-four times at bat and two hits. That was his portion. A pitcher who could not do better would feel sad. But a catcher—oh my! Since May Perkins has been bat- ting 444, But the fans have not noticed that he is picking up. They remember only that long string of games when he did not do a thing while the Athletics rolled and ship- ped water in a heavy sea and they have clamored for his hide as earnestly as they lauded him when the season started, But Perkins is only a rallying point for the Athletic fans. Connie Mack’s club is ridled all the way thru with light hitting. Hauser hasn't Started. Miller is sliding around the barrier instead of breaking away from it. Strand hasn’t come with- in a mile of his first score of hits. Hale is 50 points behind his normal figure and no one much is stepping into the ball except Simmons. It does not take an expert to tall what is the matter with the lowly Athletics, It is poor batting plus Poor pitching. But suppose the players begin to pick up as Perkins picking up in the last two weeks. Then the Athletics might get into the fight as they were expected to do at the start of the season, Exaggerated importance may have been placed on the part Rommell would play in the campaign as pitch. er. Naylor may not be able to do as well as the spurt that he showed in 1923. Other pitchers may be going to flop after promising to amount to something. If that is the case the Athletics are hard hit where they least expected it. The pitching stafe had been reckoned on to overcome breaks coming from occasional poor work elsewhere. A team that cannot bat better than 240 and that has been compelled to work pitchers who cannot get into the games won column because they Are swatted out of the box, or are to wild, is bound to have a hard go. The present collapse of the athletics is, if anything more sensational than that of Cleveland for the latter is beginning to smack its way into the strife with its bats, If the Athletics can take a leaf out of Perkins book tho and gain 361 batting points in ten days, they may yet get into the fight. —_>——— Helen Wills Sails Abroad NEW YORK, April 14.—Carrying the hopes of America for victory in the English championships and Olymplo games, Helen Wills, Califor. nia school girl and national tennis champion, safied early today on the Berenegaria, with her mother. ~ — 2? 2? 2?
