(United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, May 20—United Press).—Surprising form shown by the New York Giants in their sprint through the first three weeks of the National league schedule caused some of the critics who had picked the Cincinnati Reds as the present winner to seek some way out. Whipped into a, gallop by John McGraw, who realized that the schedu'e ve him a chance to get & jump on his rivals, the Glants speeded along and ‘lost only three games in the first three weeks of the season. They ran away from the Brook- lyn Robins, the Philadelphia Phils and the Boston Braves. Against the weakest opposition in the league it was natural perhaps that the young Giant pitchers should all look like finds, that the batters should look like ball crushers and that the whole team should take on an appearance of invincibility. ‘Recently Hank ODay, the vet- eran National League umpire, was asked what he thought about the young pitchers who made such a surprising Cebut. “I wouldn‘t want to say, now,” he said. “Walt till it, fgets warm and the older players atart batting. It is better to with- hold judgment in that time.” If the Cincinnati Reds were worth a bet as a pennant wihner before the season was started and if they deserve the confidence that many experte expressed in them, there are many reasons why faith in Jack Hendricks and hig team should be twice as great as it was then, It is true that the Giants got away to a flying start, but it must not be forgotten at the Reds stuck right along with them. It must be realized, too, that while the Giants were knocking down and running over the Phils, Braves and Robins, the Reds were hol(ing a siride almost as good against such powerful opposition as the Cubs Pirates and Cardinals. While the Giants were winning five games from Brookly five games from Boston and three games from Philadelphia, the Reds were OO You THIN HE'S STILL THE BEST OUTFIELDER JIN THE LEAGUE LEGION BEHIND FARRELL STILL HAS FAITH IN ‘THE REDS | Reds in giving them a long home stand just when the weather should be getting right for baseball. The Giants had to hit the road and battle the strong western clubs in thelr own territory, while the Reds stayed at home and had the soft eastern meat fed to them, The Giants, however are a great traveling club. They do almost as good")n the roati as they do at the Polo Grounds. Last year they did better away from the home, as they won the pennant by a mad rive through the west~on their last trip. The Reds must be careful when they leave home, as they are not a5 steady on the road as the Giants are. Perhaps this year, with plenty of good pitching and confidence born of early seasons success, the club will not be bothered by any foreign hazard. It is just as well, perhaps, that the Reds should make one-half or two- thirds of the race in second place as lorig as they are within striking dis- tance of the lead, as it is a terrific strain for a club to battle through the hot summer months with the strain of first place holding hanging on their shoulders, In looking over the 1923 record it fs obsorved that the Pittsburgh Pir- ates and the Cards beat the Reds out of the pennant. The Glants won 13 out of their 22 games with the Pirates. w the Reds lost 14 out of their 22 games with the Pitts- lurgh club. The Giants won 14 games from the Card: nd the Reds won 10. The Reds beat the Giants in, their Guai series by a score of 12 to 10 and the score the Reds :nade against the other clubs was almost the same the Glants made against the same clubs, with-a very slight mathematl- ca! difference in favor of the Giants. For instance, the Reds took 13 out of 22 from the Cubs and the Giants took 12 out of 22; the Reds won 14 games out of 22 from the Robins and the Giants split even; the Reds won 15 games from the Bravos and the Gi 16 and each beat ants won ts 19 The the rted off impressively by winning 6 games from the Pirates in the first stage of thé race, only two lees than they won all last sea- taking six games from the strong Pittsburgh Pirates, five games from the formiflable Cubs and one game from the always dangerous Cards. The Giants started off with the team working 100 per cent in all de- partments, but the Reds didn’t get the best of their resources in the early games because Roush and Daubert weren't hitting the size of thelr hats. They are the big pow- ers of the attack of the Reds. Unter the circumstances, the Reds seem all the more powerful in that they were able to keep with- in two games of ‘the flying Giants.

TIGERS FIND-SOLACE FOR LATE DEFEATS IN TRIUMPH ON TRACK By WALTER CAMP (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, May 20.—Princeton's track victory over Harvard Saturday by a score of 89 2-3 to 45 1-8 pro- vided some solace to the Tigers for the painful defeat administered the preceding week end by Yale's track team. And solace was needed tn view of tho fact that the great Yale row- ing crew added Princeton to its list of victims on Lake Carnegie, while Harvard murdered the Tiger base- ball nine at Cambridge by a score of 7-0, knocking Caldwell, the Prince- ton pitching star, out of the box. Although Mercersburg won the Penn inter-scholastic meet at Phila- delphia, Frank Hussey lowered the mark for the hundred yards to 9 9-10 and was clocked in one of his heats in 9 4.5, which 4s interesting to the Olympic committes and also to Messrs, Murchison, Paddock, Bow- mann and others, who will run against him in the Olympic trials. —_ WHATS YOUR DAUGHTER DOING?

The fact remains, however, that for power, rythm, beauty of poise and deliberate ease of excution, this Ell eight stands out among the best combinations the writer has seen. Unless Yale enters the Olympic trials, or sends her varsity to the American henley, she will be seen in no more races of intermediate distance. There remains but the four mile race against Harvard on the Thames. This is never an event to be discounted, but if Yale loses the defeat will constitute one of the great sporting surprises of the year. The Washington eight, although yet to be seen in the east this year, there is not the slightest reason for not granting the huskies every right to kinship with this Yale crew and the pity is they are not to meet. ‘Watching those three Yale crews, the varsity, junior varsity and freshman, one was struck by the similarity of their style and general watermanship which showed for one thing that Edward Leader has a comprehensive eye and a far-reach- ing capacity.
