TEXACOS WIN FROM GIANTS INFINE GAME Casper Team Scores Five Runs In 10th To Break Tie Score GLENROCK, Wyo., June 2.—The Texaco Stars of Casper won from the Glenrock Giants here yesterday afternoon, 10 to 5, scoring five runs in the 10th inning after the score had been knotted up at the end of the ninth. The winners went wild in the final stanza and knocked the ball all over the lot. Both teams played fine baseball, the few errors being made chargeable to the slight- ly soggy field. Flannery and Loggy pitched con- sistent ball for the winners and were well backed up in the field. Captain Woods, McWhorter and Westgaard were the leaders with the willow for the Texas outfit. McWhorter got three hits in four times at bat. Two of them went for two sacks. Simons was the heavy hitter for the Glenrock’ nine, Simons got a triple for the hom guard as aid Westgaard of the vis! ing aggregation. Teams— R. EE.

That there is a great dif. ference Detween playing with an Hngl'sh ball on the Wimbledon turt and In playing with an American ball on Forest Hills sod was made strik'ngly apparent last summer when the British woman's team camo over here and were disastrous. ly beaten by the American feminine stars. No one would deny after those Wightman Cup matches at Forest Hills that the British ladies did not play their best games and their ex- cuse that they could not get the feel of the American courts and get the’ swing of the American ball was ac- cepted as everything but an alibi. Thp Hnglish ladies were too grac- ious to alibi themselves and all the ternationalists who saw the matches told what the trouble was before the guests felt it politic to discuss conditions which brought about their downfall, Even though sne will have a month's time in which to acclimate herself to British living, the popular young California champion will find when she takes the court for actual competition that she may have to make her game as she goes along. Such a competent critic as young Vinnie Richards believes that the use ofthe English ball is going to be the biggest handicap that Miss Wills will be asked to carry in her Wightman Cup matches and in the British championships at Wimble- don. . “The English ball” he says “is smaller and much softer than our ball. The turf over there is also much softer and {t is hard to get the fee] of the ball. “When I pleyed my first match in England,” he continued, “I was totally at sea. I was playing aainst Washer, the Belgian star, and it was fortunate that he was having the same difficulty. I kept trying my customary pace and found that I couldn't get any control and I was being beaten badly because it was forcing the attack and he was letting me lose on my errors. “Finally T decided that I must let him carry the game and see how he could do. I started chopping them back at him and he started driving them all over the place, and I won on his erro. HELEN WILLS TO BE HANDICAPPED IN TENNIS GAME Just as soon as Miss Wills gets the feel of the English ball and gets her e regulated to strange turf, if she ‘does, she will have to jump to Paris and change her styl completely for the Olympic match The tennis matches in Paris are to be played on clay courts, with an ‘American made ball, Had Miss Wills been able to play first in Paris, she certainly would have been on the very top of her game, because she has done all her train- ing on clay courts and has done most all of her playing there. It is apparent that Mile. Suzanne Lenglen knew there would be a handicap in changing her whole style so abruptly if she went to Wimbledon for the British cham- Ptonsht, nd there fs no doubt that she made a wise decision when she passed up the Wimbledon trip and chose to remain at home and prac- tice on clay with the American ball. Recent reports from Paris in- dicate that Mile. Lenglen’s illness was actually physical, and was not the result of mental faintness that might have been the result of thinking too much about the seo- ond American menace to her crown, The world’s champion is said to have jaundice and, if so, it is, a einch that she will not be in con- ition to play her best game in July. Some good tennis critics, who re- turned from Paris recently, said that the Amefican champion could beat Suzanne if she played the French girl the right way. They referred to the Tilden theory that victory can*be won as much by running down the opponent as by knocking him down. | They seemed to think that Mlle. Lenglen will not be in condition to cover a lot of court from a changed pace attack, but that she would outslug any player in the world who wanted to stand up and throw them at. her. It 1s very probable that the young American champion wil] not have to be told what kind of a game to play against Lenglen and if she should need some advice, there will be some competent counsel with her. < SECOND POLO MATCH TODAY NEW YORK, June 3—The sec- ond game of the series between the University of Arizona and Princeton for the national intercollegiate polo championship will be played. today. The Princeton team won the first contest late Friday and would cinch the title by winning today. If Ari- zona is victorious a third and decid- ing ch will be played on Wed- nesday. —<—___.

For instance on Sat- urday the score was Rochester, 3; Baltimore, 3. Sunday it was rain- ing where Rochester played and not where Baltimore played and Mon- day's paper showed Baltimore, 4; Rochester, 3.

Is that not illegal? Answer—The ball munt not be de- Uvered to the batsman with either foot back of the pitcher's plate and winding.up to deliver the ball part of the pitcher's delivery, is Fisher, STANDARD BEATS LEGION AND Game —Elks Play Much Improved Over. Last Week With the Standard defeating the American Legion 3 to 1 and the Elks taking Lavoye into camp 5 to 1+the Oil City league fans were treated to some fine baseball Sun- day afternoon at the High school park. The baseball in this league is getting better every week and local rooters are being given amateur ball equal to quality to many Threebase hits: Bowman. Sa Duniwa: by off Bow- Double-plays, Hit by pitched games that are seen in the minor leagues. The pitching of Bill Ray, fornter Casper high school athlete, and a southpaw with considerable more contro] than most left handers have, was the feature of the Standard's win. Ray let the Legion batters down with four scattered hits and they are supposed to have the heav- iest hitting outfit in the league. He had 13 strikeouts to his credit and would have scored a shutout with a little better support. Greenstein pitched a nice heady game for the Legion after the first inning and was given good support. He held the Standard to eight hits. The Standard scored twice in the first inning with four hits the fea- ture of the scoring. The rally was cut short by a snappy double play. Several threatened Standard scores in the fifth were stopped by Snappy playing on the part of the Legion men. Skeets Walker pegged in from center and caught Andy McNeil standing up coming into the plate. This was followed by a bare handed stop by Merrill that brought plenty of applause. In the sixth the Standard scored their third and last run on a pass, a stolen base, an error and a single. Errors by Lano and Varnadore, followed by a single and McNelll's boot allowed the one Legion raan to Score in the fourth. A fast play from pitcher to second nipped Woodward at second in this frame and prevented further damage. After Struck got on via a mis- play in the sixth, he worked around on a Standard boot. He was thrown out at the platter by Scott's fine Peg. Then with a man on second and another on third, Woodward hit sharply to Matthews, and was out at first. The Elks-Lavoye game was full of action, the improved quality of playing by the Elks being the fea- ture of the afternoon. Bowmam put out a fine brand of pitching and was ably supported by Don Thomp- son, the Elks' new pitcher. Bow- man had eight strikeouts and was backed up with clean, fast play. wman, Thompson and Moore led the batting for the winners, the former getting three safe blows and the latter two getting « pair each, Davis pitched fine ball for La- voye, and with better support might have won. Kuhn at third starred in the field for Lavoye, spearing two fouls, and completing a double play unassisted when he grabbed Quin- lan's line that looked good for two bags in the second. Morgan and Beardsley were the heavy hitters for the visitors, Two of the thres Lavoye errors helped the Elks to victory. ‘The box score of the game— Elks. Players. AB. R.

Nationals, having found themselves golng into the campaign of the Nationals with too many cripples and too little reserve strength have wisely added power from the outside, Harper has been traded for Walk- er of the Phillies, a move that was meant to add to the batting strength of the Reds and Minneapolis has been induced to transfer Critz, a second baseman in the American outfielder. Shorten already has had some major league experience. He 1s fot a hard batter but he is a mighty intelligent batter and he is a good outfielder. Critz is not the best Second basema nin the American Association, nor is he the Worst. He will give the Cincinnatt team confidence, because there is a deep feeling that when Bohne makes an error it is a very costly affair and the crowds have not always been kind to him. Bohne has been un- fortunate in making misplays in games that were vital to the suoc- cess of the Reds and a player who has that kind of luck always finds some of the fans hostile. Cincinnati has had pretty bad luck with its players this year, so far as injuries are concerned. The team seemed I{kely, for once, to be able for once to put its full strength in the field from the start of the year with Roush beginning the season, instead of starting at- ter it was two or three weeks old. But Roush was injured and the Reds were further handicapped by the loss of further injured players, wluHscococcoot Stolen bases. Madden, Bible, Scott, Philmin, Fitt.

Attendance 1,100, Griffen, CINCINNATI ADDS PLAYERS TO BOLSTER UP TEAM'S STRENGTH so they have not syuared off for a steady fight, although they have been doing better than in other years, The Reds cast covetous eyes in the direciton of Indianapolis earlier in the season and the fact that they could not heip there, but were compelled to turn to Minneapolis, Indicates what has long been sus- pected, that Brooklyn has first claim on Indlanapolis, and that In- dianapolis will not weaken its team until assured it cannot win the American-Association championship. Cincinnati determination strengthen and to do s0 as soon as possible, is in line with the pol- icy of the team, which is based on the theory that this is the golden year to defeat the Giants, tf that club ever is to be ousted from the championship. The double defeat of Brooklyn by the Giants was a tough blow ta Robbie's men who belleved they were strong enough to overcome the New York crowd and figured on being as good as runner-up at the end of the season. ‘The Giants are starting to hold their ow nagain in the champion. ship race by their ability to defeat the Eastern teams. Their constant success in that respect in past years has been one of the big factors in winning them so many champion- ships. Between the leads of McManus and the falling off in betting by Sisler, the St. Louls Browns are not progressing as they were. The Browns are” having their troubles with the Western clubs. There is yet to rise a team in the West that looks stdble enough to make an ir resistible bid for the league leader ship in the American. Additional Page 1 0 1200 per minute —WHY?
