Copyright, 1924,The Casper Tribune NEW YORK, June 14.—The championshis races in both the big leagues are tightening up this year, which means that the other teams are closer on the heels of the New York aggregations. In the American league, the race Pas tightened by some 43 points. Between first place and last place at this time last season, there was a difference of some 230 pionts. To- day, the difference is 187. In the National league, the race is 182 points closer. That is, there were 430 points in the percentage column between the leading Giants and the lowly Phils, whereas now the distance from top to bottom of the league is only 248 points. True, if the Giants finish again in first place, that is all they ask and if the Phils finish again in last place, it makes little difference to them whether they are a hundred or five hundred points from the lead- ers. But in reality, the figures show that the other clubs have been gaining on New York and since that is what everybody outside of New York wants to see, most of the folks should be happy. The Giants are more than 11 games closer to the rear guard than they were in 1923 at this time. The Yanks are some five games closer to the bottom than they were last year and they are not playing the same kind of ball they played then, They have been hampered by in- juries to players but that-is not the only reason they have been losing baseball games. ting the ball. Meusel {s holding the team up a@ lot this year, but the western pitchers havs been keeping him to one hit a game or less for the past week and the rest of the team have not been much better than Meuse). The real batting in the American league has been done by Cleveland, who have been aver- aging about 10 hits a game. If the Indians ever got any sort of pitch. ing with that kind of batting, they would rise out of the second = di- vision. Speaker finally made up his mind to let Guy Morton go, Morton had been with Cleveland since 1914. Per- haps no pitcher ever kept a man- ager more. on tenterhooks than Mor- ton has. One day he would look like the best pitcher in the league and the next day like the worst. He was always promising. He is yet, for that matter, and he may turn out to be a howling success tn the Ameri- can association. Perhaps that is where he belongs. The best year Morton ever had with Cleveland, ho finished with a winning percentage of 727 but that year he won only 8 games and lost three. That was in 1821. In 1919 he won 18 and lost 6. In 1920 when Cleveland won the champtonship, he won 8 and lost 6, There isn't enough to a pitcher who can do no more than that. A pitcher must be able to get into more games than that and to win at least 625 if he is to be ranked as a to-notcher. Speaker stuck to him and hoped for the best long enough. There need be no surprise if he does They are not hit- well there. U.S. RANKS HIGH IN OLYMPIC POLO By PERCY M. SARL (United Press Staff Correspondent) LONDON, June 14.—It ‘looks like the finals for the Olympic polo championship will the United States, Agentina and Great Britain. Such {s the impres- sion gained from talks with the leading players of these countries, now in England for practice and sharpening-up with a view to tri- umph at Paris. British, Argentina and American Players are not greatly worried about possible French, Spanish, or other opponents. They have their eyes on each other. antain, is quietly confident of beat ne England—if Argentina :neets them—but is not quite sure about America. The reason that Nelson is doubt ful about America is that there is somewhat of an “if” about Argen tina and Great Britain. ‘There is apparently none about the United States team. The present Argentina team is of an experimental character, as the members had not, prior to arrival in England played together as a team. As regards ponies, no fears are entertained, for Jack Nelson told me that his string of 33 animals is far superior to those brought over for the matches with England last year. As regards individual players, Nelson i culte satisfied. A. Kenny, the Argentine No, 1, is a magnifi- cent player and one of tho best amateur jockeys in the southern republic. Kenny was unable to make the voyage last year and the “Big Four". earned international fame. Unfortunately for Argentina only two of them are left to contest the Olympic championship, At the last moment David Miles was un- able to make the journey, and La- cey is barred, under Olympic rules, owing ta not having been born in the Argentine—actually he was born in Canada, I believe. Argep- tina’s bad luck will probably prove Englands fortune, for Lacey, not wishing to drop out of international polo, has intimated his readiness to accept selection for the British team which will visit America in September to fight for the interna tional cup. His selection is almost a forgone conclusion. Reverting to the Argentine team David Miles’ absence may not be an insurmountable difficulty, for will necessitate Jack Miles playing No. 3, and Captain Nelson says that is really his proper position. For the important position of “back” the be confined to} Argentinians have Captain Padilla, a player who in early practice Imatches earned golden opinions here. Captain Nelson plays No, ‘The reserve will be Brooke Naylor. The United States lineup will be: “Tommy” Hitchcock, of the Aiken Polo club; Rodman Wanamaker, Bryn Mawr Polo Club; J. Boeseke, Jr., Sana Barbara Polo club; Frede- rick Roe, Bryn Mawr Polo club; re- serve, George Moore, Santa Barbara Club. Hitcheock is recognized as one of the best men playing today. His lightning dashes up the field in the famous Milburn team which won the Westchester Cup from England a couple of pears ago are still re- membered ,here with painful admir- ation, Rodman Wanamaker {s fairly well known here, and is classed as “plus 6” under British rules. 1 personally think his handicap will be largely increased before this season is end ed. At present, one cannot say that the United States team compares with the “Big Four” which won the Westchester Cup, but they are fine players and well mounted. Hitch: cock himself might win any match. ‘The “if” about the British team fs the ponies. England has been des- perately collecting ponies for the past few years, and some of the best are being reserved for the all-im- portant matches at Meadowbrook. As regards the riders, England has little to worry about beyond the difficulty of selecting four men from a pcasible eight or ten. Eng: land's leading candidates are Lord Wodeho the Marquis of Chol- mondeley, Major T. Kirkwood, Ma- jor F. W. Barrett, Major Phipps Hornby, Major Hurnsdall, Wing: Commander P, K. Wise, Lieutenant- Colonel Melville, Major Atkinson and Major Vivian Lockett. Games Today National League. Chicago at Boston. Cincinnati at New York. St. Louis at Brooklyn. Pittsburgh at Philadelphia.
