SS BEHIND THE SCOREBOARD Seven home runs sailed out of ma- jor league parks yesterday, three in the American and four in the Nat- ional. Four of them were knocked by St..Louls hitters with Rogers Horns- by of the Cardinale accounting for two. The American League's homers were made by Williams, St. Louis; Miller, Philadelphia and Mos’ Chi- cago. The round trips in the Nat- jonal were made by Bottomley and Hornsby, St. Louls and Fournier, of Brooklyn, George Sisler, St. Louis Browns, is well on the way toward equalling if.mot exceeding his record of having batted safely in 42 consecutive A single today in the game with the Sox, made the eighteenth consecutive game in which George had hit safely this sea- son, Duteh Reuther, former National League hurler was largely respon- sible for the victory of the Washing- ton Senators over the Boston yester- day.

Pew persons outside of Portland, Ore., and the Athletic offices had heard much about him when he stepped to the plate the afternoon of opening day and socked out a home run and two singles, The public still knew little about him wheu ie had collected a batting average of .535 in the first five games by socking out nine hits in 17 trips to the plate. Meanwhile Jimmy was: laughing up what sleeve there was to his big league uniform. Up to the day Hauser was injured Poole was figuring on remaining out of baseball this year. He had had a run-in with the Portland officials and, in preferenca to standing for a fie Imposed; was going to stay right at home in Winston-Salem, N. C., until the matter: was straightened out. When Connie sent out an 8; O, S. for a first sacker the Portland club was glad to dispose of him, And Poole's presence. in-the south enabled him to report within 24 hours instead of consuming several days in making a trans-continental trip. In antielpation of playing some place, however, Poole had been work- ing out daily near his home and was in falr condition when he reported. At least his batting eye was in falrly good shape, Mack gave Portland two players for Poole. Pitcher Meeker and Out- fielder Bagwell were the, two. Meek: er ought to add &tdength to the Portland pitehing staff with his southpaw shoots, and Bagwell can sock the ball. So the deal was a sat: isfactory one all around, And the interesting part of it is that when Hauser ts ready to re- sume his place in the Hneup Connie will be faced with the problem of finding some way of keeping the best litter he now has in uniform, Which makes things more inyoly- ed, as the scientists say Yesterday’s Scores American League, Philadelphia, 1; New York, 0 St, Louis, 3; Chicago, ?

(Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, May 4,.—If Owen Carroll, that’ remarkable young picther of Holy.

He signed with the owners of that club when he was not as’ good a pitcher as he {6 now, although’ he, gave womise then. of becoming a great riteher. Recently it was reported that Car- ‘ol! had applied to Baseball Commis: sioner Landis to be relievde of the sreement he had entered into with Detroit. .It-also had been reported hat Carroll: would not play profes- ional basebal] when: he finished’ col- ‘exe but. would go to some team in New England which has» nothing to 1o with professiona} baseball, But the »general opinion among dseball men {ip that Commissioner andis would not grant such a re quest as Caroll 4s reported to have nade-and the Detroit management ts confident Carroll will “not decide to forego the''call of the big leagues | altogether.

AMERICANS IN JUNE YOURE Pao “To SEE ‘EM RIGHT AND _ COLLEGE STAR he would not leave college until he had completed his work. there. Of course, the fact that Carroll has been on the reserve list of a major league club for two years brings up the point as to what ama- teur baseball meang in college. The laxity of the regulations gov- erning college baseball and the whole misunderstanding of so-called sum: mer baseball is one of the worst evils College athletes have to face, Also it has a bad effect on other college sports, It has happened on more than one occasion that a college player, not wishing to jeopardize his standing on his school team, has entered a private agreement with a big league club to join tt. It also has happened more than once that he has sought to get out of that agreement later, when some other club came along and offered him more advantageous terms. If there was no official regis- tration of his intention to enter pro- fessional baseball, the olub which was struck for a higher bonus or @ release, frequently haa had to con: cede something or lose the player. Of course, the situation did not exist in Carroll's case. He tied him- self up with the Tigers in a legal way and he couldn't get away from Detroit and stay In organized base- ball without thelr consent even if he wanted to. Another college player expected to report to the big leagues in June is Farrell, of the University of Penn: syivania, “He ts on the reserve list of the Giants, Of the two, Carroll undoubtedly {s the better. Carroll has “heen letting his college oppo- nents down with about five hits per game and has batted remarkably well. There has been no college J.P. GOLDEN WINS FIRST GOLF TOURNEY: S. H.
