The stoam roller was well oiled and hit- ting on all twelve yesterday, Erick- son being bumped out of the picture in short order.

Franklin Baker greeted the senor with a long fly to Brower. which permitted Pipp to score, and Meusel registered on Ward's single to center. Jose then clamped the lid on for the two succeeding frames, but the Hugmen pried it off in the sixth, when another pass to Roth and singles by Peck, Ruth, Meusel and Baker accounted for three runs, and another marker was added in the hth on successive safeties by Ruth, ipp and Meusel. ek i AU, CAUGHT ON THE FLY fl _— Walter Johnson and Bill Piercy may ch up it second and final tilt of series thix afternoon.

OUTGUESSE N League for the Pittsburghs. and outmaneuvers all of his rivals. champions of the National League, pions when Gibson caught for them as they have this year. When you pause to think for a sec- ond or so that Pittsburgh has lost only three games in eighteen you get an idea of the teriffic pace which is be- ing tet for any other teams that aspire to be contenders. Robinson of the Brooklyns says that Pittsburgh's rush can't last. It would be too much to expect that it would. but neverthe- less the rival eastern managers shake their heads every time that they look at a Pittsburgh ninth inning and see that the Pirates have won another. Exeept for the fallure of the Yankees to act the part of the steam roller, the crashing fight of the Detroits is the big talk of base ball now and the most effective upset of the old dope propsition in 1921. Lots of fans and critics gave Ty's outfit a chance to vie with Chicago in the also ran class. Events shape themselves in odd ways. Ban Johnson would not have been president of the Western League the maiden class when he poled his first safety of the season past Pipp in the ninth on his eleventh legal turn t the plate. “Turkey” handled half a dezen flies in nice style, and displayed uffing Mays' to third on k's single in the s Although the outfield was quite diamond yesterday was fairly fast.

The diminutive Western League product had to prac- tically stand on his head half the time to glimpse what was going on in front of the bulky forms of Fred Hofrann and Pat Gharrity. Baker In a good soldier. With mates on first and second and nome out fn the eighth. he made every effort to had it_not been for a ball player's vote. Had Johnson lost out in that effort he might never have been presi- dent of the American League. The player who gave him the deciding vote was Larry Twitchell, then man- ager of the Milwaukee club. Twitchell | once had been a member of the Cleve- land Nationals and was prominent in the councils of the brotherhood which threatened and did try to knock down organized base ball. He is now a director in a Congrega- tional Church in Cleveland and had time enough to say recently that Ty Cobb {8 the ball player paramount. He calls attention to the fact that Johnson owes a lot to the player in the ranks. Detroit asked waivers on Hale. That kid made a pretty good record pinch hitting Jast year. The White Sox | wanted him and put in a claim. Down jcame the waiver. Detroit wanted to iput him with a minor league club. When a piteher is called lucky by carry out Huggins' order to bunt, and finally was rewarded with a pass. In- cidentally J. Franklin gave an ex- hibition of how third base should be played.

When first breaking in last year and in the world series he gave the ball a wrestling match almost every time that it came near him. For a kid he steadied quickly in fast company. First basemen are going big on as- sists this year. Ed Konetchy says the first sackers have to work “just like shortstops.” As a hitter, Cullap of the St. Louls Browns would make a good director of the opera. He knows how to wave a stick. Lee Fohl says that's what afls the Browns. They wave, but never swat. (Coryright, 1921.) s s S COLLEGE BASE BALL, Aubars, 12; Georgls, 4. Mercer, 14; South Carolina, 2. Newherry, 17; Charleston, 2.

Gardner made a home run with one on in the third inning. The Browns used five pitchers and i the Tigers three in the 11-to-7 melee won by the latter. The winners made seventeen safeties against thirteen for the Browns ler made a triple, double and two singles in five times at bat. Cobb got three in six trials, ki and Heilmann slammed a homer, dou- ble and single in four turns. Tilly Walker, Cy Perkins and Jimmy Dykes walloped home runs that help- ed the Macks drub the Red Sox, 10 to 6. The last named made his in the eighth inning when the A's broke a tie by chasing in four tallies. Russell was the victim of the onslaught. The Macks had to use three pitchers to check the Red Sox. PIRATES HUMBLE CARDS Sluggers held sway in the National League yesterday. Each of the win- | ning teams made “sixteen hits and each of the losers eleven in games in which the Pirates crushed the Cards and the Cubs toppled the Reds. It was the eighth straight win for the Pittsburgh outfit. The Cards employed four pitchers and the Pirates three, while the latter were winning, 10 to 6. Bigbee, Cut- shaw and Mokan made three safeties each for the Pirates. Mann clouted a trio of bingles for the losers. Twombley's single, Deal's sacrifice and Killefer's hit in the ninth pro- duced the run that gave the Cubs an 8-to-7 win over the Reds. Coumbe was the losing pitcher. Grimes did some heavy sitcking for the visitors. GIBSON, PIRATE LEADER, S HIS RIVALS BY JOHN B.

TITLE TO CENTRAL NINE Beats Tech in Decisive Contest of High School Base Ball Championship Series. Central athletes may not be super- stitious, but you cannot make Tech's tossers believe it. When the Manual Trainers reached Central Stadium yesterday for their high school cham- plonship series game, they proceeded to ‘take possession of the players’ bench at the west end of the fleld. Tech had occupied this seat when it vanquished Eastern and Business in titular contests. Central also wanted the bench and the teams decided to toss for it. Central won the toss and went on to the school championship by taking the 7-to-4 game. 1t was the last game for each of the teams involved and the fourth con- secutive victory for the Blue and White. During the series Central met with real opposition on two occasions, but steady pitching gave it the edge. The last game of the schedule will be played in Central Stadium next Tues- day, when Eastern and Business will battle to escape the cellar berth. Yesterday's engagement was a scoreless one through five innings, with Krupp of Central and Brayton of Tech pitching in great form. The Blue and White could not get 2 hit until the fourth inning and Tech managed to record a clout in the fifth. But the Manual Trainers' defense cracked in'the sixth, and after one man had been retired Central chased in four runs, with two walks and three singles, abetted by a brace of errors. One of the miscues lost a chance for a double play that would have retired the Blue and White without a run. Central mixed three doubles with an error in the seventh to get three more tallies. Tech broke into the scoring column in the eighth with three markers. Four passes and a couple of wild pitches by Krupp and Lemon's error were responsible. The Manual Trainers had an opportunity to count in the fifth, but went to sleep on the paths. Krupp held them to three hits while his mates battered Brayton for ten.

This afternoon Tilden, who took a brilliantly played 8—6 set from Wil- liams at the White House yesterday, will give his rival a chance to get even. Tilden and Johnson will oppose Williams and Washburn in the dou- bles. They mixed 'em up yesterday. First, Williams and Washburn took two sets from Tilden and Johnson, 6—1, 6—3. Then Tilden and Wil- liams took a set from Johnson and Washburn, 9—17. Have Real Battle. Tilden and Johmson fought a real battle before the champion won, but the racketers took it somewhat eas- ier in the doubles, although they pro- vided sufficient high-class tennis to keep the gallery enthused. Tilden won the toss in the main match and chose to serve. Then he and the former titleholder alter. nated in winning their service until the count stood 7—6 in favor of the tall Philadelphian. Tilden finally broke through to win the fourteenth game at although Williams made the most remarkable sort of a backhand drive return to deuce it when his opponent led at 40—30. The heavy and slippery court re- strained the players from going aft- er balls they might have returned, but with this exception they played hard tennis. Williams' work stood out. His service was accurate and fast, the first ball being good many times, and he aced Tilden on no less than half dozen occasions. In gener- al his play was more forceful and accurate than Tilden's or any other of the stars. Williams made more passing shots than Tilden, despite the fact that he was beaten and was the victim of the only love game. Half of the four- teen games were deuced, four of them twice. Tilden scored 54 points to 46 for Williams, as follows: Tiden ..4143644243445654—8 Williams 1415460415263 4—46—86 President Enjoys Matches. President Harding, who spent fully an hour watching the play, told the boys that he “thoroughly enjoved the high-class tennis” and thanked them for affording him the opportunity. He and Mrs. Harding frequently joined in applauding the good shota and she remained until the matches were completed. ' Laddie Boy, the President's Alredale, added to the sport by scampering un- | expectedly across the court with a tennis ball in his mouth. It was only in an- swer to the President's voice that he was induced to give up the ball and retire. George Christian, secretary to the President, who is somewhat of a tennis player, refereed the matches. He was assisted by Jullan S. Myrick of New York. president of the Na- tional Lawn Tennis Association, and Samuel Hardy, also from Gotham, who was captain of the Davis cup team which brought home the trophy from Australla. Dwight F. Davis, donor of the famous international cup, acted as one of the linesmen. C. Sheridan was the scorer. Other lines- men were Gen. W. A. Bethel, Arthur Hellen, H. E. Doyle, L. P. McLachlin, Maj. Arthur Yencken, Arthur Heaton, Herbert Shannon and Spencer Gor- don. A. Y.

The visitors lunched at Columbia Country Club prior to the matches this after- n oon. Tilden and Johnson were unable to stay over for contests at the Chevy Chase Club tomorrow. Tilden, who sails for Furope next Friday to de- fend his world title won at Wimble- don, England, last summer and to play in France, has many things to attend to before starting on his voy- age. ‘Vanlnml is No. 3 on the mnational ranking list and Johnson and Wash- burn aré well up among the first ten in the rating.

NEW YORK, May 7.—The United States Tennis Association has re- ceived word that Zengo Shimidzu, famous Japanese player, would com- pete in the Davis cup matches in the United States this summer. He expects to leave for this coun- try within two weeks, probably stop- ping in England to enter the Wim- bledon championships next month. With Shimidzu representing Japan, that nation will have onme of the strongest teams in the competition. Ichiya Kumagae doubtless will be Shimidzu's teammate. Their first op- ponent will be the team representing the Philippines, If they win that match, they will meet the winners of Czechoslovak-Belgian contest. Shimidzu's play in Europe last sea- son was a sensation. At Wimbledon he repeated previous successes at Beckenham, and started by defeating F. G. Lowe. Then he beat M. Mishu, Roumanian star, and Andre Gobert, famous Frenchman. After defeating Zerlendi, the Greek champion. he won from Mavrogordato, thus going into the final against Willlam T.
