Fisher came here as base ball mentor from the pitching staff of the Cincin- nati Reds. “There is no doubt that a college graduate Wastes his time by entering professional base ball, uniess he is good enough for a trial in the big loagues,” Fisher said. ‘‘Professional base ball is a temporary proposition at_best Fisher added that the major leagues do not offer any opportunity for the average ball player and that college training’ {8 not of a nature to train the player for the professional pas- time.

The black son of Ballot-Bourbon Lass, carrying 100 pounds in the sleppy going, led Chacolet, Hal Price Headley's imported mare, to the wire by a length. Hopeless, coupled with Chacolet in the betting, finished third, a length behind. Chacolet, winner of the Dixie handieap at Pim- lieo last Saturday, carried top weight of 124 pounds. The Headley entry was the favorite. Five other thor- oughbreds also ran Chilhowee paid $8.20, $4 and $5.40 on a $2 mutuel ticket. Place paid $3.10 and the price was $3.20 to show. A large crowd igmored the dis- agveeable weather to witness the opening day's running. Hard rains recently and intermittent showers to- day had made the track muddy. Be- cause of this ocondition other derby eligibles entered for the Clark were withdrawn, leaving the Gallaher colt alone to show his derby wares. Several derby candidates, however, were entered in the fourth, the Falls City, for three-year-olds at a mile. King Gorin II, Peter Coyne's import- el coly won in 1.403-5, followed by Dudley and Dazaler, who finished sec- ond and _third, respectively. Col. Gilmore, J. T. Weavers well liked derby ocolt, was fourth. Withdrawal of Sarazen, St. James and ather outstanding derby eligibles, whioh recently has ohanged the aspect of the derby next Saturday, added interest to Chilhowee, who de- lighted his followers by his race. Moaonraker set the page, with Chil- howee forcing him until they reached the back stretch, when the black ocolt, with B. Harvey aboard, drew away to win easily.

NEW YORK, May 10.—The Ameri- can Olympie committee is so confident of the legality of the high jumping style of Hareld Osborme, world in- door record holder of the Illinois Ath- letic Club, that it has authorized slow-motion pietures to be taken of it and used as a means of instructing youthful eandidates.

' ANDIIMPEDE THE RUNNER ‘What are the advantages of hav- ing the spikes sharp or dull? Answered by JOE SEWELL, Shertstop, Cleveland Indiama: Rardest hitting shortstop lsugwe. Batted .353 last year. The spikes should always be kept sharp for several reasons: First, the spikes will not sink {nte the ground properly when ruaning if they are net sharp and will impede, Tather than help the runner. This 18 especially true when the field is dry hard Socond, when the eblyea there is a tendency for those e toe to turn the shoe up while 3 man is running and slow up bis progress or even trip him. Sometimes the argument is ad- vanced that a sharp spike is llable to injure a baseman when a runner slides. This is equally true of the ;fl‘u" spike and there is no more sk of injury with well sharpened platas than with the dull enes.

Tex Rickard announced today that he planned to stage a Renault-John- son match at the New York Velo- drome, his Harlem arena, probably middie of June. The victor of this contest. according to Rickard's plans, would oppose Harry Wills, giant negro, at Boyle's Thirty Acres in July for the right to step into the ring with Champion Jack Dempsey at the big pine bowl in September. This arrangement is contingent upon a vietory for Wills over Bartley Mad- den in thelr fifteen-n und match next Monday night at the Queensboro stadium. Johnson was knocked ont by Re- nault in_their last engagement, a furfous fifteen-round battle at Mad- isen Square Garden last November, but is confident he can turn the tables on_the Canadian slugger. Wills and Madden, meanwhile, have completed their training for Mon- day's go. The negro's hands, whose fragility have been a subject of con- siderable discussion. apparently are in good condition. With a title match in sight, Wills is determined to win deeisively, and critics believe he will, despite Madden's reputation fer rug- gedness.

ASHINGTON'S three leading sandlot leagues, Independent, Wash- ington-Maryland and Potomac, will stage sixteen games today, there being scheduled four contests in each of the first two mene tioned loops and eight in the other. It will be the second week for the league teamis and some keenly fought matches should be forthcoming, as the pilots have ironed out the rough spots in their combinations. Judging by the brand of ball produeed in the Independent Leagne las Sunday, there should be four well contested battles in the series today Waverly, Petworth, Shamrocks and the Dominican Lyceums were victor in the opening matches, but they probably will have to step lively to turn in wins again today.

After a somewhat discouraging start, the Marine nine suddenly found itself and recently has been overcoming all opposition. Not a game has been lost within a month by the Devildogs. During their winning streak they have vanquished such tedms as Virginia, Syracuse, West Virginia, North Carolina State and the speedy Pepsi Cola outfit of Richmond. The Marine-Nationals centest is to bo the main number of the fete planned to meet Washington's quota of the fund needed to defray the ex- penses of the United States team’s participation in the Olympie games in France this year. There will bo other attractions at the fete, and the base ball engagement is expected to be the climax of an eventful aftermoon, ‘This Marine team has been winning its games with top-heavy scores, due mainly fo awe-inspiring attacking ability.

The last men- tioned is the weakest hitter of this quartet, und he has an average of Jerry Sowers, shortstop, i the Babe Ruth of the aggregation. He has made a mark of .534 in nine games. His record for extra-base hits is most impressive. Sowers has alouted the ball for a_ dozen home rung, seven tripies and twenty-one doubles, a total of seventy-one extra bases. Reason also is a powerful slugger and lately has been batting at a.700 olip. The Marines also boast of a _good pitehing staff that includes Balis, ‘Watson, O'Neill, Perez, Abbett and Sanders. All are right-handers ex- rept Peres. The team is coached by Bart_ B.
