Harris Has High Regard for Macks : Kentucky Derl SEES A.’S AS STURDY FOE IN FLAG FIGHT THIS YEAR| SET PACE AT TRAPS Champions’ Manager Admires Fine Hustling Spirit of Philadelphians—Believes Cochrane and Simmons Are Nearing Stardom. .BY STANLEY HARRIS. Manager and Second Baseinan, World Champion Washington Club, Y C HICAGO, May 9—The Athletics are the surprise of the early sea- son American League campaign. They played bang-up, good ball against the Eastern clubs and entered upon their Western in- vasion tied with us for first place. They got off to a similarly’good start last season, but faltered when the pace got hot. This year they appear a better-seasoned outfit and they should stay well up in the race. Connie Mack’s club has a fine hustling spirit. Fhat is worth a great deal’in base ball as well as in any other game, business or profession. The Mackmen also seem to have a stronger hitting and fielding combina- tion than was the case last season. They promise to give every ¢lub,in the league a hard battle in every series. Groves has been a big disappoint- ment to Philadelphia fans because of his failure to show top-notch box form in his early season starts. THere is 1no question that the former Baltimore star, for whom Mack pald such a big price, has a werld of speed. In fact, he is the speediest left-hander against whom I have ever batted. But, like many left-handers and speed-ball twirlers, he has been rather lacking in control so far. If he can overcome his wildness, he will be a tough man for any club to beat. Vew seasoned major league batters offer at bad balls consistently and the result is that a pitcher lacking in control has a hard time making good in the big show. S Groves also is in apparent need of more experience. This should come to him soon. If. when he obtains , he becomes a smart pitcher, can overcome his -wildness and stand the gaff of fighting, his way to the top, he should develop into one of the best pitchers in the league. He has, a great amount of natural ability. Poole, the Athletics’ new first base- man, got off to a good start. Mack was fortunate in getting him when Hauser was forced out of the game. I doubt if, in the long run of a season, Poole will prove as valuable as his predecessor, but I may be wrong in such a view. In any event, Poole is a mighty promising ball player and a handy man to have. The Athletics would hardly have started on their Western_trip so far up in the race but for Poole. Mack has made another great find in Cochrane, who has been bearing the brunt of the catching work. The best answer to Cochrane's ability ltes in the fact that Mack has benched Cy Perkins in favor of the newcomer. The latter has long been reckoned as one of the best back- stops in the majors. It speaks highly for Cochrane’s class that Perkins is side-tracked. Few men are better judges of a catcher than Mack He knows what he is doing in giving the newcomer such an opportunity. Coch- rane bas all the earmarks of a com- ing leading catcher: Simmons is another Philadelphia player who seems headed for stardom. He shows improvement in every game. Iven now he ranks with the pick of the outfielders in the American League. The balance of the club also shapes up well. Unless I miss my guess, the Athletics will be hard cus- t6mers for any man's club this season. Even though Groves, from whom much was expected, got off to & wretched start, battle their way through The first set of games with the Eastern clubs and emerge on the winning side. 1f they are as successful on their present Western trip they are likely to be yery much in the running right down to the finish. Washington is looking forward to a successful trip through the West. “There doesn’t seem any reason why we shouldn’t continue approximately the same pace we set against the Ydnkees, Red Sox and Athetics. we do as well as that on the present trip we should enter upon the mext home stand with a commanding lead. The Washington club will have to fight for everything it gets in the West. We are hardly likely to find as easy pickings as the Yankees out in this section. If we do I'll be agree- ably surprised. got off to slow starts, but Cleveland and Chicago have been playing bang- up base ball. The fine showing of the Indians and White Sox in the early season games |} has been as much of a surprise to their home followers as the poor show- ing of the Tygers and Browns has been to their adherents. However, they will all be doing their best to beat the world champions, so we know we have many a hard fight on our hands be- fore returning to Washington. (Copyright, 1925.)

T a recent meeting of the Washington Kennel Club Dr. William P. Collins, the president, submiitted for discussion the proposed law A which is intended to abolish The club voted against the measure. It reasoned that the dog is improved in appearance by such altering; that the animals are not hurt by the oper- ation, since they are etherized; that they do not' lose the use of any or- gans by the operation, and that they are more readily salable when so al- tered. ‘ ‘The result of this vote will be for- warded to the American Kennel Club. Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Tetreault have brought out a most attractive stud card for Fritz von Holz Eck, the head of their Clarendon kennel. A-study of this dog’s pedigres shows him to have 15 siegers (German grand cham- pions) in four generations, and several crosses in the blood of Horst von Boll, P. H., noted as a great producer, and as the grandsire of Strongheart, the motion picture dog. While a list of his winnings is not at hand, Fritz has placed well in Southern and East- ern shows at which he has been fear- lessly shown. Mrs. W. S. Hancock has re-estab- lished her kennel of Maltese terriers here in her new ‘home on Bradley road. This kennel -carries the prefix Karma, and.is one of the few in America devoted to the breeding of Kernodle: the docking and cropping of dogs. champion Newgoin Comixit, and” out of a daughter of Leach’s champion Arteslan Ensign, to Alf Delmont, a re- tired handler. Schwartz, who for- merly handled for Délmont, saw this youngster' at the Washington show and admired him very much. Short- ly after the show Sterling received an inquiry from Delmont as to the price of the dog, and afterward notification that the dog should be shipped. Harry A. Karr of Sandy Spring, Md., announces the -breeding of his shepherd bitch to George H. Kerno- dle's shepherd stud dog, Alf von der Lindenluft. Karr has returned to the game after an absence of about 1¢ years. He was formerly a bull ter- rier fancler, and at one time owned Roy Lavender, a well known bull ter- rier sire. JONES BACKS PLAN.

ROD AND STREAM BY PERRY MILLER. v LOCAL angler recently stated that.there is a lack of agreement among the followers of Izaak Walton as to the stocking of the Tidal Basin with young game fish. “The ‘project is backed by those who ought to know better, and'I am surprised at some of the let- ters that have been published,” this angler was quoted as saying. He bucks the opinion of such men as - Secretary of Commerce Hoover, Commissioner Henry O'Malley Of the Bureau_of Fisheries, Glen C. Leach, head of the department of flsh cul- ture of the bureau, and Col. Cla¥ence 0. Sherrill. These men have gone into the proposition thorotghly, and are convinced that it will be a mighty good thing for the city and for the Potomac surrounding _ Washington, although the angler will not be “in some quiet nook surrounded by islands, rippling, whirling pools, pro- jecting rocks, old stumps and ‘lily ds.”™ PThe stocking of the Tidal Basin will furnish the anglers of Washington with a mighty fine place to cast for bass and the. other game fish planted there. Any place where fish can be of dollars annually on fishing trips and return home practically empty- Not only will the stocking of the basin provide sport in that particular body of water, but the Potomac River also will receive the benefit, as thou- sands of the small ones will enter the Potomac* never to ‘return to: their matter of fact, the Bureau of s desires to make this body of water a breeding ground for the big-mouth bass of the Potomac in the vicinity of Washington. Even when the fish mature and are too large to get through the screens erected to prevent their escape, it is the- intention of Commissioner O’Mal- ley to allow & certain number of them to enter the Potomac each year, when the gates will be opened for this pur- pose. The protesting angler also opined that “I am sure that I express the true sentiments of every son of Izaak Walton by stating that these buss should not be imprisoned in the Tidal Basin. I doubt if there is one of the original lot left?there now.” The Bureau of Fisheries is of the opinion that the majority of the fish planted in_the basin are still there apd that they have bullt their nests and laid their spawn. In stocking the basin with fish se most ' interested are endeavor- the expenditure sof a considerable amount of money. And in stocking the basin, one of the main objects is. to '“inoculate the boy wWith the serum,” but instead of developing only “meat hunters,” it is-hoped that he will be taught fo be a real sports- man, “Meat hunters” will be nipped in the bud, as the regulations for fishing at the baain permit only the taking of three bass, three crapple or three sunfish in any one day.
