Aggressive Wh CLUB PLAYING FAST GAME | UNDER COLLINS’ GUIDANCE . : [ Good Pitching, Timely Hitting and Sturdy Defense Make Chicago Team Difficult to Beat—Davis Bolstering Infield Considerably. BY STANLI Manager and Second Bnseman, World Champlon Washington Club. ( :LF.\'LLAND. May 16.—The W! over the 1924 combination. to date, as if the Chicago en slow up a bit as the race advances, any one ot beat right down to the e They showed their strength against us in our first series in the West. We were hitting the ball well, and good enough to get an_even break playing at top speed. They are ge v hitting and are showing exce ation makes for a winning club. The Chicago players are displaying great spirit and hustle. They never seem to know when they are licked. With such an attitude they are likely to bob up at any time and put on a batting rally that will drive even a star pitcher to the showers. You can tab the White Sox right now as a mighty dangerous club. Has Men on Toes. lddie Collins has the boys on their at all times. They are certainly their heads off for the new manager. Bddie deserves all the credit in the world for the fine early season showing of the Chicago com- bination. His leadershin has been inspiring, a fact which is shown in the standing of the club: It doesn't seem necessary to go be- yond Collins for the answer to the tmprovement shown by the White Sox. The club’is practically the same as that which failed to get anywhere last season. The Sox went from bad to worse in 1924 and wound up the campaign in the cellar. But for all that they were a hard outfit to beat last year. However, they didn't seem able to get the win- ning habit. That is something the: certainly have shown in their early season games this year. Collins has instilled confidence, fighting spirit and the winning habit in them. If the latest addition to the ranks of the American League managers i able to get a good brand of pitching from his flingfng corps he will have a formidable outfit and one which will demand serious consideration in the disposition of the championship flag. If the pitchers sag badly Collins will be up against the same problem which confronts any manager when his husl- ers are unable to hold the enem) Collins has what should prove a workmanlike pitching staff, he has a most excellent infield, a ha -hitting outfield and plenty of offensive strength. Ike Davis, the newcomer in’ the go infleld, has got off tora fine start. If he maintains his present pace the Sox will show an improved inner defense. Our pitchers have shown un we far on the Western trip. [ w well satisfied if they retain present form. The veterans have cer tainly lived up to expectations. The fact that they have been able to show to such great advantage befos the warm weather sets in should indicate they will do much better whea Sum- mer really arrives. Johnson in Good Form. Walter Johnson seems destined to have another great year. He showed a sterling performance in Chicago when he shut the S and let them down with onl =. Barring the unexpected, he will win as many games as he did last season. He is off to such a zood start that he m: do_even better, Ruether and bi: Coveleskie, the vet- erans added to our pitching roster, have shown their worth so far. They are going to win plenty of games be- tween them. Taken all in all, it doesn’t seem as if W be up against any problems this season. hletics certainly got off t on their Western inv. re playing tip-top base 1 wrote before, are a most dangerous combination. They are setting the fastest pace of any Philadelphia club since Connie Mack i his old championship combina- tipn in uniform Tt begins to look as if the Yankee: are in for a long. hard, uphill fight if they are to get anywhere. They have gone from bad to worse since they began their invasion of this sec- tion of the country. They are in a bad slump and don't seem able to shake it off. Babe Ruth will be back in the line- up soon, however, I understand. His return_should do much to start the Jew Yorkers on their winning way. Their pitchers haven't been doing their best work when the hitters have been active, or_it has been the other way around. Unless the Yanks strike & winning stride soon they will be pretty well out of the running for ‘ the pennant.

ON COOPER SPEEDILY By the Associated Press, SAN FRANCISCO, May 16.—Micky Walker, welterweight champion boxer, knocked out Lefty Cooper of Minne- apolis in the first round of a scheduled 10-round bout in an outdoor card here this afternoon. Lefty did not have a look-in, though he tried gamely. Mickey, wading in Dempsey-like, floored the challenger quick Cooper got up at the count of nine and rushed into the cham- pion. ‘Walker sent in another series of terrific jolts to the face, adding a right hook, under which Cooper fell |again. He ‘was trying to rise at the count of 10, and there were boos from the ringside when Larry McGrath, the referee, raised Walker's hand. The title was not involved, both men weighing over the weltherweight limit. Cooper, 154; Walker, 153. TEAMS BATTLE TO A TIE IN THE BANKERS’ LEAGUE . H.

Dur- ing the last couple of days many of them were seen making their way up-stream and none have been seen returning. The continued cold weather has re- tarded the biting of the salt-water fish. Plenty of rockfish and hard- heads have been emaight in the nets, but comparatively few with hook and line. However, a few days of warm weather will change this state of af- fairs. ‘The fish raised by the Bureau of Fisherles for distribution {n the vari- ous streams and rivers of the United States may be saild to be ‘feted" during their sojourn In captivity, ane their change of diet when Iliberats must set them wondering. According to Glen C. Leach, assist- ant in charge of the Division of Fish Culture of the Fish Commission, in his pamphlet on propagation and distri- bution of food fishes, very startling information is given as to the meat required by the 35 main stations and 40 substations of the bureau to feed the denizens of the deep. In_thefr natural habitat the fch- thyological diet of these fish covers a wide variety, some eating anything that happens to come along, others lving on a microscopic diet, the mi- nute particles of food carried to and fro by the tide, and others might be called vegetarians. But the bureau puts them on a more- or less strictly meat diet, as will be shown by the followingy During the year 1924 the bureau ordered and fed to the fishes 60,040 pounds of beef hearts, 30,2881 pounds of beef liver and 16,562 pounds of beef spleen. - . Next in line comes sheep, who com- tributes his share in giving 57,189 pounds of his liver to help feed the fish, and then to show his liking for the hog, the fi required 11,987 pounds of liver anll 5,088 pounds of hearts had to be secured for them. Evidently some of the fish were not so particular, because 137 pounds of horse meat was also included in their menu. Then, to show the fastidicusness of some of the fish being raised by the ‘bureau, an order had to be placed for 22,085 pounds of a Jlow-grade flour, 7,220 pounds of cereals, and for the can among them, it required 66,276° pounds of fish. And Jast, but not least, the burean, like - every . regulated. home, -has on hand a small amount of ced liver ofl, if any of the fish. show symptoms of having eaten too much und gets pains | oy wate. ROD AND STREAM BY PERRY MILLER. T is reported that with the clearing of the Potomac River a great many Reynolds, who keeps well posted on all activities along the water front, said these rockfish were of the pan size, ranging from 1 to 1% pounds. Only a few perch were caught active. through the careful handling and at- tention of the bureau, they are ready to be distributed. The bureau ap- portions its annual output of trouts, basses, sunfishes, crappies and cat- fishes to applicants whose requests are on file at the beginning of the dis- tribution periods, giving special at- tention to requests that have been cartied over from previous years. The number of fish that can be furnished for a body of water depends on the output of the bureau’s hatch- eries, the size of the fish at the time of shipment and the number of an- plications the bureau is required to fill. The customary allotment is from 1,000 to 5,000 fry, or from 300 to 300 3-inch fish. Trout. are distributed during May and June in the Eastern and Middle ‘Western States and in the Rocky Mountain region from July to Oc- tober. Warm water fishes, including bass, crapple and bream, are distri- buted from May to October. In July, 1928, the bureau adopted a new type of transportation pail made of aluminum. This pail, which welghs less than 45 pounds when filled, will as many fish as did the old type of can, and, instead of loading a car with 108 of the old type can, 160 palls of the type adopted are now loided in a car. This adoption bhas also resulted in a saving to the bureau of approximately $6,000 a year, thus enabling it to greatly ex- tend its distribution work and at the same time keep within the limits of {ts_appropriation.

Brooklyn and Washington are playing pretty .close to form. The early winning surprises are Cleve- land, the Athletics, the Reds and the White Sox. Big Job for Yankees. The biggest losing upset, of course, has been the Yanks. It seems al- most incredible that a club with thelr natural strength should get away 8o badly. They are up against 4 hard proposition—at least seven games behind where they should be. To overcome that even when Ruth returns is extremely difficult. No- body knows that better than myself. The team misses Ruth outside of his hitting because his absence gives opposing pitchers more confidence about putting runners on the bases. With Ruth’s bat there as a constant threat it was quite a different thing. A few years ago the Giants had an upset like that of the Yanks and Jost 11 of the first 13 games. It was three or four weeks before we struck our natural gait. To illustrate what that early loss meant we had two winning streaks later on in the season that were extraordinary. We won 26 straight games in one spurt and soon afterward had a string of 17 straight wins. Even at that we could never overcome that early loss of 11 games out of 13, and were beaten out at the finish by Brooklyn. Games e in the Spring count just as heavily as they do in the Fall, but players do not realize it at the time. Neither do the fans. From now on the Yanks must play at a record pace to get back where they belong. Detroit, another contender, ia just about as badly off, Though this is hard on both clubs, it will tend to make the race much closer at the finish. Thinks A’s Too Slow. Iin my judgment, the Athletics are playing ahead of their speed. Every- body, I think, is glad to see Connie Mack develop another fighting ball club. I certainly am, but the machine isn’t exactly right yet. The one drawback to their chances of a pennant this year is lack of speed. The A’s are getting good pitching, and the batters are cracking the ball hard, but the machine as a whole is slo and cumbersome. Very few slow teams ever won a championship. The Reds, despite their fallure to get certain players that they wanted and who were badly needed, have de- veloped the fighting spirit and are going right ahead. If Bressler con- tinues to improve at first, Cincinnati is bound to be a thorn in the side of all teams throughout the season. Their pitching is excellent; is carrying them along in a smooth way. The bright spots in the Natlonal League are the Braves and the Phil- les. Instead of being clubs for the others to pick on, the worm has turned and they are now causing every pitch- er in the league heart disease toward the finish of close games. Three-run leads mean nothing to those fellows, whether in front or behind. The thing that counts most in a pennant fight is what we base ball people call the ninth-inning spirit. The Glants have developed it early this year, and the Phillies and Reds also are confident up to the retirement of the last man. Had you noticed how |Collins has developed that ninth-inning fighting spirit in the White Sox? Brooklyn also is coming from behind nearly every day or two. Believes Griffs Steady. If you will analyze the standing of the ci@bs closely you should be struck by the"pace of the Nationals and the Glants. Both of those clubs are play- ing at the gait that was, predicted for them. To, win, Washington should have a percentage of about .650, and the Giants figure about the same. The Giants are just a little ahead of that, ‘while the Nationals are almost exact- ly in their stride. They will probably .| stick to that kind of playing, while the others go up and down. If they do, nobody can beat them. With the Yanks in hard luck this Spring, the Nationals ought to be winners. The steadiness of their attack and defense is to be the feature of the Spring. The steadiness of the Glant pitching is . |another outstanding ~ feature.

JOS. A R E L T AL L Cor. 8th.and McGraw Says EXPECTS BATTLE IN JUNE DURING WESTERN SWING First General Trial of Strength Between Sections Has« Proved That Final Argument Will Not Be Limited to Particular Territory. BY JOHN J. McGRAW, Manager, New York Giants. HE first general trial of strength between the Eastern and Western clubs of the major base ball leagues has proved rather conclusivelv that the final big fight will not be limited to any particular sectior a most satisfactory situation for the good of the sport. This Spring the strength appears to be more evenly distributed than At least two clubs in each section and ir league_have a chance. The Giants are away to a bigger lead than some cach quite well what a fight we hav on The coming warm months may split the contenders out, but right now there are no easy pickings from the top to the bottom In the West, I had expected the Pirates to be in the present’ position of either the Cubs or the Reds, and I still think they will be there opinion, the Pittsburgh outfit is naturally stronger than either Chicago or Cintinnati, but it will have to settle down to quickly overcome the Fans had quite a shock a week ago to see the | Yanks at the tail end of their respective leagues. i In bad Pirates and the Despite that, | before our club was hitting up tc standard the pitchers were carr: the burden with ease Tt has been a severe disappointn to me to be laid up with ill this early fight is on, 1 an unusual chance to s tion from a distanc bed.

I am not discounti unexpected strength shown Reds, the Cubs, the’ White Cleveland I was unable to see the Cardin play, but our plavers tell me that gave.us a tough fight. Come to thinic of it, we've had a tough fight eve where. When we start West month it's likely to be tougher Better Minor Clubs. Another thing T have noted interest is the strength of the c AA and class A minor leagues difference between them and leaguers is not nearly so wide as | was a few vears ago. Base ball in terest has grown so in the minor league cities that the fans are manding better base ball an porting it. This interest h the competition until only is_satisfactory. This, I think, will explain why it i that so many plavers, espectally pitchers, have come direct from tha minors to start in the big leagus races without any preliminaries. They have stepped right in and are winning ball games just as if they had been in the major leagues all their lives This has served to get the fans of the minor leagues interested directly in the games of the majors and also has kept the big league fans watch- Ing the minors. That is a great thing for base ball. It also helps to solve the problem as to where the futurs stars are to come from. Class AA now is the graduating class In base ball and the major league is the post- graduate course. That is about the difference. (Copyright, 19!
