BY WALTER TRUMBULL. HERE is an old saying that good things come in threes. Pytha- goras called three the erfect number. The lyre of Hermes had three strings; the shamrock has three leaves. A batter is permitted three strikes. Let us continue this matter of triplets. Clark Griffith has said that the three best outfielders he ever saw were Cobb, Ruth and Speaker; the three best inflelders, Wagner, joi d Gehrig. La]o}l‘bg‘leve ;k‘:atg the three hardest left-hand batsmen I ever have seen are Cobb, Ruth and Gehrll,g The three best right-hand hitters are Wagner, Lazcie and Hornsby. Ansgon. Burk}tl. Ed Delehanty, Duffy, McGraw, Kelley, Keeler,| Brouthers, or some of the old-timers, such as Ross Barnes, may have been better than some named, but some of them I never saw and The men I have others I saw when they were past their prime. named are the best I remember. The three greatest right-hand pitchers I ever saw were Mathew- son, Alexander and Walter John- son. The three best left-handers were Waddell, Marquard and Pen- nock. Schupp was the greatest pitcher of the lot for a single sea- son. Many persons would substi- tute Young, Ed Walsh, Keefe, Vance, Bender, Rusie, Plank, White, Wiltse, McGinnity, Wood, Reuhlbach, or scme other for one of those named. Some Mighty Records. 1t is just & matter of opinion. Young pitched 22 years. He won 20 or more games in 14 consecutive seasons. In 1908, Ed Walsh pitched in 66 games. He worked 464 innings and in one game struck out 15 men. Matty pitched 17 years, in which time he won 372 games and struck out 2,207 batters. One season he won 37 games. One season he pitched 416 innings. One season he pitched 57 consecutive innings without giving a base on balls. Walter Johnson pitched 21 years of big league ball. He worked in 802 games and won 416. He struck out 3,497 batters, leading his league in SALO CUTS GAVUZZI'S LEAD IN BUNION RACE SAFFORD, Ariz, June 1 P®.— Johnny Salo, Passaic, N. J,, policeman, slashed the lead of Pete Gavuzzi of | England to 47 seconds at the conclusion derby. Salo was tied for second in the run of 43.4 miles from Duncan, Ariz, | to Safford, with Paul Simpson of Bur- lington, N. C., in 5:37:07. Gavuzzi was fourth today in 5:57:28, 20 minutes and 23 seconds behind the leaders. His lead before the start of the lap was 21 minutes 10 seeonds. ‘The small difference in the time is all the more remarkable in consideration of the fact that the runners today had completed 2,883.4 miles of their journey to_the Pacific Coast. Today's lap was won by Sam Rich- man of New York in 5:18:10, but he |15 in fifth place in elapsed time. The run today was made over the high Ash of the sixty-third lap of the bunion | strike-outs for eight years in succes- | Peak Mountains in a broiling sun. sion and for a total of 12 years. In ! one game he struck out six men in succession. In 1912 he won 16 games in a row. Six seasons he led all pitch- ers of his league in games won. He pitched 113 shut-out games, not count- ing one in a world's series. One year he pitched three shut-out games in four days. In 1913 he pitched 56 con- secutive shut-out innings. Grover Cleveland Alexander started his big league career in 1911, so0 this is his nineteenth year of service. Six sea- sons he led the National League in strike-outs. Six years he led his league in games won. Only Walter Johnson has pitched more shut-out games. In 1916 he pitched 16 games in which no opponent crossed the plate. Three Great Southpaws. Give me these three right-handers in their prime and I'd have the, nucleus of a fair pitching staff. Add the three southpaws, Waddell, Marquard and Pennock, put a flelding team behind them, and you wouldnt need many sluggers to win ball games. But you would need catchers. In | condition, Larry McLean was as good a catcher as I ever saw, but Larry was an irresponsible. For steady work you could hardly do better than Bresnahan, Kling and Archer. ‘The three most valuable first base- men in the majors today probably are Gehrig, Bottomley and Terry. At sec- ond, most fans probably would select | Hornsby, Prisch and Lazzeri. Some might favor Gehringer just now. I imagine most managers would like to take thelr pick from Traynor, Foxx and High at third, although some might pick Kamm, Lindstrom would round out the trio for some, even though he hasn't been hitting. Jackson, Bartell and Schuble might do for shortstops, although there would be lots of discussion regarding value here. Ruth, Simmons and Goslin probably would pull a strong outfleld vote, but Paul Waner would have plenty of support. Cochrane, O'Farrell and Gooch would make a comfortable catching staff, and Grimes, Uhle and Grove ap- pear to be highly useful pitchers. (Copyright, 1929, by North American News- Daper Alliance.) REDS COME TO LIFE T0 BEAT BRAVES, 3-2 By the Associated Press. CINCINNATI, June 1.—The Reds de- feated the Braves, 3 to, 2, here today. Ash and May having an edge the bet- ter over Smith in a pitching battle. The victory was only the second for the Reds in their last 16 games. May relieved Ash during the seventh and ceived credit for the victory. The winning run came in the eighth. Smith walked, Dressen and Allen scored the third baseman with a double. Smith held the Reds scoreless until the fifth. Boston i 'AMERICAN. CLUB BATTING. AB. R . 280 55 198 165 209 Club, Philadelphia Detroit . St Louls P TE sazesass! SeS5uEEsE 168 178 122 CLUB FIELDING.

June 1-—Bob Lyons, Washington southpaw, who is | pitching for Clarksburg in the Middle Atlantic League, is well on the road to| fulfilling a prophecy made here recently | by Gerard Edwards, local base ball star, who is performing for the Wash- ington Union Printers. Edwards and “Chap” Marable, a former teammate and manager of the Clarksburg_nine, were viewing a game between St. Mary's Celtics and the Hagerstown Athletics several weeks ago and began discussing Lyons, whom Marable had signed for a trial.

Miller held the Boston team to two hits for seven innings, but weakened in the eighth and ninth. The Sox got two runs in the eighth. In the ninth singles by R.

Beaten repeatedly since the start of the season, Hadley is far from being iscouraged. Instead, he is eager to go to the firing line at every opportunity and Manager Walter Johnson is just as cager to provide the youngster with opportunitie: So Hadley, Who started and pitched through seven innings against the Yankees in the second game of the double-header here Memorial dav. will after two days of Test come back the fray this afternoon to open fire against the Browns. Al last Hadley is convinced he needs much toil to round him into good physi- cal trim for slabbing. For a time the chunky pitcher did little more than go through the motions of exereising in nis_workouts, even though when doing so he seemed to believe he really was exercising earnestly. Bui after lapsing frequently in the fourth or fifth innings of games Hadley realized all was not right with him. Now he wants work and plenty of it Manager ‘Johnsan, recently learning | of Hadley's dental trouble, has ad- vised the pitcher to have the two teeth said to be abscessed extracted. Walter thinks it might be well for Bump to | have one tooth taken out the day fol- lowing a pitching turn, take another turn on the hill as soon as his condi- | tion permits, then have the other molar vanked. Hadley is expected to follow this advice soon and If his dis- | eased teeth have had anything to do | into condition | with his failure to get { he should be in great trim for the last | half of the season. _ Manager Dan Howley of the Browns is expected to send Rip Collins or | George Blaeholder against the Nationals | today.

Willie Wolfe, who inflelds with Lem Owen’s pros here, and a pitcher, who for reasons of his own, would not re: 1 his identity. took part in the Washi ton drill before yesterday's game. Wil was out at Coach Milan’s invitation, get some exercise. More may be heard of the pitcher. Al Crowder, erstwhile National, who took a relief turn against his former club yesterday, had just rejoined the Browns after a week’s absence neede to nurse an infected little finger on his heaving hand. While the Browns were in Cleveland week before last, the digit was burned by a cigarette, putting Crow- der out of comi ion. So far as attendance is concerned, this has becn a big year for the Browns everywhere excepting Sportsman’s Park in St Louls, accompanying the ciub. Alréady they have drawn more in Cleveland and Detrolt than they drew in these cities all last season.

BOSTON, June 1.—With the major league base ball season scarcely more than six weeks under way. a change in | the management of the Boston Braves President Emil E. Fuchs, who caused something of a sensation in base ball circles when he announced after the Hornsby trade last season that he would undertake active management of the club, was reported to have offered the job to Johnny Evers, former big league star. Evers now is a Braves coach. Fuchs was understood to have talked the matter over with Evers by long dis- tance telephone, but the coach, now di- recting the tribal destinies in the Cin- cinnati series, was said to have been reluctant to change his status, although willing to continue to manage the club on_the road.
