4 THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, A APRIL 27, 1930—PART FIVE. First Ball Catch From Monument Is Disputed : Horsemen Flocking to Pimlico BASE BALL FANS STIRRED BY CREDIT GIVEN BAKER Cartoonist Dick Mansfield Starts an Argument With Claim Washington Man Made ‘“Momentary® Catch Quarter Century Before Street. BY R. D. THOMAS. ERE it comes!” “H object.

One man is apart from the others. eather’s mitt. necks crane and hands shield straining eyes. On his left hand is a bulky This is Phil Baker of the Washington National League Club, who, on this January day in 1885, is attempting a feat that some folk be- lieve is beyond the skill and strength if not the courage of any ball player. The powerful backstop is bent upon catching a ball thrown from the highest edifice in America, completed the previous year. And—— “Here it comes, Phil!” Hines, Yewell, Ryan — other members of the Washington club—shout the warning, but Phil robably doesn’t hear. His ball- awk eyes, too, have picked up the pellet now arching out into space and no man ever concen- trated more earnestly—optically, physically, mentally—than Phil Baker at this moment; for him a mistake may mean the end of all earthly things. Lurking in the minds of some of those present perhaps is a doubt that Baker will go through with the dangerous undertaking; that, at the last moment, he’ll quit. But nothing is farther from the truth. The big fellow is grimly confident. And now he's on the move, for the ball isn't coming down straight. It veers one way and then another, the plaything of air currents that eddy about the giant shaft of masonry. Baker scurries around in circles trying to keep directly beneath it. Phil Is Persistent. A hundred, perhaps seventy-five feet from the ground the whizzing “apple” takes a final eccentric slant and there is & mad race between man and ball. The man loses; he's at least a yard away as, with a whish and a thud, the flight is ended. To Baker a trem- bling of the ground is plainly perceptible as the sphere strikes. At the moment of impact is speed is something like 187 feet a second, or more than two miles a minute. But Phil is not daunted. He wants to again. Afimr ball is thrown; he misses; still another and another. i ‘The tears into Baker’s great sphere glove with a force that would fell an ordinary man if he put behind that glove much of his heft, which Phil did. A moderately flipper completely breaks, the fall, but, alas, it can’t complete the capture. When Phil Baker dropped the leather after apparently making a clean catch he created food for an argument that was to put at loggerheads the base ball fans of Washington some 45 years later. Mansfield Starts It. weeks ago, in his “Memory Test” ‘Two feature on the back cover of The Sun- | Chicago tar’s magazine section, Cartoonist asked: “Who was the first Washington ball | Washin, uumm-n [-BE catch & base n Monument?” January 9, 1885, ‘Thousands had never heard of Phil Baker. The hoary old-timers recalled him as a first-class catcher; some re- menf field was correct. N:lyw files were thumbed dili- A Tough Question. The Evening Star of January 10, 1885, is authority for the fact that Baker “judged the ball accurately in one instance, but almost immediately dropped it “How long,” seems to be a fair ques- tion here, “is ‘almost immediately’?” Mansfield says his investigation, which was almost altogether a file search, convinced him that Baker clung to that “hot potato” long enough to have made a putout had the ball been a flyin a Street made nearly a quarter century after Baker. But Street was eclipsed by still an- other courageous catcher. On August 24, 1910, Billy Sullivan of the Chicago White Sox made three perfect catches. Big Ed Walsh and our own Dr. G. Harris White, now director of physical education in Washington high schools and then a famous southpaw pitcher, | Bice: Wi were on the throwing end of Sul- livan’s performance. ‘Walsh threw out 23 balls before Sul- livan got hold of one. Then “Doc” ‘White relieved Ed. Standing well back from the window, White put consid- !’l’lht le mtnm xnwl h}i;s tosses. Sullivan, &t a spot several hundred feet from the base of th first and fifth balls thrown by White. Sullivan’s three catches gave him a flelding average of about .077 for 39 balls were thrown. But how you gonna decide that Baker-Street matter? — PARSONS AND COOK WIN IN TRAPSHOOT Dr. Parsons and Bob Cook, with a score of 91, gained first honors in the two-man team race that featured the ‘Washington Gun Club weekly shoot yesterday at the Benning traps. The Parsons-Cook combination was given stern opposition, edging out the teams of Mercey-Shelton, Stine-Bartholomew and Hunter-Messick by a lone point. In the Upson trophy contests, which |, were second on the program, Culver and Livesey each won a leg in th first event with 23, and Messick and Fawsett each triumphed in the second with a 24. In doubles practice matches Lane broke a perfect score of 50.

The final meet of Mary- land’s Spring racing season will open Monday when the sport shifts to Pimlico for 12 days of racing. Tomorrow will be mov- ing day for horsemen who re- mained at Havre de Grace for the duration of that meet. There al- ready are close to 500 horses on hand and before tomorrow night it is likely that stall room will be at a premium. Pimlico’s adherence to its policy of a stake a day always serves to attract the smartest horses in training. The high- lights of the Spring meet embrace the Dixie Handicap, carrying an added money value of $25,000, and the Preak- ness Stakes, worth $50,000 in added money. Both of these races will gross considerably more than these amounts. Programs at the Baltimore track are framed to provide races for the higher class of horses, and many good animals await its opening in the Spring to make their first appearance under silks. There is little opportunity for the cheaper grade to earn their way here. Monday's feature will be the Dixie, the richest race for older horses run in Maryland in the Spring. Trainers with eligibles have been pointing their charges with this race in view. In- terest has centered about these candi- dates every time they have appeared in public in the past few weeks. Many of the most formidable have been pre- pared in Maryland racing, the most notable of these being Willlam T, Toro, Beacon Hill, Dr. Freeland, Bobashela and Sandy Ford. Inception, a recent purchase of Regan McKinney, an ama- teur rider of note, also has been seen gonder silks at Havre de Grace and wie. Mike Hall, the American horse which made a bid for the Ascot Gold Cup in England last season, has been shipped from Kentucky, where he made a suc- cessful return to the races last week. Another Kentucky contender came along with him—Montanaro, a clever handi- cap horse. New York will have repre- sentation in the field, although the ab- sence of Diavolo and Distraction will helphth: cause of locally trained thor- ougl BALTIMORE, Md,, April 26.— Preakness on May 9. ‘The Preakness, the East's counterpart of the Kentucky Derby, will be run off on Friday, May 9. With the race less than two weeks off, it still is regarded as a_wide-open affair. Boojum and ‘Whichone, champions in their 2-year- old year, both are expected to pass up the contest. Flying Heels, winner of] the Futurity here last Fall, is not eli- gible. Ned O, a nice 2-year-old last season, cannot go after the purse, gel- dings being barred. However, Gallant Fox and Desert Light, two most favored their appearance here before shipping to Kentucky. The e strata of the racing public which finds a particular thrill in view- ing steeplechasing will find their wishes catered to at Pimlico. This sport still finds a place on the programs at the Hilltop plant, although the other Maryland tracks, with the exception of Laurel and Timo down for decision during the two weeks of sport.

WESTERN HIGH WINS FIFTH NET VICTORY BALTIMORE, April 26.—Despite the absence of several regulars, the crack tennis team of Western High School of Washington overcame Mount St. Jo- seph's College High School racketers, 4 to 3, in red-hot battling today. It was the fifth win in as many engage- ments for Western. It was Jack Lynham, No. 1 player, who stood out for the victors. He con- quered Siverd in a dramatic three-set match. The scores were 6—4, 4—86, 10—8.

The stewards immedi- ately disqualified Michigan Boy and then suspended Jockey N. Leblanc and referred his case to the Maryland Rac- ing Commission. Following the disqualification, the official placing was Seagram Stables’ Sweet Sentiment, Walter J. Salmon’s Swinfield and the Glen Riddle Farms' Full Dress. ‘The foul occurred at the eighth pole, where Ned O. was literally flying and where he appeared certain of winning.
