Hardner, Negro pitcher for the Walnut Street Cartage team, ama- teur, slammed the ball to the edge of the playing field and ran like sixty. He circled the bases and came in standing up, beaming all over. In the meantime the out- fielder, Bob Simmons—a brother of the well known Al—was fielding the ball. Hardner's teammates began ges- ticulating wildly. Hardner, it ap- peared, had neglected to touch first base. So Hardner started all over again, sprinting like mad down the first base line. He got there just in time and the scorebook gives him a single.

Just how good they can be was demon- strated last Friday in Philadelphia, when the pair cleaned up in a dual sketch with the A's.

Robert performed superbly the other day when he held the White Sox to five safeties and ought a brave showing against the Boston bunch. Looks as though the Nationals aim to pick up a deal of ground early in the battling with the Red Sox.

One of his questions was: “Is the general run of sandlotters now playing in the unlimited class younger than those who played five years or 80 8g0?" | the A close observation of the city’s some 75 odd unlimited class clubs would prompt an answer in the affirmative.

These figures would indicate that the influx of youngsters to unlimited ball would drive out the oldtimers in & wholesale sweep, but, on the contrary, several members of perhaps 10 to 20 years of sandlot ball still remain.

BY ALAN GOULD, Assoclated Press Sports Editor. EW YORK, May 19.—Horse- men are reluctant to rush in prematurely with the laurel wreaths of great- ness. They prefer to let time and records adjust these matters. To- day, however, they readily con- cede that Gallant Fox, the thor- oughbred around whose neck the rose wreath of Kentucky Derby triumph was hung Saturday, and his rider, the equally gallant Earl Sande, rank as the most sensa- tional, if not the greatest winning combination since Man o’ War and Clarence Kummer were unbeat- able 10 years ago in three-year- old competition. A o The winner, in succession, $10,000 Wood Memorial, $55,000 Preak- ness and $60,000 Derby has developed unconquerable habits as a 3-year-old, whereas this big black son of Sir Gala had IIT was just fair to middlin’ as & Juvenile.

Crack Brigade was only three-quar-. ters of a length behind Gallant Fox in the Preakness, but after a briefly sus- | tained challenge at Churchill Downs finished six and onc-half back of the Woodward colt in the fifty-sixth | running of the Kentucky classic.
