A swing—and a smash—and a gray streak partaking Of ghostly manoeuvres that follow the whack; : The old earth rebounds with a quiver and quaking And high flies the dust as he thuds on thetrack; The atmosphere reels—and it isn't the comet— z There follows the blur of a phantom at play; Then out from the reel glitter of steel— And damned be the fellow that gets in the way. comes the A swing and a smash-—and the far echoes quiver — A ripping and rearing and volcanic roar; And off streaks the Ghost shake and a shiver, To hurdle red hell on the way to a score; A cross between tidal wave, cyclone and earthquake— Fire, wind and water all out on a lark; Then out from the reel comes the glitter of steel, Plus ten tons of dynamite hitched to a spark. 3 with = a “It's the club with the wallop that wins,” comments an excnange. ‘The old punch is the main ractor, after all. Look at Detroit.” P We are always highly pleased to look at Detroit. But, for the purpose of introducing an argument we dény the statement that the ciub with the wellop always wins. Detroit has one .400 hitter in Cobb, one .300 hitter in Crawderd, and one just below .300 in Veach, But what of the Giants? They have fmore .300 hitters than any club in baseball—no .less than five, with Merkle, Robertson, Fletcher, Doyle and Lobert—all well ‘'over the Class Divide—but they haven't wrecked the ieague yeet by a battle or. two, Not AlL Ability to hit the ball 1s not the sole winning factar in the game. The Giants have five .300 batsmen and the Reds have three—the only clubs who have more than two regulars over this mark—yet Giants and Reds have been struggling in last place all the vear. The Giants have the best club bat- ting average in either league—but the standing of the clubs shows what hard hitting is worth when a pitching staff isn’t able to protect four or five runs. As Records Go. Mr. Everett Scott, of the Red Sox, is a shortstop—and = merry. ome. And the answer to his merriment is simple enough. On the 5th of May, through some slight clerical mistake, he made an error. Since that date Scott has played in over thirty games 2nd accepted over 130 chances with- out a slip. On one occasion they rumped fourteen shots at him in one game and upon another occasion they pumped twelve without breaking down his marvellous defense. As records go, this one comes close to deserving an honored page in the beok.

Ganymede, U Ty Cobb is absolute master of both ris brain and brawn. He directs both in perfect team play without any waste. We have never seen any ate- letes who carried so much muscular control. There are a number of athletes who can think quickly, but who are unable to make their muscu- lar system respond. Cobb has suc- ceedd in mastering his mental and physical make-up to a wonderful de- gree. The same is true of Walter J. Travis in golf. As close as a human being can come to it, he has mastered himself—has taken control - of his train, his muscular make-up and his nervous system. He hasa nervous svstem about as'any one eise, but the gifference is in the fact that he runs it rather than let it run him. How can this be accomplished? By con- centration, hard work, practice, habit. It certainly doesn’t come of its own accord. The Tiger Rival, In the Tiger camp there is a géneral feeling that after July the main rival left will be the Red Sox. Jennings’ men figure the White Sox are being carried along almost exclusively by their pitchers and that the strain will soon begin to tell upon the staff. On the other or opposite Paw, they figure the Red Sox have almost as much pitching power as the White Sox—and a stronger offensive ma- chine, - The White Sox are not figured out of it, but the Tigerine en- semble believes at the snowdown— you might even say in the ‘“last an- alysis,” to be distinctly uriginal, the Red Sox must be suppressed for Jen- rings to float his fourth pennant above A. L. ramparts. So far the Tigers have displayed the most efficient baseball machine, em- bracing all departments, that we have reen. Only an accident to Cobb or a collapse in pitching can crowd them out of it. And not even the Braves of 1914 at their most frenzied periods of enthusiasm displayed any more pepper than Detrojt's travelling rep- resentatives are showing Just now. They are exuding the justly renowned Pep from every open pore. BARROW DENIES SHIFT. Says Newark Will Not Be Transferred to Harrisburg. New York, June 9.—Ed Barrow, president of the International league, last night made & positive denial that arrangements had been completed for the transfer of the Newark franchise to Harrisburg, Pa. “Many stories have been circulat- ed in the last few days that the New- ark club is to-go to Harrisburg. Some of the papers even had President Tener of the National league arrang- ing for the shift at Harrisburg last Sunday, when as a matter of fact he did nothing but play golf there all day and spoke not one word of base- ball to anybody. “Nothing positive has been done re- garding the Newark matter. If the ghift is to be made, I must decide so and the league must pass upon it. None of these steps have been taken. “However, if = the International league does leave Newark, that city will never again get .a club in our circuit. We will leave for good, just | as Jack Dunn's club left Baltimore for Richmond.” ’ Some of the local papers yesterday had positive statements that the Newark club was to open the series with Richmond at Harrisburg on Thursday, and this riled' Barrow more than ever. e T PIONEER JRS.

Andover, Magd., June 9.—Sidney Peet, athletic trainer at Phillips An- dover Academy for the last fifteen years, has tendered his resignation to take effect at the close of the present school year. Vaughn S. Blanchard, former Worcester Academy track eoach, who is to join the Andover fac- ulty next fall, probably will succeed Peet. |Harry Lord Will Continue |HARTFORD DEFENSE To Cover Third for Buffalo Buffalo, N. Y., June 8.—The latest player to pass out of baseball via the Federal league is Larry Schafly. Un- til recently Larry -was guiding the destinies of the Buffeds, but he was given his unconditional release when ; the team fell into a slump which landed it at the bottom. Harry Lord, late of the White Sox, was chosen his successor. Lord is a newcomer in Federal league circles. He played third base for the White Sox for sev- eral seasons and served in that ca- ! pacity until the early part of the ! present season, when he was given his unconditional release. He was im- mediately signed up by the Buffalo club_to hold down'its difficult corner and .as manager he Will continue a that position. he —— e ————————— | Baseball News in a Nutshell COLONIAL LEAGUE, Yesterday's Results.
