THE HIGH COST THIS YEAR. “SUMMARIZING STRENGTH SQ) FAR GIANTS SEEM IN CLASS BY THEMSELVES Five of the American League Clubs Appear to Dispute White Sox’s Right to Repeat, Results Up to Date Being More a Question of Condition Than AND HIGH BALLS WILL SLOW UP THE 19TH HOLE CHAMPS OF' GOLF BALLS Team Strength. By Hugh S. Fullerton. r 1918. by The Prow Py omit, IBS York bvelna Wott tO HILN the HasterngnajosAtague clubs marked time and re- viewed the results of th b sreeind skirmishes yesterday the tern division got into action again long enough to prove thyt for the #1 Snth the at il season is more a question of condition than of real team strength. Chicago's White Gox, using the one pitcher who i in shape, Williams, turned upon the St, Louls Browns and shut themout, while Cleveland trounced Detroit, po that the Id ts off for all the clubs fnd we have our first glimpses of team strength, ‘To summarize the strength already shown, the Giants look to be in & class by themselves in the Nation while the American League {8 & scramble in which six teams have real hances with the further encourage- ment that Chicago, the strongest team of the league, appears in the worst condition, Cleveland looms as a more | potent factor than it did two weeks 4go, and so do the Browns. Rain, chilly weather and chillier rounds stopped the Giants and the Yanks yesterday, and gaye time to etody the future. Major league owne are at last awakening to the fact that there is a war and that Uncle Sam cannot see a chance to play favorites when he needs men, They are awake to the fact that a lot of the exemption boards are in a bit of a peevish humor and that claims of exemption that are not sound makes them more 60. The major league clubs, so far as I can compile the figures, stand to lose about twenty-six players within a short time, the majority of them be- fore they can do much to help their teams, Among those who are ex~ tremely iikely to be summoned before \ the middle of May are Kauff and pos- sibly Anderson of the Giants; Hick- man and Marquand of the Dodgers; Alexander, Ki Kilduff and Weay- er of the Cubs; Felsh and possibly Weaver of the White Sox; Baird and Smyth, Snyder, Horstinan and How- ard of the Cardinals, in addition to Jack Smith, who already has received word that he is expected in camp early in May, Reports from other clubs are incomplete, but there is @ big chance that two dozen men will be pulled out of the big leagues al- most before the season settles to reg- oN nuerou. rs and players ular work. In addition to this ele-| ment, which makes the uncertainty | greater than ever before, Cooper, the} star of the Pittsburgh team and the nitcher upon whom Bezdek was rely~ ng to be the anchor of the staff, dam- aged himself so badly in his first game at Cincinnati that he probably will be out for a month luck of the Giants. The’ sses seem heavy with Robertson out and Kauff on the edge | of going, but they have found Young, whose status in draft 4 yet, But compared w of Cincinnati, St. Louis o BSERVE the teams that figured to have h them hard for » thre ‘worse hurt than they are, the Giants have little of which to complain. ET us extract a bit of consolation from the gloom. Cleveland evi- dently has serious intentions regard- Ing the championship this season, and is not taking any unnecessary chances of being caught ehort-band- ed when the soldier boys lay down the bats for the rifles. They have just bought Eddie Onslow as utility man, Onslow was with Providence last season and at one time he threatened to be a star with Detroit. It was generally supposed that the Tigers had some sort of a hold on him, but Cleveland got him and can use him. The St. Louis Cards have @ ray of sunshine in the fact that Bert Niehoff, who wes bought from Philadelphia, has signed a contract, which fortifies the infield consider- ably and adds steadiness more than actual strength. EW YORK fans will grieve to know that Herman Schaefer, who has acted McGraw’s lieuten- ant, has become assistant to Lee Fob! and coach of the Cleveland Club. Schaét, it ds understood, was @ free agent this season, although he stuck around helping McGraw. He is a close friend of Jim Dunn, one of the Cleveland owners, and Dunn hes been wanting an active helper for Fohl to work with Speaker and help on the infield and attacking schemes. | Tt is not generally Leg but dur- | ing the pennant-winning days of the old Detroit Club Schaefer was Jen- nings’s right hand man and helper! with the strategy of the club, espe- cially on the attack. After Schaefer) left the Tigers many of the players remarked on the severe loss to the team and it was predicted that he would return as coach. Schaef prob- ably will become a manager eventu- ally. In fact, the only thing that has kept him from a berth as a major league manager has been his irre- presaible spirits and senee of humor. When the White Sox and Giants made their trip around the world Schaefer was one of the leading spir- its and fun-makers. In Ceylon the party met Sir Thomas Lipton, the sportsman and yachtsman, and he and Schaefer became close chuma, Sir Thomas seeming never to weary of Schaefer's high spirits and fun. Schaefer Immediately christened him- self Sir Henry and the two baroneta A CHIP OF THE OLD BLOCK By William Abbott.

Reuben Marquard, southpaw, was scent to the showers with a hop- less fast one and with exemption denied by the District Draft Board. Jefferson Tesreau of the Ozark Aviation Corps was forced to retire after skidding on Brooklyn concrete, Walter Johnson of the Truck Horse Heavy Artillery collapsed un- der the strain of winning too many games for Clark Griff last winter. Jackson Coombs of the Antique Infantry was betrayed by one of his own infielders. ‘4 Edward Cicotte, Shine Grenade Corps, knocked out for thinking the Browns were done to a crisp. got along famously together. The following year Schaef was with his team when Sir Thomas visited the Polo Grounds and was sitting in a box when Schaefer espied him, lifted his cap and his volce at the same time and yelled: Tommy!" Schaef!" called the Baronet, to the amazement of the crowd, who held different ideas of the dignity of the nobility. HE Giants and Dodgers will re- sume thelr pastiming to-day if the weather permits, and the Yanks will play two games in Boston. The chilly, damp weather is not encour- aging to managers who are anxious to whip their pitchers into condition, but the day of rest was welcome to the athletes. at ace Sara TWO AMATEUR CHAMPIONS WIN IN BOXING TOURNEY.
