PT is, of course, far too early to attempt an estimate of the clans the three ew York pennant contendere, the Giants, Dodgers and Yanks, may be eventually expected to show in this season's battles of the big leagues.

Robins Again Win Like Champions PHILADELPHIA, April 24.—Clar- ence Mitchell, one of the two southpaw spitballers performing in the major leagues, pitched the Robins to a vic- tory over the Phillies by a score of 3 to 1, Mitchell was hit hard in epots, ylelding eight singles and a pair of two-baggers, but good field- ing by the inner defense of the Brook- lyn team pulled him out of several tight places, Seldom have the Robins played better ball. Ivy Olson, playing at short in the place of Chuck Ward, accepted ten chances faultlessly, while Pete Kilduff, who was assigned to Olwon's job at second, figured in eight plays without a slip-up. In the third inning the visitors ex- -euted one of the prettiest double plays ever seen at the Huntington Street grounds, Young Ray Miller opened the inning | with a slashing double off the right field wall. Withrow hit a grounder to the right of Johnston and was) thrown out at first. Miller essayed to take third on the play, but “Olson skipped over to the bag and took Koney’s fast return throw, Miller was out by several feet or more.

HE links at Van Cortlandt Park oe recent heavy rains that Park Commissioner Joseph P. Hennessey of the Bronx announced late last night that the course would not be opened to-day as planned, but probably next Saturday. Van Cortlandt is the busiest links im the United States. So far nearly 2.500 season tags have been issued. They now cost $5, when only a short time ago they could be had for one simoleon. All locker room in the club house has been taken days ago. Inquiries con- tinue to pour in, Many play the public links because they cannot af- ford the expense of private clubs. Many others battle at Van Cortlandt because private clubs around the city are overfiowing with members. On any day, especially Saturday and Sunday, the park is a great melting pot for golfers, men, women and children, who all play with unlimited enthusiasm but not impressive skill. But there have been notable ex- ceptions about their skill. Eddie Loos graduated from Van Cortlandt to a leading place in the ranks of professional stars, The same with Joe Sylvester and several other. Maybe this season will furnish an- other crop of star graduates.

Sullivan. HEN Willie Jackgon and Jack Lawler started upon their fast eight-round fight at the Arena A. C,, in the 4th Regiment Armory, Jersey City, last night, it’ looked as though the bout would prove #o one-sided as to be entirely devoid of interest. Lawler, despite his being heralded as a lad who was able to hold his own or better against such stars as Johnny Dundee, Benny Valger, Ritchie Mitchell, appeared to be nothing more than « chopping block. | The local lightweight star never | displayed such speed as he did in the opening rounds. He tore after the visiting lad, who was announced is coming from Omaha, The fans thought he was a “Southern Torna- do" from Atlanta, Willie figurati rained punches upon the rangy Iri lad, and it looked like a certginty that Lawler would be stopped. One could hear all over the armory remarks to the effect that Lawler was a “false alarm” and “never- was" and many fans marvelied that he should have: been able to find a Promoter who would give him a star yout with such a formidable adver- sary as Willie Jackson. soings went along on the pitcher- catcher ordet for about five rounds with Jackson administering a sound thrashing to the out-of-town ‘but suddenly Lawler started to find him- self and from then on he was a dangerous factor all the time and it was the consensus of opinion that over the twenty-round route would be a hard problém for any boy his weight in the world ‘to solve. In the seventh round “Jackson's host of admirers were dtmfoundéd when Lawler scored ‘a knockdown. Jackson was up in a jiffy, but he was 80 humiliated at being dropped after having piled up sugh)a clear lead that he was like a ‘madman. /Fre- quently before the final bell Lawler landed telling punchés around Jack- son's head. z Lawler was able to go the distance largely because he’had a Clever way of covering up his head with bo gloves when in cloge, and besides he is as game a youngster as over climbed through the ropes.

He also wanted to get a line on Jackson for his countryman, Papin; now on the way here. n; The house was not as big as ex- pected because of the strike of the Hudson tube employees. Also, it was with difficulty that parties drove to the fight in autos as few of the ferries were running and those that were in operation only sent boats across every half hour. Abe Attell Goldstein, cleverly handled by Willie Lewis, and who appears to be one of the best ban- tamweights in these parts, stopped Harry Martin, who substituted for Bobby Doyle, in one round. Spider Roach, the California boxer, ‘won handily over Bert Spencer of Brook- tyn, winning each round by a wid margin. Roach dropped his 1 for the count of seven in tie third round. Jackey Saunders and Johnny Lisse fought a draw in the preliminary.
