In the very first ten minutes of a chilly affair that almost turned Into ® historic ball game this young man picked up an easy bounder from the Dat of McMillan, the new Yank. ‘There were two out. Chick Few- atqf, who had just smacked a two- bagger, trotted toward third as a matter of form—and to pick up his slove for the next inning. The scorer was in the act of hanging up the figure “0” on the board.

Mr. Tom Phillipa, fresh from New Orleans, is just that. And he has yet to cast his first yote for President. Shawkey, the veteran of many such duels, is hardened to that sort of thing, and was expected to play his cards careful, But this young Mr, Phillips saw the Polo Grounds for the first time two days ago. He pitched his first major league game at Wash- ington last week. The fact that he was selected to block the Champe in their last Jump for first place didn't even ruffie his hair, This youngster waa just as cool inwardly as the crowd was outwardly. In no inning did he give the Yanks more than one hit—altogether they nicked him for five. In all that time he did not give a base on balls; did not make one misplay. But for that terrible error by Lamotte, the Champs would have taken @ clear coat of whitewash. Just put a pin in the name of Phil- lips and watch him this summer. Pitchers ike that don’t bob up every year. . . Now that they have fought their way up to the top the Yanks are ready to take up the siack. For the next two games with Washington they have Joe Bush and Carl Maye— maybe Waite Hoyt, if he’s needed.

The new outfiekier got in harness yesterday. In addition to nice fielding, he poled one of the five Yonely hits. Many New York fans appear have had an idea that Witt was sold by Connie Mack because of a sus- pected lack of ability. No, not at all. He and Connie could not get chummy over the salary question, and Witt was unhappy pver having to play with the Athletics under those conditions, That's why he's here.

After the contest they got together and informed me they would not play in the final series unless they were guaranteed $40 for each contest. “Sooner than give in to the ‘stick up’ tactics I informed them I would default to the Dodgers. I called up Cody and Wilde to-day, informed them of my actions, and told them it would be impossible for MacDowall Lyceum to play for the titte. “The officials of the Metropolitan League have been notified of my ac- tions and they will back me to the Umit.

KRIZ of the Bohemian Gymnasium Association, Sokol, is to-day the champion all around gymnast of the Amateur Ath- letic Union by virtue of his victories in the national gymnastic champion- ships which were held at the New York Athletic Club last night. He won by a clean margin of 105 points over his nearest rival for the honor, B, Jorgensen of the Norwegian T. 8., and entirely outstripped the former champion, Curt Rottman of the New York T. V. Kriz furnished the sensation of the evening, His work on the long horse and at the parallel bars was almost without a flaw, and though it was gen- erally known that he was an athlete of excellent material, not even his greatest admirers thought he would be able to win the all‘around cham- pionship from a field of athletes that constituted the cream ‘of American gymnasts, Much more has been expected from Curt Rottman tham he was able to show last night. But the lad who created such a stir in athletic circles a year ago by taking five gymnastic Mano’ War’s Brother Shows Speed Of Family at Havre De Grace ‘Wins His Second Race Three-Year-Old Im- pressively. as (Special to The Bvening World.) BALTIMORE, Md., April 32. HH) poor relation has finally gath- He ered enough courage (and speéd) to strike in the world on his own. My Play, three-year-old, brother of Man O' War and Playfel- low, has not only convinced that he possesses the good blood of Fair Play and Mahubak but that he is deserving of consideration beyond his other rela- tions who‘have raced during the last three years. His big brother, Man O° War, swept all before him and was re- tired the champion of all thorough- breds, one of the greatest the world had ever seen. While he was at his greatest, his brother, Playfellow, had a tough time bearing the brunt of critical comparison because be could not escape the maiden class, Another spring, afler Man QO’ War went into retirement, Playfellow showed positive evidence of making good—#o much so that $100,000 changed hands for him. And during that same year family history re- peated itself and his little brother, My Piay, found himself up against the same difficulty, for he too went into retirement at the end of it, discredited non-winner, but My Play has made good. His graduation was not at all impressive. He barely succeeded in getting home. For the first time in his career My Piay stretched his neck like a game 2 horse when he led Superlative, Span- ish Maize and others home in a six- furlong dash, He went to his work with a will, supplied a good part of his own pace and finished like a blue blood. After his maiden victory, both Trainer Roy Waldron and the stable’s manager, James McClelland, contend- ed he had raced as far as he had been trained to go, and expressed the confidence that he would race as far as horses are asked to before autumn comes. They insisted that his en- gagements extended throughout an eight-month period and that he would be given a graduated prep for them. My Play has done everything the training school has set forth up to date and, better, the last effort was convincing enough to arouse the thought that he may yet be as good as his trainer claims. My Play may have a mile test before the end of the meet- ing by way of moving his stamina up another notch toward the mile and an eighth Preakness test due on May 13, In a firm but dipomatic way the stewards have let tt be known that trainers must quit jesting with them. Henceforth, if a trainer asks to have a horse excused from racing on the plea that he is physically unfit, and the official veterinary ratifies the re- quest mMter an .inspection of the equine patient, that patient automat~ feally goes on the sick list for ten days, Permission wes riven for Bet- ter Times to be withdrawn on Thura- day upon the plea that he had devel- oped bucked shins and was in no condition to race against Cartoonist, The same Better Times, according to the testimony of four different clockers, stepped out on the track yesterday morning, less than twenty- four hours later, and galloped three furlongs in 351-6. One other made Marvellous Stunts Mark Gymnastic Title Contests; Kriz Is New Champion championships failed to defend four of those titles without losing them and was able to remain champion of but one instrument, the horizontal bar. The first event of the meet, the free style calisthenics, was won by B. Jor- sensen with Rottman second and Kriz third. Kriz recelved most of the ap- plause from the spectators but the three judges paid little attention to what the spectators thought about it and awarded the championship to the one who received the least of the on- lookers’ notice. Kris was an easy winner in the next event, the long horse. Rottman had a very excellent chance of finishing second but in his second trial he slipped at the head of the instrument and landed on the floor, back first. Berg and Wisjanssen, both of the Norwegian T. S., were tied for second place after the first count of the judges, and in the play-off Berg edged out on his clubmate for second place by a narrow margin. Joseph B, Richter of the D. A. Sokol Gymnasium Association won one of the most keenly compete: events of the evening, the side horse, Charles M. Cremer of the New York A. C., formerly intercollegiate champion of the sport, looked like a sure winner at the beginning of both the first and second trials, but each time, just as the spectators became wrapped in admiration at his wonderful feats, at his nimbleness and dexterity, he made unfortunate slips that counted against him in the point score. He was placed second, and Joseph Wolfrum of the Philadelphia Turngemeinde finished third. In the Indian club swinging contest Ray W. Dutcher, for years the chief contender for the title, at last man- aged to defeat J. Lester McCloud of the New York A. C., the former champion. But the title remaina with the New York A. C., for Dutcher is also a member of that club. W. W. Summerill of the Newark Y. M. C, A. won second and MoCloud finished third. k Joseph F. Dunn of the home club | Spectators responded with generous applause. His feats were truly won- derful, seldom seen anywhere except at events of this sort. W. Faulkner of the 23d Street Y. M. C. A. was second and Kimball Atha of the New- ark Y. M. C. A, was adjudged third. Not the least interesting thing that has been observed at the gymnastic games last night was the appreciable increase, in point of attendance, that these games are getting over the same events that were held there several years “back, In 1914. At that time the attendance was so small that the spectators were lost in the big gym- nasium. Last night the large hall was so jammed with onlookers that five minutes after he games started even standing room was at a premium. eon ssa International Results * ok League | r. t Baltimore: fecha eictmore fame —partponed— won the tumbling champlonship| }, easily.
