By Joseph Gordon. T MORAN'S Cincinnati Reds, Pt ng in the capacity of ad- ance guards for the Western teams that are beginning to pour into Brooklyn, arrived here to-day for the first of a four game series with the Robins at Ebbets Field, The opening game was scheduled for th afternoon, but rain caused a ponement. This is a little too early in the season to speak of any series as being a ‘‘crucial one, but there is no doubt that the result of the next four games will have @ gerat bearing upon the future of the Brooklyn club. On their Western trip the Robins came to Cincinnati in a much better position than they were when they left, Out of the four games they played they were able, and barely able, to fake but one. It set the Robins back in the standing quite a bit, a setback they were unable to overcome until they came back for a series of engagements with the weak- er clubs of the East. And now the locals are back in fourth place, with the Reds close be- hind them Inefifth. The margin sep- erating them is not by any means too comfortable. The Reds have been playing fine ball of late and unless the locals are on their toes and dis- playing the brand of baseball they have shown here on occasion the Yypography of the National League will see a great change before the Reds leave town. Dazzy Vance will do the twirling for the Robins, and Hungling the re- ceiving in the first game against the Reds. Vance has shown himself to be in fine condition the last time he appeared upon the mound and is considered one of Robinson's leading pitchers, His victory over the Braves in his last start was of an impressive nature. He never lacked contro! and his change of pace kept his opponents constantly puzzled. And, speaking of pitchers, Presi- dent Ebbets of the Dodgers announced to-day that he has at last succeeded in signing up James F’, Murray of the Syracuse University. Murray has been sought by several big league clubs, notable among them the Giants and\Detroit Tigers. Murray held out for a cash bonus and his terms were met by the Brooklyn management. He will report in a few days. Murray is a lefthander and a husky lad for his age. He !s twenty- four years old and stands 6 feet 2 in his stocking feet and weighs 210 pounds, His home is in Scranton, Pa. His contract with the Robins is for the rest of 1922. From now on there will be no rest for the Robins until all the Western clubs are disposed of. Sixteen days will be required for these disposals and upon these sixteen days, perhaps, the future of the Robina will depend, Ig they succeed in treating the West- erners in the same way they were treated; by them, partisans of the Brooklyn club will be breathing much easier, Dodgers, Reds and Tigers ____ Proving “Dark Horses’’ New Material Has Put Clubs in Line for Pennants— Brooklyn Club Leads All.

By Bozeman Bulger. EGINNING with the afternoon's B fight with the Cubs the New York fan has a chance to sit back for a week, take a squint at the Giants and think this baseball matter over—loox it squarely in the face, It could be rosier, you know. Whether these boys of our are real world’s champs or whether they ain't, as old Metropolitan Joe Hornung says, will be pretty well tipped off before this long string of wild westerners are through with their in- vading. On top of the larruping personally experienced by Glants id Dodgers on their recent unhappy jaunt through the West John McGraw and Wilbert Robinson have been getting some mighty disquieting news from out there since their return, Pittsburgh has been going great guns and the Reds are popping off steam et every stop. Even the Cubs have their necks bowed and their tails curled like bull yearlings going through a peach orchard. There will be no set-ups for our Champs during this merry month of June. If the Westerners continue this cutting up on foreign soll—this ts their first swing around the East— the Giants realizg that they have got to play about 40 per cent. stronger than they have all season to keep their nose out front. For the past two weeks the Champs have almost fallen apart Much as we hate to say it, it's true Their percentage standing right now is .600, more than sixty points be- low what it took for them to snatch the pennant from the Pirates last fall. A tougher feature, though, is that they have been declining instead of rising. But for an exceptionally good getaway their recent work would barely have kept them in the first division. McGraw is keenly conscious of this situation and he has set about to put the Champs onto themselves with a sharp yank. Hin first move was the suspension of Earl Smith for re- peated breaking of training ruler Others are said to have tralled along Western Clubs world's championship, questionable as it may have been, turned a complete flipflop the following season and the middle fell out. They are just now beginning to recover. It would be difficult to point out any particular or individual weak spot in the Giants. The team as a whole is generally regarded by oldtimers as the best piece of baseball machinery ever put together. It has always struck me that way. Why, McGraw’'s sec- ondary strength is greater than the first strength of a lot of clubs, The trouble is the machine ts not properly oiled, Anyway it is not running smoothly. Even Bancroft, the niftiest short- stop In the league, has been in a slump. He has been guilty of mak- ing stupid flelding plays, a thing hard to believe. Neither Heinie Groh nor Frankie Frisch have been able to get going like they want to. Some time ago McGraw thought he saw a weakness In Shinners who had got a little gunshy at the bat. He replaced him with Bill Cunningham, Bill has won himself a berth. He has been playing ball right from the jump. But, just as Cunningham got in his stride others stumbled. Well, they're off to the long fight to-day, We'll see. The Yanks don ot return to the home folks until July 2. While the Giants are standing off invaders the American League champs are taking the fight right into the enemy's coun- try. What's more, they've got to play better ball out there than they have at home or they'll slide out of the lead. The Yanks played twenty-three games at home, winning fourteen of them. That rate of playing would give them a percentage of .608, far too low for pennant purposes. They have not been playing up to the standard set by themselves, For example, their standing for the season so far is -625. In nearly a month's stay at home their winning gait has been but 608, While the Yank slump has not been so rapid as that of the Giants, it has been more gradual, a thing that doesn’t look good to George En- thusiast, It makes no hit with Miller Huggins, or with the two Colonels Col. Huston, you know, js a figure sharp. A gradual decline especially at home, The boys have got to get up and dust. With Ruth back in form they probably will. The Yanks open he says is not healthy. to-day in Chi- with Smith and not keeping their minds on the race. The breaking of training rules. which usually means staying out late at nights with a little drinking on the side, would not be so bad if the players thought about baseball be- tween times. But, somehow, it never works that way. “They got a little too sure of them- selves and grew careless,” says Mc Graw, “That's ruined the chances of many a ball club, It won't ruin, mine if I can help it. There is no alibi for the playing of the team, They have simply played bad baseball, repeatedly overlooking chances that would have been jumped at last fall, They have not had their heads up, at times, “f nave an idea, though,” the man- ager added, “that with a tough siege at home and with a knowledge that this Western invasion is going to give usa fight every day, the club will rise to the occasion, If there is any fool ishness others are likely to be brought up with a jerk.” Nobody knows better than McGraw. the danger of a good club going stale through too much self-assurance. One year after winning the pennant, and when all the experts had picked the Gients to win again, the team sud. denly took a slump, went ail to pieces, and finally finished far in the ruck The Cincinnati club after winning a cago. —— STUFFY MINNIS MAKES ERROR AFTER PLAYING 167 PERFECT GAMES One hundred and sixty-seven consecutive games of big league baseball without an error!

He hadn't made one before that since May 30, 1921, when he mufied a wide throw, He played 119 games after that in 1921 and forty-eight more this season before he slipped again, and this time he was charged with an error because some one who should have rove ered third base failed to get there to take his quick throw, saaliaieeataati scene NG GROUNDS YJ Having reached eighth place, the Phils will be at home for the rest of the season.

CHICAGO, June 6.—With a slight lead in the American League pennant race, the Yankees arrived here from Rochester where they played an ox- hibition game with George Stallings’ International League Club. The Windy City, always a great baseball town, is In the throes of a greater state of excitement than at any time this season. O¥ course the cause of the commotion is the advent of the King of Swat into Chicago's midst. Early yesterday Charles Comiskey, owner of the White Sox, stated that most of the reserved seats for the opening game between the Yankees and White Sox at the South Side Park had been disposed of. Early this morning crowds waited in line hours before the game for unreserved seajs that were put on sale. The veteran magnate Comiskey Is rubbing his hands and smiling joy- fully, for this afternoon the crowd will play a merry tune on the turn- stiles of Cemiskey Park that might gladden the heart of any club owner.
