Brooklyns’ Own Clouting Cir. By Vincent Treanor. ORVICH, “the horse with bad M legs," which jumped from a 50 to 1 shot in his first start om through a sensational season with- aut @ defeat as a two-year-old, and Over the threshold of his three-year- old career as the winner of the Ken- tucky Derby, strips to racing form to-day at Aqueduct for what horse- Men regard as the first real defense of his championship laurels. To the turf world it is what a bout between Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills would mean to pugilism, only among horses there is no color line. Carrying 128 pounds in the Cariton Handicap, Morvich will measure strides with the best horses of his own age he has been called upon Ww meet so far. He will be going a mile agéinst speed, with Snob II an $85,000 horse, which, - after the ‘Withers, and before the Belmont, where he performed #0 disappoint- ingly, was hailed as a certain con- queror of the Block colt. Whiskaway’, a speedy son of Whisk Broom Il., the mile and a quarter two minute horse, owned by Harry Payne Whitney, will be in the field Whiskaway made his three-year-old debut at Belmont Park only Wednes- day last, and towroped hia field for a mille in 1.87 2-5. There's no telling how good he is. June Grass, the colt which led Snob TI. in the Withers for a half mile, and then crumpled under the latter's steam engine pace, will also be a starter, Only a week ago yesterday June Grass galloped to a mile victory im 1.88 with Prudish, winner of the Coaching Club's Oaks behind him. As if to lend size to the field Horo- logue and William A. will go too, making it a horse race in which it will be necessary for 'Morvich to get e contending position and run all the ‘way to hold it. It will be no meré exhibition or trial such as the Dempsey of the turf has gone through on the local tracks since his Kentucky triumph. And let it be said right here, to-day's field repre- sents more class than the ordinary lot in front of which Morvich only had to gallop in the Derby. In other words, Morvich is in for a Teal test in the Carlton, and if he comes out of it victorious his claim to the three-year-old championship will be pretty firmly established. He will need only to win the Kentucky Special at a mile and a quarter next Saturday at Latonia to cinch it. There has been criticism of Mor- vich's recent trials, such as there were during his preparation for the Derby, but these were not worrying his trainer and developer, Fred‘ Bur- lew, nor his owner, Benjamin Block. As Burlew said early to-day, ‘'Mor- vich will start and win uniess I drop dead before post time," Notwithstanding Burlew's confi- dence, railbirds say the Block colt hasn't worked as a champion should His recent mile in 1.89, they point out, wasn't impressive. He slowed up, as if tring toward the end, and it took him 14 seconds to negotiate the last eighth. However, only yes- terday morning, Morvich stepped a quarter in 22 seconds, and the next eighth in 24, which is ample evi- dence cf his well known early foot. From this it might be judged that nothing should outrun the champion this afternoon, The only question then is, will something else outstay him? Billy Garth, the veteran trainer of Snob I], wasn't making any wild pre- dictions for his $85,000 colt to-day, but he sald he is trained to run a fast mile, and he doesn't care if it's against Morvich or anybody else. Garth is satisfied that Snob IL. did not run his race in the Belmont. He wants him to run his Withers mile of 1.35 4-6 this afternoon, that's all We'll say it will be a horse race, no matter who wins, Jim Shevlin, President of — the Queens County Joc Club, with half a century of equine battles in hia memory, says Eixterminator’s victory in yesterday's Brookivn over Grey Lag was the greatest horse vace ever run. Many agree with him, while others hold ont for the Man o' War-John P. Grier duel as the daddy of them all. But be that as it may, certainly no race in the writer's Memory ever aroused such a tumult- ous demonstration.

Then Grey Lag bore out a bit, while John- son on the rail, never lost an inch with the popular old gelding. At the eighth pole they were on even terms, and from there home it was a blood-tingling battle. Game- ness didn't enter into it. Both horses and both jockeys were game. Ex- terminator glued to the rail was in the best position, The racing luck, switched around, might have won for Grey Lag. Such cheering as Exterminator ambled back to the stewards’ stand, probably never was heard on a race track. The old horse with almost human expression, seemed to know he had done something out of the ordi- nary. As he was being unsaddied he shook his intviligent head up and down, then looked up to the head of the stretch as if recalling where the battle had started. He then turned his eyes past the finish line up to the place where his jockey pulled him up. All the while he seemed to be Fox Hills That the Sport of the Links Is Not a Fatal Handicap Is P ying: “Well, I beat him, didn't 1? Where is that horse, Morvich?"'

It is about the only sport in which the number of years Is not a fatal handicap.

Before another motor pacer could take Its place on the track Miquel had lost three laps to his nearest competi- tors, Victor Linart, the Belgian, and George Wliey, the American.

SS = GOLF DRAWING PLAYERS FROM TENNIS COURTS CLEVELAND, 0., June 17.—Golf is rapidly drawing men and women from the hard-clay courts to the green fairways, according to the caretaker of one of Cleveland's largest tennis clubs. “Two years ago this club had 220 members," the veteran caretaker said. ‘This season the enroliment is only 168, I am certain that golf Is the reason.” Tennis is not the only game to feel the inroads of golf; others, too, are suffering from Its popularity. Vision- aries of the game see its ultimate growth reaching out until every ham- let has a course of some sort. They see the time when farm boys will be able to play the game on their town courses, where now baseball and Lorseshoe pitching furnish the bulk of recreative sport. Champs Win Nine Games From 'Vestern Invaders, Cubs Pirates End Stay To-Day and Cardinals Open Series To-Morrow. By Bozeman Bulger. ITH the Western invaders in full retreat the Glants are sleeping well these week-end nights, Even if the Pirates, mighty low in their minds to-day, should wield their cutlass with more aplomb in the final combat there is no occa- sion for alarm, The crisis was really passed in the slaughter of the Reds some days ago. What we win now is velvet. So far our champs have licked the invaders in ine games out of ten. The rest can't hurt much, The Cubs still have the honor of winning the only game. The Reds lost four and the Pirates already have dropped tires. The Cardinals arrive for thelr showing to-morrow. They will be the last to come out of the West. Fans are beginning to wonder if all that alarm about the spurt of those Reds and Cubs and Pirates was not a sort of vicious propaganda to give us a scare. A Pittsburgh camp follower even advanced the suggestion last night that the Giants had better have a care about winning too many ball games in a row or they'd kill all in- terest in the race. oe e George Gibson, big chief of the Pirates, sits around these mornings engrossed in profound meditation. Yanks Drop Into Seco..d Place By Losing to Ty’s Tigers Again Browns in Lead as Result of Hugmen’s Third Defeat in Detroit. By Robert Boyd. re DETROIT, Mict,, June 17.—The Yankees are now in second place In the American League pennant race, After leading the other seven cluba for the better part of the jon, they have relinquished their leadership to woe. the St. Louie Br: While Ty Cobb’ sadly at the score board in left centre of Nevine Field here and, with the st. Louls Browns crushing Clark Griffith's Senators, saw his Yankees pushed back into second piace. The Yankees’ third straight defeat at the hands of the Tigers # the sixth game the Hugmen here lost oa their present West trip, They have won five sinee they left their favorite haunts of Coogan’s Bluff. ‘The Yanirre craft is beginning to ship water perhaps under the strain of playing away from home. In the three straight defeats administered py the Tigers, Sam Jones, Carl Mays and Waite Hoyt have all had to bow to a club that played better ball Hoyt started pitching the third gany of the series. and be was deiven ¢ cover In the third ini atty GDoul replaces hin and the Tie collected Minuwen hits off both pitchers This is Hoyt's second defeat of the Western trip. He was credited with the loss of the fourth game in Chi- cago against the White Sox after he relieved Sam Jones. He has won one game on the trip Weat—the second one in 8t, Louis, last Sunday. After getting a two-run lead on the tigers and batting Howard Ehmke off the mound, the Hugmen faltered ana were beaten out by the Detroit team by the score of 9 to 4. Cobb, as usual, pulled some clever strategy in replacing Ehmke with Dauss, and the latter held the Yan- kees well In hand for the remaining seven Innings he was on the mound, The reason for the Yankees losing their grip in the race in the younger cireuit can be traced directly to the great playing of some of the Western clubs, such as St. Louis and the Tigers, and their own team game, Ruth got his second hit in the present series yesterday. The enforced idle- ness of Wally Schang with an Injured leg is more serious than the club yMclats care to reveal. He 1s limping badly and hit for Scott yesterday, but ould not run the bases after hitting safely, Hoffmann caught most of the same yesterday. He is a slight tm- provement over Al Devormer, but that foes not signify much The Yankees got thirteen hits off Fhmke and Dauss, but only scored cur rung on them, denoting clever tfensive work on the part of the Tigers und also stupid work by the Hugmen on the offense, 4 7on Honors in One George always has cherished an Idea that youth will be served. On that theory he pumped the old Pirate ship full of young blood ang sprinkled it around freely. And now see what has happened. In the third encounter at the Polo Grounds youth after youth was hurled against our gray and venerable champs. They waved the cutlass freely but with every wave a Giant runner slid over the pan. That old cutlass seemed of tin—a boy's play- thing. But George la not through. He has one more youngster left in the bag and will shake him out for the fimal fray to-day. It’s hard to get a notion out of Gibson's head. ‘This afternoon George proposes to take the blanket off John Dewey Mor- rison, said to be the doggonedest curve-ball pitcher that ever put a kink in the old pill, According to Pittsburgh players John Dewey is not only very young but when he gets worked up he has a curve that knots up like a pretzel. This does not annoy the Giants. They would admire a crack at a pretzel right now. Yesterday Gibson gave us Whitey Glaaner, a very young man who led the league records in pitching last year, despite his lack of years. He was thrown at our champs with sort of a flourish—and wound up. “Bloole!"’ Captain Bancroft hit the ball right back at him for a single. Groh, Meusel and Kelley also took a crack at the best Mr. Glazner had and two runs were in before the dust had settled. That would have won the ball game but It was not nearly enough to fatten batting averages and to cure the youngster, They went right on, firing at will. In the second inning Jess Barnes— yes, the pitcher—took a swing from his shoe strings and poked the ball against the fence for three baser Bancroft laughed at this and then took a similar belt at the old onion himself, That was enough fof Glaz- ner. Youth had been served, but harshly. Gibson, ever a theorist, now trots out Chief Moses Yellowhorse, the only remaining Indian {n baseball, very young and tender. Chief Yellowhorse is but twenty-one but big enough to be forty. But the Pawnee brave, even with his warm Oklahoma biood stirred to fighting piteh, could not check the paleface champs. They whaled into the noble redskin untl! he also went away from there. Then they tried a Mr. Barnhardt. It war all the same. ‘Those Giants have simply gone hor wild in the hitting department. The Pirates also have a very young man catching these days, a Mr. Gooch When it comes to shooting the pill around the bases and hitting—ani everything like that—Gooch {fs the goods. Like other youths, though, he gets excited, In the fifth inning, for instance, there were three Giants on the bases when a short fly was hit to the out- field. All of a sudden the Giants started running wild and the Pirates started throwing wilder, Mr, Gooch, the main farget, was scrambling in the dirt and dropping the ball and throwing it back to one base and another until the Glants had two runs in at no cost whatsoever to them- selves. ‘This violent disturbance around the plate was not entirely the fault of young Gooch, however. Not one of the throws to him was good. But he was one busy boy. The young blood of the pitching Pirates, though, miases the steady old Schmidt, who use to guide them over the rough spots, Schmidt would no’ sign a contract, or something like that, this year. Gibson, therefore, must and does depend on youth. cus Gets Busy and Routs St. Louis Team. By Joseph Gordon. 4 AE 8t. Louls Cardinals, a base- ball team which is known throughout the National Laegue circuit as the Clouting Ctreus, . may, before the day Is over, ask Com. , missioner Landis’s Committee on, Ethics to look into the circumstances, @ surrounding the third game of the, current series between the above men. tioned team and the Brooklyn Rob-« Ins, A sweeping investigation will in all likelihood be the result. The chief question upon which the« committee will have to decide {sq whether one team can steal another « team’s stuff with impunity. The ques- tion ts a very delicate one. It will re- quire a great deal of careful consider-1 ation before it can be fully determined i whether or not the Robins wer? act«: ing within their legal rights when they pulled the heavy clouting stunt , for which the Cards have been so heavily advertised. Some experts claim that it was a transgression of” rights. Some say it was not. Ands there the case rests. Not that the Cardinals mind cine the game. It was just the principle of the thing. Especially considering” that the Robins are contemplating very strongly continuing the stunt this afternoon, They already haya, two games to their credit In this series and “Dutch” Ruether is ready to step " in in an effort to make It three out of four. ‘Dutch’ has been saved by) Robinson for the final contest, and if the locals succeed in winning it they Move up a notch in the standing of the clubs, and perhaps two notches, « depending upon the result of to-day’s ~ Giants-Pirates game. And thus the Western invastori | which had been looked upon with so much apprehension, is beginning to assume a much milder aspect. The- worst part of it is over and so far it has been more of a dress parade than an invasion. The Robins have given them all as good as they re- ceived and in some cases a little bet- , ter. Out of the ten games they have played against Western teams they have taken five. And they are still in the first division. The latest victory was due to tha great work of Burleigh Grimes in the pitchers’ box; to the players who all” contributed with timely hits; to Ivy , Olsen, who played a fine rome at, short and above all, to Manager Rob inson, whose instructions to the meni played a leading role in the game. The Robins had a great day all around. , Clarence Mitchell, who {s now al~ ternating with Ray Schmandt at first, had a perfect day both in fleld~ and at bat. Out of five times up he, made two singles, a double, drew @ base on balls and sacrificed in a run, Tom Griffith, who is alternating with Bert Griffith In right field, made two sifigles, two runs and a base on balls out of five times up. All Wheat, could do yesterday was to get three hits and three runs out of five trips to the plate. But he made up for it with the bleacherites by telling them that it was Topercer batting for Lavan in the sixth. Rogers Hornsby, the strong man of the Clouting Circus, was the only, one of the troupe who was able to do his stuff. He laced out two singles” in the early innings and tn the eighth he lifted the ball, a brand new one, over the right fleld wall for his fit~ teenth home run (old English for cirw cuit clout) of the season, But in the fifth, with a man on second, the strong man struck out.
