lawn McGraw was all smiles yes-
terday as he sat in his dugout at the
Polo Grounds and watched his 860,-

my from West Virginia, turn in a
8-2 victory over the Brooklyn Dodg-
ers in ten innings. During this
period Way 0 only allowed Rob-
bie's crew ”hits, two of which
were homo runs in the very first

It must be admitted right at this
stage of the gamg. that \Vayland
Dean has the goods and that he will
make the grade in the 'National
league. He looks like the man that
is going to pitch the Giants into an-
other World Series. Yesterday he
looked like 850,000 well invested.

In the very first inning of the

game.

very long. .Bernie Nels. the first

batter to face him. grounded out to
Captain Frankie Frisch. Jimmy
Johnston the next batter. caught
hold of one on the end of his bat
and drove it into the left field stands.
It looked bad for the young rookie.
Then Zack \V’heat popped. out.‘ nt‘o

but old Jake Fournier s a -
finanother into the right. field
stands for the second homer of the
inning. but it was the end. From
that time on Dean shut the Dodg-
ers out and only allowed them four
scattered hits. Not such a bad per-
formance for a rookie.

Dazzy Vance. the strikeout king
of the national League. was on the
mound for the Dodgers and pitched

.good baseball. but had to be satis-
fied with the short end of the score.
He only allowed the Giants nine hits
' the ten innings.
mStill the castofis smile. Alex Fer-
guson another Yankee castoff, turn-
ed on his former team mates in Bos-
ton yesterday and held them to five
hits and one run. while the Red Sox
pounded Houi, Roettger and Shields
for 14 bingies and nine runs. The
Yanks sure looked like hitless won-
ders .as they dropped their second
game in suceession to the Sox. ’lhe
wrecking crew of Babe Ruth and
Company are not running on sched-

one hit out of four trips to the plate

GALLAGHER IN
MARATHON RACE

Former Yale Star Will
Stage Comeback in
B o s t o 11 Distance
Race Saturday

 

NEW YORK, April 17—Follow-
era of long distance running will be
pleased to learn that Johnny Galla-
gher. former Yale University ath-
lete. and a member of the Ameri-
can Olympic team to Stockholm in
1912. is again in training for a
berth on this year's team. Galla-
gher has been in strict training for
several months and hopes to prove
in the Boston A. A. marathon. the
final Olympic tryout for the knights
of the marathon trail, which takes
place over the Hopkingion 10 Bos-
ton route next Saturday, that ’he is
as good as in the days of not too
long ago.

Gallagher was one of the few
college athletes known to hankcr
for the tWenty-six mile competitive
journey over dirt roads and pave-
ment and hill and dale. Ono usu-
ally flnds the college athlete con-
centrating on any distance below
three miles. Talk anything above
this distance to the majority of col-
lege trackmen and they hold up
their hands in horror. America is
paying the penalty of this aversion
to long distance running. however,
as the results of the Stockholm
Olympic games of .1912 and the
Antwerp Olympics of 1920 clearly
prove.

Interest in Distance Races Legs.

Several times during the last three
years athletic officials with naught
but a patriotic interest in the Ulym-
pic affairs of their country have
advocated putting a live mile event
on the I. C. A. A. A. A.. program.
The matter has never been given
serious attention. however, due in a
great measure to the reluctance of
the college athlete to train for and
compete in long races, or any race
over two miles. The athletes‘argue
that the long distance events are
usually the last ones to be contes-
ted in any set of track and field
games. and as a result they go
through the grind with none but

their opponents and empty seats
for company. Athletes contend that
the spectors speedly show disin-

terest when a long distance race is
announced, and if it happens to be
the final event on the program. as
it usually is. the seats are quickly
emptied. .
The former Eli. during a. conver-
sation with Abel Kiviat of the Wil-
co A. A. in Chicago last week ex-
pressed himself as satisfied with ihs
condition for the long Boston grind
of next Saturday. "I've trained
harder for the Boston A. A. race
than for any other during my car-
eer. I realize that my long aiise‘ico
from competition till count scvei ;-
ll‘ against me on April 19, but I
feel sure that my present physical
and mental condition will offset all
that. I have managed to work out
three times a week since last Jan-
uary and I never felt better in my
life," said Gallagher in part. Iilviat
told :‘ue writer this morning that
Gallagher looked fit and was chock
full of confidence. "It would not
surprise me to see Johnny come
through quite near the head of the
procession next Saturday. He is up
against I. hard game. but he has
had a lot of experience and knows
how to act when the breaks begin
to go against him," said the little
State Island speed merchant.

Comps out of New York the wild
story that Jack Dempsey has posi-
tivo‘;y and absolutely fought his
last fight. The reasons given for
his quit-t but final retirement are
his increasing \vciglit. his wealth
and his plans for becoming a staid
old married man.

The tin-named "friend" who is-
sues ilre, statement. says that Demp-
sey feels that there is no man in
the game who can give. him a good
fight. barring Luis Firpo ——- who
beat. Jack to it. as n. rctirer-er the
other dny by saying he had hung
up his gloves. Lacking worthy op~
ponents since his last meeting with
Fri-p0, Dempsey has not kept in
fighting trim and would find the
task of returning to ring form a
hard one. the announcer says.

As to the Champion's personal
plans. it is said that/lie plans to
ring after signing the life contract.

Now all this sounds real fine. It
may be that the-game is to lose
Dempsey at the height of his career.

 

’ But if he has decided to or is con-next fall.

Austin suggested to Sislcr that he

Jim‘s word for the kid after watch-

crack out two hits.

I saw Tyrrcll at Mobile during

to have the makings. He had sev-

in. the exhibition games and looked
good.

ball he starred as conic-r of the

NEW HAVEN, April
lucky as he was in his attempts to
earn football honors because of the
injuries that beset him almost con-
stantly Charley O'Hearn has a cap-
ital chance to go out'with colors
flying as captain of this year's base-
ball nine at Yale.

O'Hcarn is expected to be the reg-
ular first baseman. and he can
play third in emergency. although
he doesn’t seem to be as easy in that
position as he is at first. The throw
bothers him at third. Except for
the boy who is born to be a. third
baseman college players always have
irouhle with that long throw across
the field from third to first. It is a
throw that requires the best a man
has in his arm. and it is also a
throw that must be made from all
kinds of pickups.

The third baseman lives in per-
petual hurry. and this is especially
true of college teams. because so

many of the college boys who play'

ball can scamper from home to
first base as if they had heard news
of being elected to some secret so-
ciety to which it had been their am-
bition to be.choscn. There are fast
men playing professional baseball
and many of them. but there have
been baseball nine in colleges all of
whose members could go to first at
an eleven second sprint.

Neale of the football eleven of
1923 is on the Yale nine. He comes
of his baseball very handily. lie
was brought up where the boys all
are good baseball players. His bro-
ihcr was a member of the Cincinnati
team and a. very fast fielder with
not quite the ability that a ' good
outfielder should have with the bat
To stick in the major show.

Behind The Bat

Sill Mallory is catching again for
Yule. The man whose football team
made the lilis g'ne thanks for days
at a time is one ot the best college
catchers out. because he is a ball
player. There isn't anything orna-
mental about him. He is a straight-
forward. well disciplined baseball
player, who gives all he has all of
The time. and whose judgment be-
hind the bat has been proved to hang
a good foundation.

Mallory should load all college
catchers this year, and he will not
play professional baseball so scouts
will simply waste their efforts hang-
ing around trying to get him in the
field of the “pros" Pcrhaps he would
not make a professional catcher
who would succeed. He could handle
the ball, but it's safe enough to say
that he never would put his head
into a professional game as he does
into games for Yale. Mallory is one
of these real college catchers about
which writers of boys’ tales love to
permit their imaginations to rove.
not realizing that one of the real
kind handles the Yale pitchers.

“'ch and Murphy are outfielders.
“’ecd can play first base. If O’Hearn
were called to the other side of the
diamond “'ecd would play first well.
but. he looks better for the outfield.

The real going surpriscat the mo-
ment on the team is Lindley. One
day he plays short and the next sec-
ond base. and wherever he plays
not only can he ‘ficld well but he is
bailing hard and timely. If he keeps
up the pace he is going now he will
be after the. record that was made
by )incAldrich. who. as a combina-
tion fielder and batter. was one of

The best men Yale put on a. ball

nine.

Lindley is likely to make the Yale
infield more of an institution than
it seemed to be when the baseball
season was ready to start. If be con-
tinues to show the speed that he has
and plays with the dash that has
been prominent since he began there
will be plenty of spectators to watch
this young infielder because a. good
college infielder can draw the base-
ball enthusiasts as well as the pro-
fessional infielder, Should Lindlcy
he the baseball star of the year it
will be a storke of good luck for
the first time as coach.

Lou-joy On The Tami

The stibstituto catcher will be
Lovejoy, that excellent center of the
football eleven of 1923. If Lovejoy
can pass the hall to the second base
man as he did to the. backs on the
Yale football team players of other
teams would better beware how they
try to steal bases on the young man
from New Jersey. Lovejoy will have
a fine athletic career for his share
in college days with a splendid re-
putation in.football and another

 

chance coming in baseball.
