Short Stop Star of the Minors
Sets New League Fielding Mark

 

 

By NORMAN 1'). BROWN
The latest sensation Til the minor
leagues is Charles “Buddy" Myer,
dashing shortstop of the New 0r-

Ilcans Southern Association team.

Myer’s latest feat. in proving his
worth as a shortfielder was that of
setting a new miner league tccord
for accepting fielding chances in a
some. Playlng against Little Rock in
a recent series Myer accepted 18
chances. nine assists and nine put.
outs.

This record dims the American
League record of 11’ chances, set on
June 10. 1902. by the famous old
Bobby Wallace, with the St. Louis
Browns. The National League re-
cord is one over Myer‘s. Buck in
1892 Dan Richardson, with; the
Washington club in the National
League then. accepted ”chances.

This font bf hlyer's was not a
fiash-in-the-pan affair. Myer has
been setting the league on fire all
season. In addition to fielding his
position brilliantly he has been hit—
ting at a .316 gait. lils general show-
ing is all the more remarkable in

 

 

view of the fact that this is his first
real experience in professional base-
ball. Tris Speaker. Indian boss. grab-

Year—Will Giants’

By JOHN B. FOSTER
(Copyright. 1925.)

NEW YORK. June 1.—-'I‘iie duel
between the Boston and the Giants
was one of the features of the Na-
tional League campaign, and illus—
trates how every clu‘b's hand is
turned against. the pcrennicl league
leaders. Thus early, Boston has won
as many games from the Giants as
it did all last season.

If this is a straw, does it convey
the information that the Giants, de-
spite' their early season 101111.11“!
going to fall into the bog before they
end the season?

On May 20 last year. the Giants
had a percentage of ,.611. Friday
they had .694. which is considerably
better. but is not as good as the fig-
ure they boasted before taking the
Boston club on for this last series.

‘ A year ago. the Chicago Cubs were
in second place. and serenely con.
iident that they were going to madch
along with New York to the end of
the Treason. But on Decoration Day
they got adoubie slamming th'at
took a lot of the conceit out of them,
althoughjhey letencame back. To-
da . the Cubs are in seventh place. '

e difference between the ’ Na-
tional League race of lost season and
this year's race to date is that this
year there are more than .1000
points between first and second
place. whereas last year there were
only .21 points.

Yet the fact that the Giants can
be beaten: by the Boston Braves a
team on which they ordinarily are
supposed to fatten. shows a little fsl-‘
tering of the four-times champions
for the moment And every little in.
cldent which happens that may, seem
to prongs hard luck for the Giants.

fifth championship in succession;
Sledding is none too easy as nos.-
dnd the Giants are a bogey man in-

associates.

The manner '11 which the Giants,

ed the National League into grief.

Halted or Will It Be a Run-away Race?

‘ much winning from the Giants, cithi‘

er. Of course it is expected that in
the natural order ,‘of things the
Giants will lose some games to
Brooklyn and Cincinnati. but than
have been times in National League
history when the Giants have men-
aged to win with almost clean slates
from some club less successful.

The eastern series will shortly be
flushed and ‘the Gaints will start
west. If they go west with a lead of
.100 pointsI they will be in better
position by half a week’s time than
they were in 192I. 1f the West fails

to show any more strength than it '

did against the Giants in New York,
the New York club will turn into
11011th of July with a lead of per-
haps .100 points and that will be
hard to“ cut‘dowxf‘that late. unless
the Giants sag immeasurably.

.Right'now New York feels the
loss of Prison and yet the team has
not sagged much in fielding or hit-
ting. It seems that the Boston play-
ers have been able to hit the Giant
pitchers when hits “meant. «victory
just as they did in Florida when the
wise men were saying that they
were the worst of the worst and
shouldn' i. beat anybody.-

But. little does Davy Bancroft care
what they say of him. so long as he
can win a. game or two new and
then. Baseball isn't going any too

iN DISPUTE

’ OVER TITLE.

Both Lewis and Stech- ‘

er Claim Champiimv
ship—Joe Will Not
Meet Strangler

CHICAGO. . Julie 1.--Ed "Strung-

ior"

Baltimore ... . . . . .

Lewis. conqueror of Wayne
“Big" Moon in their match at Mich-
igan City. Ind.. yesterday. had re.
ceived so many alluring offers that
he was puzzled as to which one to
accept. He was offered a renewal
of a European tour; cancelled at the
time Munn tossed him out of a ring
at Kansas City; a fifteen- week
vaudeville engagement and the op-
portunity to make a personal ap-
pearance with moving pictures of
Saturday‘s match.

The "Strangler." however. said he
will not make any decision for at
least‘two weeks. as he plans to
spend 'a. vacation with his parents at
Nekoosa. Wis. Billy Sandow. man-
ager of Lewis. said the "Strangler"
will meet any legitimate challengers
"for the title. which Lewis still
claim.

"Lewis convinced everybody Sat-
urday that the Kansas City bout was
it fluke victory for Munn " said
Sandow.

The world‘s heavy-weight wrest-
ling championship still ls in a mud-
dle with Lewis and Joe 'Stctcher.
the Nebraska farmer. both claiming
the title as a. result of their victories
Memorial Day.

A settlement probably will not be
inade until Lewis and Stocher meet.
and a. match between them appears
unlikely. Stetcher. after defeating
the veteran Stanislaus Zbysko. at
St. Louis yesterday. said he would
meet any legitimate challengers with
the exception of Lewis. who. he de-
clared. had refused to give him a
match while Lewis reigned as chum-
pion.

Stetcher asserts he had repeatedly
challenged Lewis when the latter
held the title, but that ho was

never givcn‘a chance to regain the,

championship which he had lost to
Lewis four years ago.

The 'Wiiton baseball team annexed
a pair of victories over the week-end
and ran limit“ winning streak to six
consecutIVe satires.

The Memorial Day galno was an
attraction well worth seeing and.
despite the inclement weather. a.
good crowd was present to see the
Wiltons and All-Stamfords battle for
11 innings before the tie was broken.
The score of this same was: Wil-
ton. 2; All- Stamfords. 1.

Yesterday 11 game brought togeth-
er the Bedford Park team of New
York and the Wiltons. In this con-
tosb the Wiltons broke loose and
bounded out 19 bin‘gles and a 10 to
2 victory.
