EM YORK. May l_ After the first week of the Invasion of the East by the Western
clubs of the National League, one thing is very apparent. The East, as a whole, is
stronger than the West this year, but that does lint necessarily indicate the pennant
winner will be a product of the East.
At first, it was thought there would be only two clubs in the East that could put up any
kind of a front against the Western teams which were rated t*» la* strong. These two were
New York and Philadelphia, but now Brooklyn, has come through with the best-looking team
that has l>een developed In years across the bridge. Boston is also playing goojl enough ball.
* * *
I WANT to pause for a minute to discuss Boston and Pittsburg. Behind the Beaneaters this year is a shrewd
manager, one who is building. “Chief” Stallings is picking up Jill the likely ball players he can find around
loose, and then sorting them out

as
they ciune. He la constructlng; and
out of the twisted mass of baseball
junk which he took over at the be-
ginuiiiK of the season, he is going to
have a smooth-running machine soon.
The Boston club, although mauy good
hitters have resided on the team from
time to time, has long been the victim
of its own sluggishness. Stallings is
trying to add a lltlle sj>eod to his
club. He realizes its value. With this
notion in mind, he weut out and sign
ed Maim to play in the outfield. Stal
lings thinks the boy will make a great
hall player if given time.
"He's the fastest man in baseball,"
the "Ollier’ told us when we were in
Boston in the early part of the sea
son. and lie wasn’t punning on the
name, either.
• • •
S TABLINGS has also picked up
"Hick" Rudolph, the pitcher of
the International league, and once h
tncinlier of the (Hants for a brief
period. Rudolph will win a lot of
games for Stallings. Then there is a
different spirit manifested by the club
now. which is a reflection of the Stal
lings style. When the game gets hard,
the boys do not abandon the pursuit
of victory and blow up as former Bos
ton teams did. No, sir. It is in
there lighting, as proved by the fact

from the Pirates last week, with
Wagner in both battles.
slambnng slugging they were to ride
through the league to an early lieu
nant, because even the members of
the club themselves concede that the
team lacks speed. But the pitchers
would hold the opposing teams to one
or two runs, and the Pittsburg hoys
would pile up many will) their bats,
and there would be a nice little ball
game for Mr. Clarke all wrapped up
in cotton batting and tin foil to lie
put in the moth halls. However, the
pitchers have been permitting many
runs, and the hatters have not been
slugging: and the race is not de
stroyed yet.
“The Pirates condition slowly. Wait
until the warm weather sets in,” a
Pittsburg rooter whispered into my
ear the other day.
It will do the team little good to
round into form along in September.
It is my honest opinion that the club
Is going to get on the move one of
these days and kick up a lot of dust.
It yet will lie a trouble-maker in the
league, because those pitchers are
sure to begin to twirl and the bat
ters to hb Therefore. It pleases the
(Hants immensely to see the Pirates
crowded down as far as possible at
tills stage, especially as we are not up
any too high in the ladder of Hie
club standing ourselves.

D ENVER, May 12.—Voicing their
opinions. That's the privilege
of every gatitering where box
ing bouts arc decided. Yet how of
ten have we found the great major
ity in error while taking issue with
the Judge who renders the decision.
Many and many a time have I seen
the third man in the ring absolutely
correct in his judgment, and yet the
crowd howled its disapproval. Then
also have I seen the referee quite
wrong and the crowd give him great:
applause for the verdict. It’s all the
way you look at it: it’s the angle
from which you view’ the content.
And yet with it all I’ll wager that
the man in the ring is more often
correct than the crowd seated about
the arena. The official in the in
closure is generally one supposed to
know the game, the tricks, advan
tages that score points and every
thing else that becomes necessary to
make him a fair and impartial judge.
For that reason he is better able to
reach a correct verdict than the out
sider, who comes only on occasions to
view the fights, and who nine times
out of ten is prejudiced. Of course,
when an incompetent man officiates,
then our argument is dashed to the
ground—we are left without a leg
to stand upon.
* • •
I_I OW many times have you sat at
* A the ringside when one man’s
friends seemed in the majority?
You've seen this favorite beaten a
mile, and yet the referee, for fear
of adverse criticism, either calls the
bout a “draw” or awards the deci
sion to the man whose friends are
shouting for him and yet who failed
White City Park Now Open
to win. I’ve seen this occur time and
again, and so have you.
Just now’ Charley Eyton of Los
Angeles Is being "panned" for call
ing the Dundee-Kilbane bout a draw.
The press reports tell us that the
verdict was unpopular and that Kil
bane won. Perhaps so. But w«
have always found Eyton quite cor
rect In his decisions. For years he
has officiated in Los Angeles, and no
complaint has been heard. He may
have erred this time for all we know.
But wait until the smoke of battle
clears away and you’ll find that his
verdict wasn’t so far amiss. That,
at any rate, is my guess.
• * ♦
IF the verdict was not in accord-
1 a nee with the facts, then Kilbane
has but himself to blame. His stal
ling tactics are quite unbecoming for
a champion and have got him in bad
in the East until his last fight, when
he redeemed himself with a knock
out and regain some of his standing.
A champion is supposed to carry the
brunt of the battle. If he allows
his opponent to assume the aggres
sive from start to finish, how can he
hope to gain the favor of the referee?
Isn’t the fellow who rushes the bat
tle and makes it possible for the
spectators to see real action entitled
to something?

AMERIOl'S. GA . May 12.—The
Americus ball team left yesterday for
Waycross in charge of First Baseman
Hal Griffin as temporary manager.
Thorcfughly tired of continued defeat
sustained by the Americus aggrega
tion. the directors met this morning
and relieved Manager Harry Weber
of that office, temporarily at least,
putting Griffin in charge.
Americus has lost seven of the nine
games played already, and while
Manager Weber ascribes defeat to
bad luck, local fans are less char
itably inclined. It is generally sus
pected here that the salary limit rule
Is not being observed by all of the
clubs of the league, and as Americus
is living within the salary limits she
is placed at disadvantage in employ
ment of proficient players
III luck of the Americus team re
cently has caused interest in base
ball to flag perceptibly, although a
winning streak would quickly restore
enthusiasm. - .

not know what to sa.v. 1 have
not seen the team play this year so
far. but from the gossip in the league
and the lx>\ scores, it is evident that,
the club is til! off its balance. The
return of Wagner is going to help the
team a whole lot, hut Clarke's great
est disappointment is the failure of
his pitchers to come through. Before
the season, the Pittsburg pitching
staff was regarded as one of the best
in the league, if not the very liest.
