By George McManus
N EXT Saturday afternoon the
old Stewart Avenue hill willl
again become a scene of lively
Interest when the big powerful
stripped cars tear up the mile long
incline in daring attempts to lower
the records set last year by L. S.
. Crane's Pope-Hart ford and George
Hanson’s Studebakers.
All the latter part of this week the
^ course will be alive with contestants
on practice sprints, for the Board of
County Commissioners have allowed
the Automobile Association to have
exclusive use of the hill on the days
of May 14. 16. 16 between the hours
of one and three. This generous ar
rangement will allow ample time for
tuning up of cars and motorcycles
and give the driver.*’ an opportunity
to become familiar with the road.

J JHN I.. SULLIVAN cracked the

N'
they come. He Is const ructing; and
out of the twisted mass of baseball
junk which he took over at the be
ginning of the season, he is going to
have a smooth-running machine soon.
The Boston club, although many good
hitters have resided on the team from
time to time, lias long been the victim
of its own sluggishness. Stallings is
trying to add a little speed to his
club. He realizes its value. With this
notion iu mind, he went out and sign
ed Mann to play in the outfield. Stal
lings thinks the boy will make a great
ball player If given time.
“He’s the fastest man in baseball,”
the “Chief' told us when we were in
Boston in the early part of the sea
son, and he wasn't punning on the
name, either.
* • •
S tallings has also picked up
“Dick" Rudolph, the pitcher of
the International league, and once a
member of the Giants 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 hoys do not abandon the pursuit
of victory and blow up as former Bos
ton teams did. No, sir. Tt is In

they took two extra inning games
from tin 1 I’lrates last week, with
Wagner in both battles,
• • •
A BOl'T the Pittsburg club, 1 do
not know what to say. I have
not seen the team play this year so
far, but from the gossip in the league
and the box scores, It Is evident that
the club Is all off its balance. The
return of Wagner is going to help the
team a whole lot, but Clarke’s great
est disappointment is the failure of
his pitchers to come through. Before
the season, the Pittsburg pitching
stall' was regarded as one of the best
In the league. If not the very best,
both by the players themselves and
by the newspaper writers who follow
the teams. Many times ball players
will approve a man whom the gen
eral public and the writers cannot
sec. For instance. Fletcher, formerly
the shortstop of the Giants, was gen
erally rated more highly by ball play
ers than by the general public and
writers. They know his ground-cov
ering ability, and lie has the finest
pair of hands 1 ever saw on a ball
player.
• • •
B I T. to return to the Pittsburg
staff. Hendrix, who led the
league last year; Adams, Robinson,
O'Toole and Camnlta sound like a
collection of world beaters. You'd
think it would only be necessary to
have one of those names announced
as the Pittsburg pitcher, and the
gifme would be over. Not onp of
these men has been going smoothly
this year. Hendrix has been wild,
and O'Toole has l>een wild, and the
staff has lieen generally out of shape.
O'Toole Is hack at Ids old job of losing
games by one run. I guess he holds
the record for tilts jointly with "Nap"
Rucker.
• • •
r THE I’lrates were rated ns a great
-*■ slugging team before the season.
It was on the peerless pitching and
slambang slugging they were to ridel
through the league to an early pen
mint, because even the members of
the club themselves concede that the
team lacks s]>eed. But the pitchers
would hold the oppoelng teams to one
or two runs, and the Pittsburg boys
would pile up many with their bats.
and there would be a nice little ball
game for Mr. Clarke all wrapped up
in eotton batting and tin foil to be
put in the moth balls. However, the
pitchers have been jtermittiug many
runs, and the tatters 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.

rKW YORK, May 12.—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 not necessarily indicate the pennant
winner will be a product of the East.
At first, It was thought there would be only two dubs in the East that could put up any
kind of a front against the Western teams which were rated to be strong. These two were

Floto Defends Charley Cyton
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 be a trouble-maker in the
league, because those pitchers arc
sure to begin to twirl and the bat
ters to hit. Therefore, it pleases the
Giants immensely to see the Pirates
crowded down as far as possible at
this stage, especially as we are not up
any too high in the ladder of the
club standing ourselves.
(Copyright, 1913, by the McClure News*
paper Syndicate.)
By Otto C. Floto.
D ENVER, May 12.—Voicing their
opinions. That’s the privilege
0 of every gathering where b«be
ing bouts are decided. Yet how of
ten have we found the g**eat 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 groat
applause for the verdict. It’s all the
way you look at it; it’s the angle
from which you view the contest.
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 u leg
to stand upon.
* * •
T-J 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
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 pres? peports tell us that the
verdict was unpopular and that Kil
bane won. Perhaps so. But we
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.
* * *
| F the verdict was not in accord-
1 ant e 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?
GRIFFIN SUCCEEDS WEBER
AS AMERICUS MANAGER
AMERICUS, GA.. May 12.—The
Americus ball team left yesterday for
Waycross in charge of First Baseman
Hal Griffin as temporary manager.
Thoroughly 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 lesfe 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.
Ill luck of the Americus team re
cently has caused interest in baae-
ball to flag perceptibly, although a
winning streak would quickly restore
enthusiasm.
