BAD KNEE MAY CAUSE
HAUSER’S RETIREMENT
NEW YORK. May 17—Arnold
Huu^tr, the noted shortstop of the
Cardinals, may never play ball again.
It appears that Hauser broke a small
bone in his knee during a game last
fall but did not know It. During the
spring training trip he injured his
knee again bu' thought nothing of it
until the break was disclosed by the
-ray. Hauser has been in the care
of a surgeon ever since the flm week
in April. He is now able to hobble
with the aid of a cane, but the sur
geon is doubtful whether he can stand
the strain of running on the ball field.
The top picture shows
Mr. Orr at the finish of h
hard ball, and one difficult

crossed and run for the bag just as
the batter slips a hit past him.
It might be possible for the Crack
ers to besi^* themselves and steal a
few more bases. If they could, it
would be helpful.
It’s a pity to see all that good speed
going to waste.
• * *
AS u^ual, the Crackers have one!
** lamentable weaknetes—they are
not certain hunters. This seems to
be a chronic failing with local team*
Year after year the pet bunting per
formance of the locals has been a
weak pop to the pitcher.
Bunting is something that any two-
eyed man can learn—with practice.
Bill Smith believes in using the bunt
• now and thep. It probably would not
do a bit of harm to practice the thlnjf
j more. It is a sickening slight to see
ja batter ‘bunt out” and worse to see
, him pop into a double play when at
tempting one of the things.
* • •
j r\ON‘T fou believe, though, that
1 the Crackers aren’t going bp
make an awful fight for that old
pennant. In many ways Bill Smith
has one of the most remarkable teams
ever gathered in the Southern League
As outfielders, Bailey, Welchonce and
Long have never been equaled in-the
Southern League. That goes strong
I’ve seen them all and the Crackers
have the pick of the whole boilin’.
As an infield, you could equal Agler,
Alperman, Bisland and Smith about
once in fifty years.
We’ll know more about the qatching
s’taff w’hen Smith stops strengthen
ing, but it ought to be all right.
That brings us to the pitchers—
and let’s stop there. Because It’s
such a good place to get off.

LOS ANGELES, May 17. Los An
geles bettors have two difficult prob
lems to solve.
But for Joe Mandot’s defeat at the
hands of Leach Cross, the New Or
leans lightweight, w’ould reign a
heavy favorite over Bud Anderson
when the pair meet in the Vernon
arena Tuesday night.
But as it has been shown that a
chin jolt affects Mandot the same as
any ordinary, boxer and, recalling An
derson’s ability* to whip over a short
knockout blow in the clinches, the
sharpshooters are doing some tall
figuring.
In the matter of ring generalship
cleverness and greater experience, all
Is in fa vor of Miindbl. It is Ander
son s short anjt silencer that so far
has kepi the Oregon boy on even
terms with his Southern rlnfmate.
A year ago a match between Ad
Wolgast and Johnny Dundee would
not have been considered. Now. with
Ad fading away, Dundee is looked
upon as hiving an excellent chance
to put the ex-lightweight champion
down for the count.
Wolgast’s/ w ell-know n bore-in tac
tics are exactly to Dundee's liking.
Johnny like, nothing better than to
riand in the renter of the ring and
Uadi punch for punch. The Juno
in ; !0 w carries w ith'it an order tor
a derisive finish.
Ad will have the advantage in
weight, as they are boxing at catch-
weights. Woigast probably will
weigh between 130 and 133 pounds,
wiuii. Dundee's heaviest notch is
1-6 1-i.
BATTING IFAD
D ANE ROBERTSON. Mobile’s

Within the last few years hut
few players have come forward
in Atlanta to take the places of
the older men who are going
back. One of the most notable
of the men who are ‘‘coming” is
.1. K. Orr, Jr., one of the star
players now of the Atlanta Ath
letic Club. Mr. Orr has made
steadv progress in recent years,
and for the last two or three has
been a regular place winner, in
big tournaments. Mr. Orr will
undoubtedly be called on to rep
resent the club in several of the
big events in the South this year,
and will doubtless go to New Or
leans to play for the Southern
championship ther-.

WELSH GIVES REDMOND
SOUND BEATING AT BOSTON
WINNIPEG, May 17,-—Freddie Welsh,
lightweight champion of England and
challenger tor the world’s champion
ship, easily and in decisive fashion
scored a twelve-round victory over Jack
Redmond, of Milwaukee, in a twelve-
round bout here last night.
In the opening round Remond showed
up fairly well, but the second found
j Welsh had his man ail but out. Welsh
cut himself loose in the third and fol-
I towed up his opponent so vigorously that
Redmond's only hope was in clinching
Redmand put up a game tight, but his
1 clinchifcg spoiled the effect
It was rumored last week that im
portant negotiations, looking to the
opening of new branches in several
large centers, were under way, and
it seems highly probable that other
enlargements in the selling organiza
tion of the Gldsmobile line will be
announced shortly. What renders
this even more likely is that it is
! known in the trade that the Olds
Motor Works, during the past week,
has done the biggest business in the
history of the company for any like
period.
