Storey and Lombard, Are the Finalists in East Lake lournament
Al JESUP
Atlanta’s second Sunday baseball
game ls scheduled for tomorrow at
Camp Jesup, with the Crackers and
Memphis Chicks as contestants in the
main event, and Camp Jesup and
Camp Benning meeting in the pre
’-mhmry contest,
‘7 The Cracker-Chick game will begin
a4t 3 o'clock, with the soldiers teeing
off at 1 o'clock. A crowd of about
5,000 saw the first game at the camp
last Sunday, and a much larger at
tendance s expected by Manager
Frank at this double-beader.
Cracker fans will have an opportu
nity of seeing l.ou Christenbury, for
merly of the local club, playing short
for the visitors. This is is the first
series the Chicks have played here
this season, and, though they are
holding down the cellar position,
there is some good baseball in that
club and Manager Cy Barger has a
team that should make it hot for
some of the others before the curtain
goes down. ‘
He has a good pitching staff, with
Roy Kentress and Goodbred, from
Brooklyn, as the stars. Barger is
)’mlitt sorne twirler himself, and is
ore of the most versatile players in
the Southern lLeague. |
Catcher Styles Reports. |
It is probable that if Daniel Boone
does not pitch in today’s game, he
‘wnl be sent against the tail-enders
“unday afternoon. He has not work
ed since last Sunday, when he held
the Volunteers to three scattered hits,
and he 18 in splendid shape. Catcher
Styles, University of Alabama star,
joined the Frankmen Friday, and is
expected to catch Boone when the
lJatter toes the slab. The battery of
Boone and Styles was one of the
hardest to beat among the Southern
colleges this season.
Damrau to Mobile.
Third Baseman Harry Damrau,
signed only about a week ago, has
heen turned over to the M~ bile club
by Atlanta. With the signing of John
Dykes, Manager Frank had no place
for Damrau, and as Mobile is badly
in need of the player he was given
up without argument.
Dykes is playing a fine game at
second base, and the Cracker infield
compares with any in the league
now.

Birmingham P
PHILADELPHIA, PA., May 24.—This
season will find a Philadelphia profes
sional sowing the seed of golf culture
away down in Alabama. Frank T. Spro
gell, who was reared in the game in
this city, has been obtained to act as
instructor at the Roebuck Springs Golf
and Automobile Club, of Birmingham.
J'rank Sprogell received his start on the
links at the Arouimink Club.
That he stuck diligently to the game
is no doubt due to the fact that he is
the son of a real sportsman, O. A,
\‘Sm‘z)gnll, for fourteen years a profes
\sional baseball player, having perform
eéd in the International League, the
Joastern and the Pennsylvania State, is
the father of the Roebuck professional.
Watched McDermott.
IFrank Sprogell absorbed the knowl
‘&l2.‘ of ti# game that he now pos
stuses while caddying at the Aronimink
Club. His kid days were spent in
watching John McDermott building the
foundation for his brilliant career. Wal
tar Reynolds was another of Sprogell's
champions, and ‘“tips” received from
this expert helped young Sprogell to
store up erecious bits of golf technique
for future use.
| Was Aronimink Caddy.
The former Aronimink caddy branch
ed out as instructor at the Ridley Park
Club in 1912, The next year he went
to Pocono Pines, and in 1614-15 held
forth at Philmont, where he acted as
asgistant to James Douglas, the Scotch
professional. Under Douglas’ dis('erning
eve Sprogell eliminated many roug
edges that had crept into his playing.
In 1916 Sprogzell went to Bon Air, and
one year later he was situated at Lin
ville, N. (. Over this eourse the Phila
dalphia preiigy set a record, complet
ing the streteh with a card of 68, which
(*vlewerl a¢ a mighty brillilant achieve-
Mt by enthusiasts who are familiar
witii the Linville links.
Last year Sprogell left the Roebuck
club to enter essential warl work, and
what the Birmingham news has to say
about the youthful professional’s re
turn to the foregoing organization leaves
no room for doubt that his regime was
popular.

Ralph De Palma and Resta
To Clash at Indianapolis
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, May 24—
Ralph DePalma and Dario Resta will
run a race within a race in the 500-
mile Liberty Sweepstakes on the In
dianapolis Motor Speedway May 31
that will make the big five century
grind one of the most interesting
battles in American speed history.
Both are Italians, both are expert me
chanics, and both are cunning drivers.
The real battle, and it is practical
ly a grudge fight, started in the Van
derbilt and Grand Prize road races in
San Francisco at the exposition in
1915. In these two races DePalma was
forced to pull into the pits and watch
the English-Italian flit by in the Peu
geot to victory in both events, while
the Mercedes was moored to the pit
wall. After the race Resta was cred
ited with having made some remarks
derogatory to the driving abilities of
all the American pilots, which riled
DePalma.
In their next meeting, which oc
curred in the last 500-mile race, run
at Indianapolis in 1915, DePalma low
ered Resta’s colors and swept home
ahead of the field in the Mercedes,
while Resta trila:lied him by 81-2 min
utes in the rench Peugeot. De-
Palma handed Resta one of the neat
est lickings that the 1916 champion
ever got, and the only time in the his
tory of Dario's meteoric career in
America that he finished second in a
big race was in this event. Now they
are going to take up the cudgels
again. This time DePalma will drive
a twelve-cylindered aviation-engined
Packard, while Resta will sit behind
the wheel of a shining aluminum
bodied English Sunbeam. Both will
have fast cars, with DePalma having
a slight edge if there is any advan
tage.
The vendetta did not end with the
licking Ralph gave Dario at Indian
apolis, but continued throughout the
1915 season. Resta had all the luck,
his Peugeot dodging accidents, while
DePalma’s jinx followed him around
the entire circuit. In the first Chi
cago 500-mile race DePalma was not
a starter, as his Mercedes was dam
aged in winning the Indianapolis race,
and Resta took first money. Resta
also won a 100-mile race at New
York on the Sheepshead Bay track
and another 100-mile event at Chi
ecago, making three first and one sec
ond for the season, with a total purse
of $43,500. DePalma was also busy
taking down $24,600 with his Indian
apolis vietory, a second at Des
Moines, first at Providence and places
in races at Sheepshead Bay and
Providence.
The next vear Resta again had the
best of the battle, copping the 1916
A. A A, driving championship, while
DePalma was forced to be content
with fourth position. Dario scored
first in the Indianapolis 300-mile,
Chicago 300-mile, Omaha 150-mile,
Chicago 250-mile and the Vanderbilt

Ohio Has Only Woman
. o
Trotting Horse Trainer
(By International News Service.)
CLEVELAND, May 24,—0hi0 has a wo
man trotting horse trainer and driver,
thought to be the only one in the country,
She is Miss Vesta Stibbs, of Lebanon, Ohio,
Last vear she raced Orphan Boy 2:20%,
starting him nine times, and he never was
outside the money. She also raced the
green pacing gelding Baby K., by Commo
dore Kittson, Jr., but had bad Jluck with
him. At Burgettstown, Pa. after racing
two heats he broke down and died almost
immediately. He had won twice and
showed in two other races.
To replace Baby K., Miss Stibbs has pur
chased the pacer Grand Pointer, 2:19%,
by Bidney Porter, out of Edna Baird.
The ‘“Maplewood 100, the most pop
ular idividual trapshooting event of the
1917 and 1018 seasons is not heing shot
thia year. Some discusgoin at Maple
wood last July caused the event to be
dropped. In sports, as a usual thing,
an event that takes is immediately made
a fixture. That rule does not hoid good
in trapshooting No event as popular
as the ‘‘Maplewood 1007 proved itself
to be should be allowed to die.

Cup. In all his other starts Resta
lbroke up and did not finish. In that
'season DePalma was second in the
Chicago 500-mile, won the Des Moines |
| 150-mile, won the Minneapolis 150- |
i mile, took fourth in Tacoma's 300-
' mile Montamarathon, and did not fin
' ish in any of his other starts. Resta
Idrove the Peugeot in all these vents,‘
while DePalma used both the Mer
| cedes and a Peugeot. ]
i In 1917 Resta did not try to defend
his laurels and DePalma ran second
to Louis Chevrolet in victories, with
his Packard 12, while last season he
Iwa.s the leading driver, The entry
of DePalma and his Packard in the
llndiannpolls race means that Resta
and his Sunbeam must have a world
of speed to figure in the winning of
first place. DePalma has demon
strated in both the 1912 and 1915 In
dianapolis events that with a break in
the luck he is to be feared more than
any other driver; he has a car that
has been tested and tried in two
geasons of racing, and has been re
built to the last stud and bolt, while
Resta has a new but very fast car
with half as many cylinders as De-
Palma’s, and Resta knows how to
nurse a car and get the last ounce of
lspeed out of the engine.
( All things being considered, De-
Palma has a slight edge from a me
chanical standpoint and a big bulge in
popularity, for Ralph has always been
the favorite of favorites in a Hoosier
500-mile event, while Resta never has
and possibly never will be a popular
hero. The spite race between the two
sons of Italy will” be well worth
watching May 31.
Louis LeCocq, one of the dirt track
stars, who has been driving in the
speedway races in California, has beeni
nominated to pilot a Roamer in the
500-mile race.
While it will be LeCocq’s first start
at Indianapolis as a driver, he knows
the track, having been a mechanic
for Toddie Hearne in previous races.
The Roamer that LeCocq will drive
has been making speed history on the
Pacific Coast, and is regarded as one
of the fastest cars that the West will
cend East to grab a share of the $50.-
000 purse. This is the car that Ros
lcoe Sarles has been using to spread
consternation among the drivers
starting at he Ascot Speedway in Los
Angeles. In two 150-mile races staged
this season Sarles has come off Vic
tor twice with the car, driving the
first without a stop, and in the second
making three pauses for tires and in
cidentally setting a track record by
averaging 70.62 for the distance.
On the dirt track circuit LeCocq
was always regarded as a = clever
driver and one who knew all the
tricks that go to make dirt track
racing exciting and dangerous. His
backers in Los Angeles expect him to
repeat the showing that Sarles made
with the Roamer in the 500-mile
event,

WHITE SOX
|
HAVE OWN
. 9
|
' By |. E. SANBORN.,
| KEver hear of a profesgional baseball
club disciplining itself? Neither did 1
| until this year. The White Sox are
doing it. They haven't had a chance
'as yet to break a managerial rule be
cause there aren't any.
i Kid Gleagon has not fixed any time
,ror his players to turn in at night, nor
'any hour for them to get up for
| breakfast. He hasn’t laid down any
'rules about hours while on the road or
'at home, There is no prohibition clausa
in any Sox contract. There isn't even
a rule al.glainst smoking cigarettes on
the ben in uniform—the ‘“cardinal
sin” of baseball,
Confidence in Man.
The new Sox manager's idea of hard
and fast regulations was expressed in
. he first meeting of the year in the
clubhouse at Comiskey Park, about as
follows:
“There ain’t going to be any rules on
this club this year unless you guys
make 'em. It's up to you.”
| Amplified to fit the slower baseball
minds of the occasional fans who don't
gee or read much baseball, that state
ment by Gleason was equivalent to say
ing there would pe no rules until some
body on the team made tnem necessary.
Consequently the first player who vio
lates any of the common sense re
"qulrements of training will be in bad
with all the rest of the players on the
team.
What's More, it Works.
Instead of having to watch his men
himself, to see when they go to bed
and when they order their bacon and
eggs, he has 21 scouts on the job to see
that nobody abuses the confidence re
posed in him by the boss, who has been
a player himself and knows from long
experience the varying dispositions of
diamond athletes.
The result has been that every Sox
player has been in the hay by 11 o'clock
at night while on the road, although
the usual limit fixed by managers is
11:30 p. m. There haven't been any
11 a. m. breakfasts, due to oversleep
ing, although there is no morning call
left for the players unless they have to
catech a railroad train. There has been
no drinking, in spite of the fact the
Sox have been in several “dry” States
where the temptations were more plen
tiful than in the wet ones, because
{there was plenty of stuff to be had and
plenty of folks to tell them whera o get
it on the sly.
As to Pills on the Bench.
There hasn’'t been a cigarette smoked
on the bench. There never will be bu!
one, of course. That is the secret of
the success of Gleason's systam It
| ever a Sox player lights a pill while on
the bench that will sound the death
knell for cigarettes for the rest of the
{ season
| The first player who stays out after
midnight on the road will be the maker
’nf a rule requiring every one to be in
bed by 11, and the first guy who comes
| jown to breakfast at roortime will be
| framing a regulation compelling every
| one to be through the morning meal
at a certain hour, The players all real
ize that, and in consequence none of
them is taking a chance of getting in
|h;.d with his playmates.
Gleason There All the Time.
They are disciplining thamselves and
know that iif they break any of the or
dinary rules they are going to be hopped
on by twenty of their own teammates
for it béfore the manager gets a chance
{at them. And if anybody does break
{ over, there won't have to bhe any
“snitching” to let the boss know it, be
| cause he is on the job all the time
l'hr‘ last man to retire at night and the
| first man up in the morning He is also
!Hw first man in uniform and the last
man out of it
There aren’t any rules of training on
]the White Sox club, but every man of
them knows he has got to keep him
!*«-H in good condition or his manager
will know it, and very probably will
| know exactly why he is out of conli
'tim“ simply because he has been
through every possible phase of the
lgame himself

Some persons believe ‘hat this coun
try is on the verge of becoming Euro
peanized to the extent that in a very
few years we will have no shooting ex
cept by landowners' or lessees on thelr
vrivate preserves.
This is something which no patriotic
American wants, because we belleve
that one of the keystones of our pation
al properiy is the free shooting which
vur citizens have enjoyed. \
There is no question but that free
shooting over large sections of the
country is seriously endangered and
that in some places it has disappeared,
Already states like New York, Penn
sylvania and Utah have gone a long
way to secure and preserve hunting
grounds available for the poor man as
well as the rich. New York, with its
Adirondack and Catskill Parks, has an
area twice the size of the State of
Rhode Island, which will be free for
all time to the public for fishing, shoot
ing and camping.
Problem in Some States. ‘
A similar opportunity is easily avall
able for all States which have areas of |
rough, non-agricultural land. The
problem is much more serious in Smleu‘
possessing chiefly rich, agricultural
land, where the price per acre is so
high that very little land can be pur
chased with any reasonable uppropr‘.l-‘
tion, but even in such States swamp
lands could often be acquired by the
State at figures within reason, |
It has been sufgested that the hnnt-‘
ers’ money would go farther in pur
chasing shooting rights than in acqxl.xtr-i
ing the fee of the land litself. his
plan is worthy of consideration, but so
far as is known it has never been prac
tically worked out in any State.
Game Conference Resolution.
At the recent mnational conference of
the American Game Protective Asso
ciation a resolution was passed in favor
of free hunting grounds. The resolution
read as follows:
“Resolved, That in consideartion of
the restricted areas upon which free
hunting can be enjoyed by the resi
dents of many States, it is the sense of
this association that the several States,
fish and game departments be re(}uoat—
ed to take up this subject in the inter
est of the hunting and flshinf public by
an effort to obtain control of large areas
of wild lands for the establishment of
reservations on which the public may
enjoy fishing and hunting privileges
under proper regulations.'
The subfeot of the resolution is com
mended to the serious study of game
commissions and sportsmen’'s associa
tons States which have not free shoot
ing lands should by all means take
action to secure them where they can
reasonably be acquired,

Never Argues With Ump
(By Internationai News Service.)
NEW YORK, May 24 -—Zach Wheat, of
the Robins, is one of the most quiet and
modest players to captain a major league
outfit During his nine seasons as a meimn
ber of the Robins he has never been
knowm to argue with an umpire, and
he has never been put out of a game.
When an umpire’s decision {8 not made as
the members of the club think it should
have been, Captain Wheat depends on Ivan
Olson and Lee Magee to do all the kicking.
Incidentally it may be said that these ag
gressive players are capable of uttering
their captain’'s thoughts. On the opening
dav of the season Umpire Klem said that
Wheat generally says about five words to
him a season, but now that he is a cap
tain of a club he will only say about three.
