Storey and Lombard, Are the Finalists in East Lake Tournament’
Birmingham Pro
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,
Frank ‘Sprogell received his start on the
links at the Arouimink Club
That he stuck dlu‘annfy to the game
is no doubt due to the fact that he is
the sen of a real sportsman, O. A,
B‘pronll. for fourteen ;fl\rn a profes
glonal baseball player, having perform
ed in the International League, the

Frank Sprogell absorbed the knowl
edge of th# game that he now pos
sesses while caddying at the Aronimink
Club. His kid days were spent in
watching John MecDermott building the
foundation for his brilllant career. Wal
ter Reynolds was another of Sprogell's
champions, and “tips’’ received from
this expert helped young Sprogell to
store up #recious bits of golf technique
for future use.

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 1914-15 held
forth at Philmont, where he acted as
assistant to James Douglas, the Scotch
professional. Under Douglas' discerning
eve Sprogell eliminated many rough
cdges that had crept into his playing.
In 1916 anxdl went to Bon Alr, and
one year later he was situated at Lin
ville, N. C. Over this course the Phila
delphln prgfigy set a record, complet
ing the streich with a card of 68, which
is viewed as a mighty Qrilliant achleve
ment by enthusiasts who are familiar
with the Linville lnks.
Last year Sprogell left the Roebuck
club to enter essential war 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

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 Itallans, 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 Tow
ered Resta's colors and swept home
ahead of the fleld in the Mercedes,
while Resta tralied him by 81-2 min
utes in the French 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 ‘Wwith mei
licking Ralph gave Dario at Indian
apolis, but continued throughout tho|
1915 season. Resta had all the luck,
his Peugeot dodging accldents, while
DePalma’s jinx followed him around
the entire circuit. In the first Chi
cago HOO-mile race DePalma was not
a starter, as his Mercedes was dnm-l
'aged in winning the Indianapolis race,
and Resta took first money. Resta,
also won a 100-mfle race at New
York on the Sheepshead Bay track
and another 100-mile event at Chi
cago, 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 MBay and
Providence.
The next year Resta again had the
best of the battle, copping the 19186
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 1560-mile,
Chicago 250-mile and the Vanderbilt
.
Ohio Has Only Woman
. .
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 rajvd Orphan Boy, 2:20%,
starting him nine fimes, and he never was
outside the money. She also raced the
green pacing gelding Baby K., by Commo
dore Kittson; Jr., but had bad luck with
him. At Burgettstown, Pa., after raeing
two heats he broke down and died’ almost
immediately. He had won twice and
showed in two other races. A
To replace Baby K., Miss Stibbs has pur
chased the pacer Grand Pointer, 2:19%
by Sidney Porter, out of Edna Baird.
The “Maplewood 100, the most pop
ular idividual trapshooting event of the
1917 and 1918 seasons is not being shot
this year. Some discussoin 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 hold good
in trapshooting. No event as popular
as the “"Maplewood 100" proved itself
to be should be allowed to die.

Cup. In all his other starts Resta
broke 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-
mile, took fourth In Tacoma's 300-
mile Montamarathon, and did not fin
ish in any of his other starts. Resta
‘drove the Peugeot in all these vents,
'while DePalma Jused both the Mer
cedes and a Peugeot.
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
was the leading driver. The entry
of DePlalma and his Packard .in the
Indianapolis 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
seasons of racing. and has been re
built to the last stud and holt, 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
speed 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
gons of Italy will be well worth
watching May 31,
L.ouis LeCocq, one of the dirt track
stars, who has been driving In the
speedway races in California, has been
nominated to pilot a Roamer in the
500-mile race. i i
While it will be LeCocq's first start
at Indianapolis as a driver, he knows
the track, having been a mechanic
for. Bddie Hearne in previous races.
The Roamer that LeCocq will drive
has been making speed history on the
Pacific Coast, and 1s 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
coe Sarles hHfy been using to spread
consternation among the drivers
starting at he Ascot Speedway in l.os
Angeles. In two 150-mile races staged
this season Sarles has come off Vie
tor twice with the car, driving the
first without a stop, and in the second
making three pauses for tires and in
ecldentally 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,

‘CODE BOOK’
By |. E. SANBORN.,
Ever hear of a professional baseball
club disciplining itself? Neither did I
until this vear. 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.
Kid Gleason has not fixed any time
for 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 ciauss
in any Sox contract. There isn't even
a rule against smoking cigarettes on
the bench in uniform—the ‘cardinal
sin'' of baseball,
Confidence in M=2n.
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 yow."”
Amplified to fit the slower baseball
minds of the occasional fans who don’t
see or read much baseball, that state
ment by Gleason was equivalent to say
ing there would be no rules until some-~
body on the team made tnem necessary.
Consequently the first player who vio-
Jates any of the common sense re
quirements 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 (0 see
that nobody abuses the confldence 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 iy 11 o'clock
at night while on the road, although
the usual limit fixed by managers is
11:80 p. m. There haven't heen any
11 a. m. breakfasts, due to oversleep
ing, although there is no morning call
left for the playvers unless they have to
catch 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 (o be had and
pienty of folks to tell them wher: w 0 get
it on the sly.
As to Pills on the Bench.
There hasn't been a cigareite smoked
on the bench. There never will be but
one, of course That is the secret of
the success of Gleason's svstem 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.
A Clean Newspaper for Southern Homes
The first playver who stays out after
midnight on the road will be the maker
of a rule requiring every one to be in
bed by 11, and the first guy who comes
down to breakfast at roortime will be
framing a regulation compelling every
one to be through the wmorning meal
at a certain hour, The players all real
ize that, and in consequence none of
them is taking a chance of getting im
bad with his playmates,
Gleason There All the Time,
They are, disciplining thomselves 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 before the manager gets a chance
at them. And if anybody does break
over, there won't have to be any
“snitching’” to let the boss know it, be
cause he iz on the job all the time—
the last man to retire at night and the
first man up in the morning. He is also
the 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
sel in good condition or his manager
will know it, and very probably will
know exactly why he is out of conli
tion, simply because he has been
through every possible phase of ;ho
game himself.

Horse Races Billed in
Honolulu on July 4
HONOLULU, T. H, May 24 —Horse
races with purses aggregating $2,000 will
be held on the Island of Maui as a fea
ture of the Fourth &f July celebration this
year. It is expected that many of the
turfmen whe enter horses for the races at
the territorial fair in Honolulu the week of
June 8-14 will take their stables to Maui
for the Fourth of July meet. Purses to
taling more than $5.000 wiil be offered f.r
the fair races. The Maui Cointy Fair
and Reeing Association has decidled to ex
pend $£25.000 in converting the old Kakulug
race track and grounds into a permmanent
recreation place.
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 their
vrivate pr,c-mélws.
This ia something which no patriotic
American wants, because we believe
that one of the keystones of our nation
al property is the free shooting which
our citizens have enjoyed.
There is no question but that free
shooting over Lum‘ 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
away 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 gize of the State of
Rhode Island, which will be free for
all time to the public for fishing, shoot
ing and camping.
Proublem In Some States,
A similar opportunity is easily avail
able for all States which have areas of
rough, non-agricultural land, The
problems is much more serious in States
possessing chiefly rich, agricultural
land, where the price per acre is so
high that very little land can be pur
chased with any reasonable appropris
tion, but even in such States swamp
lands could often be acquired by the
State at figures within reason,
It has been suggested that the hunt
ers’ money would go farther in pur
chasing shooting rights than in a,cqi‘,nr
ing the fee of the land i'self. his
plan is worthy of consideration, bat so
far as is known it has never been prac
tically worked out in any State.
Game Conference Resolution.
At the recent national 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 request
ed to take up this subject in the inter
est of the hunting and fishing public by
an effort to obtain control of large areas
of wild. lands for the estgblishment of
reservations on which t‘he public may
enjoy flshing and hunting privileges
under proper regulations.’
The subject of the resolution is com
mended to the serious study of game
commissions and sportsmen’s associa
tions States which have not free shoot
ing lands should by all means take
action to secure them where they can
reasonably be acquired.
Willard Rents

(By International News Service.)
TOLEDO, OHIO, May 24.—Prepara
tions were complete today for the
coming of Jess Willard. Willard left
the Pacific Coast today for Toledo
to begin training to meet Jack Demp
sey July 4. He is expected to reach

Wednesday.
A cozy five-room flat has been se
cured for him.
Teh arrival o’ “Big Bill” Tate, the
colored heavyweight, of New York;
‘Terry Kelelr, the Dayton lightweight,
and others less notable has given the
challenger a desire to being “mixing
'em” proper. His trainers, however,
adhered to the program of no hard
work before next week, and as a
result a little road work, some shadow
boving and a rub down again today
constiuted the training program.

Captain Zach Wheat
.
Never Argues With Ump
(By International 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 mem
ber of the Robins he has mnever been
known to argue with an umpire, and
he has never been put out of a game.
When an umpire’s decision is not made as
the members of the club think it should
have been, Captain Wheat depends on ITvan
Olson and L.ee 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
day 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.
Cue Star of Uruguay
Moves to New York
Senor Juan Vargas, of Montevideo, Uru
guay, a billiard player of unusual skill
has recently joined the National Associa
tion of Amateur Billiard Players. Senor
Vargas is regarded as one of the greatest
of South American amateurs. He has
moved to New York and I 8 connected with
a bank, particularly to study American
methods and to learn English:
As an enthusiast of billiards Senor Var
gns at once got in touch with Americans
interested in the game. The South Ameri
can first beat Tom Gallagher at 18-2 balk
line. Kater Gallagher beat the senor by «
small margin. :
In Gallagher's estimation Nat Hall, of
the Boston A. A., is the only amateur in
this country capable of heating the South
American, who can easily make runs of
60 and 70 on any table and averages of
between 12 and 20.
Vargas will enter the national class A
championship next year.
