INDIANS AND ATHLETICS BADLY IN NEED OF PITCHERS;-RED SKINS HITTING WELL ABOVE M MARK -- .— - - - George l lile, Best Hurler in Circuit Cast Season, Cant Get Started This Year; Coveleskie Has Disap pointed. ISy DAVIS .1. WAI.SII, 1-lW YORK. May 7.—Baseball fans, ■seldom al loss to explain anything from comic opera to sleeve garter* —are unable to account for the early season flop of the Cleveland Indians and Phil adelphia Ath letics. Picked to roost high in the first division, they have been consistent losers sines the opening of the American league and only an Immediate and rjjflstalned reversal of form can save them from staking the rest of the field to a running start of such pro portions that both clubs might very well be eliminated from further con sideration. The aicragrs (ell w hat lias Imp pendrd hut not why. The house of McKilliruddy, » had last in eluh butting. Inis only one pitcher, Kddie Rommell, who seems (o know his business. The ludiiins are hitting like foqls, well ahova .3(10. hut Speaker's pitching lias hern all lo the falsbtto. Just why this should be is a mat ter above and beyond ordinary com prehension. I'hle was the best pitcher in the league in 1923, hut can not win this season; Coveleski and Morton have disappointed; Edwards and Shante, youths, have done about, a.-. well as might he expected of them. Time may effect a change for the better but it is evident that the In dians will go nowhere in particular with tlie kind of pitching they are getting at the moment. The \thletics, rated second by some few of flip kinder critics have just finished reeling off eight straight defeats. Outside or Sim mon, Hale and Hauser, there isn't a man in the outfield who is hit ting a lick. Paul Strand, fence breaker in the Coast league, has hu.sted right In Mr. Marks sad countenance; Itisliop has played fair hall at second base but lias been handicapped by illness; Gal loway has not lived up to his promise of other years at short stop. Also, and furthermore, no pitching. Cornelius is said to have paid $ 13T». 000 for Simmons, Strand and Bishoo during the off season. Simmons is the only one of this trio who has delivered. He looks like a real hit ter. Strand seems to have been the beneficiary of one of those Salt Bake City batting averages. The air is so light in that locality that the hall travels harder, further and funnier and in consequence some very curious performances are turned in by men who ran not make the riffle in the majors. Perhaps Strand will runic through later hut unless he does—to say nothing of some eollahnnithni from others on the hall chili—the Macks seem fated to remain somewhat as is. r The Indians are a different proposi tion. however. There is too much hitting on that outfit for a second division rating and several of the pitchers, notably Uhle. are certain to come around. Uhle has been troubled by a sore arm. The warm weather will fix that—and other things. — EASTERN TRACK CRITICS FAVOR STANFORD UNIVERSITY ATHLETES TO WIN EASTS ANNUAL MEET Well-Balanced Squad of Palo! Alto Collegians Doped to Da fend Far West’s Track Hon ors at Harvard Stadium, May 30 and 31. By Associated Pres*. M ._ E\V YORK, May 7 w —dntcrcolleg i a t e track and field laurels, which have been carried back to the Pacific coast by California for the past three seasons, probably will remain in the far west, in the opinion of well informed observers here, but not in tlie possession of < hampion Golden Bears. K x p ’ r t s who liase their tribulations on spring showings su far favor Stanford uni versity to carry off the east's major college track and field pri*e in the meet to he held at Harvard stadium on May 30 and 31. This is based not only on Stanford’s recent decisive de feat of California in their dual con test but on the well balanced squad of the Palo Alio collegians. Stanford will have a powerful field squad, headed by Glenn liartranft,^ brilliant dis<us thrower and shot put-1 ter. Tlie team also has some excel- j lent men in the runs and hurdles. California has another strong entry, headed by Captain Bill Neufeldt, who led the individual scorers with 11 points in the 1923 championship, but does not shape tip to his former standard, in tlie belief of critics. The squad of 10 men upon \Chlch the Shampions w ill depend includes only bur point scorers of last year who accounted for 21 of tlie California's 39 1-2 points. Besides Neufeldt. they include Witter, shot putter; Becker, hurdler, and Boren, broad jumper.

Fourteen fights were on the bill Tuesday and it is difficult to pick a feature of the lists, but certain it if that if any one battler were to be singled out of the 28 who showed their wares, Royal Coffman would be 'n the first row, after the finals had made final judgment.

Siki, as every one knowrs, is bar barian. Not exactly to the extent that he licks the platters when he eats In a restaurant. But he has a habit of licking the waiters. Now "Battling" Munroe could think of no greater test courage for himself than to subdue his better half.
