Team to Meet
Bear s Today
■ HH middlewest and
far west clash on
the cinder track at
Berkeley, Cal., this
.afternoon when
Coach Henry
Schulte’s Univer
sity of Nebraska
tracksters meet
"Walter C r 1 s 11 e’a
California athletes.
Judging from the
past performances
of these two
squads, the meet
this afternoon will
be a case of track
against field. Nebraska reigns su
preme on track events, while Call
fornia has the strongest field team
;; in the country. A sqjnewhat similar
condition existed last Saturday when
)} California beat the University of
"• Southern California, 80 to 61, in a
dual meet.
Coach Schulte has 20 athletes un
der his wing on the west const. Just
what these track and, field men ean
do against the athletes of the Sen
Maid state will be known after to
y day’s meet. The dope favors Cali
fornia, but the Cornhuskers have a
'? chance and a good one. too.
Has Good Record.
Looking at California's record we
are struck at once with the pre
ponderance of noteworthy field per
formances. Last year at Cambridge,
Mass., California, In the field meet
* of the Intercollegiate I. C. A. A. A.
A., scored 4014 points., A feat worthy
of comment, we say. The Bears beat
the class of eastern. Colleges, Prince
ton, Cornell, Pennsylvania. Harvard.
Penn State and other colleges and
university squads.
■ Of the 40 1-2 points the Bears col
lected at Cambridge they made three
tallies by taking a third in the 440,
and 2 more points in the two-mile
run. However, California placed In
every field event, shot, discus. Javelin,
hammer, broad Jymp, high Jump and
pole vault. The B^ars made two firsts,
three seconds ahd tied for another
second, a third, three fourths and a
: fifth, all of which stamped the Pa
cific Coast track and field squad as
about the best in the country.
California, In its meet wih Southern
California last Saturday, scored a vic
tory in the mile, which it will have
, a hard time (Wing against Alien and
Slemmons, the Nebraska “’Medics.”
: These two Husker cinder-kickers are
- about as good as they make ’em In
( the mllte and should bo well accustom
ed to the conditions In Berkeley by
this time. „
Coach 8chulte has Lloyd tend Noble
In the dashes; Trexler. Ted Smith.
Layton, Garner and Coasts In the
middle distances; Allen, Weir, Slem
mons and Cohen in the longer runs;
Lear and Lukens In the high hurdles,
and Crites and Kenner in the low
stick event. These Husker athletes
, are expected to win a majority of the
points.
In the field events, Nebraska Is
weak. Turner in the high Jump is
the best bet. In the past Nebraska
has been more fortunate. Fred Bale
set a Missouri Valley conference ree
; ord in the shot put two years ago.
He heaved the Bhot 44 feet. Bave
Beering has broad Jumped well over
22 feet. Dave is in school, but has
completed his three varsity years
competition In sport. “Spec” Car
man has hurled the Javelin 175 feet,
but is spending his time hurling the
■ horsehide sphere on the varsity base
. ball team. “Bub” Weller, all-Ameri
' can grid star, hurled the discus 133
! feet at the Drake relays, but he has
' been badly off form this season.
Breaks May Decide.
Witter, Muller, Sorrentl and Norris
are the star California field meet.
Muller la doped to cop the discus,
broad and high Jumps, while Norris
is a good bet in the pole vault,
i With nine track and six field events
i on the program for this afternoon,
! and with Nebraska having the edge on
the track and California in the field,
I the breaks of the meet will, no doubt,
: decide the victor. A spill In the hurd
1 les, a runner “boxed,” a pulled ten
don, or a slip at the start may change
| '.he final result.

off where he took a 75."—News
Item.)
l’v» dreamed of branels ahota that aalled
Thrse hundred yard* or more.
Or where my stout opponent* quailed
Before my brilliant sowre.
But, more than all, bereft of fuss.
One hope I've kept altve.
And that's to a slump as Kirkwood does.
And gel a 75.
I’ve bad ambitions for my swing.
As any golfer has;
For sweep and rhythm, mixed with sting.
For skill attached to Ja*z.
But where the bees of yearning buzz.
As stars or duffers strive,
I’d like to slump, as Kikwood does,
And get a 75.
A cheesy, greasy,
Take-lt-easy
i Slumping 75.

The First Twenty-ssven-Men-at-Bat
Game.
Some time ago the query came in
regarding the first pitcher to spin
out a no-hit, no-run, only-27-men-at
bat game in baseball history.
While we were still groping in the
ancient dust for-an answer the fol
lowing from Rev. Charles Francis
Carter, of Hartford, Conn., came as
a burst of sunshine through a deep
fog. It comes close to settling the
argument:
‘‘On May 2«, 1877, I pitched for
Yale against Harvard, the score being
5 to 0. There were no runs, no base
hits and only 27 Harvard men came
to the bat, all going out In one-two
three order. There were, as it hap
pens, a few* errors, but those who
reached first base on errors were
put out before the next batter was
out. This, I think, was the first
game of any considerable importance
wrhere only 27 men went to the bat. I
understand that there was a similar
game played by Dartmouth, but I
have never been able to get the exact
data concerning it. I believe this
Yale Harvard game as about 25
years before Cy Young accomplished
the same feat among the profes
sionals in Boston.
“I pitched for Yale for three years,
graduating in '78. I was one of the
early curve pitchers, developing all
the variations of the curve and using
the tnshoot, which I discovered, In
cidentally, in a Princeton game,
earlier than any one else had it, so
' far as I know. Avery, as you know,
was my predecessor on the Yale team,
getting the idea of the curved ball in
1875 from a McMann, of Princeton,
who, I believe, was the first pitcher
to use the curve in any Important
game. Avery developed it quickly and
used it effectively during his last year
in college. He did not, however,
teach it to me and I had to develop it
for myself, having previously played
second base as a freshman substitute
on the University.
"I venture to give you these items
simply as a matter-of-fact data, al
though, of course, the 5 to 0 game
will always be memorable in my
athletic history.
"It Is a little singular that ‘Dutch’
Carter and I. being men of extremely
different built, should have occupied
the same position on the Yale nine,
but, as they say, 'Horses of all shapes
trot,' and so it is true of pitchers.
'Dutch’ Carter's record is superb and
stands by itself."
Judging from this authentic data,
the curve-ball idea was beginning to
bloom around 1875. It would be in
teresting to know how those early
benders compared with the best break
of Ed Ilommell or the baffling curves
of Mathewson, Waddell and Walsh,
The battling eye today is trained to
follow the sudden dips and twists
that break in four or five directions.
But we can still recall the bewild
erment that overpowered our soul as
we faced the first curve ball we had
ever seen, on outcurve about 1%
Inches wide, that stood us on the left
ear.
Kirkwood, with a lame shoulder,
recently had a 67. Which reminds
us of a statement Connie Mack made
in the old days when he had a cham
pionship club—"The only pitchers we
can't beat are those who complain
of having sore arms.”
Not so many years ago stands large
enough to handle 25,000 fans were
ail that baseball needed. This sea
son will prove that on certain days
75,000 will have to be accommodated: j
And In less than five years the tennis |
association will find that for a na
tional championship or a Davis Cup
final stands capable of seating 20,- ;
000 will be entirely too small. The
germ of sport is spreading each year
in every direction now known to the
scientific mind.
"Could ‘Babe* Buth, catching one ;
right, drive a golf l/all as far as Abe
Mitchell can?" asks G. L. M. No.
Mitchell knows too much about the
method of golf timing and he can get |
the club head through at greater
speed. Mitchell has carried 218 yards.
That is wp|1 beyond the “Babe's” best.

Walsh Asks Why Pugs Are
Eager to Get on Milk Fund
Card It IPs for Charity
By I)AVI8 i. WALSH. I
International New* Srrvlee Sport* Editor, j
New York, April 6.—Charity being
ordinarily understood as a cause in
which one gives something for noth
ing, it is quite singular that so many
members of the box fighting profes
slon have expressed a desire to ap
pear on Tex Rickard's program of
.NJay 12 for the benefit of the local
milk fund. Seemingly, the fistic:
situation hereabouts is at a standstill
because managers and boxers have
lost all Interest in everything beyond
taking a hand In this worthy enter
prise.
Seems Queer.
One of these purely disinterested
Individuals Is Jark Renault, managed
by Leo Poorfellow Flynn. Renault
has been offered a certain percentage
to box Tom Gibbons here May 3 at
the earnest behest of William Mui
Ryan to Box
Sdilaifer in
Omaha Ring
Billy Ryan, whom Cincinnati fisti
cuff fans are touting as the next
welter champ, will fight Morrle
Schlalfer here Friday, April 1*. match
makers for the Spanish War Vet
erans announced this morning.
Ryan is a genuine sock 'em to sleep
artist and Is greatly respected inside
the hempen strands in eastern fight
circles.
He rates as one of the toughest
welters In th« game and is a com
bination boxer and fighter.
Rarl Puryear. the southpaw, will
meet Hilly Levina of New fork over
the 10 round route In the semi-wind
up.
Promoters are angling for another
10-round attraction.
It was originally planned to bring
Paul Doyls here as an opponent for
Schlalfer. Doyle tentatively accepted
the match, but then backed out.
He is the welter who started
Frankie Murphy on the downward
pth by slumbaring him i nthe fifth
round of a semi-windup bout at Madi
son Square Garden recently.
Tickets went on salo at the usual
depots this morning.

doon. He would have none of It.
However, as a compromise, Renault,
through Flynn, has let it be known
that be will consent to accept the
same percentage at the milk fund
bouts.
A parallel case Is that of Frederick
Flat-on-bls-Back Fulton, managed by
Jimmy Johnston, who can pick them
off with a pop gun at 500 yards.
Rickard is somewhat aghast to
learn that Floyd Johnson, co-star of
his big charity show, is to take on
Frederick, April 16. The promoter
has no reason to fear that Fulton
will ruin a perfectly good headliner
but he recognizes that Johnston is
taking a needless chance in more
ways than one. An injured hand
would leave Rickard without an op
ponent for Willard in the star bout.
Promised Bout.
He, therefore, has besought Fulton
and Johnston to agree to a later date.
He found them acquiscent. They
would not consider for a minute inter
fering with Rickard's plans for the
charity show. In fact, they would
agree to anything Rickard suggested,
provided he gave Fulton a "spot” on
the milk fund program.
