kind to the Buffaloes
yesterday. He per
mitted Piteher Ixive
to remain in the game
long enough for the
, Herd to pound him
for six runs and a hall game. The
llnal score was # to 4, but the scores
made off Ixvve were enough to rop
the game.
In the second, Mstliee inserted led
befter in the St. Joseph lineup in
place of lane, hut the Buffaloes
pounded him just the same, although
not as hard in spots. |.ove didn't have
anything hut his glove and it was
slippin’ off his hand. He was lilt for
six safeties in the one and one third
innings he toiled. Of the six hits,
one was s triple and three were
doubles.
The Buffaioes went Into fourth
place In the standings by walloping
ibe Saints and In turning In a victory
played a much better brand of base
ball than the day previous. The
Herd was on its collective toes from
lie start and with Harry r.ee on the
tnotind gave their httrler good sup
port.
Rea held the Saints rttnles* until
(lie fifth inning. Throughout the aft
ernoon he managed to put plenty of
“luff on the ball. This was evident
when he struck out three Missouri
ans. one of them three times. The
“even hits the Saintllngs gathered off
Harry's offerings include s home run
hat was inside the park, a. triple
and three doubles. Only two of St.
Joseph's seven hits were singles.
"Chief" Rohlnson topped the Buf
faloes in hitting, also the Saints. The
Omaha outfielder went to bat four
times and clouted out a triple, double
and single, which is a pretty good
day’s labor for any ball player.
Omaha, scored five runs in the first
when O'Neill was safe on Corrigan s
■ivor. Robinson's triple to deep cen
ter scored O'Neill snd after Bonowitz
walked. Griggs sacrificed Rohlnson
across the home plate. Wilcox clout
ed out a double to left and Bonowitz
scored the third Buffalo run. I,ena
han worked Rove for a base on balls
and then "Red" Wilder cleaned the
sacks with a double to center. The
Herd’s catcher was nabbed at third
I trying to slretch his hit into a triple,
y Harry l.ee started the second in
i ing b.v shimming the ball out to
enter for a two bagger. Thompson

''Neill followed with a one-ply clout
*• left, Scoring l.pe. Robinson singled
nd Jane made bis exit. J.edhetler

Keel Sox Show \\ ell.
New York, May 4.—Growing fat
among their little brothers of th* east
while t lie stronger western clubs
fought among themselves, the two
New York trains ended the week lead
ing their respective leagues.
The Giants fed heartily on Philadel
phia, which is deep in the cellar of
the National league. Washington
checked the eight-game winning
fttreak of t4*e world champions with
two defeats, but the Yankees walked
into first place in the American as
Chicago and Detroit were pulled back
by Cleveland and St. Ixmis.
Spurts by Boston and St. Txmis in
the American league and Pittsburgh
in the National improved the posi
tion of these teams, but the Pirates
received a stunning setback Sunday
when the Beds took two games.
Boston piled up 4S runs in the week
to win four and tie one of six games
played. The renaissance of the
Browns, who won four of five games
played, was simultaneous and prin
cipally due to the return of Ken
Williams.
McGraw's team stored 30 runs and
won four of five games on 5p hits
while holding their opponents to 15
runs and three victories in seven
played. Although scoring only five
more runs than their adversaries, the
Pirates won five of seven games by
fight defensive work. They made only
three errors in the seven games.

COLORED CHALLENGER TO MEET
“TRIAL HORSE” IN FIRST PRELIM
SCRAP LEADING UP TO TITLE GO
\ ietory for Harry Will Mean Little If Anything, While De
feat or Ev?n Questionable Verdi et Would Practically
Spoil 11 is Chances for a Shot at Champion Jack Demp
sey's Crown.
1 By DAVIS J. WALSII.
EW YORK, May
6.—Tnlrigned by
vague whsperlngs
to the effect that
Harry Wills is
about to have the
kinks knocked
out of his bru
net poll, a bevy
of news scaveng
ers will this after
noon descend
upon P o m p t o n
Rakes, N. J., for
the purpose of
solving the great
* mystery as to
what Is Bartley
Madden and why. Wills and Madden
are down on the books to meet In
combat at the Queer.shoru stadium
one week from tonight and idle
tongues are wagging.
They say that .Madden, always a
difficult citizen, will not only re
main as is for the duration of the
bout, but is set to make Wills look
none too natly by comparison, thus
upsetting our Mr. Rickard's fav
orite apple cart. They say that by
the time Madden finishes the eve
ning in a strictly vertical position
Mr. Rickard's Ideas about a Drnip
«ey-Will* enterprise for September
fi will have undergone considerable
alteration.
The glad news, right from the
water bucket. Is to the effect that
Madden, believing he ha* the chance
of his young life to cut In on the
i big money has trained for Wills with
greater leal-than for any engagement
within recent years. Madden in con
dition Is <iuite a pausibie performer.
lle« has ne\er been knocked off his
feet in meeting some of the best
heavyweights in the game during the
last 12 years and while he can not
punch hard enough to fight his way
out of a paper bag. can and does
muss tils man up with considerable
success. lie is one of those rare
bipeds who have nothing beyond a
stout heart, a strong Jaw and the
ability to make a good man look bad.
Viewed on these premises it Is
the opinion on lirnadway (hat Wills
and liis man of business, Paddy
MFullins. niHde an unfortunate,
match in tying up with Meriden.
Victory will mean lilflc, if anylliing.
Defeat or even a questionable ver
dict wnu(1 he tragedy.
In order to put the Dempsey busi
ness on a sound fooling, Wills must
kno< k Madden for a packet of In
visible hairpins. The burden of proof
rests strictly with Wills, since Mad
den will be deemed to have scored a
moral victory if he stays the limit of
12 rounds.
And It Is quite possible tliat he will,
lie proved too tough a proposition
for such as Tom Gibbons, Fred Fulton
and other heavyweights when he did
his training on Sixth avenue. It,
therefore would seem to stand to
n>a«on that he will be no pushover
even for Wills after training steadily
for two months in the great open
spaces of the Jersey hinterland.
Troeh and Frank Hughes May Not
Be Allowed to Shoot at Olympics
Spokane, Wash., May 5.—Kfforts
are being made to eliminate Frank
Troeh of l’ortland and Frank Hughes
of Mobridge, 8. D-. »s members of
the trap-shoooting team representing
America at the Olympic game*, ac
cording to a story published by the
Spokesman Kevlew (Spokane).
Troeh, according to the account, is
protested because his picture appears
on ammunition literature. Protests
against both men are said to he reg
istered because of their participation*
of shoots where money purses were
a part of the winner's share.
While the rnen are defended by W
H. Fawcett, manager of the Olympic
team, the Kevlew says that Frank 0.
Stoop, as representative of the Amu
teur Trapshooting association in the
Pacific zone, has advised CJui Becker
of Ogden, T'tah, of the situation and
suggested that he prepare himself
to make the trip if th© charges ai»*
allowed to stand.
Kawcell in a letter to President Mc
Carthy of the Amateur Trapshooting
association, points out that no charges
of professionalism have been proved
againM either of the men and Hint
they are “well within their rights in
shooting for money purses."
The charges are said to have been
reported to President McCaithy by
Gimtavu* T. Kirby <f the Amctkun
Olympic committee.

The new tighter
In w horn lUck
ard himself has
Invested rather
heavily, having j
entertained a he
lief that he will
fight his way to
a championship bout with .lark Hemp
try this year, is Honor (Juintln Ro
mero Rajas, known In ring parlance
ns the "Hon of the Andes." His Ini
till si ’t on a campaign, the goal of
which is a title halite with the Manas
sn mauler, will he scheduled a Jj
ronnd bout with l-'lnyd Johnson of
lew a In New York this week, which
will he the outstanding feature of a
short hut attractive calendar of pugi
listic encounters.
It |s obvious to the initialed that
liiekard did not i are to start the
( 11IIin11 champion against one of the
top Hoteliers. Not one emnpeleilt hos
ing critic who hs* seen the ( Milan
co through his training stunt* in Nrw
t orb h i* tlmught well enough of him
to praise him for anything he ha*
hern aide to do. They nil serin to
entertain a fear that he will assume
i limivontil position the flr»| time lie
is sent against a good fighter of lit*
own sire who parks a punch that t*
worth having, lie ha* been called a
setup, a false alarm ami a cam a*
IlM'U
t
Johnson has plenty of courage. Is
big and can take punishment. This
is the boi t of n man to he a trial
horse f*»r fighters of Rajas’ i lass. The
< hill.in is about as large as Dempsey,
although a trifle heavier. Me has all
the physical «|i;a 11 ActtIons, but baa
not impressed critics with his skill,
lie may be a terrific puncher. That
remains to M seen.
Romeiu-Roj'e thief claim to fame
is the fact that he is credited with a
knockout win o\er l.uia Firpo and
later chased the "wild bull*' around
South America trying to get another
bout with him. The fact that Firpo
turned a deaf ear to offers of pro
moters to stage such a contest Indi
cate* there must be some truth in
the report that Firpo la afraid of him.
Any fighter g*n»d enough to cause
Firpo to dodge h5m, after the fighting
l.uia did In this country a year ago.
should at least be worthy of some
consideration.
There me those who believe .John
son will knoc k out the Chilian, but j
they may be mistaken. The bout,
however, is very important, because j
It will gi\a n splendid line on the
real ability r# the newcomer, srho will,
be asked to f'.gi.l Jack Renault ne\t '
if be beats Johnson.
