Buffaloes Drive Two Booster Hurlers From Mound, Winning Game 12 to 4 ----- - - --- - - - -.. - —— — — - i ■*" Herd Moves Into Third Place by m Virtue of Victory » Every Member on C/malia Team, With Exception of i Pitcher Dailey, Scores Fifth Inning. By RALPH WAGNER. RT GRIGGS' Buffa loes took picks on I wo of Johnny Cor rldsn's best pitchers in the fifth inning yesterday afternoon and defeated the lies Moines Boosters In the first game of the four-contest series. The score was 1! to 4. The Buffaloes socked Ihe hall hard in the fifth, breaking an existing 3 to 2 tie and scoring eight runs. The Herd batted around and all except Pitcher Joe Ilailey managed to break into the acoring roluiiin during the inning. By'virtue of their victory and Tul sa's defeat of Wichita, the Buffaloes went into third place in the standings and stand a mighty good chance of going further up the percentage lad der at the expense of the Iowans. After the two clubs took the field and playe dan Inning or so. someone punetured the heavens and for a time it looked like the "urap" would call it "quits" for the afterhoon. The rain stopped in about 20 minutes and the Boosters and Buffaloes resumed their frolic. The dampness, however, seemed to affect the pitching arm of Johnson, Des Moines’ first hurler, ss he started to wobble in the fourth and wobbled himself to the showers in the fifth. Johnson turned the Buffaloes back In good order in the first three in nings, but in the fourth he walked Thompson. O'Neill grounded out and Thompson took second. Robinson boosted his batting average with « single, sending Thompson to third, and Joe Ronowltz one-bagged to left field, scoring Thompson. The Boosters had previously scored two runs, one in the second when "Ping" Bodie, the original "fence buster" of baseball, singled. Bungling walked and then t'havey drove Bodie across tile home plate when he sin gled. Des Moines got its second run In the fourth when Butko reached second when Cullop dropped his high fly out against the left field fence. Bodie again hit safety, this time for two bases, scoring Burke. The Buffaloes were trailing the visitors, 2 to 1. when they took their bats in the fifth. Jimmy Wilcox started tiie rally with a single. Wilder followed with a one-hagger anti AN'II* i ox took second and third when Bai ley sacrificed. Thompsons single scored Wilcox with the tielng run and put Wilder on third. t'orriden yanked Johnson and sent Tones to the mound. The latter proved easier for the Buffaloes than John son and went through the remaining innings of the game with nothing hut his glove. i • l'Nelll celebrated Jones’ entrance to the game by slamming-the ball out to "ping" Bodie for a double, scoring Wilder. Robinson was walked, filling the sacks, and when Bonowitz sin glet to deep center, Thompson and O'Neill scored. Cullop followed In Joe's footsteps when he singled to tenter, scoring Robinson and Bono witz. Griggs walked and Wilcox, batting for the second time in the in ning, cacked out a rxta base hit to left field, scoring Cullop and Griggs with the seventh and eighth scores of the inping. Jones managed to strike nut Wild er and retired the side when Dailey knocked a hot me down to Thompson who made a good stop and throw- to McLarry at first. ’the Buffaloes scored one in the seventh when Thompson walked, '•Neill sacrificed him to second mil Robinson sent him to third when he singled Bonowitz came through V th a high fly to center field and Thompson cashed in on the sacrifice. In the eighth Omaha scored its 11th and 32th runs. O’Neill singled. Jones made a had throw to first and .Jimmy took second- Be stole thjrd and v hen Cullop doubted, scored. Griggs’ s.ngle scored Cullop. but the Buffae loes’ skipper was ealight at second trying to stretch his hit into a double. lies Moines started a rally in the ninth anil for a time the fans saw I visions of another- one of those fatal ninth inning scoring sprees which have been staged by visiting teams here too often. After Dailey struck out Thompson, Ixtvelac walked. McGarrv singled soil Burks gut a one bagger. Bodie followed with his third hit of the sfternoon, a single, and I^ivelac scored. Bungling forced Bodie at second, but MeTairry managed to tally the fourth Des Moines score, •havez forced Bungling at second and the game ended. Dailey hurled pretty good ball for the Buffaloes, but his teammates helped him a lot when they scored eight runs in one Inning. The same teams played again this sfternoon. Bears Win Slugfrst.

Olympic Stadium, Colombes, France, May 11.—The American Rugby foot ball team today won the right to meet France In the final match of the Olympic competition by defeating the Rumanian team, 37 to o. The score might as well have been 100 to 0 had the Americans wanted to pile up a large number of points. They were content, however, simply to win and plainly held hack against the little fellows from King Ferdi nand's domain. In the second period the Americans carried out snappy combination work and tricky passes, Instead of crushing through the lighter Rumanian line as they did in the first period in order to clinch the giime at the start. The Americans, with eight substi tutes in their lineup, were superior in every department to the Ru manians. Although heavier men, they were faster than the Balkanites; they were better In tackling, passing and running through the field. Their goal line never once was threatened, the Rumanians never were even with in kicking distance of the American goal posts. They had the hall in American territory only about )0 miu utes out of the 80 minutes played. “We are satisfied,” said Ham Good man. manager of the team, after the match. “We did not want to swamp these fellows. This game will do us a lot of good." Charlie Austin of San Francisco, the American coach, also was pleased. He said he had noticed some weak nesses in the American team during the play, but that he would work hard to overcome these during the week end have his men in perfect con dition for the game with Franc# next Sunday. Coach Explains Tech's Showing “Not an alibi, just an explanation,” say* Aaron Richard*, student man ager of the Technical High track team, for the poor showing made by the Teehsters at the state track meet at I.ineoln Saturday.

Both men were In school yester day, but Redenbaugh w*n limping painfully, while Martison looked rath er peaked. Coach White hopes to have his two stars around in good shape for the Medic rela>» Saturday.

A win for the Hawkeyes would put them In first place. The two aggregations met earlier in the ’season on the Bluffs diamond. A real pitching battle resulted be tween West and McCain. West allowed two hits, while Mc Cain was even stingier and held the Techsters to a lone blngle. McCain won the game for the Iowan* with a four-base clout.

Singleton, a finished rider, was elected to ride him over the old St. Louis course. The story of that ride has been told and told again and needs no retelling here. Hater John M. Singleton leaped into the limelight again with the same horse in the American derby over the old Washington park course at Chi cago. Victory passed the Jockey by that day, but he brought his mount in on top of the also ran*. Nor 1* the name of .Singleton un known on the metropolitan tracks. Kor year* the jockey rode over courses that figure in the day's news. And then, as now. Ills ability was highly thought of. In the course of Ills career as a rider, Singleton lias ridden in some 5,000 rare* and a good portion win ners. lie lias raced in the best cir cle* and 111 the “sticks," but always lie ha* been out In front when win ning meant being there all the way. Kvery season Singleton has been at ilia Ak-Sar-Ben track. He and his Bun George are equally well known. At an age when most Jockeys have retired, John Singleton still trains down to 105 pounds and rides In the best races at the track that Is graced by his presence. (----N, Frank Hughes Says He’s Barred From Olympic Trapshooting Team Because He Chews Nasty Tobacco j'-- j Chicago, May II.—Frank Hughes, whu had the second highest atna- . teur trap shooting average In tlie country, has telegraphed Gustavus Kirby, chairman of the American i Olympic committee, protesting be ing dropped from the American trap • shooting tram, "I demand a hearing before further action is taken,” Hughes j stated in his telegram. "If I am not an amateur, I want every trap shooter in America to know it." I Hughes was selected for the team by popular vote of shoot era in the prairie rone, composed of the states of North and South Dakota, Ne braska, Oklahoma and Texas. According to Hughe* the only charge made against him was that he chews tohacro and "certain east ern shots claim it would be quite humiliating to shoot before earls and lords and have them see Hughes chewing and spitting." Joe Lynch Decides Bantam Class Too Tough—Now Featherweight Joe Lynch, ex bantamweight cham pion of the world, has concluded the hantamwelght class as too tough for him. Making the weight and then stepping 1J rounds with the rough boys in that division Isn't his Idea of a good time, particularly with the enfebbled Johnny Dundee holding the featherweight title. His only hope, which. Incidentally Is that of several other leading featherweights. Is that Dundee doesn't topple from his throne before he can get to him. Lynch is only it! years old and should have four or five good year a ahead of him.

SOME one remarked the other day that Nick Cullop should be playing the outfield Instead of holding down his position on the pitching staff and bench. This wise remark brought a yelp out of Ramey Hurrli, owner of the Buffaloes and Cullop's paymaster. If the reader will permit his mind to wander bark a few months lie will recall reading presa notices that Cullop had been sold to the New York t ankers as a pitcher, hut would not report to the rliamps un til the season of 1925. Burch was willing to sell Cullop and the Y’anks were willing to fork over the necessary rash for this promising plgyer, but Barney wanted more than (ash. He wanted it un derstood that If the Yankees didn't keep Cullop on their roster this sea son they would send him hack to Omaha. Finally the New York Americans told Burch to keep Cullop until the season of 1925, hut to use Nick as a hurler. Part Of the purchase price was paid when the deal was made snd the other is hanging fire. It all depend* on Mr. Cullop and his pitch ing ability whether he Joins the champs in 3925 and Burch gets the remainder of the purchase price, which amounted to a nice sum. Of course, Barney wants to get the remainder of Cullop's selling price and Nick, tike all good hall players, wants to advance up the ladder of his profession. Therefore, Bureli see* no reason why he should disregard New York's order and play Cullop in the outfield, and Nick is improving right along as a pitcher. The other day Cullop beat the Saint*. He let them down with four : hits. True, he was in hot water during the first three innings, hut after that he came through in fine style. Then, again, Cullop when warming tha bench is used as a pinch hitter, He generally delivers. In the home series’ thus far Cullop has been used as a pinch hitter three time's, knock ing a home run the first, grounding •nit the second and doubling the third time. Cullop Is perfectly satisfied with taking his turn on the mound. Man ager Griggs is satisfied. So Is Burch. Osborne. Bonowltz and Rob inson are good outfielders. Nick will Ice used as a pitcher, which means that sometimes "ihuckers ' are used In the outfield, but not regularly. Munn May Wrestle lewis.
