EXPENSIVE MINORS LATE IN ARRIVING By DAVIS J. WALSH (L. N. S. Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, May 2—It may be bit early for morning glories, the present season being a particularly backward one, but there are indications that the human crop in the major leagues, at least, is not only expensive but large. Perhaps, after all, this will be the last year of extravagant minor league purchases, as John McGraw and other small baseball men are prone to believe. McGraw most certainly will not be a party to another orgy of spending, unless Jimmy O'Connell and Jack Bentley soon begin to resemble Major League ball players, something they have contrived to avoid since the opening the season. Bentley, who is said to have cost $85,000 has failed to last five innings in two starts and either Stengel or Cunningham is destined to replace the $75,000 O'Connell, unless he starts to hit, pronto. Willie Kamm, the most costly of the plot, has done well enough for the White Sox and probably will do better. His hitting has not been impressive but Kamm is expected to live that down. He looks the part of a hitter. So does O'Connel and as a matter of fact, Bently looks like a pitcher. He got a very late start in the south and may come along. SWEETZER: OFF FORM TEARS SCORE CARD By ROBERT E. HARLOW (L. N. S. Staff Correspondent) SANDWICH, England, May 3.—In a fit of temperament, bront on by his indifferent playing, Jesse W. Sweetzer, amateur golf champion of America, today tore up his card for the final 18 holes of the St. George's challenge cup tourney and declined to disguise the score to anyone. NAT SOUTHPAW ROOKIE Baseball Standings A. H. S. IN WOMAN'S SWEETZER OFF FORM TEARS SCORE CARD BY ROBERT E. HARLOW (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) SANDWICH, ENGLAND, MAY 3. In a fit of temperament, brot on by his indifferent playing, Jesse W. Sweetzer, amateur golf champion of America, today tore up his card for the final 18 holes of the St. George's challenge cup tourney and declined to divulge his score to anyone. It was an outburst comparable only with those occasionally indulged in by Bobby Jones, another famous American golfer. The low score of early starters was furnished by Francis Outmet, the Amerocean, who had 76-77 for a total of 152. Outmet's golf was sound from te to pin. Dr. O. P. Willing, of Portland, Ore., who topped the field on the first day with a 74, turned in a 79 today for a total of 153, tying Outmet for the lead. GIRLS' ATHLETIC MEET IN PASADENA Coach Irene Jacques mentor at Anaheim high school, is up in the air concerning a letter received from the Pasadena high school coach. Pasadena high school has sent out invitations for the various schools of the southland to send a baseball team and tennis team to compete with other schools. Coach Irene Jacques has a line-up that she would send against any school, but that isn't the trouble. It happens that May 19th has been the day set for the Telegraphic track and field meet and a number of the track stars are also base ball stars. She is undecided whether to hold a meet or send the fast aggregation to Pasadena. EXPECT EASY WIN Anaheim boys baseball team tackle Santa Ana diamond men tomorrow at the latter' field. Santa Ana is an easy mark. Coach Ray Elliot's lads are in good trim. Huntington Beach recently defeated Santa Ana and Anaheim easily won over the Beach town.

The Braves ran their string out to six straight victories by outsourcing the Phillies in a hitting melee, 11 to 7. SPORTING EVENTS American's love and capacity for sports seems to be unlimited. The New York Yankees followed their tremendous opening day crowd with turnouts of over 40,000 and 65,000 on the first Saturday and Sunday of the season. Nearly every other major league town reports capacity crowds. Even the minors have started out with fine attendance. financially baseball seems headed for its biggest year. Prosperous years in the majors reflect success to many of the minors, for the big leaguers with lots of money in the treasuries will pay large prices for the young players they want. And where all are making money, the bidding will be more spirited. We read where more than 14,000 witnessed the opening of the outdoor cycle season in New York. Fights are drawing well. In New Orleans more than 5000 fans saw two third raters battle and the Crescent City sees many good fighters in the course of a year. The racetracks are starting with great turnouts. It is another banner year for all sports. Branch Rickey certainly is the friend of ball players. The Card manager keeps twenty-five regulars on his club. Cornell has insured the continuance of its football successes by signing Gilmour Dobie as coach for the next ten years. The extended contracts will give Cornell the benefits of Dobie's efforts the year around. Dobie's three years at Ithaca have rewarded the Cornell eleven with splendid success. For the last two seasons, his elevens have been undefeated. Much complaint has been registered that Cornell's schedule has not been a truly representative one, but that is being overcome. Dobie gets results, wherever he works. Washington, Navy and Cornell have all been winners under his reign. Without ostentation or any ballyhooling, Dobie works quietly and along common sense lines and gets results. A team well grounded in fundamentals, equipped with only a few trick plays but knowing how and when to use them, is Dobie's receipt for success. And no one can say he is wrong.

MEET BEACH TEAM Anaholm girls base ball team played one of their hardest games of the season this afternoon when they went to Huntington Beach and met the Oil Drillers team. As yet, Huntington Beach has only lost one game, which put them on the same footing as Coach Jacques' squad. After the game, the girls went down to the sea shore and took several dips in the plunge. A weenie roast was also enjoyed. versity of Michigan for the coming gridiron season. One star pitcher in the National league speaking with another player, admitted that "the club he was playing with" was a good team. The only trouble is we ought to be in the Western league. Lefty O'Doul of the Red Sox has developed a slow ball that is the envy of the southpaw pitchers of the American league and those who have seen Pitcher Fullerton of the Red Sox in action this season declare he is going to be a good flicker as soon as he gets confidence in himself. Minneapolis friends of outfielder Kung and Boehler, ran up a score of 12 to 1 on the Pirates. The Giants made it seven in a row from the Dodgers by tying the score in the ninth and winning in the eleventh 7 to 6, in spite of the fact that Vance fanned fifteen, a season's record. The Braves ran their string out to six straight victories by outsourcing the Phillies in a hitting melee, 11 to 7. Vangilder allowed only three hits and Prusett one, but the White Sox took advantage of the former's wildness to win over the Browns, 4 to 2. It was the Sox' second straight victory. A wild throw by Bohne in the ninth prevented the Reds from winning on one hit, the Cubs managing to put over the runs necessary to a 2 to 1 win following the misplay. Osborne held the Reds to a single safety, but walked seven men. TUSTIN WINS TOURNEY Tustin high school team won in the league tennis tourney last evening, 7 to 6, from the local first team. The boys went to Tustin to play and held them 3 to 3. At Anaheim where the girls played Margaret Loarnger, Florence Austin and Kathryn Adams won their sets. Marian Watts put up a strong fight but was unable to win. Kathryn Adams and Florence Austin lost their double set, as also did Marlon Watts and Margaret Loranger.
