Tuesday, May 29, 1923 QUAKERS AROUSED BY MACK'S STRIDE By DAVIS J. WALSH (L. N. S. Sports Editor) NEW YORK, May 29.—Very much exercised over the fact that Connie Mack has made one ball club grow where eight failed to exist since 1914, Philadelphia has developed a severe case of fallen arches about its athletics. Every reserve seat at Shibe Park was sold out three days in advance of the recent Athletics-Yankee series, fans stood in line from early morning to buy their way into the unreserved sections and streets were blocked in front of electric scoreboards operated by newspapers. This is the same town that was supposed to be immune to baseball's lure. The sudden rise of the Athletics from a chronic loser to the most prominent contender has worked the miracle. As a topic of parlor conversation, baseball has taken precedence over the national debt and lavender sleeve garments. In brief, Philadelphia has realized what the rest of the country will recognize ultimately, to wit, that the Athletics are a contender that will costend right on down to the end of the campaign. Connie Mack's outfit is no morning glory. It is a fine baseball club just beginning to realize its possibilities. It has everything that a first division club should have—five winning pitchers; Perkins, one of the leading catchers; Galloway and Dykes, a strong second base combination; a good out field, featuring Wild Matthews, a youth known as Sparkle because of his enterprise, dash and winning spirit. It also has enough hitting to carry it along with the best. The writer does not claim that the Philadelphia Athletics are the coming champions of the American League. Neither does he deprecate their chances. Both contentions would be a bit premature at this time. Tagging all the Bases Matthews, a youth known as Sparkle because of his enterprise, dash and winning spirit. It also has enough hitting to carry it along with the heat. The writer does not claim that the Philadelphia Athletics are the coming champions of the American League. Neither does he deprecate their chances. Both contentions would be a bit premature at this time. Tagging all the Bases The Dodgers raided the left handed 265,000 delivery of Jack Bentley for ten hits in a matter of seven innings and beat the Giants, 8 to 7. Just to show that the age of miracles is not gone, the Phillies won a doubleheader from the Braves, six to four and 11 to 2. Scoring runs in fits and starts, the Red Sox climbed aboard Rommel in the eighth for four runs and the Authetics finished second by 8 to 6. Shanks home run in the eighth furnished the fireworks. Coming from the rear after the Reds had scored twice in the tenth, the Cardinals replied with three runs against Couch and Keck, and won, 5 to 4. An avalanche of pinch hitters and a timely single by Weis, a substitute, gave the Cubs a 5 to 4 decision over the Pirates in the eleventh inning. BENNY AFTER TITLE CHICAGO, May 29—Benny Leonard, lightweight champion, will go after another championship, here tonight when he meets Pinkie Mitchell of Milwaukee, in a scheduled ten round bout for the junior welterweight championship. The men scaled at 138 pounds. Leonard is a favorite in the betting. UNITED Theatre Anaheim Starting Sunday for 3 days METRO PICTURES CORPORATION Presents THE REX INGRAM PRODUCTION THE FOUR HORSEMEN SPEED FANS POUR INTO INDIANAPOLIS INDIANAPOLIS, May 29—With the annual Memorial Day 500-mile auto race but one day off, thousands of speed fans were today pouring into their city, justifying the prediction that, with fair weather tomorrow, a record crowd of 125,000 persons will be assembled to watch the speed kings compete. Advance seat sales have exceeded all previous records; it was announced today. Twenty-two cars have qualified in the trials and four more took the bricks today. It was probable that the entry list would number 26. Much interest is being shown in the three German Mercedes cars, which are the only cars entered having room for mechanicians, the rest being single seaters. Ralph De Palma and Joe Boyer, veteran drivers both, were among the last to qualify. They took their Packards around the oval at an average speed of 100.42 miles and 98.8 miles an hour respectively. Three Duesenbergers were scheduled to make their time trials today. They were rushed to completion and had no warming up. One French Bugattl also remains to qualify. The competition from foreign entrants this year is expected to be keener than ever before, but the honors of Uncle Sam were also to be well taken care of. Tommy Milton, driving an H. C. S. Special with a Miller motor, averaged 108.17 miles per hour, made the best time for the ten-mile speed trial. The German Mercedes driven by Werner made the fastest time of the foreign entrants. GIBBONS POPULAR SHELBY, Mont., May 29—Tommy Gibbons, challenger for the crown now worn by Jack Dempsey, will be the king pin of all heavies if the consensus of opinion of those already on the scene have anything to do with it. While Gibbons is on the short end of the betting, all bets are being eagerly grabbed up and should this continue for any length of time, odds will likely be even before the day of the bout.

CINCINNATI—Anthony Downey of SPORT SNAP SHOTS BY JACK NEENE "We have one great asset in our pitching staff," says Pat Moran, manager of the Cincinnati Reds, "and that's a different style of deliveries. I don't ever remember seeing so many different methods of pitching in my whole career. A club that can send in pitchers of varying styles has a big advantage over teams whose pitchers seem to be made in the same mold. "The champion Cubs had it over all competitors in this respect. Brown's delivery was utterly different from that of Reulbach, and Big Ed in turn threw shoots that had no likeness to those of Lundgren or Overall. Each of the four great right handers had his own method of delivery, his own set of curves, and not a particle of similarity between any two of them. Add to this layout the left handed Pfeister, and the combination was too much for the other fellows. "Our present staff shows wonderful variety. Rixe and Benton, both left handers, have wholly differing styles of work. Donahue and Keck who should both be great winners this season, employ opposite deliveries. Donahue sending them up high while Keck has an underhand shoot that's a wonder. Couch's style hasn't the least resemblance to that of either Keck or Donahue, and Luque again doesn't pitch like any of the three other right handers. "We can give the hostile batters a flock of different stuff this summer, and can mix things up against them all the time. And I think that is going to help the good cause considerably." Mike McTigue, world's light-heavyweight champion, has been signed up to engage in three boxing bouts before his scheduled performance in the championship battle with Georges Carpentier, French boxer and former holder of the title on July 14. The three bouts arranged will be held in Chicago. Philadelphia and Halifax, N.S. The bouts are no-decision affairs, so that McTigue will keep his title unless knocked out. In a ten-round bout at Comiskey park, in Chicago, on May 29th, McTigue is scheduled to meet Bob Fitzsimmons, son of the once famous "Lanky Bob." This will be McTigue's first appearance in the ring since he won over Battling Skii, Senegalese boxer in Dublin on March 17. On June 8, the champion is slated to clash with Tommy Loughan, Philadelphia light heavyweight, in the National league ball park in Philadelphia. The bout will be an eight-round affair, but the limit of rounds permitted in Philadelphia. The third contest announced by Manager Jacobs is slated to bring McTigue up against Roddy McDonald, Canadian light heavyweight, in a ten-round bout at Halifax on June 18. McTigue has been popular in Halifax since he knocked out Gene Brosseau, Canadian middleweight champion there. Some doubt as to the possibility of this bout coming off is felt from word received from local boxing authorities in Halifax stating that McDonald is on his way now to Austria and saying further that the one-time Canadian champion retired from the ring three years ago.
