HAL CHASE 1S NOW HAPPY WITH REDS, | When the Sad News Reached Him: He Wrote a Letter Full of Sobs--' What Herrmann Told the Luckless Player. | Hal Chase undoubtedly is glad that Garry Herrmann was a bit harsh-- | and firm---with him when Hal decid- ed he'd much rather play in the Pa- cific Coast league than with the Red- | legs. Of course, no one can play with the Reds and be perfectly happy | at the same time, but Hal is much more joyous than he hoped to be. It was this way: Harry Sinclair adsumed the con- tract of Chase, and, after consider- able dickering, sold the "peerless first sacker" to Garry Herrmann. When the sad, sad news was carried to! Chase he at once got in touch with Sinclair: . "Please, kind sir, do not add to the sorrows of my life by making me play in Cincinnati," pleaded 'Hal. "Let me go to the California league. you do I will aceept a cut of $2.0 per year in my two-year ironclad a tract.' "You don't belong to me any long- er," answered Sinclair. "Speak to Herrmann." 1 Hal got in touch with Herrmann, recited his piece, while Garry said: "You'll play in Cincinnati or no- where." Rather than be forced out of base- ball. Chase decided to go to the Reds. His real objection to getting back into the majors was because he feared ridicule if he failed to deliver the goods. During recent years Chase achieved the unenviable honor of being the most panned man in| baseball. Chase had stod as much | of it as he could. He wanted to go| some place--like California--where the knockers were fewer. But, as you know, Chase joined the Reds, and he has become one of the idols of the town. His playing at home and abroad has been spec- tacular. He has hit, too--and with considerable frequency. His field- ing, both around first base and in the garden--has been brilliant. Hal Chase expected he'd become a "goat" by going back into the ma- jors Instead, he Was become some thing or a hero again. THE BEST HORSE ON THE CONTINENT.

If looks count! for anything, he is now in his prime, and as sound apparently as the day he was foaled, but his task of neces- sity must ever be hard, as he is prac-1 tically confined to handicaps, and, of course, under top weight. | SEEING IS BELIEVING. Toronto Awaits the Performance of Cornell Pitcher, According to all accounts, Russell, the college pitcher,. who is slated to join the Leafs shortly, is a wonder of wonders. The Cornell! gradfate was in great demand, many major league clubs bidding for his, services, but he signed with the To- ronto club because of his friendship with Manager Birmingham, who also claims Cornell as his alma mater.

A FAMOUS RIDER. Tod Sloane Makes Living Selling Race | ing Information. Mingling with the racegoers at Jamaica these days is "Tod" Sloan, | once the king of jockeys, who earned | a fortune in the saddle and for many years hobnobbed with the nobility of the British turf. Sloan is too old and too heavy to ride any more, but he still possesses a good knowledge of horses, While many patrons of the sport do not recognize Sloan as 'a tipster, he sells his information to anybody who will pay the price, and in that way he manages to keep the wolf from the door. Needless to say that "Tod" wishes he had banked the money he received both here and abroad in return for his memorable turf op : Show Endurance. The i Sow feature of the Pa- cific 'States tennis championship tournament at Delmonte, Cal, was furnished in the woman's singles by' Miss Laura Herron, of Palo Alto, and Miss Marjorie Wale, of San Francis- co. After a court battle, lasting! three hours, Miss Herron captured the honors 10-8; 11-9.

It, is expected there will be a num- ber of new combinations this year at|. | the eastern Jawn bowling meet at Ot- !tawa. Some bowlers feel that the practice of rinks keeping together] intact tournament after tournament and year after year is not conducive to. the good fellowship of clubs, though it may help towards the win- ning of prizes. Quite a few bowlers are beginning to want to revert to the old Ontario The new Dominion rules by the next green, spoils play, they claim. A number of bowlers would like to see a return to the old "short end." The present length does not give enough variety of play, it is held. FRANKIE FLEMING SHADED E.

The new high speed golf balls are making long drivers of every duffer, Tee shots of 200 yards don't excite any one now, because the modern rubber core balls are at least 50 yards faster than the old gutty balls. The new balls are so lively that they've evorlutionized the game. Courses must now be longer. And your average player, after he's wal- loped off a long drive with one of the new fast balls, proudly imagines he's a second Harry Vardon. Gil Nichols, metropolitan open champion, says the lively balls are the gréatest thing that ever happened to the old spot, | because a long straight drive to the golfer is as satisfying as a home run "These modern fast balls are the chief reason why so many stick to the game," said Veteran Gil, who has Metropolitan, the Brooklyn or the | watched all the golf improvement the last 30 years. . ENGLISH HORSES Are to be Sold by the New York wn. Customs, For the first time in many years | the United States Government is in possession of five thoroughbred Horses, which it will sell to the high- est bidder. The animals were con- | signed by T. J. Bemson, of London, 0 S. L.. Frank, of New York, for sale. The most valuablé animal in | the consignment was Battler, a chest- nut stallion which as stated in the invoice was out of Rhoda B. This mare was a dam of Orby, owned by which won the Derby in 1907. Mr. Frank, it is un- | derstood, valued the horses at around $30,000. Although the customs men passed the -thoroughbreds, the trea- sury department raised the objection that the horses were not owned by the "importer," within the meaning {of the law. His Goat Can Be Got. Eddie Collins of the White Sox is an-experienced professional ball play- er, but his goat can be got. If you don't believe it, get a swift horse, | ride past the White Sox second sack- er, and shout "Billy Sunday' as you go. Because Collins was induced by a clergyman friend recently to ad- dress a boys' Sunday school class, the imaginative space writers have been doping him for the sawdust trail and other sensationalism. So now he says that he is "off" news- paper men for life! , Home on Furlough.

The Giants Are Still Convalescing-- Came Home to Slump Badly--Re- view of Situation. A New York paper says: If some National League team, preferably the Giants,. does not pork up soén and put a shoulder against the Dodgers, Brooklyn will be so far out in front the pennant race will be over by July 4. To date Brooklyn has lost fewer games than any team in either major league, and is fur- ther away from its nearest competi- tor and showing no signs of slowing up at all. : Scattered through the circuit there are thousands of "fans" who would not be put out to any great extent if Brooklyn should hold to fhe pace and outfoot the field. Fifteen years is a long time to wait for satisfac- tion, and by all intents and purposes Brooklyn is in ling for the champion- ship, because it has been fifteen years since a team worried the Dod- gers into the lead. Wilbert Robinson is getting high success out of his pitchers. Possess- ed of a large quantity bf clever mound artists, any one of whom would bolster up the pitching staff of the seven other clubs, Robinson has been using the men wisely and regularly. Although Pfeffer, Dell, Cheney, Smith, Coombs, Marquard and Appleton are not the only stars on the Brooklyn aggregation, the pitching of these men has done more probably to carry the pace-setters along than any one other help. The Giants are still ailing, or, it might be termed, convalescing, as the team has been most inconsistent so far as chalking up victories at home is concerned. After its great and glorious and much sung about seventeen straight victories on the road the club came home to slump with three games won and six lost to the very same teams that it found so easy on, its journey in the last of the enemy. Continually preaching of the uncertainty of baseball is the only thing that keeps the "fans" from wondering how such a thing could happen honestly. CORNELL PITCHER SIGNED FOR TORONTO. Clyde Russell, Sensational Col=- lege Pitcher, Reports Sun- day--Burch Released. Clyde Russell, the famous pitcher of the Cornell University team, will join the Toronto team at Baltimore on Sunday. His signed contract has not-been beaten this season and num- bers among his victims practically all of the big eastern university teams. One"American League team, two No- tional League teams, two Interna- tionals and one New York State League team have made repeated ef- forts to land the pitcher, but Man- ager Birmingham, himself a Cornell graduate, signed Russell over the heads of the others. Dr. Sharpe, director of athletics at Cornell, ad- vised the twirler to cast his lot with the Toronto pilot. McGRAW ONE OF THE BOYS. He Will Even Carry the Bat to a Player. They say he receives $30,000 per summer and holds quite a chunk of stock, still John J. McGraw is just one of 'the boys when the Giants are out there on the field every day. If you don't believe it, says the St. Louis Times, listen to this: When the Cardinals finished their fourth inning Friday Doyle was the first batter up in the fifth. "Come on, boys, hurry it along," called Ump. Byron, and Doyle, from second base, was> running to the plate. x "Hey, boy, oh, boy, bring out my bat!" said Doyle. One guess--who brought out the bat?--No one but McGraw. The Little Napoleon grab- bed 'the club, and skipped out to the plate: Yes, he's the bat boy these days. SUBTERRANEAN RINK Is to Be Established at Old Coney Is- land. An ice skating rink will be install- ed at Coney Island. A novelty con- nected with the rink is a plan to sup- ply coats, sweaters and caps to all skaters, so they wil} mot catch cold after leaving the outdoor heat for its frigid atmosphere, The rink will be entirely under- ground. The course will begin be- neath the ballroom floor and will twine through subterranean passages in the west end of the park. Icicles, snow and floating icebergs will be the decorations. Doing Their Bit, Professional hockey players are doing their "bit" handsomely in the big war. Punch Broadbent and Leth Graham of Ottawa, were among the first to enlist at the outbreak and have seen service for eighteen months. The McNamara brothers have enlisted, so has Jack Walker and Goldie Prodgers. Recent de- spatches state that Steve Vair, the former Renfrew player, has been wounded. Nick Bawlf is another N. H. A. player wearing the King's col-| ors. "Dad" Turnbull's Busy Day. Vancouver World: "Dad" Tarn- bull, veteran New Westminster sportsman, is going to be a busy man on Dominion Day.. He has entered the championship trap-shooting tour- nament, which will be held on the holiday at the Oak street traps and after fracturing many blue rocks he will hie himself to Brockton Point, where he will take his place on the New Westminster veterans' line-up forthe mateh with the old-time Van- couver men, Milo 3 for 25c.
