BROOKLYN HEADED FOR FIRST DIVISION Chunge* Ofc?iitein plated in Team Vi tJk'li. If Fhey Gu Through/ W ill Tend Pr? vent (>iaitr> loo Great Lead. Il> JOHN It. KOSTKlt V (Cwpi> <snC IW4. By The Atvancc) ^ New 3?Brooklyn i* planning cilunm-s in addition to the accession of Stock that may make the flu.) strong-enough to put it up in the tirtft division. These changes will be made In the outlield. If they are not made im mediately they will be made as soon as arang?ments can be completed. The negotiations are under way and Robbie is angling tor the sort of players that w ill go far toward lift-, ing the team up. With pitching as I good ,as Brooklyn is, it will not take such a terrible lot to shove the team into the thick of the fight, whether it becomes a positive factor for the championship or not. Added strength for Brooklyn will increase interest in the Nationil League championship race. It will help to keep the Giants from getting bu far out in frout that interest will lag. and that is exactly what the league leaders are threatening to do. -.The Giants play for championships, not for sentiment, and they will pile up all the games they can. That is something which it has always been hard to impress upon some National League owners,, who have allowed themselves to believe there should be a certain amount of co operation in sport?a theory which if it were allowed to . gain headway would wreck any sport organization in the world. Brooklyn's defense has been bad from the start of the season. The addition of Stock helped a lot be cause he is a timely hitter, can play third base better than any other man on the club and gives an oppor tunity to put some one at short and second who will carry the team into the upper story class. The negotiations that Brooklyn is conducting should make the team strong enough to win at a .550 dipt all of the time, and probably better. If the deal goes through Boston and Philadelphia will be trailers unless they can improve their batting. Class AA clubs are running mostly as expected in their cham pionship fight. Indianapolis held the top in the American Association all through April. It's a team of a lot of power if it's left to its own way of winning and not shifted too much. Kansas City has fallen into line as runner up, largely because of good pitching. Louisville is doing a little better than expected which is a tribute to Joe McCarthy, the Louisville manager, whose know ifegt- of baseball is deeper than most people realize, and who may ' makie a major league manager some F uay. BaJtimore is driving ahead in the International, and has played more games than any of them. Reading. .Newark and Rochester are In the thick of the fight and if Buffalo and Toronto come into line the league may gel where it can threaten Bal timore seriously. Eventually the International will have to abandon the guarantee system of operation and come lo the division of gate re ceipts. The guarantee is obsolete and Impractical for successful base ball in cities of 100,000 or over. San Francisco Is being chased hard after breaking out in front of all Its circuit. It has a good team and if defeated for the champion ship Oiere will be some of the best baseball the coast has seen for a Jong t )ro-e Better Hide Mr, Dempsey V w ?

By l-'AW VJUAY .New York, May 3?Harry Wills it going lo be Id prime condition when lie meets Madden on iMay 12. Today, after an examination of his bands, hlf* physician pronounced tiiem fit to come in contact even against Mad den's granite bead. And the other day the writer caught tbe same Jm-1 pression from the way he let out at * his sparring partners. Wills has got to be right for this light. Madden has caused many a top notcher of his ability to take that which wouJd founder many a higher grade fighter. At tbe same! time be bores in with his wallops; and all in all makes <luJte a Jot of j wherever he happens to be. if he should stick around with Harry i throughout the full route on May 12. Wills would be through, at least in the minds of many ring fol lowers. Had to say, Madden would ; not get too much credit, while Will* would be losing a couple of tons ofj reputation. I Hugh Gartland, who went to I Buenos Aires, ostensibly to take Luis Flrpo under his wing and make millions for him, says he Is ready to do this If Flrpo will come to this country and fulfill a dozen or so engagements he has booked up for him. Contrary to general belief, Qart land did not take any financial risk In his recent trip to Buenos Aires.1 Flrpo and his advisers seem to have wanted him to accompany Al Reich, perhaps to see that Al didn't get cold feet and Jump overboard on the way to the Argentine. Also they wanted thp benefit of his advice In promoting the Spalla and Reich affairs. Anyway they paid Oartland's way, to Buenos Aires and return. The trip was about all Hughey got out of It. As for Reich, he received five thousand dollars snd expenses for going several thousand miles Just to ,uke It oa the chin. BASEBALL QUESTION BOX If you have some question to ask aboat baseball? Write to John B. Foster, the man who helped make the rules under which the game Is played today. If you want a personal reply enclose a stamped, self-addrossed en velope. Otherwise your ques tion will be answered in this column. Address: John B. Foster, special baseball correspondent of The Dally Advance, 811 World Building, New York. (CooyrifhL 1*24. By Th. Question?Why was the spit ball banned? Answer?Because it was disgust-, ingly unhealthy. | Question?Which is the more | effective, the curve ball pitcher or ithe speed king? Answer?Depends upon the bat-, , ters. i Question?Is the slender player las good as the heavily built player?; Answer?Better as a rule. j Question ? ltunner on first base. I He starts to steal on the pitch. The I batter raises his bat in front If him | when the catcher tries to make the j:t1irow. The ball hits the bat of the , batter. Does the player go back to | flfst or does he stay where he la? | Answer ? It-depends upon wheth | er the umpire rules there has been Interference or no interference. If the umpire rules the -batter out the runner returns to first. If the nm jjUre rules there Is no Interference, the catcher makes a wild throw. Question?Home run Is batted. Player does not touch third base. Has reached home and before any i effort Is made to put him out he [ realizes that he cut the base and , then after touching It does not toucfc i home again but walks to the bench. An opposing player recovers the ball and goes over to the player and ta*s him. The umpire says he is out. Was he ?al"? Answer?He was. He was at lib-' erty to go back to third but he had to go home as If he never had never touched home plate after go ing back to retouch fhlrd. Question?Why did not the St. IxhiIh Cards use I,es Mann regularly io their line up for 1922 and 1923? His record for 1922 given In the Reach official baseball guide last year shows that he had the highest batting and fielding averages of any' player/>n the St. Louis team, that Is of the outfielders. Answer?Have no Idea as to why Manager Rickey did not use Mann more than he did Except that Rickey did not consider that he was as valuable to him as some other players. The manager Is the man who decides that sort of thing and not the player's record. He is said to have retired from major league baseball. X%w York.. May 3 ?- What Tldeu and .Richards *a\e beeu wurkiflK for is noon likely to come about ?an issue oa the player-i writer rule. Everything points to the probability of a referen-j duui in the Vnlted States Lmmu Tennis Association as to whether or not this rule shall be rescind*d. An official of the asso ciation told the writer today tliat he was hv nn means certain how such a vote Mould result. It would all de pend upon whether admiration for the two .star* outbalanced a desire f f<u* a strict amateur stand. l! such a vote is held it would he only fair for Tilden to lay his rards upon lh<- table and to give ex act information as to just how much mom> he h-as made out rf lawn tennis and thc_. various ways in which lo made it. Suppose it were to appear that Tilden was picking up twenty or twenty five thousand dollars a year through hi* various activities relating to lawn tennis? Or fifteen or eighteen thousand? Would this affect the attitude of the members of the U. S. L. T. A., throughout the country? It might. Just as there might be a reaction of, the opposite sort were Tilden able to show that his iucome is not very sub stantial.
