INFIELDERS NOT GETTING CHANCES Improved I'ilcliinp and !*-??' Sailing in Air In*t)>ad Ski|' piiifl oil Ground U Kensmi for Low Itrriiril. JOHN l?. KOSTKIl 1*34. b AI.MM New York. Juno 11 ?Strings of accepted infield chances are not being run up In the major leagues this year as profusely as they have been In past sessions. The record for the season to date Is fourteen accepted chances in one game, and a new comer?Wright of Pittsburgh? holds that. The season started off as If the In flelders were going to run riot. Grantham took his night chances four days In a row and pretty re spectable strings were run up by other Inflelders. Hut they aren't doing It anymore. The reason Is that the batters are not hitting so many on the ground. More hits are going into the air. The outfielders cut the side down early, and the batters do not have so many chances. That brings up the point of Im proved pitching. It Is shown most clearly In the American L'-auue, | where there Is a long list of pitchers who are doing better than average work. In the National, three or four pitchers are Inclined to run out In front and then comes a block of hurlers who are making both ends meet, followed by others who will not have any perceptible margin of games won when the season ends. The record for infield chances ac cepted In one game was set at 15 In 1923. Pecklnpaugh made that record. Gerber and Ponsecsi both got 14 In a game and so did Ivy Olson. There were quite a number of thlrteens. But this year only Gerber and Tlerney have climbed as high as 13, while Wrikht stands alone with his 14. Young Lee. the Boston American shortstop has never quite got going because of an injury to his hand. Last year In the Western league he was the marvel of the minor league ground coverers. When he hits Ills stride for Boston, it is expected that he will put up a mark or two for aome of the other stops to shoot at ?provided, of couse. the Boston pitchers get batted enough to give him chances. Just now the "no ac count" pitching staff of the Ited 8ox. as it was dubbed by some critics in the spring, seenm to be about as good as any in the league. Bill McKeechnle, manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Is the most op timistic second division manager in the National League. Despite the inability of the Pirates to get going. Bill insists that his team will be in the thick of the pennant fight be fore the race Is over. Major League Baseball NATIONAL LKAGUR TiipwIuv'k Score*. Boston 6? St. Louis nrooklyn _..4?

Hy F.l I It l'LAV Cotyrilfil. I Mi. The *!??!??? Now York. Juno 11.?In ^oIiik the full route with Hurry Wills at the Quoonsboro A. C. on Monday night ? Hartley Madden brought Tex Itlck ard's worst fears to realization. Everybody was Inclined to smile at Tex's caution in waiting until af ter this battle before hooking himself to Wills and Flrpo for a half u mil-' I Hon dollar battle. Now It la clear what a far-seeing guy Tex la. Wills' Immediate future depends upon whether or not ltickard thinks that the fans will dig down in their jeans for a whole lot of money to see him mingle with Flrpo. At this writing Tex has not digested the sit uation. The writer's dope, however, is that the battle will be held and that Flr po will get more money for his ser-j vices than Wills. Harry's showing should not be re-.! garded as poor simply because he failed to knock out Madden. Others I have failed to do thin, notably Tom my Gibbon*. The Irishman has a i poor telegraph system from various parts of his body to his brain. Blows don't register on hi* mind the way they do on a more highly sensitized' fighter. Thus while Madden will feel a blow locally he does not get that sick feeling up in his brain and down his spine that induces a desire for. sic. p even with no bed present. No it was not so much that Willsj did not stow Dartlev away but his' manner of milling that disappointed; those who had come to see a deadly' panther in action. Instead they saw a brown bear, a* slow footed, shuffling, pawing bruin who seemed to have forgotten how I to hit. And don't overlook the fact' that Wills did a lot of holding audi hugging that was very bear-like. He had to in the tenth and elev-j enth rounds for Madden, weighing' 2S pounds less than Ills opponent! and five inches shorter in stature.) went into the big brown man like a j fox terrier into, a St. Bernard and I hasted the negro with every wallop known to pugilism. Dut while Hartley can withstandI .shocks lie cannot administer them. <Wills thus was at no time In danger ' froin the assault. The flrst clean blow that Wills struck was a hard right in the twelfth that opened up Madden's face and covered him with blood. Before that It had been noth ing but short harmless jolts and cuffs. It was then, with Bartley bleeding like a stuck pig. that Harry tried to finish his man. but at the end of the assault when the bell rang ending the round. Madden faced the spec tators with a red grin and walked as steadily to his corner as though going to mass on Sunday. Thai ended any danger the Irish-, man may have faced of goinu to the i floor. In the fifteenth he deliberate ly laughed at the negro. flame? The writer will sav Mad den Is game. Heyond that little can I bn said. Madden is a good tough second rater and will never he any-1 thing else. As for Wills he was slow, uncer tain. and too warlike. Maybe lt? needed this battle, perhaps he will be the better man for it. Hut it looks, brothers, as though Harry has coiue to old age. I j To Service? The Albemarle Pharmacy dds Quality. NKW ZKALW1) WIIKAT SHORT Weellngton, N. Z..
