* Dozen Men
fDutcli" Betke, the Borger Ape-
mán, who has been absent from the
wrestling ring here for a month
while recovering from sever injuries,
bás again started training for his
return to the mat next Monday night
when he meets Thor Jensen, the ter-
rible Dane who thrilled a large aud-
ience several nights ago in his match
with Young Goteh.
Betke challenged Jensen to a
nf&tch after the big boy had nearly
terft Gotch limb from limb to win
the match. In taking on Jensen,
the Dutchman is making his return
to the ring with plenty of noise, al-
though as yet he has issued no
-threats.
Dutch has opened training head-
Quarters at the Garden Athletic club,
which has nowbeen transformed into
formerly the old Boi-ger dance hall,
á wrestling and boxing show. "Scotch

dozen others may bee seen almost

nifep at the Garden arena. Only yes-
terday Dutch steamed up during a
training session and tossed five men
through the doorway and out into
the street where they were picked up
by an ambulance.
Betke claims his injured side has
completely healed and he is in ex-
cellent condition, ready to enter the
ring with the best of them and give
tho fans a genuine show.

PIRATES TIE
CARDINALS
Teams Lead as Robins Batter
Giants Out of Top
Position
(By The Associated Press
Pirates and Cardinals today were
deadlocked for leadership of the Na-
tional League, the Giants having lost
ground before a persistent Brooklyn
Jinx.
In the Pirate-Cardinal series at
Pittsburgh the buccanneers crowded
into a tie by winning 11 to 10, 1
game -marked by tarrific hitting.
They were seven runs behind at one
stage but the big guns opened fire
with a roar in the fifth for a total
of 11 runs from then on. It was a
large-sized ball game in many ways.
The hits totalled 33, of which Pitts-
burgh had 17, and the home team
used 20 players four of whom were
pitchers.
Another hard fall for the Giants
at the hands of the lloblns loft them
third on the list and still facing the
Hiooklyn Indian sign. It was work-
ing overtime yesterday when L'nclc
Kobbie's erstwhile cellar dwellers
overcame a five run lead and won
7. to fi.
The other club that, has been bear-
ing a change of life met eventual
disaster when the White Sox fell lie-
tore the Tigers by 5 to 1, after win-
ning seven games in a row and chang-
ing to third place in the American
league. Pothergill who has hit in
every g.inie Iiis team has played this
season, kept it up with a single in
the fifth.
With Coslln and Rice out of tho
line-up because of sudden attacks
of pleurisy and sinus trouble respec-
tively, the Senators lost to the Yanks
fi to 4- The casualty list included
Walter Johnson and Bucky Harris
The Chicago Cubs also encounter-
ed a jinx although they bunched
hits enough to defeat Cincinnati, 4
to 3. An x-ray showed a splintered
bone in the left elbow of their star
left hand pitcher, Percy Jones.
Doging on the heehvs of tho league
leading Yankees, the Athletics scored
a clean-cut 7 to 2 victory over tho
Bed Sox, while the Braves made the
day's honors even between Phila-
delphia and Boston by walloping the
Phillies, 7 to 4. The smart of a
ninth-inning defeat for the Cleveland
i idiuns the previous day was wiped
out when they came back to neat
the St. Louis Browns 5 to 3.
Because his team had been beaten
in the match for the football cham-
pionship of France, a player shot
himself at Lezlngnan recently.

out happens before the opening of
tho season.
I have in mind Outflerder
Lehourvemt of the New Y?rk
Giants The ball players call him
• Revo" for short. Most of the
Clants, even the collegians, hesi-
tate about the proper pronuncia-
tion of the Tiame of the rookie
gardener. So during the rest of
this yarn ho is "Boyo,"
In tho Jlffit exhibition game I
saw "Bovo" perform, he cracked
out a home run on his first trip (o
the pl3te. it was a terrific wallop.-
During the remainder of the con-
lesNfce gave every evidence of be-
ing ab!o to hit tho pill.
A fsw days later, as lead-off
wan of tho Giants against the
Philadelphia Athletics, I saw him
rápeat the trick in the opening in-
king, against so effective a pitcher
as Sam Gray.
• * *
Looking into the record book. J
(Uncovered "Bevo." as a member of
ti'c Toledo team of the American
Association, led that league in bat-
<¡.10 last year with an average of
.'77. He made If home runs in
d.img it.

Batting Power
statistics made it seem
that "Bevo" was all that he
seemed to fea at the plate in the
spring exhibition games—a dan-
■f.eroua batsman.
At '.'¡a time F 1d Rousli was a
ticiüKUt and it was only natural
ti:-f John MoGraw was much
j)lu-"<seU with the batting punch

¿¿bition games.

his chances of mafclni
a regular berth diminished rap-
Idly when his hitting suffered s
severe «lump.
It seems that the high standing
that I am sure "Bevo" must have
had during those early, days ol
spring training with John Mc.
Graw has underwent quite a
change. At least I so surmise by
the reports that he will bé on the'
bench when the season opens.
The baseball experts with the
Giants rate "Bevo's" chances to
start as a regular rather slim.
* * «
On the other hand, players who
on early season form made no
great impression, are in a fair way
to win regular berths. J have in
mind Pitcher Wiley Moore of the
New York Yankees as a type.

Butter and Egg Men
rPHE "Big gutter and Egg Men"
A are gettirife into the sports
game.
It -seems the new owner of the
Rochester /(N. Y.) team of tho
International League formerly
owned one of the big dairies in
that city. He featured butter and
eggs, aside from the routine milk
and cream stuff.
Bringing the butter and egg
business even closer, we have
Johnny Miles of Sydney Mines,
Nova Scotia, marathon champion,
playing the leading role.
In an effort to repeat his suc-
cess of last year in the Boston
marathon. Johnny is bringing his
own supply of butter and eses
with him, also 24 loaves of home-
made bread settled in tin éuii-
tainers.
