Frank Brower and Louis Guistc

Cleveland Indians from now on, Man-
ager Tris Speaker has announced.
Brower will play when a right

The scheme became effective Tues-
day, when Brower got a single and
a triple in three times against Wal-
ter Johnson.
. Kenneth Williams, the • Brown

year as the rival of Babe Ruth, has
started cut this year to bo a more
formidable barrier in the way of the
Babe's comeback. The work of Wil-
liams with the stick last year was no
flash of form, as has been shown by
his clouting of the early season and
there is no reason to figure that he
will slump as the schedule drifts
along.
Ruth started fast, but he went
off form again, and although he has
been playing the best all-around game
of his career, he has not found
himself, and he will have to step if
he has hopes of making a new record
this year.

Hard Tennis Courts .
Are Preferred by the
British Tennis Stars
London, May 16.—(Associated
Press. )—Tennis, like everything else
in these progressive days, has to
conform to altered world conditions
and, following the change from old
to new Wimbledon and the abolition
of “worldk titld” therefrom, comes
the news that the British Davis Cup
trial matches will probably be held on
hard courts. This ia* in order that
the selected players may be used to
the courts on which most of the 18
competing countries play, and also
to the probability that the British
team will have to go to Belgium
where hard courts are used,
These forthcoming trials, so far as
England is concerned, are likely to
bring out very little new talent, and
the old country will have to rely on
such old guards as Kingscote, Craw-
ley, Gilbert, Lycett, Lowe, Max Woos-
nam, and Roper Barret. The only
new man mentioned with any pre-
tentions to Davis Cup form is the
26-yearold South African, J. D. P.
Wheatly, who has been educated here
and has qualifications to play for
Great Bditian.
Wheatley showed remarkable
form recently when he won the Cov-
ered Courts Championship at Queens
doubtful that be will be able 1
meet Joe Beckett in London early
in June as scheduled. —---2—
surgeon will examine Carpentier
next week to decide whether he shall
keep his engagement with Beckett
or renounce his chance to become
British champion.

► That’s when you’re glad you
came here for your tackle—you
know it will stand the toughest
fight he can put up.
By HENRY FARRELL
(United Press Sports Editor)
New York, May 1 A—(United
Press.)—When almost every athletic
record of importance set up in the
past has been made to look easy by
the advancement and improvement in
modern sports, it is not safe to as-
sume that the marks of the present
day will be any less breakproof in
front of the assault of the next gen-
eration of stars.
If there is one modern achievement
of sport that has a chance to remain
on the books for a long time, it is
the' record of Everett Scott, the
champion marathon man of basebaH,
who has passed the 1,000 mark for
participation in consecutive games.
Scotty’s mark ia bound to remain
for five more years, because no other
player in the major leagues has
enough behind him to equal the rec-(
ord without playing in every game
for the next five year*.
Numerous theories have been ad-
vanced in figuring the secret of the
Deacon's phenomenal exhibition of
endurance and dependability and the
pet theory ia that he has been the
sidelkick of a lot of lu<#c.
Scotty admits that he has been
helped by luck in reaching a mark
more than twice as good as that
accomplished by any other player
and some of the experiences he has
been through bear out that the
fates kept a watchful eye and hand
over him
It is well known how he was spiked,
knocked out with balls, dropped
by bats and held up by train wrecks
but the tightest pinch from which
he escaped came when he was laid
up with a boil on his eye and was un-
able to go to the park. His record
shot until a rainstorm came along
before the game and caused a post-
ponement.
That was pure luck, of course.
With all the luck in the world,
Scotty could not have made his rec-
ord, however, if he didn’t have the
heart and habits of a conscientious
worker end the spirit of subservience
of the team.
Scotty is* just a natural plugger
and he ia there all the time. He
says he never missed a day at school
and he apparently developed at a ten-
der age the habit of “being there.’
Even before be had thought of the
possibility of making a record, he
was following his policy of “being
there” and his great record is the
result.

In the game' played between the
Gainesville High School and the
Wolf Ridge town club last Wednes-
day afternoon, the Maroon and
White Leopards of Coach Estes
easily won the contest in seven in-
nings by the score of 17 to 1.
Clarence Hayworth, mainstay of
last year’s high school nine, was
given his first tryout and let the
Wolves down with eight well scat-
tered hits. Behind the avalanche of
runs secured by his teammates, he
eased up the seventh, however, and
allowed the visitors to score one
run.
The only features of the game
was the hitting of Cook, Pember-
ton and Fulton for Gainesville. Pem-
berton cracked out a three base hit,
while Cook registered two two-base
blows. Cook hit safely four out of
five times up, while Fulton got a
single and a double in three times at
the plate. Pemberton also went wild
on the bases, purloining four sacks.

..Thomas Joseph Gibbons, respect-
ed citizen, responsible business man
of St. Paul and a family man of the
highest ideals, is going to fight
Jack Dempsey in Shelby, Montana,
on July 4, for the world’s heavy-
weight championship.
To know a man of the character
of Tom Gibbons,*to have first hand
knowledge of his private life and to
asaociate him with the prize ring is
a problem in psychology, where the
answer lies only in the man.
“A profession js just as honorable
as a man makes it,” Tommy once
said, when asked why he had chosen
to follow the ring as his career.
Facts and figures about the ring
career of Tom Gibbons can be found
in the record books, but the real
l story of Gibbons is familiar to only
a few who hare been fortunate en-
ough to know him intimately and
win his confidence.
There was a “Gentleman Jim”
Corbett, who left a desk in a bank
to become a heavyweight champion;
there were Jim Jeffries and Kid
McCoy, sons of clergymen, who won
titles in the ring and there was a
Carpenter who rose to the pedestal
of a national hero,but none of them
possessed the all-around qualificat-
ions of refinement that are personi-
fied in Tommy Gibbons.
Always a dean liver from the time
• he was removed from the discipline
of a strict Irish parent, Gibbons has
never been a victim of aiiy kind
of dissipation. He has never smok-
ed or drank and his idea of a wild
party after he has won a contest is
to partake of several quarts of ice
cream.

A Man of Family.
Gibbons places his religion
family obligations above everything
else and when he is not in the ring
or taking a trip on ring business he
can be found around his home in
St. Paul with his three sturdy
youngsters, Thomas Joseph (Little
Junior) age 5;John Anthony (Jack)
age 3, and Richard Gregory (Dick)
I age eight months..
Last winter Gibbens spent a few
weeks in New York and at that .time
he was being mentioned as one of
the opponents for Dempsey this
summer. Every one wanted to talk
about it, but Tom. When the con-
versation drifted around to ring sub-
jects, Tom would get into another
channel and tell with the greatest
how little Tommy, just a few days
before Christmas, had found a pair
of snow shoes back of the piano
whebe Santk, Claus, had carelessly ex-
posed them io view.
When the talk would be worked
around to boxing again, Tommy
would prefer to talk about “Duke,”
one of his hunting dogs which he
claimed to be the smartest animal
in the North.
A Great Hunter.
Gibbons is a great hunter and
outdoor man and he likes to discuss
his theories about the training of
dogs and argue about the best breed,
their various pecularities and capa-
bilities. He is essentially an out-
door man and he is bringing up his
family the same way. Little Tom
and Jack are cracks on snowshoes
and skis and they accompany their
father on most of his winter jaunts
through the woods.
It has often been pointed out to
Gibbons that he had not advanced
as rapidly in his profession as his
talents merited, because he did not
show himself enough around New
( York and the big boxing centers.
“I’m happy where I am. I could
• [not be happy in New York. The
.wife and the kiddies could never
stand being cramped in New York
and my place is with them all the
time, even when it does exact some
big sacrifices,” he. would say in
answer.
Characters of such high ideals are
so unu8ual in the boxing game that
a personality like Gibbons seems
almost an accident and he did get
sort of an accidental, or if it might
be considered as such, a sort of pre-
destined start in the ring.
In a second chapter tomorrow,
Gibbons’ early career in the ring
and how he got started will be re-
lated.
Scotty is one of the mo»t popular
payers on the Yankee team and all
around the American League circuit.
.The players on the team say he ia
the only one on their family who can
call Babe Ruth' “Tarzan” and get
away with it.
Modesty is the Deacon’s meat
pleasing virtue. In discussing the
. game recently, he said he couldn't
l,m* hit and never could hit and that he
had to specialize on fielding to cinch
a job that would put him in the field
every day. t
Development of talent and stamina
to an almost remarkable degree
among school boy athletq? was one
of the outstanding observations at
the recent Pennsylvania relay
carnival. ’ Little youngsters from
the grainmer schools and the high
schools made time almost as good
in the mile relay events as the col-
lege athletes did several years ago.
It was obvious that, the youngsters
coming up now are possessed with
more endurance, because collapses
at the finish were most rare. Three
years ago, and even up to last year,
several policemen at the finish line
