Latter's Inferior Work Cause of Tiger's Poor Showing. + The poor showing of the Detroit Tigers thus far has been one of the race. The Tigers were not figured to win this year, but they were count- ed to be up there in the running. They have been last most of the way thus far, and are now fighting it out with the Athletics for the ° cellar berth. The reason for the failhire of De- | troit ds obvious. Tyrus Raymond Cobb has not been himself this spring. And Cobb, as all the world knows, has been fifty per cent. of the Tiger team for a decade. Cobb is thirty-one. He is not through by any means.

With so many National League clubs in need lof pitchers, "Chief' Bender's passing into the American League has jcreated considerable surprise. It geems that word was passed along among the (National League clubs that the "chief" got along so famously 'with the Phillies last, year chiefly through the med- lum of something akin to the fam- ous shine ball. It wlso was hinted that the '"'chief" would jbe watched very closely and that he would be stopped if the tried to use that ball again. How much truth there is in that yarn is not known. Something like that was heard last season when Bender was making his sensational comeback, but fit will be remember- ed that in 1917 it was quite fashion- able to attribute most of the pitch- ing success to mud, shine emery, tallow, talcum [powder and various other species: of reputed pitching aids. This year Cicotte's shine ball hag lost most of fits shine. Joe Finnernan's tallow ball was thrown into the discard last week. Now let the Yanks bring on the "chief" and let him deny base calumnies i terms of scattered d negligi base hits. [Umpire Owens says t nearly all pitchers in the American Leagup are endeavoring to use the "'shiné ball," and this accounts for the low batting averages of Cobb, Speaker and other crack hitters.

Tat BOY SCUBLERS TO ROW. Hackett of Minnesota Meets Durnan at Toronto in August. Hanlan Hackett, of Hackett, Bel- trami county, Minnesota, has accept- ed the challenge of John Durnan ,of Toronto, to row a match on Toronto Bay during the present season. Hackett is the sixteen-year-old son of John L. Hackett, the veteran sculler, who was beaten in Toronto last summer by Eddie Durnan for the professional championship of America. John Durnan is the son of the champion, and Is at the same age as young Hackett. The latter was named after "Ned Hanlan, the famous "Boy in Blue." Hanlan Hackett is a schoolboy at Baudette, Minn., and will be employ- ed on his father's farm at Hackejft, Minn, most of the summer, Hack- ett, sen., accepts the challenge on behalf of his son, and agrees that the race shall be over a distance of ie mile and one-half straightway. e asks for expenses in the amount of one hundred and twenty dollars, the prize to the winners to be a diamond ring, ad :.suggested in the challenge. forwarded by Eddie Rur- nan some time ago. The elder Hack- ett also stipulates that the boat money and other proceeds of the race, after expenses are paid, be do- nated to the Red Cross, the Sports- men's Patriotic Association, or other war cause, Hackett, Minn., is hamed alter the family, and is situated on Rainy River above Kenora, Ont. It is pro- bable that the race will be rowed about August 25, that date having been suggested' by the Minnesotian and being satisfactory to. Durnan. "Chief" Was Pretty Close, No pitcher has ever registered a no-hit game in both of the major leagues, but Chief Bender, of the Phillies, has come near to perform- ing the feat. He scored a no-hit game over the Cleveland team while working for the Athletics in the Am- mericgn league a few years ago, and this season he held the Chacigo Cubs to one safety, while at the hight of his "come back" achievements with the Phillies, former Nat'onal Loague champions. Another One Gone, The war has claimed another vie- tim from the rank of boxers in Gun- ner Hewitt, the famous English heavyweight. One of the first to re- join the colors on the outbreak of the war, he was twice wounded. Hewitt won the -navy and army heavyweight championships in 104, 1908 and 1909. May Visit America. Harry Vardon, the famous English golfer, is expected to be .able to ac- cept the invitation of the American golfers to visit the States to help raise half a million dollars for the benefit of the Red Cross. He is ar- ranging with another prominent pro- fessional to come with him and ob- taining the necessary permission from the authorities. 4Stallings has ceased to be a target. Still some hope for the Boston Braves, who are playing smart ball and are climbing the ladder. Elmer Myers does not seem to have the great speed which he had when he [first made his appearance in the American League. Gy Williams hag strengthened the Phillies in batting. It is estimated that the increased railroad rales will mean an addi- tional expense of $5,000 a year for each major league club. The Yankees have some hard left- field hitlers, and some hard right- field hitters, but other clubs are finding the home-run range on the stands much more frequently than the Yanks. Johnny Lavan made a remarkable start this season as a hitter, but the big - lump has arrived and the ex- Brownie is now down near the .230 class, Pat Moran thinks highly of Joe Oeschger, but that young man usual- ly is easy for the Giants to beat. Larry Doyle is still getting along nicely, but it is doubtful whether he will be able to get back into the game before July 1st. 'Reb Faber, of the White Sox, says that he will enlist at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station before the end of June. Manager Stallings is entitled to credit for the way he has bolstered the Braves. They are travelling fast. Nemo Leibotd has been hitting poorly and Eddie Murphy has beat him out for a regular place in the White Sox outfield. The fine work of the Boston Braves 13 a live topic, and Manager Lee King, reported as having en- listed in the army, has not yet join- ed the colors and Is still with the Pirates. Fielder Jones has the Browns-go- ing at top speed. They'll be hard to beat on their own grounds. Talcott, of Yale, is setting up a remarkable record for control. He has pitched most of Yale's games this season, and has issued only two passes. He also specializes in shut- outs. No Hockey in Hamilton. As far as Hamilton Hockey Club is concerned there will be no hockey in Hamilton next winter. The club officials are scraping up sufficient money with which to clear their in- debtedness and then they intend to forget all about the game until the war is over, With the Royal Flying Corps quar- tered in Beamsville and at the West- inghouse, it is the fliers that this city's hockey fans will have to look for their hockey next season. Explanation Of Luck. Two men were once asked to de- fine luck in golf. One consumed sev- eral hours and about 2,000 words in writing his views, while the other, a busy man, dismissed the subject with: "The expression 'luck' is most commonly used to mean that a play- er has succeeded by the barest pos- sible margin in accomplishing some desirable end, or more particularly in avoiding some disaster, while bad luck denotes the exact converse." em---- White Sox Lose Faber. 'Urban "Red" Faber, pitcher of the Chicago 'American League team and hero of the last world's cham- plonship series, has left the club. Faber, who has been placed In class A-1 of the draft, will spend a few days at his home in Cascade, Towa, after which he plans to enlist in the navy at the Great Lakes Naval train- ing station.
