THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. SEW YORK, FRIDAY. JUSE 6. 1913. RUCKER SHUTS OUT REDS WITH TWO HITS AND SUPERBAS GAIN PLAY ON THE COURTS OF THE MARINE AND FIELD CLUB.

They leave here Sunday night for Pittsburg.

On Sunday afternoon they will take In the game between Cincinnati and the Phillies. Foxhall P. Keene, the newly appointed captain of the American Polo team which will meet the British experts next week, denied emphatically today that there was the least bit of feeling among the players because of the recent change In the lineup. The rumor that there Is con By beating the Reds yesterday 4 to 0 while the Giants were being held up In St. Louis by rain, the Superbas advanced to within half a game of the Giants, and, If the New Yorkers lose today while the Brooklynites are resting, the second berth In the National League will pass to the Flatbush side of the bridges.

The Superbas won yesterday for two very good reasons. First, it was Impossible for the Reds to score against such faultless pitching as Rucker showed, and his upport was as good as his delivery. Second, the Superbas, for the first time this week, bunched their hits with a reasonable amount of consistency. They made 1 vi in It' It will bring together H. A.

When not bitting he is reaching first by various devious schemes, for be is one of the most difficult men In the league to pitch to because of his abbreviated size, which as aggravates by crouching. How the Brooklyn Scored. Moran opened the game with a single to left.

Groh mussed up Cutshaw's drive and Cutshaw was safe. Moran going to third. Stengel sent Marsans a prodigious lone fly to right, which scored Moran and put Cutshaw on third. Wheat grounded feebly to Hoblltzel without helping Cutshaw. Daubert biffed to Tinker and was safe at first by a whisker, which completed the circuit for Cutshaw.

Daubert stole second and Smith was pinked by a pitched ball, but Fisher forced Smith. Miller smote so shrewdly at Johnson as a starter for the second Inning that the ball bounded to Almeida, who foolishly tried to catch Miller at first. Almeida's throw was wild, and Miller reached second. Rucker sacrificed and Moran's sacrifice fly to Bescher scored Miller. Johnson had the Superbas practically helpless from tho second to the ninth, but In tho ninth, with two out, he suffered again.

Fisher bunted safely, stole second and went home In Miller's untarnished double to left. Rucker died on a grounder. Tinker's hit off Rucker In the flfth was spotless but the other hit, that by Kling In the sixth, bore the bar sinister. It was a short fly that Moran got In his hands after a desperate run. but dropped as he skidded forward upon his nose.

Fifteen distance runners competed yesterday in the six-mile road race at Coney Island, known as the Coney Island Derby, but owing to the heat and bard going on the asphalt only nine runners finished.

Harry Smith, the national ten-mile champion, led the pack across the line by 150 feet. Smith took the lead shortly after the start, and from the first lap to the last the big blond-haired champion Increased his lead over John Eke of the Irish-American A. C. and Frank Masterson of the New York A. his two nearest competitors.

William Rozette, the winner of the Brooklyn-Sea Gate marathon, started, but the heat forced him out after he bad covered two laps. George Klely. A. Rosan-der and H. Broderlck were also forced out after going a short distance.

Frank Masterson hung on to second place for most of the distance, closely followed by John Eke. The latter seemed to be the stronger of the two, and coming into the home stretch the Irish-American runner opened up at the same time that Harry Smith did and Masterson was forced Into third place, about forty yards behind Eke. The winner covered the distance Is 33 BS, which was remarkable time, considering the conditions. The runners had to dodge around automobiles and trucks and the turns were so sharp that Beveral of the runners slipped to the pavement. About twenty thousand epectators viewed the race.

William J. Ward, president of the Bank of Coney Island, fired the starting shot. The summaries: Pos. Name and Club. 1..

Rucker was the white-haired boy yesterday end the Reds were made to roll over, Jump through and play dead. Only twenty-nine batters faced Nap In the entire game and only two measly little hits were made off his southpaw shoots. Some sensational fielding marked the play of the Superbas In the field and the Cincinnati rooters were made to believe that there was at least one other team in the league besides the Reds. Well, the Yanks put up some kind of a game yesterday, but the Naps saved their punch for the tenth Inning and then they put over two runs Instead of the conventional one, thereby making It harder for the Yankees to win out, and like good little fellows, the Yankees did not win out, Harry Wolter came near getting In bad with the rest of the team when he poled out two home runs and tried to win the game all by himself. Harry wss quietly informed that the Yanka were not supposed to win a game on their borne grounds.

As predicted In this column yesterday, the Athletics won again. There are a great many people who are auspicious about the ten games that the Athletics lost, many believing that some miracle must have been performed by the winning team to enable It to take a game from the speedy ex-champs. Otto Hess held the Cubs safe yesterday and Boston changed places with the Reds at the tail end of the league standing. The Braves pounded out thirteen hits off two Cub pitchers and three pinch bitters In the last inning were unable to do much for the Windy City crew. The Red Sox and White Sox bave been having a nice little party all by themselves with honors about even.

Yesterday's game went to the White Sox wben the Red Sox lnfleldera got three errors out of their systems. The Newark Indians ars playing great ball these days and every member of the team is clouting the ball for keeps. Swaclna, the big first baseman, cracked out two doubles and two singles In yesterday's gams against the Grays. Frank Chance will be presented with a diamond emblem of the Order of Moose this afternoon at the Polo Grounds. Frank has been presented with about everything that a person could be presented with, except a winning team.

Tomorrow, Ray Keating will be presented with a diamond ring by his Bridgeport admirers. AMERICAN. ritvelaml. NEW TOftK. I'hllsrtelphls.

the change being made solely to strengthen the chances of the title holders. With the first clash of the teams for the International championship but foul days off, the move made by the management Is regarded as one for the good. The English players bave Improved wonderfully, their ponies are In excellent condition and it Is most necessary thai the American lineup should be as strong If not stronger than It was two years ago. At present the visiting four rulea favorite. The team as It will lineup against the British four will have L.

E. Stoddard at No. D. Mllburn, No. F.

P. Keene, No. 3, and M. Stevenson, back. Mllburn baa been shifted from back to No.

2, as Captain Keene believes that the player will show up better In that position. Harry Payne Whitney and Larry and Monte Waterbury will ba ready to rush In the game at any time, they having ao cepted positions as substitutes. Mllburn was a member of the 1901 team which won the trophy from the English team and be played brilliantly at the back position. But in practice Wednesday he was very skillful lu bis new position and it is thought that new strength has been added by the changa. Stevenson is an expert horseman and a very hard one to tackle.

His knowledge of the game Is thorough and he can be relied upon to do his share toward keep ing the championship on this side of the ocean. Stoddard Is lightning fast and be is a good hitter. The playing ability of Keene and Mllburn Is known the world over and the new team shape up as a very fast aggregation that should give the English a hard fight for the cham pionship. I he bnglish team Is composed of ex cellent players and the pontes could not be improved on. Every member of the four is as skillful as any polo player In the land and their long stay on Long Island with plenty of practice has caused much worry in the American camp.

Both teams will be out on tbe green today, the Americans to perfect their team work and develop their ponies into good clay ing form. Mr. Whitney haB offered his en tire string of ponies to tbe borne team for the contests. SPORTING EVENTS TOMORROW Athletics. New York Athlctlo Club meet at Traver's Island.

A little more of that sort of stuff and the Superbas will be traveling at a rate commensurate with their ability.

Two of their four ruu were largely due to two errors, but the Superbas batted In the other two counters in a wholesome and manly fashion suggestive of their gallus doings when they were playing the Western teams In Brooklyn. There was uo question whatever o( luck in the trimming of the Reds yesterday, and the newspapermen who accompanied the Cincinnati team to Brooklyn In May and were Impressed by the Superbas showings were wondering why the hitting had not been better recently. More Infield Hits for Daubert. One of the freaks of the contest was that Daubert continued his marvelous streak of Infield hits. He was credited with two singles that to Tinker In tinl Inning came perilously near being an error for that youth.

The other was a drive over second base that Tinker knocked down but could not handle. On his other two trips to the plate, Daubert popped to Tinker and grounded to Grob. Otto Miller was one of the weak brothers who came to life yesterday and wrought evil to the enemy. He beat out a drive that Johnson deflected to Aiiiut.U in the second inning. In the nlnu, he whacked a clean double to left that sent Fisher home from second.

Maybe better days are coming. Jake Daubert's uncanny reaching after low throws was the ever present feature of the fielding. Cutshaw and Groh, the rival second basemen, were the men who pulled the stuff that got the biggest hand. With Stengel on first in the eighth InniDg as the result of a single, Wheat drove a vicious bounder over second. With a flea-like hop, Groh was after the ball, got it In his bare hand and tossed out Stengel to Tinker.

It was a rattling, sizzling play and stirred Cincinnati random, which was present some 4,000 strong. Cutshaw, In the second inning, robbed Almeida of a hit by grabbing a hot smash thatt scooted past Daubert and was ticketed as a double to right. The Reds' Only Chance to Score. The sole chance the Reds had to score was spoiled by a scries of first class fielding stunts by the Superbas in the fifth inning. Tinker opened the inning with a single to center, the first safo blow off Rucker.

Hoblltzel grounded to Daubert. whose shot to Fisher forced Tinker at second. Almeida banged a red hot clout over third base. J. Carlisle Smith pulled It In in true Smlthlan fash-Inn and snapped to Cutshaw at second, forcing Hoblltzel.

Groh forced Almeida. That thing of opening an inning with a single and having the next three men uncork forces used to be one of the saddest specialties of the Superbiis last year and the year before, wherefore they hugely enjoyed seeing the Reds so afflicted yesterday. Take note that Herbert Moran has become the most consistent hitter Brooklyn has. Not much attention has been paid IINCINNATI. June 6 Nap Rucker I claims he Is the man who iVfcgal Btarted the present universal lgyftju system of having a catcher handle the pitcher In batting practice.

The old method was to havs the pitcher shoot the ball to the batter with no one up there to take the shoots. Nap explained how he brought abotu the innovation In the course of a discussion of the value of catchers to pitchers. Quotb he: "I can't now and never could warm up satisfactorily or get a line on my curves and control unless I have a catcher up thore under the batter. It makes all the inherence in the world to be throwing to a man Instead of to an aching void. I kicked so much when I came to Brooklyn that to humor me a catcher was told off to receive me In practice.

The other pitchers wanted the samo thing, and from the Brooklyn club it spread all through the major leagues. "Brooklyn has two of the best catchers In Krwin and Miller that a pitcher Ker worked with. They think for themselves and also help to think for the man on the slab. Both are keen Judges of men and deliveries and adjust them-eelves to circumstances. They are especially quick to see that a pitcher's weak or strong point is In evidence and they act accordingly.

Sometimes a Bmart catcher will know more about what a pitcher can do than he knowB himself, and that kind of a fellow behind the wind pad is a mighty big help. Some catchers are regular boneheads and will insist up on calling for the wrong thing, which ijot only comforts the batter out puts the pitcher up in the air. Benny Meyer, outfielder, and Bill Fischer, catcher, the two recruits from the International League, were working under provisional contracts until last Wednesday, when they signed regular contracts. One of the strange things about new plays that bob up in baseball is that they do not occur every little while. The ball players and all Cincinnati fandom are still dusclsslng that novelty which a.oso here last Tuesday.

Moran was on first, got a big lead and stole Just as Kling took a foul tip off Cutshaw's bat. In bis anxiety to throw to second, Kling dropped the ball after he undoubtedly caught it. Umpire Hank O'Day first ordered Moran to return then told him to keep second, on the ground that the ball had been caught and that the muff in grabbing It for a throw was a separate incident. Hank was absolutely correct, as even Joo Tinker later acknowledged. Now.

why has not that combination of circumstances been noted hundreds of times? The batter almost invariably swings at the ball when a steal Is started; a fair proportion of those swings result in foul tips that are caught. On a reasonable number of those caught foul tips the catcher drops the ball in hlfting for the throw, or, at least, you would suppose that such a number would ho dropped yet the oldest Inhabitant cau- BASEBALL 4 Jack Allen In the upper bracket of the semi-final. Although the victor took the match in straight sets be was bard pressed by Allen throughout. The score OF GOLF CLUBS THE UNITED STATES against George Duncan and at the Deal links on May 21. H.

Taylor It Is well known that Duncan cannot play against varaon in a single, says the London Express. The Aberdonlan always feels that he Is a beaten man before he starts in a match against the famous Channel Islander, and he Is generally defeated. Perhaps it was the moral effect of having the ex-champlon as one of his opponents, but any way Duncan did play up to his usual form, nor did Taylor for that matter. In spite of the fact that they won the first two holes, Vardon missed a short putt on the first green, and Duncau was practically dead with his third at the second. A curious Incident occurred at the third.

Both Vardon and Taylor's tee shots were lying side by side on the face of a hillock. Duncan was addressing the ball with bis iron wben the ball moved slightly. No one saw the movement, but be drew the referee's attention to the fact, and as he bad grounded his club preparatory to making the stroke, It counted one shot. His aide lost this hole, and the match was squared at the fourth. It was a desperately tight struggle all the way up to the turn, where they were still level.

The turning point of the game was at the short twelfth a very difficult hole. With a strong following wind, Duncan was trapped In the bunker guarding the green, and Taylor with bis shot out got Into the pot on the far side, where Williamson was bunkered from his tee shot. Vardon made a fine recovery, and his aide won the hole In 3 to 4. This squared the match, as they had played the eleventh badly and lost It. They won the next three holes, Williamson getting down good putts at the fourteenth and fifteenth, and a halt at the sixteenth gave them the victory.

The first sign that Taylor and James were likely to crack was presented at the flfth in the finish round. James topped his tee shot Into the rough and Taylor missed his brassle. When the pair had executed three wooden club shots they had not progressed a hundred yards from the tee. Naturally, they lost the hole. In the afternoon Taylor and James never looked like making a close light of it.

They lost the first hole, at which James failed to lay his approach putt dead, and although winning the third they were eight down at the turn. After a half they won the oleventh In i and the twelfth In 2, but the end came in rather dramatic manner. At the next hole James had laid a chip shot dead, but Vardon holed out with a similar stroke from twenty yards. I PUTTS AND Match Play at Baltusrol. After his record-qualifying round of 73 In the New Jersey State championship at Baltusrol, as announced in yesterday's Eagle, Jerome D.

Miss Hollins as a Long Driver. A number of those who gallerled behind Miss Msrlon Hollins and Miss Lillian B. Hyde in tbe first round of match play on Tuesday In tho Women's Metropolitan Golf Association championship tournament at Nassau came to the conclusion that Miss Hollins la now the equal of Miss Hyde as a driver from the tee, and that the distinction held by Miss Hyde of being the longest driver among American women must hereafter be shared by the Westbrook girl. Miss Hollins was a long driver when she flashed upon the golf horizon last spring In the 1912 championship. It will be recalled that in speaklna of the practice rounds of the entrants last year The Eagle spoke of a stranger to tournament playr ft Miss Hollins, whose lone ten shots wars making the other competitors I was (4, 5.

If Dlonne wins Sunday, It will give him two legs on the challenge cup, Mollenhauer bat yet to core a win. ONE RUN MARGIN WINS FOR STRATFORD Great Stop by Carey Shuts Off Threatened Rally by Arrows. Yesterday's game In the Junior Eagls League waa between the Stratford A. C. and Arrows, the former team being the winners by the close score of 7 to 6.

Nine bases on balls helped the Stratfords to their runs, and Catcher Cherry of the Arrows let Ave thrown balls get away from him, runners scoring on three of those occasions. Two hits and two passes In the first Inning netted two runs for the Stratfords, but the Arrows came back In the second Inning with a run and evened the score In their half of the third, The Arrows were able to bit Conroy's offerings, but with runners on the bases the Stratford pitcher tightened up. and his support pulled him safely through several bad places. The Arrows took their last stand at bat In the seventh inning, and had not Carey, the Stratford first baseman, mads a wonderful back-handod stop of a Una drive, it Is possible that the Arrows would have at least tied the score. Carey's stop was one of the best seen In a Junior Eagle game.

Nat Ward Is a bit peeved, and rightfully so, because bis 23-year-old pacer Quarteretake was placed second to Air Brake In the summaries of Wednesday's races on the Speedway. The Eagle hastens to give the famous horse the honors rightfully due him. DRIVES wonder whether the entry from West-brook would not bs very near the top of tbe list at the finish. It turned out, In accordance with that prediction, that Miss Hollins was the runner-up to Mrs. Victor M.

Earle, the winner, and yesterday she got Into today'! final by defeating Mrs. H. F. Whitney. In the year that has passed Miss Hollins has done a good deal of practicing, and by virtue of a style that Is based upon tbe best principles of the game she has made much progress, until now she can hold her own with Miss Hyde, with a shade, perhaps, in favor of tbe latter In tee work.

It Miss Hollins takes part In the national tournament this year she ought to make the participants wonder whether Long Island air baa not some charm for making tbe young women send the ball off the tee like a man, and a good man player at that. One enraptured man golfer In tbe gallery In Tuesday's match expressed the belief that both young women averaged 200 yards or more on the eighteen holes, except when they topped or otherwise spoiled their shots, which was very Infrequently. That is another remarkable feature of tbe play of these young women. Their long drives are not occasional, but rather regular. They will sclaff, or sky, or top, or founder a drive in the course of a round no oftener than will such champions as Klrkby, Travers or Travis, as a general thing their tee shots being far down the middle of tbe course.

Hamilton, a London golf enthusiast and player, says that the excessive Country Club dues and fees put golf out of the reach of the American masses. The trouble with golf In the United States, he aays, Is that too much money is Invested in clubhouses and that there Is too much of a desire ao keep the membership In the clubs exclusive. "Golf In England Is a necessity," Mr. Hamilton aays: "It Is a luxury in Amer-ca. I believe If golf club dues and fees were not so exorbitant, the great Scotch game would give baseball a pretty race for popularity.

I belong to numerous clubs in and about London. Their courses are as good, it not better, than the average American course, yet the dues In none of the clubs exceed $10 a year. "Think of that as compared with tho club dues in the States. In some organizations in America, the initiation fee alone is (200, and In many of them it Is even greater. Then the annual dues run up to a similar figure in many cases.

"The trouble is too much expense is Incurred In the clubhouse Itself. There are very few courses In this country, the privileges of which are open to the fellow who likes to play, but who is not blessed with an overflowing pocketbook. "The public courses In the United States attest the popularity the game enjoys and Indicate how the game would spread It links were placed generally within reach of the public. "There la no reason why golf should be a rich man's game. It ought to be every man's game, as it Is In England or in Scotland.

The exercise It affords and the pleasure it gives recomend It to thousands and thousands who are unable to play because they bave no place to which they have access. The great grounds of the country clubs are practically Idle. Comparatively few people play on them on week days. Why should not the poorer people have an opportunity to enjoy them? "Golf keeps a man healthy. I have played mora than thirty years and never had a serious Illness In all of that time.

For people who work all day In an office an occasional day on the golf links would work wonders. No city can make a better investment for public health than by the opening of public links." This latter remark Is particularly good reading for those who wish to break up the publlo links at Forest Fark. Hard right of British. Pros. One of the most Interesting of the British professional foursomes in the Sphere and Tatler competition was that of Harry Vardon and Tom Williamson YOUNG SHUGRUE BEATS R0BIDEAU OF THE NAVY.

Young (Joe) Shugrue of Jersey City put Sammy Robldeau of Philadelphia and late of the U. S. Navy. In tbe hopeless class at the Garden Athletic Club last night. Robldeau was a 2-to-l favorite before the bout started, but before two rounds were over Shugrue showed that ha had bis number.

Ha whipped stiff left to face and body with hardly a return, and soon bad Sammy puffing. Robldeau managed to get home a few bard punches to the head that took some of Shugrue's steam, but he was hopelessly outclaseed. Three times during the fight he was on the floor, and in the last rouud was In such bad shape that Sheriff Harburger jumped to the ropes ready to stop the bout. The bell, however, came to Robzfdeau's aid and kept tbe Sheriff from getting wholly In the spotlight. Gus Platts, the latest from the shores of Merry England, gave Young Kurtz of Newark an artistic dressing for nine rounds after being sent to the floor and almost out In the first round.

Kurtz violated the rules time after time, but was only warned when he should have been disqualified. LONG BEACH KENNEL CLUB TO GIVE OPENING SHOW.

0 0 1 1 0 not recollect that the thing ever came to pass Just that way. Billy Kelly, national president of the Letter Carriers Association and the most virulent of baseball bugs, sorrowfully ad mits that betting on baseball Is not a business. Billy was a Cincinnati sojourner this week and was among those present at the diamond side when Brooklyn lost to the Reds on Tuesday. He confided that as none of the officials of the association who might be looking for campaign material in the interest of another candidate were present, he had wagered one hat that Brooklyn would win, the said Kelly being a Brooklyn-He. The Superbas lost by 1 to 0.

The last seen of William he was playing the part of the ultimate consumer in a hat store. Cincinnati la much puffed up thus far over the trade of Fromme to the New York Giants for Pitcher Leon Ames. Out' fielder Josh Devore and Inflelder Heinle Groh. The last two are playing regularly and well and Ames has already pitched two swell Games. Ames appears to have taken a new lease on life, Devore Is putting up a first class article of ball in center, ousting such a good man as Marsans, the Cuban, and Groh has supplanted Berghammer at second as the substitute for Dick Egan.

On the returns to date Cincinnati got the better of the deal, except that New York was giving up men it did not need. Klrkpatrlck came near being a hero when he went up as a pinch hitter for Millar In the ninth inning on Wednesday with Smith on first base and the score 1 to 3 in favor of Cincinnati. He hit a fly er's exceptional get the offering. speed enabled him to BOXING BOUTS TONIGHT. East New York A.
