GnKKNSBORO, N. April One need not bo hrvnnd the Prospect Ta-rade grounds to Fee the kind of baseball the Brooklyn Superbas and New York Yankees have been playing to rtare. The three tamps have been free bitting and free booting affairs, with the Worlds champions doing moat of the former and our boys ex -elling wi'h the boots. As the series now stands, the ankees lead with two straigh: victories anil one tie. Unless there is a hipi-er uplift In the Superba camp that tie will be the best they can hope to pet.

For a few minutes at Knoxville yesterday It looked as If the Superbas might even up the series. That was in the seventh inning, when they overcame a two-run lead by scoring seven tallies to forge ahead by five. The Lead in Billiard Play; Horem ans Is Not Nervous By MORKIS D. BBOWN. WILLIE HOPPK did no more than preserve a slight lead in his first block of BOO points with Edouard Horemans of Belgium last night in the Grand Ballroom of the Pennsylvania.

Hoppe scored 500, whereas the challenger for the world's 18-2 balkline billiard championship tallied 424. The closeness of the match gives Horemans an excellent chance to come through in the two succeeding blocks of 600 which will be played tonight and tomorrow night. Playing conditions were apparently not conducive to good billiards. Bumpy balls and a fast, slippery German cloth did not make for good runs or averages. Hoppe and Horemans alike cast the technique of the game to the winds in the desire to count.

They knew the uncertainty of position play and did not strive to leave the balls Worse and More of It. -l) COOlPtPtl DLiCA-re Shot- Y'anks reduced this to one by rolling up four in the eighth and made it rout with ten counters and ten jhits In the ninth. All told the Yankees piled up 24 bits for a total of 31) bases, which sundry errors and -''sses pave them 20 runs to 12 for the Superbas. Most of the hits and runs were made voff Leo Dlekerman, -who, however, ring-tit have repeated bis splendid performanee In the first (fame of the series at Nashville had he received airtight support. 1 lake Playing; on A Marble Diamond.

The Superbas used Bp four Yankee pitchers In accumulating their round dozen tallies off 16 hits, the latter Including a homer and a triple by Zack Wheat and a triple and a double by Zack Taylor. Old cap Wheat charged the long hitting on cotn sides to the hard surface ar Caswell Park, likening It to Dimard table without the cloth s-covered marble. Of course, Zack's explanation does not auuue- to Babe Ruth's two Jiomers.

Hendrlck had the unusual experience of pinch hitting for Pat Olsen and then for in the ninth, getting a homer for Olsen and a single for himself. Grimes Twirls His First Game. The rift In the cloud for Brooklyn was the fact that Grimes had arrived. Rurlelgh made his first start. In any game this spring and held the slugging champs down to eight hits and four runs in five Innings.

Ills big feat was the fanning of Babe Ruth with the bases lull In the fourth. Burleigh left the game with the score tied. I I independent of all the others, and themselves out of the way of the fingers necessary for the shot. Long billiard game is a little awed by the antics of the cue ball performing to the will of the "Wizard of the Cue," and in the fascination is apt to overlook a pair of the most wonderful hands In the world. Those hands combine all the qualities of all of the aforementioned mitts.

Tonight, when the balls have become acclimated to the atmospheric conditions and the cloth has become stretched and thus made slower, better billiards may be expected. In fact, in the last few innings of the first session the cloth seemed somewhat slower and the ivoriea appeared to have softened Just enough to give the right click when they came together.

Gave Hoppe a Battle. Horemans gave Hopple a stiff tilt "all the way through the contest, so tnat not until the very last was the winner apparent. The Belgian seemed a greatly changed player. Horemans won the bank by a narrow margin, and selected the white His third shot was a drive, which he calculated poorly, with the result that he was left a twice-tablt oraw. He fouled the cue ball, which, under the rules, gave 1 point to Hoppe.

Hoppe advanced to a lead of 23 points in the first inning, missing out when he failed to go deep enough into the corner. Horemans missed and received a measly 1 in his second and third innings, while Hoppe fared slightly better, getting a 3 and a clean miss. In the fourth inning Horemans crept up a trifle when he clicked off 13 and Hoppe made an inexcusable bad miss after making 1 In the fourth inning, failing on a long reach with, his left hand. Horemans seemed to be immensely oool and collected, and did not exhibit his nervous little mannerisms which have characterized his former games and brought him nearly aa much fame as his billiards. It was noticed, also, that he is using the cushions much more than in other games.

When he first came to this country he went to a cushion only on the rarest occasions. His style of play is conforming more and more to the American standard. Cannot Gauge the Table. In the eighth inning made a pretty little one-cushion shot for his 38th count, but ran into a most unfortunate lineup. A long, unsuc cessful kisa shot retired him.

He scored 3 in the following inning, which gave him a total score of 80 in nine innings, while Horemans had 70 in nine innings. Up to that point neither player seemed to be able to gaugo the speed of the table. Hoppe appeared to be listless and lacking in the pep which was so vital a part of his previous games. In going around the table, following bis shots, he did not proceed in the same workmanlike manner which i Last half of third inning. Score 0 to 0.

None out. Runners on flrBt ml second. Where should the shortstop play to be of greatest service to liis cinb? The shortstop should play a few feet from second base so he can prevent the base-runner there from taking too big a lead toward third. This puts him in a position to take throws from any of the infielders on bunts and permits the second baseman to play over toward right field so he can cover first if necessary, should a bunt pull in the pitcher and first baseman. This position of the shortstop enables him to catch the runner off second if the pitcher or catcher throws the ball to him.

For this purpose the shortstop has signals arranged with both pitcher and catcher for either to throw to him should the runner take too big a lead. You'll notice in a good many big league games that pitchers and catchers peg a good many balls to the shortstop at second under these conditions even when the runner isn't caught off the base. The reason Is they try to make him shorten hU lead toward third. That often means cutting off a run at the plate if a hit follows. Incidentally as you'll notice in these short talks the shortstop cov.

ers more ground than any other in-fielder in a baseball game. Frank Frischv Tells Part inj Brains Play has been hts usual mien. It might even appear that he was holding Horemans cheaply. That, of course, is not Hoppe's way, as he always tries to play his best and never lets up. But it is apparent that nib smooth, rhythmic stroke Is lacking.

The audience seemed to be wondering last night when the playeia would begin to start some action. Ten clicks per inning seemed to op the limit of the players. In tho 15th inning Horemans held a slight advantage of 163 to 168 over Hoppe. And in the two following innings Hoppe only Jumped his score in points, which gave him less than an average of ten. The remainder of the 86 innings did not show very much improve, ment over the' early stanzas, although' Hoppe got his high run of 83 in the 20th and Horemans his best turn of 75 in the 31st frame.

The other notable scores of Hoppe ivere 66 in the 26th inning, 48 in the 30th inning. 38 in the 8th, 32 in the 11th. 35 in the 33d and an unfinished string of 87 at the end. Edouard-Horemans had runs of 29 in the 10th. 48 in thfc 14th, 49 in the 19th and 23d and 32 in the 33d.

Takes Lead in 33d Frame. Willie Hoppe was in the lead up the 7th inning, when he fell behind Horemans, who stayed in fron' for one frame. Hoppe led for two -stanzas and the pair divided honors about evenly until the 33d inning, when the champion went into' an undisputed advantage. The averages for the two players how that they did not have much open water between them. Hoppe averaed 13 32-36 to finish his game, and for 424 points Horemans averaged 11 28-36.

Each man had eight clean misses when he did not register a point in the scoring column. Perhaps tonight there will be a different story to tell when Mr. Horemans. champion of Belgium, meets Mr. Hoppe, champion of America and the world.

Horemans showed confidence in the first block. It was the kind of confidence which smiles at mistakes. Only once'did he make an impatient little grimace and then he nally had good occasion to do so. Stealing- Hoppe's famous stuff, he even took quite an animated interest in the opponent's play and seemed to appreciate the nice shots. He has not always held such a charitable attitude towards the men he has been playing.

Ifuggins was suffering from an excess of lrgal talent. And strangely enough organized baseball, rerog- nizing the need of a judicial mind to take the place of the much abused nationat commission and straighten out some of the legal tangles of the game, appointed the famous Judge Landls as baseball high commissioner.

Tenn. Both disagree with the recent remarks of a certain college authority that baseball was losing favor with the student body on account of its professional tinge. Lane, undecided In his movements when both ba.se-ball and the law summoned, was influenced in turning "pro" largely by the advice of hi.s friends, who figured that a few years In the professional ranks would widen hts scope and in the md help him In the legal profess; Lefler remains in the game because ho was a real star at college, and.

to old timers. He billed himself when we knew him as the "105-pound champion of the world," and he was all of that, but he often boxed aa a bantam. Murphy, like Jimmy Wilde, was not a boy prodigy. He was a perfect specimen of a little man, who had reached maturity, and made 105 pounds because that was his legitimate, fighting weight, as it was the weight of Wilde. Erankie Mason, the Western flyweight, was another perfect little man.

THE GREA TEST PLA I EVER SA By GEORGE DAUSS Veteran Pitcher of Detroit Tigers One of the greatest bits of base-running I ever saw great because it required grim courage to make it was engineered some 10 years ago by Eddie Collins, then with the Philadelphia Athletics.

The Mackmen were in the last year of their pennant-winning career. Toward the end of the season Collins had a badly scraped leg that was very painful. However, he kept his plight from Mack because he wanted to stick in the game. Several times he came off the field with the blood soaking through the bandage, but he would not quit. We were playing the Athletics, and the score was tied in the ninth Inning.

Collins was on third, with one out, and Jack Barry at bat. Barry pushed a tricky infield grounder to Owen Bush, our shortstop, and Bush cut a fast throw to the plate. Collins was determined to score that winning run. He tore in with the greatest speed of which he was capable, but it "was apparent that the play was going to be awfully, awfully close. He was handicapped by that aching, painful leg of his, but he didn't spare it in the least.

Ten feet from the plate he flung himself forward in a. terrific slide that enabled him to beat Bush's throw by scant Inches. white he got to his feet, and walked off the field. I saw him the clubhouse afterward. The bandage had been torn off in the slide, and that raw hurt bleeding and ugly looking.

Collins knew exactly what, he would suffer hy making that slide! but his determination to win overrode whatever qualms the flesh had siatn-t injury. Seems to me that a play of that sort Isn't out of place among the great ones, even though the spectators, not knowing the Ins de of the matter, thought it merely a well-executed bit work.
