NICK CULLOP, the left handed pitcher of the Yankees, Is leading the
American league twirlers. Nick has won more games than any other
American league twirler this season. If for no other reason than that
he was responsible for Colonel Ituppert and Captnln Huston purchas
ing Cullop, Lee Magee deserves a vote of thanks from New York fandom. It
was on his recommendation that the Yankee owners went out and bought the
southpaw, although some advised against It. Magee was street on Cullop last
year In the Federal league. He had Nick down at Brown's Wells with the
Brooklyn Federate’ for awhile and hollered murder when Kansas City re
claimed him. Lee always maintained that Cullop was the best pitcher In the
outlaw circuit. Nick's record in that league and his work the past spring for
the Yankees prove rather conclusively Magee was right. Nick was rather wild
in’the spring. Donovan was patient with him and waited awhile before ask
ing the southpaw to take his regular turn In the box. Since Ills first start Cul
lop has been the sensation of the American league. He Is leading the league's
hurlers now. He has done more than any one to keep the Y’nnkees at the front.

5 Only Pitcher Who Has Stayed In Big
Leagues Since Start of Circuit.
S With the opening of this season's

3 and only one is doing duty in the Arnet

jj Plank is the sole survivor of that grand
= old squad of hurlers. the last of the
5 Mohicans, the one lone twirler left of
a that brilliant galaxy of moundsmeu

a ing its infantile years,
a Outside of Eddie Plank just two

5 are George D. Wiltse and Joe McGlu

“SWIPE” THE FOUL BALLS. ;
Fans In Two American League Cities
Pilfer Them.
Only in two American league cities
do fans steal the baseballs that are
fouled into the grand stands and
bleachers, says a sporting writer. One
city is St. Louis, the other New York.
It is difficult to account for this pet- |
ty thievery. Presumably a man who !
would rather go to Jail than filch a
i dime from a neighbor has no com- I
punctions whatever about uppropriat- j
ing a league baseball that is worth ten j
times a dime.
The cost of the balls lost to grand
stand spectators in the course of a
season in New York Is large.
The whole thing seems to simmer
down to the assumption tlwt the
world likes to fool a policeman, par
ticularly if he is a special officer. The
Imbecility of a sane citizen making
away with a baseball that doesn't be
long to him is only equaled by the
ludicrous spectacle of a special officer
trying to recover tL

JAPAN AFTER TENNIS HONORS.
Will Send Two Stare to Compete In
American ChampionaHipe.
For the first time In the history of
International lawn tennis the far east
will make a bid for premier honors
this autumn when the Japanese racket j
stars, K. Kumugal and H. Mlkaml, ap- [
pear In the American championship
touniament at Forest Hills. N. Y., late
In August. These two leading tennis
players of the orient are already on
their way to this country for a three
months’ campaign on the United States
courts, and their Invasion will be
awaited with great Interest by all fol
lowers of tennis, since their records
Indicate that both play a game which
ranks them with the leading tennis ex
perts of this country. *
While the complete Itinerary of the J
Japanese players will not be known £
until they reach the Pacific coast, it Is •
certain that they will proceed eastward g
by easy stages, playing at the leading j
clubs In exhibition and tournament i
matches as the occasion offers. San E
Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and \
Pittsburgh and New York will be given ]
»u opportunity to see the Japanese In *
jetton on the courts before the na
tional championships, and after the i
titular tournament Kumagal and Mika- (
mi return to the Pacific coast by anoth- 5
;r route, playing occasional matches c
prior to embarking for Japan.
Apparently this will be the only In- «
vaslon of foreign athletes during the G
coming season and because of the [;
prominence and ability of the Japa G
lose should attract far more than [:
isual attention to the leading court G
ournaments of the summer, since both <!
Kumagal and Mikaml have several G
:lmes demonstrated their ,.'>Hlty to Jj
jold their own across the rft with the 5
unking players of the United States. c
