NEHF BAFFLES EM IN ONE-SIDED SETTO

Holds League Leaders to Seven Blows While Comrades Maul Strommel for Ten.

By Ralph H. White.

What promised to be a pretty pitching duel between Art Nehf (or our boys and Phil Stremmel for'the Vets yesterday was turned Into a slaughter in the fifth, when the Terre-lra went on a hitting apree. When the pack had finally been halted the league leaders were trailing, 8 to 1, which was the final count at the finish, as Qulnlan's climbers had enough and the visitors were helpless before the local aouth|aw.

Nehf hurled In his usual good form, holding the enemy to seven hits, scattered through six innings. He was invincible in every round except the second, in which Meister ana Gharrlty bunched singles for the lone credit chalked up against the Rose Poly graduate. In several tight places, Nehf was always oapable of pulling out. In addition, his comrades afforded him abl support, and after the fifth inning cannonading the top notchers did not have a lookln.

A hint as to what was to happen waa given those present in the first inning, when clean clubbing, which was featured by a triple by Vann, netted the pack two tallies. But the heavy bombardment did not occur until four frtmN later, when five wallops, three of which were good for an extra bag, produced a cluster of five markers. In all, Stremmel was found for ten blngles, half of which were of the extra Due variety.

The Terre-ir triumph was the second straight at the expense of the Vets, and Qulnlan's men will make every effort to make it a clean sweep of the series at the east side pasture this afternoon. Matteson or Cantwell will be the fireljne expert.

How the runs were scored: Terre-lra. First inning—With two down, Kyle beat out the first of two bunts and promptly pilfered second. Vann weighed In with a triple to left, Andy crossing. Spalr then shot a single to right, Vann Jogging over. Three hits, two runs.

Fifth Inning—Davis connected and Anderson was safe when demons, In an effort *o touch off a double play, booted an easy chance. Qutnlan was hit on the wrist by a wild heave, filling the bases. Nehf fouled out, but Gray exploded a double to left, DavlB and Anderson counting. Sheehan followed with a second two-bagger, Quinlan and Gray racing home. Kyle beat out his second infield tap, Sheehan advancing to third. Vann was an infield victim, Sheehan registering. Spair then Jolted a double to the left field fence, Kyle breezing arcund. Five hits, six luns.

Vet's.

Second inning—Meister opened with a sharp single to left and moved ahead on Sykes' out, Anderson unassisted. Gharrlty poked safely to center, Meister scoring. Two hits, one run.

Dillon Will Battle Chip in September

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Aug. 1.—Jack Dillon yesterday was offered and accepted a match with the winner of the Chip-Petroskey fight and, consequently, will meet Chip in a twenty-round battle in San Francisco In September. Dillon has licked Chip nine times, but has never scored a knockout over him.

Kyle's bunt in the first was a beauty over Stremmel's dome. He promptly stole second and rode home on Vann's triple.

Vann's triple was a screaming liner ever third. Spencer had to hurry to hold Jack at the far station.

Last chance to see the Vets today. Matteson or Cantwell will twirl for the pack.

The Terre-lrs will oppose the Maroons at Shelburn, Ind., August 6. That date Is open in the Central league.

TIMELY HITTING WINS SHEEHANTOPS LEAGUE

PUNCH KNOLL OUSTED FROM BAT LEADERSHIP

Terre-ir Second Backer Wallops Way To Top In Central League With .347 Average.

By Ralph H. Wttlte.

Hats off to Tommy Sheehan, leading swat expert of the Central league! Exploding 136 hits in 892 times at bat, the Terre-ir second sacker has assumed the lead in the Central league swat race, ousting Punch Knoll from the lofty perch, a position the Eva general has monopolized since the very start of the season. Tommy's average ts .347, up and Including Saturday's lop-sided victory over the Vets. Figures compiled by President Hellbroner and given out for publication today give' Sheehan a mark of .333, but the official batch of averages do not include the games since last Thursday. Since then the little inftelder has mauled the agate at a great clip and has boosted his figure 14 points.

But Sheehan isn't the only Terre-ir to forge ahead of Knoll. Tom Cantwell with an average of .338 has climbed Into second place, ten points better than Punch, who has a mark of .828. Since Hellbroner's figures were compiled the Eva leader has fallen oft and unless he braces it is likely he will go even lower.

Boss Qulnlan is the third member of the Terre-lr pack to retain a berth in the "charmed circle," enjoying a mark of .302. Larry has knocked out 84 hits In 278 times at bat. Spalr with .288 ranks fourth with Kyle and Anderson t.led for fifth with .281. As a whole, the pack has picked up In its hitting and as a result tn« team has made itself a real contender for a first division berth. The team average is .278.

The average of the Terre-lrs, up and including Saturday's contest, are as follows:

Name. A.B. H. Aver. Sheehan 892 136 .347 Cantwell 93 31 .333 Qulnlan 278 84 .302 Siialr 83 24 .288 Kyle 802 85 .281 Anderson 884 108 .281 Vann 837 93 .276 Davis 174 47 .270 Matteson 67 16 .289 Gray 894 91 .231 Madden 42 8 .190 Nehf 48 7 .165 Fisher 117 19 .162 Miller 27 2 .074

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 1.—Fight fans today generally commended the action of Referee Toby Irwin in awarding to George Chip the decision at the end of twenty rounds of fighting with Sailor Petroskey last night. Chip tried for ten rounds to land a knockout, but couldn't. After the fllteenth his steam seemed to depart, while Petroskey was coming stronger at the finish. Chip scored a knockdown In the thirteenth.

GROWLS

back to the fcnce and pulled In Melster's terrific slam.

A fast double play, Sheehan to Anderson, put the Vets down and out in the fourth. Gharrity cracked sharply to Sheehan, who tagged Meister on the line and then, pegged the batsman out at first.

The pack batted around in the big fifth frame. Davis started and finished it.

Two straight over the league leaders.

Watch those Terre-irs climb! Coach Wann, of Wiley high, acted as chief rooter. His remarks made even Fhil Stremmel smile.

Four Clubs After Hurler.

Four major league clubs—Detroit, Chicago and Cleveland In the American league, and Pittsburgh in the National —8re after George Cunningham, pitcher of the Duluth Northern league club.

Mitchell is about the only Nap filnger who can cop. He has won his last two starts, yesterday blanking the Yanks, 7 to 0.

Whitted, a former Card, tumbled his teammates down to a ten-Inning defeat yesterday when ho singled in the first extra round. And he was pinch hitting, at that.

The White Sox took a two-run lead or. the Red Sox yesterday, but were trailing by two runs at the finish. Benz held the victors to four blows, poor support bringing about his downfall.

Big Jeff Pffc'f^r, a former Central Kr.id, was right yesterday and let the Pirates down with one hit in the first of two Brooklyn triumphs.

The Browns booted six chances against the Athletics Saturday, and as the Mackmen tore off twelve hits In addition it Is not hard to guess the final result. The score was 9 to 6.
