THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 1SM*.

Up to Monday 65 games had been played in the National league in which .•the issue was settled in either the •jnlnth or extra innings or on the basis -•of 1 to 0. The Cardinals had won eleven of these engagements and so had the Braves, but Iiuggins' men had dropped only seven of these combats,

Awhile Stallings' athletes had let eleven .rpsoape. The Cardinals' percentage in "-the Nerve league, therefore, was .611 the Braves' .500. The club that •.has shown the greatest aptitude for getting the decision in tight games is

Chicago, with a percentage of .714, New ••-York following with .636. The Cardi-

fnals

are third, with .611 the Phillies "fourth, with .555 the Braves fifth, with ..."00 the Pirates and Reds sixth, with .T..353, and the Superbas eighth, with .30S. •. The Cardinals" and the Cubs have won the most games in the ninth inning (five) the Braves are setting the pace in 1 to 0 wins, with four, and the Phillies have taken the greatest number of overtime events, seven. Brooklyn still has to win a 1 to 0 contest and Cincinnati thus far has not registered a vic•vi'tory in an extra-inning affair. St. Louis hasn't been beaten once in the ninth.

The record of the National league

You never can tell when the worm will bite or the rabbit turn and chase the pursuing hound. That is, you might be in doubt as to the aforementioned ••.•circumstances if everything were as ^erratic as baseball, which this year has "presented most astounding surprises. I A recent point worth noting is the 'manner in which the St. Louis Browns ..^effectually have put a. crimp into the '-•pennant chances of the Boston Red Sox, -^following shortly th Boston Nationals' application of the same sort of astringent to the St. Louis Cardinals" prospects..

Trie gait at which the Red Sox have "been traveling, supported by the best -pitching in the world and the top-notch

{the draft or r-ttrchase routes. This ^youngster is easily the class of the i'Ontral league shortstops of this seatson and few who have performed at -•'that position in this circuit for some j- 5 ears have had anything on him. The il.'ttle fellow can go and get 'em and vmgs a ball to first as rapidly as any ..'of them. Baseballers the size of Steil iare generally rated as weaklings at bat :agninst good pitching, but just the op--jposite is the case with the Grand Raplitis shortstop, who has been hitting ^constantly and landing extra base

Iknocks as often as any of the bigger imen in the circuit.

Cub Vet May Hop To Feds

N E W O A 6 a S -insole remaining cog in the original Frank Chance machine, is likely to be 'enrolled with the Federal league soon.

Schulte was indefinitely suspended by Manager O'Day last night, and almost before the words were out of O'Day's mouth Manager Stovall, of the Kansas City Feda, came across the street from '-the hotel where the "outlaws" are stopping and took Schulte in tow for a conference. •v Schulte felt keenly his relegation to the bench for Knisely, who has not yet .,inade a hit, and on meeting O'Day in the hotel lobby last night demanded to know why he had been benched. A ...brief but noisy argument followed and it was terminated by O'Day Informing

Schulte he was suspended indefinitely without pay. Before O'Day returned from the nearby telegraph office where he -went to i"--wire President Thomas of his action

Manager Stovall had Schulte listening to Federal league offers, and it is ex-5-pected the Cub outfielder will jump to the Feds if the inducements are suf- .. flciently strong.

Giants Stand Second In Numbsr of Extra Inning, 1-0 and Successful Ninth Inning Games

Clubs that are pennant possibilities invariably make good showings in ex-••tra-inning games, 1 to 0 battles and contests that are decided in the ninth spasm. That is what veteran baseball nit-n say, and the truth of the remark is shown by the fact that in contests of these varieties the Cubs, Giants and i,Cardinals, now having a three-handed scrap for the National league gonfalon, have been much more successful than the other five teams.

Totals 65 Sweeney Drives 'Em In. Bill Sweeney, of the Cubs, has been the player most prominent in driving in the winning tallies in the tight games In which his team flas participated. He has been on the break It up job four times, his war club bringing victory to Chicago in the ninth inning twice, in the tenth inning once and in the sixteenth inning once. National league players who have delivered hits that have broken up a pair of games are Wilson of the Cardinals, Joseph Kelly of the Pirates, Cravath, Luderus and Lobert of the Phillies, and Doyle of the Giants. The last-named, a Chalmers car winner two seasons ago, uses home runs with which to smash up combats. He hit for the circuit. against "Babe" Adams, of Pittsburgh, on July 17 and thus won a 21 inning game for the Giants, and eleven days earlier he clouted for the full distance in the ninth frame of the game with the Phillies, when his team was two runs behind and when two of his mates were on the bases.

hitting of Tris Speaker, made it seem certain that the crippled Browns would provi- marks for the visitors. Yet the Sox lost three in a row, just when victories might have slipped them a game or so nearer the flying Mackmen.

Even ore unexplainable is the form of the Boston-Cardinals battling this season. Pipe this line of "dope.'1

The Cardinals have won eleven of thirteen games played this year with Brooklyn, while Brooklyn has won thirteen out of sixteen from Boston. Yet the Braves have taken ten out of fifteen from the Cardinals! Chew on that a bit.

Is thero any such thing as "form" in this circular snake-swallowing contest?

STEIL SURE TO GO UP WAYNES SHY SLUGGERS

Harry Martin has surely been having his troubles this season. He hasn't the worst ball club in the Central league, but his club is. shy.where the Ft. Wayne

The appearance of the Waynes in other

years was the signal for some fencebreaking stunts and hard work for the Terre-ir outfielders, but the Waynes of 1914 are just about as weak at the bat as it is possible for a club to be. The outfield is where the hitters are missed. Thef'e are no Tutweilers, Keeners and Del Youngs in the present Ft. Wayne bunch and the rest of the team is not composed of the hitters who can make up for the loss of batting power in the garden. Before Ainsworth was stricken with appendicitis, Martin had a pretty nifty hurling staff in Young, Cramer, Ainsworth, Atkins and Bramble, but "Red's" 'absence has put a lot of extra work on the shoulders of others and the Waynes are not helping their pitchers with the bat. It is unfortunate for Harry Martin that he should have such a weak team his first year out, but Harry has the noodle and the pepper and by next season should be delivering the goods. All managers look about alike when the playing material is not there.

EVAS LOSE MATTHEWS

A year ago Matty Matthews, at present guardian of the second sack on the Evansville club, was offered to almost ovtry club in the Central league only to be turned down until it came Bvansville's turn. Punch Knoll was hard up for ball players at that time and took on the infielder simply to fill in. Now Knoll and the Evansville owners are thanking their lucky stars because they decided to give the Denver castoff a tryout, for the little fellow is going to* net the Puncher management some good hard cash before the season is over.

Matthews played fair ball last summer, but opened up like a world beater this season and has been traveling at a rc.pid clip ever sincc. Next to Fitter.v and Grefe no member of the Evansville club has done more tc- keep the Punchers up there in the running than the little recond sacker. He has b«en a whale on the defense and has directed the infield's play in faultless fashion. He is not a long distance slugger, but he flips in an extra base knock occasionally, and bettor still, has been hitting at a steady clip all summer and is dangerous any timo there are men on ahead of him. He Is almost certain to advance.

International Sport Kilted By The War

War gets credit for a number )f casualties that will not be gazetted in the military bulletins. Chief among these is the crippling of international sports, for the year 1914 at any rate. Among the events that figure to be impossible in view of present conditions arc:

The America cup yacht race, already called off by Sir Thomas LIpton. The Harmsworth motor boat race for the world's championship.

Several international fights, including one between Young Ahearne and Georges Carpentier, already called off.

The effort of the British runner, Ap-r-legarth, to capture the sprint title at the Baltimore A. A. U. championships.

The attempt of the American, Alfred Brcwn, to swim the English channel, August 26.

Remote possibilities also include the calling off, next year, of the polo championships and the abandonment of the Berlin Olympic games of 1916. It is figured that Europe will not bo in a humor to take up sports very soon after the shock of" continental war.

Carpentier A Real lighter

Georges Carpe^'.ler is probably the first fighter of lampionship caliber to enlist for real fighting- at the front. Carpentier, on the French reserve list, has already joined his regiment and It may be the end of his ring career. Death, a wound, disease, injury—any number of war possibilities may end his career right at its hem-lit.

For Carpentier, although he has been battling for seven years through every class from the bantamweight up, is only 20 years of age, his majority being due next January.

Carpentier is today one of the cleverest men in the world with his fists, and years were expectcd to add power and weight sufficient to make him a real champion among 1he men of giant stature and bulk. His loss would cause deep regret in France, whore he is more popular by far than was John L. Sullivan in his palmiest day. For lie's the guy that beat old John Bull at John's own game—la boxe.

In Our Set

here Is so much blood being spilled abroad that it seems to have taken the fight out of Ban Johnson, Davey Fultz and a few other of our noted warriors. However, it hasn't taken the fight out of our "white hopes." You can't subtract something from nothing, you know.

CKarlejf Herzog, of Cincinnati, Ohio, is worried. Germany has sent out a call for reservists. If all of them answer Charles won't have anything left of his club but the water cooler.

But there ought to be consolation for Charles in knowing that Garry Herrmann also might answer the call.

And some of the directors, too.

Joe Birmingham, of the Naps, is quite willing to trade Joe Jackson, "if I get my price." In other words, Joe will stay with the Naps.

'Tain't no use to heckle the umpires, Old Johnny McGraw did say— "You can't gain nuttin by kickin' 'Cept to get chased from the fray, Whereupon. John did heckle the umpires.

And quickly sped on his way.

Here's good news for the "white hopes"—Gunboat Smith, especially: Georges Carpentier has joined the French army.

But the "hopes" needn't feel too elated—Georges' last name isn't Jeffries. He may come back.

"I Have Always Tried"—Lajoie

"I hpve always played the game the best I know how. "I have always given the best that is in me."

The words are those of Napoleon Lajoie in answer to those who insinuate that he hasn't played Ihe best baseball of which he is capable, because of bad feeling between himsulf and Joe Birmingham, boss of the Naps. The insinuations cut deeply into the heart of the big Frenchman. "I have never laid down in a baseball game,'' says Nap Lujoio. "I have always gone out on the held and played as well as I could. "I don't know whether I would consent to go to another team or not. I know nothing about waivers being asked on me, but I do know that I always played the best baseball I could for Cleveland."

That old 7-11 combination proved fatal to the Vets yesterday, the Waynes scoring seven runs on eleven bingles and winning, 7 to 6.

All four of the losing clubs in the National yesterday were shut out.

Held helpless before Leonard, the Browns contributed a game to th2 Red Sox yesterday, 6 to 0. The losers got but five safeties.

"Whitey" Doak, Central league graduate, blanked the Dodgers yesterday, 4 to 0. The big fiinger is one of the leading National hurlers this season.

Getting to three Tiger twirlers for a total of twenty-two biffs, the Yanks bad no trouble in disposing of the Tigers yesterday, 14 to 4. Birdie Orr, who is leading the American league in clouting, slapped out four hits in five times up.

BLACK SOX FORFEIT TO TERMS, 9-0

Manager Jones Takes Team Off Field So As to Catch a Train.

By Ralph H. White.

With the Terre-irs and Black Sox tied up at the end of the tenth, 2 to 2, Manager Jones, of the visitors, yesterday took his team off the field, thereby forfeiting the final contest of the series, 9 to 0. The move was made so tnat the Sox could catch a late afternoon rattler for Grand Rapids, where the club is scheduled to oppose the world's champion Athletics Thursday afternoon.

The farewell setto was started thirty minutes early, so that the visitors could make the said drain, but the rival leaders did not figure on an overtime combat, with the result that the decision was in doubt when Manager Jones decided it was time for a rapid dash to the Union station. He appealed to Umpire Harry Geisel to call the game, thoreby escaping the forfeit, but the indicator handler could not accommodate him. with the result that the new boss of the Central champs called his men together and made a run for the bus. Then Umps Gei.-iol announced that the game had been forfeited by Grand Rapids, 9 to 0.

Until the unexpected finale, the teams had battled desperately for undisputed possession of third place with nothing to choose betw een them when the regulation route had been traversed. As a matter of fact, the enemy was held without a credit, until the ninth, when they pushed over their two tallies. Previous to that session Leonard Madden was immense, and in all fairness to the southpaw it wasn't altogether his fault that the game was finally decided by the forfeit route. A little application of "safety first" would have prevented the scoring of the knotting run, but all is overlooked Inasmuch as the Terre-irs were declared the victors 9 to 0.

The win gives Quinlan's athletes a clear right to third place, but as the Vets are the next aggregation to be met, the pack is held to have a scrap on its hands to retain its present position.

How the runs were made: Terre-lra. Fourth inning—Vann opened with the nrst of two doubles and moved to third on Davis' blow after Spair had skied out. Anderson put the slugging backstop over with a swat to right. Three hits, one run.

Fifth inning—With one do .n, Sheenan was safe on an error and advanced to second on Kyle's infield out. Vann exploded his second double, Sheehan counting. One hit, one run.

Rapids.

Ninth Inning—Marshall singled to 'I'&ht and dashed to third when Jones Pil

cated the blow

Spair, instead of

holding the Rapids' boss on first, hurled wide to third in an effort to nip Marshall, who scored when the ball rolled to the stand. Jones brought up at third on the heave and went over when Thompson singled over short Three hits, two runs.

Casual Comment

Evidenlly the announcement that he had been sold to the majors has upset Fittery, the Eva southpaw. He was touched up for sixteen hits by the Reapers yesterday.

Bob Bescher tore off half of the lilts secured by the Giants against the Cuts yesterday and scored two of the three runs. In all. the ex-Red got three wallops, or.u going for three bases.

With Tesreau whizzing 'em by, the Cubs got but thre-3 hits in yesterday's shut out defeat.

When J. Collins dropped an easy flv ball yesterday in the ninth he paved thp way for a rally by the Athletics which cost the Sox, 7 to 4. The winners counted five runs in the final spurt.

Walter Johnson was dragged down to a 3 to 2 defeat by Ihe Naps yesterday, losing out in the ninth. Joe Jackson took a liking to Walter's curves, cracking out three hit3, one a double.

Joe Connelly, an ex-Terre-lr, exploded a double against the Pirates yesterday and scored one of the four runs made by the Braves, who. incidentally, white washed the Pirates, thanks to James' stellar pitching.

Firing a lot of big guns in the seventh, the Phillies chased home five runs, downing the Reds, 5 to 0.

The Terre-irs will rest Friday, opening at Dayton Saturday. A double bill wi,th the Vets will be staged Sunday.

The fans were treated to a new brand of rooting by some gent who admitted he came from Illinois. His remarks went well for a time, but at the finish the fans were "riding" him In an effort to hush his chatter.
