Accuracy andSpetd is Where Hooper Excels
HARIiy HOOPER.
Harry Hooper, who plays right field for the Boston Red Sox, is one of tlio speediest men in baseball and is noted especially for his accuracy in throwing. He has few if any peers in this line of endeavor. Hooper has been labeled a "roamer" for the reason that he covers such a large space of territory. He is a hard and clever batter.
BY CHICAGO FEDERALS
Joe Tinker Trying to Put Through Deal for Three-Fingered Hurler.
CHICAGO, Aug. 22.—Mordecai Brown, once the idol of the Cub fans, will become a member of the Tinx If Manager Tinker can put through a trade for his services. It is understood that in trade for Brownie Tinker has offered Ad Brer.nan, the southpaw, who has been idle most of this season because of a lame arm, and one of the younger hurlers of the local team.
When it was announced that Fielder Jones was to replace Brown as manager at St. Louis the three fingered pitcher declared he would not return to the lanks and work under the former Sox manager. Tinker immediately sounded the St. Louis club officials on the possibility of a trade for the deposed manager. Nc answer has been received, but it is said the S'Loufed leaders merely are waiting for the sanction of Jones before accepting the trade offered by Tinker.
If Brown agrees to come to Chicago part of the $7,500 salary his contract calls for probably will be paid by the Federal league, as Weeghman is not willing to stand the entire expense. If Brown is landed by the Tinx he will be used as relief hurler to pick up games in which some of Tinker's other slabmen get into trouble.
SIEVE HAS TONSILITIS
BAY CITY, Mich., Aug. 22.—Tom Stevenson, star shortstop of the South Bend club, who has Just been sold to the St. Louis Americans, is suffering from tonsilitis, and may not be able 10 participate in the two-game series which opens here today. Steve was unable to play in either Saginaw games and his absence materially weakened the Hcosiers. He was taken ill while enroute to Saginaw.
Jones Would Retain Brown
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 22.—Fielder Jones, former manager of the Chicago American and later president of the Northwestern league, arrived here today and took charge of the St. Louis Federal league. .Tones said he could hope to do no more this season than become acquainted with the members of the team, but thereby would be able to build up a strong team for next year. He said he would try to persuade Mordecai Brown, the deposed manager, to remain with b't. Louis. Brown's attorney now is in Chicago looking after his interests.
Jones did not sign a contract with the local Federals last week as he did not care to do so as long as he was identified with organized baseball. Having resigned the presidency of the Northwestern league, he now will sign a contract in accordance with an agreement made last week.

IWENTY-TWO CARS IN TODAY'S AUTO GRIND
De Palma and Wishart Liked to Lead Way—Ralph Mulford Out.

ELGIN, 111., Aug. 22.—Twenty-two racing automobiles, arlven by the skilled drivers of the world, lined up today for the second 301-mile grind of the two days' race on the Elgin course. The race was a free-for-all for the Elgin trophy.
The number of withdrawals was surprisingly small. Practically all of the drivers who raced the 301-mile event of vesterday were scheduled to start. Ralph Mulford, however, who finished third yesterday, was compelled to withdraw. The frame of his machine was broken as he neared the finish of the race yesterday and repairs could not be made in time for the start.
Speculation among the thousands of automobile enthusiasts at the course was rife as to the winner. Ralph De Palma, winner of yesterday's race, was a favorite with many, while Spencer WiBhart also was picked as a probable winner. He was forced out of yesterday's race after leading for two hundred miles, when his gasoline tank caught fire.
Barney Oldfleld, fourth in yesterday^ grind, also was among the favorites, as was Gil Anderson, who finished second.
The cars were to be sent away two at a time at 11 o'clock.

ELGIN, 111., Aug. 22.—Ralph De Palma, driving a German Mercedes, won the Chicago Automobile club trophy in the first day's contest of the Elgin road races Friday, traversing the 301 miles in 4:05:01.
De I'alma vas pushed all the way by Gil Anderson in a Stutz, and but for a three minutes' penalty for a lost tire the American car would have won the prise.
De Palma set a terrific pace for the entire route, but his margin over Anderson was only forty-four seconds. In winning. De Palma broke the course record for a lap and raised the race mark of 71.5 miles, set by Anderson last year, to 73.6 miles an hour for the 301 mile grind. The fastest lap of the race was the second driven by De Palma, who made the 8.5 miles in 6.06, an average speed of 82.5 miles.
De Palma, Anderson and "Wishart, driving a Mercer, were the favorites before the start of the race. Most of the betting was done on De Palma and Wishart
Giant Castoff Big A 'd to Boston Band
Thrown into discard by John McGraw, often known as the little Napoleon of baseball, Dick Rudolph has more than heaped coals of fire on the head of the Giant manager by his work with the Boston Braves this season. To Rudolph must be given much of the credit for the sensational climb the Braves have nade since June.
Small of stature, Rudolph is not the sort of pitchcr a manager would select as a world-beater. He has piled up a string of ten consecutive victories since July 6, which should be enough to give him a place in the baseball hall of fame for 1914.
Sport writers over the country are saying that Rudolph is the wisest pitcher in baseball, not excepting the great Mathewson. It is said that the secret of his success is the fact that he has made a thorough study of the batters and refuses to throw a ball that they can hit. In his tcr. straight victories Rudolph has allowed the "enemy an average of 2.1 runs per game and the average hits have been 5.4.
A St. Louis writer has taken the trouble to compile some statistics on Rudolph which are as follows:

De Palma Owns Mercedes Which He Drove io Victory
ELGIN, 111., Aug. 22.—Ralph De Palma owns '.he Mercedes which he drove to victory Friday. He paid ?6,000 for it at the Mercedes factory immediately after the grand prix of France, in which the car driven by Louis Wagner was second.
F-e Palma bought the car at the instance of E. C. Patterson, but was so infatuated with its powers that he paid for it himself. True co a promise made before leaving for Europe, he permitted Patterson to enter him in ooth race# nere. De Palma gets all the prize money, there being no agreement between him and Pattert-.on whereby there was to be any division.
Besides the glory, De Palma accumulated 52,4,r)0, which was divided as follows: $2,000 for placing first, $200 for making the fastest lap, and $250 for using a Rudge Whitworth wire wheel.
This Is De Palma's fourth victory in races held over the Elgin course. He began winning in 1912, when he took hotvi thp Elgin national and free-for-

McLoughlin and Bundy Win. SOUTHAMPTON, N. Y.. Aug. ''22.— Rain stopped play in the tennis tournament on the turf courts of the Meadow club here Friday before many of the afternoon's matches had been completed. The important match of the afternoon was in the doubles of Maurice E. McLoughlin and Thomas C. Bundy, the national champions, facing Nathaniel W. Miles and Alfred S. Dabney. The latter were outvolleyed and outsmashed, McLoughlin playing at the top of the game. The Californians won at 0-2, 6-2. At the finish of this match a heavy shower stopped all further play for the day.

John De Palma, brother of Ralph, rode as a driver's mechanician. This is the first time that brotherly love has made them cola borate. They have driven against each other in several races.
Mrs. De Palma saw her husband drive for the first time since Ralph was so severely injured in the grand prize at Milwaukee in 1912.
De Palma's pit work was up to its usual standard. He lost two minutes and twenty-five seconds in three stops. His pit attendants were Jim and Gordon Murdoch, sons of an Indianapolis traction magnate Harry Boyce, of the Boyce Motormeter company, of New York: E. C. Cheney, traveling representative of the Texaco Oil company. E. C.

This Yarn Has Terre Haute in lhre& I League
SOUTH BEND, Aug. 22.—Following the elimination of Springfield from the Central league, leaving the organisation with only five clubs, a movement is on foot for the formation of a new loague, to be composed of Fort Wayne, Grand Rapids and Dayton, of the Central, and South Bend, Saginaw and Bay City, of the Southern Michigan league.
Should it be deemed advisable to make the circuit an eight club organization Jackson and Battle Creek, also of the Southern Michigan league, may be taken in. However, the chances aro that the proposed association will include only nix clubs, for the reason that the league would be much stronger financially than with two weak members to look after.
President James Frank, of the Southern Michigan league, would in all probability be elected president of the organization, although it 1b understood that Louis Heilbroner, of Fort Wayne, president of the Central league, also would be a candidate. Terre Haute and Evansville. It is figured, will find berths in the Threerl league.
Waynes the 'Goats' Now
It now seems as if Fort Wayne has taken the place of the Springfield Reapers as far as the Vets' wins are concerned. It' is known that the Vets have a record against the used-to-be Reapers that will hardly ever be equaled in this league. But now that the Reapers are no more the Vets had to find another team at whose door they could lay the brunt of their attack. After winning from most every team in the league with regularity the Vets picked the Waynes as their next easy prey and have charged on them in the same manner in which they did the Reapers. Up to this time the Vets nave taken eighteen games from the Fort Wayne club, while they have dropped but six. They have won eleven of their games in the Hoosier city, while the remainder of victories have been at Highland park. Three of these losses have been here and as many in Fort Wavne. The record with Springfield was twenty-one wins and two losses. Although the Vets cannot equal this against the Waynes, they are going to make it as near as possible.—Dayton Herald.

The Terre-irs did not get a bingle until the sixth when Gray orashed to left. Vann and Davis got doubles in the later Innings, but neither found their way to the third sack. Spair was tne only visitor to reach the far station, walking in the second, stealing, and advancing on an out.
Smyth beat out a bunt to start the third and raced to third on an lnfleld out at first. An infield out put him over. Atkins walked in the fourth and counted on Martin's long double.
