Frank Thrasher, the young Athletic outfielder, has accused Carl Mays of trying to bean him on several occasions and of succeeding on one of them. Thrasher says that he managed to dodge a number that were aimed directly at his head, but that one of them he could not avoid and was severely beaned. Lee Mage made a similar charge against Mays a few weeks ago and by most accounts Mays was guilty.

Ban Johnson, American Jeague boss, is ihe sworn enemy of all such tactics on the ball field and he has declared that he will rid the league of anything of the sort. He has instructed his umpires to keep a sharp eye on anything that might De considered a deliberate effort to bean a player and to banish all twlrlers wlfo are found guilty of such a thing.

Barry points out'that h^has the best behaved and most gentlemanly crew of ball players in the busl ness and that all who say they are using

Brazil will be materially weakened by the enlistment of some twenty boys for military service, but expects to make a good showing in the^meet. Captain 'Adams is expected to win the mile and half-mile, and Smith will be a dangerous man in the dashes, as will Navin fn the broad jump. Loveall, Sommers, Morgan, Currie, Fisher and Treger are qualified to enter the meet and will be good for some points. Brazil's only hope of winning the meet will be tn having their weak events won by the various schools.

Athletic Director Otto F.nglehart will leave th}s week for the O. R. C. camp, at Indianapolis. No provision nas been made for the handling of athletics the rest of the season. ..Soma twenty applications have been made to fill the vacancy, and if Englehart does not return, in all probability Delbert Clements, Wabash college all-around man, will have charge of next year's teams at the Brazil school.

Tom Seaton puzzled the Pirates yesterday- and the Cubs, taking advantage of Grimes' lack of control, had no trouble in winning, 4 to 1. All four of the Chicago-credits were scored in-the second inning, three hits and two walks telling the story. Cooper finished for the losers. In all, the Cubs grabbed off five hits. Seaton yielded but three and pitched shutout ball until the closing chapter.

With Johnny Evers at the helm, due to the absence of George Stalllngs, who was away on a wedding trip, the Braves blanked the Dodgers, 7 to 0, Rudolph baffling the champs at all stages. Evers used a lineup of right-handers against Sherrod Smith, ex-Central southpaw, and got by in great style. Dell finished for the loserS. Hits were nine and five, Boston.

After going for an even dozen days without a victory, the Giants got busy against the Phils yesterday and copoed, 2 to 1. Tesreau held tlie Quakers to four bingles, an error robbing him of a shutout.
