At the end of the day the point score among: the leaders was: United States, 102; Finland', 46; Sweden, 27; England. 24. New additions to the casualty list today swept aside points that practically had been counted in tbe American column. Worst of these was an injury to Pat McDonald’s hand. The big New York traffic cop was unable to do better than fourth in the shotput. William Plant of New Y'ork was forced to withdraw from the 10,000-meter walk when he strained a groin. The Injury to Sol Butler in his attempt to qualify for the broad jump probably deprived America of first plate in that event, which was taken by a Swede. There was some good news for the athletes, however, when Joie Ray, the Chicago distance runner, qualified for the 1,500-meter run. Twelve events have now b-en finished and Americans have landed In front in one-third of them.

Ryan of the Loughlin Lyceum, New York, won the sixteen-pound hammer throw with a toss of 52.83 meters. B. B. Bennett of Chicago was second, and Matt McGrath, New York Athletic club, finished fourth. Ryan’s hammer toss was conaiderably under the record. YANK FAILS IN SHOTPUT. Pat McDonald of the New York Athletic club took a bad beating in the shotpnt. The event was won by Ville ot Finland, with Porolla, a countryman, second. H. D. Llversedge of the navy saved a few points for the American team when he finished third.

Large Crowd Sees Clever Ring Show Staged at Speedway Saylor and Abel in Fast TenRound Feature on Soldier Card.

As proof that Indianapolis wants boxing, approximately 5,000 persons made their way to the Speedway aviation depot last night via touring car, street car and army truck to witness the show staged for the benefit of the Enlisted Men’s club. Tbe crowd was treated to one of the most attractive shows that has been staged in Indianapolis for some time, the card including a battle royal, several slam-bang bouts between soldier glove artists and a clever ten-round exhibition between Jakie Abel, claimant of the welterweight championship of the south, and Mllburn Saylor, local welter. Abel, who has battled the best fighters of his weight in the country, offered a pretty exhibition of speed and cleverness last night and ont-classed Saylor in the majority of rounds, but the Indianapolis boxer was in there mixing things up ail the way and won several hearty rounds of applause for his willingness to go. Saylor demonstrated his famous “Kangaroo punch’’ at every opportunity and there were times when things became interesting enough to bring the ringsiders to their feet. Tony Dalton of Indianapolis stopped Young Sweeney of Peoria, 111., in the third round of their scheduled sixround bout. These boys traveled a fast clip until Sweeney "dropped." Prior to the Saylor-Abel go, five soldiers took the ring for a battle royal, which resulted In a real funfest. Two of these gladiators were put to sleep early, but Lieut. Stewart had to call things even among the remaining three to get them out of the ring after fifteen minutes of fast nction. The results of the other events on the card follow: Private Sendibald stopped Private ,Engalls in the second round of their scheduled three-round bout; Private Hopper slipped Private Doffeni a sleep package in the second round of their scheduled three-round scrap; Private Henry knocked out Fred Boots, civilian, in the second round of a scheduled fourround battle, and then finished Private Sparks in one round; Privates Gardner and Jones fought three fast rounds to a draw, and Privates Ackerman and Holland divided the honors in a three-round scrap.

Tbe Newport Casino tournament was the first In which the present DaTis cup men competed since their return from Europe. In this meet all of them, with the exception of Tilden, who was not entered. were defeated. Their only excuse was that they were not fully recuperated from their European tour. The following matches were regarded as the principal ones on today's schedule: Second Round—Johnston and Griffin vs. Fenno. and Ingraham, Hayes and Burdick vs. Biddle and Pell. Williams and Harte vs. Niles and Dabney. Third Round—Alexander and Voshell vs. Tilden and Garland. MATCH LASTS FOUR HOURS. Yesterday's feature match was a fiveset affair which lasted four hours, between Davis and Roberts of California n-nd Mathey and Washburn of New York. The California pair proved the strongest in the hard test and won with scores of 6-3, 10-12, 6-4, 4-6, 6-3. This was one of the most bitterly contested matches ever played in the United States. William M. Johnston, United States ! champion, gained permanent posession of the Longwood bowl when he defeated Nathaniel Niles of Boston. 6-4. 6-0, 6-0, in the challenge round of the Longwood tournament yesterday.

League Officials Act to Prevent Strike Move Over ‘Bean Ball’ Charge

NEW YORK, Ang. 18—Officials of organized baseball today were planning to prevent carrying out of the reported threat of Boston and Detroit players to take action In reprisal against Carl Mayp, Yankee pitcher, as a result of the death of Ray Chapman, whose skull was fractured by a ball pitched by Mays. Members of the Washington and St. Louis teams of the American league were also reported to be considering a “strike” in protest against Mays’ pitching. It was believed the four protesting teams might appeal to other American league clubs to join in the threatened “strike.” Mays was exonerated by local authorities when he told the district attorney’s office details of the accident to Chapman which resulted in the shortstop’s death. Mays said he had pitched a fast straight ball aimed for the Inside of the plate with no intention of hitting the player. He said he looked at the ball after the accident and found that It was slightly roughened on one side! He showed the ball to the umpire, he said, and called the umpire’s attention to the spot. He said the roughening probably caused Chapman's death, as It made the ball “sail,’’ or take a freakish jump which ths man throwing or the batter watching would not expect. TO CONFER WITH MANAGER. BOSTON. Aug. 18.—A decision to consult Manager Speaker of the Cleveland Americans before taking any action toward asking that Carl Mays, pitcher of the New York team be barred from fu--ther participation In organized baseball, was reached by members of the Boston and Detroit teams after a meeting Tuesday. Several of the players expressed the opinion that some move of this kind should be made as a result of the death of Ray Chapman.

MAYS ASSERTS DEATH THROW ONLY ORDINARY Did Not Aim at Chapman, He Says, and Desires to Convince Critics. WILL REMAIN IN GAME BY H. C. HAMILTON, International News Correspondent. NEW YORK, Aug. 18.—Grief-stricken Carl Mays declared here today he will face accusations that he Is a “bean ball” pitcher on the diamond. The fact that Shortstop Ray Chapman of Cleveland died from injuries he received when struck by a ball pitched by Mays will not keep the Yankee star out of the game. Mays, a college graduate, Intelligent, made a calm analysis of his own case. “Any man who believes a piicher deliberately would throw a ball at another’s head In a ball game is foolish,” he said. “Even if such a thing were done it is difficult for me to see how that pitcher could believe be would hit the man at whom he was aiming. “I know, and so does any one who gives the matter serious thought, that poor Chapman was killed because he didn’t get out of tbe way of the bail that was practically certain to hit him. “He crowded the plate. By standing close he made me pitch In a narrow space. The ball that hit him was a fast one, not a curve. A slight move would have saved Chapman. "My grief over the accident Is great, but It Is something that could not be helped. I intend to .emain in baseball and show the fans that things which i have been said about me are either malicious or ill advised." Whether anew baseball war will develop from the accident, probably will become known today, when players of the Detroit and Boston clubs discuss further their Intimation that they would ask Ban Johnson, president of the American league, to bar Mays from baseball. It is known here that the New York club will go the lllmt to back Mays against any action that may be taken. Officials of the club are convinced that Mays has been unusually unfortunate and are not going to allow this incident to force him from the game if they can prevent. Cleveland ball players, to a man, absolve Mays from blame. There are a few who have taken the occasion to recall that Mays has been charged In the past with being a "bean ball” pitcher, but they admit and praise the fact that he has done no pitching of that sort this season. Before leaving for Cleveland with Mrs. Chapman and the body of the dead athlete, Trls Speaker, manager of the Cleveland Indians, said he would try to prevent any action in the Cleveland club against Mays. He was expected to issue a statement in Cleveland. BAN AWAITS FULL REPORT CHICAGO, Aug. 18—Ban Johnson, president of the American league, last night said be could make no statement

concerning the future status of Carl Mays until he had more complete reports, when Informed of the reported intention of the Boston and Detroit teams to ask I that the New York pitcher be banished because of the death of Ray Chapman. President Johnson said he knew of no way by which Owen Bush, shortstop of the Detroit team, could be transferred to Cleveland, a procedure which Bush suggested In Boston last night. “It la past the time when sales or trndeH can be made between clubs,” said President Johnson, and a loan of a player to a pennant contender would never be sanctioned by the other clubs.

INDIANS CLOSE WITH LEADERS ' INTWINCARD Hoosiers Make Last Effort to Show Something Against the Champs. TWO HOME RUNS AGAIN ST. PAUL, Aug. la.—Jack Hendricks’ Indians made their last 1920 appearance here this afternoon by engaging In a double-header with the champion Saints and, with two defeats handed them already In the series, the Hoosiers wer-i desperately inclined to win today by any means possible. Jones and Caret were the probable pitching choices for the Tribesmen, with Williams and Hall • the likely Saint chuckers. Two home runs by the champions and errors behind Jess Petty permitted the Saints to grab the second game of the series yesterday, 8 to 4. The Indians were badly off in the field as their misplays came with men on bases and proved costly. But when a team opposes the Saints it must play air-tight b-sehall or see itself slip, and that rs what happened yesterday to the Tribe. Hargrave and Haas were the homerun sluggers yesterday, both hoisting the ball over the short left field fence. Os course the fence Is not' moved back when the Indians bat, but It seems as though visiting players have difficulty in finding the range. Two of Petty’s four walks resulted in runs, although it must be said that Jess pitched a fair brand of ball against the Champions. He was opposed by Merritt, who was found rather consistently by the Hoosiers until his mates gave him a lead, after which he tightened. When the Indians scored a brace of markers In the fifth they looked like winners, but the Saints came right back and scored three, knotting the count. Then in the sixth Hargrave cracked out a homer.
