Nail-Studded Bats Latest Trick to Boost Distance Clouting in the Majors

PLAYERS FOB EVADING RULES TOAIBHITIII 52 Nails Discovered in One War Club Examined by Umpire. LIVELY BALL HAS RIVAL Catchers Say Some Bludgeons Being Used Are Cause of Hefty Slugging. By BILLY EVASS The lively bat is the very latest thing in baseball. For several years most of the hard hitting has been charged against the so-called lively ball. Now there comes the question as to whether or not the bat is playing a part. Major league catchers are of the belief that the bat is doing its bit toward helping along the slugging that now features. Here is the latest rumor that is going the rounds relative to the increased hitting. Favorite Bats Are Spiked Major league players have their favorite bats. In order to preserve thest favorites bats it has been the custom for years with players to drive a few small nails or tacks Into the bat where It showed signs of splitting. Although the rules say that the bat shall be entirely of wood, little atention has ever been paid to the custom of driving a few nails into a favorite bat in order to preserve it. It is a well-known fact that the hardest hit balls come into contact with the bat at a point from six to twelve inches from the end of the bat. 52 Nails Found in One. Some player evidently got the idea that it would be a clever stunt to stud the bat with nails at the favorite point of contact. Only a week or so ago. I ruled out a bat that had fifty-two nails driven into the bat close to the end. It is said that the practice has become general in both big leagues. It is easy to picture how much impetus such a studded area would give to a ball that was properly hit. While umpires never essay to play the role of detective, the catchers are all beginning to watch the bats closely. and I understand any, number of bats have recently been ruled out in both major leagues. It wouldn’t be at all surprising if some definite action was taken against this dishonest practice by both leagues and the umpires given orders to throw out all bats that contained even a single nail. SISLER DETECTS FAINT FLUTTER OF A PENNANT George and Other Browns Confident of First American Loop Flag. By United Setcs PHILADELPHIA, July 22.—George Sisler, leader of the American League in most departments of the game, hears the first faint phantom flutters of the first pennant that lias flapped from a St. Louis flag pole in thirtyfour . years. Sisler predicts the Browns will beat out the Yanks, Tigers, Indians and White Sox for this season’s banner, which would be the first major league pennant ever won by St. Louis. George said the whole club felt the same confidence. Then he explained the Browns are a game and a half ahead of the Yanks now, almost as far fihead as they were when they cam# East. Their lead then was two games. Further. Sisler called attention to the fact that the Browns have only orie more short road trip this season, ilay many of their remaining games /against the weaker clubs, and the ma- / jority of their remaining games at * home. ROUSH CASE DEADLOCKED Although Player Is Reinstated, He Demands Original Terms. By Times Special CINCINNATI, July 22.—Although a dispatch from Oakland City, Ind., Roush's home, states that the Cincinnati outfielder has been reinstated by Judge Landis, the complexion of the case remains almost unchanged, Aa Roush Is still holding out for the US ,000 a year that he originally demanded. The Cincinnati club has not retracted from the terms of $15,000 a year offered Roush. The Red star said positively that he would not play unless his demands were met. It is s&id that Commissioner Landis strongly commended the Cincinnati club for its determined stand on the salary question. City Colored Net Finals Price and Brown won the semi-final matches of the city tennis tournament being conducted by the Colored Y. M. C. A., Price eliminating Cable, 6-3, 6-1, 6-8, and Brown defeating Hawkins, 6-2, 8-6. 8-6. The final match was to be played today. The winner of the meet will go to the national colored tournament at Philadelphia. Another for the Sox SEATTLE. Wash.. July 22.—Frank G. (“Stubby’’) Mack, young righthander of the Seattle club, has been sold to the White Sox for cash and players amounting to $50,000, the club announced Friday. HOMER AND DOUBLE By United Xeics NEW YORK. July 22.—Tv Cobb, the poor old guy. had another of his feeble days at bat in the game which the Tigers lost to the Yanks Friday. All he made was a homer with two men on base and a double. Two hits for six bases in four times up for a feeble afternoon's batting average of .500. Tbs poor old guy.

"Another advantage that my style of fighting gives me in the fact there are so few fighters using it that when a man does go up against it it is awkward for him to solve. “I’ll admit Leonard is one of the greatest lightweights that ever lived, but I have high hopes of winning from him.”

By Times Special MILWAUKEE, July 22.—Jack Hendricks’ Indians, slightly embarrassed by six successive defeats, were here today to open a series with the Brewers. Fans were expected to flock out in huge numbers to see the teams bat- \ tie, for Harry Clark’s men have been j doing a little sprinting recently that has put the old vinegar in the Brewer followers.

Tribe pitching ace. 1 went the same way as the other memi bers of the Hoosier staff and was \ found for twelve hits. He was wild, six bases on balls being issued to K. C. bastmen and these free tickets figured in the scoring. The Blues had a big inning again, it being the fifth, when five runs went | over the plate on hits and walks.

Two of the Tribe's three runs were i scored on circuit drives, Krueger and i Brown getting homers. Zwiiling, fori nter Indian, hit a homer for the Blues. Former Indians had much to do with the locals' victory. Carter, Lutzke and Zwiiling having been Tribe players in days gone by.
