THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

GIANTS UNLOOSE POISE STIES FOR HUBPLEI McGraw Gets McQuillan in Big Deal With Boston Braves. By HENRY FARRELL. United Pres* Sports Editor. NEW YORK. July 31.—Showing that the Boston-New York entente cordiale will work In most any direction, the Giants have now gone pennant marketing to the Hub. Badly in need of pitching to ward off the pesky St. Louis Cardinals, the Giants reached out last night for help and they found the Braves willing to part with Hugh McQuillan, their best pitcher, to aid a diet!eased ally. In return the Giants passed over big Fred Toney, who has about passed out; Benton, a Memphis pitcher, and Walter Houlihan, agi untried college rookie hurler from Middlebury. Lots of Cash Involved. Some cash went along, too. New York says It was "substantial'’ and Boston alleges it was in six figures. McQuillan is a high-class young pitcher. With a tail-end team he has won five out of fourteen games and he ought to be a life-saver for the Giants. Right on the heels of the New York Boston deal In the American League the Giants acted as if more evidence were needed to show Commissioner Landis that he should step in and take a whack at pennant buying. Legislation Needed If some legislation isn’t enacted against dollars in baseball, the world’s series might as well be awarded in perpetuity to New York. Counting up the cash involved In the purchase of Arthur Nehf, Dave Bancroft. Irish Meusel, Frank Snyder, Heinie Groh and McQuillan, the Giants have invested close to a half-million dollars in a pennant contender, when the other rivals, with Ihe exception of the Chicago Cubs, can't afford to put out SIOO,OOO. Bartering between the clubs is banned after today, and if the Cardinals should have the money to make a counter move on the market, the mighty law of baseball will prevent it.

DASH OF BLUES PROVES BIG THRILL FOR A. A.

Bv EDDIE ASII Do the Kansas City Blues meant it? Some time ago, when the Cowboys were floundering down among the sec ond division teams, and well down at that, the players continued to beam confidence and Issued statements to the effect that they would get going later. The K. C. boys have produced and apparently they mean to continue blasting their way forward and upward. With Sunday's game, the Blues lengthened their co'nsecutlve victory string to thirteen. The team is now at the .500 mark. In other words, it Is even with the board. Whenever a team is even with the board around Aug. 1, it still has a chance. Consistent hitting behind fairly effective pitching has brought the Blues up. Slug, slug, slug has been their watchword. Making it good for Manager Good is what the Blues are doing. The fans are glad to see the Kaws get back in the hunt. August and September are going to see some lasting thrills in the A. A. pennant conflict. The Indians, In second place, made a gain on the leading St. Paul outfit

FIVE-RUN RALLY IN FINAL 11 IVINS FOR TRIBE Series Opener With Leaders Copped in Hot Finish Weaver in Form. By Times Special ST. PAUL, July 31.—What a thriller the opening game of the IndianSalnt series was! Before a large Sunday crowd the leaders and runners-up in the A. A. ; race clashed and the second-place Hoo- j slers finished on top, 6 to 1. It was a pitchers’ battle between Vet Charlie Hall and Harry Weaver and by a grand and glorious finish the Hendricksmen made a gain of a full game in the pennant fight. Going Into the ninth inning with the j score stamling one and one, the In- J dlans cut loose with a war like batting rally and five runs were chased over j the pan before the Saints could get three men out. The Charlie Hall jinx had been broken and the first contest of the important series put on ice. Harry Weaver gave up only five i hits. He had better control than or- j dinarily Is his case and the Saint batters were puzzled. He walked six men, ; but at least three were passed pur- j posely. The Indians got 13 hits, Sicking, | Yerkes, Brown, Rehg and Weaver de- j llvertng with the majority. Nice Game All Around INDIANAPOLIS. ab. r h. o. a e.

Sunday. The Brewers gained, the Millers gained, the Blues gained. Around and around they go! Close to 40,000 fans witnessod the Yankee-White Sox game in Chicago Sunday. Babe Ruth entertained the throng by fumbling a grounder in a pinch. Boston is determined to save the big league pennants for New York. The Giants have obtained Pitcher Hugh McQuillan in a big deal. Fred Toney, a couple of rookies and a bundle of cash go in return. Owner Grant of the Braves was very open in explaining tho deal, “it has been a lean year for the Braves,” he said, “and I needed the money.” The gate crashers found a way around the army of coppers assigned to keep them out of the Tendler Leonard bout. A total of 1,700 counterfeit tickets showed up in the Inspector’s count. That was a rapid-fire game in Minneapolis Saturday in the wind-up of the Indlan-Mliler series. It was played in one hour and ten minutes, the Millers beating Bartlett, 3 to 0. Some speed, that.

PITCHER CAUSEY CHESTRTRIBE fiijj.team Indians Obtain Crack Right Hander as Result of GiantsBraves Deal. Pitcher Cecil Causey of the New York Giants Monday was obtained by the Indianapolis club to help in the Tribe's efforts to overhaul the Saints in the A. A. flag race. Causey Is a right hander and is rated strong enough to prove a winner for the Indians. He comes to the Tribe as a part of the Ralph Shinners deal. First, Claude Jonnard was sent to the Indians. His work was high-class and when John McGraw recalled him Pat Shea was sent. When Shea failed to deliver the Indians returned him and asked for Causey. Smith Confers with McGraw Owner Smith was in New York over the week-end and he urged to let Causey come at once. Today McGraw granted the request and Causey will join the Indians on their return home Thursday. The addition of Causey will give the ; Indians seven twirlers and it is be 1 lieved all will be retained for the battle down the pennant stretch. Causey has won four and lost three games for the Giants this year. McGraw’s deal with Boston Sunday resulted in Causey being turned over |to the Indians at this time. Toney, Larry Benton, whom the Giants farmed to the Memphis club and Walter Houlihan. Middlebury College hurler, were sent to Boston with a sum of money for Fred McQuillan. Causey was released to Indianapolis and Pat Shea sent to Memphis to fill Benton’s place. IS THE BAMBIMO THROUGH? Figures Show He Is Hitting Ahead of His 1921 Stride. Babe Ruth, famous for home runs, is widely discussed in sporting circles. The discussion usually centers around whether or not the Babe is on the downward path. Some say he is, others are not so certain, but figures show he is a couple of homers ahead of his last year’s mark at this time. In his first fifty-five games In 1921 Ruth had sixteen homers. In his first fifty-five games this year he has seventeen. He got his eighteenth homer Saturday. Take your choice.

CARDS COST NOTHING WHILE GIANTS REPRESENT FORTUNE

Bu BILLY EVAN’S The National League race appears to have simmered down to a two-club affair, the New York Giants and the' St. Louis Cardnals, with the Giants a game and a half in the lead, after , taking four out of five in the recent Card series. If St. Louis wins the pennant it will be a great tribute to the managerial ability of Branch Rickey. The Giants are one of the highest priced aggregations in the history of the game, the Cardinals one of the cheapest. It Is a peculiar outfit, the St. Louis: Cardinals.

$50,000 BEAUTY

S' / \

By XEA Service SEATTLE, July 31.—Above is $50,000 worth of ball player, otherwise Frank G. “Stubby” Mack, who has been sold to the Chicago White Sox by Seattle for approximately that figure. The deal was engineered by Danny Long, the Sox scout, who recently negotiated the Willie Kamm purchase at SIOO,OOO. Mack’s record of games won is not phenomenal. But Seattle is a seconddivision team, and also “Stubby” is credited with losing more hard-luck games than any other pitcher in the Coast League—games lost by a onerun margin or a critical adverse break. Mack is a Californian, San Diego being his home town. He is 24 years old, weighs 185 pounds and has a good curve ball and a good baseball head. Value of Ray SchalU The value of a star catcher behind the bat is well demonstrated in the case of the Chicago White Sox. Wise baseball men give most of the credit for the sensational showing of the Sox this season to Ray Schalk, long rated aa the greatest catcher in baseball. Schalk takes the young pitchers and works untiringly with them to teach them control. Once out of wild ways, all Schalk asks is to get the ball just where he calls for it.

est players of all time, cost the Cardinals SSOO. He was obtained from the Denison (Texas) team in 1915. Bill Doak. one of Rickey’s pitching stars, came to the Cardinals for the draft price of S3OO from the Akron (Ohio) club. Milton Stock, after being shunted from the Giants to the Phillies, was obtained in a trade. Jeff Pfeffer, who has been doing good box work, came from Brooklyn in exchange for Ferdie Schupp. Max Flack was obtained from Chi cago for Heathcote. Practically every other player on the club was taken from the minors and developed by Rickey. Manager McGraw of the Giants, on the other hand, has gatnered his stars together through a liberal expenditure of money. His latest deal with Boston acquiring McQuillan follows the Giant custom of buying the piayers they want.
