CAPABLANCA IN INTERNATIONAL PLAY

Capablanca, world’s champion ch ess player (right), meets Milan Vidmar, who gave him a few' puzzlers in the international chess congress at London recently.

BASEBALL COMMENT, GOSSIP Sisler Steps Out After Cobb’s Consecutive Hitting Record—Young Fielder Makes Good Start With Indians—Other Sport Notes. Bu EDDIE ASH George Sisler hardly can be beaten out of the honor of being declared the most valuable player in the American League this season. In fact, if there were a vote taken to select the most valuable player In all baseball for 1922, George doubtless would be awarded the honor. The St. Louis Brownie first sacker has been all-around good the entire season and he has been improving in the late season. In Wednesday’s game against Cleveland, Sisler got three hits and stole two bases. It marked the thirty-sixth consecutive game in which he had hit safely. That achievement placed him only four games behind the modem big league record established by Ty Cobb in 1911.

George is going exceptionally good when the Browns need brilliant play most. He Is hitting .419 and fielding spectacularly. His batting average is the highest in the majors. Middle West fans hope he gets in the world's series. The Indians divided the double header with the Hens at Toledo Wednesday in the first games of their long and final road jaunt. The opening struggle of the day was won. 11 to 10. in a terrific slugfest and the Hens copped the second, 4 to 0. Petty stayed throughout the hitting fracas despite the fact the Hens got to him in the eighth and ninth and scored six runs. A lone marker registered by the Tribe in the ninth proved the game winner. The second battle was all Hens. Old Doc Ayres faced the Indians and they couldn't touch him, getting only three hits. Weaver did the Tribe chucking. Outfielder Hamel of the Central League made his Indian debut in the Toledo twin bill. He got a single and triple in the first game, but was tamed like the other Indians in the second. His work was pronounced good for a rookie, however, and he will get a thorough trial. Pitcher Fitzsimmons, also of the Central League, joined the Indians along with Hamel and will be given an early opportunity to display his flinging prowess. Hollingsworth came to life for the Millers Wednesday and blanked the league-leading Saints. Rube Benton, the expert southpa-w, took the beating. K. C. Blues are creeping up. They beat the Brewers again Wednesday and went into a with the Indians for third place. Brief socked his thirty-third homer with three mates on. The Yankees got out of their losing streak by trimming the Red Sox. One point separated Brown and Yanks Thursday morning. Indianapolis George Dauss pitched the Tigers to victory over the White Sox, beating “No-Hit*’ Robertson. Everybody is bearing the former fierce Cardinals. The Reds did it Wednesday and nosed back into the first division. Giants and Braves were stopped by rain after five innings of the baseball

FILL OUT THE BLANK Mythical All-Association teams selected by Indianapolis fans started to be received by the Times Thursday. The opportunity offered baseball followers to make their personal selections is arousing keen interest. Some fans are In doubt about Carmen Hill, former Tribe pitcher, being eligible, because he has gone to the majors. On this point it would seem only fair that he be considered eligible, because ha was with the Indians four and onehalf months. Fill out the blank and mail It In.

A twin bill was carded and it will have to be played on an open date late this month. The Giants may need the games if they don’t hurry and brace. Eddie Roush, Hoos.er boy', is becoming pugilist.c. He started to swing on Umpire Moran, but was checked and given the tinware. Home runs accounted for all but j one of the runs in the 6-to-4 victory of j the Phillies' over the Dodgers. Do ball players g.ve their best in exhibition games? The Pirates and Nationals did Wednesday, Pittsburgh winning, 1 to 0, in a brilliant battle.
