Parth, England’s Best, May Meet Zev in Special Race for SIOO,OOO Wager
CLASSIC OF TURF WOULD BE RUN ON KENTUCKY TRACK Sinclair Challenges Macomber for International Event Between Great Animals, By United Fnancial SARATOGA SPRINGS, Aug. 8. —Will A. K. Macomber, owner of Parth, the best horse entered in the Epsom Derby, accept Harry F. Sinclair's challenge to a dual race to be run on an American track for a side bet of SIOO,OOO, between Parth and Zev? That is the question which is arousing great interest here. The more the - followers of the ponies consider the proposition the more they approve the race between the best of the English colts and the best America has produced. Full Derby Distance Through Arthur B. Hancock, the Kentucky Jockey Club has offered a purse of $50,000 if the race is run at Estonia this autumn. Sinclair and the American race-going public are more than anxious for a full derby distance race between these two leaders of the turf runners. It undoubtedly would arouse more Interest than the historic Man O’War-Sir Barton contest. Parth id not win the Epsom Derby. In fact, he finished third, but in finishing third he looked far and away the class of the field Badly boxed in the start of the unwieldy field, he was lengths behind the group of leading horses before he started, but at the finish he was simply running over his field. He Backs His Nags Macomber bought Parth after that race because he was convinced that Parth in the best bet of the year on tho English tracks. Macomber has a habit of backing his horses down to the last pound and unless his fall engagements in England interfere too seriously Sinclair expects that his challenge will be accepted. If it is the classic of the year will be run at a Kentucky track.

A Flivver Deal for Ty
Harum class. Cobb's big deal.
By SEA. Service DETROIT, Aug. B.—Ty Cobb is unquestionably the greatest ball player the game over has produced. But as a trader of baseball material, Cobb is far from the David Harum class. Cobb's big deal, Ehmlte and a lot of money for Collins and Pratt, which he figured would make the Tigers a pennant contender, has proved a "flivver.” Pitcher Collins, on whom Cobb banked for twenty ball games, has been a false alarm. Last year Ehmke won seventeen games for Detroit. This year with
TWO TODAY AND SINGLE THURSDAY CLOSE SERIES Champ Saints Stay Even With Blues at Tribe Expense Tuesday—Sheehan Checks Our Sluggers, All afternoon at the ball park today. Champion Saints and Indians in a double-header. The Kelleyites started off with the series edge by copping the Tuesday game, 5 to 0, and thereby kept on an even footing with the K. C. Blues in the hotsketch race for the American Association lead.
Two contests tc-day and one Thursday will bring the series to a close. Big Tom Too Good The Saints sent Tom Sheehan, their hurling mainstay, to the mound Tuesday and that settled it for the Tribes men. He was too good and put the sudden check to the locals’ batting attack. Onjy five hits were obtained off his delivery. It was Sheehan's sixteenth victory of the season. He has been defeated only four times. The big fellow has been bothered by a weak ankle recently arid he hobbled some Tuesday, but while he was on the rubber the injured “hoof” didn’t interfere with his pitching skill and the Indians couldn’t draw a thing but goose eggs. When Saints Scored Gus Bono twirled for the Tribe. He was touched for two runs in the opening inning and that lead was sufficient for the Saints to work on. They scored again in the fourth and in the seventh a terrible* wild heave by Jay Kirke gave them two more markers. A shower halted the game for about twenty minutes in the ninth before the Indians took their last time at bat, but the wet stuff failed to bother Sheehan and he proved just as good with a slippery ball as with a dry one. Morse cracked out three hits for the champions and Campbell got two of the Indians’ five. Christensen and Christenbury contributed feature catches in the outfield.
Has a player the right to remove the flagstlck when he gets on the green and believes he can hole out on the next put? Who should remove the flagstlck? Is there any penalty if. after having the flagstlck removed, the player's ball comes into contact with it? A player has a perfect right to have the flagstlck removed at any time. Usually he makes such a request when he believes he has a chance to hole out. It Is permissible for either himself or his partner or one of the caddies to remove the flagstlck. It is always wise to have the stick carried to a safe distance from the hole. If the hall of the player comes into contact with the stick after it lias been removed he loses the hole. • * * In a very closely contested match, one of the p: ay ere feels that his opponent has driven his ball out of bounds from the tee. He is desirous of getting such information before playing his next shot, feeling that If his opponent s ball Is out of bounds he will have a slight edge that may determine his style of play. Has the player such right? A player has the right at any time of ascertaining whether his opponent's ball is out of bounds or not before his opponent ran compel hint to continue hit play. • • • Is there a difference in the penalty when a player in putting strikes his opponent's ball in match or medal play? There is considerable difference. In match play there is no penalty, and a player's opponent may replace his ball or not as hr chooses. In mrdal play there Is a one-stroke penalty, consequently it is always safer to ask yonr opponent who is closer to the hole to either lift his bail or play it. In medal play It Is necessary that your opponent replace his ball In as near as possible to its original position.

Unable to beat them at baseball, the Cincinnati Reds Tuesday tried to lick the Giants in a free-for-all fight, but the Reds’ own cops stopped them. The Giants won and swept the series with five straight wins. Cy Williams hit his twenty-ninth homer with one on Tuesday and the Phils made it three out of four games in the series with a victory over the Pirates. The Athletics Increased their ‘‘winning streak” to two straight games by beating the White Sox. The Cards managed to win one game of the series from the Braves by copping the last fracas.

JACK REICHLE By XEA Service BOSTON, Aug. B.—Speaking of 1923 recruits who have made the grade in the big leagues, don’t fail to Include Jack Relchle, outfielder of the Boston Red Sox. He formerly played with Illinois University. He doesn’t possess the batting average he did In the spring, but he is holding his Job.
THE PLAY When the umpire declare* infield fly, what bearing does It have if an outfielder ultimately handles the ball? With the bases filled and one out. the batsman hits a high fly to short. The umpire thinks the ball can easily be handled by an lnflelder and immediately rules it an infield fly, protecting the bane runners. The left fielder, playing in close, comes tearing In. The shortstop Is all set to make the play. The shortstop keeps calling that he will make the play, but it Is unheeded by the left fielder. The shortstop at the last moment. to avert a collision, steps aside und permits the left fielder to make a play. The left fielder muffed the ball and gave it a regular drop kick as it struck the ground. All three runners scored and the batsman reached second. The team at bat asserts the handling Os the fly by an outfielder makes void the umpire’s ruling of infield fly. What about it? THE INTERPRETATION If. In the opinion of the umpire, the shortstop was able to make a play on the fly ball, and he declared it an ‘‘lnfield fly.'' the batsman was out under the rule, even though an outfielder actually handled the ball and then muffed it. The three runs, of course, scored. PRINTERS’ NATIONAL MEET St. Paul, Hamilton and Chicago Win on Third Day. By Times Special NEW YORK, Aug.

RUTH’S BAT HAS PART IN FOHL LOSING HIS BERTH Lee's Confidence in Brownie Pitchers to Handle Babe Usually Met With Bad Results. BY HENRY FARRELL United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK. Aug. B.—Lee Fohl, whose guesses always went wrong and who was the only manager in the American League game enough to give Babe Ruth a cut at the ball, is out of a job.
Fohl was notified late Tuesday that the owners of the Browns didn't want him to continue at the helm and Jimmy Austin, the veteran third baseman and coach, was named to succeed him. A Matter of Guessing When a manager guesses, his guess goes either right or wrong. Fohl's nearly all went wrong and at the bottom of his difficulties over several stormy seasons was a confidence In his pitchers that made him gamble with the bat of Babe Ruth. Several years ago when Fohl was handling the Cleveland Indians and when the club was "standing for the pennant,” Fohl allowed a rookie pitcher to work on Ruth when the strategist* were shouting for the youngster to serve them to the plate on the bounce. Ruth knocked the ball out of the park, and knocked Fohl right out of a good Job. Another guess went wrong for Fohl late last season when the Yanks and the Browns were playing their famous series in St. Louis for the pennant. If this guess went right, he would have been held as a wizard, but it didn’t. Pruett for Davis In the last game of the series, the Brown boss jerked Dixie Davis out of the game when the Yanks started pecking at him and shoved in young “Shucks” Pruett, who had been making Ruth look foolish all season. The Uanks massacred the youngster and won the game. New York fans razz managers who

Winning one ball game a day is regarded as a pretty fair performance in these days of the lively ball. To take down a double-header is performing the unusual.

He was plosely followed by Adolfo Luque of the Cincinnati Reds.
will not permit their pitchers to work on Babe Ruth and give him a chance to hit. Fohl has never been razzed because he never assumed the attitude that his pitchers were not good enough to match wits with the swat king. In last Sunday's game Fohl let his pitchers work on Ruth and the Babe slapped out two homers arid won the game. In Monday's game Fohl refused to order a pass with the bases filled and Ruth up, and the Babe emptied the sacks with a double and won the game.
