Joe Boley, Baltimore Phenom, Said to Be Slated for Berth With N. Y. Yanks

RUMORS INDICATE OWNER RUPPERT DAS DEAL CLOSED Famous Oriole Shortstop Wanted to Take Scott's Place When 'Vet' fades, By KEA Service NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—Joe Boley, International League sensation, prob ably will be wearing a Yankee uniform before long. Col. Jacob Ruppert’s scouts have been dickering for the speedy Baltimore shortstop for some time. Now they've all but closed a deal for him, it Is learned from authoritative sources. And it looks like he’ll be stepping into Everett Scott's shoes some of these days. Scott Is Real Veteran. The veteran Scotty, himself, admits he's running along on his last lap in the majors. When he played his I,oooth consecutive game early last spring, friends asked him how much longer he intended to play in the big league. "Two years more as a regular if they will let me," he replied with a smile. Colonel Ruppert and Manager Miller Huggins apparently feel just the same way. Boley, according to the present dope, is regarded as the man best fitted to plug up the big hole that will be left when age finally gets the best of Scotty. Boley Ripe for Majors Joe, a protege of Jack Dunn, veteran Oriole manager, is said to possess the most wonderful hands in baseball. He is a big leaguer in every respect and is ready to step right in and deliver the goods, say scouts who have seen him in action. Several clubs in the majors have tried to land him. Dunn admits he recently turned down a SIOO,OOO offer from Brooklyn. But Jack has been holding on to his speedy shortstop, for he realizes the position he fills is the keystone of an infield. The new infield at the Yankee stadium is chain lightning. It is troubling Everett considerably. Another year may be his limit. Officials of the New York team will neither deny nor confirm the reported transaction with Dunn. Neither will the Oriole pilot, according to word from Baltimore.

It is understood that terms offered by Rickard and accepted in cablegrams from Firpo i constitute the only contract that I binds him to the New York promoter.

TIIE PLAY Here is a freak squeeze play. The squeeze is put on. The batter bunts a pop fly toward third base. The runner on third, ofl with the pitch, slides across the plate while the ball is In the air. He sets to his feet and starts for the bench. The coacher believes the ball will be caught and yells for the runner who has crossed the plate to come back to third. The runner chances his course from the bench back to third. The ball falls safe, the third baseman not being; able to mak* the catch. However, he picks up the ball and rushes up and touches the runner who is about ten feet from third base. Does the run count or was the runner out ? THE INTERPRETATION It was held the run counted. The contention was made that the moment the runner on third touched the plate he legally scored a run. Since the ball was not caupht there was no chance to retire him. as the plate became his base the moment he touched it, and he thereby legally scored a run as defined in rule 59.

Asa result of the Saints losing one contest here Wednesday while Kansas City was winning at Columbus, the Blues gained undisputed possession of first place in the hot A. A. race. The Saints and Blues had been In a tie for the league lead since Sunday. Burwell Poorly Supported The Saints were able to grab the opener Wednesday when the Tribe's defense cracked wide open In the pinch. Burwell’s support was very ragged and he didn't have a chance to win under the circumstances. With good fielding behind him he undoubtedly would have put the skids under the visitors. It was in the fourth and sixth innings that his support went to pieces. He lost his form under the discouraging conditions and Fitzsimmons relieved him. The second of the day’s bill was a good ball game and Petty had it on Markle. The fans enjoyed seeing the Indians get one of the contests and they 'had much fun with the Saints after the Kansas City score had been posted and Petty kept sending Kelley’s swatters back to the bench.
