Feature Games of the Past
July 23, 1901 CLARKE RINGS ALL THE BELLS ■File famous feat of hitting the cycle (that is, making a single, a double, a triple and a homer) went to the credit of Fred Clarke, Pirate leader, oh July 23, 1901, when he faced Hahn of the Reds. Incidentally Phillips hit for Crawford in the ninth. That sounds funny considering that Sam had hit a single and a double in four times up.

IALE OF CROWD SEES BUGK WHALE BRIGHTWOOD IDOL Wallace Down for Nine in Sixth—Fans Given Action at Fort, The largest crowd of boxing fans ever assembled at Ft. Harrison, packed the Army reservation arena Tuesday night and was entertained by a fine fistic program. The main go, between Roy’ Wallace and Soldier Buck, was undoubtedly the magnet that drew the large audience and the two battlers gave every one his money's worth. Buck Improves Since last seen here Buck has improved, and he outslugged and outboxed the Brightwood boy about all the way. In the sixth round Wallace was sent to the canvas by a hard sock in the chin for the count of nine. The soldier kept jabbing with his left and was smart enough to keep out of the way of Roy’s k. o. rnit. The referee’s decision for Buck was unquestioned. Reamer Roberts and Jackie Dugan mixed it fast in their eight-round semi-wind-up and the decision of Referee Bauman giving the go to Dugan was based on a very slight shade. Roberts appeared to be entitled to a draw. Mullen Is Winner Billy Cottingham of Ft. Thomas lost to Eddie Mullen of Muncie when the Kentucky boy’s seconds tossed in the towel in the fourth round of their programmed six-round bout. Cottingham sprained his right hand and was unable to continue. Allen Watson, giving away about six pounds to Carl Stewart, gained a draw by his gameness in mixing it all the way with his heavier opponent. It was feather against bantam. .. * In the curtain-raiser. Young Vanover of Evansville defeated Joe Walters of Columbus in six rounds. The main go next Tuesday night at the fort will be between Eddie Dyer and K. O. Jeakle, It was announced.

MORE HARD LUCK FOR GOB SQUAD O’Farrell and Heaithcote Added to Hospital List, By Times Special CHICAGO, July 22.—8i1l Killefer's Chicago Cubs, second place team in the National League pennant fight, bumped into more hard luck Tuesday, when Catcher O’Farrell and Outfielder Heatheote were injured. O'Farrell received a fractured skull over the right eye. A foul tip from the bat of Mclnnis, Boston, struck the Cub catcher’s mask, broke it and drove a section of metal into the top of O'FarreU's forehead. Heatheote was injured while sliding. Grover Alexander, mainstay of the Cub pitching staff, went on the crippled list several days ago with a fractured wrist.
Saints Bolster —Other A. A. Talk
Toledo, Kansas City, Minneapolis and Milwaukee, were the Tuesday winners in the American Association. Toledo was the lone firstdivision club to win. The Blues blanked the leading Colonels in a thriller, 1 to 0. and the Hens nosed out the second-place Saints, 9 to 7, in ten Innings. St. Paul has added Outfielder Cliff Lee to its roster. He goes to the Saints in the Dressen deal with Cincinnati. Dressen will not report to the Reds until next spring. Pitcher Cliff Markle is going to return to the Saints. He had a record of eleven wins in fifteen starts this season before being sold to the Yankees. The major brand of basebajl didn’t pie ise Markle and he asked to be returned to St. Paul. His request was granted. With the help of Lee and Markle. the Saints will bo well fortified for i Do You Know Baseball? By BILLY EVANS If you want the final decision on any baseball dispute, write Billy Evans, NEA Service, 1200 W. Third St., Cleveland, Ohio. QUESTIONS. 1. Kindly give your opinion of this play, as there is a sixteen-inning scoreless game depending on it. Left-hander at the bat, runner on second, when batsman hits line drive to the side of the pitcher on which he could make no play. The umpire standing close to second was hit on the head. The contact did not change the direction of the ball, as the contact was slight, and it continued on its way to the outfield, getting past the fielder. The batsman made the circuit, scoring the runner ahead of him. The ball was not an infield hit but a terrific drive, and, lifter striking the umpire, landed far past second base, still in the air.—T. D. B. 2. Pitcher throws ball to batsman standing in his box with his bat on his shoulder. Ball was so wide of the plate that batter. In trying to avoid it, so leaned that his bat came into contact wih the ball. The result was a foul ball. There were no strikes on the batsman at the time. Was this a strike or is it treated as an accident, the ball becoming dead)—R. C. H. ANSWERS. 1. The happening was a tough break for the team at bat. but. when the umpire is hit by a batted ball, on which no play has been made, the ball becomes dead, batsman is entitled to first and no runners can advance unless forced. The runner on second simply remains there and batsman goes to first. 2. It is a strike. When bat comes into contact with a wildly pitched ball, whatever happens is legal. If ball had bounded into fair territory it would have been a fair ball. Krolm Loses to King By Times Special KALAMAZOO, Mich., July 23.

TRIBESMEN FIND MORE HARD GOING ON ROAD Second Series Fray Lost to Brewers Same Way as Opener —Lack of Staying Qualities Hurts, By Times Special MILWAUKEE, July 23.—From the standpoint of the Milwaukee fan, the Indians of Ownie Bush are soft plucking. The Brewers slammed the lloosiers again Tuesday, 6 to 5, the same count as on Monday. The Tribesmen just fainted away after
threatening to do something. The Tribesmen don’t show the allaround power they did on their first visit here early in the season. The team is crippled, but added to that handicap, the pitchers have weak ened, the defense is erratic and the old late-inning punch is lacking. It's a Habit The Hoosiers have blown up several times on this trip—blown up after they had obtained leads. Evidently some of the boys have lost their endurance. The third fracas of the series was carded this afternoon and Manager
the struggle down the A. A. pennant stretch. Owner Smith of the Indians found Indianapolis too hot for slumber Tuesday night and he checked out, for the East to search for sea breezes. Vice President Smith and Secretary Clauer are here directing preparations for “Babe Ruth day” Friday. While In the East, Owner Smith may talk business with major league clubs regarding the big league prospects on his club —Petty, Allen and Hodapp. Hodapp is fielding poorly, but it seems the scouts are interested in him nevertheless because of his batting ability and the fact he is a mere kid. Allen got a double and single In Milwaukee Tuesday and gave signs of emerging from his batting slump. If he starts slugging the ball again the major scouts are expected to make offers for his services. Mike Kelley has traded Shortstop Mitchell to Brooklyn for Infielder Klugman. Mitchell Is the fifth player Minneapolis has sent to the majors this season. Kelley doesn’t mind the opinion of the fans.

Bush was uncertain about his pitching selection. The little pilot is worried over the collapse of a team that started the year in glorious fashion. He stij! is hopeful of a revival of spirit when Jones and Rehg return to the line-up. Tribe-Brewer Notes Hodapp made two costly errors Tuesday and gave the Brewers a start. The youngster then was shifted to second and Sicking went to short. Whelan played third, displacing Campbell, who has not been hitting. Three Brewer ’ripleg, two by Bell j and one by Griffin, proved disastrous j to Fitzsimmons. Three Milwaukee runs in the sev- j enth put the skids under the Hoosiers. The Tribesmen held a 5 to 3 lead until that time. Fitzsimmons had some tough luck, but he was outpitched by Schaack i In the tight places. The Indians certainly wijl be delighted when this road trip ends. It* will end Thursday, after which the Tribesmen will hustle to Indianapolis to meet the New York Yanks in an exhibition Friday.

DOPE UPSET IN $25,000 PA CING DERB Y FEA TURE Margaret Spangler, Eastern Mare, Cops Big Stake on Grand Circuit Baron Worthy, Favorite, Third, By Times Special KALAMAZOO, Mich., July 23.—An Eastern pacer, Margaret Spangler, a bay mare owned by the Liberty Bond’stable of Attleboro, Mass., and driven by Fred Hyde, won the $25,000 Pacing Derby here Tuesday, the big feature of the season’s Grand Circuit harness events.
Miss Belwin, another bay mare, owned and driven by A. K. Vail of North Randall, Ohio, was second and Earon Worthy, the favorite, owned and driven by Tommy Murphy, was third. Foyrth, fifth and sixth money went tdfcColonel Bidwell, Sparkle and La Pamnia, respectively. The winner took down $15,400 of th£ purse. Second was worth $4,400 and third, $2,200. Fourth, fifth and sixth got $l,O/00 each. Upset for Horsemen The result was a surprise to horsemen. It was a complete upset of the dope as few thought the mare had a chance. Miss Belwin, which finished second also was an outsider and had but little following. There were fourteen starters and it proved an unwieldy field to handle as many of the thoroughbreds were very unruly. In the first heat the horses started ten times before being sent away. Miss Belwin won the first heat by a half-length from Colonel Bidwell. Margaret Sp\ngler was only a neck behind with Baron Worthy in fourth place. Margaret Wins Second Margaret Spangler won the second heat in a driving finish with Miss Belwin a close second and Colonel Bidwell third. Baron Worthy was sixth in this heat. In the final and decisive heat Baron Worthy from sixth position got out in front and was never headed. Margaret was about through and had to be driven hard to take second place from Sparkle, which finished third. According to the three-heat plan of racing Margaret' Spangler won the big feature by finishing third in the first heat, first in the second and second in the third. The crowd was estimated at between 10,000 and 15,000. The track was fast and it was an ideal day for racing. WISE COUNSELLOR AGAIN Western Colt Back In Form; Beats Eastern Stars.
