TIRRIN 7 the DOPE By VEDDER GARD

TUCH has been said in the past two or three years i____ about baseball losing its finer points. It has been claimed with much truth that games have become slugging matches in which one run was not imnortant enough to worry' about. The era of Babe Ruth and the lively ball and an apparent decline in pitching has spoiled some of those niceties of the sport which in days gone by thrilled the fans. The national pastime has been accused of having lost most of its scientific qualities, such as base stealing, bunting and place hitting. The mighty bludgeon of the sluggers has become the scepter of power. And the fans have been held to blame for all of it. They wanted the batting and so they are getting it. That’s what anyone connected with baseball will tell you. All that may be true, but the pendulum is swinging back if some indications noticed at Washington Park lately are any signs of how the fickle winds of fandom's opinion are blowing. Long hits are not so common with the liglit-hitting Tribe and home runs are not so easy to register at Washington Park, where the fences are back where they belong. But, nevertheless, the fans are applauding a little fellow who is playing the oldstyle of game. Wid Matthews, slight of stature, but mighty in spirit, is poking out hits and beating out bunts. He is slapping the ball to right and dumping it into left. He is’ stealing bases, an almost lost art,. He Is, in short, using his noodle instead of main strength. Do the fans like it? Go out some day and see if they don’t eat it up. * • * 9 O 1 ACROSS THE BOARD TODAY : o o Across The Wfxird picked up a little more dough at Coney Island on Tuesday. Ice was hot in the second race and lost only by a head. The $2 win, place and show money brought 515.n0, which meant a winning of $0.30. The prices on a $2 mutnel ticket were SB.BO to place and $6.50 to show. The show “end” of ihe $2 parlay went over when J. G. Denny in the fourth race was third and Musician in the fifth event also was third. The first horse paid $2.80 to show and Musician was $6.20 for a $2 ticket. This brought bade $8.65. Tlie winnings after the $6 play was deducted amounted to $2.65. The bank roll now stands at $407A0. Today we will stay at Coney Island. In the second race we will try $5 win. place and show on Poor Sport. The same goes on Shampoo in the fourth. * * * mF you happen to be sitting on the lower end of the teeter-totter be patient and the board will swing upward again. The New York Yankees are now winning ball games and the Giants are in a slump. The McGrawmen lost their third game In the fit. Louis series on Tuesday. The Yanks made it three out of four over Cleveland. It was the sixth victory out of the last seven starts. ** * I Weight—that specter which looms for every jockey, has become a reality for one of the most promising of American riders. Little Ivan Parke, who 'created a sensation while an apprentice a couple years ago, is getting fat. It is said I’arke plans to give up the turf. * * * Brian I. C. Norton, St. Louis tennis star, found one court in Des Moines, la., that he did not like. He was arrested on a charge of speeding, but failed to appear. The Judge refused to forfeit the game. * * * mHE baseball ticker has a language all its own and those who read the tap day after day learn to tell by the sound without looking at the printed figure the number of runs scored. Those who maids up the games on the various boards in this city say it is easy to tell whether a team has made no runs in an inning or one run. The zero is a quick tick while the figure "1” is longer. The “experts” claim in some cases they can read with fair accuracy up to “6.” They know when the figures recorded are high, but can not distinguish just which number is printed. The 7’s, B’s and 9’s come In over the ticker and are printed on the tape with more of a "plunk” than the smaller. Battery changes and home runs easily can be distinguished from the score by innings. • • • It was drizzling- rain when the White Sox and Athletics started their game on Tuesday at Philadelphia and the poorest attendance of the series was out. Only 8,000 fans were in the stands. Get that. ONLY 8,000 spectators In a drizzling rain. Philadelphia is a poor sport town. • • * SHE fireworks at the Fti Harrison show Tuesday light were army signal material which was do have been paid of the instruction at the cifiizens’ training camp and for some reason was never used. The bright rockets are useless if stored away too long so the boxing fans were treated to some July Fourth stuff before the start of the bouts. The only tiling that rivaled the bright display was a sliirt worn by a spectator who strolled into the arena a short Line before tlie first bout. It was a flowered creation of such dazzlng design and line that the fans got up and cheered tlie youth. Later he stood up while someone near him cast the rays of a pocket flashlight on him so all could see. It was one of the three knockouts on the card. * * * The latest rumor in big league circles is that Bill Klllefer, deposed leader of the Cubs will manage Brooklyn next season.
