Talking It Over fVIIH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.—There ought to be a law or something against fellows like George Harper, right fielder of the league leading Cardinals. Mr. John Joseph McGraw can get along without the likes of him very nicely. So can the rest' of the Giants. Harper was with the Giants earlier in the year. But he didn’t hold on. Mr. McGraw traded him to St. Louis for Bob O’Farrell, who waa thought to be a great catcher. Thought to be seems the correct phrase. It develops that Harper likes St. Louis—and doesn’t like Mr. McGraw. Not like he used to, anyway. He showed that plainly yesterday. ana Harper made three home runs in the first game, and was the standout, dominant, all-conquer-ing figure in a victory that did the leaders a lot of good and the chasers a lot of harm. a a a THE home runs were bad enough. Certainly they were numerous enough. But worse was the fiendish manner in which Harper gave vent to his jubilation at the misery his wooden weapon caused in the heart of Mr. McGraw. Harper got his first home run in the second inning, a swat into the right field stands. Larry Benton was pitching at the tjjne. Mr. McGraw thinks Larry is quite a pitcher. He is the one pitcher on the Giants staff who pitches his own game. Harper watched the ball on its flight as he trotted around the bags. When he reached the plate he turned and laughed at Mr. McGraw. Laughed right oAt laud. A coarse, cutting, vulgar laugh. ana Nothing more was heard from the Harper person until the sixth inning. With Frisch and Bottomley on he slugged No. 2 deep into the right field stands. Arriving at the plate onoe more he turned and shot a sinister glare at Mr. McGraw sitting in the dugout. ana HARPER didn’t Stop at shooting sinister looks. He held his sides and roared again. Then he put his thumb to his nose, and wiggled his fingers. Perhaps he was shadow boxing on a cornet. There was no more of Harper until the eighth, and thanks for that. When he came up this time anew face igreeted him. Or rather an old face on anew pitcher. Jack

Macks Creep n Up on Yanks in A. L. Race New Yorkers’ Lead Cut to One Game as Sox Triumph. By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 21.—The New York Yankees are only one ahead of the Philadelphia Athletics today. While the Chicago White Sox were defeating the Yankees, 4 to 3, Thursday the Athletics were winning from the Detroit Tigers, 6 to 1. In the National League, the Giants divided a double-header with the Cardinals.

LANSING, Midi., -Sept. 21.—Hugh E. Wilson, a former Michigan football star, was appointed line coach at the University of Michigan today as a result of the failure of E. (Butch) Slaughter to report according to the terms of his contract. Officials were mystified- at Wilson non appearance. He has been coaching at North Carolina State. Scott looked over to the dugout and got a signal from Mr. McGraw and wound up and pitched the little white pellet toward the plate and —whacko! That’s that Harper peison slugging No. 3 into the same right field stands. 'a st a There is hardry any sense in going any further with this. There was hardly any sense in even starting with it. Mr. McGraw of course is to blame. He shouldn’t have sent Harper to the Cardinals. He should have sentenced him to. Folsom or Ossining or Peoria in the Three-Lye League. That’where those sort of desperadoes belong.

Len Koenecke The Indians’ stalwart rookie outfielder from the Mississippi Valley League took an important part in two Tribe rallies Thursday. His single in the first inning drove in Haney and in the seventh his single sent Haney to third, whence he scored on Spencer's drive to center. Koenecke is fast for a big fellow and covers the garden in efficient style. He is gaining valuable experience for a thorough trial next spring.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Swetonic Holds Hens as x Millers Again Knock Over Brewers. HALF-GAME DIFFERENCE \ Tribe Beats Walker in Last Series Opener. “IF’ IN A. A. TODAY Pet. Win. Lose. Indianapolis ... .585 .588 .582 Minneapolis 582 .584 .578 BY EDDIE ASH Four to go for the Indiians. Three to go for the Millers. And the Hoosier ahead by a mere breeze. Both teams won Thursday, the Tribesmen knocking over the Hens here, 5 to 1, and the Millers "taking” the Brewers again, 6 to 3. The second tilt of the Indian-Hen closing series was carded this afternoon with a free gate for women and the frantic fans were expected to turn out and yelp for another hometown win. The Tribe pastimers can not afford to lose even one conflict. Can Not Shake* Millers , Manager Betzel’s boys have won fifteen of their last eighteen starts, but are leading the pennant fight by only one-half game owing to the mad pace being maintained by Mike Kelly’s Minneapolis maulers. With all other teams eliminated the two-club race is being watched throughout the baseball workj. and the same interest, of course, is being shown in the the big league stretch battles and the tight fit affair in the International loop. Get to Walker Steve Swetonic kept eight Toledo hits scattered Thursday while his mates attacked Lefty Walker of the visitors with enough concentrated power to put over a decisive victory. The Tribe got away to a two-run lead in the first stanza and improved on it in the fourth and fifth rounds. The Hens threatened at the outset Thursday, but a dazzling running catch by Matthews that he turned into a double play, prevented the enemy scoring in the first inning. It wasn’t until the seventh that the Hens were able to chalk up a tally. Koehler doubled, moved to third on an out and scored when Carter, batting for Walker, drilled one through Warstler. Jordan, third'sacker, got two of file eight hits off Swetonic and contributed one of the fielding features with a leaping stop back of third on Blenkiron in the fifth. The error charged against him was on a near hit by Blenkiron in the first, the hop being shorter than he figured. In the third stanza Holke singled and scored when Fullis dropped Swetonic’s twisting fly after a run. The sphere bounced out of Fullis’ glove when he was going at top speed.

In the fifth the Hoosiers got their last runs on three singles and an out. McNamara toiled on the Hen mound the last two innings, and held off the Tribesmen. Rawlings turned in a good day at second but failed to get one safe off Swetonic. The Tribe pitcher worked carefully and put as much as he could muster on every ball whenever the Hens had men on the paths. Koenecke’s single in the seventh was a ‘‘bleeder” that fell just out of reach of Fullis, Moore and Rawlings. Walker and Swetonic each fanned four. One of the three passes issued by Walker developed into a run. Matthews played a dandy game in center for the Indians, and had six putouts and one assist. Garland Buckeye struck for McNamara In the ninth and fanned after crashing a sizzling foul. Paid attendance was 2,054. Haney’s triple in the first round went to the right-field corner. It sent home the first run of the game. Indians and Hens have met twenty times this season, with the Hoosiers in possession of fifteen of the tilts.
