ERS

Not being satisfied with Elmer Maagfr as his pitcher for tomorrow's same with Hammond. Manager Harry Cohen of the Dodger Trainings has signed Tom MoGuire to do the hurling against the locals. McGulre, who is now the property of the Chicago White Sox was loft at home- on their last trip and Cohn was fortunate In being able to grab him for this one game. Only two weeks ago McGulre was loaned by the Sox to the Paxtou. 111., team for an Important same which they hid with Teorla of the Three-I league and all that he did that day waa to shut out Peoria without a hit. Aside from pitching a nohit, no run game, McGulre struck out 1U men and only 2 7 batters faced him in nine innings. He will try and duplicate rha same feat tomorrow against Hammond's team of clouters, while his n ates will be expected to pile up a lead on Baichley. Cohen has anrlounced the following? lineup for tomorrow's game: "renin, 3b; Knyble, ss; Rudolph, cf; Haude. 2b; Dann, If; Kropf. lb; Heilman, rf; Olson, c; McGulre, p. With Baichley doing the mound work for Hammond the home team will not be lacking in pitching as Baich Is now showing in his best form, having trimmed the highly reputed bunch of sluggers representing the Standard Oil Co. on last Saturday afternoon when the General American Tank Car Corporation hung the first defeat of the season on the team from the oil city. Baichley struck out 15 men in this game and allowed only a few scattered hits and If he Is In the same shape tomorrow a pitchers battle is sure to result between Baichley and McGulre. John Callahan, manager of the Losan Squares called Nagel over the long distance phone this morning to tell him to be sure and let the Hammond fans know that he Intends using Phil Douglass. ex-Cuh and New York Giant pitchr In Monday's game against the local !cara. Callahan promised In case he was forced to use Douglass tomorrow Kgainst the Toledo Rail Lights, that he would at least work him a few Innings so as to give Hammond fans a glimpse ff the big league 6tax In action against their favorites. Regardless of who Pitches for the visitors. Buckeye will be on the mound for the home team and if he is Tight, like he was last Sunday, they will have their troubles in trying to score off of his southpaw delivery.

Praise of Jack Dempsey for the way in which he took advice during; his training for the fijfht with Jess Willard ana the assertion that he is the best heavyweight of all time are rendered by Jimmy De Forest, who trained the new champion, for the bout. De Forest recently arrived at his home in Long; Branch after Epending a week with Dempsey at Cincinnati, where he appeared with a circus. De Forest also gives Willari credit, for the way he stood up against Dempsey. The ox-like punches of the new champion were terrific and it took a man with plenty of frit to Btand up under them after being mauled about as Willard was, according to the veteran trainer . "It is really distasteful to me to hear anybody say that Jess quit," eays De Forest "The remarkable part of the whole affair was that Willard lasted three rounds. He took a frightful beating, many of his teeth ljncr removed 3t d;fferent times, in addition to being floored often. Jess is as game a man as ever entered the ring, and I bar nobody when I make that stattment." m m m The weak spot in the Cleveland ball club is shown by the fact that thirty-six times this season, up to a recent date, it had been found necessary to derrick the pitcher 'elected to start the game, and on twenty-six of those occasions the original pitcher might just as well have been required to take his medicine for nine innings because the game was rescued only eight times. These figures were conipiled jurt before Fohl resigned. Thirty-two times he picked the right pitcher. That is to say, his selection lasted through the game and won. Six times he picked a pitcher who lasted

until the finish, but was unable toi

win. J

Bagby and Coveleskie are the shining lights. When these gents are good, they are superb. Jim had gone through eleven victories when these figures were compiled. Bagby never losing a game that he pitched throughout, and Coveleskie losing but one out of thirteen such contests. On the other hand, when these same gentlemen are bad, there is a little or no hope. Together they were derricked a total of eleven times, and ten of those games went fluey. Morton'r record has one redeeming feature. When he is lifted, there is still a chance for salvage. Nine times he has been sent to the showers, and three of those games were saved.- Both of the games which Enimann started and did not finish were won by the Indian. Here's the record. The first two columns are not victories and defeats for the pitchers; they are merely a record of the result of the games when a pitcher was derricked. The last two columns are necessarily victories and defeats for the respective pitchers. Started and Started and Taken Out. Finifhed. Pitcher. Won. Lost. Won.

PLAN RICHEST TURF EVENT

Plans are under way to Inaugurate

the richest racing event In the world

It is a futurity to be run in Maryland

with $60,000 in acded money. This, to

gethcr with the fees for naming the mares, would bring the total up to well over $100 000. The plan Is to have each of the Maryland tracks,, Pimlico, Laurel and Havre de Grace, contribute $20,000 each year toward the purse, the race lo be run at each track in turn. R. J. Walden, the well-known Maryland horseman, is the leading spirit In the movement. Both Laurel and Pimlico already have assented to the conditions, and it remains only to obtain the consent of the Havre de Grace officials. The first running of this rich event will be held in 1921. There is hardly a doubt that th race will materialize, as the various Maryland associations are making so much money that they are embarrassed with riches and are at a loss to dispose of their excess profits.
