RECRUIT JEAT REDS Cincinnati Crippled by the Absence of Regulars. (National News Association's PITTSBURG. Pa., Sept. 3. The Reds presented a crippled front to the Pirates yesterday afternoon and were bo weak, both on offense and defense, that they fell easy victims to the charms of a young spit-ball pitcher from thp South Atlantic League. Bill Luhrsen is the name of the gentleman who made the Reds look amateurish, and he had previously captured a contest from the Phillies, in which his team made about 16 runs for him. They did not have to score that many on this occasion, for the Red hitting was extremely weak and indifferent, as was, perhaps, to be expected with Manager Tinker, Armado Marsans and Bob Bescher out of the line up. Tinker is still nursing his scalped shin, Marsans is not in shape and Bescher weighed in with a lame prop and asked to be excused. As these three men are the best hitters and run-getters on the club, it left a tremendous hole when they failed to get into the batting order, and the chance of winning, even against a recruit pitcher, was cut down to nothing. Leon Ames struggled nobly against the handicap of poor support at the bat and in the field, and would have held the enemy to a run or two if decently backed up. But the infield, without Tinker to guide the play, is far from being a stone wall and the Pirates got away with a lot of stuff that Joe would have prevented. Especially in touching runners at second base the Red leader is needed. John Kling finally became so disgusted at the way runners were being allowed to remain safe on throws to the bag that he refused to hurl down there, but held the ball when Doland stole in the fifth.

The switching about of the credit for that game together with the victory of the Phillies yesterday and the defeat of the Giants reduces the lead of the Giants to eight full fames. Although the Athletics lost to the Senators yesterday they gained half a game over the Naps due to the double defeat suffered by the Naps at

Lynch Reverses the Ruling Brennan Made New York Not Credited With Game Forfeited by the Philadelphia Club Last Saturday New York Club May Appeal to the National Commission.

(National News Association) NEW YORK, Sept. 3. President Thomas J. Lynch, of the National league, yesterday decided in favor of Philadelphia the game of last Saturday, which Umpire Bill Brennan forfeited to New York. This game, was played in Philadelphia. The arbiter took this action 20 minutes after Manager Dooin, of the Quakers, refused to instruct the police to clear a space of the center-field bleacher territory of spectators who had crowded into it when New York took its turn at bat. These spectators, in the opinion of Bill Brennan, interfered with New York's chances and his own task because, while directly in front of the batter, they deliberately waved their arms. Undoubtedly Brennan's act in forfeiting the game was in every sense of the word a "precedent," as President Lynch terms it. Also, Mr. Lynche's decision is a precedent. Here is his ruling: "In all cases where protest is lodged against the result of a championship game the umpire's statement of fact is of most importance, and whenever an umpire, in making a decision, Is supported by the rules of the game, I will back him to the limit. "The official report of Umpire Brennan covering the game forfeited to New York in Philadelphia August 30 shows that neither club had complained of existing conditions regarding the spectators, and that the umpire plainly went beyond his authority in declaring a forfeiture, for which action he had neither the protection of the regular playing rules nor of any special ground rules. The umpire was clearly at fault in not having the game played to a finish. "As Mr. Brennan's ruling is without precedent I waive all technical procedure in ruling on this protest in order that a prompt disposition of the affair may be had and the best interests of the game may be served. Acting sole the hands of the white sox. The Athletics now lead the American league by 7 games. The cubs dealt out a double defeat yesterday to the Cardinals, grabbing off the first game 5 to 3 and the second game 6 to 1. "Big Jim" Vaughn, former Yankee twirler, who Is attempting to "come back" allowed the Cardinals only three hits in the second game. The Red Sox trimmed the Yankees in easy fashion yesterday, touching up McHale, the recruit New York twirler, for ten hits. The Braves played rings around the Giants yesterday and took an easy victory 5 to 2. Eppa Jeppa Rixey, the tallest southpaw in capitvity, pitched the Phillies to a victory over the Dodgers yesterday, aiding in the battle with his huge war club with which he poled out a triple that put the game on ice. Luhrsen, the Pirate pitcher, secured from the Albany New York Club, pitched his second game for his team yesterday, downing the Reds 5 to 2. Shawkey, the Athletics" young twirler, after pitching masterly ball for seven Innings faltered and the senators jumped upon him for two runs which were enough to win the game. Pitcher John Pieh (pronounced like the desserl) has reported to the Yankees. He came from Dayton, Ohio, where he gained quite a reputation. SPORTING NOTES PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 3. A warrant charging William Brennan, National league umpire, with assault and ! battery and inciting to riot, was is(sued here on the complaint of Henry I F. Russell, superintendent of the Art Club of Philadelphia, who claims he was injured by the umpire during the disorder which followed the forfeiture to New York of the game at the local National league park Saturday. Mr. Russell charges Brennan, in his efforts to get out of the park, pommeled him and knocked him to the ground, where he was trampled on by the crowd. ST. LOUIS. Sept. 3. Manager Mil ler Huggins of the St Louis Nationals, has telegraphed the owners of the Battle Creek (Mich.) club to deliver at once Shortstop Callahan and Pitcher Niehaus. recently purchased by St. Louis. He also telegraphed to Outfielder Quinlan of Scranton, Pa., to report at once. KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 3. The Appalachian league season closed today. By winning yesterday's game Knoxville cinched first place for the second half of the season. Johnson City, winner of first place in the first half, will play Knoxville a series of seven games to decide the winner of the pennant. MILWAUKEE, Sept. 3. Hrry Clark, Milwaukee's fighting third baseman and manager, who has piloted his team to the top of the American Association this year, when most of the sporting editors about the circuit picked Milwaukee for the second di-

.of the Day

ly upon Umpire Brennan's statement 1 am compelled to set aside his decision forfeiting this game to New York 9 to 0. The game will be counted in the records for Philadelphia by 8 to 6, this being the score when said game was stopped in the ninth Inning through error of the umpire." President Lynch evidently made a quick get-away after handing down his ruling. He had stated to a reporter earlier in the afternoon that he would take no action on Philadelphia's protest for some time, and insinuated that the protest would be allowed to drag through the usual routine channels of ten days. As a matter of fact President Lynch will not be allowed to dismiss the case so easily if New York counts for anything in the National league. It is questionable under the constitution of the parent major league if the Giants will be able to carry an appeal from Mr. Lynch's decision to the Board of Directors of the National league. If so privileged they will do so. Ordinarily they might appeal, but the action taken upon this "precedent" sets it aside as an exceptional case. When , informed of President Lynch's decision, President Hempstead, of the Giants, said he would be unable to make a statement at this time as to his club's probable course. "I have not heard from President Lynch, but expect to hear from him today," Mr. Hempstead said. "I do not know what reasons Lynch has for changing Umpire Brennan's decision and for the present I wish to think the matter over. We may and may not take it before the board of directors." President Hempstead denied that he would make any charges against Manager Dooin of Philadelphia, for some of the things Dooin has been quoted as saying after Saturday's forfeiture. "Dooin said a few rash things, said Hempstead, "but considering his statement of excitement at the time, I did not pay any attention to them." vision, today signed a two years' contract to manage the team. Mrs. Agnes Havenor, owner, refused to divulge the terms of the contract. BOSTON, Mass., Sept. 3. Patrick Martin, a southpaw pitcher, purchased reoently by the New York Americans from the Lawrence (Mass.) club of the New England league, has reported to Manager Chance. PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 3. Pitcher Jack Coombs has had a recurrence of his old trouble and today was forced to return to bed. Manager Mack and the club physician announced that the twirler will be unable to don a uniform again this season. HAD A ROUGH TIME Nearly Ridden Down Twice in Race With Long Sought at Dayton. A number of Richmond persons saw Mayor Zimmerman drive Long Sought to fourth money yesterday afternoon at Dayton in the 2:17 pace, the most sensational race in which the mayor has ever driven. In the five heats run, three of them were marked by accidents, in two of which Mayor Zimmerman figured. The mayor ran 2-3-3-4-4. In the fourth heat, the competition was strong, as there were three tied for first. Mayor Zimmerman had the pole with Long Sought, when the second horse was forced against the mayor by another driver who was attempting to drive No. 2 into a pocket. The man picked for the frame-up re- ! fused tp be held, however, and ran i his horse into Mayor Zimmerman! the wheel of his sulky mounting the sulky on which "Doc" sat. and almost overturned it. In order to pull away, the man cut his horse with the whip and drove his sulky across the mayor's leg. No. 2's horse was then thrown against the sulky to the right and both sulkies and horses went down. Mayor Zimmerman pulled up in time to prevent running over them and secured only a fourth in "what would have been his best race had it not been for the accident. In another heat, a driver trying to nose "Doc" away from the pole, drove j his animal on top of the mayor. "Doc" maae a rapid getaway with a spurt or speed and escaped injury or disqualification and ran in third. In one race a sulky threw a tire, almost causing a collision, which was prevented by headwork and skilful driving. No one was injured beyond a few bruises. Although the mayor had intended running Long Sought without the hobbles, the trainer had them on when the mayor arrived, so they were not taken off. The mayor is firmly convinced that the straps are detrimental to Long Sought's - action and wu not use them at the Indianapolis fair races, Friday, September 12. As Long Sought has now become a center of interest to local racing fans, the mayor is determined that he will get more speed out of his long gaited bay gelding. The training has not been what it should, the animal having received only one workout a week since he hae been pa the circuit

THIRTY C0M:S ARE REPRESENT! D At Farming Congress Which Will Be Held at Tulsa in October. (National News Association) TULSA, Okla., Sept. 3. Men from thirty nations of the world will meet in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in October of this year, to talk about farming. Exhibits of good crops from twenty states and a dozen countries will be shown at the same time and place at the eighth annual session of the International Dry-Farming Congress, a world-wide organization for better farming which has branch offices in nineteen nations and members in sixty. Delegates already appointed insure for Tulsa the largest international representation which has ever been seen in an agricultural convention in America. Along with the foreigners will come at least fourteen governors of states, scores of congressmen and tens of thousands of real farmers who will visit Tulsa to study methods whereby they may increase the yield per acr of their own farms. In the exposition to be held in con nection with the eighth Congress, Chinese farmers will compete with those of the United States for world's prizes on cotton, corn, kafir corn, milo maize, millet, wheat, rye and barley. Wheat from Russia and Australia and Argentina will compete with the wheat of Canada and the United States. Cotton from California will come into competition with cotton from Oklahoma and Texas. Corn from Mexico will compete with corn from Missouri and Kansas. Oats from Saskatchewan, Minnesota, Oregon, Utah, Nevada and New Mexico will contest for supremacy with oats grown in Oklahoma, Kansas, Russia and Australia. Six great buildings with more than 100,000 square feet of floor space will be devoted entirely to crops grown U regions of small rainfall where dry farming is practiced. Eighty acres of land will be used for a complete farm machine show and tillage and power demonstration. Dry-farming, so-called, is said by farm scientists to be merely better farming. It was once supposed to apply only to those districts which get less than 20 inches of rainfall annually. In recent years it has been demonstrated that its principles are as vital in regions of frequent or occasional drouth, no matter what the rainfall, as in districts which are known as semi-arid. Dry farming as now known is merely a system of soil tillage whereby farmers may reduce evaporation and may establish a storage reservoir in the soil which will hold the rainfall until they are ready to use it. A remarkable illustration Aof this was given at the government experiment farm in Lichtenburg, South Africa, in 1912, where 17 bushels of wheat per acre were grown under a more nations, covering every conti nent on the globe, will meet in Tulsa from October 22 to November 1 to study the proposed methods for the conquest of drouth throughout the world. More than fifty tons of tickets are issued each year by one of England's railroad. "
