RAY CHAPMAN DIES OF SKULL WHEN

FRACTURED HIT BY PITCHED BALL

(By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Aug. 17 Raymond Chapman, short-stop of the Cleveland American baseball team, who was hit on the head by a ball thrown by pitcher Carl Mays. In yesterday's game with New York Americans, died In the St. Lawrence hospital at 4:30 o'clock this morning. He never regained consciouness after an operation, which was hurriedly decided on after mid-night, when a portion of his fractured skull was removed by surgeons, who hoped against hope That he might recover. Shortly before it was decided to operate. Manager Tris Speaker, already deeply apprehensive of his condition, telephoned news of the accident to Chapman's wife in Cleveland, who Immediately started for New York. News of his death cast gloom over the members of both teams, and the baseball world In general, and It was considered quite problematical early today that today's game would be called off. CarL' Mays was overcome with grief when the news was told to him. The accident occurred at the outset of the fifth inning. Chapman was the first batter up and was hit by the first ball pitched. So terrific was the blow that the report of the impact caused spectators to think the ball had struck his bat. Mays, who pitched the ball, acting under this impression, fielded the ball that rebounded half-way to the pitcher's box and threw it to first base In order to retire Chapman. Collapses at Plate Then it was noticed that Chapman had collapsed at the home plate. He was lifted to his feet by other players, then he stood dazed for a moment staggered and crumpled at their feet. Physicians were called from the grandstand, and they administered first aid, still not knowing that he had suffered a fractured skull. Two players with Chapman's arms about their shoulders, started to walk him off the field. He appeared to walk at first almost unaided but a few moments later his legs became limp, and he had to be carried bodily to an ambulance. In baseball circles it was believed that Chapman's death would seriously

hamper Cleveland's chance of capturing the American league pennant. He was a veteran and one of the mainstays of the team. CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 17. Raymond Chapman was born in McHenry. Kentucky, January 15, 1891. He had been a member of the Cleveland American League team since August 30, 1912, and was considered one of the best shortstops and most popular players in the game. Chapman played his first professional baseball in 1909 with Mount Vernon, 111. In 1910 he went to Springfield, 111., and from there to Davenport, la., in the Three-I League. . Cleveland first obtained Chapman from Davenport In 1911, and sold him to Toledo in the American association on option. He was recalled to Cleveland in 1912 and bad played in more than 1,000 games In an Indian uniform. Chapman was one of the fastest men In baseball. On Sept. 27, 1917, Tim Murnane day at Boston, he won a loving cup for the fastest time in circling the bases, doing it in 14 seconds. In 1917 he broke all major league sacrifice hit records with a total of 67, and also led the American League in sacrifices in the following two years. He was married last year to Cath

arine Daily, of Cleveland, daughter of M. B. Daly, president of the East Ohio Gas company.

Centerville Gains Hold on Suburban Championship Centerville gained the first hold on the Suburban league championship, Sunday afternoon, when it defeated Eldorado 6 to 1 Eldorado reports its team was off form tut it remains that Centerville played a great game. Mike Knott, Centervile hurler, allowed but five hits. His fast ball was made more effective by the overcast skies. Diffendaffer, Cfeagor and Hunt played the best game for the winners. It was believed Sunday afternoon that the game would not be played. The scrap was started about 4 p. m. Thus the announcement Monday that the game was called off. The New Madison-Whitewater game at Whitewater was the only Suburban league game that was not played.

Suburban League Men To Confer Tuesday Night Suburban league managers will confab in the Y. M. C. A. lobby Tuesday night.

(By Associated Press) ANTWERP, Aug. 17. Today's Olympic events included the first and second series in the 10,000 meter walk and elimination events in the broad jump and the shotput, which were contested this forenoon. The afternoon program included the first series in the 110 metre hurdles, the final in the broad jump and the final in the 6,000 metre run. Interest in today's events was stimulated by the announcement that King Albert would attend, and that America would be represented in the cheering by American boy scouts, who attended the London scout "jamboree" and who will sail for the V.. on board the transport Matoika on which the American Olympic team came to Europe. . Finals for the purpose of decided third place in the foils competition in the Olympic fencing bouts were also on the program for today. American fencers yesterday defeated Denmark by 9 bouts to 7, but lost to France, 14 to 2. Italy took first place in the foils

by defeating France, 9 to 7, France thus winning second place. Contests with individual foils and in team duelling swords competition began today. Major F. W. Hones'cutt, Capt. R. Sears, Captain H.

YANKEE APPEARANCE HERE IS DOUBTFUL

Hundreds of local baseball fans eagerly await word from the Richmond Exhibition company as to whether the New York Yankee team will play an exhibition game here next Monday. Elmer Eggemeyer, president of the Richmond Exhibition company, said word from the Yankee- management is expected Tuesday. A telegram explaining conditions and interest here was sent Saturday. Eggemeyer is not overly enthusiastic over prospects for the Yankees' appearance here. Advertisements have appeared in Toledo and New York papers, he says, that the Yankees are to play an exhibition game with the Toledo American association team Monday. If these advertisements are true, Eggemeyer said, it will mean that the Yankees will not come. One organized

baseball clut cannot cancel an exhibition game without paying the other team a large forfeit. The advertisements in the Toledo papers say the largest guarantee ever known for an exhibition game will be given the Yankees by the Toledo management. The Toledo park will hold about 12,000 persons.

ITEM AND I. H. C. CHALLENGE HIMES-TELEPHONE WINNER The Item and I. H. C. baseball teams are "set" to challenge the winner of the Himes Dairy-Home Telephone scries. The Item thinks its team is as strong as either of the leaders. George Hodge, of the I.H. C. league, thinks his team is stronger. It is possible that the Harvester and the Item teams may get together for a series of games and the winner may play the winner of the Telephone-Dairy series. The second game of the latter series will be played at Exhibition park, on Tuesday afternoon. The Telephones won the first game by a 2 to 1 count If they win Tuesday's game, the series will be completed.

SOUTH TWENTY-SECOND TOURNEY CALLED OFF Because of inability to asemble contestants at proper time, the annual tennis tourney at the playgrounds on South Twenty-second street, has been called off. It was generally conceded, however, that Shel Simmons would cop the singles championship and Jim Harrington paired with Shel Simmons would win the doubles. Other entries did not show sufficient class in preliminary games to warrant dope favoring them instead of the favorites. "Y" PLANS ATHLETICS FOR CHAUTAUQUA CAMPERS The Richmond Y. M. C. A. is planning its usual athletic activity for Chautauqua campers this year. Definite plans are being worked out. These probably will include the erection of a volley ball net and court. Indoor baseball equipment will probably be on hand for the twilight games that gained such popularity last year.

CONNERSVILLE CLUB SHOOT ON LABOR DAY

The newly organized gun club of Connersville will have an invitational shoot on Labor Day, whether or not the Quaker City Gun Club has an invitational shoot on the same day, according to a decision reached at a meeting in Harter's shop Monday night. All members of the local organiza

tion favor a shoot on Labor Day but do not feel like competing with Connersville. It is probable that Richmond shooters will enter the shoot at Connersville if it is held. It was decided Monday night that a club shoot be held on the first and third Thursdays of each month. A suitable trophy, donated by one of the ammunition companies, would be given the club member . making the best score of the month. The first of these will be held Thursday. . f BOSTON EMERGES VICTOR IN SCRAP WITH LYNN NINE Boston finaly emerged with the long end of a 9 to 8 score over Lynn at Lynn, Sunday afternoon.
