iu uuiiiloi nnoi PLACE IN SERIES CHICAGO.. ILL, Aug. 18 First place la the National league will be the prise awarded-to the winner of the Red-Brooklyn series at Redland Field, Thursday. Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The two teams met in a series for first place early In July, but honors went to Brooklyn. This time the Reds win only have to break even in the four games ' ' . - " ' The Reds went Into first place Tuesday by copping a great pitcher's battle from the Cuba, while Brooklyn was held up by rain. Hippo Vaughn can - always be counted upon to cause trouble for any club, but Hod EJler, former ehlne-baller, was more than a match for Hippo, Tuesday. - Eller's fast hop was working great as the nine Cub strike-outs will testify. He permitted six hits, but only in one inning did the Cubs manage to bunch them. This happened In the eighth when Robertson hit a homerun, with Flack on base. Qroh continued his batting streak with two out of four. Play All Eastern Teams " Brooklyn heads the Invasion of Redland Field at Cincinnati by eastern teams. Philadelphia opens a fourgame series on Aug. 23. New York furnishes opposition to the Red drive for the National league pennant on Aug. 27, 28 and 29. Boston will close the eastern invasion on Aug. 30, 31 and Sept. 1. With the return of Fisher to hurling form and Saline in shape as a relief pitcher, the Reds are well fortified for the coming eastern invasion. Eller, Luque, Ring. Reuther and Fisher will bear the brunt of the eastern attack. Napier and Schwartz may be i " rfven in nnnortunltv in wnrk a.raint

tjAOY WHEN Atl I EVE. CCXMA OT A NIGHT OOT BRINGING UP FATHER BY McMANUS HUNDREDS GATHER AS CHAPMAN'S BODY ARRIVES AT HOME (By Associated Press CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 18 Hundreds of admirers and friends of Ray Chapman, star short-stop of the Cleveland ball club of the American league, gathered at the Union depot here early today to meet the body of .their idol, who died in New York, yesterday morning. Among those accompanying the body were. Chapman's widowed bride; Manager Tns Sptaker and Joe Wood of the Cleveland team. It was taken in charge by an undertaker, pending definite funeral arangements. Chapman's death occurred in a hosI ital following an operation, after he had been hit on the head by a pitched ball in Monday's game, between New York and Cleveland, and sustained a fractured skull. It was Chapman's eagerness to aid in giving this city its first pennant that indirectly resulted in Chapman's death When he married Miss Kathleen Daly, one of Cleveland's best known society women last October, he was asked if he would retire from the game and devote his time to a business in which he had acquired an interest, "I'll play next year, for I want to help give Tris Speaker and the Cleveland fans the first pennant Cleveland ever had," Chapman replied. "Then I will talk quitting." Star at Many Sports In a field meet against Camp Custer, he took first honors in 100 and 200 yard dashs, his time for the 100 yard being ten seconds. He also was a member of the crack Naval reserve football team, one of the strongest service teams in the country, and the only eleven to defeat Pittsburgh University in 1918. The baseball team, which Chapman captained, was undefeated all season. Members of the Naval reserve club, of which Chapman was an honorary member asked members of his family that they be allowed to hold a military funeral. GIANTS WILL PLAY WINCHESTER BUNCH The Richmond Giants, claimers of the baseball championship of Wayne county, will ramble to Winchester Sunday for a game with the crack semi-pro team of that place. The game will prove a good test for the Giants, as the Winchester team is one of the best in the state. It formerly played under the patronage of Farmland. It now is under the management of Funk's Lake and good crowds turn out for every game. The Giants are not worried, however, as they feel confident that, with the exception of the Indianapolis A. B. C's., they have the best colored baseball team in the state. The Stonewalls, of Muncie, disputed this claim, and won one game out of three. League Standing NATIONAL LEAGUE. Clubs. Won. Lost.

Death Means Loss of Pennant? r

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 18 In the death of Ray Chapman the Cleveland ball club is deprived of the services of the best all around shortstop In the American league. That he cannot be replaced this year, and that with his passing goes the likelihood of Cleveland's winning the pennant. Is the fear of Cleveland fans. In losing Chapman, the Indians loot one of their best batters, their best base runner, the best sacrifice hitter in the American league and one of the most sensational fielders. It was only during the New York series that a Pittsburg baseball writer here for those clashes said: "If Pittsburg had Chapman at short, it would win the National league pennant." The fan at large little knows how much of a factor Chapman has been in the club's success this season and in other years. He had a cheery disposition and bis wonderful vitality and good spirits could not but Instill courage in his teammates. Chapman stirred up the Indians with songs and jokes when they felt gloomy after a defeat and caused them to take on courage for the next game. He was a hard loser himself, but had the faculty of stifling his disappointment and setting about to make his colleagues forget their troubles. In short, he ' showed ability to dispel gloom. Played Clean Baseball He was popular wlierever he played, for he played clean and made friends even among his adversaries. There are few more popular players in the American. Stardom never swelled his head. The rawest rookie found him companlonablei' He would rather sit with a bunch of ball players and relate anecdotes of games than go to the best theater. He would rather play ball than eat. Raymond Johnson Chapman was born in Kentucky in 1891. When Ray was a youngster his father moved to Herrin, 111., and there Ray and Bob Veach, the Detroit outfielder, were teammates on the Herrin amateur team. Each turned professional in 1910, Veach going to Peoria 2.12 Race For $5,000 Is Feature of Day at Belmont (By Associated Press) PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 18. The t feature of the second day's card of the grand circuit meeting at tne Belmont track, Narberth, today was the Winega Stock Farm stake for 2:12 trotters for a purse of $5,000, the richest on the week's program. The entries included Betty Smith, E. Colorado, Hilda Fletcher, Kina Watts, Norman Dillon, Princes Etawah, Peter Lafayette, Peter Manning, Red Russell, Royal Palm and Tara's Hall. The B. F. Keith theatre stake for 2:14 trotters had among the entries Virginia, Charley Herr. Jr., Allowance, Viola Watts, Baroness CochaJo, Miss Clare" Mae, Wiki Wiki, Lotta Watts and Gold Bell. The other stake was the Nawbeekj Stock Farm, for 3-year-olds, and had j Adrion Guy, Conjecture, General Knight. Harvest Horn, Klio, Lucille Harvester, Sir Douglas Haig, Sister Bertha and Great Britton. The Home Telephone team eliminated the Himes Dairymen from the running for the commercial league championship of the city Tuesday afternoon, by copping a well-played game at Exhibition park, five to four. The Telephoners grabbed a three run lead in the first and added another in the third. The Dairymen scored in the first and grabbed two in the third. They tied it in the sixth. The Telephoners won the game in the eighth. With the Dairymen out of the running, the battling Home Telephone team opens a three-game series with the' Item at the playgrounds Friday afternoon. Manager Pickell, of the Item, claims that insomuch as the Item has held the league leadership longer than any other team and only slipped in the last three games of the regular season, it had more of a call on the champ Telephoners than did the Dairymen. ' Manager Patterson of the Telephoners, says a series of games will be played with I. H. C. pennant winner after the Item had been disposed of. Should the Item do the disposing, however, it will take on George Hodge's Harvesters for the commercial championship. IP Is Big Word in Suburban League Talk The "If Deck" is very much in order when the dope for Sunday's suburban league games is juggled. If Centerville defeats Lynn at Centerville and New Madison loses to Eldorado at Eldorado, then Centerville and Eldorado will once more top the league heap. Lynn will drop to second place and New Madison will ease up in third. Whitewater will not affect the league standing, although the game promises to bring out a big crowd. The present standing ol the teams follow : W. L. Pet. Lynn 8 3 .727 New Madison 5 2 .T14 Centerville 7 3 .400 Eldorado 7 3 .700 Boston" u. 7 4 .636 Whitewater 5 5 .500,

A Cleveland scout, Babe Myers, looked him over in 1911 and bought him for the Naps tmt turned him over to Toledo for further development. He was called to the Naps in August, 19$1, reporting the day Harry Davis resigned as manager. He batted .312 thatjast month of the 1912 campaign. His-sensational work at short in 1913 was a big factor in making Cleveland the runner-up to the Athletics most of the year. In sliding to third base on the training trip of 1914, he broke his leg and was out nearly halt of the season. The Indians finished way down in the race as a result. He played a phenomenal game in 1915, but dislocated one of his knees early in 1916 and' was out for 50 games. Since then he has nlaved wonderful ball and been one ' of the greatest stars of the reague. j He has played well over 1,000 games in a Cleveland uniform.

Wrtt OO HAVE TO MC6.T MM " VHM" HAVE. AMERICAN GIANTS CENTER OF INTEREST IN WEIGHT EVENTS (By Associated Press) OLYMPIC STADIUM, ANTWERP. Aug. 18 Friction over the unsatisfactory and disappointing showing of Swedish athletes in the seventh Olympiad games, of which there have been rumors for several days culminated last night, in a report that Ernie Hjartberg, trainer of the team, had requested that he be relieved of further responsibility. The request was made, it is said, to the Swedish Olympic committee, which is not expected to take any action in the matter at this late date. Hjartberg will not go to Paris with the Swedish team, and a number of American athletes who will participate in the triangular games with French stars at Pershing's stadium, on Aug. 29th. American giants were expected to be the center of attention at the Olympic game today, as the participated in shot put, against a formidable field of Europeans and also in the elimination events in the hammer throw, in which they were expected to easily qualify. This year's Olympics, however, held no certainty for American weight men, as European stars in this branch of sport have developed rapidly. Included in today's program were elimination heats in the 5,000 meters obstacle race and finals in the 10,000 metre walk, in which three Americans have qualified; the 110 metre hurdles in which Earl Thompson of Canada, t, ill have strong opposition; the broad jump and the tug of war. Three (Americans, a Swede and a Frenchman will compete with Thompson in the 110 metre hurdles. The preliminary heats in the 1,500 metre race were also run. Talk Over 800 Metre Run Athletes, trainers and experts from all parts of the world, were today still discussing yesterday's 800 metre race, which was declared to be the greats est ever run'. Lawson Robertson, one of the coaches of the American team, said no such field ever competed be fore and that it was the fastest half- j mile ever run, considering the slow I track. All others agreed that if the j race had been run at the Harvard I stadium or at Franklin field. Philadel- j phia, the world's record would have ; certainly been broken. .Many hold the opinion that Earl Eby, of the Chicago eaviest the "Joy 51
