STONEWALLS CRUMBLE BEFORE FAST GOING EAGLE NINE SUNDAY

The Muncie Stone Walla crumbled before the onslougbt of the Richmond l Eagles In the game at Exhibition park ! bunday toerore a crowd or about eou local fans, by a final score of 14 to 0. The birds started scoring early In the game and after the first two innings, the result of the game was never in doubt. Manager Charles Ashenfelter sent the best lineup he has had this Beason into the game and they worked together perfectly. Not an error was chalked up against tho local aggregation all afternoon. "RvrlrAt wna Yistrlr at hi nld RflTtd AH the initial sack after being out of the J eame for a few weeks and Riley, a former third baseman with the Cortnersvllle Minute Men, was in charge ' of things at the hot corner. Snyder, who had been playing first in the absence of Byrket, was shifted to the center garden. Harmon allowed J. Boyd, the first man up, a two-bagger but the next three batsmen were blanked and Boyd died at third. Harmon struck out two men in the opening frame. When the Eagles flew in to bat for the first time, Logan drew a two-bagger and Winner . followed with a single but Logan, attempting, to steal third, was thrown out in a run-down. Riley got a tingle and Snyder ecored both M inner and Riley on his drive. Byrket singled and Snyder was caught off at second. Fitzgibbons grounded out to short and retired the side. Eagles Score Often. From, then on until the sixth inning the Eagles alternated the inning3 by scoring two and then three runs each frame, never allowing the colored boys from Muncie a chance to score until the seventh. In this frame, the Stone " Walls got two men on and tho batter drove a hot one to Minner at short. The darkies hugged the sacks and the runner was easily thrown out at first. The birds registered tallies in every session except the sixth when Byrket and Ewbanks popped to the infield and Fitzgibbons grounded out. The locals had their own way. with the opposing twirlers and only had three strikeouts marked up against them when the story was told. Johnson started on the mound for the visitors but was ry placed in tho third inning by Lewis. Lewis had a little better form than did his predeessor but was not there often enough to stop the Eagle attack. The score: Muncie AB R H PO Bovd. lb 5 0 2 8 A 0 1 0 1 2 1 0 1 3 1 0 Smith.

BROWNS TOP LEAGUE; CARDINALS MOVE UP (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, July 31. The pennant chasine St. Louis Browns, without the services of George Sisler and Bank Severeid, but with able hurling by Wright and Kenneth Williams' twentyfifth home run have moved into first place again. Their fellow citizens, the Cardinals, nosed a game from Robinson's Dodger3 and gained a length on the Giants, who dropped their second straight contest to the Pittsburghers. The upward movement . of the Browns was due to the defeat of the Yankees by the White Sox, 6 to 5, as well as their own 4 to 1 victory over the Duganless Red Sox. Waite Hoyt, the Yankee star, was ineffective in six innings against the Chicagoans, who found his delivery for 12 hits. Ty Cobb had another good day at bat and so did his men defeating the Athletics 7 to 2. Cleveland with Uhle in hurling form and his teammates in a batting mood, won from Washington 11 to 3. Pittsburgh homeruns again proved the undoing of the Giants. Max Carey, who drove for the circuit on two occasions Saturday duplicated his feat, and Russell, another Saturday home runner, added another to his gtring. Besides, Morrison was In better pitching form than Douglas. In Brooklyn, the Cardinals took advantage of a couple of infield bobbles to win 3 to 2. The victory cost Brooklyn its hold on fifth place as the Pirates moved there. New Paris Shut Out Sunday By Lynn Independent Nine LYNN, July 31. The reorganized Lynn Independents shut-out New Paris here Sunday afternoon, 8 to 0. The pitching of Arnstt held up Lynn and he did not allow the visitors a hit dur-ine-th entire game. He fanned 13 hatters while the opposing hurler struck out but four. The Independents are now going at their old time clip and are strong enough to show the teams in this section a real game of baseball. Score H. E.

Eldorado batters collected seven hits while the New Madison nine hit Juday for six safeties. Errors on the part of New Madison were responsible for the numerous Eldorado tallies.

BASEBALL MARKETS HAVE BUSY WEEK (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, July 31. The baseball markets of Gotham and the Hub have closed a busy week. First, Harry Frazee, the well-known tradesman of the Red Sox, engaged in a game of barter with the owners of the Yankees and besides the unusual number of players exchanged, it was reported that Frazee got something "to boot." In the deal the Yanks got a third baseman one Joe Dugan, considered by them and others as one of the best in the game. With him came Elmer Smith, heralded as a hitter of no mean ability and a fielder of some accomplishments. To the Red Sox went Wilson Feaster, a fast man, to be used as a third sacker; Mitchell, a substitute short stop, and outfielder Elmer Miller. Then the National league tradesmen of New York and Boston got busy, and Hugh McQuillan, a young pitcher with great promise, came to the Giants who gave to the Braves a "substantial sum," said to be in six figures; Fred Toney, a veteran with a great record; Larry Benton, a young pitcher sent to the Memphis club by the Giants, and Walter Houlihan, a left handed pitch ing star from Middlebury college, Vermont, In order to engineer the deal the Giants sent Cecil Al Causey, a relief pitcher, to the Indianapolis club of the American association and ordered Pat Shea, who was sent to Indianapolis under an optional agreement to report to the Memphis club. McQuillan and Toney were to report to their new clubs today. The Reds took a layoff at Boston. Many of them went on short excursions, others went swimming in all. they did not waste the valuable layoff they had. It was their first vacation in semething near a month, having played a game of ball each day.

BOUSH IS ON DECK, BUT MORAN DECLINES TO CHANGE LINE-UP BOSTON, July 31. Just as Was pre-i dieted, Manager Pat Moran does not know what to do with Eddie Itoush, now that he is in a Red uniform and ready to play. The crack center fielder has declared himself ready to play and has shown his real batting eye in a few of the eastern games recently. Moran values the services of George Burns in centcJoo .much to take him off and out of the lead-off position and Duncan and Harper are going too good in the other fielding positions to take them out of the regular batting order. Inasmuch as Burns has served as one of the best lead-off men for th Reds, Moran declares that it would be a mistake to take him out of center field to make way for Roush. Burns gets too many bases on balls and timely singles to think of benchin.-; him. If Burns was taken off, the only likely lead-off man would be Babe Pinelli, and this would change the entire order of batting. May Get Chance Roush may get in some of the remaining Boston games if things go bad for Moran's men, but the Red leader does not intend to break up his win ning combination unless one player is injured or a bad slump is (hit. The Reds were to get into action at Boston Monday after a day off on Sunday. With a double win in the opening day at Boston on G. vrday, the boys appreciated the lay-off on Sunday and were in excellent shape to start off for the four remaining games with the Boston nine. Cactus Keck was to get his chance to start his own game in Monday's affair. DUBLIN LEGION WINS FROM BENTONVILLE DUBLIN, Ind., July 31.

Chicago American Fans "Razz" Yankee Players fBy Associated Press) CHICAGO, July 31. Chicago American fans, whose hopes for a possible look-in on the part of the 1922 world series recently have been bolstered by the White Sox' fight which has put them within four and a half games of first place, are "razzing" the former Boston players whose recent acquisi tion by New York was expected to strengthen that club in its pennant bid. In yesterday's game, when the Sox pulled the Yankees back into sec ond place, Joe Dugan came in for a great amount of booing. When Joe made a wild throw in the fourth, one bug, with a megaphone and leather lungs, yelled: "Hey, Joe, you can't "do that in the big league; better watch out or the Colonels will send you back to the second team."

MONDAY, JULY 31, 1922.

AND WATER PLANE. - 'r Chips and Slips George Uhle, young Cleveland pitch er, has finally found himself. He now forms one of the trium-virate of hurlers that Tris Speaker Is depending ! . V . Jl J-t- in uPun la als vlcscuv ueauiuuj vv the top. Guy Morton and Coveleskie are the other two. ! Uhle joined the Indians in the fall of 1919 direct from the sandlots of Cleveland. His name had been on the lips of a hundred thousand amateur baseball followers in .the Forest City and every move he made with the Indians was watched and chronicled with interest. George gave the fans food for talk by winning ten games that first season in the big show. The following season, however, he failed to get going. Injuries handicapped him. His failure to hit a winning gait had a bad mental effect on him. The papers, devoted much time to doping out his condition and chances for returning to the mound. He felt that al! eyes were turned on him whenever he moved. He won only four games and lost five that year the season the Indians won the pennant. Last year he lurned in sixteen victories and lost thirteen games. This spring he was a victim of the poor training conditions the Indians faced. When he failed to hit his stride in the spring the fans decided it was a mental ailment. They lost interest in him. That was what he needed that and a stretch of warm weather. He has pitched shutout and low hit ball in the Indians' winning streak. Uhle is twenty-four. He's a native of Cleveland. "I've had a hard day," said the tired business man aboard the evening tram for home. "One of my office boys asked for an afternoon off to attend his aunt's funeral. So being on to his scheme, as I thought, I said I'd go along too." His friend chuckled. "Great idea! Was it a good game?" "That's where I lost out," sadly ad mitted the man of business. "It was his aunt's funeral!" They hit for the circuit Sunday: High, Brooklyn; Russell, Pittsburgh; Carey, Pittsburgh, 2; King, Toledo; Griffin and 31yatt Milwaukee; Gleason, Columbus; Wade, Minneapolis, 2; Jacobson and Williams, St. Louis Browns; Menosky, Boston Americans; Miller, Philadelphia Athletics. St. Louis Browns took the lead from the New York Yankees by winning Sundav from Boston while the Chieaen II margin of lead now is by seven points. Richmond Eagles put a fast, classy 1 j lineup into tho field with the supposedly strong Muncie Stonewalls, but the visitors were too weak to show much opposition and the strong lineup just walked all over the colored boys. Riley cavorted at third base in j fine style, and Don Byrkett looked fa miliar at his old berth at first has?. Snyder, who played first while Byrkett was absent, went into center field and took care of things cleverly. Lynn Aces Fall Before Hitting of Whitewater WHITEWATER, July 31. Whitewater defeated the Lynn Aces on the home diamond Sunday afternoon, 5 to 1.

Fred Toney Received His Pitching Training Playing i'Drap 'Em Daid ft (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, July 31. Fred Toney, veteran pitcher who figured in the Boston Braves-New York Giants trade of yesterday got his start in life with a pile of rocks and another of tin cans. The "man mountain" as Fred has come to be known in baseballdom grew into strapping manhood in the picturesque mountains of lennessee, Down in the hills they don't have enoueh level ground foe a baseball diamond and to this day the game is in many sections, unknown. And so it was in Fred's section. But the mountain folk have their sports horseback stunts and various other games. When Fred was a boy he and his fellows played a game called "Drap 'em daid." This consisted of placing tin cans. or bottles, when such things could be had, on sticks stuck on the mountain - side and throwing rocks about the size of a mountaineer's fist at them. Every fellow had a certain numbers of "heaves" and to the winner all other competitors gave so many rounds of rifle ammunition. They say Fred kept his whole family supplied with cartridges. So one day, as the story goes, a "furriner" from Winchester, Ky., visited up Fred's way. He saw Fred play "drap 'em daid" and hurried back to town with the story. So Fred went to Winchester, started throwing baseballs over the plate, and was given a job. And now, down in Fred's home chuntry whenever they get hold of a newspaper telling that he's won a game, they say: "He drapped 'em daid." It is estimated that 1,700 . persons used counterfeit tickets to witness the Leonard-Tendler fight held in Jersey City Thursday night. Even at that. the receipts netted each fighter quite a fortune for their trouble of little over half an hour. Largest stock of high-grade Bicycles at lowest prices. ELMER S.

OLD TIME-PITCHERS-THOUGHT 50 GAMES PER SEASON SOFT By FHAVK G. MKNKH It's more than 30 years 6ince the brotherhood war in baseball bet the players in all the years since then and for all the years to come have reaped richly from Its benefits. The idea which prompted the play ers to secede from the National league was to secure better working conditions and better pay. They formed a league of their own, designed to bring about Euch a result; they hoped for a sort of mutual profit sharing outcome for their league. The league "blew." Many of the rebel players never got back Into the game: But that outbreak by the ball players of 1890 taught the baseball magnates a needed lesson. It awakened them to the fact that they couldn't work their players especially the pitchers too hard, and that they had to pay better wages. It needs but a glimpse through the record books of bygone days to become alive to' the vast difference between a ball player's lot prior to 1890 and that of today. ' In the early days teams operated with an average of 10 players. A few carried 11; some only had nine. In the latter case, two of the players'' usually were pitchers, who, on off days played outfield or first base. It was a lucky pitcher in that age of baseball who was worked less than 50 games- And those were full nineinning games; not a few full game workouts mixed up with many relier duty combats. Old Time Records "Old Hoes" Charlie Radbourne worked in 72 games in 1884. A season later John Clarkson pitched 70 games in 1889; Clarkson tied Radbourne's record by pitching 72. When it is noted that Radbourne had an average of .838 for his 72, and that Clarkson pitched for .780 in his 72 an idea is gained of the remarkable pitching prowess of both. The late Al Sparlding hung up a pitching record from 1872 to 1876 which seems absolutely certain to last through eternity. In those five seasons he pitched 290 games an average of 58 per year and had a grand pitching mark of .793. The detailed record of Spalding follows: Year Team Pitched 1872 Boston ........ 47 1873 Boston 60 1784 Boston ....60 1875 Boston .; . .62 Pet. .830 .729 .717 .899 .702 1876 Boston 60 Johnny Ward, later a caDtain and shortstop for the Giants, pitched 65 games in 1879 for a mark of .702. An other hard worker was Jimmy Whitney who, in 1883 .was on the mound 62 times for Boston, finishing with .683. Bill Hutchison worked in 63 games in 1891 the "last of the Mohicans." Modern Records. The work record for modern day twisters is held by Ed Walsh, of the White Sox. In 1908, the king of all spitballers actually participated in 66 games. But some of them were onlv relieving affairs. Walsh worked 464 innings, which constitutes about 52 full games. Of the 66 games in which Walsh figured that year, 11 were decisionless as far as his work was concerned. Those games either were surely won or hoprlessly lost before he took his place on the firing line. But of the 55 decision tilts he emerged triumphant in 40, giving him an average of .727. Four years earlier in 1904 both Jack Chesbro, of the Yankees, and "Iron Man" McGinnity, of the Giants, performed some herculean tasks. Chesbro figured in 53 games, for a winning mark of .774. McGinnity pitched in 51 games working frequent doubleheaders and completci the year with the average of .814. But since the days of Chesbro, "Iron Man" Joe and Walsh, the pitchers have become a frail and ever frailer lot. If anyone works in more than 25 games he reckons he ought to have a medal. A few have pitched 30 games a year and immediately put in an application for a Carnegie hero medal. And even rarer practically negligible few have labored somewhat beyond that and ever since have figured they earned the whole Carnegie hero fund. (Copyright l2t Hy Kins Feature Syndicate. Idc.) Umpire Stops Ball Game So Fans Can See Fight (By United Press) KINSTON, N. C, July 31. Umpli Rube Brandon, veteran baseball player, held up a game between the Kin1 ston Bandits and New Bern club of the Eastern Carolina league three minutes so the fans could witness a fight.

The affray was over when the police arrived, the 2,500 fans were satisfied, and the obliging Brandan yelled to the , players to "get busy."
