CLEVELAND "DARKHOSE" OF AMERICAN LEAGUE 'PENNANT RACE WITHMOgTON IN FORg
RETURN OF GUY MORTON WILL
MAKE CLEVELAND CONTENDER
, IN AMERICAN LEAGUE RACE
Indians Have Kept Close to Lead, Despite Absence
of Wonderful Hurler for Nine Weeks, and
Are Due for Spurt
rpiIB return of duy Morton to tlio Cleveland Indians completely charges tho
a. pennant aspects In the American League. Two weeks nro, wJicn the Indians
OT In this city, ttobcrt McRoy, vlco president nnd the real boss of tho Cleveland
team Under the now regime, admitted that It was doubtful whether this wonder
fut youngster would bo able to pitch ncaln this season, but Morton's arm has
responded to treatment, and )(e Is now It) perfect trim. To win from tho Athletics
W not an unusual foat, but tho fact that Morton showed Just as much ns at any
tlm this season for soven InnlnRs means that he has entirely recovered from his
injury and Is ready for regular work.
Tho Indians are one and a halt Barnes away from fltst place at tho present
time, and when one considers that Kohl has been able to keep the team within
Striking- distance of the leaders with the team badly crippled, there is every reason
to believe that tho Indians aro due for n spurt. If Cleveland can keep Its posi
tion through the swing around the East, which starts In a wee, the Indians will
look llkoho best bet In Johnson's league, simply because Morton Is rlfiht.
Morton was out of tho game for nlno weeks prior to yesterday. Ills absencs
compelled Fohl to work Covalcsklo po hard that ho soon lost his effectiveness, and
li only returning to form now. Morton Is tho leading pitcher of tho Amorlcan
IaffUo and a youngster capablo of going to the mound every othor day for a
month when ho Is right. Ills loss meant Just as much to tho Indians as tho loss
pt Alexander would to tho Phillies, I'feffor to Urooklyn, Johnson to Washing
ton or the star and mainstay would to any other staff.
The moral effect of Morton's absenco also was felt by the Indians. When
Alexander Is right tho Phillies feel reasonably certain that they can get tho Jump
on tho opposing teams by tnktni; tho drat gamo of tho scries, nnd thoy also feci
that tho Nobraskan can be called upon ns relief pitcher and savo many gnmos In
tho closing days of the race. Without him the Phils would bo weakened 35 per
cent, and so It was with Cleveland wheri Morton was injured.
Red Sox and Cleveland Have II V lanced Teams
ON PAPER tho Indians do not seem to bo ns strong ns tho Whlto Sox, Red
Sox or Drowns, but tho fact remains that Kohl's team, even in a crippled
condition, has been ablo to hold Its own, while It outclassed tho Meld until Morton
yras Injured. Morton won eleven games up to tho second week In June, a record
vhlch was equalled by no other mujor lcaguo pitcher excepting Alpxnndor. When
Morton was Injured ho was ono gamo behind Alexander In games won, nnd had
lost ono less, so It Is easy to see Just what his absence hioant to tho Indians. Thoy
enjoyed a. four-game lead on tho day that Morton was compelled to leave n. gamo
because he strained a tondon In his arm.
Tho Browns liavo proved beyond a doubt that thoy are going to bo very
much In tho rnco, and tho recent spurt of the White Sox would Indicate that Row
land's team has at last found its stride. We are Inclined to bollovo, however, thnt
tlio Whlto Sox spurt wns duo moro to tho weak opposition present'", by tho
Athletics and Now York than to exceptional playing by Rowland'H men.
All teams havo found tho crippled Ynnkces and tho tall-end Mnckmcn easy,
and Chicago climbed Into tho lead more because of tho poor work of tho eastern
teams than to their own brilliant playing. Tho Whlto Sox aro considered tho
favorite by many critics becauso thoy have n long stretch of homo games, but
bo havo Cleveland nnd St. Louis, and wo bollovo that thoy will both provo stronger
teams in. a pinch than tho Whlto Sox.
St. Louts has gone beyond tho "flash stago," and every contendor fears Jones's
team, but It has yet to provo that It has tho balance so noticeable In tho Red
Sox and the Indians. Tho fans havo marveled nt tho ability of tho Red Sox to
climb Into tho ra6o after losing Speaker, and they nlso have wondered how
Cleveland has stayed up with the leaders, but balance Is tho answer. In a raco
Which may not bo decided until tho la3t week of tho season, balanco Is a wonder
fulasset, and for this reason Boston and Cleveland seem to have' the best chnnco,
now that tho Indians havo their full strength In tho field.
Brooklyn Kcfuses to Crack
ANOTHER week has passed, and Brooklyn Is still holding its lead In tho
il National League,' with the Phillies and Braves unnblo to gain. It Is becoming
apparent .that tho only way tho Phillies nnd Boston can overhaul Brooklyn is to
-Hjjpull tho Dodgers down when these teams meet Robinson's league leaders, as tho
'western teams havo proved too weak to offer much opposition against the
threo pennant contenders of the East.
Tho Phillies must keep right on fighting for every game, hoping for n slump
on tho part of tho Dodgers In tho West, which would cnablo them to got close
enough to overhaul Robinson's band by beating them decisively In the eight games
which aro scheduled between the two teams In the closing weeks of tho. season.
It also Is posslblo that tho Phillies can pick up a couple of games this week by
defeating Now York while Boston Is playing Brooklyn.
To date tho Phillies havo had llttlo success against tho Dodgers, winning only
four of tho fourteen games played between tho two teams, but Brooklyn has
been equally easy for tho Braves, losing nine out of fourteen to Stalllngs's team.
If Boston can take three out of four from the Dodgers In tho coming session, tho
expected slump of the latter team may result, but if Brooklyn wins threo or
weeps tho series from tho Braves, Mr. Ebbcts can start idling world's series
tickets.
Saturday's dofeat at tho hands of the Cardinals with Alexander tho Great
on the mound caused faint-hearted fans to loso hopo, but tho' work of tho cham
pions during tho last week was highly satisfactory. Tho Phils nro going along
ftt a great clip, but as Brooklyn continues to win, and tho chumplons cannot
caln, tho fans aro beginning to loso hope. Nino weeks aro left for tho Phillies
to overhaul tho Dodgers, and quite a lot can happen In this space of time.
Athletics Break World's Record
THE Athletics have broken a world's record. By losing every gamo on the first
western trip tho Mackmen equaled tho poorest trip on record, but as sovoral
ether teams. Including Louisville, of 1889; Pittsburgh, of 1830; Boston Americans,
of 1906; Washington, of 1905; Cleveland, of 1839; St. Louis Americans, of 1910,
and one or two other tatlonders have had a similar experience, but little attention
was paid to Mack's band. However, tho Athletics Mmply refuso to win a gamo In
the West, and they now have the distinction (?) of being the only major lcaguo
team In the history of tho game to go Into tho second week of August without
having won a single Intersections! game away from home.
Every game of the first western Invasion was dropped, nnd tho Mackmen
have failed to win a game on tho present trip. The loss of every gamo on tho
first trip did not create much excitement, because so many games were postponed.
Including the "entire series of four games bclieduled In Chicago. With many double
headers scheduled to help use up the pitchers of tho wostern teams, ono would
hardly believe It posslblo for a team to bo unablo to win a Blnglo game, but tho
Mackmen have turned the trick. Twenty-nine successive games have been dropped
by the Athletics In the West.

FRANK SLOMAN, SENSATIONAL
SPRINTER FROM PACIFIC COAST,
NOT TO ENTER PENNSYLVANIA
Middle-Distance Star, Who Gave Meredith a
Great Battle, Will Pass Up Red and Blue
for California
By ROBERT W. MAXWELL
Guy Morton was not pulled from yesterday's game because the Mackmen
tallied twice In the sixth Inning, but because he was suffering from the heat, and
Fohl believed that he had worked long enough, considering the long time ho has
been out of the game. ,
A scout going through the American Association for talent will havo a hard
time selecting a player, unless he takes one who has been passed up by a major
league team recently. The ten leaders In every department, excepting pitching,
are veterans who have been discarded by major league teams within the last threo
years. Young talent Is so scarce In tho high-class minor leagues that It is wasting
time for a scout to look them aver,
The sweeping victory of the eastern tennis players over tho stars of the Far
West came as a great surprise. The victory of Johnston and Grlfllth in the
doubles match against Alexander and Behr was the only triumph gained by the
Western players In the seven matches played at Forest Hills.
Eastern swimming experts -were Inclined to believe that Ludy Longer, of the
Los Angeles A. C, was overrated, but the Pacific coast wonder proved con
clusively that there Is no one In the East In his class for the quarter mile. Longer
finished almost 15 yards ahead of Herbert Vollmer, of Columbia, who represented
the JTw York A. C.
It Is rather odd that, day after day, the games at the Phllly Park are the
shortest In either league. That Is one reason why the Phils are drawing so well.
The fans like to see the players hustling, and the way the Phillies run to and from
their positions and play the game without numerous consultations has made a big
hit There also Is little time wasted In giving the signals, the battery men working
In perfect harmony,
FRANK SLOMAN, the sensational school
boy athlete of San Francisco, will not
enter tho University of Pennsylvania thi
fall. According to reports from the const
nnd letters written by Sloman to friends
In tlio East, he will enter the University of
California and help put tho homo Stato
on tho map In track athletics.
Sloman li second only to our own "Ted"
Meredith ns n ijuartcr-mllo runner. Last
summer ho traveled tho dlstnnco In 47
seconds on a straightaway, but the wind
wns behind him nnd tho record was not
allowed to stnnd. He finished second to
Meredith In the 440 in tho national cham
pionships, however, and showed that he
can do better than 48 seconds.
Last spring tho Frisco boy promised rep
resentatives of tho University of Pennsyl
vania to remain In tho East after tho na
tional championships In Nownrk next
month and matrlculato nt the university.
Some few weeks ago. however, through
Howard Drew, It was learned that Sloman
uns wavering nnd that tho "native sons"
on tho coast convinced him that It would bo
best to remain at home.
Material Getting Away
SInmnn now Is working In tho sporting
department of a San Francisco newspaper
and it Is said that ho will tuko up Journalism
nt tho University of California. Ho Is
ambitious to becomo a. regular writer. In
his own "stuff the athleto says that ho
will try himself out in tho 220 nnd 440-yard
dashes nt the San Diego exposition nnd It
victorious will enter the same events In
Newark.
Penn probably will havo some moro hard
luck this fall, as It Is said that Brooke
Brewer, tho Washington, D. C, sprinter,
will enter Georgetown. Brewer's brother
was captain of the track team at George
town In 1912 nnd this Is likely to draw him
away from Pennsylvania.
Tho loss of these star nthlotes will bo a
hard blow to Law son Hobertson. tho new
track coach for the Bed and Blue. Tho
material is not the best In tho world, and
"Robblo" will have to go some to turn out
a team.
Stallings Is in Again
Gporge Stallings, aided and abetted by
Percy Haughton, our most recent baseball
mogul, has raised quite a fuss about the
umpiring In tho National League nnd a
special meeting will bo called by President
Tener to discuss the subject. George was
chased for a few days after a run-in with
liyron and later finished a poor second In
an argument with Charley Kigler. Now
ho la howling for revenge.
The protest of the Ilraves is a huge Joke.
Tho players are not the most gentlemanly
persons In tho world and aro quarreling
among themselves when they are not mix
ing with the arbiters. Internal dissen
sion Is shaking tho Ilraves and unless some
thing Is done at once to stop It IJoston will
have a very poor chance to cop the pennant
this year.
Only recently Johnny Evers and lied
Smith staged a lovely fist fight and had
to be separated. Evers then said that he
was through with tho Ilraves forever, but
since that time has reconsidered his state
ment and apologized. This only goes to
show the condition of tho Uoston club, and
Is It any wonder that they are having trou
ble with the umpires? gome one must be
blamed. " ,
Speaking of Records
Just a minute, men ; Jim Starr, the "pro"
at Haddon Country Club, Is on tho phone.
Jim has some news to Impart. Oft this:
"Just finished 18 holes at Cobb's Creek
and made a pretty decent score. Got by
with a 73 this morning. Tretty good, eh,
what? Joseph N. Davis, of Haddon C, C,
and C. V. Anderson, of Cobbs Creek, went
around with me, Here Is my score;
"4 6 S 3 4 6 4 4 639
"3 4 3 & 3 4 4 4 434"
As par for the course Is 71, Starr evi
dently did some excellent work on our mu
nicipal links. But Sandy McNIblick Is not
among us today, so we cannot newsy and
comment on Jim's self-confessed record.
Ilinkle Is Generous
Matt Ilinkle, of Cleveland, promoter of
the KUbane-Chaney battle at Cedar Point,
O., on Labor Day, Is so anxious to get the
boys together that real money is being
handed out right nnd left. Slnco ho wns
agreed upon ns rcferoo Mntt has bec'n kind
to Clinney and met ovury demand made by
tho Ilnltimorean.
When tlio match wns first advertised
Ilinkle announced that ho would give S1G,
000 to tho boxers, tho money to bo split up
between themselves. Kllbano Insisted on
$10,000, which was proper, but Chancy ob
jected to a meio S5000 for his end. Hlnklo
mnde u hurried trip to Baltimore to give
Georgo $5500 and $500 nddltlonnl for train
ing expenses If ho won and $0000 with
training expenses If ho lost.
A couple of dnys ago Matt thought things
over and wired Chancy that ho would re
ceive $C!i00, win, loso or draw. This seems
to havo fixed things up In good shape, and
unless Mtmcthing new crops up tho much-tnlked-of
match for tho featherwolght
championship of tho world will bo held as
per schedule.
However, tho boxing fans throughout tho
country will brontho easier when It Is an
nounced that both Kllbnno and Chancy hnvo
posted n substantial cash forfeit. When tlio
money Is up thero will bo no furthor side
stopping, ns both sides caro no moro about
money thnn President Baker, of tho Phillies,
does about the world's scries receipts.
Mornn in Oklahoma
Frank Moran has turned his back on tho
bright lights of Broadway nnd now Is
sojourning In Tulsa, Okln., where ho Is con
ditioning himself for hla fUBs with Carl
Morris on Labor Day. Frank hit tho skids
after his terrlblo battlo with Jack Dillon
nnd did most of his training In his motor
car nnd tho popular cafes. Ho figured Mor
ris as an easy mark, but when reports from
tho West stated that Carl was In better
snnpo tnan nt nny timo In his career Iko
Dorgan and "Wllllo Lewis prevailed upon the
big blonde to do some regular training, nnd
the Journey to Tulsa resulted.
This battle will bo the turning point of
Jlorau's career. If ho Is defeated Frank
mlghtus well retire and get a soft Job
driving a truck, for the public will not con
sider him serlouMy. His showing against
Wlllnrd was overlooked, put when Dillon
batted him all over tho ball park his social
standing dropped around zero. Frank must
win decisively from Morris or step down
from tho front rank In tho heavyweight
division.

VICTORS IN THE DOUBLES
FOItrcsT IUM.S, X. Y., Aug. 7. The rout
of tho 1'aclflc coast tennl3 tenm In the Hnst
Wcst matches on tho courts of the West
Klde Tennis Club nt Forest Hills wni com

In tho series with tlio i.nsi, me uniuorni.um
can boast of only n slnglo victory, n smnll
morsel, Indeed, In ft tournament In which
they expected to be victors. As ngalnst
this there stands the record of tho Cast
with six victories, and a satisfying record
lo a team which was regarded with doubt.
Having swept the boards elenn In tho piny
jf Friday, when thoy took all of tho singles
events, tho 13nst continued to rlso to tho
heights of victory when Nathaniel V. N'lles
defeated Roland Roberts, of San Francisco,
In the first match Saturday, 7-5. G-3. 6-3.
This gave tho Kast cory ono of the singles
competitions, and the Westerners could
only pin their waning hopes to tho double.
Tho national doubles champions. William

the thread of Ill-fortune that has bound tho

This contest teemed with Interesting play,

of spectacular tennis this superseded that

nil of tho men close In nt tho net, nnd the
play of the ball was bo fast that tho eye

It was the typo of game to rouso tho
