S JUlevcland Followers Jtlope Hitting ot lwo stars win
Yet Displace Boston Red Sox in Race for the
American League Flag
By ROBERT W. MAXWELL
SitorU KUllnr Kierlng luhllc 1-edger
TN SPITE of the fact that they nre three Barnes behind the Boston Red
Sox and that the old season will close up shop on I-abor Dor. the mem-
pS , bera of the Cleveland baseball club are nil chock full of hope and are
" certain thex will cop the flag In the American League. Tho chances for thti
tv .
are. remote, because the Cleveland club Is on the road, while tne ilea
Sox not only are at home playlnR In Fenway Tark, but have at present the
Browns for opponents. This means that unless the Red Sox crack badly
In the last few days of the season the Indians have little chance to win out
even If they play consistently good baseball.
But baseball Is a queer old game and It Is possible that Trls Speaker
and Joe- Wood, who have done the bulk of the offensive work for tho
Indians all season, may cram on an extra head of steam and bat out
enough victories to put the Red Sox under. It would be a great thing If
Cleveland did win the scries. In the first place. It has never had a winner,
and secondly the world series games could be more easily arranged be
cause of the short traveling distance between Chicago and Cleveland. A
In their recent game) the Indians hnve had excellent pitching. Ragby
has been going well and so has Covelesklc. George McQulllcn, the ex
Phllly hurler. Is now with the Clevelanders, but his work has not been as
good as Lee Fohl had hoped it would be. Couinbe. Morton and Enzmann
have been tossing consistent ball and to them belongs lots of credit for
holding Cleveland up In the race under very trying conditions.
The rest of the Cleveland team Is well balanced, but is not brilliant,
either on the offense or defense. Doe Johnston has been working welt
around the first sack, but his hitting has not been up to the. mark.
Hitting Has Decided Many Contests
IT IS very likely that Philadelphlans will see Trls Speaker and Joe Wood
for the last time In baseball during the present series. Trls Is going
Into the aviation corps nnd it H not likely that he ever will take up the
pastime again, even If ho returns from the war uninjured. As for Joe
"Wood, he is a veteran nnd will doubtless have outlived his usefulness by
the time baseball again Is back on the map.
The work of Joe Wood has been tho most remarkable of any player
In tlttf game this season. He has been hitting far beyond anything that
Fohl ever dreamed of and his fielding has been superb. Joe has shown
that he can hold down an outfield position with the best in the business,
and also can come Into the infield and play second in splendid fashion with
out letting up in his hitting.
The latest official averages show that Speaker Is hitting at a .320 clip
and Wood at the rate of .303. The best part of tho hitting of both these
players Is their ability to come through in the pinches. Time and ai?ain
this season hits by Wood or Speaker or both have been the deciding
. factors In Cleveland victories.
Wood has not been decorated for superfluous base-stealing, but he
U6es his head on the paths, which is a far greater asset than actual
apeed. Trls has pilfered twenty-seven bases this season.
With two such reliable long-distance hitters a club Is apt to bat itself
out of a hole at any time and turn what seemed to be certain defeat into
Victory. Fohl and tho fans .of Cleveland are depending on the ability of
these players to push tho Red Sox out of first place. Both players are
right at the top of their game, and it can be asserted with certainty that
if the Indians do not win it will not be the fault ot these plavers. whose
plrlt and ability have added so much to the power of the Cleveland club.
Must Guard Against Substitutions
BOXING promoters should guard against disappointments In the star
bouts this season and take Immediate steps to protect the public. It
frequently happens that one of tho principal contenders who has been
advertised to appear In the wlndup is taken 111 or finds It impossible to
fulfill his contract. The fans attend the match and at the last moment
are told that a substitution has been made. The public does not approve
of things like that and many of the spectators feel they have been victims
of a bunco game. They place the blame on the management Instead of
the boxer, who really is the guilty party.
In some cases, however, the management makes a mistake In not
announcing a substitution which probably was made three or four days
before the fight. This, too, should not be allowed, as stunts like that
injure the game.
The 1918-19 boxing beason officially opens tonight at the National
A. A. with the first .substitution of the year. Patsy Clinc, who was billed
to meet George Chaney, says he is ill or Indisposed or something and
cannot appear. He Is said to have been in good health on Monday, but on
Tuesday his manager asked to call off the bout. The management of the
National, Iri order to make sure, then sent a man to New York to see CUno,
and after he had made his report Harry Pearce, of Brooklyn, was substi
tuted. Matchmaker Pop O'Brien tried to get Rocky Kansas, Willie Jnckson
and several others to meet the Baltimore slugger, but they wanted none of
his game. Prarce, howe cr, who substituted for Jackson against Clino at
the ball park a couple of weeks ago and made a great showing, was will
ing to take the date and the match was arranged.
Perftaps CHne really Is sick, but if such is the case his manager pulled
a boner. After calling off the Chaney match Harry Pollok sent me a letter
challenging Benny Leonard and stated that the lightweight champion was
running: out of the match. It looks as if Cllne Is being saved for Leonard
and no chances will be taken with any one else. If Chaney stopped Patsy
the New Torker would be ruined as a drawing card. He could get more
money with Leonard and a knockout would not be so bad. That's how it
looks from here, and It would be a good plan to bar Cllne from all future
bouts in Philadelphia until he fulfills his contract and boxes Chaney at
the National A. A.

Big Crotvds at Point Breeze Races
OTORCYCLE and motor-paced races are attracting big crowds at
Point Breeze and the sport Is gaining In popularity. All of the races
are exciting because there Is an element of risk and also considerable doubt
from the start until the finish line Is crossed. There always aro plenty of
accidents, such as punctures, blowouts, broken chains and the breaking
down of the motor pacers. A rider may be leading by a mile and a slight
accident will cost him the race.
On Thursday night Carman, Sutter and Wiley performed In a fifty,
jnllo race and It was exciting from the start. Sutter, who la one of the
best riders In the country, was out to win, and Carman also had designs on
the race. Wiley, too, had a good chance to cop. So the trio started out
like a gang of firemen on a 4-11 call. It could easily be seen there was
intense rivalry among the riders, for the first five miles were at a fifty
mile an hour clip. That's traveling some on an ordinary bike, but the
object was to kill off one ot the participants. Sutter was leading, but a
puncture threw him behind. Wiley then Jumped to the front and set the
pace until one of his tires went bad.
In the meantime Carman plugged along without accident and Increased
his lead until he was seven laps to the good. Then he had trouble. Jimmy
Hunter's machine laid down and died and while a change was being mado
the lead was cut down to three laps. Sutter tried hard to mako up the
lost ground, but failed, and finished two laps behind.
All of this was very exciting and many spectators left the track be
lieving Sutter could beat Carman If he had the breaks. Tim Buckley,
owner of the track, matched the pair for a race tonight to tettle th
question of supremacy. Lawrenco will be the third man In the event,
Ty Cobb Halted by Mack Hurlers
TY COBB went on a batting rampage during the last week that endured
for twelve consecutive games, when a pair of Athletic hurlers, Walson
and Jamleson, halted him. ifurlng his stretch of hitting Ty came through
with twenty-three hits In fifty-five tries for an average of .418, and also
tallied nine runs.
Trls Speaker had punched outjils base hltsfor saven straight games
when he was stopped by Sam Jones' purine "la streak Spoke punchier out
.elven hits in twenty-seven attempts for an average of .407. Joe Wood had
. a batting streak (iiat landed him Into the .300 circle of hitters. Woodle

LAWRENCE TO COMPETE
Carman and Sutter Also in Forty
Mile Race Tonight
s"pw that Clarence Carman has found
his winning stride he is out to equal
Oeorge Wiley's mark, of five consecutive
wins. Cnrmnn will be one of the three
starters In the forty-mile motor-paced
feature at the Point Breeze Motordrome
tonight. Percy Lawrence, the Ameri
can champion, will be here to make Car
man's winning streak very brief. Paul
Sutter, the Swiss sensation, also will be
found when the hlg race starts.
Kuttcr has ridden brilliantly In his
Inst two races here, but tho old jinx
has been on him. Last Saturday night
.1 breakdown deprived Sutter of a win.
and last Thursday night it was three
blowoutB which did much to keep him In
second place. Hutter has shown great
speed In hla sprint efforts to cut down
leads. With any kind of a break he
should be dangerous tonight.
Carman has partly recovered from
tho Injuries he recehed a mop tit ago
when he cracked his shoulder blade.
His win Thursday night has done mucli
to revive a waning spirit and ho Is out
to show the boys the way this evening.
Percy Lawrenco arrived this morning
and was silent as to the outcome. He
Is the champion and a modest one.
Kopsky will take the place of Speedy
Vandeberry In pacemaklng. Jimmy
Hunter and Itody Lehman will be the
other two pacemakers.
Two motorcycle races and two ama
teur cycle handicap events will precede
the forty-mile feature.
Athletics' Hurler Has Won
Nineteen Games and Drop
ped Seventeen
SCOTT PEnrtY, the much-disputed
hurler of. the Mackmen, has won and
lost more games than any pitcher in the
major leagues this season. His last win,
when he threw the White Sox to defeat,
made his sixth consecutive winning ef
fort. Perry has won nineteen and lost
seventeen games, for a percentage of
.628 not a bad record for pitcher hurl
