CHAPMAN TRAGEDY BRINGS OUT
FACT THAT TIME HAS
m
ACTION AGAINST THE
THEY have Icglslntcd ngnlnst the shine bnll, emery bnll,
iplt ball und other Illegal forms of delivery, nnd the
time has come to take drastic action against the "bean
' ball."
There are too many pitchers in the big leagues who
have a habit of "dusting 'cm off," and getting away with
It. This practice It becoming entirely too popular, nnd
consists of throwing the ball at the batter's head to drive
film away from the plate and make the pitcher's work
easier for htm.
"Knock him down If the batter Is dangerous," Is n
common Haying In the big leagues. Star batters have to
drop quickly to the ground a couple of times in each
same to nvold being lilt. The pitchers consider it a
good joke, but the death of Hay Chapman has changed
this.
Four years ago there was a riot up In Boston one day
when the lied Sox were fighting Detroit for the pennant.
Mays was pitching, three men were on base and Ty Cobb
nt bat. The count was three and two on the Georgian
and Mays let one go, hitting Tyrus on the arm. Ty
threw his bat at the pitcher, n fight started and the police
had to restore order.
Frank Ilaker Inn thrown hN bat at Mays nnd other
American League batters have done the same thing. They
objected to being hit by pitched balls.
It Is said that a certain pitcher in the American
League brags about his ability at knocking the men down
at the plate. If such is the case he should be warned, and
if that doesn't do any good, drive him out of baseball.
The death of Chapman will make the pitchers more
careful In the future. He was the first big league player
' to be killed in that manner, and we sincerely hope It will
be the last. Frank Chance, when he was. playing with
the Chicago Cubs, was "beancd" thirty-seven times by
actual count nnd several times had to be carried off the
field. I.es Mann also h a target, but never has been
seriously hurt. Tris Speaker, Eddie Col'lns and Joe
Jackson have taken the couut, nnd the only reason Babe
Ruth hasn't had one bounced off his head is becbnu o'
bis ability to dodge.
y0U7.Y0
nrncjirc and
the "bean ball"
no penalty is too
offenders. If a pitcher even tries to hit a latter
with the ball he should draw a heavy fine and sus
pension. Chapman Was Popular Player
rpHE death of Ray Chapman cast n mantle of gloom
over both leagues yesterday. It came as a stunning
shock and it was hard to realize what had happened.
Chapman was one of the most popular men In baseball.
He always played a hard, aggressive game, but never was
guilty of any rowdyism on the field. He seldom got into
an nrgument and was friendly to all.
"Rny Chnpman was one of the finest follows I ever
set," said Ray Schalk, of the White Sox, this morning.
"I knew him for years and always considered liiin one of
my best friends. We played In the American Association
In 1011, he was with Toledo and I with Milwaukee. Roth
f us entered the American League at the same time, Ray
going to Cleveland in 1012, while I joined Chicago.
"When we played in Cleveland the last time Ray told
me he was thinking seriously of quitting the game, but I
doubt if he would have doue so. Ills father-in-law built
a big brass foundry and Ray was to have taken complete
charge of it this winter. It i3 one of the largest plants in
Cleveland and Is doing a tremendous business.
"Ray's death came as such a surprise that I hardly
can believe it. Rasebull lost u great player and a great
011:11."
Chapman's loss is likely to hurt the pennant chances
not only of Cleveland but also of New York. A tragedy
like that cannot be forgotten, especially by clubs up there
fighting for the lead. The Indians have been in a slump
and this will make them worse. As for .Mays and the
New York club, they will be constantly reminded that

they were responsible for Chapman's death, and that is
likely to get the nerve of nny team.
T IS extremely doubtful if Mays will be able to
do anything again this year.
White Sox Glimpse at Giants
MANY of the White Sox players, who rind'n vacation
yesterday, went out to the double-header at the
Phils' park to have a look at some National League base
ball. They were interested In the Giants, as it is possible
that they will meet in the world scries. Who cau tell?
Hut the vlUtlng athletes did not see the real New
York club. It was McGrawlcss and Evcrless, which
means It, also was manngerlcss. McGraw was detained
in New York on private and confidential business nnd
Evcrs was canned for a few days because of a losing
argument he staged with Rill Klem recently. In addi
tion, Bancroft was on the injured list, which left n big
1 'o in the Infield.
"The club doesn't look very itood," said one of the
players. "It hasn't any pep nnd the athletes don't seem
to care. I don't sec "nny thing startling about the pitch
ing, cltl.fr. Those hurlcra look quite ordinary. This
might b- an off day, but that ball club looks as if it could
improve n whole lit."
This was tiot n boost for our rhils, who lost the open
ing came after ten innings of terrible torture.
Gav -y tried everything. Including four pitchers, nnd
couldn't put over the telling wallop. Ills men started
out like champions, but slipped in the mud in the fifth
inning, lu that strenuous stnnzn Kppa Rixey became as
effective as I'onzi after his bank had been closed, and
started n rut. of New York tallies to the plate. When the
procession was at its height Lee Meadows was told to
polish his spectacles and go to work, nnd the bespectacled
one started n private parade. Between the two seven
nlien gents spiked the home plate, and what could a club
do against n lead like that? Nothing, and they did that'
very tiling.
Although the count was knotted in the ninth, the
Giants won in the tenth. That helped the percentage
column for n few minutes.
The home boys did a lot of clouting, but lots of the
clouts were wasted. They lilt while the sun was shining
nnd in the ruin, showing they were versatile.' Old .Tupe
1'luv butted in during the pastime nnd Charley Rlglcr
postponed the contest temporarily. Thunder thundered
nnd lightning flashed and the rnln honked through the
roof of the grand stand. After this bit of local color' .Tupe
laid off nnd went back for a trimming.
In the second game, Trngcs.scr made it possible for
the Giants to score two runs in the sixth. Young was on
third and was caught flat-footed when Kelly bounded to
J. Miller. Jack made the throw to the plute and Trn
gesser caught it. Then he started to chase Young, nnd
held the ball so long that Ross slid back to the bag safely
instead of being nn easy out. Kelly took second while
this was going on nnd both scored on Spencer's double,
which socked the right field wnll.
fooile put the l'hils in the rear.
their accustomed position. Then held
the ninth.
Gavvy Takes Bat in Hand Zoioie!
TN THAT hectic inning Gavvy Crnvnth did n wise piece
J- of work, l.obonrvcnu strolled up to the plate and
Gavvy decided to make a change. Inserting himself in the
line-up. he tool; a healthy swing, hit the bulb nnd
slammed it nguinst the right field wall for two sacks.
Thut started something. Rowlings and Williams went out.
nnd, Stengel, who was pinch-running for his boss, cot
to third.
Thnt put it up to Meusel, and Irish responded with a
single thut tied up the game. Jack Miller beat out a hit
nnd Irish took second.
n.U.l'll MILLER ivm next, and he. too. came
through in a pinch, his single scoring Irish and
giving our I'hils a glo-rious victory.
Different Times of Donble-Headers
T AST Friday the A's und Red Sox played one of the
Li shortest iloublo-hondor.on record. It took two hours
nnd forty-eight minutes to play both gnmes. Yesterday
the Giants nnd Phils perpetrated one of the longest. Took
four hours und four minutes to snllt even. ThnroCnr., n

This is the "big" classic of the "little"

happy dates have been set for the tour
ney this year.
Play starts a week from today over
tho nine-hole course nnd goes four days
to tho finals Saturday afternoon.
It comes nt u time when no other

llnla, but, since the course is open to
rutrnuts this week prior to the tourney,
scores of golfers arc, nevertheless,
taking advantage of the opportunity to '
renew their acquaintance with the "tan
talizing" golf required there.
It looks "so ensy," but ji'st tnke a
look at tho annual scoring. Golfers who
go there thinking to "cat tip" the course
had best save their thinking till later.
Tour Sixteen
An entry list calculated to crack local
records is expected. Tour sixteens will

On Saturday the semifinals and finals

in the West say the course was baked
hard as n crushed stone road.
"The concussion of n brnssie ngnlnst

The same condition, according to re
ports, holds nt Flossmoor, where the

At the Finish
At diitb time how serene things are,
Just as you see tho first red liar. r
How calm life grows xohcro all its rush
Has settled to a twilight hush
Of whispering trees and winds that
creep
As if they, too, were half asleep.
At dusk time in the greater game
Perhaps it may be just the same,
As one by one with trouble past
B'c face the battle's end at last.
Content to know that, lost or iron,
77ic fight is through, the game is done.
"I
8 THIS talk about a battle between
writes I. K, II,, "to lead tip to n
'movie' scenario entitled 'Dare Devil
Jack and the King of the White
Slavers'? Anyway, thcro's a title with
a couple of tinpulled punches in it. Xo
charge for confiscation."
More Revision
Lircs of duffers start the chorus
H'Acrc profane chords often strike,
As we march and see before us
Divots, heel prints and the like, i
For the duffer's breast is burning,
With a rage that's too intense;
Why to divots be returning
H'Acii your ball has jumped the fencef
THE toastmastcr, continuing,
marked: "Gentlemen, the
re
next speaker will bo" '
Hut at this moment five Olcvelnnd
delegates nt the banquet stnrtcd a rous
ing cheer thnt came near wrecking the
program. Spell it with a capital and
it's simple enough.
Tho Punch in the Batting Order
THE Yanks hnve a high-explosive
combination thnt consists of Iluth,
Meusel, Pratt and Bodle.
Cleveland has Speaker, Johnston nnd
others. lJut for concentrated effect,
who carries any lustier punch than the
White Sox with Collins. Weaver, .Ttick
son nnd Felsch? Here nre four rough -nnd-rendy
pill killers who arc liable to
peel the epidermis off the ball at almost
any given nmment. The Sox haven't as
ninny .300 hitters ns Cleveland carries,
and they haven't nny "Babe" Ruth,
but they have a punching power here
that has wrecked many a ball gamo this
season, nnd that will wreck quite a few
more before the odor of burning leaves
ladlcntes that another summer has
stepped aside for another October.
Stampeding Pat
TIIK Keds may or may not win the
pennant ngniu this season, but those
who count upon stampeding Pat Moran
nre entitled to a running junip in the
general direction of nnother guess.
Pat happens to be a citizen who not
only rofuses to quit, but who drives his
clan along the same route. He kept the
Phillies iu the fight no mntter ugainst
what break of misfortune, and when lie
had n tough series to win last year he
generally got there. His bnll club may
skid on him once in a while, bu a
manager of Mornn's type is never out
of it until the shroud has been sewed
on nnd the final obsequies nre over.

Full Havana filler
what else?
NOT much else, if you're speaking of
mild Robt. Burns.
The fact is, Robt. Burns Invincible or
Longfellow is practically all Havana.
Take away Robt. Burns' full Havana
filler, and you have left little more than
a single "thin-ness" of Sumatra wrapper
leaf.
Not forgetting, of course, the special
curing which gives to Robt. Burns' full
Havana filler its pleasing mildness and
the fine handworkmanship which still
distinguishes Robt. Burns.
