i he mid before the riiiiic. "Wo have been going badly, of
.late, but the boys now have got tlietnoclves together and
will play Kd ball."
The visitors did the bot they could, but it wasn't
ruotigh. I 'oniric's A's. aided by very superior twirling by
-l)avc Kocfe. got away to a Hying start, and although
they were lied once, they forgd ahead and kept the lead
' until the ilni-h.
, Cleveland showed little spirit in jestorday's contest.
but thej cannot be blamed for that. They have gone
' through n very sad week and it will take time for them
to forget. At the same time it wns a far different ball
"club from the one which hustled through the last series.
This does not detract from the victory of the A's.
The home folks Oenrvwl to win because they hit more
timely, had better pitching and the breaks were witli
- them. Tor -xamplo. in the ninth inning, when Smith
opened with a single and stole second, it looked as if the
'score would be tied. However, Gardner's sacrifice lolled
, into Krefe's hands and Smith was an easy out at third.
That plaj spelled defeat for Cleveland, for It killed
-.their only cliani c. Speaker made many substitutions after
that, but none of the subs came through.
The A's now have won two in a row from the visitors
and will go after them again today. Jim Uagby will hurl

the team gets going.
The one reasou for the present showing of tire In
dians is Tris Speaker. While in Cleveland last week to
"attend the Chapman funeral Spoke suffered nu attack of
ptomaine poisoning and was seriously ill. He got out of
a. sick bed. went to Huston and. although too weak to (' v
anything, tried to get into the game.
Tris lost lift ecu pounds and wns in no shape to play,
but tried just the same. He was the first to crack under
the strain and that affected the other players.
Speaker is gaining strength every day. nnd that means
BALA FIRST-HOLE DRIVE TEST
FURNISHES LINE ON GOLFERS
Only One Player Ever Drove in Bunker. According to Frank
Mc Adams Aspiring Club Champion Once i
''Shoived Up" Gil h'icholls ,

JUST how much ardnge do the best
players get from the too and through
the green with their wood?
Hero's a question that has been di.
putcd for years in golf. Some claim
that professionals such as Hagen.
Uarnes. Hay and Mitchell will be. close
to 2".- yards of an average.
Amateur averages are computed
around 'J'2'i ards. but .the Itnhi CJolf
Club, which is holding its annual invi
tation tourney this week, has a marker
on the first hole which demonstrates
that a player is getting hold of his ball
and hadn't much to complain of if he
carries it. The marker is a low ridge
that runs noro-s the fairway out there
about 1S.1 jnri.'s from the tee.
Players left in the first Hight of the
tournc) today were landing just across
the ridge. If they got a good ball, and
then rolling for a little more distance.
Good Test
Th.it ridge on tlie first hole is a good
test of an unknown opponent. If h
can carry it comfortably he's going to
be dangerous at Bala, where liealtliy

Calvert was out in 11. and all the time

He had previously won two Bala

Calvert's expected comeback has now1
been .staged. From now on he should

He sets an cxnmplo
follow.
Yesterday it became known that the players on the.
club sent letters to the principal player on six other
Alncrlcnn League clubs, atddng them to boycott Carl Mays
in the future; in other words, announce that they would
not play in n game with htm.
This Is drastic action, but when one realizes that it
came after due thought and deliberation, nril written on
the spur of the moment. It is quite serious. The players
have wailed a week before taking any action on the death
of Hay Chapman and did not take the step until the
matter had been thoroughly discussed. p
No copy of the letter is available, "but the principal
points follow :
The Cleveland baseball club will uphold and defend
liny action taken by the other American League clubs in
refusing to play In a game with Carl Mays. They did
not urge any one to do this, but put It up to the players.
A copy also wns sent to ltan Johnson.
"The reasou for this action," said one of the Cleve
land plajers today, "was that Mays went back in the
game and pitched ns if nothing had hnpponcd. Ho wns
treated like a hero who had done something wonderful,
and it wasn't right. He didn't show any effects of what
lis was supposed to have gone through.
fllUIAYS iicecr irent near Chapman ichvn he iras
hit nor did he go to the hospital. 'lie didn t
even go near the clubhouse after Hay had been
i aiiicd there. The less ice sec of him the letter."

CHANDLER NINE LEADS
Close Finish In Bankers hnd Brokers'
Ball League
Matters arc progressing toward a
gnrrlson finish in tho Bankers and Stock
llrokers Hougne. The two leaders have
I reversed their positions, inasmuch
chnndl.r Pros. & Co. now lead
as
the
league, due to the good work of Ogden,
who scored a shutout, allowing but
two hits and striking out eleven, while
Docring, for Montgomery, allowed four
hits, yielding ono run nnd struck out
ten. Another feature of this tight came
was a iwo-nase nit by Watts, of Chan
iller. 'l hose two teams are about evenly
matched, and it is a cuse oftouy man's

Reds Stage Hideous Exhibition
in Losing to Hubbell, Who
Huns Well
St. Louis. Aug. 27. Cravath's col
lection' of cellaritos crcnpnl from Cin
cinnati, victors in one game out of
four, and severely conscious that the
oue game had given the Iteds pennant
prospects an awful jolt. The Phils open
hero today.
It was by long odds the worst game
soon for years in Cincinnati o hideous
exhibition xof fumbles, wild pegs nnd
bone plavs by the champions, while
the astonished nnd appreciative visitors
gladly accepted the soft things thrust
upon them. Incidentally, Hubbell
pitched a mighty line game, the best
lie hns staged sjneo he joined tho club,
nnd showed n lot of class while lie xyas
shutting out the champions
Cravath's cuckoos got two at the
start two runs that were literally
forced upon them. With one extinct,
Lebourvenu bunted safe. nawlings
smote it smacking single. Trying to
get Lebourvenu off second, Ring let fly
a peg that oroke n finger on Kopf'a
right hand, nud also gave both runners
nnothcr base.
Kopf is out of it for threo weeks or
more, just at the most crucial period of
the season. -
When Williams gave Daubcrt an easy
bounce, Heine Oroh .camo to tho top
with the clown play of the season. Ho
did exactly xvhat brought II. Zimmer
man immortal obloquy in the 1017
series attempted to catch Lcbourvcau
in a Ktem chase and lost by live feet.
Kawlings oozed around to third during
this wild merriment and scored on
Mcusel's fly to Xenle.
The crowd hooted lots more in the
third, and with good reason. Pnulcttc
strolled. A wretched throw by Wingo
gave him second and then Daubcrt mis
handled Lcbourveau's bunt so horribly
that Paillette scored and Lebourveaii
scooted to second. Ilawllngs's grounder
and Williams's long fly admitted Lc
bourvcau. After tb,is explosion of idiocy, the
Kcds held their own for n time, Hub
bell, iiicanyvhlle, wns pitching some
pretty fancy ball. He had the Iteds
i as helpless as n green caterpillar in a
( giirdner's shears and the crowd kept up
a sieuuy urc oi cuicaus.
In the sixth. Fletcher got on through
a force-play, and wandered to second on
a balk. Ualph Miller died easily;
Wlthrow banged one of his few hits a
triple down right held and Fletcher,
naturally, adjourned to the plate.
In the eighth, there wns more horse
play. Meusel singled, a passed ball
run led him to third, and Daubert's
hilarious boot of l-'lejlL'licr'H roller let
Irish in. ,
That was all, thank you, -except a
soft run mnde by Hubbell against Sallec
in the ninth.
"Give mo the tough clubs after this."
li Hubbell. "I work belter against them
than I do against tho second-raters. I.et
in.j have tlrst crack nt Ndw York and llrouk
i n when wo get homo nguln."
c.v Will la nm returned to duty He couldn't
lilt but cut ilnwn some long flka with hla
graceful, giraffe-like movement.
Paulettn was knocked out In the eighth
i. a bounder that hit him whero ho didn't
ilk" It He managed to complete the play
' i the runner then flopped like a fish on
il" sand. Jack Miller relieved him.
!
Heine firoh's bone plav in rhaslncr T.e.
imurveau home rocked tho stands with mer-
rlinent. It was the funniest thing of the
m-.ih. ah aroi iiaii to do was to toss the
lM" to Wlngo. but Just as Zimmerman did
on a moro memornble occasion, he pursued
lib runner and finished u bad second as the
1'renchman slid home.
V
Crane, subbing for Ivonf. had only two
(Mi) chances, both easy lie was up at bat
'iur times and never got the ball out of the
Infield, and tho Ileds gave Indianapolis
i-mlih, Schrelber and J300O for this fellow,

Tho champions are In blamed bad shape.
