STANLEY ATHLETIC CLUB FORFEITS SECOND GAME IN ALLISON HILL LEAGUE SERIES
FIST FIGHT IS
FINAL FEATURE
"Chick" GandiT Mixes It Up
With Bader; Better
Feeling
Chicago, Aug. 22.—A tight between
Bader, a utility pitcher for the - Bos
ton club, and "Chick" Gandll, guar
dlan of the initial sack for Chicago,
followed the third game of the series
between the two leaders for the pen
nant, which Chicago won, 2 to 0.
Gandll claimed that Gainer attasn.pt
ed to spike him when he slid lnrs:
first base during the fourth inning.
This started an argument in which
Bader took a leading part, riding
Gandil hard for the rest of the game.
In the final inning Gandil slid into
first and Gainer claimed he dellber
t ately tried to spike him.
This intensified the row and as
soon a3 tlie shelter of the grandstand
was reached Bader and Gandil went
at each other. The bout was a whirl
wind while it lasted, but Gandil with
n. well directed right to the jaw floor
ed Bader and then Barry, Gainer and
Lewis jumped in and stopped the
fight.
Bitter Feeling
There has been bitter feeling be
tween the two clubs and the climax
to-day came after considerable "rid
ing" was indulged in by both teams.
The game itself was one of the
hardest fought of the series. It was
a pitchers' battle between "Baho"
Buth and "Tex" Russell, with the
latter having the better of it.
Chicago won the game in the sixth
Inning. After one was out McMul
lln almost knocked Buth down with
n hot grounder. Eddie Collins fol
lowed with a hit to the right field
fence, scoring McMullin. The next
two players went out, leaving Collins
on second. The other run made by
. Chicago was a gift.
No action was taken in regard to
the threatened protest on yesterday's
game which was started In violation
of the league rules, which >ohiblts
the starting of a championship con
test after two hours before sunset.
WYCKOFF GOES TO AKMY
Williamsport, Pa., Aug. 22.—John
Wei don Wyckoff, of Buffalo, former
ly of the Athletics, must shoulder a
gun in the war. Wyckoff was draft
ed and appeared before the city ex
emption board claiming release from
military service because he is mar
ried and has two children. The
board decided that because Charles
C. Crouse, the father of Wyckoff's
■rtife, is a wealthy manufacturer, the
baseball player should go into serv
ice.

With braver soul and finer heart?

THE DUFFER ARTICULATES
Conversation is vexation;
A stymie brings a frown;
A putt for a 3 so startles m
That I seldom get it down.
While the budding Reds under Matty will not reach any pennant height
this season they are once pointed for a distinct honor, provided the festive
dope doesn t kick over the traces, which is one of the best things It doe?
This will come in the elevation of Eddie Roush to the batting
i ) .? f^ hiß u lrCUit ' season lla ' Chase, another Red, led the league"
and if Roush comes through Cincinnati will have two leaders in succession
Back in the old days, when the Beds had Mike Donlin, Joe Keffey BM
McPhee, Sam Crawford and others, they carried more than their shire of
heavy artillery. But until the last year or two they have run ihv in
respect. Roush Isn't Hkely to be beaten, for he not only can hit but he
fast enough to pick up muny an intleld base hit when things aro n„t
ing too well. It has been quite a spell since the National League had a
batsman. Jake Daubert finished with exactly .350 in 1913 whife the rirott
Zlm had 372 in 1912. They were the last of the .35oVnd-better b ov .
Dave Robertsdh, of the Giants made a noise like .350 for several
tue moments last season, but Dave soon ceased firing and came back after
the manner of a steel girder tossed from a skyscraper. Roush may be the
coming Cobb of the Nationals, so far as batting Is concerned.
PITCHING AND PENNANTS
Dear Sir: Isn t this true? Viz: The Mackmen won a pennant with a
slugging team, but they also had Bender, Plank and Coombs In the box
the White Sox once AVon a pennant with a hltless team, but thev hart
Walsh, Altrock and Doc White; the Red Sox last season had only a normal
team at bat, but they had Buth, Leonard, Shore and Mays- the old Pnhi
had a great all-around team but they had Brown, Overall, Reulbach and
Pfelsfcr. In other words\ll the pennant winners—or nearly all—have not
depended upon batting or fielding, but on pitching. It has been the nltch
lng that told the story. The Tigers last year had the greatest run geitlig
team in the business and a very strong defensive team in the field wiVh
Bush, Young Vitt, Cobb, Veach. etc. But without the pitching "hey were
™ ln - ' lmiinK , the trouble with the New York Yankees, It is simply
this; They have si* or seven fair pitchers, but no two or three stars to
go out and win. JUST A FAl £
T*e only way to develop a good pitching staff is to have three or four
dependable men and use them straight through, with rare intermissions.
The big mistake is too often made in attempting to work six or seven
pitchers. Sight star pitchers on a club, worked every eight days would
be ineffective and Incompetent by June. ' u
"Breaking through tho line" has been a game taught to young Amer
icans for a good many years. And they have been taught that no line is
impregnable to the proper and concentrated assault. The C. P klndiv
observe and take notice. '
Athletics Lose Game
After Military Ceremony
Cleveland, Ohio, AUK. 22.—Cleveland
defeated the Athletics yesterday, IB
to 3, hitting Pitcher Myers at will.
Pitcher Bagby, In addition to keeping
the Athletics' hits scattered, made
four hits and scored as many runs
himself as did his opponents.
Major Raymond Sheldon, U. S. A.,
who Judged the two competing clubs,
received a message while upon the
field Informing him of his promotion
to the rank of lieutenant colonel and
directing him to report to Camp Cus
ter, Battle Creek, Mluh. Prior to doing
so. however, he will inspect the other
Amerlcon cfulW at Detroltr
Wednesday; Chicago, ThursSsry, and
<3t. Louis Saturctay. He will make no
criticism until he has completed his
round of the league.
The game fairly reeked of old

tion of Ray Chapman, each membet of
the home guards connected for one
or more safe hits. Jim Bagby cele
brated his twenty-flrst victory by
scoring three run and banging out
four safe hits out of five times up.
The Athletics came across with
their usual ftareback. Three swats
tossed into the sixth and eighth In
nings produced runs, but Old Sarge
Bagby was working behind such a
commanding lead that he refused
even to be slightly worried.
The tribe virtually won the ball
game with a mad hitting streak In the
third inning, when half a dozen well
buncbed swats, together with a base
on balls, produced as many runs. In
the sixth frame four more tallies were
picked up, a!o three in the seventh
and two in the eighth.

STANLEY QUITS
WHEN HITS RAIN
Beading Gets Second Game by
Forfeit; Wertz Is in
Great Form
After the Reading ' team had
scored three runs In the second In
ning and seven more In the third
before the side was retired, the Stan
ley aggregation left the flfld and for
feited last evening's Allison Hill
League contest by a 9 to 0 score, giv
ing the Railroaders the second of the
series of five games to bo played this
week for the championship.
Wertz was on the mound for the
Readlngltes and his pitching was the
feature. In three Innings that the
Stanley team faced him he struck
out nine batters, giving Catcher
"Ben" Kline credit for all of the
putouts. •
Johnson Hit Hard
"Norm" Johnson did not fare so
well. In the third the Reading
tossers made five consecutive blngles.
Mixed with overthrows, bases on
balls and errors of omission and com
mission, netted the winners seven
runs. In the second Lynch walked,
Campbell failed to handle Ehling's
■fast bounder, Wertz doubled, scoring
Lynch. Ibach singled, scoring Eh
ling; Kline's one-bagger brought
home Wertz.
CfcjAaAn Shlckley announced that
Earl Walt* *v'll try to turn the trick
for his team this *r*llmi # while
Beading will use Gordon Piatt If he
Is available. The latter is camp in
structor at McCormick's Island and
will pitch to-night If he is able to
get away. The largest crowd of the
season was on hand to see the
slaughter.
The work of "Mickey" Boyd and
Earl Killlnger, the arbiters, was first
class and none of the decisions was

Straight Heats Feature
On Belmont Race Card;
North Spur Easy Winner
Philadelphia. Pa., Aug. 22.—Straight
heat victories featured the second
day's racing of the Grand Circuit
meeting at Belmont track yesterday,
and the crowd which was larger Mian
on the opening day enjoyed some
high-class harness sport. In win- (
ning the 2.10 pace. Ben All. by Wealth'
owned and driven by C. Earl Pitman,
stepped two of the three heats in
2.04 , 4 and 2.04, which is the fastest
time ever made over Belmont by a
pacer in an open event.
While the 2.10 pace furnished the
hardest race and the closest finishes
of the afternoon, principal interest
centered in the Directors' Stake for
local trotters eligible to the 2.20 class,
owned at present or at time of entry
by residents of this city. Eleven of
the twelve entries on the card started
in this race, W. F. Dewees drawing
Gene Direct. The event was easy for
North Spur, by San Francisco, dam
Mary North, by Moko, owned by Jos
eph McLaughlin, of this city and
driven by Cox. North Spur beat a
good field at Cleveland last Saturday
with a heat In 2.09% and this made
him a favorite for yesterday's race.
There was really nothhig to It J>ut
North Spur In ail three heats and he
proved himself a game and consistent
trotter. Cox always had the stallion
in good position and was contented to
let the others race themselves out
for the first half mile. In the third
heat North Spur showed the way al
most he entire mile and had time
to spare at the finish. The winner
was presented with the Philadelphia
Becord cup in addition to the purse.
Joker D. Lake won second money
and third went to Bourbon Chimes,
which was placed second in the first
heat after being announced as finish
ing fourth. This was an error in
calling the numbers, and when It was
rectified the crowd applauded the
Judges' verdict.
Mamaux Gets Fine For
Violation of His Contract
By Associated Press
Pittsburgh, Aug. 22.—Albert Ma
maux, pitcher of the Pittsburgh Na
tional League club, was notified last
night by Barney Dreyfuss, president
of the club, that he had been sus
pended for the remainder of the sea
son and fined S3OO for participating
In an amateur game here last Sun
day. Mamaux was recently suspend
ed for an Infraction of club rules.
HITS AND OUTS OF THE GAME
The entire Stanley team took an
ascension In the third and it was
dark before the team came down.
"Pete" Shlckley has not given up
hope and looks to "Early" Waltz to
beat the Beactlngltes to-night.
Johnson has a little satisfaction in
the fa A that he was the only player
to secure a bit off Wertz. He singled
through short in the first.
Dunk?e pulled the star play of the
contest in the third when with three
players on base he pulled down
Ibach's long fly with one hand.
Every player on the Beading team
had at least one hit, vulth McCurdy
making two.
Lynch and Ehllng crossed the
plate twice and all of their team
mates except Ibach tallied once.
The breaks of the game went
against the losers, and when they
saw defeat comtng the team hegaf.
to play for time and allowed the win
ners to run up the Bcore,
Klerner at short showed the effects
of beli>g spiked In Monday night's
game, and while credit Is due him
for his pluckysplrlt. he should have
been on the side lines.
Wertz's tossing was too much for
the Stanley team, and most of the
batters were afraid of "Don's" fast
shoots.
NEW RECORDS IN
HANDICAP SHOOT
Amateurs Tic Up in Bainy
Day Events; Some
Long Buns
Chicago, Aug. 22.—The eighteenth
Grand American trapshooting tour
nament will go town in shooting
annals as one of the greatest in the
history of the sport, for not one of
the tournaments which have preced
ed the one now being held at the
South Shore Country Club ever
brought out such competition nor
were such remarkable scores made.
Firing into the face of a driving
1 rain, which blew the wadding back
into the eyes of shooters, and with
conditions anything but right for rec
ord-breaking performances, the trap
shots simply outdid themselves and
put up performances that seem al
most beyond belief. There were 286
shooters in the Chicago Overturn,
the opening event, and four of them
tied with perfect scores of 100. Never
In the history of trapshooting has
such a thing happened. Further
more, thirteen shooters each broke
99 targets.
Then in the national amateur
championship three shooters tied for
the championship, each breaking 99
targets. The singular thing about
'this event is that in the four years
of competition no shooter-has been
able to finish with a clean score.
Henderson, of Lexington, Ky., in
1914; Newcomb, of Philadelphia, In
1915, and Troch, of Washington, in
1916, each broke 99.
National Championship
There were several thousand per
sons on hand when the national
championship event was called. It
was shot on traps six and seven, so
that the gallery would not have to
move. Chezik, the champion of
North Dakota, tired the first shot and
broke his target. Class tells in this
event and the shooting was excep
tionally good.
Six states were not represented:
Louisiana, Maine, New Hampshire,
Bhode Island, South Carolina and
Utah —but counting the United States
Navy there were forty-one partici
pants—the greatest to this time.
Massachusetts, California and Min
nesota were represented by runners
up, and one of the runners up may
prove the national champion. That
individual is Jay Clark, attorney, of
Worcester, Mass. So well did he rep
resent Massachusetts' that he broke
97 targets before missing. It looked
like a perfect score, and was, near
ly. Clark's squad created a record
for four men.
With Dixon, of Missouri, Chatfield,
of Arkansas, and Meyers, of West
Virginia, they broke straight In the
first two squads—2oo without a mis*.
Besides Clark, Mark Arle, of Illinois;
Linn Beauchainp, of Harrington,
Del., and Boy Mclntire, of Butler,
Pa., reached 50 without a miss. Arie
missed his seventy-second target:
Beauchamp his seventy-sixth and
then went to pieces, and Mclntire
failed on his ninety-third target. The
others had finished when Beauchamp
went to the last trap. He had to
break 26 straight to win the title—
and then missed his first target. The
targets were thrown low, and It was
getting misty and the Delawarean
could not locate them.
Lucille Muesel, a 16-year-old miss
of Green Bay, Wis., won the event
for women with 46 out of 60. Mrs.
L. C. Vogel, of Detroit, recognized as
the best of the women amateur trap
shooters, broke 45, missing three in
her last five targets.
1 George' Maxwell, the one-armed
professional shot, twnd ono of the
wonders of the sport, won the pro
fessional event with 99 breaks.
There were 685 entries in the pre
liminary handicap and 805 entries in
the Grand American Handicap.
In the Overture Fred Plum, of
Atlantic City, and Beauchamp broke
90 each; Fred Tomlln, of Penns
grove, 96. which did not get In the
money; Clarence Piatt, of Bridge
ton, 93, and J. H. Winslow, of Vine
land, N. J., 92. Mclntire, the cham
pion, broke 98. Lester German broke
95 in the professional event.

Many spectators were sorely dis
appointed last evening when several
251?. y . A * c - P'ayers quit the field.
While it must be admitted that they
were all in and had been given a
severe trouncing, it was considered
a lack of sportsmanship to quit un
der fire.
Jack Ozar, the Lebanon wrestler,
according to reports is getting a
bank account. A dispatch from Sara -
toga, N. Y., last night says: "In one
of the greatest bouts staged Jack
Ozar, of Lebanon, middleweight
champion wrestler of the world, de
fended his title against Gene Weste
°' Utica, New York, winning a
$3,000 purse."
Scranton'3 baseball team has gone
to smash. Wllkes-Barre handed an
other bump yesterday to the Miners.
It was the latter's seventeenth
straight defeat. Bill Coughlin would
never permit such a thing to hap
pen when he was leader. It Is the
general belief that baseball Is near
death at Scranton.
Bed Crane was up in the batting,
list the other day and started to hit.
He Is no good when near the bot

Hagerstown and Martlnsburg are

MEDICINE MAN IS STINGY
Philadelphia, Aug. 22.—A1l that Pat
