Here’s How the Athletics
Manage to Hit Ball So Hard
For Severn I years it has been charged that the Athletics by some
method or otlie** have been stealing *he opposing team’s battery signals,
which has enabled thorn to hit mos* any kln.l of pitching. Whether,
this is irin or not, no one willing to do so is able to say, but there is no
doubt* that the team has been benefited by the fact that this suspicion
exist**.
There is one noticeable fact in the offensive work of the Athletics
which may to some extent explain t) * ir remarkable hitting. It is that
in most instances the batters are lotting with two balls and no strikes
on them, and frequently with tlie count three to one in their favor. They
are picking tlie spots when the pitcher is trying to get the ball over
the plate and when he L not putting much on the sphere. The Atlilet-
Ics do not do much waiting when there are men on the bases. They are
taking their wallops at such times, which may account for the large
number of runs they are scoring.
7ALTER JOHNSON and Boeh-
ling, two Washington twirl-
ers, are fighting it out for
the pitching honors of Ban Johnson’s
circuit. Boehling has taken part in
thirteen games this season and has
managed to put eleven of these on
the right side of the ledger. The real
honors, however, go to Johnson. The
big hurler has won twenty-five games
so far this season, while he has tasted
defeat but five times.
Brown and Bender, of the Ath
letics are also showing much class
on the firing line. Both have a per-
| centage over the .700 mark.

To End of Season

Says He Can Stand it as
Well as Radbourne.
LEADS HDDLEDS
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 9.—“I will volun
teer to pitch every other day from
September 1 to the end of the sea
son. if at that time you think we are
near enough to race the Athletics for
the pennant.” said Walter Johnson
to Clark Griffith here recently. “Re
gard that an a promise; know that I
will be able to do it without impair
ing my form, and in the meantime
instruct the other fellows to pitch
their arms off every time without fear
of what shape they will be in later.
“If Radbourne and other old-timers
could do it. so can I. You also can
call on me for three games in each
of the two remaining series with the
Athletics.”

Motor Truck’s Work
Has Only Started,
Says Geo, C. Diehl
“Motor trucks must be reckoned
with as factors in transportation
Their economic advantage in short
haifis us causing their adoption by
hundreds where the roads have been
improved; and the vast extension ot
their use only waits for the roads to
be built. Their fullest utilization will
come when all the main roads of the
country are constructed to accommo
date them. In and near the large
centers of population they are rap
idly displacing horses in the trans
port of commodities.” So declared
Chairman George C. Diehl, of the A.
A. A. National Good Roads Board.
“Civilization has never witnessed
such a change as has taken place In
the transportation of persons and

With the railroad for the carriage of
through freight, good roads and au

a perfect system of transportation,

CLEVELAND, Aug. 9.—Nap La
joie, the greatest second baseman the
game has ever seen, balked when
Manager Birmingham of the Cleve
land Naps sought to bench him. He
is still at second.
Larry has been a leading figure in
the game since 1896. It was in that
year that he was “discovered” on the
Fall River club by Philadelphia of
the National League and joined the
latter team.
With the Phillies in 1896 he hit for
an average of .331 and attracted at
tention in baseball circles everywhere
He was the sensational recruit of the
year.
In 1902 Larry, then the idol of the
baseball world, came to Cleveland.
Here he has been ever since. Soon
'after bis arrival he was made man
ager of the Naps. His most suc
cessful season in thta capacity was
in 1908, when the Naps finished sec
ond to Detroit by one-half a game.
He retired in 1909 ns manager.
During his entire seventeen years
in the ganie Larry has never hit be
low the .300 mark except twice
That was in the 1907 and 1908 sea
sons.
Larry didn’t like the idea that he is
through with the big leagues.
‘‘No, I'm not through with base
ball,” he declared. “I am far from
being all in. But I am not going to
be driven out by Joe Birmingham.
“Looks as if the hot weather had
got someone and that someone is
trying to make me the goat becauae
the club has been losing a few
games.”
B ILL PROUGH, of the Barons, l?
leading the Southern League
hurlers with 19 victories and 4
loses. E. Brown is a close second
with 17 wins and 6 defeats. Coveles-
kie comes third with 28 winning
games to his credit against 9 loses.
Price is the Crackers’ leading
pitcher. Gilbert has copped 13 vic

CLASS D LEAGUE PITCHER
CHICAGO. Aug. 9.—Charles W. Mur
phy, owner of the Chicago Cubs, la ne
gotiating for the purchase of the release
of Herbert Hall, star slabman of the
