The game Is Important, as deciding the title to second place for the time being. The Billies now have a couple of points' edge on the Crackers, mere ly by reason of the fact that the clubs have not played the same number of games, the victories and defeats being at a stand-off Bill Smith has nominated Elliott Dent to put the final game where It belongs, while Manager Dobbs Is con fronted with the problem of having to work Curley Brown again, he hav ing suffered a beating In the opening game, or a youngster without experi ence In this company. A new outfielder will bo exhibited to the fans to-day—A1 Nixon, who was bought by the Crackers this spring from the Virginia League an 1 farmed to Macon. He bats and pegs left-handed, and will replace the Cu ban Calvo, who returns to Wash ington with an Injured arm. THREE ATHLETICS RETURN HOME TO GET "REPAIRED" PHILADELPHIA, Aug 23.—'Three Injured players of the Philadelphia Athletics arrived home from the West to-day to get into condition for the final dash of the American League leaders for the pennant. The players are Catcher Lapp, who has a broken finger. Outfielder Strunk, wrenched leg. and Utility Infielder Orr, who ha* a badly swollen hand. vcrtEM A MAN WAmj A HAIR CUT he comes straight to “Leslie’s" There he gets the right kind The sanitary conditions are per feet there. “77.o ittlc White Shop Around the Corner” ns« to c. Alabama E Ll_ - PLAC, Bv 0. B. Keeler. W HEN one pitcher has an off day, and another pitcher, pitching against that pitcher, has an on day, the first pitcher is d-ue for a licking. And that goes, if the first pitcher is C. Mathewson. Or (to bring it down here where we live) Elmer $7,000 Brown. That was the stick-out feature of the Friday game at Ponce DeLeon. E. Brown was having an off day, j and the ”E” stood for easy. Slim Love was having an on day. That was all there was to it. • • • CTILL. there is one point that may ^ well be noted as having to do with Mr. Brown’s easiness. The bum finger mentioned in the advance stuff on the game evidently had a lot to do with lack of control and absence of the old anti-hit tonic on the pill in the tight places. Brow’n walked five men in seven Innings, hut that doesn't measure the e>tent of his wildness. He wan in tK hole with nearly every batter; when he didn’t walk, he had a chance to hit at the Bllliken pitcher’s de livery minus some of its stuff—for, say what you w ill, no human pitcher regularly crowds the next one when the count Is three and one. And jgh^n it is three and two, that last one goes up there with a prayer on it in addition to what the petitioner smears with his good whip. • • • T? BROWN’S middle finger on his ^ pitching hand has recently shed a large blister, that almost covered the first joint, inside. The new skin was tender and in no condition to stand the wear and tear of curve ball pitching, while the fast ones had an inch less leverage back of them. That makes a lot of difference. OUT now we start the second reel. ** and it is a long one. having to cover Slim Love at full strength. Chapman caught the long boy. and seemed to steady him and give him a lot of confidence. Certainly Chap- } man's support was encouraging, and it enabled Slim to allow four hits in seven innings and still hold the total number of batsmen facing him to 22—something of a stunt in itself. • • • | N the fifth inning the Billies had * their only real shy at a tally. Sloan opened with a single and went to second when Long stuttered with his hands An out put him on third, and the infield crept in on the grass lx>ve did his part, and Sloan died at the plate on a bounder to Smith. • • • THE rest of the way wns rose- * strewn for the tall hurler. His control was excellent, and he worked his change of pnee at intervals. But mostly it was the old swift on the hall, with a startling hop that was* | hard to hit anywhere profltab’v. It may have been that Bill SmMh was placing a hunch w hen he selected Love for slab duty. If 90, it was a beaut’ hunch* Love looked h*»tt* r I than in any of his previous exhibi tions He certainly had an on day. T HE Crackers got three hits and the same number of runs off Brown in the first six innings, the wallops being mixed judiciously with Elmer’s wildness. Three more hits fell out in the seventh and final round, and a couple of errors and a base on balls ran up five more mark ers in that frame. Then the sky, which had been threatening to leak for several in nings, came all apart, and the game was over. • • • A FEATURE of the contest was Brown’s three-base peg past first In the opening session , on which Tommy Long rode home. Tommy got another run later and needs only six more this season to get in the record class. Other notable plays Gribbens bumping Joe Agler off tho track when Joe was trying to score on a double steal in the second. Joe bounced so far that Grib got the ball on him before he could scramble back to the plate. Agler’s sliding tag on McDowell in the fourth, when Chapman nipped the speedy centerflelder off first. Tommy Long’s neat catch of El- wert’s long drive in the seventh. Tommy ran away with the wallop, turned' at the right place, and froze it. I move’s caressing manner when he picked up McDowell’s bunt In the seventh and held it until too late to peg out the runner. PJAILY feature; The Gulls won again. I'rospects for second place: Fair and warmer. For first place: Cloudy, with showers. J ACINTO CALVO goes back to Clark Griffith with a fractured throwing arm as a memento of his pastimlng in the Southern League, and AI Nixon, farmed to Macon, in the Sally League, will play in right field for the Crackers this afternoon. The little Cuban w’as hit by one of Curly Brown’s fast pitches in the first game of the double-header Thursday, and his throwing arm was so damaged that he was forced to leave the game. In the last Inning of the second game he ran for Chap man and was out trying to steal sec ond base, wrenching the injured arm in his dash. Friday an X-ray pho tograph showed evidences of what is termed a ’’green-stick” fracture, or partial break. Nixon was recalled at once. He has been playing fine ball for the Peaches, and in his final game yes terday he hit a double and a triple in four times at bat. He is a fast man, with a good throwing arm. Last year he played in the Virginia League JOHN "BULL" YOUNG NEAR DEATH FROM WILLARD GOj LOS ANGELES, Aug. 23.—John •Bull” Young, the heavyweight who was knocked out by Jess Willard in the eleventh round at Vernon Arena last night, has a bare chance for re covery. according to the surgeons who operated upon him. He has not re gained consciousness, but his tem perature and respiration showed con siderable improvement. The operation was undertaken as the only chance of saving the pugi list’s life. Young was still uncon scious from the effect of Willard s right uppercut to the chin when the doctors opened his skull, and no anesthetic was used for the opera tion. Young’s bout with Willard was his first appearance as a principal in a boxing card. He came here from Wyoming as sparring partner of Lu ther McCarty, who was killed by a blow from Arthur Pelky at Calgary. He was greatly devoted to McCarty, and it was he who insisted, after Mc Carty’s death, that the latter had been poisoned, and asked for an ex amination of McCarty’s stomach. His theory, however, was scouted by those who had handled McCarty and wen* at the ringside when he met death. Expansion of New League Would Cost At Least $5,000,000 DETROIT, MICH., Aug. 23.—The report that the Federal League would expand for 1914 and take in several Eastern cities has opened talk from the major league managers. ‘‘In order to establish a circuit that can live, the Federal League pro moter - must have at least $5,000,000,” declares Hugh Jennings, of the De troit Tigers. ’’There is no demand for this or ganization, for the baseball public is plentifully supplied with amusement by the two major leagues. The cogtlv stadiums in the various cities afford such accommodations that the public will not patronize cheaper plants. "The players under contract to the National and American Leagues are receiving big salaries. In order to entice some of them to jump, the Federal league would be comoelled to put up increased salaries in cold cash and guarantee pay for more than one or two years. The Federal League this year is run on a cheap basis. The best players receive $200 a month. That is why the outlaw promoters haven’t been driven to the wall. “When the American League broke into organized base >all conditions were much different than now. The National League had abandoned sev eral good cities and the club owners had become unpopular with the pub lic and the players. “There was room for a second major league circuit, and Ban John son took advantage of tt.

WORLD'S SERIES WILL BE CLOSE, SAYS FRANK CHANCE ST. LOUIS, MO:. Aug. 23.—Lasing his prediction oi) the assumption that the Giants and Athletics will be the contenders, Frank Chance forcasts a remarkable struggle for world’s championship honors this autumn. “The leaders of the two leagues ap pear to be evenly matched,” said Chance, in discussing the teams, “and I look for a close, exciting series. In my opinion the winning club will be the one that gets the early ‘breaks’ in the play. You can’t eliminate the ‘breaks’ in baseball, and in a series as important and as short as the world’s championship, it always has proved a prominent factor.” 0. & F.
