T HE last gam* of the teries and
the season with the Billikens
begins at 3 o’clock this after
noon, the time being shoved forward
hslf an hour by way of giving the
visitors a chance to hook an early
rattler for New Orleans, where they
are scheduled to appear Sunday.
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

Dent to put the Anal game where It

ing suffered a beating in the opening
game, or a youngster without experi
ence in this company.
A new outfielder will be exhibited
to the fanR to-day—A1 Nixon, w'ho
was bought by the Crackers this
spring from the Virginia Deague and
farmed to Macon. He bats and pegs
left-handed, and will replace the Cu
ban Calvo, who returns to Wash

Around the Corner"
LESLIE’S PLACE, ^ mm
By O. 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
due 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 stlck-out feature of
the Friday game at Ponce DeLeon.
E. Brown was having an off day,
and the "E” stood for easy.
Slim Love wb? 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.
Brown walked five men in seven
innings, but that doesn’t measure the
extent of his wildness. He was In
the hole with nearly every batter;
when he didn’t walk, he had a chance
to hit at the BUliken pitcher's de
livery minus some of its stuff—for.
say what you will, no human pitcher
regularly crowds the next one when
the count Is three and one. And
when It is three and two, that last
one goes up there with a prayer on
It In addition to what the petitioner
amears with his good w'hlp.
• • •
T7 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.
« • •
BI T now’ we start the second reel
** and It Is a long one. having to
gover Slim Dove 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.
• • •
I N the fifth Inning the Fillies had
* their only real shv at a tally.
Sloan opened with a single and
went to ?*cond when Dong stuttered
with his hands. An out put him on
third, and the Infield crept in on the
grass. IjOvp did his part, and Sloan
died at the plate on a bounder to
Smith.
• • ■
T*HE rest of the way was rose-
1 strewn for the tall hurler. His
control was excellent, and he worked
his change of pace at intervals. But
mostly it was the old swift on the
bail, with a startling hop that wav
hard to hit anywhere profitable
It may have been that Bill Smith
was playing a hunch when he selected
Dove for 9lab duty. If so. it was h
beaut* hunch. Love looked better
than in any of his previous exhibi
tions ^
He certainty had an on day.
T HE trackers got three hits and
the same number of runs off
Browm in the first six innings, the
wallops being mixed Judiciously w ith
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 Jpe 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 oenterftelder 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.
Dove’s caressing manner when he
picked up McDowell’s bunt In the
seventh and held It until too late to
peg out the runner.

D AILY feature: The Gulls won
again.
Prospects for second place: Fair
and warmer.
For first place: Cloudy, with
showers.
JOHN “BULL” YOUNG NEAR
DEATH FROM WILLARD GO
DOS 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 thg 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.

J ACINTO CALVO goes back to
Clark Griffith with a fractured
throwing arm as a memento of
his pastlming in the Southern League,
and Al Nixon, farmed to Macon, In
the Sally League, will play in right
field for the Crackers this afternoon.
.The little Cuban was 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 show’ed 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.

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
moters must have at least $6,000,000,”
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 coatlv
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 Lengrue would be comoelled
to put up increased salaries in coki
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 baseball conditions
were much different than now. The
National League had abandoned sev
eral good cities and the club ou'ners
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 it. Johnson
and his backers had real money, and
the rest was easy.” ^
Manager Chance, of the Yankees, has
sold Infielder McKechnle to the St. Paul
club, of the American Association.
When the Boston Nationals drafted Mc
Kechnle from the St. Paul club last
year there was an understanding that
If he was ever sent back to a minor
league. St. Paul should get the first
chance.

Pitcher Roy Mitchell, of the St. Louis

WORLD’S SERIES WILL BE
CLOSE, SAYS FRANK CHANCE
ST. LOUIS, MO:. Aug 23—Basing
his prediction on 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.”
