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 stnnd-ofT BUI Smith has nominated Elliott Dent to put the Anal 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 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 ington with an Injured arm. THREE ATHLETICS RETURN HOME TO GET “REPAIRED" PHII.A DELPHI A, Aug J8.—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 Deague leaders for the pennant. The player? are Catcher Dapp. who has a broken finger. Outfielder Strunk wrenched leg. and Utility Inflelder Orr, w ho has a badly swollen hand.

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.

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.

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.” HARRY H0LLMAN WINS FLAT ROCK TENNIS Harry Hollman, well known in At lanta tennis circles, was twice a win ner recently in the Highland Lake Ciub’s tennis tournament at Flat Rock, N. C. Mr Hollman w’on the club trophy in singles and with Jack Monroe, of New Orleans, captured the Hemlock trophy in the men’s doubles.
