Slim Love Beat E. Brown Easily
T HE last game of the aerlea and
the Mason with the Billikcns
begins at 3 o'clock this after
noon, the time being shoved forward
half 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
at a stand-off.
Bill 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 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.

W HEN one pitcher has an off
day, and another pitcher,
pitching against that pitcher,
has an on day, the first pitcher is
duo 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
thp Friday game at Ponce DeLeon.
E. Brown was having an off day,
and fhe “E” stood for easy.
Slim Love was having an on day.
That was all there was to It.
S TILL, 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 thnt 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 Billiken 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
scnears with his good whip.
• • •
E BROWN’S middle finger on h1s
• 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 is*ear and tear of curve
ball pitching, while the fast ones had
an inch less leverage back of them.
That makes a lot of difference.
m • •
R l’T 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 sum port 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 Billies had
* their only real shy at a tally.
Sloan opened with a single and
went to necond when T.ong stuttered
with his hands. An out put him on
third, and the lnfle,ld crept in on the
erase Love did his part, and Sloan
died at the plate on a bounder to
Smith.
• • ■
T HE rest of the way was rose-
strewn for the tall hurler. His
I control was excellent, and he worked
his change of pace at intervals. But
mostly it was the old swift on the
ball, with a startling hop that was
hard to hit anywhere profitably.
It may” have been that Bill Smith
J was playing a hunch when he selected
Love for slab duty. If so. it was h
beaut’ hunch. Love looked better
than in a%y 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 tlie 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:
Grlbbens 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 eenterflelder 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.
Love's caressing manner when he
picked up McDow-ell’s bunt in the
seventh and held It until too late to
peg out the runner.

J ACINTO CALVO goes back to
Clark Griffith with a fractured
throwing arm as a memento of
his pastiming in the Southern League,
and A1 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 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 GO
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 h’s
first appearance as a principal *n a
boxing card. He came here from
Wyoming as sparring purtner 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 bv 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 Joinings, 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 costlv
stadlums 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 bas^'mll 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 ot it. Johnson
and his backers had rtMl money, and
the rest was easy.”

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 tw r o 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

'breaks' in baseball, and in a series
as important and as short as the
world’s championship, it always has
proved a prominent factor."
