SATURDAY, SEPT. 26.
Tigers Snarling at Lajoie s Heels, Two Points Behind;
; Cubs Again Make Life Miserable For McGraw s Giants
BASEBALL MAGNATE EXPIRED
WHEN NEWS GAME OVER PHONE
THAT CLEVELAND WAS LOSING
CLEVELAND, Ohio. —Frank de
Hass Robinson, former owner of the
Cleveland National league club, pres
ent owner of the St. Louis Nationals,
and formerly one of the leading street
railway magnates of Cleveland, died
yesterday afternoon of apoplexy, at
his home.
Although a National leaguer, he
was a great rooter for the Naps. Yes
terday he was slightly indisposed and
unable to attend the game between
Cleveland and Washington. He ar
ranged, however, to have the game
told him over the telephone, play by
play.
LEADERS BUNCHED
IN BICJEGUES
CLEVELAND, O.—Probably the
greatest baseball race that ever hap
pened is the one of this season in
the American League, although the
National League, which has more
clubs bunched, is almost as exciting,
.lust It; points separate the first four
clubs in the younger major league.
The Naps still hold down first place,
despite the fact that they lost to
the Senators yesterday, while the
Tigers are second by their two wide
victories over the Athletics. Chicago,
while laid off yesterday, is third, ten
points behind Detroit, while St. Louis,
which also lost to the Bostons, is
fourth.
Pitcher Ed Summers, who was pur
chased from the Indianapolis club,
probably did the greatest pitching
stunt in major league circles this
year when he twirled both games for
Detroit against the Athletics, and won
both of them.
SALLY LEAGUE FORMALLY
. ADMITS TWO NEW CLUBS
Letters have been sent out by Sec
retary J. H. Farrell, of the national
commission, stating that Chattanooga
trod Columbus had been formally ad
milled to membership in the South
Atlantic League.
This official notice from the na
tional commission settles the matter
of an eight club circuit for the Sallie
in 1909. Should any one of the old
v.embers throw up the sponge, which
n not likely, however, the old Saliie
would be safe and sound with at least
six clubs to do business next year.

When the first half of the ninth
was told him, the news that Wash
ington had scored five runs, he drop
ped the receiver from his hand and
fell into a stupor, from which he
never rallied.
Mr. Robinson was formerly a mil
lionaire, and at his death was the
owner of considerable valuable real
estate in Cleveland. His street rail
way and baseball losses, however,
have been very heavy. He entered
baseball in 1887 and owned the Cleve
land club until 1900, when he trans
ferred his interest to St. Louis, hav
ing owned both clubs in 1899.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. —Manager McAleer
of the Browns has been suspended.
Umpire O’Loughlin received a long
distance telephone message from Pres
ident Ban Johnson of the American
league yesterday afternoon, inform
ing him that the boss of the Browns
had been “set down” as a result of
his "run-in’' with Umpire Kerin, on
Wednesday at Sportsman's Park, In
the game with the Washingtons. “I
do not know how many days McAleer
gets,” O'Loughlin said. "Mr. Johnson
merely told me McAleer stood sus
pended and to keep him off the
grounds until further notice."
CLUB SECRETARY CHARGED
WITH SWIPING ROLL BONDS
CHICAGO.—On the charge of steal
ing $4,000 worth of Illinois Athletic
club bonds and S2OO in money, and of
passing several worthless cheeks,
George Hill, assistant to Secretary
George,. Lytton, of the club, was ar
rested last night and locked up.
When questioned Hill made a par
tial confession that 37 of the stolen
bonds, worth SIOO each, were recov
ered. Hill admitted also that he had
passed several worthless checks.
Hill passed a worthless check for
S2O. drawn on the Hamilton National
bank early in the morning, on Clar
ence Green, manager of the club, who
found by chance that Hill w r as taking
money sent to the secretary of the
club.
No rain Is predicted for this week,
and the farmers arc beginning to taka
hope.

TIGERS IN BOTH,
NOW RUNNING
IN 'SECOND
PLAGE
The Washington Senators won from
the Naps yesterday by the score of
6 to 1. Witherup, the Washington
pitcher, had the batting eyes of the
Naps withered up and got away with
his game in great stylo.
The Tigers took a sudden brace
| yesterday and won both games of a
double biil with the Athletics, shoving
them into second place as the White
Sox did not play, and within two
points of the Naps.
That "dark horse," the Boston Red
Sox, seem to have upset the caleula
tlans of all the teams during the past
couple of weeks. First they step on
the toes of the Tigers and now they
take the Browns in hand and trim
them.
The White Sox and Yankees wore
not scheduled for yesterday, but a
double bill will probably be pulled off
today.
Tigers Win Both Games.
DETROIT, Mich. Summers pitched
both games for Detroit and made his
record seven consecutive victories
over Philadelphia. Detroit ran liases
in sensational style in the first game,
and this, with bunched hits, decided
it. The second game was a great, ha -
lie between pitchers, decided by Ross
i man’s home run in the tenth. Sum
! mors gave one hit and no passes in
the regular nine innings.

GITS
How the mighty have fallen. The
lowly Cincinnati Reds took a double
fall out of the New York Giants Fri
day, and our old friend Bob Spade
was the cause of their first fall
down. Dubec, practically a new man,
worked for the Reds in the second
contest, and won in a walk.
McGraw tried Ills new pitchers in
the first game, Marquard. the "SII,OOO
beauty,” and Durham. In the second
game "Iron Man" Joe McGinnlty was
the victim.
While the Giants were losing to the
Reds, the Cubs took a trip across
"tlie bridge" and handed a dose to
the Dodgers, moving up to within
one point of the Giants.
The Pirates found it hard sledding
in Beantown. The Doves captured
ihe first contest, lint lost tile second.
The Phillies pounded Lush and Sal
lee vigorously and won in a canter
from the Cardinals, score It to 1.
Cincinnati Wins Two.
NEW YORK.—The Cincinnati
| knocked out of the box at the Polo
grounds Friday two of New York’s
1 new pitcher* and gave the local club
a double-header setback, 7 to 1, ami
5 to 2, which, with the other results
of the day, leaves New York but a
single point of margin pennnntward.
Marquard, the acquisition from the
Indianapolis club, was retired lu the
fifth inning of the first game, after
five runs had been scored, and Dur
ham soon lost effectiveness, and was
relieved in the eighth by Taylor, af
ter two more runs had been scored.
New York lost the second game
through Inability to hit Dubec, while
McGinnlty was knocked out in Ihe
[second. Crandall pitched out the
game. Cincinnati fielded cleanly,
while New York's work in the field
was far below its usual form.

CRANE’S "CON”
(By Sam Crane.)
NE\v YORK.—A one-point lead does
not have such a nifty look ns thirteen,
but 1 don’t think lls quite time yet
to put on the mourning apparel.
The Giants still have a chance and
John J. McGraw is of the opinion, pub
licly expressed, too, that If the Giants
beat the Cincinnati Reds both games
tills afternoon, the Giants will cop the
rug.
"Let us see,” said McGraw, limt
evening, "we still have 13 games to
play—two more with Cincinnati,night
with the Phillies and three with the
Bostons; nine games at home, anil
four in Philadelphia. If wo win eleven
out of those thirteen we will have
Ilm pennant (-Inched, no mattor what
the Cubs or Pirates do. Well, wa
can do that. If il comes down lo 1*
pinch I will pilch Matty six of those
Ihlrteen games; Wlllse will bo good
for four, and Ames and Grandall can
take care of Iho rest, Yes, sir; 1
think we can win Ihe eleven games.”
And, mind you, lie talked in tills
confident way lifter his Giants had lost
Iwo very lough games to the Reds,
and when, as he said, Ills team look
ed far from good. There Is no doubt
hut that several of the Giants are not
