Jack Hayes is as Irish as you find
them. with black hair. blue eyes, a
good-humored and freckled face and a
ton OF confidence in himself With all
his triumphs on the cinder path-and
he has won enough cups and medals
and trophies TO fill a cupboard-he is
a modest chap who doesn't care 10
gable about his own achievements.
When he talked about his chances
In the Marathon before he left this
country young Hayes said to his
friends:
Il know to a breath how far can
run and how fast. | intend to go
right out with the pacemakers, keep

The actual running OF the Mara

Hayes had estimated his own ability
and the strength Of his competitors.

GAM 7 BOOK THE
BALL GAMES

Having pocketed something like
100000 in losses, the big "bookies"
have decided that baseball is not just
what II might be as betting medium.
1t took them just four weeks to dis
cover that the national game could
not be reduced to a scientific method
OF separating the players from their
money for the simple reason that
those who played knew as much about
the game as those who dealt.
Try as they might the bookmakers
were unable to figure any odds that
would look favorable to the betting
fans that would not at the same time
prove disastrous 10 the books.
Those who endeavored TO make bets
yesterday were met with refusals on
the part OF bookmakers to accept

Ketchell at the Coliseum on Aug. IS.
The men are to meet at catchweights,

ring at not less than 175 pounds.
Ketchell., too, will loom up much

PARIS, Aug. 4.-The committee

No doubt is entertained here but that

prize to the Protos.
1t IL understood the committee does
not hold that the Protos car disqual-

Three plays OF an unusual character
were pulled on during the afternoon,
which puzzled both amateur and pro
fessional scorers some. One was on
Hartsels muff OF the fly alluded TO
above at such great length. AS Craw-
ford scored from third on the play. 1t
would have come within the sacrihce-
fly rule beyond question. had Topsy
caught II. The rule. however. say
nothing regarding a fly which Is
muffed in such circumstances, appar-
emily overlooking the fact that out
felders are human. AS the spirit OF
the rule is plain, however. Matty was
given a sacrifice and the first test oI
the rule is up 10 Ban Johnson.
Another puzzler came when, with
Mcintyre on second and Coughlin on
first. both took long leads as II TO
double-steal. Schreek promptly pegged
TO first, but bit low. The ball got a
few feet away from Davis and NC
Intyre took third The official scorer
gave Matty stolen base and he may
therefore be properly designated
child OF fortune for the day
The third play is not so unusual. In

PRESIDENT Frank j. NaV1n OF the De'
troit club sat in the grandstand watch
ing the Tiges slug vickers and re-
marked on the peculiarities that exist
In the life OF a baseball magnate.
"This vickers begged us TO take him
the year we got Jim Wigs" said Mr.,
Navin. They were both pitching in
the outlaw Vermont league and both
were under contract to some other
league club, having jumped. Jack
Warner insisted that Wigs was the
only singer in that league who would
be any use to US and We got Jim and
left Rube. Now Jim Is pitching for
some independent club round Chicago
and Vickers looks like he was going
10 hand II to us today"
Later on in the afternoon Mr.. Navin
remarked that he didn't know what
re Detroit would have for Vickers
were he on It's payroll at that indenti-
cal moment.
Hes got an awful burst OF speed"
the Detroit Napoleon. but
he's q bum fielder and pitchers have
"a be able to field their positions these

Il there anything that travels faster
than q rumor round ball yard? Be-
fore the teams started play somebody
heard that the New York team had
been delayed on its trip to ST. Louis

Poor Rube Vickers!
The Michigan giants luck was GER
tainly all to the punkerino. He pitch
ed a nice game and, with good sup
port, would probably have held the
Detroits TO one run. However, the
Athletics had some luck In their scor-
ing. too.
TWO BREAKS THAT SMELLED
TO THE HIGH HEAVENS PUT THE
ATHLETICS IN THE GARBAGE
CAN.
One OF these was Nickers' own
heave. designed for first base but
bounding into the bleachers. IL was
on a hit by Schaefer and the throw
was useless piece OF business any
way.
However, vickers made noble
effort and the ball tore through
Harry Davis and hoped over the
low fence that restraints the In
habltants of that section when
they mlQht otherwise be stream
ina on the field In mad pursuit OF
the aQjIe imp. II bounded out
AGAIN with neatness and dispatch
but the fact that II had been mo-
nent out Of the technical field OF
play was not lost to the alert eye
Of the kjen-slehted Mr.. Connolly.

round the circuit, rubbering ever and

vickers' fielding ability in words that
must have given the lengthy heaVer

The other crucial break occurred In
the fourth when the Tiges, with the
score 2 to l against them, led on with

field.
