CLEVELAND Is CHARGED
WITH FARMING PLAYERS,

CINCINNATI, O., Aug. 1s.-The
Cleveland Club, Of the American
League, is in all sorts of trouble with
the National Commission. which has
called an apparently wholesale policy
of farming" in defiance of the ma
tional agreement.
The commission has found that dur
ing the past season Cleveland flied with
the National Commission agreements
of sale of a number of players. These
were approved by the commission. II
now transpires that Cleveland accepted
promissory notes from the minor league
teams to whom players were turned
over, and that these notes bore no in
terest, We're not turned into a bank
for collection, but called for payment
between August Is and 90. and We're
cancelled by the Cleveland club.
The commission believes hat the
notes were u blind and that there was
no money consideration involved,
Pending an explanation from the Cleve-
land club, the players who Cleveland
had notified the commission We're re
called, have been declared eligible to
sale or draft by other clubs.
The players involved are: Charles
Pruitt, of Toledo; Otto Hess, of Column
bus; Jacob Daubert and Fl. Il. Ray, OF
Nashville; William Hille, William Speas
and Dick Breen, of Akron, o. In casa
the charges of the National Commission
are substantiated, Cleveland and the
minor league clubs involved will he
severely disciplined.

GRIFFITH SAYS
DETROIT IS SURE
TO WIN PENNANT
Yankees Former Manager
Claims Tigers Will Also Win
Worlds Championship.

Clarke Griffith, former manager of
the Highlan6ers, picks Detroit to win
the American League pennant and the
worlds championship this fall.
Jennings has about the finest base
ball team ever gathered together said
Griffith yesterday afternoon. "To my
mind there is nothing in either league
that classes with the Tigers. l believe
that the American League champions
are 90 per cent. stronger than a year
ago. Just look at the way That bunch
is hitting. Rossman is playing a rat
Ting good game at first base, and he is
hitting like a demon. And 20 cannot
find two better clouters or all-around
players han Cobb and Crawford.
There is no second baseman in the
league that has anything on Schaefer.
O'Leary is hitting better than. he did
a year ago. The outfield is the strong
est in the country.
There Is only one chance weakness
in the aggregation, sand that is in the
box. Donovan does not appear to be
in as good shape as a year ago.. But
a club that can clout like the Tigers
does not need such classy pitchers. I
think, at that. the pitching staff is
stronger than in some years. Killian
is off color right now, but Mullin and
Donovan are about the average, and in
Willetts and Summers Jennings has
two youngsters who are hard to beat.
MANY will tell you that Detroit is
weak in the receiving end. Don't let
anyone kid you that way, Schmidt is
n grand catcher in my estimation.
He was badly crippled last year, but
just keep o vi eye OF him the next few
days. He's a plugger. If had a ball
club there is no one I would sooner
have on my staff than this same
Schmidt.
II figure Detroit to win the worlds
championship, If they repeat in the
race and no bad luck befalls the club.
because of the all-around ability of
the players. Last years experience has
been a lesson to Detroit. That club
will hit any of the National League
pitchers. I look for a bitter battle I'm
the worlds championship, but I also
look for Detroit to win, II the cham
pions can stand off st. Louis for the
flag, st. Louis, to my mind, is about
to blow"

WAGNER PUTS

New York Bantam Uses Left
Shift Effectively and
Wins in Fifth.

NEW YORK, Aug, 1S.-Joe Wagner
the local 115-pound champion, slowed
away Billy Barrett in the third round
of the wind-up attraction before the
Roman A. G. last night. Barrett put
up a fair argument the first two rounds,
but he ran into one of Wagner's justly
celebrated left shifts toward the mid
die of the third, with an unprotected
stomach, and found himself stretched
on the ioor for the count. He crawled
to his pins. however, at nine, but he
was a bit unstable and another left
shift to h same section of his ali
mentary apparatus put Billy out.
Barrett was sorely puzzled ali the
way by that left shift of his victorious
adversary.

may be placed at third. as Conroy's
ankle Is weak. The New York and
Cleveland management held many con-
situations during the recent visit of
the Maps and a trade with the Blues

New York needs gardeners.
