AMERICAN LEAGUE HOLDS
POLITE MEN OF BASEBALL

Is the umpire stan of the American
league so much superior 10 that OF
the National, or are the American
league players just naturally more
amenable to decisions? One thing Is
plain to everybody who attends games
In both leagues. and that is there Is
considerably less kicking In the Amer
lean. There rave been cases too nu-
merous to mention OF players being
fired of the field and suspended In
the National league this year. while
such cases In the American can be
counted on the fingers OF one hand.
Whether or not II Is the umpiring,

AMERICAN LEAGUE
RACE TN NUTSHELL

The Athletics captured two
games from the Maps. In the
second, Pitchers Demott and
Mitchell were found for 10 safe
ties, yet only seven runs were
made. The scoring was cut down
by reckless base running. The
Athletics had seven two-base
hits. Two victories in one day
increased their lead materially.
Well, we'll, the Browns took an
other game from Boston. Boston
had eight hits and ST. Louis six,
but the Browns made theirs
count, winning 2 TO 1.
Scott, Of the White Sox, held
New York to two hits on which
they made two runs. Chicago
found Warhop for seven and
counted thrice. The winning run
came on MeconneiI's three-bae-
ger, Mcconnell being one Of the
men who figured In the trade Of
Harry Lord for Smith and Pur-

BEVERLY, Mass, July 1.-Wil-

today, chatted with him in private
for long time and then left the
summer capital. Loeb took a train
for New York late in the day and
Taft spent the afternoon on the golf
links with Henry Clay Frick, the
steel magnate. Some politicians be-
lieve that Loeb was summoned to
Beverly by Taft and that the collec-
tor fthe port Of New York did not
go as the special representative of
Colonel Roosevelt.
They believe that the president is
anxious to discover Roosevelt's at
titude toward the administration,
and particularly the stand he will
take in the coming campaign. Re-
publican congressman are demand

clared, and Taft may have sum-

didates whose seats in the next

The majority of the politicians,
however, cling to the belief that
Loeb represented Roosevelt and
that he went to Beverly to carry a
message from T. r., and bring back
an answer.
