HONESTY OF BASE BALL.
Athletics Cleveland Series Proves
That Players Play No Favorites.

The honesty of base ball was never
better demonstrated than in the recent
series between the Athletics and Cleve-
lands, writes Ed Bang in the Cleveland
News. 1t was proven in two decisive
ways.
1t is doubtful IL there il a single player
on the Cleveland team who would prefer
Detroit to the Athletics. The Maps are
for Connie Macks team not because
they have anything against the Tigers.
but simply because ball players don't
care to see one team hog everything
The Tigers have thrice won the Johnson
ian pennant and shared tho receipts OF
the worlds series. the losers end. The
Maps naturally would like to see the
Athletics win and get share Of the
coin. and also try to win for the Amer.-
can League. something the Tigers failed
to do.
Did the Maps lay down 70 further their
desires? Most decidedly no. Despite
their feelings in the ,Jmatter they played
their heads OF to trim Connie Mack's
team, and Il questionable II there ever
was a harder fought series. IN the
opening contest the Maps forced Philadel-
phia to go twelve innings to win. to 8.
The next day Mack's bunch was lucky to
win. to I, in ten innings, while the hnal
game was handed over only after q
grueling to i battle.
Incidentally all of the Athletic players
would much prefer to see L.ajote land
the buzz wagon than Cobb. The big
Frenchman is decided favorfte with
Quaker City fans and players, while MT
Tyrus Cobb of the Detroit Tigers. ia In
very bad with the Philadelphia fans and
Athletics.
Did the Athletics boost LArry's average
because OF their friendship toward him
and their hatred for Cobbf Not by

SPEEDWAY HELMET
FOR EDDIE HEARNE
Wins Trophy and ST, 900 Cash
in Automobile Races at
Indianapolis.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. September g.
Benz car to victory In Ithe 10O-mile free
for-all and the ten-miie open event for
the Speedway helmet. and SO carried Off
the majority OF the laurels in the first
day OF the final race meeting upon the
Indianapolis speedway here today
Hearne's victory In the l0O-mile battle
netted him $1,000 In cash. and by win
ming the short free-for-all he retained
possession Of the speedway helmet
which he had captured at the July meet
ing with the same machine. and which
bears with 1t a salary of $50 per week.
The second 1O0-mile struggle Of the
program was open to stock chassis cars
under $50 cubic inches piston displace-
ment, and the Blue National. driven by
Howard Wilcox, won without a stop I'm
the fast time of So minutes and sec
onds. with Charles Merz. in the other
National entrant a good second. The
Speedwell, driven by Jap" Clemens. was
the third in the race TO receive the check
cred flag.
Wilcox Is a new star among the firma-
ment Of racing stars and by his remark
able nonstop success in the long stock
chassis race gains possession OF the sill
yer braSSard, which carries salary OF
SIS per week until the end of the speed
way contest season. and also takes into
the national camp a trophy cup, both OF
which were offered for the 100-mile brass
ard classic.
The stock car race was more closely
contested than the free-for-all. The two
Nationals and a Marmon. driven by Joe
Dawson, battled around the two and one
half mile circuit until the Marmon in
CURED motor trouble IS II was coming
into the stretch at high speed and SC
was forced to retire In the sixty-seventh
mile.
The westcott car. driven by knight.
took second money In the 1ong-distance
free-for-ali competition, and Livingston
hurled a stock National across the wire
for third honors.
Hearne's Benz was not crowded at any
time. He did not experience any tire
trouble, and stopped only once for more
oil. The Chicago youngster and his for
eign car averaged IS miles an hour for
the entire 100 miles. but his time OF "a
minutes and 5S.1 seconds does not lower
any Iacords.
The Entire program OF ten events to-
day failed to produce q new mark. and
no accidents marred 1t. The racing will
continue Monday. and the program will
conclude with q 20O-mile big stock chas-
sis battle. which will end the motor
racing over the local course for the
season.

The figures shown In the tables which
are hereto appended and compiled from
the official tabulated scores of the 12l
games contested by the Nationals with
the other seven teams in the race for
the American League championship
pennant published In the columns OF The
Star give an accurate description Of the
work OF each of the players Of the Ma
tionals' team to Saturday. September 3.
The team won five OF the eight games
played during the past week with De-
troit, st. Louis and Philadelphia Oath
letics), and the three defeats were hard
fought contests.
Lelivelt still leads the team in batting
with an average OF .a1S, a gain Of zoe,
and batted 500 for the week as a pinch
hitter. and Milan is only .OOo points be-
hind. with .276. q gain Of .OO5 for the
week. Unglaub batted at a .407 clip In
the eight games played. and increased
his percentage .O13. which IS encourag-
Ing. The team has improved in base
running and sacrifice hitting. as gain
Of nine sacrifice hits and thirteen stolen
bases will prove. A perusal Of the fig
ures will give the reader better idea
of the Nationals work to date.
