BLINKING INDIAN
FEARED BY MACK
AS SIGNAL DEVICE
Clever Wooden Sign in De-
troit Now Wriggles Its
Eyes No More.

DETROIT. July 13-Speaking Of tip
ping off the signals Of the opposing
teams there is a wooden Indian with
movable eyes out at Bennett park that
caused Connie Mack to sit up and take
notice the last time he was in De-
troit with his champions.
This Indian, which is placed at an
exalted position in connection with a
big advertisement of a local restau-
rant early in the season attracted q
heap OF attention by the way the eyes
in the figure were manipulated.
These eyes would be changed from
right to left and reverse and up and
down. They simply could not behave.
occasion of the first visit of the year
of the Athletics he was told that the
movable eyes were simply the Tigers
system of tipping off signals of the
Mackmens pitchers 1t is said that
Connie was highly indignant over the
audacIty Of the Detroits' plan Of steal
ing signs from the opposing team and
set out Immediately to crush the mon
strosity.
He reported the matter to Ban John
son, with the result that the presi-
dent of the American League came here
to investigate. Before he left town
the eyes ceased to wink and blink and
a clever advertising scheme was nip
ped in the bud.
But the Tigers meanwhile failed to get
wise to the huge signal-tipping plant
that Connie suspected they had in
stalled for their benefit at Bennett
park.

Walker did nothing at the bat and
had little to do in the field.
Cunningham hit the ball hard, but was
robbed of two hits by fine catches. His
one hit was a beauty. His fielding was
good.

, Neal Ball poked savage one over
Groom's head to center. Topsy Turner
then delivered the goods by nearly knock
ing the right-field screen down with a
double, scoring Ball and reaching third
himself on Gessler's slam to the plate.
Again Groom buckled down to work and
tossed out Fisher.
The eighth saw the winning run sail
over. Stovall opened with a resounding
safety to center and was sacrificed by
Birmingham. He took one more while
Elberfeld was getting Ball at the first
corner, and had no trouble making the
run on Turner's unexpected safety to
center. Turner stole and two adorned

Milan Called Out.
''Zeb' Milan endeavored to score from
second in the seventh while Turner was
throwing out Elberfeld, and failed chiefly
through the blindness Of Umpire Mullen.
1t was the hit-and-run, Milan getting
under way like a flash the moment the
slow roller started from the bat toward
Turner. Stovall relayed the ball to
Fisher, but Milan fell inside the dia-
mond away from the backstop. He's

Limit on Salaries
Abolished by League

CHICAGO, July 13.-The Three-I
League, the body that caused such q
rumpus in the baseball world during the
winter and spring with its many in
functions, met in Chicago. 1t was the
annual mid-season session and, unlike
the gatherings Of the past, was peace
full. The chief business transacted was
to abolish the salary limit of s., 200 and
to give each club a free hand to secure
players of frst-class ability.
According to President Tearney, the
league now is In better shape than any
time since 1t was organized. The at
throughout the circuit the patronage is
improving, owing to the tight pennant

Athletes On outing.

Judging by the letter which I re-
celved from Secretary G. H. Winslow
that annual excursion Of the Terminal
Y. NJ. c. A. to Chesapeake Beach next
Monday should be a most attractive af-
fair.
A good program Of athletic events
will be one of the most prominent fea-
lures of the outing and some good
sport should result. This is the fourth
excursion of the organization and a
large crowd is promised.

McAleer Discard Finds
Berth for Himself in

Fred Sherry, the young pitcher who
was given try-out by the Nationals,
has landed with the Providence club,

After the expiration of his ten days
notice OF release, Sherry went 70 his
home In Honesdale, Pa, where he
opened negotiations with several clubs.
He Is said to have received offers from
the Southern and Western leagues and
the American Association, but accept

he prefers to remain IN the East.

Brewer Is here.

Big Six" Brewer, one Of the best
known ball players in Washington, was
In to see me this morning.
He has just returned from the Ma
tionals at Cleveland, but is under in
structions from McAleer to report at
the park here as soon as the club re-
turns. Several minor league teams have
put In bids on the catcher, but he can
do nothing until the Washington club
decides what It will do in his case.
Brewer did so well in the amateur
leagues here that he should make a
valuable asset for some minor outfit.

Greatness Of Cobb.

Old-timers who maintain that base
ball of today does not have the stars
of the same class as those in the
eighties, will find food for thought IN
studying the box score Of the Phila-
delphia-Detroit game yesterday.
Such expert Judges as Charley Com
iskey have pronounced Ty Cobb the
greatest ball player that ever stepped
up to the plate, but who would have
ever thought that playing against the
champions Of the werld the flying
Georgian would get a base on balls,
steal second, steal third, and then top
it all OF by stealing homo while the
pitcher held the ball. Then without the
formality Of base hit he scored three
runs.
Where in all baseball history can
there be found a more remarkable
achievement by an individual player in
a single game between teams Of such
class as the Tigers and Athletics?
