GIANTS SECURE CRACK
 PITCHER FROM THE SOUTH McGraw Grabs Twirler Terrell From Spartenburg of Caro-
 lima Association

Spartanburg, sc, Aug. 3.-Pitcher John Terrell of the Spartanburg team in the Carolina Association, becomes the property of the Giants after the season in this league has closed A deal was completed yesterday after noon whereby this big youngster goes to New York. The purchase price was not given out, but it is known to be in the neighborhood of $3,000. It is the highest price ever paid for a player in this league.
 Terrell is a young player. He has pitched professional ball for four sea- sons. Last year he was with Winston Salem in this league, but did not shine brilliantly. After this season had started Spartanburg secured him In the beginning he did not show un- usual form, but for the past two months he has pitched magnificent ball, and although playing with a tailend team has won a fair majority of his games.
 In the nineteen games that he has pitched he has won seven, lost eleven and the other resulted in a tie. He has world of speed and a good curve ball. Other big league clubs have been after this man, but the deal was closed with McGraw in a conversation over the phone.

City League
 Teams Want
 More Games

The St. Josephs are leading in the City League, which with three more games will finish it's schedule. Two of the clubs, the Black Rocks and the YostS want an extension of schedule to include another round The Joes, naturally, favor the com pletion of the season as it now stands. The Eagles, in a way, agree with them. Schedule extension was talk ed over at recent meeting, but not put to motion.
 As noted the season ends quite early, Aug. 27. When the season started there were six clubs The schedule makers found that four round series with six clubs would bring the close way into September A three round series was therefore decided upon, ending with Aug. 20. Since that time, two clubs have been dropped and new schedule arrang- ed, but to finish on the same day as the old schedule. The teams are agreed that ending Aug. 27 is quite unusual. Also unnecessary as the clubs are now playing good ball and drawing the crowds. They do not want to force the issue.
 The question now stands with the Joes. Let them come out with the statement that they are willing to continue another round.

CHANCE EXPECTS CUBS
 WILL WIN ON PITCHING
Chicago Manager Declares His Twirlers Are Going Fine
 Now

Chicago, Aug. 3-No baseball fan in this city is more confident that the Cubs will win the pennant than Man ager Frank Chance. The Cubs lead CT believes that only misfortune will put the local team out of the running land the pennant, a close friend of Chances explained:
 "Chicago's baseball team never was in better trim to hold the lead than it is at the present time. Not one weak spot can be located in it's make up. In the field the men are staging a remarkable game, while at the bat their work can hardly be surpassed. Most important of all, the pitching staff is going stronger than it has at any time the Cubs have been on top and they headed the league eight times before jumping there this last time. If our twirlers hold on as they are now, we'll win in walk
 ''It is only within the last two weeks that the flinging staff really struck it's stride. Up to that time it was inconsistent, going we'll one week and poorly the next. Now it seems to have come out of that habit, and is running as in seasons gone by. Most of this success is due to the return to form of Ed Ruelbach and King Cole. They have done excellently for the team within the past two weeks, especially Ruelbach, who has been in three games and taken all three.
 That our twirlers are in perfect condition is evidsht from the fact they have been able/to go the nine rounds without seeking the aid from one of their teammates. Previous to this Chance was compelled to keep some one warming up nearly all the time and most frequently had to send in a rescuer, chief of whom was Mordecai Brown. Since the men have struck their gait he has not been compelled to use more than one twirler per game which is great relief.
 With this superb condition of the pitching staff the Cubs are well for tified for the remaining battles with the Eastern clubs which will invade the West Side Park until Aug. g. Their first place are better than they ever have been before ''

PONIES WIN
 BY POUNDING
 OUR PITCHERS
Walker, Gibbs and Swan. son Hit Hard by Spring
 field Crowd

Springfield, Aug. 3-Bridgeport was helpless before GreenwelPs pitching yesterday, and the Mechanics were beaten by Springfield by g to 0. Dixie Walker was hit hard and was remov- ed in favor of Gibbs, who was also pounded. Swanson finished the game It was Walkers first defeat since he joined Bridgeport.
 Runs came at the start. Gardella saluted Walker with a poke down the third base line for two bases, anc went up on Waite'S out, Litschi tC Crook. Page bounded to Stowe, who threw wide to the plate, Gardells scoring and Page taking half the triI around. Swander drove between third and. short, Page coming in and Swan der going to second on the throw in That made two runs. Guests ground CT to Litschi caused the killing -of Swander at third, and Masen was begged out by the same Litschi. Gar della renewed the rumpus for Walker in the third inning by waiting for four 'bad ones''. Waite 1arruped sweetly to left field for two bases and Page brought both men home with a sharp single over second. Then he stole second and went to third while Ruell was throwing Swander out
 
 Page scoring.
 Gibbs was put in a hole at the start of his career in the fourth. Flaherty drove past third. Greenwell beat out a bunt so did Gardella, and the bases were filled with none out. Waite struck out, but Page was hit by a pitch, forcing in a run. Swander jabbed to short right center and Kauff could not quite reach the ball. Hi Ladd flung to the plate, the ball bounded away and two runs came in, Swander going to second. Genest and Mason fell down, but the score was now to o.
 Swanson was the next victim. He passed Guest in the fifth and the lat ter strolled to second. F1aherty sent a sizzling hopper to Ruell which keel ed the latter and forced him to rest on the grass for a brief spell. Green well went out on strikes, but Gardella smacked to center, Guest scoring. Old Hi returned the ball sharply to third and nailed Flaherty.
 Bridgeport was Speech1esS on the bases at all times. Three times it opened innings by getting to first base, but these lucky fellows could not wander far. In the eighth Kauff hit outside of short, Genest made a pretty catch of Stoves crashing ball and in his haste for a double play threw wide of first. base, Kauff going to second. Stone walked. Flaherty threw sharply down to Guest at sec ond and the latter, making a wonder ful one-hand stop, put the ball quick z ly on Kauff for the second out. Swan son famed. Bridgeport got single and a pass in the ninth, but that did no harm. The score:

Lajoie Valuable
 As Pinch Hitter
Crippled Clevelander Has De. livered Safety Seven Times
 Out of Nine

Nap Lajoie, long regarded as one of the greatest natural batsman who ever swung a wagon tongue, has of pinch hitter. He goes in there now when his club can't hit the op- posing pitchers and has been remark ably successful so far for Cleveland.
 Early in the campaign the stall warts Frenchman received a bad strain in the groin and was out of it for several months. He has been unable to resume since as a regular through Inability to get around. But wheth- CT he is able to walk a step. as long as that old batting eye and trusty swing remain he will always be valuable addition to any club.
 So the Maps, despite Larry's in- ability to work around the infield, are carrying him along to step up in a pinch and knock the blooming cover off the ball. Which he still does at about four trials out of five. r As pinch hitter the big F'renchman has set a remarkable record. He has been at bat in the pinches about nine times with something like seven base hits recorded.
 At his first appearance after two- against the Six. The bases were full at the time, with two out. Larry limped across the field while thous- ands stood up and cheered. It re- quired several minutes for him to come from the clubhouse to the plate. But his response to a mighty ova- ton was to slam out a two-base hit and drive all three runners home. Since that initial appearance as a pinch hitter the Frenchman has been making good regularly. He still has the greatest eye in baseball.
 It is doubtful if Larry will be able to work regularly again this season. The accident which set him down was a bad one. And his previous run of servitude. extending across twelve or more seasons, was against him. But for all that it is more than likely that Acting Manager Stovall will see to it that he is always within quick calling distance when a hit will save the day.
 As stated before, he is of great value to club, although he can only hobble down to first after one of his long, slashing hits He has shown that by coming through with the needed swat in seven trials out of nine, or a pinch average of about .750. Which isn't such bad sort of an average, once you take time to think it over.

SHORTST0P HARDEST
 POSITION, SAYS TURNER
Crack Cleveland Infielder De- clares He Has Tried All Jobs
 Except First Base

Terry Turner, the CleveIand's vet eran infelder and shortstop, has played every infield position except first base, and says shortstop is the hardest. He says second is the bus fest job and third the easiest.
 The third baseman gets the hard- est hit balls, and they come so fast he doesn't have time to move far for them. but they get to him so quick he can generally take his time throwing out the runner, for the run ner is not from the plate by the time the ball gets to the third baseman.
 Playing bunts is about the hardest part of the third base job. The field CT has to so in fast and tbrov from any position. He doesn't have time to rise up and make his throw sure. He has to get the ball away the best he can.
 ''Third basemen are sometimes ap- pla uded for catching line drives bit right at them. The fans seem to think the play good because the ball is hit hard. Liners are the easiest 60 catch of all batted balls. The mean est kind are pop flies They twist er's hands 4 fielder is generally hooted for muffing a pop fly, when f1e should be given credit for getting l1iz hands on the ball.

He figures sn more plays than the other inIelders except the first basernan, and his plays are generally important Hs has to know how to play throw from the catcher and tag a runner in a hurry. The second basen1aa always has5hard throws to make whsa he takes the ball from the shortstop on a double play. He generally has to throw with his back to first
 ''The shortstop has the hardest work because of the ground he has to cover and the long throws he has to make. He has to get over Iot of ground to his right and left and has to know how to throw from any position.
 "The shortstop has to get his bail to first in a hurry and needs good arm. He plays so deep that by the time a grounder gets back to him the runner is pretty near first and only a quick throw will beat him. When a shortstop goes to his right and stops a grounder he has to throw without taking a step and the throw across to first is a long one."
