CLEVELAND, Sept. 5.-Joe jackson
is beating out bunts, a trick Ty Coop
is not trying this season on account of
the lively ball. Ty says the lively ball
gets to an inf1elder so quickly he ant
beat the throw to first. This used TO
be one of Ty's specialties, but he
hasn't tried it more than a dozen times
this season.
Joe beat out a bunt in the first in
ming Sunday. He hit the ball almost
on a line to Larry Gardner, and had
the Red Sox third basemans throw
beaten by a step. Gardner made a per
feet play the wasn't playing deep and
the ball was hit so hard he took only
two steps before it got to him.
Jackson reached first because he mad
the play planned and was of with a
flying start-just such a start as Cobb
makes. and which only Cobb could
make until Joe tried it. There are
several players who rival Cobb In
speed, but lack his knack in getting
away from the plate under full speed.
II seems as natural for Joe to be on

Hal Chase, the boy manager of the
New York Yankees. is generally ac-
knowledged n of the craftiest players
in organized baseball. Chase is without
a peer as a fielding phenom. He is
among the best base Com
hining his baseball generalship with
his base running ability, Chase was
enabled to beat the great Walter john
son, of the Senators, in a recent game
at New York, practically single-handed.
The score was tied at two runs when
Chase opened his seventh inning with
O single through Schaefer. Earl Gard
ner flied out to Milan. but Sweeney
came to the front with a single through
the box. The hit was too short to
Justify Chase trying for third. On sec
ond it required a good single I'd score
the Yankee captain. If he could get to
third be could tally the winning run
on a single, an error or a long fly.

HOW CnASE'S READY WIT WINS GAME

Street. Chase took a good lead off the
bag, and. as Johnson was, about to
pitch, broke for third base. He stopped,
however, midway between there and
second. His purpose was to draw a
throw. AS soon as Street fell into the
trap he hurled the ball to Second Base
man Cunningham, who raced over the
bag for the toss. Then Chase darted
for third. He had got so close to his
coveted goal that there was no chance
to stop him on a throw that had to
travel to third by the long route via
second. Indeed, Cunningham made no
effort to get the ball to Elberfeld, and
Chase p~ilfered standing up. 1t was a
case in which Chase outwitted Street.
Had "Gabbyn thrown to third Chase
could have got back to second in safety.
Had he thrown short to the pitcher the
same thing would have happened. The
only chance Street had of breaking up
the play was to run in on Chase, but he
was so sure that Hal meant to race
back that he tried to get the ball away
as quickly as possible.
The virtue of Chase's daring was IL
Illustrated a few minutes after he had
delivered the delayed steal, when Hal
was able to score the winning run of
the game on Quinn's long fly to Milan.

well, you can make just n good
bet that after | meet Mcfarland Will
go after this Knockout Brown and
Matt Wells, the English champion, and
make them show their speed instead
of them having to say they are chas-
ing me for a chance at the title,
And you ~,, add, too" a the
little champion, that it will not take
me long to talk business with them,
either. I will not say just now where
the bouts will take place, but you can
gamble that ] will not wrangle about
the number of rounds, for | car set a
pace as fast as any of them for n
distance, and Mcfarland will find 1t
out before he gets through with u
ten-round argument.

to perfection. Matt Wells. they tell
me, cannot do 1873 pounds ringside.

to let him do the same as Mcfarland,

| do the stockyard boy. and you

that Mr.. Knockout Brown will not die

know New York is a great place for
big battles, but they will not have
much on some of the places in the
West and Middle West. / believe my
bout with Mcfarland will beat my
thing New York ever had in the way

JACKSON'S STUNT BEATING BUNTS

with the crack of his bat as it is for
him to judge a fly ball perfectly.
The opposing infelders are every Bit
as anxious when Jackson is hitting as
when Cobb is at the plate. Joe hit to
Charley Wagner in the third inning
Sunday. and the Red Sox captain put
all his strength behind his throw to
Engle. and then the throw beat. Joe
onlv a step. That's the way they are
playing ball for the Nap speeder.
And old reliable Larry is taking
more interest in base hits thai he
usually does, which means that the
batting race is a three-cornertd one.
and probably won't be decided until
the end of the season. Larry is gem
orally content to take it easy If the
Maps are ahead. He steps up and II
the ball with a little more snap than
usual when he's real anxious to hit,
He's stepping up that way on all of
them. Larry hasn't been hitting the
ball in the middle for a couple of days.
but it won't be long before he will have
his eye on ii again.

Preparing for Football.

The Columbia A. c. will again place a
football team on the gridiron this season,
and expects to excel its record of last
year, which was nine games won. two tied
and one lost. The Columbias will depend
mainly upon the same pla yers that repre-
sented them last season, but there is sure
to be a few new faces in the lineup when
the whistle blows for the opening game
on September "a. The first practise will be
held Friday night, and all candidates have
been requested to report at 3 O'Clock. All
team wishing to arrange games with
the Columbias on Sunday afternoons
should communicate with the manager, Jo-

big as Jack johnson. the fghte:.
All the cranks are still talking about
the sensational relay race run by
Rosenberger, Sheppard, Schaff and
Gissing at the Irish-American A. c.
games Monday. Lots of other big men
who didn't make the trip to Celtic Park
are kicking themselves because they
were not on the job to witness the
great performance.
Harry Hillman, jr, is back in New
York after a delightful time spent at
Camp Osgood in the Adirondack noun
tains. He didn't nave it as easy up
there as some suspect he did. He put
hundreds of youngsters through he
70. es and is glad to that a
number of them will bear watching
ooner or later. He is going to Dart
mouth to resume his duties as coach
shortly.
Harvard will have practically the
same cross-country team back except
Herb Jaques. The crimson will not

championship against Cornell, but
there is no reason why the Cambridge
runners could not just about equal
their performance of last yea by fin

The office of Ben and Bill Adams,
brothers of Plat, the crack all-around
athlete, on Clinton street, Newark, is
becoming quite a popular rendezvous
for athletes, who meet there to

events to come. AS a trysting place,
the Adams office is a worthy rival to

Harry Smith, captain of the Pas
times, of New York, went to Commune
paw, n. J., Monday and got trimmed
in a five-mile run in conjunction with
a set of games of All Saints Church,
in that locality.
Looks like Bobbie Cloughen will be
fast enough to be runner-up in both of
the sprints at the senior championships,
if he doesn't grab one race. Cloughen
was but a yard and a fraction behind
Rosenberger in the 100-metre event at
Celtic Park Monday.
1t is expected that Jim Duncan, who
has asked for his release from the Mo-
hawks, will compete unattached for a
year. At the expiration of that time
it is said, IL he does not join the Pas
times. as he has promised Captain
Harry Smith he will do, it is more
thar likely that he will cas- his for
tunes with either the New Yorks or
