on the ball, but it turned him COM
pletely around, and the ball continued
to left field and went right through
Zach Wheat the same way. Both of
these boys are pretty husky, which
makes one wonder what would hap
pen If such wee mites as Miller, Hug
gins and Johnny Evers got in the
way of Wagner's smashes. Hans got
credit for a three-base wallop on this
terrific smash.
Bob Fisher claims that Nap Rucker
has the best slow ball used by any
pitcher in the National League. 81
have heard men like Mitchell and
Bescher, of the Reds, ask Rucker n
throw them this freaky thing, and
he did in championship games, and
they'd swing and miss it by feet.
Rucker has so much stuff that he can
even fool his catcher in warming up,
so much that he has hit them in the
stomach when he tried to do it. They
simply could not gauge his curve ball,
of which he has perfect control.
1t is reported today that Catcher
Rondeau has been sold to Detroit by
Washington for $4,000. Yesterday
Rondeau was supposed to have been
traded to the New York Yanks for
Pitcher Elliot Dent, of the Newark
Club. and Outfielder Welchonce. The
Yank management is said to have
traded Catcher Mckee, of Indian
apolis, for Claude Derrick. All of
these players were picked up in the
recent drafts. There seems to be
some muddle somewhere,and it will
tax a couple of days to straighten
1t out.

RED SOX HAVE
REMNANT CINCHED
They Cannot Lose Flag Now if
They Fail to Win An
other Game.

BOSTON, Sept. 19.-The Boston Red
Sox yesterday clinched the American
League pennant. All possibility of
the Red Sox being overtaken was
disposed of when the Athletics lost at
Chicago yesterday the first game of
a double-header.
To relieve the tension among the
members of his team, and to assure
finally the pennant for Boston, Presi-
dent MeAleer, of the Red Sox, mott
fed the management of the New York
Highlanders that Boston would not
play off a postponed game scheduled
for New York.
Boston can now lose all its remain
ing fifteen games and win the pen
nant, even though Washington, which
went into second place today, should
win all its remaining thirteen games
and the Athletics should win all Its
remaining fourteen games. Should
this possibility develop, the finaI
standing would be:
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1912-09-19

The league schedule calls for l54
games, but under the Am erican
League rules Boston can refuse to
play its postponed game with New
York, its series in New York with
that club being closed.

vote was so big in Vermont that

dock were arrested for the murder.
1t appears that Carlen had an execu-
tion against George Murdock and meet
ing him in the store of Walter Jones
asked George to pay the balance due
on the execution. Some words follow
ed and witnesses say the Murdock boys
attacked Carlen with knives, while
Carlen drew his pistol and tried to
strike Murdock with it, but dropped it
on the floor. He then grabbed George
Murdock and they fell to the floor, out
of sight of witnesses, behind counter.
In the scuffle the pistol was shot once
and Carlen fell with a bullet through
the bowels. He was taken to his home
and lived until early Saturday morning.
The funeral was held Sunday after

tion of being good officer.

HIGH SCHOOL DEFEATS
CARTHAGE a. to q
Vanderbilt Seniors PlaySaturday
Cumberland Reserves Coming

On last Friday night the High School,
team defeated Carthage by an over
whelming score of Al to4, Atno time
were the High school boys in any dan
ger as to the outcome,
The feature of the game was the
team work and the passing of the ball
by the High School boys. Some of the
spectators who were present and who
have seen many games of Basket Ball
said that the team work of the High
School boys at times had never been
excelled by any team that they had
ever seen. Had this local team thrown
three more field goals they would have
averaged one goal for each minute of
play.
On next Saturday night the same
team will play the Vanderbilt seniors.
This promises to be an exiting and
hard fought game from the very be GIN
ing In last weeks paper it was stat
ed that this would be the last game of
the season but since that time Joel
Barnes has arranged two games with
the Cumberland University reserves to
be played. Thursday evening at 8 80
and at 8 O'Clock by High School and
Dixie. The Dixie team has improved
wonderfully in the past two weeks and
these games promises to be excellent
from every stand point, Every body
should come and help the boys win.
