MONTREAL. Quebec, Aug. 81
Montreal's pitching staff appears to
be better just now than any other
hurting corps in the league, and this
fact is partly responsible for the
triple reverse the Tigers sustained
here in the first three games played.
AT the same time two of those con-
tests were lost through fiendish hard
luck. The Bengals as a team batted
hard enough to win yesterday on the
National Park lacrosse field, where
the Royals have their Sunday home.
1t brings the boys back to the cor
ner lot days when they play there,
for it is nothing more nor less than
an ordinary coy pasture, and the
substitution of rocks or flattened tin
cans for bases would complete the
picture. The infield is as full of ruts
and ridges as a piece of corrugated
cardboard, while the outfield is dotted
with miniature ~rivulets, canyons and
valleys. How it is that the players
escape ~sprained ankles and broken
limbs is a miracle.
Today's double-header here will
terminate the Tigers long jaunt
around the entire circuit. In spite of
the reverses suffered here, the trip
was a most successful one. and with
George Bell ready to- take his turn
again the outlook is very rosy. Sam
apparently has found
the right manager in Kitty trans
field. The Royals never played better
bo1l ond naver showed more team

More Records Smashed +
BY Daring Eddie Hdsha


Eddie -Hasha, at the M%otordrome,
proved to a great crowd of motor
cycle enthusiasts yesterda afternoon
that he is~without a peer on the
"choo choos'' in the East. Hasha
clearly outclasses any one or two-or
as many as you like-at any distance
riding on the tracks in this section
OF the country. He has displayed his
ability time and again against the
best in his class and has yet to take
a decisive beating.
Yesterday he@made every rider
whom he opposed look like a novice
and whirled around the track in such
fashion for three miles thai he es-
tablished a new track record of
1:57 3-5 for that distance. In the
final mile of the class A he drove his
machine in 81 4-5 seconds, smashing
the Eastern record of 3S rs seconds,
made by himself at the same track
two weeks g This is just a second
and a fraction aboe the worlds
record. The feature event was his
try at records for one. two and three
miles. He covered the first mile in
80 As seconds, did the second in the
same time and made the third in SO
fiat. In the final of the class A the
dminutive Texan terror covered the
first mile in 80 Id, and as mentioned
before made his new Eastern mark
In the second.
The pursuit event was marked by
a serious accident, in which both
contestants, Charley Davis, of Brook
lyn, and Freddy West fell. 1t was
n of the mos exciting races at the
local track this season. West was
riding finely at the start. and before
long had grabbed Davis's rear wheel.
1t looked as though Freddy would

from McGraw's camp showed that
pugnacious way that has made
Muggsy famous. They got after the
umpires on every ball hat looked
questionable, and they nagged and
fought throughout the game.
The Athletics rallied in the ninth
and saved themselves from a shut
by making four hits and two
runs. The Giant infield looked fool
ish when they all tried to get one
little pop fly in the ninth and nobody
got it.
During the game Shafer kept up a
rapid-fire conversation with the
bleachers and paid little attention to
the game. Between innings Herzog
started a little spat in the grand
stand and everyone was expecting a
repetition of the Ty Cobb incident.

ing He built a big bleacher
stand last spring in centre field, but
the fans preferred to get as close to
the diamond as possible, and ignored
the new roost.
In fact. the first base bleachers
We're as close to the diamond as the
grand stand. Sam figured out that a
number of fans would pay the extra
fee rather than see the game from
centre field, out he dared not destroy
the popular first base stand. Neither
could he erase the price, so last week
when the umpires got in bad and
were targets for pop bottles Sam saw
his chance, and closed the stand near
the diamond. L~ichtenhein is one of
the most unique characters n one
of the best sportsmen in baseball.
How Game Was Lost.
The Tigers scored a run in the
opener on a pass to Collins, Four
nier's error and Swacina's hit. The
Royals responded with two in their
half on a pass to Demmitt, Connol-
ly's single, Hanford's sacrifice and
Fournier's triple. The Bengals went
TO the front in the sixth. kirkpatrick
tripled. Billy Zimmerman doubled
and E. Jimmy and Higgins singled.
Two runs were. in and WI men
we're on bases. Fletcher then relieved
MeTigue. Eddie Zimmerman was
picked off by Burns. Enzmann
famed and Collins popped out. The
downfall of the Tigers came in Mon
treals' half. Four hits and tvs
passes came with two out, netting
four runs. In the seventh Newark
got two more. but the Royals were
back with another pair in the eighth.
F~ournier's double, singles by Burns
and Cunningham and a wild throw
by Schardt scored the home teams
winning points. The Bengals rallied
in the ninth, but scored only n
run.

PITCHER BREAKS
RUPE MILLS'S ARM


Rupe Mills, one of the best semi
professional baseball players in this
city. and who has received offers
from several big league clubs, will
probably not play baseball again this
season. His right arm is broken. In
the sixth inning of the game between
the Worthington B. B. c. and the
Roseville Stars at Rosevall oval yes
terday morning Mills was at bat, with
Holmes, who was pitching for the
Stars, On h mound. A fast inshoot
came just a bit too soon for Rupe to
jump out of the way. and as a result
the ball hit him on the right arm
just above the wrist. He sank to the
ground. and, players rushing to him
at once, carried him TO the office of
a nearby physician. The latter an
nounced that the arm was broken and
hat an X-ray examination would be
necessary today to decide low bad
the arm was. 1t will mean the loss
of a wonderful first baseman to the
Worthingtons. Mills is still in his
teens, and had chances of develop
ing into a probable big league star.

SWEDISH RULES
HAMPERED HORNE

BOSTON. Aug. 5.-The mystery of
the apparent failure of George
HORNE, the California wonder, to
sweep away all records in the high
jump at Stockholm is cleared up by
explanations made by his teammates
here. 1t is explained that the Swedes
would not permit HORNE to leap in
the manner by which he attained
heights which dwarfed all previous
records.
The Swedes commended thatHorine's
head was the first part of his body
over the bar. and insisted that the
proper style was feet first. Their
ruling prevented the wonderful
jumper from demonstrating his abil-
ity to clear heights only dreamed of
by his competitors.
In America there has been
the slightest objection to his style.

weight, who came into prominence
by knocking out Carl Morris, will
make his first appearance in New
York tonight, when he meets Jim
Stewart, of Brooklyn. at Madison
Square Garden. McCarty will lay
claim to the heavyweight title if he
defeats Stewart decisively. The local
fighter holds a popular decision over
Morris. whom he outboxed. McCarty
is a 'rusher" and depends upon his

ponent. 1t seemed he was riding blind
" as he was going high. In an effort
to pass West he smashed against
Freddy's shoulder, and the result of
the collision caused both to fall from

The race al awarded to Davis.
The. free-for-all race was cut to
five miles. instead Of eight, as pre-
viously announced, owing to the
strain the riders were in yesterday.
1t was all Hasha throughout the en-
tire grind. He Tapped the field twice,
with the exception of Ray Peck, who
managed to stay one lap behind. At
the conclusion of the long event
'Hasha received a world Of applause
from the fans.

Athletics lost money on yesterdays

McGraw's bench arm and bat
boys were shipped to Newark dis
guised as the New York Giants yes
terday afternoon and told TO act like
real ball players. so that the fans
here wouldn't get hep to the fact
that they were being buncoed. But
the Newark fans were wideawake.
and, although they turned up at the
ball park, they knew the difference
between ball-players and second
string men. There were two and
three-quarters regulars present, one
fan declared. He named them as
Herzog, Crandall, Devore and Shafer.
This added up, he said, TO two and
three quarters. President T.. W.
Francke, of the Athletics, was mad
clean through at the way things
turned out. He will probably take
the case up with the National Com
mission.
AS it happened, the fans did not
get stung. as the semi-pros put up a
good game against branches Ath-
letics. With George Hughes at has

several hits by his lightning speed,
great pickups and quick, sure throws.
Long Shore, the Carolina College
pitcher, struck out six men in the
I'VE innings he labored and served up
some very classy benders. Kirby was
nearly as good. but eased up in the
ninth and the Athletics tailed twice.

stage fright. At the bat they stood

Frank Kramer. the professional
sprint champion; Elmer Collins, the
paced champion, and Donald Nc
Dougall. the prospective amateur
champion, divided the donors at the
Nelodrome yesterday afternoon. 1t

favorite came home on the bit. There

far the fastest of the amateurs yes

heats in a match race.
The grand prize Of July was the
big attraction Of the meet. and was
the only a C in which Champion
Kramer competed. Kramer, Grenda,
the champion of Australia. and Dapuy
were the three riders who had quail
fed for the final. 1t was a French
style race, and there was a great
amount of j~ockeying for position
due to the unusually large purse. AT
the start Grenda was forced to the
front and for the first lap he failed
in his efforts to force either Kramer
or Dupuy to take the lead. Starting
the second lap Dupuy was forced to
the front, with Kramer second and
Grenda third Coming out Of the
back stretch Dupuy ~cleverly forced
the American champion to take the
lead, a position which he showed
clearly hat he did not want.
And Mr.. Kramer. c~leverest of them
all at this game, soon had the posi-

GIANTS CHANCE TO
BREAK RECORD SLIM

NEW YORK. Aug. 1.-The New
York Nationals ambition to establish
a record for the greatest number of
baseball games won in a season has
suffered a rude shock in the last
three or four weeks. In fact, the
chances of equalling the mark of lis
victories and SO defeats. set by Chi
cago in 1906. are too slim to be worth
considering. Only sixty games re-
main to be played. so that it would
be necessary for the Giants to win
forty-seven and lose only thirteen
in order TO reach the high-water
mark.
