ner. Washingtons star middleweight
wrestler, and Tom Dodge, of Cleveland
for a finish match at catch weight. to
be held at a Washington theater on
or before August l6
To bind the match, each wrestler has
deposited $50 with The Washington
Times, and this amount will go as q
forfeit should either athlete fall to ap-
pear for the match An additional $3.50
Will be posted with The Times at least
five days before the match, and this.
with the forfeit money, will go as a
purse. the winner to take all.
TURNER arrived in Washington this
morning from Richmond, where, last
night, he won two falls from Billy"
Collins, of st. Louis. 1t required fifty
two minues for Turner to gain the first
fall with a toe hold. Collins threw Tur-
ner in the second fall in ten minutes
and, Turner gained, the third down in
twelve minutes.
Dodge has been doing much clever
work In New England and the South

Catcher's Throw Stays
Runner Stealing Second

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 6.-By
being struck in the head with a baseball
while stealing second base. John James
was so seriously injured that he died
several hours later at the> women s
Homeopathic Hospital. James was a
member of the United Gas Improvement
Company team, and was widely known
as an athlete. He made a smashing
single. Then he took long lead and
when the pitcher delivered the ball to
the batter, dashed for second base.
The catcher made a swift throw and
the ball struck James on the head just
before he reached the bag. He fell to
the ground and his companions carried
him to the bench, where they tried to
revive him. Then they realized that
James was seriously injured and had
him taken to the hospital. His skull was
fractured and he died before an opera
ton could be performed.

owen BUSH SAYS
WORLD CHAMPIONS
ARE STILL IN RING
Tiger Shortstop Insists That
Athletics Are to Be
Reckoned With.

DETROIT, Aug. 6.-"It looks like
Boston. Washington has a chance, but
don't count the Athletics out because
they are about ten games to the bad.
That is the way the American League
situation looks to DOME Bush, the SEN
sational little Tiger shortstop.
Personally. would like to see either
Boston or Washington win, because the
Athletics have had two cuts at the
world series melon. Both of them at
this stage look to have a better chance
than Connie Mack's team, but no one
can make me believe the worlds cham
pions are through. We trimmed them
three games at Philadelphia and two
in Detroit, but with one exception they
were all tough battles, with the luck
breaking our way.
Some people may question the game
ness of the Athletics, but not me l
never feel as though we have that
Usually If you beat them it is by a
one-run margin. and you never feel
quite comfortable. Mack's team is a
dangerous club at all times. 1t is a
team that makes its runs in punches
and is liable to overcome a three. four.
or five-run lead at any stage of the
game. If the Red Sox ever slip and
Mack's team Is able to cut down the
lead to five or six games there Is going
to be sensational finish. in my opinion.
Most ball players / think would
prefer to see Washington or Boston
win. It's great opportunity for a
fellow to get a chance to share in the
worlds series money. The Mackmen
have twice had that opportunity and
shared by different clubs. Such con-
dition, however. does not influence
the play In any way. Players like to
have a tough race, so do club owners,
as IL gets the money. Consequently
look for some things to happen on
this trip and 1t wouldn't surprise me

SUFFERS. AS RESULT
OF TIGERS STRIKE
Engenders Disfavor of Presi-
dent Johnson In Cobb
Incident.
By Goldberg

DETROIT, Aug. cit looks as
though Jim Delehanty is the goat OF
the Tigers strike, which followed Ty
Cobb's indefinite suspension for punch
Ing New York fan for alleged Of
fensive remarks last May.
Delehanty has a batting average of
.2S7 and Is a clever second baseman,
better than half the second basemen in
the American League, yet ne is warm
ing the Detroit bench.
Del was accused of leading the strike
which followed Ban Johnsons refusal
to reinstate Cobb at once upon demand
of Tvs teammates. Del denied he was
the leader, and SO did the other Tiger
players.
1t is said all clubs in the league have
waived on Delehanty, which makes 1t
look as though Del is marked to go.
Next to Larry, Del is the greatest
right-handed batter in baseball, and he
could be used as a pinch hitter IL for
nothing else.
But Ban Johnson's dignity was given
a hard bump when the Tigers went on
strike. The baseball czar had lost con-
troll of his league. Cobb was given
no penalty then. because he is too valu-
able to the Detroit owners, and Ty
never will suffer for the Tigers actions
Delahanty was free to criticise Johnson

Pirates Indefinitely
Suspend King Cole

PITTSBURGH. Aug. 6-Manager
Fred Clarke, of the Pirates. yesterda'y
sent king" Cole a telegram informing
him that he is Indefinitely suspended.
The "I<iug' has been in bad with the
club for some time, as he recently took
French leave and disappeared for a few
days. Clarks left him in Pittsburgh
when the Pirates came East. Clarke
received word that Cole was not taking
the best care of himself, and suspended
him. The Cole Hoffman Liefield- Leach
deal surely has been gold brick for
the Corsa,rs.

In place OF fading out, there is no question today
that Mathewson will be big factor in the next worlds
series, provided of course that his pals furnish him
an entry into the same. The Big Gun of Manhattan is
shooting better brand Of grapeshot and canister by
40 per cent above last year. He has won seventeen
and lost SIX but of his six defeats least three
were kicked away by the rankest possible support The
tip travelled broadcast last October that Mahewson in
the wake of the Mackian fusade, had started in his
final world series affair In place of which he looms up
the Giant mainstay, and in tight series of this type
will again be one Of the hardest men in the game to
beat. He carries more stuff than he was able to show
in 1911 and he still knows enough in the smoke drift Of
the rife pit to get by in pinch.
The late DIR. Jekyll and the equally late Mr.. Hyde
have less than nothing Jim Vaughn the Yankee and

detached propositions, the big southpaw is fading the
Siamese twins into obscurity.

AMATEURS MEET
ON FRIDAY NIGHT
Will Complete Arrangements for Post-Season Series
Which Decides Champions of Dstrict-Teams to
..>,s Be Divided In Three Classes.

Final details of the post-season
series of games for the city cham
pionship will be arranged at a meet
ing of the amateur commission, which
has been called for Friday night at
Spaldings store, 613 Fourteenth
street northwest. The heads of the
various leagues are to get together
to complete the arrangements for
the games which shall determine the
winner to meet the Richmond anna
teur champions.
While no final arrangements were
completed at the meeting of the COM
mission last night it is expected that
rs the schedules of the leagues are
completed that the teams will start
in on the post-season games on Sat-
urday and that the other classes will
etart Monday.
With the exception of the Indepen-
dence circuit all of the leagues have
completed their schedules and Presi-
dent Roakes of that league has sig
nifed his intention of. cutting short
the schedule in order to allow the
teams to start the post-season series
on Monday
fcation of teams was announced, but 1t
was intimated that the various win
ners would be divided into three
classes. Some Of the games in the
series will be played on the Railroad
Y. M. G. A. League grounds as Presi-
dent Waters offered the field to the
commission.
In the event of starting the post
season games Saturday, the Printers,
of the Marquette League will play be-
fore going to Boston for the annual
Printers tourney.
According to reports received from
Richmond, the amateur commission
from that city is to visit the Washing
ton Amateur Commission on Monday to
determine the details for the intercity
series. The Richmond commission is
calling a meeting this week to decide
who is to take the trip here.
The Richmond amateurs are strongly
In favor of the intercity series, and will
be represented by the Battle AK team
or the Collegians, who are racing neck
and neck in the Capital City League of
Richmond. There is but one league in
Richmond of the strength of the Class
A leagues in this city, and In this cir
cult the two teams mentioned are at
the top of the heap.
Owing to the fact that these two
teams represent the greatest strength
of the amateur circuits in Richmond
and would undoubtedly be easy winners
of a post season series there, the Rich
mond commission Is to meet this week
to determine the advisability of declar-
one of the two teams in the intercity
series On Saturday the Collegians and
the Battle AK teams are to meet to de-
eide which is to represent the city.
