It was growing dark when the rat
tie of wheels outside the ranch-house
brought the occupants to the porch in
time to see Niger Mike halt his buck
board and two figures prepare to de-
scend.

But Slower had planned no ordinary
reception, and the .pandemonium did
not cease until the men had emptied
their weapons.
Then Mr.. j. Wallingford Speed came
stumbling up the steps and into the

dust-coat streaming.
Really? This is more than / ex-

cried, gayly: THANK you, gentlemen!
Thank you for missing mel"
"Yow-ee!" responded the cow
boys.
How do you do, Miss Chapin!"
Speed shook hands with his hostess,
and in the radiance from the open
doorway she saw that his face was
round and boyish, and his smile Pc
culiarly engaging.
She welcomed him appropriately;
then said: This reception is quite as
startling to us as to you. You know,
Mr. Speed, that we have with us a

PITCHER FA[KENBERG
GOING GREAT NOW
Former National TWirler, Who
Harry Davis Did Not Keep,
Is the Real Come Back.

CLEVELAND, Ohio. May S.-There is
another come back in the American
League He is Fred Falkenberg, the
lanky hurler of the Maps
When Manager Harry Davis took hold
of the Cleveland club in 1912 he decided
that Falky's days as a big league hurler
were over, so sent him to Toledo in the
American Association.
When Birmingham took over the reins
as manager Of the club he decided there
was still good deal of big league pitch
ing in the long boy. and Falky has proved
this by his work this season.
Falky, who rivals Carl Weilman in
height has made five starts this sea-
son. and each one has resulted in vic
tory He beat the Tigers his first out.
allowing them no runs and six hits.
Then he trimmed the White Sox. After
this he opposed the Browns twice, and
has dealt them two reverses. He beat
Boston Wednesday for his fifth straight.
Then the tall boy has another honor.
He has been the only one to hang a
black mark on the record of Carl Well
man, the Browns southpaw, who has a
little something on Fred in size. Both
of Faikys wins over the Browns have
been with Weilman opposing him.
Last season in the American Associa-
tion Falkenberg was second among the
hurlers. He won p games and lost only
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-05-08

eight games. for a percentage OF .75S.
The hits off him totaled 2o7, while -
runs were scored by the opposition. He
whitfield lib and walked only 50.
1t would not have been so bad had
Falky pitched poor bali in 1911, the sea-
son before Harry Davis turned him over
to the minors. But he did not. On the
other hand. he hurled we'll. He won
games and lost ) for .61J percentage.
That was So points better than the clubs.
But bygones are bygones. and more
than one manager makes a mistake.
Davis pulled one and Birmy saw to il
that the pitcher. who should have re-
manned in the majors, got another chance.
In the five games he has pitched this
season he has allowed six runs and
IS hits. an average Iof 5ie per game.
His strikeouts have numbered 20, while
IA batters have drawn passes.
So. it looks as if Falky would pull a
Tom Hughes. Last season the National
hurler ''came back after being sent to
Minneapolis for one year. Hughes is
still at it. and it will he some time before
he is relegated TO the minors The same
may be the case with Falkenberg.

MAPS AND SOX IN
FIGHT AFTER GAME
Players Punch and Maui Each
Other in Dugout Under
Grandstand.

CLEVELAND, Ohio. May S.-The
Cleveland Maps and Boston Red Sox en-
gagged in battle-royal in the dugout
beneath the grandstand Immediately
after yesterdays game at League Park.
The conflict lasted ten fifteen minutes.
None OF the players was seriously in
jured. but half a dozen or more emerged
from the encounter with wounds from
which the blood flowed profusely
Iris Speaker was spiked three times.
his injuries requiring the attention of
both club trainers when the melee came
to an end. Other Sox had bruised lips
and damaged noses. while some of the
Maps were more or less battered up.
The battle was the outcome OF bad
blood which cropped out repeatedly DUR
ing the contest. Early in the game
Catcher Carrigan of the Boston club
blocked Graney of Cleveland off at the
plate In the second inning and knocked
Graney unconscious. That caused the
Maps to place chips on their shoulders
during the remainder of the game When
Jackson slid into the plate in the fourth
inning he did so with one foot Hnneces-
sarily ard dangerously high i'm the air
Olson collided with Pitcher Foster at
first base and Catcher Carisch sent jan
win of the Sox to the ground in
head-on smash-up at second base.
With the players of both teams thus at
swords point, 1t did not take much to
start further trouble. Fuel was added
to the flame when Catcher Nunamaker
of the visiting club addressed remarks
to Olson OF the Maps that the latter
scarcely relished AS result, when
Olson and Nunamaker happened to meet
in the runway leading to the dressing
rooms blows were exchanged In a mo-
ment half the members of both teams
were engaged and the battle waged for
ten minutes before the more conserva-
tive players managed to pull the belliger-
ents apart.
Not a PLAYER could be found after the
game who was willing to discuss the af-
fair. In fact, both clubs were pledged
to secrecy. The Clevelanders merely ad-
,mitted that some hard words had been
exchanged. The Boston players would
ance Of the entire mix-up Those who
bore a few Commissions upon their faces
were the most emphatic in declaring that
no fight had taken place. But such a
mix-up cannot take place without some
facts leaking out even though all the
participants promised not to say a word.
II is thus reported that among those
who were deepest in the battle were
Buddy Ryan. uraney. LajOie. Carrigan,
Speaker, Cady, Hall and Lewis.
Acting Manager Wagner OF Boston said
last night: Il have heard nothing of any
fight 1 was chased from the field and
had dressed and gone upstairs before the
game ended"
When Manager Birmingham of the
Maps was questioned. he replied:
Il have nothing to say. Some of the
boys were pretty hot about the play at
something after the game. hut I was
the last one OF the field and did not see
anything out Of the way. Everything

Mr.. Griffith did not make a. change in
his batting order leaving Ainsmith in
third place. and Eddie again failed to
show anything with the stick, going out
on two easy infield plays and tanning
twice. Griffith, however, believes that
Ainsmith Is a natural hitter and he does
not believe that his present batting
slump gives a correct idea of his value
poses to continue him in his present pO-
sition in the batting order until the re-
turn of Gandil or Foster, when there is
apt to be a change.

Cicotte has been decidedly successful
for the SoX this spring, but he did not

outset, and, had he remained in the

walked Schalk and Zeider was sent in to
run for him. The change proved good.
for Zeider stole second. Hughes had two
strikes on Lange. when he apparently
swung at a wide one, but Umpire Hide
brand called 1t a ball. There was a kick
from both Ainsmith and Hughes, but
Hughes finally took the ball and then
struck Lange out.

Hughes did not have an easy game to
pitch for the very good reason that the
faltering of his support gave the Sox
two runs, and this left him but a one-run
margin to work on. In all but one inning
the Sox had mon on the bases, and several
times a base hit would have changed the
complexion of the proposition, but
Hughes strength lay in the fact that he
was at his best when danger threatened
He struck out eight of the locals, and at
least six of these came at time when a
base hit would have played havoc. show
ing plainly that Hughes kept something
in reserve for the pinches.

Howard Shanks is Of the greatest value
to his team because Of his ability to back
up plays. No matter where a play may
be, Howard is found backing up,
up. and many games have been saved in
this way. Yesterday when Lord singled
to right field and Moeller fumbled the
ball, making a throw to third base to
prevent Lord from reaching that goal,
Shanks had come in from his position in
left field and was standing behind La
porte, ready to get the Nban II it was
thrown wide. His position attracted the
attention OF the crowd and created lot
of comment.

that he could not overcome.

Groom. If he is right, stands a good
chance of winning. for it was apparent
yesterday that few of The Sox are fond
of curve ball pitching, and Hughes gave
them plenty of hooks. Griffith does not
propose to work Johnson until Friday or
Saturday. and the chances are that IL he
wins today that he won't work him until
Saturday, preferring to give his other
pitchers a chance to improve themselves
