IN THE FIELD
OF SPORTS

Manager Gray must be an optimistic
person. His Lowell club is running in
third place in the New England league,
many points behind, but yet he AYERS
that he will win the league pennant.
Morris, the second sacker of the Keene
club in the Twin State league, PLAYED
at Seton hall. While at Seton hall he
was a smuggling hitter, batting for over
400.
Cincinnati is straining every effort to
land Cy Morgan in their fold. Nor.
gan is playing ball in the American as.
ISOLATION.
Jimmy Callahan, manager of the
White Sox, has let Walter Smaller go
to the San Francisco club, where he
will be under the guidance of Del How
ard Smaller is the youngster whom
Hughie Jennings let 90 in early spring,
and who later showed up to advantage
with the Sox, much to the chagrin OF
Jennings. Smaller will probably return
to Chicago soon. At the opening OF the
season he proved a whirlwind, but a
short time ago he fell down lamentably.
Coffroth, the San Francisco promot-
er, is angling to book match for Will
lie Richie and Fred Welsch. If they
meet, Richie will rule the favorite.
The Brooklyn Dodgers are strengthen
ing their pitching forces. Elmer Brown,
OF the Montgomery club. was sold to
Dahlen for a price of $1,000. He will
not report TO Brooklyn until fall.
CIV Seymour, the veteran of many
seasons, lately with the Boston Braves,
is now playing with Buffalo, in the In
ternational league. Seymour played sew
eral games for the Braves this sea-
son, but was found wanting in some re-
spects.
1t was a good move of Manager Car
rigan of the Red Sox to bench Yerkes
for an indefinite period, Yerkes has been
playing only fair game and was hit
ting weakly Carrigan opined that he
was showing up the work of the Red
Sox. Janvrin is playing second in his
absence.
If Ray Collins continues to pitch such
good ball he will be heralded as one
of the best in the big leagues. At pres
ent he is the only pitcher of the Red
Sox team that is expected to get away
with every game he goes into His hit
ting also improves. Last Saturday it
was a timely three Dagger by Collins
that won the game.
Tommy Leonard, the old Dartmouth
player, who is managing the Bellows
Falls club in the Twin State league, is
as active and agile on the base paths as
any other member of the league. To
date he has purloined twelve bases.
The Chicago White Sox have sold
pitcher Gaines to the st. Joseph team,
Gaines viii report on Aug. /.
Frank Chance is now looking forward
and surveying the coming worlds series.
Chance sees where both Mack and Me-
Graw will land their respective pen
nants. In the short series, Chance opines
that they are evenly balanced and the
team to take the series will be the one
with which luck is breaking Chance
thinks that in a longer series, ten or
fifteen games, Mack's men would prove
masters. Both teams are certainly
stronger than when they met in the
fall of 1911.
IL is said that Arthur Pelky, who
was in the ring at Calgary when Luz
Their McCarty met his death, has been
booked for vaudeville for twenty-five
weeks and will not appear in the ring
until that contract expires. Pelky's
will carry him through the
western states.
