SPEAKER MAY TAKE
TOUR WITHPLAYER
viii Give Decision to Callahan As to Taking Trip Around the
World With White sox and Giants-But Few of the
Chicago Team Can Be Counted Upon

BOSTON, Mass. Aug. 4.-Tris
Speaker, center fielder Of the Red
Sox, has been offered the opportunity
of being a member Of the party that
is to make a worlds tour at the close
Of the major league season, playing
exhibition games in several foreign
lands. He will make known his de-
cision TO Manager Callahan in the
course of a few days, and IL he de-
cides to go along viii be played as
one of the Chicago team against the
New York Giants. which will repre-
sent the National League in the all
winter JOY tour.
The original plan was to have the
White Sox and the Giants go as dis
tinct clubs, but good many OF the
Chicago players have failed to en-
thuse over the idea Some Of the men
have business at home to occupy their
attention during the winter; others
say that six months Of baseball, is
enough: and still others fear they VIII
be seasick and so are sure they
wouldn't enjoy the trip. Manager
Callahan is, of course going along,
but the only White Sox uDon whom he
can count as yet are Pitcher Jim Scott,
Catcher Ray Schalk, Jack Fournier.

All vacancies that may exist in the

sible, stars will be secured. Callahan
wants one or two OF the Athletics, as
representing the club that will. in all
probability, win the American League

ably find room for another Red Sox

ZOE JACKSON BATS
BETTER ATHOME.
Coung Cevelander Has Mar Of 6s4 in Games Played With
Nationals in Forest Cfy-Has Batted .456 Against
Walter Johnson in Two Games This Year.

Joe Jackson has hit 400 or better on
four diamonds this year. the flclds be-
Ing those Of Cleveland Chicago, Detroit.
and Boston. At home the slugging
Southerner, up to last Monday, had
piled up an average of 40: in the Windy
CITY his record was .4l9 and In Detroit
and Boston II was an even 400 Jack
son. on his visits to st. Louis. has wal
lGped the sphere at 1903 clip: at the
Polo Grounds his record is .SS3 and at
Shibe Park It is .l33.
The clouting Clevelander. who ranked
ninth in the competition for the Ameri-
can League trophy last season, and who
Is likely to rank higher this season II
he keeps up his present timely stick
work, possibly would set worlds rec
ord for a batting percentage could he
stay at home and bat only against :he
Washington pitchers. Jackson has torn
of sixteen safoties in the seven games
the Senators have played in Cleveland
this year. and he only has been at bat
twenty-three times, the extremely high
percentage OF .6g4 being the result of his
activities against Walter Johnson & Co.
Jackson collected five hits in the two
fun games the Idaho phenom pitched
against the Maps IN Cleveland. ana MS
percentage for the season against Sir
Walter is 40.
Jackson has hit at a .53l clip against
the Browns on his home field, an
against Boston, .4l2 against New York,
400 against Detroit .296 against Chicago
and .2s6 against Philadelphia. Up TO last
Monday he had made forty runs and
seventy-nine hits In the Forest City and
twenty-four tallies and thirty-nine safe
ties on foreign diamonds. or the forty
four long wa Hops then to his credit.
twenty-eight were manufactured In
Charles W. Somers' ball orchard and
the rest In other parks.
Jackson has twlee this year come to
the bat with the bases full and emptied
the sacks Of all their inhabitants The
first cruel blow the southerner struck
was In the game OF May 10 with the
Boston Red Sox. Then he trIpled
against Charley Hall. The next day
tho HIghlanders played the Maps and
in the first inniRg Jackson hit for the
circuit against Heinie Schulz, making
two cleanup clouts for him in as many
days. On April 80 jackson drove In
both the runs his team made In the
game with Chicago which the Maps won
2 to 1. and on May 19 he was respon-
sible for three Of his teams four tallies

Here Is what Hughey has to murmur
about the Federal League. the outlaw
organization IN the Middle West:
In order to establish q circuit THAI
can live the Federal League .promoter3
must have at least s5.000,eao. There -
no demand for this organization, for
the baseball public Is plentifuily sup
piled with amusement by the two major
leagues. The costly stadiums In the
various cities AFFORD such accommoda-
tions that the public will not patroI-
ice cheaper plants
Tile players under contract TO the
National and American Leagues are re-
ceiying big salaries and they know II.
In order to enttce some OF them to jump
the Federal League would be compelled
to put up Increased salaries In cold
cash and guarantee pay for more than
II sensible players would dare to run
risks. The Federal League this year Is
run on cheap basis. The best players
resolve 5000 a month. That Is why the
outlaw uromoters haven't been driven
to the wall
when the American League broke
into organized baseball conditions
were much different than now. The
National League had abandoned sew
had become unpopular with the public
and the players. There was room for
a second major league circuit and Ban

JENNINGS DENIES
COBB Is SULKING
Tiger Leader Says Ty Has Not Told Him About and There
No Trade in Contemplation by President Navn-Story
Is Mystery to Him.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Hughey Jen-
nings denies that Ty Cobb is dissatis-
fed, and is sulking in his tent. Further
more, the red-headed leader OF the
Jungaleers says that there Is no trade
for Speaker being contemplated for q
moment by President Navin.
'Tf Ty Cobb Is dissatisfied and is
anxious to be traded he hasn't told me
anything about it." said Jennings. who
arrived here from washington yester-
dag and registered at Breton Hall
cobb played wonderful bali for US in
Washington. and he has been doing his
level best all season. He was laid up
for time with an injured knee, but
he got back into the game at the earliest
possible moment. Perhaps the fact that
our team is not at the top Of the heap
may have peeved Ty because he loves
to be with a winner. but at no time has
he shirlxed or sulked. He hasn't been
roasted by Detroit fans either.
"The story OF trade Involving Cobb
and Iris Speaker was mystery to me.
/ don't know how II originated. In fact
I've never taken time to consider the
merits Of such a deal one way or anotn-
to reconstruct my team, and I believe
now that my efforts soon VIII bear
fruit. We have been playing in greatly
improved form for The past two months:
and we are going to beat out the Red
Sox for fourth position. See II we don't

perhaps IL stronger hitter. but he isn't
a better fielder Because OF Wits III
ness we have been compelled to keep
Louden, the infielder, who might other
wise have been sold to Frank Chance
at the waiver price.
"Our recent successes have Deen
largely due to the sudden effectiveness
Of our pitchers. Dubuc, OF course, has
been our mainstay all season. but now
we can depend upon Dauss. Willett, Han
and Lake. Dauss is q right handler q
little fellow we got from St Paul last
autumn, and he is some pitcher too.
Jennings believes that the Athletics
will win the pennant In the American
League. II can't see how they can
be beaten. On form they seem TO OUT
class the Maps with something TO

happen to win three out OF four games

The party is due to arrive in New

The plans, as outlined by Manager
Callahan provide for the players to
assemble at Columbus, Ohio October
IL by which time the worlds series
will have been finished, although the
White Sox themselves do not expect
40 participate in that little affair, this
year. The White Sox and the Giants
will play in Columbus on Saturday,
October Is. and in Chicago on the
following day, Sunday. Then the two
teams will take a month working
through the West 10 the Pacific coast
by way Of Texas, then going up the
Pacific coast to Nancouvre. Some diff

his mates. Thus far this season he has

II Cleveland fans want to honor their
eminent slugologist their attention Is re-
spectfully called to the fact that on
August 25, Jackson will celebrate his
fourth major league birthday. The Maps
will then be at home playing the High
landers. Joe broke into the American
League on August rs, 1908, playing
with the Athletics against Cleveland in
a game that the Maps won. to 2. He
made one hit off Rube Vickers in four
times at bat. and accepted three out of
four chances in the field.
