LARRY DOYLE, GIANT END EASTMAN CELEBRATES
 27TH BIRTHDAY

Captain Larry Doyle, the scrappy second baseman of the New York Giants and owner of the automobile offered to the National Leagues most valuable player last year, will cele- brate his twenty-seventh birthday to- day.
 Lawrence DoyIe's career is proof that even the humblest of Americans may aspuire to greatness and fortune. He was born at Ca,seyVilIe, ILL, July 31, 1886, and in his youth was a coal miner I1S his hours of leisure above ground ne played ball, mostly with teams composedBof fellow miners. He was nineteen when he was signed to play with the Mattoon club in the ucky-IIIinois = Tennessee League. He soon went higher, and in 1906 was with the Springfield, Ill.,, team of the Three-I circuit. His sensational work attracted the attention of the big league scouts, and Larry was put on the block. There was spirited bidding for his services, and he was eventually knocked down to the New York Giants for S4,5OO. He joined the New Yorks in the middle of the 1907 season, and McGraw put him on the second bag, although Doyle had played principally at third for Springfield and Mattoon. The future captain made his big league bow in a game at Pittsburgh, and got a hit off I,eifeId. The Giants won the game bys a score of 2 to 0.
 Larry didn't do so very well for New York in 1907. as his batting average was only .26o, and a lot of New Y ork fans got out their hammers and be- gan knocking. McGraw paid no> at tention to the knockers, and his faith in the coal digger was fully justified in 1908,N as Doyle batted the. pill for 1908 and finished third in fielding in the league. s6 In 1909 he was even. more useful to the Giants and in 191e,s al though his batting average dropped to .285, he played great ball. In 1911 he batted .31O, and last year .S30s Doyle took part in seventy nine dou- bIe plays last season, as compared with seventy eight for Tinker and sev- enty-three for Evers, the former dou- ble-p1ay, champions of the league Doyle started thirty-f1ve two-play re- tirement, to thirty-three for Evers and thirty-two for Tinker.
 Bob Ung1aub,, former big league first baseman,> was born in Baltimore thir- ty-two years ago today He has play ed. with Meriden, Worcester, Sacra- mento, Milwaukee, Willian1sp Ort, Lin- coin, Minneapolis, and the New Y orH, Boston and Washington american League teams. This year he essayed the management of the Minneapolis Northern League club.

Gervais Pitches We'll But Locals
 Unable to Hit Smith

Meriden, July 31.-The CFossmen paid their first visiteto the Silver City yes terday and they won't send out any of those Many happy returns of the day cards.
 Their visit was an artistic failure in asmuch as the tailenders handed them a row of horse collars. The score was 1 to 0.
 The man who tripped the Crossmen was Dug Smith, young southpa-w. There were five left hand batters in the lineup with the addition of the new man, Shorty Long, and they had great difficulty in hitting Smith. Long was the only one of the wrong side litters who could get a safety.
 Smith is the youngster who was g1v- en g. trial by the Boston Red Sox last year He is a promising kid who new CT struck his str4de until he Joined Wha1en's team He was previously canned by Springfield because he was wild He let Bridgeport down with four blows and famed seven.

CALLAHAN SAYS
 RUNNER MAY SLIDE
White Sox Leader Says Rule Calling Man Out Is
 Illegal

Jimmy Callahan, manager of the White Sox, declared yesterday that the action of the American Associa- ton ltmpires in declaring a runner out who slides to first, without reference to whether he beat the ball to the base, was clearly illegal.
 The reason given by the unpires was that the runner raised a dust and confused them, but Callahan says this has nothing to do with the case.
 '%Suppose,'' said he, "that a batter hit a ball that could be handled only by the first baseman, and the pitch CT could not get to first in time to take a, throw. It then becomes a race between the runner and the baseman, and if the runner can beat the ball by 9, slide he cannot be declared out, no matter how much dust he kicks up.
 t"As the rules stand, runners may slide to first any time they consider 1t necessary"

ELEPHANTS STAMPEDE
 AND WRECK, CIRCUS

F1oto circus was wrecked yesterday when an electrical storm stampeded the circus elephants. After treak k.. ing loose from their keepers, the big animals tore canvas from many tents, smashed the main entrance and went through the smaller buildings in the neighborhood, swrecking them.

 The police department was rushed to the scene but remained at a discreet distance until the beasts were sub dued.

LANGFORD HURT BY
 J0HNSOR'S REPUTATION
CBy T. s. Andrews.)

It seems tough that boxers of the class of Sam Langford and Joe Jean nette should have to suffer for the doings of Jack Johnson. Both Lang ford and Jeanette have always con- ducted themselves in a gentlemanIy manner, no matter where they have been, but now they are reaping the benefits CD of the escapades of the colored champion. Langford has just returned from Australia, and after being matched with Charlie Miller in San Francisco he was surprised to learn that the match had been called off. It may be that the authorities considered it one-sided and for that reason called halt, but nevertheless Samuel was barred just the same. Jeanette has had the same experi- ence in New York, where he has al ways been popular. While he has some fights he finds it difficult to get any really good matches. About the only way they can get matches now is to be matched up with colored men and there are not enough of the high class black boxers to go around. It will be Langford's ambition now to get after Johnson and endeavor to puncture a. rib or two of the man who defeated Jim Jenries. And talking of this young heavyweight, Charlie Miller brings to mind a statement sent out by his manager the other day to to meet Arthur Pelky on a winner take all basis with small side bet if necessary. Miller must carry feyt kind.

For a fighter who has been, knocked out so many times Bombardier Wells, the British heavy weight champion, has had more opportunities to make good than any man in the business. Wells has taken the count from doir, Palzer. Smith and Carpentfer3 in short order each time, but he has always had the chance to come back again. He is "a wonderfully clever boxer for a big man. but he lacks the stamina, having a very weak stomach. Just about the time he should be putin g. his man away he kee1s over himself from body blows that even a middle weight would stand up under: In all his fights he has had all the best of them until that one body blow when he seemed to collapse, and then 1t was all over but the shoutingsfor the other
 man. After his knockout by Car pentier the Bonnbardier sought q match in London and wasSent against the Irish champion, Packey Maloney, whom he defeated in 16 rounds. It was no great showing, but 1t served to bring Wells back into the lirnelight, with Carpenter. Should he be lucky enough to turn the tables on thu F'renchman, which is not at all irnpos- sible, why it wilp bring him right back to the top rung again and he will be a candidate for a match with Gunboat Smith or Al Palzer, or still better, PeI- ky Wells is a great boxer and has a hard wallop, as he has proven on numerous occasions, but that weak stomach spells all for him. Some of ] these days the Bonbardier will have ed and then he will be a great fighter.
