GR|FF TELLS WHOLE
OF SHAW HISTORY
Manager Certain to Keep the
Youngster, and Is Through
With York Leader.
By SENATOR"

CHICAGO. Aug. 24.-Manager Griffith
does not intend to leave any step un-
covered in his relations with the York
Tri-State League club, now claiming
sole ownership Of Jim Shaw. He has
written the history of the entire case,
sending a copy to Garry Hermann.
chairman Of the National Commission,
and another to Ban Johnson, president
OF the Amer can League.
1t was upon the advice Of Johnson
that Griffith allowed the optional agree
mcnt with Wilkesbarre to be trans
fcrred to York. Griffith has claimed
Shaw under this agreement and paid his
money to the National Commission. and
has had his claim promulgated. 1t is
dfficult to see where George Heckert
finds himself the sole owner of the hest
pitcher in the Trl-State League

While the Red SoX were in this city

That Stovall is to go to Boston as
the successor of Clyde Engle at first
base, is considered far more likely than
that Jake Stahl is to come here as
StOvalls successor. rumOr that has
been given wide circulation. The local
feeling is that Branch Hickey is as
good as selected already for the 1914
boss of the Browns. and that StovaII,
very naturally, viii be given his re-
lease. Stoyall has not been PLAYING
regularly this season on account OF

National League
Race About Over

NEW YORK, Aug 24-The Giants
took such commanding grip on the
championship Of the National League
for. 1913 Yesterday that it is only a
question Of keeping the star players on
IN" field to have the team returned an
easy winner in the race. Twelve full
games. or 100 points in percentage sep
arate the leaders from the PhiIlics, their
nearest rival Taking 100 victories as q
basis for awarding the pennant New
York needs TO win only 20 out of 80
games TO Capture the penDant. while the
Phili,a must annex 35 dut of 45 to tie
the champions. This means New York
can slow up to Bis rate while Dooin's
men must hit n .77S clip, which is fas-
ter than they have Travelled all season.
Barring wholesale injuries, the National
League race is about over.

CHICAGO. Aug. 24-The ninth in

way when the game ended, came too
late. and the White SUX today are boast
ing Of to defeat Of the league lead

Athletics two runs but the necessary
tallies to even or overcome ChiCago's
lead were not forthcoming. Brown was
hit heavily in the first and allowed two

Pitching Phenom Is
Bought by Yankees

The Yankees yesterday purchased A
Texas League phenom, of whom big
things are expected. His name is Rose,
and he is now pitching for Houston,
where he practically owns the town.
Rose leads the Texas League pitchers
by a big margin. and has reeled OFF twen-
" Ave victories out of thiTty-two games
this season.
He won his twenty-fifth game last

he had pitched scOreless ball for nifty

AS a matter of cold. hard fact. the
Red Sox ought not bother the Griffmen
much in this coming series Jimmy
McAleer told the writer the last time
the Capitolians were in Boston that,
having given up all hope Of landing the
pennant, he meant to try out all his
young players with a view Of determin-
ing their chances next year.

McAleer. and some of the other play

For several weeks the worlds cham
pions have been trying out new players
Mundy has been seen at first base and
two or three green twirlers have been
seen in the box. Manager Carrigan is
using "Husk" Thomas behind the bat
frequently. This big backstOp has been
with the Red Sox for three seasopS,
yet not till this year has he been used.
1t is more than likely that during the
coming winter there will be a wholesale
shakeup in the ranks of the Boston
team. Three cliques are in action, cut
ting Off all hope OF success for the
team. NcAleer's task is to eradicate
this clique evil and it is no enviabIs

The ability to rise to the occasion was
never better shown than by the work
of the Griffmen in that ninth inning
yesterday in st. Louis. Starting the
frame in the rear, they just slammed
Baumgardncr hard enough to put the
game on ice and show the superiority
of Joe Engel over the Brownies. GAN
dill. Morgan. and SChaefer hammered out
clean singles in succession. filling the
bases and putting BaumEardner in
hole. from which he never emerged.
Gandil was forced at the plate by Nc
Bride, but Agncw's throw hit the run
ner in the back and Morgan scored the
tieing run. Al Williams burned one
through Mike Balenti ard Schaefer
scored. Pratt was so nervous that he
failed to squeeze Moeller's vicious
bounder hard enough. giving the hitter
a life and letting Mcbride tally. The
whole Brownie infield seemed up in the
air before the sudden and determined
attack of the enemy. 1t was this same
method of attack which brought the
downfall of the Maps earlier in the
week. 1t indicated better than ANYTHING
else the fighting spirit Of the team.
