COLLEGE PROFS.
FAVOR SLANG IN
REPORTING GAMES

Chicago, August 12,-Charles A. Comis-
key, owner of the Chicago Americans,
likes baseball reports best when they are
written in qualification, or plain English,
while professors Of the University of Chi
cago declare the impossibility of the elm
nation of slang from the account of
games. These unexpected attitudes were
learned today in 81 vote being taken by a
local newspaper tc determine just how the
followers of the national pastime want
the life of. the games described.
II am in favor of clean plain English
stories of a game of baseball said Co
miskey. What readers want to know is
who won the game and how 1t was won.
When these facts are covered up with
a lot of useless words the reader is apt
to grow tired
Il think 1t would be pretty tame to
report baseball in plain, commonplace
English said Prof Nathaniel Butler
There is a species of humor on the
sporting pages which is enjoyable. We
want the picturesque in the reports that
the writer shows defect when it is
impossible for the laymen to understand
him.
Several professors at the university de-
clared their preference for stories spripk-
led with slang.

FRANK BOGASH, JR.,
WINS $4,000 STAKE
Winner Sets New Record
for Race-Etawah
Wins Trot

Detroit, Mich. August 12.-Franl1
Bogash. Jr., driven by Thomas w. Muir
phy. TO-DAY won in straight heats the
eighteenth renewal of the Chamber of
Commerce stake for 2:1s class PAGERS and
established a new record for the event
2o2s1 The race was the feature Of the
second day of the grand circuit meet here.
Farra easily captured the 2:16 trot;
Etawah was best in the 2:10 trot, while
Eddie billiard won the 2.o6 pace after a
hot contest.
The struggle for the Chamber of Com
merce prize was between Frank Bogash,
Jr.. and Ieata j. On the strength of her
performances in previous starts, the mare
had been considered the probable winner,
but when the final tests came Murphy's
selding always had the most in reserve.
Each heat was hard fought. In the first,
Stetbrino Lad led to the three quarters
with Leata J, and Frank Bogash, Jr.,
close up. Coming into the stretch, Leata
], and Bogash pulled away and in the
drive for home the mare was left length
behind Not until the distance flag was
req ched in the second heat did the Murphy
horse show in 'front.' but he again out
lasted the mare. The last half of this
heat was covered In 1:00%.
In the final round Frank Bogash, Jr.,
trailed Ieata ], and Stetbrino Lad to the
head of the stretch when he came around
on the outside. There was a whipping
finish with Murphy's horse length ahead
at the wire. In the last heat Frank
Bogash, Jr., lowered the stake record OF
2:o3, set by The Eel in 1908.
Veteran Ed Geers made his first ap-
rearance of the week behind the wonder
full colt Etawah in the 2:10 trot Pitted
against aged campaigners, the son of Al
Stanley trotted without a skip or falter,
taking all the three heats in fast time.
The 2:06 pace furnished the greatest
contest of the day. In close finishes
Knight Onwardo, Molly Darling and Ed
Gle billiard each won a heat. In the
second and third rounds the field was
SO close punched and scant noses sepa
rated first and second horses at the wire.
only the heat winners came out for the
final. Molly Darling and Knight On
wardo raced heads apart around to the
stretch, with Eddie billiard at their
wheels. In the last eighth billiard forced
Qnwardo into a break and won in COM
mon jog.
Tomorrows programme includes the
famous M. and M. $4,000 stake for 2:24
trotters; the 2:10 pace and 2:0S pace $1,000
each, and the 2:05 pace $4,000.

NAP LAJO|E BEGINS
ENTEE:NTHYEAR
IN MAJOR LEAGUES
HARRY wELcHoNcE

Washington. August 12.--Napoeon La
joie, second baseman of the Cleveland
American League team, which plays the
final game of the present series with
Washington this afternoon. is celebrating
the seventeenth anniversary of his en-
trance into the big leagues today.
Lajoie made his debut as a first base
man, playing with the Philadelphia Ma
tionals. He later went to second base.
where he found himself.
He was a great batter from the start
and today seems as good as ever.
Unofficial figures give him batting av-
erage of S4S. During the war between
the American and National leagues La
joie came to Cleveland because of an
injunction which prevented his playing
in the state of Pennsylvania with the
Philadelphia Americans, to which team
he jumped from the Philadelphia Ma
tionals. Lajole said that he would not
quit the baseball game until his uniform
was torn from his shoulders.

Prough May Set New Pitching Mark
From the Angle Of the Bug
BY REUBEN A. LEWIS

Dent eliminated the Atlanta pitching
staff is weak,
The official announcement of
Harry Covaleskie's sale to Detroit
was made yesterday. The big Pole
will report to the Detroit club
whenever Chattanooga decides that
his services cannot send the
'Noogans higher in the race. With
his sale to Detroit, Covaleski viii
gain his third trial in the majors.
The record of the Pole stands 25
victories and defeats. The Hurl-
ing Hun has worked in as many
games as the leading iron man
and leads the league in strikeouts.
While it was declared that Catcher

terialized. In all probability the
Hurting Hun viii report about Au-
gust rs.
When Pitcher Voss reported to
the Atlanta club Southpaw Clarke
was returned to Washington to
provide room. The Crackers are
availing themselves to the extent
OF the 16-player liimt and Pitch
er Lawrence is due to report to the
club soon. Clarke, who was bought
by Washington from the New York
Highlanders, proved too wild and
erratie.
With the coming of calvo, Holtz
will probably draw his release. The
improved showing of Holland has
wavered the Washington clubs de-
cision to select Love and Wallop
Smith. Instead of claiming Smith,
it Is stated that Griffith will OBJ
tain Love and Holland. Both are
young and promising.
Indisposed with a severe cold
Eddie Mcdonald continues out of
the game. The Baron third sacker
developed the malady Sunday and
was forced to retire from the bat
tie Monday. While the cold Is not
serious, 1t is believed that Eddie
will not play this afternoon. Car
roll, who relieved Mcdonald, has
been playing a brilliant game.
During his stay with Birming
ham. Mcdonald has been forced out
of the game several times by minor
maladies. A split finger, malarlal fe-
Yer and the present cold have
chased Mack from the position at
third base, lie will surely play In

CRACKERS WALLOP
THREE PITCHERS TO
GAIN SECOND GAME

XU1ITH the close of the cam
M paign approaching, Manager
w Billy Smith is making a
desperate effort to climb to the top.
Holtz, recently purchased to supplant
Bailey, has proved a failure with the
bat and the Atlanta leader has pur-
chased Jacinto calvo, the young Gu
ban outfielder. from Washington to
replace the right fielder
With the late addition of calvo and
the strengthening of his pitching staff,
Smith hopes to land up in the run
ming. Holland is playing a brilliant
game at third and should he continue
his present stride will go to the ma
jors. Should the new pitchers, Voss,
Love and Lawrence, fulfill expecta-
tfons, Atlanta will be formidable
rival of the Billikens or Gulls.
Whether the Crackers will catch the
leaders before the close of the season
on September is a matter of con-
lecture. While neither club is leading
the Crackers by over six full games,
there is d possibility of Atlanta taking
a Slump. however, the SdiHe pOssl-
bility applies to Montgomery and Mo-
bile.
While the recent showing of the
Barons has been both disastrous and
diseouraging, Birmingham will finish
either third or fourth. The team has
not played ball of which it is capable
during the past Few days, but with a
few victories will soar in the stand
ing, The failure of Gregory has been
a great setback.
In an effort to stem the Cracker
onrush "Wee Willie Prough will
pitch for Birmingham this afternoon.
The elongated pitcher has the famous
string of 10 consecutive victories and
will attempt to extend it to II. While
the Atlanta manager has not an
nouneed his choice, it is believed that
either Love or Voss will pitch.
The big Baron mainstay declares
that he feels fit for the battle this
afternoon and should capture the con-
flict. With proper rest. Prough has
proved inyincible against the strong
est clubs in the league and as he
has not pitched since Saturday, should
continue strong. With Price and
