GOSSIP OF THE Big LEAGUE PLAYERS

Too much Shawkey beat the Tigers
in the contest that marked the be-
ginning of the Athletics, sixteen-game
home stay.
Eddie Collins had an off day at
his station at second base. The nimble
member of the Mack infield on two
occasions fumbled ground hit ball.
However, neither of his miscues
proved costly.
Herb Pennock, who did not accom-
pany the Athletics on their trip
through the West, rejoined the Mack
men yesterday. Pennock had been
on the sick list for several weeks, but
now appears ready to answer calls
for mound duty.
Larry Chapel. the $4,000 Chicago
outfielder had to be content with a
seat on the bench when the White
Sox played Boston yesterday, He,
however, broke into the box score as
pinch hitter and failed to deliver.
Walter Johnson stepped into the
fray with st. Louis at washington
yesterday, and had to be content
with draw after pitching II 2-S
innings.
Ray Fisher is not only school
teacher and a pitcher but also knows
something about football tactics. In
making a wild slide into third base
yesterday Fishers foot came in con-
tact with Turner's jaw with such
force that the blond haired players
teeth were Jared, at New York. The
next moment Fisher dashed for the
plate. AS O'Neill jabbed Ray in the
ribs with the ball the latter collided
with the Cleveland catcher and
knocked him fiat upon his back.
Fisher was too excited to offer an
apology in either instance. He Just
glared at Turner and O'Neill. who, In
his opinion, were entirely to blame.

The Providence and Buffalo teams

took turns in making sensational
catches at Toronto yesterday. Col
Inns is a dashing fielder and has made
many clever catches on the local
field, but he always shines brilliantly
In fielding at Toronto. The outfield

Beauty" recently obtained by the
White Sox from the Milwaukee Club,
has had bad knee for several days,
but said nothing to Manager Callahan
about 1t until yesterday. Callahan
took look at the injured member and
found 1t in such bad shape that he
told Chapel to stick to the bench.
This gave Ping Bodie a chance to fig
ure In the lineup. Manager Callahan
was forced to use Chapel in the
sixth inning as a pinch hitter. He
grounded out.

a hoodoo for the Yankees yesterday
when the Cleveland Maps beat them
out in that round after the two teams
had struggled along from the seventh
inning, with the score 2-2. Mitchell

famed nine men. Graney's home run

GAMES OF HIGH ORDER

LONDON, July 26.-The American
and English lawn tennis teams are
square in the first games of the Davis
CUP challenge round, as result of
yesterdays play.
Maurice E. Mclaughlin, the Ameri-
can champion, went down to defeat
before ]. C. Parke, but R. Norris
Williams, the second string Of the
American team. came back with a
victory over c. P. Dixon, in the
other match.
In defeating Mclaughlin, Parke
was called on to display a wonder
full amount of skill, daring and eff
ficiency.
E. Mclaughlin won the first set after
many hard fought rallies, the. set
really being won in the eighteenth
game, when the American broke
through his opponents service.
Parke captured the second set,
largely on outs by Mclaughlin, and
the crowd cheered when the Eng
lishman won the next set.
Mclaughlin fairly rushed through
the fourth set, winning 1t in a fash
ION that gave hopes of an American
Victory in the match, but Parke'
brilliant game in the fifth set was
too much for Mclaughlin.
In the other match, Williams forced
matters from the start and proved
beyond doubt that he was Dixons
master. He went out in a business
like manner and most of his strides
were gloriously played. Dixon ap-
p1ared to be playing to the gallery
as it were, and at that was out
played by the American.

ments, nets, outs and double faults,

ing what damage might have re-
suited.
Lee was satisfied to allow the Leafs
the one run they picked up while the
double play was being executed.
Wyatt was pitching to win the game,
not to make record for himself.
-.
1t was Wyatt's fifteenth victory Of
the season and he had the Leafse
completely at his mercy from the
first round until the ninth. The fact
that the Leafs scored was due 20 a
temporary squirt in the ninth, which
Schultz started by beating out hit
to Tooley. Bert. who played third
base made a wild heave and the run-
ner reached second base. Eddie Zim-
norman was in the dry-dock for re-
pairs as he has a very sore finger on
his throwing hand. Tooley had Ave
assists and one putout besides his
error. One or two of his pegs made
Swacina stretch to his limit, but
Harry pulled the ball in and Bert im-
proved as the game went on.
"a
Lee pitched with remarkable skill.
On two or three occasions the Leafs
got the first man up to first base.
but Wyatt always frightened up and
seemed to be toying with the home
team. His best performance VIZ
giving Bill Bradley three
succession and then making him tap
weakly to Getz, after having two
strikes showed on him.
Getz had a narrow escape from
having his wrist broken when one of
Buster Browns shoots struck him In
the sixth inning. He finished the
game with the member bandaged up.
With Eddie Zimmerman out of the
game, Smith had no infielder on hand
unless he sacrificed Barger's chance
to pitch today by putting Cy in at
second base. In pinch Collins might
be called on to play second base.
80
Newark's attack early In the game
was sharp and clean and the Bengals
speedily annexed two tallies. Billy
Zimmermans double and Collins's
single were worth a tally in the first
round. In the next inning Getz
singled, took second base on a sacri-
flee hit and scored on Lees long line
single to centre. Wyatt was thrown
out trying to stretch it into two-
Dagger

A double-header Is scheduled to be
played here today between the two
teams, and If the Tigers win the first
game they will have set up a new
record OF their own for consecutive
Victories. The Bengals had twice pre-
vfously won seven successive VIC
tories. and yesterday was the third
time they reached that mark this
season.

Lefty" Aitchison has not been
beaten by Toronto this season, and
he will probably be worked in the
first game. Barger is the logical
pitcher for the second contest, with
Lee on deck again Monday. George
Bell will probably be saved for the
first game with Montreal next week.
An exhibition game with Niagara
Falls semi-pro team has been ar
ranged for tomorrow Al Shack will
probably do the pitching. The re-

will be divided among the players.
