MAYER MAY CATCH
AGAINST THE PELS
ChOlly Franks Cellar Cham
pions Clash With BarOns
This Afternoon

Hopelessy in the cellar, Cholly Frank g
lowly Birds will clash with Molesworth's
hopes this afternoon in the first of three
games. The Birds are denizens of the cell
lar without hope. Frank received fur
ther disappointment when Kutina refused
to join the club with Bagby. While Bagby
has added strength to the Pels at the
bat, the Dutchman's twlrling staff is
weak
Since the last visit to Birmingham,
Frank has recruited several moundsmen,
but has failed TO obtain winners. In
Walker his big right handler it is claimed
that Frank has the speedest pitcher in the
league. Another new Pei is Mcdowell,
who will play second base, and Kyle, an
outfielder. Both have been added to the
Birds recently.
Encouraged by the splendid week, Bir-
mingham hopes to vanauish the cellar
champs and rise in the standing. The
club probably will be strengthened by the
arrival of Gregory, the new pitcher, to-
night Last week the Barons won 4, lost
and tied 2.
This afternoon, Foxen is slated to work
for Birmingham on the slab. Mayer has
stated that he may catch as his finger is
in much better condition, the swelling hav-
ing left it.

Although his lads are losing with dis

New York, July l3.-The Giants held the
center of the baseball stage last week,
continuing the winning streak that has
put them far in front in the National
league race This week they face the
possibility of serious rivalry from an old
time foe, the Pirates.
Before the sessions opened the Pirates

for the pennaar. Largely through ineffee-

CONNIE MACK SETS FAST
RACE WITH SIX PITCHERS

Philadelphia, July 13.-Connie Mack
Is now on his second western inva-
sion of the season with the slimmest
pitching staff in either of the major
leagues. He began the season with 10
strong.
The first blow came when Jack
Coombs was stricken with typhoid fe-
Yer in Boston two days after the season
began. Coombs now is recuperating at
his home in Maine. The next loss was
the shipment of Cottrell to Baltimore.
The third man to go from the pitching
staff temporarily was Herb Pennock.
Now Mack has sent Bill Taft to Baltf-
more. This leaves the Athletics with
but six pitchers-Plank, Bender, Brown.
Houck, Bush and Wyckoff
1t Is going to be a hard pull for the
White Elephants to come through their
long western trip in good order with
only these men on the hurting staff.
Mack may be able to land a pitcher
some time in the near future. but at
present he has not given out any state
ment regarding whom he might be
able to get.
