The Athletics one-hundredth game
of the season resulted in q shut-out.
1t appears that just at the present
time conditions have reversed in the
Mack pitching staff. Early in the sea-
son it was the recruit twirler who
was uncertain, while now the old
guard Is not up to form. Plank is
credited with the defeat, his third in
row.
General Mack pulled every string to
elude a shut-out, but 1t was Bland
ing's day. and a big one, too, for the
Nap finger. Just how tight he was
with hits when a Mack run was in
striking distance of the plate can
be determined from the fact that
twelve were stranded on the bases.
Jack Barry was not feeling fit yes
terday and after the Maps piled up a
five-run lead he retired from the
Mack lineup In favor of Utility In
fielder Bill" Orr. who handled HIM
self well in the territory between Sec
ond and third.
In tho last six games played at
Shibe Park, Joe Jackson has made
only two hits, 81 homer and double.
Both safeties were made off Eddie
Plank in the series preceding this
one. In six times at bat in the Two
games of the present grapple, jack
son has failed to hit safely.
AS the drafting season approaches
major league clubs are warned by
the National Commission that the
rule restricting the number of play
ers to whose services a club may hold
title at any time to thirty-hve will
be enforced to the letter. A club that
has this number of men under con-
tract or includes players purchased
or recalled underA optional agree
ments, will not be allowed to file
drafts. If a club holds title to less
than thirty-five players on the open
ing day of the draft period the ex-
cess number obtained through this
medium must be disposed of prior to
the filing of the reserve list on Oc-
tober /.
The New York lead shrunk to seven
games, making two full games that
the Phillies have gained on them
since the Western trip began.
Tommy Leach, centre fielder or the
Chicago Cubs, is now captain of the
team. He succeeded Third Baseman
Zimmerman, who resigned.
Mike Mitchell, former Cub and
former Red, will join the Pirates in
a day or two. The Chicago Club asked
for waivers on the outfielder and the
Pirates refused to waive. Another
club also refused to waive and Pitts
burgh got the player in the draw.

Bloomfield aggregation. although

represented that town some ears ago

The fans well remember the time
when the old Bloomfield Club. with
such men as Jack Hanley and Larry
Hesterfer in the box, could give even
O. league team a go. The nine this
year is composed of younger talent,
but is winning games with regularity.
and is expected to make good against

ably be in the box for the Boomers,
being opposed by German.
Joe Spencer. the Prudential A. A.

fare well in a season or two. He's
southpaw and can surely use his head.

lege course at Yale.

Granger has an inkling that he can

GOSSIP OF THE Big LEAGUE PLAYERS

There were four Arthurs in New
York's ine-up-Wison, Fletcher,
Fromme and Shafer.
Wagner took stab at one of
Frommes losses in the third inning
and grounded to Fletcher who threw
to third ahead of Carey. Carey didn't
know whether it was practise pitch
or not and neither did anybody else
until ODay settled the matter by
declaring the play null and void and
sending Wagner back to bat, at
Pittsburgh, yesterday.
Higgins, the Cards manager, is
back from a scouting trip empty
handed. He played second base,
O'Leary being benched.
Dooin's arm is still sore and it
may be q week before he goes be-

call Reindeer the best young
catcher in the National League.
Umpire Brennan once declared
that a player who would jump on
the bleacher wall in Philly and catch
a fly would gain nothing. He said
he would rule it a homer on the
ground that the player who made
the catch was technically out or the
park Gather climbed up a fence
about five feet to get a bali which
Cravath drove in the screen. KLEIN
held "Gavvy" at third. The umpires
should get together on that point.
1t might cause q row some day.
A whole flock of Birmingham's
twirlers kept warming up at Phila-
delphia, Blending getting In many
holes
Birmingham still has in reserve
what he considers his two best bets
in Mitchell and Vean Gregg.
Mitchell pitched a great game
against the Red Sox Saturday and
the Maps expect him to repeat. It
is said Gregg has not been in the
best Of condition.
Marquard's string of victories was
broken by the Pirates. Wonder what
the alibi will be this time?
