Standing Of the Clubs.

Oed"H, Utah. July 15.--Today. for
the first time in weeks, the knight
owls played errorless ban, and beat
the liighlandcrs II to 2, in a one sided
battle. Pitcher Balirgcr worked in
great style, holding the visitors 20
nine well scattered hits. His perfect
support kept him out of danger and
the owls never were threatened.
Maloney was in the box for the Wis
itors, He pitched great bah until the
fifth inning. Then the owls got to him
and the rest of the game WAS slug
fest Three errors We're made by the
visitors. First Bascman Carman being
the principal offender.
For the first five innings the game
was even enough. The Highlanders
scored one in the first and the owls
evened ii M in the third. 1t was neck
and neck until the fifth. Then Maluney
blow up ana the home club scored five
times. Three runs came i'm the sixth
and three more in the eighth. Mis-
soula scored once i'm the seventh.
The hitting of Jones was the feature
of the game. The third basenlan
clouted two home runs and Il two bag
ger, driving in four runs and scoring
two himself.

Not Unexpected.


Boston, July 15.-The announcement
that Manager Jake Stahl of the Boston
Americans would sever his connections
with the team he led to a worlds
championship last season was not un
expected here.
Close followers of the falling for
tunes of the Red Sox had been led to
look for some such development as a
result of disagreement between
President McAleer of the Boston club
and Manager Stahl. The basis of this
disagreement, according to some, was
the reported desire of Stahl to supplant
McAleer as president. The latter was
told of a movement believed to be d.
rected toward making Stahl president
When he was asked about the matter,
Stahl is understood to have disclaimed
all knowledge of it.
Another factor in the situation was
Stahl's inability to play first base this
season because of an old injury to his
foot. He prepared to direct the team
from the bench, but President McAleer,
believing Stahl was needed in the ac-
tive lineup, insisted that he get in
condition to play. McAleer is UNDER
stood practically to have ordered an
operation on Stahl's foot, which was
successfully performed more than
month ago, but the manager never re-
covered sufficiently to resume his posi-
tion. President McAleer has declared
that If Stahl had been at first base the
Red Sox would have been fighting
Philadelphia for first place instead of
being a second division team.
Stahl attributes the teams poor
showing this season to the succession
of injuries which have befallen the Red
Sox players, among them himself.
1t was estimated that with his salary
as player manager of $4,000, his play
er's share of the worlds series and his
dividends on club stock, Stahl cleared
$25,000 last year.
Bill Carrigan, who succeeds Stahl as
has a reputation as one OF
the leading baseball strategists among
active players. He is 20 years old and
a native of Lewiston, Maine. He came
to Boston from Holy Cross college in
1906, and has been with the Red Sox
since except for part of the season of
1907, when he played with Toronto.

N COBB SUSPENDED :.

Detroit, Mich, July 15.-As result
OF his dispute with Umpire Hide
brand in the Philadelphia Detroit
game Monday afternoon Ty Cobb.
star outfielder and champion batsman,
has been suspended BY the head of
the American league. The notice of
suspension was received by Manager
Jennings just before time for starting
todays game. 1t came in the form of
a telegram dated Chicago and read as
follows:
This is to notify you OF Cobb's
suspension for language used to Hill
debrand in yesterdays game.
(Signed) .B. B. JOHNSON"
The dispute between player and
umpire occurred in the ninth inning
of Mondays game. Baker, the Ath.
letics' third baseman, hit liner to
short center field. Cobb raced in and
apparently caught the bali a few
inches from the ground, but Hilde-
brand ruled thas the fielder had
trapped" It,
Cobb was so incensed that the UNI

Chicago, July 15.-Outfielder Larry
Chappelle. purchased yesterday by the
Chicago Americans from the MilWau-

$4,000 and two players. will make his
first appearance in major league
uniform this afternoon. He will be
placed in left field and Ping Bodie
will be shifted to center
The principal weakness on the
White Sox this year is in the outfield,
For several seasons President Co.
miskey has been searching for hard
hitting and fast outfielder, and when
chappelle came to the front this year
he decided to secure him at any cost.
With one exception the price paid
for Chappelle is the highest ever
given for ball player. The largest
sum of money ever given for PLAYER
was the $22,500 paid by Pittsburgh
for Pitcher Marty OToole late in the
season of 1911. Outfielder johnny
Beall and the catcher vet to be
named, who were traded for Chappelle
in addition to the reported $4,000 con-
sideration, will bring the total given
for the youngster close to the record
price.
Chappelle is 21 years OF age. Of
french parentage, and his home is at
McCloskey, ILL., His first nrofes-
slonal engagement was with the Eau
Claire Wis. team in 1911. The Wis
consin- Minnesota league dishanaaa

without job. His release was pur-
chased by the Milwaukee club for
$3.50. At the close of last season
