N 'ALEER AND M'R0Y
MAY LEAVE RED SOX
Rumored in American League
Circles That They Will Sell
Their Shares.

NEW YORK. Sept. 7.-Will James X.
McAieer and Robert Mercy remain in
control of half the stock and the busi-
ness management Of the Boston Red
Sox after this year? This question is
asked because of repeated rumors that
the big men in the American League
ace worried over present conditions In
Boston. The Red Sox. having slumped
into the second division after winning
the worlds championship last fall. are
struggling to divide public patronage
with the Boston Nationals for the first
time since the American League in
vaded the Hub.
McAleer. who has signed Bill Carri-
gan to manage the Red SoX next year.
Is confident that the club will regain
its lost prestige. but some of the other
American Leaguers. it is said. do not
agree with him and are fearful that
Boston fans will gradually turn their
allegiance to George Stallings' hustlers.
The summary dismissal of Jake Stahl
has not been forgotten in modern Ath-
ems. 1t will be remembered that when
Stahl was fired by McAleer President
Ban johnson denounced the move as
both unfair and impolitic.
The American League does not ap-
prove of such methods" said Johnson,
and the dismissal Of Stahl is base in
gratitude"
Johnson at first threatened to probe
the Stahl case. but he suddenly lapsed
into silence which. in the opinion of
baseball men. has become ominous.
McRoy has been unpopular with Bos-
ton fans ever since his clash with the
Royal Rooters during the last worlds
series. Mayor Fitzgerald openly de-
clared. as a result of this rumpus, that
McRoy would have to go and refused
to be pacifed until President Johnson
interviewed him later on.
From Boston comes the information
that IL McAleer and McRoy are willing
to sell their stock ready purchasers
can be found who will meet with the
approval of Johnson. Gen. Charles H.
Taylor. and other American League
men. McAleer and McRoy bought so
per cent of the clubs stock two years
ago 1t is said that they put up about
$4,000 in cash and the balance in
notes indorsed by Charles A. ComiskeS
and others The club made nearly
$500. 900 last year. including its share
Of the worlds series money, and
everybody seemed satisfied. But in
view of the current rumors regarding
a change in ownership it will not be
surprising II a big deal is put through
between now and next spring.

FARCE COMEDY IS
HOMERS' VICTORY
Yankees Guido Each Other in
Throwing Away Chances to
Win From Griffmen.
By SENATOR"

In a farce comedy for three innings
the Griffmen won the fourth game from
the New York Yankees, 9 to l. For six
frames it was great pitching duel be-
tween Marty McHale, the former Red
Sox twirler. and J. Carl Cashion. the
Carolina mastodon. McHale was won
derfully smooth and effective, giving but
four hits in that time. Meanwhile.
Cashion was walking every other bats
man, vet managing to squirm out OF
holes through horseshoe luck. Wild as
the big fellow was the Yankees could
not hit him till the sixth when they got
their lone hit Of the game. He was ef-
fective enough, but his wildness kept
the foe ever ready to score.
In the sixth the New York defense
cracked under the strain and two hits
With a couple of bum pegs by Rolla
Zeider gave the Griffmen three tallies.
In the next frame il was even worse. the
entire Yankee infield engaging in one
merry round of wild throwing or fumb-
ling Zeider and Sweeney playing the
principal roles. Six hits and five errors
gave the Capitalians five runs and
brought Cy Pieh, a busher from Dayton,
Ohio, into the battle
In the eighth the Yankees kept up
their lurid fielding and Pieh was kept
rushing in for bunts. One more run
streakGd across the dish before the home
boys were declared done for the day.
Joe Engel pitched the seventh and
eighth innings retiring the Yankees In
order, and Jack Bentley. the Quaker
finger from Sandy Springs. Md. wound
up the day in the box. He looked very
good in the one session he worked:

ST. LOUIS. Sept. 7.-George StovalI,
who was yesterday relieved from the
duties Of manager of the St. Louis

the clubhouse today TO collect his sf-

In letter TO Stovall yesterday,
! Hedges informed the leader Of the
Browns that his services as manager
would not be required for the remaining
baseball year. In the letter Stovall was
given the privilege of vacation for
rest OF the season, and also of leaving

some wag in the stand dubbed him.
The fielding Of the Yankees greatly
resembled that of the Griffmen against
the Athletics. Zeider and Sweeney
had off days, each contributing three
misplays to the grand total. HartzelI.

errors. Zeider Is usually a clever per

The Washington times., 1913-09-07

A week of tough battling faces the
Grinmen. Upon the results of their
performances this week depends the
teams final ranking in the American
Legue campaign for 1918. If the Capt.
talions can win four of their five con-
tests with the Naplanders, they will
have an excellent chance of finishing in
second place. If they fall before Joe
Birrningham's team, their final standing
probably will be third.
The Griffmen are within reach of the
Maps. The short space between them
can be bridged, but it will require sturdy y
battling to turn the trick. The five
games that the Maps are to play here
will go far toward determining the rel
stive positions Of the two teams when
the bell rings down the curtain month
Or so from now.
Seven games are scheduled for this
week. The New York Yankees close
their series here tomorrow. Tuesday
come the Maps fresh from their home
grounds and filled with a desire to clean
up the Griffmen. A postponed game
from their last series here will be play
&c of Tuesday in double-header, and
for the following three days the Bir-
mingham brigade will be our guests.
Saturday the Chicago White Sox open
a three-game series with the Grinmen.
Last week the Griffmen broke even.
They lost three out of four to the Ath-
letfcs and won three out OF four from
the Yankees. In the eight games played
the Griffmen made twenty-six runs and
sixty-seven hits.-The enemy scored
twenty-one runs on fifty-five hits Iii
Philadelphia the Mackmen scored fifteen
rrns or forty hits, the Griffmen tallying
eleven times on thirty hits. The Yam
KEGS scored six runs on fifteen hits, the
Griffmen getting fifteen runs on thirty
seven hits. From these figures ii would
appear that the Griffmen are holding
their own, at least.
Because of the bitter feeling held for
the Maps by the Griffmen, the Cleve-.
land club will have. to face the very
