CHILL VIOLATED RULES WHEN
HE CALLED BALLS ON ENGEL
They Provide That Balk Be Called When Illegal De
livery Occurs With Men on Bases-Yankees
Open Series Here Today.

Griffith may use Joe Boehling if the
latter warns up well. Chance intends
to pitch either keating or Caldwell,
his two star twirlers, so that the lowly
Griffmen to crack. 1t is a noticeable
fact that while the New York team has
not scored many victories, It has al
ways put up stubborn battles and has
been beaten by one run more often
than any of its rivals.
Six teams in the American League are
now virtually punched. Chicago and Bos-
ton, which are only a few points be-
hind Washington, could pass to the
front within few days. It is by far
the most stubbornly fought race the
American League has ever produced, and
notwithstanding the fact that the Mack
men have a lead their success is not GER
tain by any means.
Today Boston and the Mackmen hook
up in a double-header at Philadelphia.
and three other games are to be played
by these teams in this series. The out
come of these games will be important
and may have an important bearing on
the pennant race.
Chicago has been playing remarkable
ball of late. The Sox dual victory over
the Browns yesterday gave the latter
team a severe setback and allowed De-
troit to pass up into second place again.
The Nationals are still within hailing
distance of the leaders. A winning streak
at this time will be sure to let the team
advance, and as it will play here for
nearly Il month 1t should better its posi-
ton materially.
To date the Nationals have played
twenty-three games at some and forty on
the road, yet their percentage Is over the
500 mark, and they should do a whole lot
better with a long siege of games at
home.
Criticism of Griffith for forfeiting the
game in Philadelphia Friday is being
heaped on the local manager by the press
OF the country. But with Chill in charge
this might have happened to any man
ager. Chill did the unexpected when he
forfeited the game He violated a prece-
dent when he did not give the Nationals
a chance to resume their positions before
FORGETTING the game. Had he done so Grit
fifth undoubtedly would have ordered his
players to their positions and the game
would have been resumed.
Though a complaint was lodged with
President Johnson three weeks ago anent
the insanitary condition of the visiting
clubhouse at the Philadelphia park and
the location Of the scoreboard on that
field. which makes 1t difficult for left
handed batter to see the ball pitched at
him, nothing has been done to comply
with the players protest against these
conditions.
There has been a remarkable improve
ment in Dan Moellers hitting of late,
During the past two weeks no man on
Griftith's team has been hitting better
than the Nationals right fielder In the
series with Philadelphia Moeller was par
ticularly successful with the stick, getting
nine clean hits o.. the Mack pitchers.

BY J. ED GRILLo.

Umpire Chill violated the rules when
he called balls on Joe Engel in the
game at Philadelphia Friday, when he
charged the pitcher with pitching illegally.
According to the rules, balls can only be
called on a pitcher for Illegal delivery
when the bases are unoccupied. but when
there are runners on the bags such
violation is called a balk. Chill called
| balls on Engel with the bases full when
he should have called balks. Rule 50 says:
AN unfairly delivered ball is a ball de-
hvered to the bat by the pitcher while
standing in his position and facing the
batsman that does not pass over that
portion of the home base between the
batsman's shoulder and knees, or that
| touches the ground before passing home
base, unless struck at by the batsman:
or. with the bases unoccupied. any baH
delivered by the pitcher while either
foot Is not in contact with the pitchers
plate. For every unfair delivered ball
the umpire shall call one ball.
Section 3 of the rule of Baking. reads
as follows: Amy delivery of the ball to
the bat by the pitcher while either foot
ia back of the pitchers plate is balk.
Chill was absolutely in error when he
called balls on Engel while the bases
were occupied, showing that ne IS Hot
! even familiar with the rules of the game
which he as an umpire is expected to
enforce.
Had Chill observed the rules and called
balk on Engel when he discovered ms
illegal pitching, this fact would lmmedl-
ately have attracted the attention OF
Griffith, and the chances are that tnere
would have been no occasion for the Tor
felt. But as it was Chill had walked
Murphy and had called three balls, on
vir~,S 70
he was inf1fctfng punishment on the pitch
er. If these facts are brought to the at
tention of President Johnson there Is no
doubt that he will take an entirely dli-
| ferent view of the matter. In fact, 1t IS
/ believed that under the circumstances
there are good grounds for protesting
| the game.

ager Griffith this morning. His name

The following tables have been COM
piled from the Official tabulated scores
appearing in the columns of The Star
each day from the commencement Of the
season up to Sunday, June %. and give
the reader a complete description Of the
performances Of each member Of the Ma
tionals in the sixty-four games they have
contested with the other seven teams COM
posing the American League. They have
won sixteen games from Boston. New
York and Philadelphia and lost sixteen, q
very good record, and with Chicago,
Cleveland, Detroit and ST. Louis they
have won seventeen and lost fourteen.
During the week ended Saturday, June q,
they played seven games and were vic
torious in four and defeated In three
by the Athletics. The team improved its
batting by Col and its fielding by .034.
Gandil continues to play a great game at
first base, having to date played sixty
three games with but two miscues, and
can rightly be placed at the head OF all
first basemen of the league. The team
at the present time has no 800 batsmen.
Milan and Williams being the nearest,
with .29s each, and Foster, .2s7. The fig

Especial attention seemed to be paid

Balchley. a youngster just out Of the

attention by his performances. He is
credited SO far with only one defeat
and has no-hit game against Streator

RICHEST TURF EVENT
WON BY HEAD FINISH
De Rothschild's Sardanapale, Win
ner of French Derby, Takes
Grand Prix.

PARIS, June 29.-Baron Maurice de
Rothschild's Sardanapale, ridden by
Stern. won the race for the Grand Prix
de Paris, worth 100000 francs Csc, OO0),
at Longchamps yesterday. Baron Ed
mond de Rothschild's La Farina. with
o'Neill In the saddle was second, and
Herman Duryea's Durbar II, the winner
of the English Derby. with MacGee up
French Derby two weeks ago at Chan
tilly. and is the greatest three-year-old
winner Of the year. having won SO far
s36.525 francs (s167, 3O5).
Sardanapale was one Of the choices for
the event. which was heavy betting af-
fair. The pari-mutuels took in 1919, 1870
francs ($3S3,S26), and the total intake for
all the races was 600 francs &1,OO5.-
200. The gate receipts amounted to
307, 900 francs 1920. A ten-franc
$3.50 pari-mutuel ticket paid 291k francs
$3.50.
La Farina the Favorite.
La Farina was the favorite and took
the lead at the start. Saccharose running
second and Duryea's Durbar II three
lengths behind. with Sandanapale fifth.
This order was not changed materially
until the horses reached the straightaway
for home, when Sardanapale drew up
and at the finish beat La Farina by a
head. Durbar II was four lengths be-
hind. Thirteen horses started. The win
ner's time for the mile and seven fur
longs was 81 rs. as against the pre-
vious record of 3.13 20.
1t seemed as If every soul in Paris
was going to Longchamps, yesterday
afternoon either for the races. or toward
the Bots de Boulogne to watch the others
going to the races. The crowd within
the course was SO dense that moving
about became a problem, and the oppor-
tunity for the display of new modes was
nullified. This loss however, was not SO
great, as the Grand Prix has lost stand
ing as a dress exhibition, while on the
part of the men straw hats are displac-
ing the silk hats more and more each
year.

League club has signed four local ball
players-Giovannetti Edmonston. Munich
and Becker. Becker and Edmonston are
left handed pitchers. while Munich and
Giovannetti are catchers. Becker is the
lad who had a chance to make good with
the Nationals and who really did good
work for quite a while: Edmonston has
pitched some mighty good ball in his ca
reer, also. Munich and Giovanetu are
probably the two best catchers in local
ranks. Their work Is much above the
ordinary, and both have a chance to make
good with almost any minor league club.

War and Commissioners have proved
the weak teams in the Dep.-. lmental
League. Commissioners have done a
little better than War, but the record of
either team is nothing to be proud of.
War has won three games and lost thir-
teen. AS might be supposed, it could
hardly hope to be anything other than
tail-ender, with such a poor past. Com
missioners have not won any more games
than War, but have managed to lose two
less. The Commissioners were pennant
winners in the Departmental League
when they played in it before. but they
have certainly dropped considerably
since.
