Senate Will Pass Bill.

Washington, Aug. 10.-The bill
which passed the house. providing
for American registry of foreign
ships purchased by Americans. will
be taken up by the senate tomorrow.
The measure is destined to assist the
shipment of American products
abroad, now made impracticable, by
the lack of an American mercaan
marine. There are no evidences OF
opposition, and it will probably be
passed as it came from the house.

him back cos Ia,wanted to see the
braves have evry chance they could
get.
You asst me to send YOU a siseup and
I'm going to do 1t altho there aint
much to siseup. The Athaletics is go

There aint goin to be nothin to It but
who has ben goin thru the Natunal

that there's few stiffs left who nose
how to bat. ..+..- 5s.a.,
And told Evers that he had oughta
make Stallings put sine posts. up by
the home plate and then turn a serch-
lite on the hole thing SOS the pitch
ers could find the base.
I don't see why stallinEs wants to
waste money by paying catcher to
work In this series. They wont need
no catcher cos these Athaletics Is not
going to let the ball git by them pro-
yidin It Gums within six feet a them.
Wen they gets Roin with ther clubs
ers out near the fence. I think may
be anyhow Stallings is going to line
the hole gang up along the fence cos
he had oughta know that wen the
Athaletics hits the ball they genrally
always ships 1t clere to the walls. and
when they does that wots the good a
having players on the bases.
Say Sports you'll have tn send me

HIGH PLAYERS
GIVEN SHAKEUP
"Doc" O'Keefe Makes Big
Shift and it Appears to
s.. III. Work Well. 49,

Coach o'Keefe gave his sridiron
gladiators a big slakeup last night
with the result that considerable
improvement was apparent in the
practice.
Captain Dryden was switched from
full back to right end. and Collins.
who has been playing half back since
the injury to Roy Carter last Satur-
day was sent in at the other wing po-
sition.
Bill Elton, former end, went in at
full back, and Tony Lodmell who has
also been one Of the fankers played
half back. Dugan was at quarter
back and Rheinhold jacob played
half back as usual.
The shift appeared to work we'll.
and when the men are settled in their
new positions 1t is expected that it
will add greatly to the efficiency Of the
team.
Special attention was given last
night to forward passing. Both Ja-
cobi and Lodmell are throwing the
pill with considerable accuracy, and
1t Is believed that considerable ground
will be gained by the air route during
the rest Of the season.
During the practice last night the
boys were put through stiff signal
drill, and then given half hour Of
scrimmage against the scrubs. They
gained at will.
Coach O'Keefe will continue to
work the men hard during tho next
two days in preparation for the Graf
ton game Sunday. ''-s .rt

II Grantland Rice, we'll known
sports writer, is any authority we're
willing to sink deeper than ever. in
the mire Of backing the Boston
Braves-providing we can raise a
generous outlay Of iron dicks We
have had kind Of spineless leaning
toward the Braves, but Rice has
whizzed along with the food that has
given 1t the necessary vitality to make
1t kick up and chase around adver-
tising itself.
In the current issue Of coilier's
Rice discusses THE Miracle Club"
Braves He gives an interesting his,
tory Of the sensational climb Of the
Stallings crew, and then says:
Boston reached the top in 1914
Just as Fielder. Jones did in. 1906
with no great attack, but with a de-
Tense almost impregnable. Boston's
batting average all the year has been
below .250. Her runners have stolen
fewer bases than any other rival. Her
consistent. But attached to wonderful
pitching was wonderful fielding-and
all Of 1t at it's best in the PINCH"
And when you analyze their re-
markable climb you come to the con-.
clusion that Rice has made a safe hit.
The wonderful defensive playing of
Evers and Maranville. tempered by
the slower. but consistently reliable
performance Of the other fielders, has
had as much. perhaps more, to do
with the Braves success as the great
pitching of Rudolph, Tyler and James.
Rice's article has served to add a
little enthusiastic fuel to our Boston
hearth. 1t makes, us feel more than
ever that perhaps the great stick
work Of the Mack contingent is NOT
going to cut quite such a slice out OF
the worlds series dough this year. If
the trio Of Boston pitchers are given
the same sensational support, the
Athletics are going to have no rock
bound cinch. Right now, this cinch
person is not smiling any too beatific-
ally on the Philadelphia gang:

Dick Rudolph, Boston's Great
Pitcher, to Play Big Part in Series
Has Wonderful Mark
for Seasons Work
Started Pitching for Fordham College
Led international, League in 1912
Has wonderful 'ooasrol.

4
Il Dick Rudolph, twirler for the
Boston Braves, doesn't give q Splen-
did account Of himself- during the
worlds series, fandom will be very
much surprised. His record for, the
season is twenty-six- games won. and
nine lost. No other pitcher in the Ma
tional league. except James Of Bos-
ton, can show a record equally rs
good.
Beginning Labor day in Boston, he
pitched and won seven games In
nineteen days. In that mad career he
faced the Cincinnati, Reds on Septem-
der 16 ana again on September II,
and shut them out each time. Dick
thus tops both the National ana
American leagues in endurance as
well as effectiveness. Instead Of
Giants confidently predicted, Rudolph
improved right along.
Dick Rudolph was horn in New
York and his permanent homo 10 In
the Bronx. In 1906 he pitched for
Fordham college, and in the summer
OF 1906 and 1907 played for Rutland.
W.T. in that fast Independent. league
that has been the starting point for
20 many college professiohals in tho
past ten or ffteen years.
The ambitious Richard went to the
New York State league In 1908. ana
in 1903 was grabbed by Toronto, Of
the then ,6astern league, now known
~ the International. 80 good an im-
preston did Dick make In Toronto
that he was taken over by the New
York Giants. who carried him south
In tho spring OF 1912. but sent him
back to Toronto without q real trial
on the sround that he was too small.
Richard looms pretty large tust now.

SMITHS INJURY
SHOCK TO BOSTON
Deal to Play Third in the

Better than Smith.
(By Hugh Fullerton,

(by Hugh F'ullerton.)
Philadelphia, Oct. s.---Boston's
of the hardest blows ever suffered By
worlds series aspirant. "Red"
Smith ;is left IN hospital in Brooklyn
with Q compound fracture Of an ankle
and Stallings plans for the series are
seriously disarranged. Stallings had
told his men that the regulars would
be excused from the second game, SO
Smiths injury came at. the last possi-
BILE moment. -. +.
BY odd coincidence it was the fourth
anniversary Of the accident to Evers,
who broke his leg on the eve of the
worlds championship series between
Chicago and the Athletics. stallings
told me today his plans for filing the
gap in the defense. He will start Deal
In each game Of the series. but, If a
ed, he will withdraw Deal and send
Whttted in to bat and play third base.
Deal q Better Fielder.
The chief effect Of the injury to
Smith Is psychological rather than
real. Deal 'is much the better third
oaseman as far as fielding goes. He
can beat Smith at all departments
save hitting the ball. He has had a
and It is probable Smith will not be
missed. Whitted can hit. but If he
hits for Deal and then plays third,
the team will be weakened In defense.
The injury Of Smith came as a
shock to tho Braves and It Ia evident
they are discouraged. Smith was 60
ing at top. speed and playing better
than he ever did and the Braves feel
that his hitting will be missed.
