WHITE SOX TO GET
BAYLESS NEXT YEAR
Star 0utfieIder and Captain of
Venice Team Will Get a
Chance in American League.

PORTLAND Ore. July 2.-"There
nothing in the story to the effect that
Dick Bayless will be sent to the Chi
cago White SoX in the next six weeks
We couldn't afford to weaken our team
right now. Bayless is the most valuable
player in the Coast League right now
and ii would be almost suicide TO have
him off our club
That was the statement made today
here by Happy Hogan, manager of the
Venice club
Mr.. Mailer would rather win the pa
clhc Coast League pennant than find
$4,000 in the middle of the street con-
unued Hogan. This year We have our
best chance to gather the championship,
and We are not going to weaken the club
at this stage. BayIess is just as big an
asset to us as Buddy Ryan was to Nc
Creole in 1911.
1T is cut and dried for Bayless TO go
to the White Sox In 1915 but throughout
this year he will remain with US He has
driven in more runs by far than any
other man in the league, and II he con-
tnues his good work we will win the
pennant-"
Captain Bayless today picked Venice
Portland, and Los Angeles TO finish one
two. three In the league at the end OF
the season.

DIAMOND
ECHOES
Well, we got the first one.

Well, We got the first one.
The Mackmen have won seven games
straight. ..
Harry Coveleskie got his bumps again
yesterday.
The attendance was very small for a
Walter Johnson day.
After one days playing. Dick Hob
litzell sat on the bench yesterday.
Mike Mitchell may be seen in the
Griffmen's garden whenever a south
paw opposes.
Before they get through, the powers
that-be in baseball will have driven
away all the fans.
There is more to be heard Of dollars
than baseball in the sport pages these
days. 1t cannot last.
Merito Acosta hit the ball hard every
down the line just inside of first base.
Frank Chances Yankees are a vicious
crew. They do not mean to take the
backwash of everybody and so are win
ming their share these days.
The Giants and Cubs continue TO run
along neck-and-neck. neither weakening
under the lash. II Hank O'Day can
keep this up a while longer. the Giants
may not win their fourth straight PEN
napt.
Tiny" Vaughn, after pitching won
derful ball for the last three weeks.
weakened under the strain yesterday.
though he was good in pinches. Vaughn
is now rated as one of the best south
paws in the National League.
The departure of Mike Mitchell from
the ranks of the Pirates is the first
move in the effort to rebuild that ball
team. Fred Cfarke's veterans have
fallen down badly, dropping from first
place to last in seven weeks. and the
Smoky City fans demand new blood.
Christy Mathew son Is not only great
pitcher. but he Is also fair hitter.
particularly in tight places Called on
to relieve Fromme yesterday. he pitched
alright ball for three innings and then
drove over the winning run in the
thirteenth session with a sharp single.
MART O'Toole may yet go back to
the bushes. Fred Clarke started him
yesterday against the Braves and he
handed out nine free passes. besides
being touched up for nine hits in eight
innings. O'Toole has never been a sue
cess in the big show. though expected
to- become one of the greatest twirlers
in the history of the National League.
George Sisler, Michigan University's
first-string twirler. is on the reserve
list of the Pittsburgh Pirates. When
asked to report this summer, the VOL
VERNE claimed ito have injured his
arm to such an extent that he could
not do himself justice. However, he
pitched a game in Cleveland last Sat
urday in fine style for a semi-pro team.
What's the answer?

PHILADELPHIA. July Eddie Col

Neither Mack nor Collins would say
how lone the contract runs or the sum

was said that he received substantial
boost over his present stipend. which Is
5000 ner annum.
Collins was one of the stars the Fed

would admit this. although he did NOT
refuse to say that the Feds had rnads

Graw. manager OF the New York club
of the National League, which is play

the threatened strike Of baseball play
ers TODAY. said:
Il would rather have seen the matter
nut through as planned, just to see if
the players would go on strike.
Il believe Kraft's claim was all right.
hut the news of the settlement of the
case is not especially pleasing. because
I preferred to see what the players
would really do. | would like to see
a precedent. SO We would have an idea
of how the players stand.
MY personal opinion is that the play
ers would not have struck. think the
bulk of our men would have remained
loyal. and that throughout the league
not more than 10 or 10 per cent of the
eH1Sy ers would have walked out. When

The Mackmen have now won seven

terday.
The Nationals are today in third place
but only one point ahead Of Boston,
making a victory today absolutely es-
sential to retaining their present posi-
ton BY their victory of yesterday the
Athletics are sailing along in the fore
front of the race. and unless they are
soon stopped they will be in position
where they can AFFORD to lose num-
Der of games on the coming trip with
out relinquishing their hold on the pre-
mier place.
Philadelphia is proverbiaily a home
club. Their best work is supposed TO
be done at Shibe Park. But the present
stay has been disastrous for Connie
Mack and crew. Their pitching staff
has been all shot to pieces. but the
chance of the Athletics is likely to be
told when they hit foreign soil. II
they are able TO hold their advanta ge
before crowds that are unfriendly they
may COP. but if they blow on this in
vasion they will be in dire straits with
both Detroit and Washington threaten
ing at every stage =
Chick GandiI wrecked what promised
to be a runless game when he tripled

loose with a triple, and then came Ed
Ainsmith with a single that put the
captain over. Johnson hit safely. and
