CONNIE MACK GLAD

PHILADELPHIA, July 1.-THE st.
Louis Brownies. one Of the toughest
teams facing the Mackmen this season,
are here today. and the fans are in
clined to believe that they will win a
majority Of their games from the cham
pions. Manager Hickey plans to use
Weilman. the tall southpaw, and he
generally gives the Mackmen plenty OF
trouble. The Tigers won three out Of
four games from the House Of Mack,
battling eleven innings to a tie yester-
day. Connie Mack Is glad they have
left town. A few more such clashes and
the Mackmen will not be leading this
race.
Three frames sufficed for Cavet, the
Mackmen driving over fve runs In that
time. 1t looked like another Fhiladel-
phia victory, but the Tigers rallied in
the eighth. scoring six runs. driving
Pennock from the slab, and giving
Bender a trouncing. Two more came
over in the ninth. and II looked all over
until Coveleskie took q beating in the
last half. three runs scoring and even

MINOR LEAGUERS IN
GREAT DIFFICULTIES
Towns in Several Circuits Have
Trouble Playing Bills on
Meagre Receipts.

The unusual lack OF interest in
baseball this year Is shown in the
financial difficulties Of tile little
minor leagues. Within the last few
days serious trouble has developed in
the New England. Tri-State. K I. T.,
South Michigan. and Central circuits.
The Tri-state found 1t necessary to
switch the York franchise to Ian
caster. Two towns we're dropped
from the K. L T. because the man
agemtnts couldn't guarantee salaries.
The Springfield club. of the Central
League. was placed in the hands OF
a receiver yesterday. the other club
owners guaranteeing salaries so that
the schedule might be carried out
temporarily until successor for
Springfield Is found.

sponge. The stockholders will not re-
alize a penny on their investments.
Everything is \ dead loss.
Organized baseball attributes most OF
its troubles to the Federal League. II
is claimed that the outlaws have de-
stroyed In a great measure the public
confidence in the game. The magnates
will not admit that possible financial
strinsency is at the bottom of 1t ali.
They point out that during the panicky

In the old days before the interests OF
the major and minor leagues were
amalgamated through the national
agreement 1t was the custom Tor the
little leagues to explode about this time
OF the year. Promoters organized cir
cults in those days evidently with the
sole purpose of collecting his holiday
tolls. The Fourth of July usually
marked the getaway.
During the past five or SIX years;
however, the interest in oaseoall
throughout the country was so great
that most of the little minor leagues
we're able to make a profitable showing
on the investments. They reared a ricn

Certainly the international League

for Relief.

In Absence of Midget Third
sacker, WaIIy Smith Will
Hold Down the Position.
" THOMAS KIRBY.

Ed Foster visited an osteopath
this afternoon and had an examina-
ton of the muscles of his back made.
He may not be able to play third in
the opening game Of the series with
Detroit.
The first time up yesterday Foster
missed a vicious swing at the ball
and in twisting around he strained
his back. He continued at the plate
and made a hit, later scoring. But
as he went to the bench the pain in
creased and he had to leave the field.
Today ne found that every time
he attempted to stoop he could not
get his breath. AS soon as Griffith
earned of the condition of the third
baseman, the manager ordered Fos-

Ty Cobb. Cobb arrived here late yes
terday afternoon. and was at National
Park to see the Griffmen and Browns
in action. He has deep cash in his

Should the occasion arise, 1t is not

emergency hitter.
oscar Wit was injured by a thrown
back at third today. Otherwise Purtell
will play there. while Heilman, q right
hand hitter, will be seen in -Cobb's gar
den.
During his term of service on the
elevation yesterday Walter Johnson es-
tablished what is probably a season 8
record in the matter of control.
Not counting fouls after there were
two strikes on the batter, the twirling
car pitched exactly fifty-eight times.
Seven of these were hit safely, but of
balls, while forty-three were strikes.
This shows that he averaged but one
ball in slightly more than every fifth
strike.
The mark amply demonstrates the
performance of the moundsman who
his comrades with bats not given him
such a commanding lead that after the
second inning he was able to take
things his own way. His justifiabie
loafing in the third. however, forced
him into a jam that required all his
admitted proves to escape without be-
ing scored upon.
TIE first three men In this session hit
him safely, but with none out he buzzed
them in in a manner that makes him
the greatest slabbist in the game, and
which the third retirement had been
recorded not a runner had advaSced.

nevertheless true. johnson never look
