MORE SPEED NEEDED
TO SAVE RECORD
Threaten to Drop Below Marks
Held So Often by Washing
ton Clubs.

Manager Birmlngham's Maps are los
ing ground so rapidly IN the American
League race that many fans have an
idea they may fracture the league rec
ord in the matter of low percentage
The Maps seem to be doing their level
best to set a new mark, but they'll
have to travel some to fracture marks
set by several clubs that have graced
last place.
Washington was the butt of many q
Joke when the Mats We're hitting the
low spots so consistently before Clark
Griffith took charge OF the team.
Audiences roared with laughter when
comedians referred to Washington as
being First in war, first in peace,
and last in the American League"
That club brought up the rear of the
procession four timcs-in 1903. l90l 1901
and 1903. All OF the Washington clubs
last place marks were poorer than
that the Maps now have. Washington 3
1907 club holds the lowest percentage
record in the leagues history-.2Sl
Washington also holds the next poor
est mark. In 1909. the club finished
last with a percentage of 276.
st. Louis carried the league on its
shoulders for four seasons, the lowest
mark being .296 in 1911.
Baltimore and Milwaukee captured
last places in the league in 1901 and 1907.
Boston finished last in 1906 and New
York in 1908 and 1872.
1t is unlikely that the Maps will fin
ish with a mark as low as $50 and
break the record of the Washington
club. The outfit that represented Wash
ton that season was much weaker than
this years Nap team.

SLUMP IN FEDERAL
CIaud Cooper's Batting Average
Drops Down From Charmed
Circle to Poor Mark.

Claude Cooper, the young outfielder
whom the Feds coaxed away from
John J. McGraw by offering $1,000
year and $1,000 in cash. is hitting ex-
actly .I97 for the Brooklyns- As a
young Claude biffed the pill at 300
clip in twenty games.
In fact, travelling in the Federal
League circuit has caused violent
shake-up In several major leaguers
who deserted organized baseball TO
become members of the Junior cir
cult.
A certain percentage of those who
fell victims to the dazzling Cffer OF
the Feds have used the mixture OF
pitching talent to polish their aver
ages and convince their former bosses
that the new league Is rattling fine
place to strive for greater records.
Another army OF ex-big leaguers
have tripped tremendously IN oas'ihs ,hs
attainments and a comparison or the
slugging feats of these stars against
their 1913 performances in the Amer
lean and National shows that at least
eight prominent athletes have missed

Smith, another Boston jumper. are
the coterie of late big league players
who have hit a slump during their
Federal career.
Many of the former National and
American League performers are
moving along as at rational gait.
"Runt" Walsh, Danny Murphy, Otis
Crandall and several other athletes
are progressing as per their 1913 rec
ord in the big league. Walsh gained
a 1913 mark subbing for the Phillles.
He compiled a 1876 average with the
Baltimore Terapins.
Danny Murphy slugged a 1922 aver
age for the Athletics last season and
has, topped this mark by points dur
ing the present Federal campaign.
The downfall of the eight big slug
gers is an unsuspected surprise. Who
ever heard of Otto Knabe falling 20
the shallow mark OF ISL? Otto Is
one of the most able players and
managers in the Feds region
Rariden is hitting .V67 with the
Hoosiers and last year batted .2so

JESSE WILLARD IS
OUT WITH HIS Def
aKnsas Cowboy Wants to Bat
tie Carpenter Either in Paris
or America.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 26.-Tom
Jones. manager of Jesse Willard, the
Kansas City cowboy. today issued a
challenge to Georges Carpenter, the
Frenchman who defeated Gunboat
Smith in London.
Jones says he will let Willard fight
Carpenter in Paris or over here, and
will also give the Frenchman a 5000
side bet. Jones declares that Willard
is the only man in the ring today who
can beat Jack Johnson. and thinks a
win over Carpenter will force the negro
to give his protege a chance.
Willard has about eliminated every
available heavyweight on this side and
is rated by most critics as the coming
heavyweight champion.
It is doubted here whether Carpen-
tier will accept Wizards def, but Jones
says he will keep after the Frenchman
until he either battles Willard or ad-
mits he doesn't care for any OF his
game.
