The acquisition of Marty O'Toole of
the Pittsburgh team by Manager Nc
GraW of the Giants may cut a decided
figure in the present pennant race in
the old league. True. O'Toole has not
been doing much for the Pirates this
season On only few occasions has he
won his games, and he may not be
of the slightest help to the Giants.
But sometimes a change of clubs and
environment makes lot of difference
in player. and McGraw evidently is
going to take that chance.
That the New York leader feels that
his pitching staff cannot be relied on
is indicated by his picking up O'Toole.
1t is an encouraging fact from a
New York standpoint, however. that
every one of the pitchers McGraw has
used in recent games has shown ex-
cellent form Mathewson, Tesreau, and
even Demaree, have come through of
late, and IL they can keep up their
present pace there is not much danger
of the Giants being beaten.
Neither of the leading contenders.
New York and Boston, is scheduled
to play today. but tomorrow the Braves
hook up with the Fhtllies on the lat
ter'sgrounds while the Giants go over
to Brooklyn and play the Dodgers.
This part of the schedule does not ap-
pear to give either team an advantage
The Braves are just as apt to beat the
PhilIies as the Giants are to defeat
Brooklyn.
lyn is not going to have stimulating eff
feet on the attendance of the Washing
ton Yankee series which will be going on
at the Polo Grounds at that time. New
York fans are naturally interested in the
Giants campaign because of the closeness
of the race in the National League. SO
that few will venture out to the Polo
Grounds and view the Yankees and Ma
tionals.
The reported decision of organized base
ball not to consider any overtures for a
compromise with the Federal League is
undoubtedly the direct result OF the fall-
ure which the new league has made dur
ing the present season.
Base ball men do not figure that the
Feds can possibly last for another sea
son. Having kept tab on their attendance
in every city this season, the figures show
that the league as whole mas lost d
fortune The fact that there is little or
no chance for the Feds to strengthen
their teams with the stars from the major
leagues makes the outlook none too
bright, and 1t is generally conceded that
the next season is to be another bloomer:
That the powers in organized base ball
would have considered a compromise
proposition some time ago is generally
known in base ball circles. but since then
they have been convinced that the Feds
can't last much longer and they want to
let them die a natural death.
The umpiring in the Southern League
evidently is proving no more salts
factory than 1t has in the American
this season, but it takes Dick Jemi-
son of the Atlanta Constitution to give
vent to his feelings in an appropriate
manner. Here is what he printS:
''Breitenstein Is going entireiy 100
far. We've stood all we're going to
stand from these umpires this season.

be the best that has ever taken place in
the south is certain. Phe best runners

to take part. 1t had been hoped to have
many foreign entrants. but the condi-
tons in Europe now are not such as to
allow of much enthusiasm over a project
to send athletes to America to compete
in track and field events.
Here is a scrap of conversation that
has just come to light which took place
at TIE National regatta at Philadelphia
early in August:
One of the coaches OF a big university
crew was talking about the Analostan
boat and many criticisms were made
Of the technique of the rowing done by
the local boys They did this too much,
and that too far. and about half dozen
things that a good crew should not be
guilty of were mentioned.
One of the bystanders was prompted
to ask this question: How did the Ana
crew."
"Oh, they beat US by about four
lengths" responded the coach
And there was a roar of laughter that
went around the circle of oarsmen in
response
When the Richmond club comes here
Saturday for the final double-header in
the intercty series it will have a deter
mination to succeed in winning one of the
contests anyway. 1t will want to take
the long end of the score in both. as that
would undoubtedly be a great balm for
the wounds that town has suffered at
the hands of Washington amateurs in
previous years. A clean sweep of the
series against Washington is possible.
though the local followers of the sport
are hoping that will not come to pass.
Just what would be done in the event
the Ninth Street Christians were to do
the unexpected and win both games
scheduled for the local field is doubtful
That proposition has never come up as
vet. though it is we'll realized that 1t
may at any time. So far. four games
have been sufficient to decide the cham
pionship. but whenever the clubs are
evenly matched that will probably not
be so. Whether the odd game will be
played if Ninth is a two-time victor this
week is not known; nor can 1t be said
where that contest would take place
1t would be a problem that representa-
| tives of the two cities would have to de-
| termine at special meeting.

Ed. Thrall has succeeded Jim Rice as

national regatta held at Philadelphia
during the early part of August. He did

Just why Rice did not return to con-
tinue his work with the Potomac boats is
not known. 1t has been rather difficult
to get the right end of the matter. as
Rice himself is not here and others do
not appear to want to talk about it. 1t
is understood. though, that Rice was
much chagrined because of the rather
poor showing of the Potomac boats in
the national regatta. and refused to have
anything more to do with coaching them.

was not responsible for Rice not return

will take part in the events to be held at
Baltimore Labor day-the Middle States
regatta. The Potomacs will be repre-
scented by their eight and a four, while
the Analostans will have their bbat in the
junior and intermediate. and possibly the
senior eight-oarcd races.
The Analostans have a better crew
than the Potomacs. and it is on them
that the hopes of the local rowing con-
tingent must depend. 1t would not be
at all surprising to see the wearers of the
Blue and White win two of the events.
and it seems that the chances favor them
to take first place in one at least. The
crew has been broken up of late to a

placed by more or less green youngsters.

chances very much. as the new boys are
showing good form.
A series of events was scheduled last
week between the Potomacs and Analos-

AYERS TO HAVE CHANCE

Underhand Pitcher Has Had Good
Rest and Ought to

BY ]. ED GRILLo.

Clyde Milan will break back into the
Nationals lineup today. Manager
Griffith made this announcement after
returning from the ball park, where
he supervised the batting practice this
morning. Griffith refused to say what
to make room for Milan. He said
that he had not made up his mind as
to the change and would not until just
before the game starts.
The chances are, of course, that it is
Shanks who will be benched, because
if Griffith is sincere in wanting to get
all the batting strength he possibly
can in the lineup. Snanks is the logi-
cal man to be taken out.
Doc Ayers. after having had several
days rest, is to be pitted against the
White Sox today in the hope OF paving
the way for an even break in the present
series.
With two victories to their credit the
Sox are hopeful of making a clean sweep
here, for the Callahan clan is decidedly
anxious to finish in the first division. 1t
is likely that Joe Benz will do the Twill
ing for the Sox, and the butcher boy is
usually very effective against the locals.
NJ. Fourier. who has been responsible
for both Sox victories here, will, Of
course be in the line up, but he may
find Doc Ayers and his underhand deliv-
cry not near as easy as Johnsons has
been for him.
1t is doubtful if there is another in
stance in base ball history where
pitcher of note has been hit consecutively

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, September l. Marty

world as the highest priced pitcher in

the New York Giants. a deal for his
services was closed last night at a
conference between Manage John ].

Giants at an early hour this morning.
The deal was or cash basis, with no

were bidding for his services. with
the result that the price went skyward
until the base ball world looked on in
awe. Manager McGraw was after
OToole at that time and he had Scout
Mike Finn at st. Paul taking care of
the New York clubs interests. After
Pittsburgh had gained title to the
player for $500, it was said that a
delay in the transmission of a tele-
gram prevented the Giants from get
ting the pitcher or at least making
Pittsburgh go higher for his services
Since that time waivers have been
asked on O'Toole, but McGraw has al
ways declined to pass up any chance
to get him. despite his repeated failure
to show up to major league require
