NASHVILLE RIOT ID BE INVESTIGATED BY
 PRESIDENT BAUGH
Waiting for Report From Umpires-S Shropshire Says Bad Police Protection
 Cause of the Trouble

President Robert H. Baugh announced yesterday afternoon that he intended to make full investigation of the riot in Nashville Sunday and that someone would suffer for the disturbance. Mir. Baugh at first intended to make the trip to Nashville. but after lengthy conver- sation with President Horace Shrop- shire of the Nashville club he decided to wait until a full report from the umpires has been received.
 As result of the riot, John Dodge, third baseman for the Nashville club, and Norman Eberfeld, manager of the Chattanooga team. were arrested by the police authorities on charge of disor- derly conduct. Dodge was paroled but Eberfeld forfeited his bond. No one was seriously hurt by the flying bottles that infuriated fans were throwing at umpires. but several players and spec tators were hit by them.
 President Shropshire of the Nashville club, in. conversation with me over long distance telephone this morning, assured me that the affair was entirely due to the fact that there was not am- pie police protection on the grounds at the time," said President Baugh, when question as to his action on the mix-up.
 T intend to take drastic action against the responsible party or parties. Such an occurrence is blur on the baseball record and I will surely be upheld by the fans in condemning 1t. The full re- port from the umpires will probably ar- rive tomorrow, and it Is on their report that l will base my action. The matter will be thoroughly cleared up.''
 The fracas is alleged to have been caused by bad decisions from the um- pires and the banishment Of George Kircher from the coaching line. A large crowd was present at the game. The situation was exceedingly dangerous for time, but the departure of the um- pires and Eberfeld from the field stopped the bombardment of pop bottles toward the fortified position of the participants. The riot was the first of it's kind in the Southern league for good many years

FIGHT FOR PENN WANTS IN MAJOR LEAGUES
 CONTINUES CLOSE
Red Sox Have Three and Half Game Lead Over Tygers Three Cornered Fight in National League Continues All Contenders Win Games-Philles Playing
 Great Bal-Important Series Coming

New York, september 13-Leaders in Both major leagd@ were victorious to- day.
 The Boston Americans, by virtue of their strength in the box, took two games from Chicago and increased their lead to three and one-half games over De- troit, who won another game from New York.
 All the teams in the three-cornered fight for the National League pennant won their games. Philadelphia opened the series at Pittsburg by taking a hard fought l3-inning battle, while Brooklyn defeated St. Louis and Boston nosed out ahead of Chicago. Thus the Phillies re- tain a four-g game lead.
 The Philles have not lost a game since they suffered their recent severe setback
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-09-14

at Brooklyn, while the Superbas and the Braves have been vacillating between second and third places. The Phllies have played consistent baseball through out the season except for the month when Chicago was on top, and with the com fortable lead they now have Philadelphia fans are confident part of the world 8 series will be played in their city. Phila- delphia has four games to play with Brooklyn and four with Boston and these two series are expected to definitely de- eide the race.
 The Boston Americans, who were only a game ahead of the Tigers after suf- fering a temporary slump, seem to have struck their gait again and although the Tigers continue to win most of their games the Red Sox have widened the breach.

 New Orleans, September 1S.-(Spe- cial )-Timely hitting by the locals broke Karl Blach's winning streak to- day, the score being 5 to ?. Roy Wal ker was on the mound for the Pelicans and although he allowed more hits than Black he was strong in the pinches. He received faultless support through out the nine innings and sensational support saved many runs.
 The Barons played their usual good game in New Orleans and forced the Pels to go to the limit to escape with a win. large crowd saw the game, which was the final battle of the sea- son here. the Pels starting a long road trip tomorrow.
 Black was wild and this had much to do with his defeat. He passed six men, two scoring. Of the five hits se- cured off his delivery, one was cir cult clout by Edmondson in the first in- ming.
 The Barons took a one-run lead Tn the first inning Sloan hit safe and stole second. He was brought home on Lindsay's hit The next and final Bar on counter was made III tle loui th' Dannie Clark scoring after he had hit safe.
 The Pels made three in their half of the first. Hendryx went out but Black grew wild and passed Reilly and Thomas in succession. Edmondson leaned against one of his choice curves and sent a long drive to the score board that went for circuit trip. An other counter was added in the second on a pass, a sacrifice and a hit In the seventh another run was pushed across for good measure.
 By winning todays game the Pels in- creased their lead over the Barons to 1Oh games. With only II more games on their schedule the Pels are now practically assured of winning the rag. One more victory will cinch the pen nant for Dobbs.
 The Pels start a three-game series against the Chicks tomorrow in Mem phis. The Barons left tonight for lI1t- tie Rock where they play tomorrow. Dick Robertson will probably be Moley's choice to oppose the Travellers in the first game.

MEXICAN RIVAL CHIEFS
GREATLY TROUBLED
BEcKER'S LAST HOPE
Fate OF New York Police Lieutenant,
Sentenced TO Die, Rests With
Governor Whitman

Albany. N. Y-The court of appeals
denied the application of Charles
Becker for a reargument on its deer
sion affirming his sentence of death.
Becker, convicted of inspiring the
murder Of Herman Rosenthal, is in the
Sing Sing death house, sentenced 10
die during the week of July II. In
PREVENTION by Governor Whitman, or
the United States Supreme court,
alone can save him, according to legal
authorities. Little hope is expressed
that the federal court will act favor
ably. or that the governor, who pros
ecuted the former police officer, will
be inclined to grant him clemency.
There was no written opinion in the
case handed down Becker's attorneys
alleged in the application for reargu-
ment that Justice Seabury, who pre-
sided at the second trial, in instruct
ing the jury, failed to present fully the
defense's testimony.

GOVERNOR SLATON
COMPUTES FRANK
Leo M. Frank Commences
Life Term at Prison
Farm.

Atlanta-The sentence of Leo M.
Frank, condemned to die for the MUIR
der of Mary Phagan on Memorial
Day two years ago, was committed by
Governor John M. Slaton to life i'm
prisonment.
taken out of the Jail under guard of
Sheriff Mangum and number of
his deputies and taken to the Termi-
nal station. He was placed on Cen
trail of Georgia train No. s, which
left at midnight for Milledgeville,
where Frank will at once begin serv-
ing a life sentence.
Governor Slaton, when seen at his
country home, refused absolutely to
discuss the case. Frank was seen at
the Terminal station, as he passed
through to take his train to Macon
by six or seven employees of the
Terminal station and by Officers Car
ter and Watson of the Atlanta police
force.
The governors action in the Frank
case came as a complete surprise to
everybody, since it was generally be-
lieyed that there would be no decis-
ion announced until later. The pris-
oner was taken out of the back door
of the jail, and was hurried to the
station.
At Macon the train was met by a
number of reporters. Frank and his
guards left the train at the Central
City, and Frank selected an automo-
bile, in which the entire party left
at once for the state farm at Mil
ledgeville, where he will probably be
given some light work.
The prisoner had little to say about
his case or about the action of the
governor in committing his sentence.
Sheriff Mangum talked freely of the
case. He said that the governor had
committed the sentence early in the
night, and that plans had at once
been made for taking Frank to the
state farm.
The governor gave out his opinion
later, telling just why he acted.
