DOUGLAS BEATS
OLD TEAMMATES
FOR SUPERBAS
KilIifer Only One of Reds
TO Give Pitcher Much
Trouble.
GETZ AND MYERS
SHARE IN HONORS
after Does Some Clever Work
on Bases and Gets Homer
in Seventh.

Phil Douglas was elected to member
ship with full privileges IN the Elk
Reds Club, an exclusive organization
Of good ball players who were not good
enough for Cincinnati.
The election was made at Ebbets
Field yesterday afternoon in the pres
ence of some $500 fans, and Douglas
went straightway about proving MS
worth. lie defeated his former com
panions by a score of 70 ,, and every
one was happy except Charley Herzog.
Douglas went about his task OF VIM
ming the game with great deliberatlon
and forethought. II took him some
little time to find the groove for err
vice to Wade Killifer. and before ne
made the discovery Killifer had Just
about accounted for the two runs the
Reds scored. He tripled in the second
scoring on a subsequent MT ana ms
double drove home the other. Helnle
Groh gave him a bit of trouble a so:
but was unable to make the circuit OF
the bases. Groh tripled IN the nInth'
with only one out, too.
Gus Getz. who was named by Johnny
Fvcrs as the coming star OF the Dig
leagues at third base, and Hy Myers
shared the glory Of the afternoon win
DOUGLAS. and il may be said IN passing
that there was glory enough Tor an
hands. Myers scored two runs, Wh'Ie
Getz drove two home.
Myers was by far more distinctive IN
his cndeavor. He tricked the Cincln-
natl infeld most beautifully IN the
third frame. Having singled TO rlght
field. Hv loafed indolently around on
g., boca until UprZOC relaxed his
vigilance and Joe Rodgers was dream
ing of worlds series games that ne
might never play in. When Ivy NlhG0
raised his arm slowly to toss the ball
back 10 the box Myers raced down 20
second. Wingo saw, and cut loose
throw that fairly cleaved the bag, but
no one was there TO receive II. Myers
ran TO third and scored on Olle
ONara's Texas Lacquer 10 centre.
In the seventh inning he smashed the
ball 10 the centre field fence and raced
around for home run. This eXer-
+ior in the heat took a lot out OF
MYERS. and when. in the eighth inning
he had TO run hard after a line drive
bv Rodgers he became sick. Time was
called while restoratives were admin
jstered and Hy finished the game.
Rube Rcnton, a candidate for motor
cycling honors. started the game for
the Reds but retired in the fifth INN
ing 10 lot Tommy Leach hit for HIM.
Three runs had been scored of the
soutbpaw before he retired and Ked
Ames was found for only one. MS
was the home run smash by Myers.
The score follows:

NO FIXED" RACE,
SAYS JOHNNY EVERS
In Advance of Investigation
Boston Player Pleads
Bad Temper.

Boston, July 15.- Remarks alleged 70
have been made from the side lines b.
Captain Evers of the Boston Braves
during last Tuesdays baseball game
with the st. Louis Cardinals are to be
the subject of the investigation which
President Tener will make here to-
morrow.
Evers, taking exception to a decision
by Rigler, who declared Bob BesCher
safe at the plate on a close play, was
quoted IN a newspaper as having
shouted:
They're trying TO get the crowds
out; they've ordered close race; leave
them alone, boys; they're only follow
ing Instructions"
EverS later expressed indignation be-
cause his remarks had been interpreted
as a claim that the National League
race was fixed" He said:
Il claim no such thing. I've been in
baseball long enough to know better
To b, sure, | might have said anything
on the ball field. When an umpire
hands you one like RiGler did at the
home plate what you say will invari-
ably be the result of hard feeling at
the time.
you're out there fighting, and any
thing you can get away with goes
Nobody living could fix race like the
one IN the National League just now.
It's the greatest ever, and we all have
chance
George Stallings said: There is abb
solutely no truth in the story that
Captain Evers said that the National
League race was fixed"
