balls in the third. Coveleskie. who fol-
lowed, also famed.

After Cobb popped up in the fourth he
examined the ball for a trace Of emery,
but was unable to find 1t.
Henry worked the hit and run sue
cessfully in the fourth with Merito Acosta
singing to left and advancing the Cuban
to third.
Burns had all of the put-outs in the
fifth inning.
Gandil hit a liner at Bush in the sixth

Bush grabbed the ball with one hand.
The Tigers were retired in order in the

When Gallia famed in this inning he al
most fell off his pins after a healthy
swing.
Two pinch hitters were used in the

RUMORED WILLARD
WAS PUT TO SLEEP

New York. Aug. 11.-There is a per-
sistent rumor and one that grows
that Sandy Ferguson, the time-hon-
ored Boston heavyweight. knocked
out Jess Willard in an exhibition bout
recently. Ferguson himself has vol
unteered no statement on the mat
ter. but those who declare they wit
messed the match insist that the story
is true. and that the conqueror of
johnson was soundly thrashed by the
inimitable Sandy.
The tale runs along in this wise:
Jess Willard. as is well known, is
travelling with Wild West show, Of
fering stipulated sum of money to
any and all who last four rounds with
him. Ferguson wandered in to see
the Wild West show. Then, when
he heard the call for any one to enter
the ring with Willard. Sandy allowed
as how he could last four rounds with
a hon. So he donned ring attire and
went in to do battle.
OF course, Wizards attendants did
not recognize Ferguson. If they had
this tale might never have been writ
ten. They thought he was a "softy,"
SO the match went on.
All that Is known is that Fergu-
son is still around, and when willard's
name is mentioned he smiles and al
lows how Sandy Ferguson is now. was
in the beginning. and will continue
to be some battler."

have no idea of cutting the admis-

the inevitable reduction of players
salaries in due time. and the stars
appear to be satisfied to let well

Recent figures show the American
League base runners this season to
be much better than their rivals In
the National League. The American
Leaguers have stolen S32. against 669

cidentally, bring up a rather interest
ing question. Is 1t true that the
catchers in the National League are
better or that their base runners are
really slower?
Experts who have timed the vari-
Gus runners declare the National
League has more fast men than the
American. If that be true II must be
that the catchers are better in the
National or that the runners are less

YALE COACH QUITS
TO BECOME SCRIBE

New Haven, Aug. u-Frank Quinby.
the Yale baseball coach. has Joined the
stan of the sporting department Of a
New Haven paper and will begin work
Immediately. 1t is known that Quinby
has sent his resignation to the athletic
committee of the university to take effect
at once, although his term as coach has
another year to run. There was friction.
it is said. between the coach and Capt.
Lou Middlebrook. of the varsity nine,
over the exercise of authority.
The announcement that Quinby stands
ready to step down and out rather sim
plifies the situation, but many of Quin-
by's friends believe II would be a good
thing for the varsity nine If Quinby con-
tinues as coach with all the powers he
thinks necessary to make the work Of a
coach tell.
The captain-elect. Arthur Milburn. is
popular with the players and Is rated as
first-class player who will not stand
for lack of unity in any department osIr
which he has Jurisdiction. 1t was stated
today that Milburn would be very much
pleased with the selection Of Bernie
Tommers as head coach for the nine.
He has been coaching the pitching de-
partment for a couple of seasons.

the Detroit Tigers the Nationals will hit
the trail for Boston, where three games
are to be played. From the Hub the
Griffmen travel West, meeting all of the
Western clubs for the final fling around
that portion of the circuit.
1t may be significant to note that
Washington starts this trip in Boston on
Friday, the 18th. a day which many con-
slider unlucky, but possibly the Red Sox
will be the victims this time.
The Griffmen only play fourteen games
on this entire trip. as there are no post
poned games either in the West or in
Boston, and the local club returns to
Washington before the month of August
expires, meeting the New York Yankees
here on the 31st in the opening clash of
a five-game series.
Washington has only to maintain its
present fast pace to keep within strik-
ing distance of the league leaders right
down to the home stretch, and with a
few breaks in luck to help bring about
a squirt the Nationals should have some
thing to say about winning the pennant,
