.EDMONDSON, 1913 . WATERBURY STAR,
 JOINS CLEVELAND

The Cleveland American league club has announced that it has exercised it's option on Ed Edmondson, the for mer Waterbury first basenan and out fielder EdmondSon is playing with the New Orleans club of the Southern association and will likely be given a chance by the Indians next spring. He has been a member of clubs in the Sorners system for three years and has been steadily improving.
 In 1913 EdInondson had the honor of being the first Eastern association player to go us to the big show with the Cleveland Indians. The purchase price was said to have been $3,000 and it was the biggest price obtained by a Waterbury baseball team for one of it's players in years. Sam Kennedy who piloted the Waterbury club that year, discovered him in Kentucky and while he donned a Brass City uniform he ai- ways hit for over the 300 mark, and was also regarded as the most danger ous hitter in the league.
 Edmondson is g years old. He bats Ieft-handed and hit the ball hard to all corners of the lot. He played first base for Waterbury the first of the season, but when tAoey was traded to Meriden, from which club he was re- leased and signed by Hartford Man ager Kennedy decided to put him inso the outfeld and placed Chief Miller, the former Hartford first baseman, on the first sack.
 The following year he was sent by the Cleveland club to the New Orleans club of the Southern aseociatio from where he went to Beaumont club or the Texas league.

SIX HITS IN

 GEO. CUTSHAW

Chicago, H., Aug. 10-Prominent among the high lights in the com plete rout of the Cubs yesterday was the hitting extraordinary of George Cut shaw, the Brooklyn second baseman Parading to the plate six times in the most, one-sided and farcica1 baseball exhibition staged this season on the West Side grounds, the little odger got six consecutive singles, equaling the world record established by CIar- ence Beaumont, former Pirate and Cub July 22. 1899, in Pittsburgh Cut shaw scored two runs, drove in an- other and stole one base in the pas time which ended IS to 0
 Just by way of getting revenge on Bresna:han's men for a 1acing the West Siders accorded them in Brook lyn early in the season when the Cubs won 19 to 4, the visitors gathered 2i3 hits for ., total of 27 bases, pounding the offerings of G. Philbert Pierce and Pete Standridge. Eight of these drives were assembled during Pierce's shve-inaing sojourn, whic h was marred by glaring blunders by Zimmerman and Phelan.
 s~ Continuing their slugging when sStandridge ascendedz the peak, Robin son's troops cleaned the Coast rookie, hitting his fork ball delivery for 1 5 solid srnashes in the last four inn ings.

MUNICIPAL BASEBALL
 FOR CITY IN MICHIGAN

Some novel ideas are being advane-. ed in connection with the reorganfza- ton of the South Michigan Baseball Lea que for 1916. One plan calls for $2,50O Appropriation for each city represented. together with the assur- ance that at least 100 tickets at $5 each will be sold before the club signs it's players for the season. In return the club agrees to play free baseball every day in the week except Satur- days and Sundays, when a nominal admission charge will be, made.
 Municipal parks and piers are not new, but baseball under practically vanced, to say the least. It may, however, be but ahe forerunner of government ownership of the ibg leagues.

#CLEVEI.ANDs TIE WITH
 TANKS AS RAIN FALLS

New York, Aug. 1o-'tSlim" Ray Caldwell, wild BilR' Donovan's one best bet, and Willie Mitchell, the star portside finger of the much abused Cleveland Indians. were engaged in a nifty hurling duel at the Polo Grounds yesterday when along came a thunder storm and away went the old ball game. The rain descended in the last half of the sixth inning .4 The opening skirmish between the ranks and the Indians ended with the score of 1 1 to 1, with a double-header to be played this afternoon.
 In the matter of hits Caldwell had trife the better of his sonthpaw rival Ray allowed the troupe from Cleveland only three solid blows, while our boys nicked Mitchel1sfor one more than Slim allowed.
 But one of the blows that Slim al lowed was a mighty drive into the right field grandstand by Jay Krke in the second inning. The other two hits were infeId :bing1es that Willie, the Indians new outfeIder, made in the third and in the fifth innings.

 Mclaughlin. defeated Lyle E. Ma han of the West Side Tennis Club. 6-4, 6-1. with the respective point totals at 76 to 55. The west sider partly surpassed himself. His six feet three inches of height made it possi- b1e for him to reach up and smash into the lobbs of the California. Like wise Mahan often proved that his op- ponent. even though rated as the greatest in the wor1dS could be trick ed out of position.
