GREAT CROWDS WATCH
BROOKLYN TEAM PLAY
Fans Are Wild Because of Splendid
Showing of the
Dodgers.
BROOKLY,

BROOKLYN. July 13.-More than
So, 900 fans saw the Dodgers play cham
pionship ball at Ebbets Field last week.
The paid attendance Monday was
1900, Tuesday 100. Wednesday, 5000,
Friday, $500 and Saturday $4,000.
These figures, which broke the record
in Flatbush, prove that Brooklyn fans
have gone base bail crazy. incidentally,
the weeks business netted almost
10000 for Ebbets and the Mckeevers,
who, a month ago. expected to lose
some money on the season. If the
Dodgers keep up their phenomenal
playing, therefore, for the rest of the
campaign, the Brooklyn club will enjoy
large profits.
Fifteen years ago Brooklyn had a
championship team under the manage
ment Of Edward Hanlon, but the fans
have not had much of a chance to
enthuse since those glorious days, eX-
cept in 1913, when the Dodgers. up to
July 4. ran neck and neck with the
Phillies for the leadership. The Brook
lyn club cleared $4,000 that season,
but last year Ebbets and the Mckee
vers sustained heavy losses. due to in
ternal disSension among their players,
who were tempered with by the Fed
eral League.

LEAGUE MAY DISBAND.
Colonial, Feds Minor Circuit, Said
to Be in Bad Shane.

HARTFORD, July 13.-The Colonial
League, subsidiary of the Federal cir
cult. seems once more threatened with
dissolution. Only six of the eight teams
were ready to continue the struggle yes
terday afternoon. Fall River and Taunton
have both thrown up the sponge, and no
effort will be made to provide substitutes.
The minor Independent circuit has de-
cided to continue to operate as a six

have followed the fortunes of this venture
believe, however. that it will be but a
short time before the enterprise suspends
business altogether.

BY II, C. BYRD,

The splendid offensive work of two
players. Derrick and Strait, gave Agri-
culture a victory over Treasury in the
Departmental League in the most I'M
portant contest of the second series.
Both men did effective work with their
sticks at times when hits were needed,
and scored two runs each. Derrick
went to bat four times and clouted out
two drives for two bases, while Strait
was at the plate the same number OF
times aand connected with the ball
for a two-bagger and two singles.
Strait also stole two bases. Strait
batted third and Derrick fourth, max
ing the changed order of the Aggies
look mighty good.
Agriculture was on the short end of
to / score for the first three in
nings, but the last half of the fourth
proved the big event. When the dust
had cleared away after that period
seven of the Aggies had crossed the
plate and a lead thereby obtained
which made the contest fairly easy for
them.
Downey, who held down the right
field position for Treasury. proved the
star batter. On neither of the five oc-
casions Downey went to bat did he
ritory. Five hits out of five attempts
is a record which would grace the
efforts of any player. The best fielding
record goes to Lemeric, who did some
fine work at short for Agriculture.
The result Of the contest keeps Agri-
culture in the lead in the second half
of the season. and practically does away
with Treasurys chances.
St Paul took the measure of the

Pitcher Dumont Is Put Through.

If he is not ready. having an injured
finger, Joe Engel. who only worked 4
few innings Sunday, may be sent in to
face the Browns, team against which
he always has shown we'll.
BY their victory yesterday the Ma
tionals managed to win the majority OF
the games with the White Sox to date.
Early in the season they hoke even
here with the leaders of the race, each
side winning two.
When the Sox came to Washington,
the Nationals beat them two out of
three and this series just closed has
broken even. each side winning two. A
time game also was played. The Gritf-
men seem to be able to hit the SoX
pitchers much better than any other
twirlers and this accounts for their
showing against the team which now
is leading by a narrow margin.
Howard Shanks continues to hit
most timely. 1t was his hit in the fifth
which started Russell on the down hill
and the pitcher had to be taken out of
the game before the inning was over.
though up to that time he had been
fairly effective.
The paid attendance yesterday was
more than 5000. and added quite pile
to the Nationals share of the receipts
here, which undoubtedly were the best
of any series the team has played this
season.
1t is going to be great race in the
American League this season. Just now
it is confined to Chicago. Boston and
Detroit, but it would not be at all sur
prising if some of the other teams
moved up in the race by and by. New
York is going along steadily. and the
Nationals may regain their best form
and win majority of their games
hereafter in which event they. too, may
make a bid for a first division berth.
Philadelphia is playing good ball, and
would be a factor if Mack's pitchers
would get down to real business. Bos-
ton and Detroit both seem to be weak
on pitchers. and the White Sox are
none too strong in this respect. SO there
is not going to be an easy time picking
the team which eventually will land
on top. If Jennings had the pitchers
it probably would be a walk-over for
the Tigers, but in a way that also is
true of Boston.
That showing of the Red SoX pitchers
against the Nationals was nothing but
a f1uke. In every one of the six games
which the Nationals lost they hit the
ball hard, but were unfortunate in not
getting it safe. Now that the SoX are
not having the breaks. their pitchers
are being pulveriZed.

Own Business.
FEDS ARE NOT DISCUSSED

NEW YORK, July 13.-The National
League held a special meeting yester-
day at it's headquarters here and de-
cided to continue the twenty one player
rule which is now in force. During
the greater part of the session. which
lasted more than five hours, this rule
was discussed by the club presidents.
all of whom were in attendance.
No player under suspension will be
included in the list of "disab led play
ers," for whom other players can be
substituted, but the rule has been made
sufficiently elastic to enable club not
to be crippled in playing strength
through any of it's team members be-
ing injured or rendered useless from
playing up to standard through ILL
ness.
A suspended player must be counted
F, in the twenty-one limit, and the only
recourse for club in such case is to
appeal to the national commission for
his reinstatement The case of Larry
Mclean of the New York Giants was
discussed in connection with this rule.
New Rule Adopted.
! The new rule governing the transfer
of players to the disa bled list is as fol-
| lows:
Request to have a players name
transferred from the active to the dis
abled' list shall be certified to the
president of the league by the president
| of the employing club within forty
eight hours after injury occurs, and
such request shall state the nature of
/ the players disability and when and
where incurred.
| "A player placed on the disabled list
will not be allowed to participate as a
player in a championship game for at
/ least ten consecutive days, including
the day of his injury.e During such pc
Rod, however, the player will be al
| lowed to act as a coacher.
THE names of all players certified
as disabled shall be officially bulle-
tined to the club presidents"
Barney Dreyfuss, president of the
| Pittsburgh club, brought to the atten-
| ton of the meeting his claim on the
services of George Sisler. pitcher of the
| University of Michigan. this spring, and
now playing with the St Louis Ameri-
| can League club 1t was the sense of
those present. however, that as the
| Pittsburgh clubs case was in the hands
| of the national COMM SSlon no action
could be taken.
After the session President Tener said
that it was the first of regular monthly
meetings or conferences of the league,
which at his suggestion would be held
until the end of the playing season. He
| considered that such meetings were
,, necessary for an interchange of ideas
| and the discussion of affairs in general
| for the welfare of the league, just as
| in other big business enterprises.
| These meetings are to be called by
| the president and while some of them
| may be held when the eastern clubs
are on the western circuit. most of
i them will take place here, where the
