ERIK MAYER TO HURL
FOR PILLS AGAINST
CUBS in SECOND FRAY
Cheney or Lavender Bres-
nahan's G h o ic e for
Mound-Hard Luck Loss
Charged Up. to Alex De-
spite Great Pitching.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-Erskine Mayer Is
due to face the Cubs this afternoon, and
II the side arm artist is as good as he
has been in his last three games. the local
sluggers are likely to have another day
when the batting averages shrink.
Yesterday Alexander pitcher wonder
ful game only to have victory booted
away when George Whltted permitted
Zimmerman's single TO roll through his
legs to the clubhouse. Heinie had no
trouble making the circuit of the bases
and this 10th inning miscue gave the Cubs
lucky victory. The only other tally off
Alexander was Williams home run drive
into the right field bleachers. Alexander
had Williams at his mercy barring this
one drive, and tt may have been more
luck than good judgment that he CON
nected with the ball for his home run.
1t was a tough game for the Phillles
to lose. but Moran's team does not ap-
pear to take defeats to heart to such an
extent that they allow it to interfere
with their next game.
Manager Bresnahan has not decided
on his pitcher for today, but chances
favor Larry Cheney. who was batted
out of the box by the Giants on Saturday,
or Jimmy Lnvander. Cheney Is generally
effective against the Phillies and is there
fore the fayorite for mound duty today.
In his last start against the Phillies
Cheney broke the winning streak of Al
exander in Philadelphia. and Bresnahan
hopes to see him repeat today.

sters to Be Seen in Line
up This Week.

Manager Mack viii send Tom sheehhn

afternoon. II is likely one or two OF
Mhck's other recruits will get q chance
to perform this week, AZ beveral OF them

ing workouts. This list includes Majors,
Filtingim, Bankston. Pepper Cone and
Hesslebacher. Ali these except Ba1kston
are pitchers.
Chances favor While Mitchell pitching
for Cleveland today. although the star
southpaw has not been In good trim OF
late. In case Mitchell does not look
good to Manager Fohl, either Sam Jones
or Walker. recruits, will get n chance.
Fohl made a great reputation in the
minor league as a developer of pitchers
,and he has apparently accomplished quite
a lot with the Indians stan. Morton,
Walker, Harstadt and Jones are all
youngsters who have shown great I'M
provement lately, and II the owners give
him enough time, Fohl is likely to de-
velop a powerful pitching staff in Cleve-
land.
With good mound work a manager gem
orally has but little trouble constructing
winning team. ana the new Cleveland
leader is working on the right lines. The
work of Harstadt on Saturday was a dis
tinct surprise, as the youngster had been
started In but one game previous to that
AGAINST the Mackmen.

SARATOGA TRACK
OPENS FOR MEET
Twenty-four Days of Racing at
Spa - Many Noted Horses
Entered.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-The meeting Of
the Saratoga Racing Association. which
Is scheduled to open today, and which will
continue for "a days, will in many re-
spects be the most notable of the year.
Racing at the Springs has always been
characterized by the presence of a large
number of patrons who by their pres
ence gave encouragement to a sport
which has held sway over the populace
to greater degree and for a longer
period than any other outdoor pastime.
Many OF this leisure-lovlng class which
had found the charms of Newport, Mar
ragansett, and the other resorts more at
tractive during the last few years have
once more turned to racing. and the
town, with almost all its available ac-
commodations taken, promises to be
Eayer than since the days when the late
William C. Whitney controlled the des-
tinies of the sport at this point.
President Richard T. Wilson, Vice
President Harry Payne Whitney. secre-
tary-Treasurer Andrew Miller, Schuyler
L. Parsons, Thomas Hitchcock Francis
r. Hitchcock and others prominent in
the management or directorate of the
for several days, and they are a unit
in the belief that the meeting which opens
today will be a noteworthy success.
Others prominent in racing are scheduled
to arrive today, among the most notable
being August Belmont, O. X. G. Billings,
j. u. Widener John Sanford and Fred
erlek johnson, all of whose colors will be
seen during the meeting.
There are more and better horses at the
track than have been seen on any course
within the confines of the Empire State
in years, and 1t is happy omen that the
heetest horses OF East and West should
meet on common ground dedicated to the
cause of the improvement of the breed
of horses" that heing a portion of the
title of the Saratoga Association.
