Steve Evans Couldn't See Slow Runner on
 Way to Second Base
Sporting News)

It was very easy for aggressive and high-strung Johnny Evers to get peev- ed when Bill Byron called him out on strikes and accompanied the ruling with a song. solo. It it tough to be called out on pitches, but when the umpire sings the decision in a verse and chorus, there is small wonder that Evers said something which caused him to apologize to MT. Tener. How ever, picturesque characters like Bly, ron, Germany Schaefer, Nick Altrock game and Byron should be permitted to sing as often as he wishes.
 While mentioning the comedian Steve Evans it is timely to recite a humorous incident in which Evans was the central figure in Toledo the other day. Steve has been playing for Roger Bresnahan and recently he was given a whirl at second base One of the opposition who is said to be the slowest man in the league, hit almost to the fence and got single. On the first pitch to the next batter. the catcher threw the ball hurriedly to Steve >at second.
 What are you throwing down here for?" shouted Steve as he caught the ball.
 Why he's trying to steal" exclaim- ed the surprised catcher.
 "He might be trying to steal," an- swered Evans, "but he's not in sight yet"

THIN STEAKS WAS CAUSE OF SALLEE
 LEAVING ST. LOUIS

According to a Chicago baseball writer it was a difference in thick ness of steaks under the American vs European plan that caused Harry Sallee's recent "retirement'' from from baseball. This is how the Chi- cago scribbler tells it:
 The Cubs and Cardinals foregath- cred in the same New York hotel. That was a short time ago. while the Cubs were playing the Giants and the Cardinals were battling the Dodgers.
 The Cubs ordered from the a la carte bill of fare. where the steaks are juicy and thick. The Cardinals. liv- ing at the same hotel, were on the American plan. where the steaks are not large /and juicy.
 Sallee ordered a steak one evening. so did Claude Hendrix. the Cub pitcher. Sars steak was e silver; Claude's was thick and juicy. Jmme- diately Slim hunted up Manager Mil- Ter Huggins.
 "Ain't I as good a pitcher as those fellows from Chicago?" he demanded of Huggins.
 "As good?- Why, you're far better than any of them." answered Hug; gins. 4
 Then why do they get thicker steaks" Saliee asked. Rules is rules" answered Hug gins, whereupon a row started that resulted in Sallee quitting the Car i dinals.

WANT 2l PLAYER :. LIMIT CHANGED IN
 .I,NATI0NAL LEAGUE

New York, July 26-On the grounds that the National League twenty-one AplAyer- limit rule gives the American League representatives in the worlds series an unfair advantage, Charles H. Ebbets, president of the Brooklyn Baseball club. has written to Presi- dent Tener of the National League, ! recommending that section 32 of the f National League constitution be !amended SO as to allow the National League clubs to carry thirty-five play iers after August 20, the same as in the American League.
 {. Ebbets has presented the amend sment to President Tener, requesting the chief executive to immediately submit it to the members of the Ma tional League to vote upon.
 That Ebbets is right in his conten- ton that the twenty sone player limit lrule in the National League places the National League representatives in the worlds series at a disadvan- tage, considering the American League clubs are allowed to carry ! thirty-five players, is plain, but it will come as surprise to many that Eb- bets is sponsor of the proposed amend ment Ebbets was one of the most ar Ident supporters of the twenty zone player limit and his change of atti- tude by many may be attributed to his confidence that the Brooklyn club will win the National League pennant and thus be participant in the worlds series.
 President Ebbets, however, says that his reason for favoring the twen- ty-one player limit only was in line with the retrenchment policy necessi- tated by the war with the Federal League. With conditions normal again the necessity of a twenty-one player limit is done away with, while the advantages of increasing the limit to thirty-five players becomes appar- ent, considering the hanadicap the twenty-one player limit places the Ma tional League entry in the worlds ser les. The abolishing of the twenty one player limit rule in the National League will give the National League pennant winning club the same chance to strengthen itself and fortify against accidents as the American League entry will enjoy.

ANNIVERSARIES
 z OF RING BATTLES

1901-Young Corbett defeated Kid Broad in 10 rounds at.Denver. It was this victory that won ifor Young Cor bett the right to meet Terry McGovern in the memorable battle. at Hartford a few months later, when the Denyerite knocked out the Brooklyn terror in 2 rounds and became the worlds featherweight champion. This was the second meeting between Corbett and Broad that year. In the first en- gagement Broad put the Denverite to sleep in the 4th round, greatly to the disappointment of the Colorado fans, who believed that. their hero was in- vincfble. Corbett demanded another chance, and the Cornishman granted 1t, with the result that Corbett won a clear victory. After that it was up to Terry McGovern to accept the west erner's challenge, and the result was the greatest upset of the dope in ring history Broad, like Fitzsimmons, was n Cornishrnan. and for years he was prominent as a featherweight and lightweight.

CALDWELL VERY ! BAD AND YANKEES

Chicago, July 26.-The White Sox scored in droves against the Yankees yesterday, beat them 13 to 8, and the prodigality with which the winners rolled over the plate was a matter d. most entirely of Ray Caldwell.
 On their way here from New York to begin their second Western dight the Yankees turned up another crie- pie. Lee Magee tried to slide to a base in mere exhibition game, twiSt- ed his ankle and joined the innumer- able caravan of Yankee injured. How ever no quantity of sound men could have won for the Tanks the way Slim Caldwell pitched.

New York. July 2e-Hosts of Friends of Christy Mathewson, the greatest favorite New York baseball fans ever had. were keenly disap- pointed yesterday when rain prevent ed Matty's debut at the Polo Grounds as manager of the Cincinnati Reds.

 "It was no easy thing" said Matty yesterday, flor me o'leave all my old |, friends on the Giants and sever con pections with Manager McGraw and tPresident Hempstead. I realized, however. that my pitching days were over and have been associated with the game so long now that do not cap% to leave 1t. I have always thought that when my active days as player were over I would like to try my hand as a big league manager.
 "It is too early yet to say any thing about the possibilities. of the Cincinnati club. But. from my brief experience I know tfAt I am going to like it, and I know the Reds will play the best ball they are capable \of during the rest of the season. We are willing to start at the bottom and build up all over again and, of course. that will take some time. It will require lot of patience and hard work, I know, but I am confi- 1 dent that we shall show results. The boys are willing to do their best for me, and what manager could ask more ?"

It was announced yesterday that Ray Heating of this city will be re- leased to some minor league club as soon as arrangements can be made by the New York Americans. The fact that waivers had been asked on Heating was announced exclusively in these columns last week. Manager Donovan has been trying to induce Toronto to take Heating and Pitcher Markle in exchange for Urban Shock CT, a Yankee farm hand who has been going at wonderful clip for Toronto. He has twirled 13 victories and two defeats. The Tanks are also trying to recall Outfielder Miller, sent to Richmond last spring. The Rich mond club still has a chance for the flag and Manager Dunn hates to let Miller go. According to last reports he was still refusing to part with the player but he will probably listen to reason. N
 The New York Sun has the follow ing report of Keating's case:
 Heating and Markle have been dis appointments. Heating has talked it into himself that he cannot win at
  asked him to take the mound last Thursday he begged to be excused un- til the club went on the road. Ray was excused from going with the team. It will be remembered that Frank Farrell paid something like s11 900 to the Lawrence club of the New England league for Keating.'
 Bobby Stow, the former Bridgeport shortstop, is doing great work for Fort Worth of the Texas league. He is lead off man in the batting order. In recent\14 inning game Stow made three hits and stole three bases. Fort Worth is second, only one game be- hind the leadeSs.

GRIFFIN DEFEATS
 FELL IN STIRRING
 MATCH AT TENNIS

Boston, July 26.-The California ten his web entangled another eastern star in the Longwood singles yester- day, Theodore Roosevelt Pell, fifth in the national ranking being vanquish- ed by Clarence J. Griffin of San Fran cisco in straight sets by 6-1, 6l, 9-7. The famous back-hand eXpon- ent was no match for his Coast rival, who played the same superlative ten- his which brought him a victory over R. Norris Williams, 2d, yesterday. His achievement in defeating two such leading lights of the game in straight sets has raised Griffin to high status in the estimation of those who have been watching the play in the early rounds.
 In eliminating Pell from the tour nament Griffin played at the top of his game. Crafty and resourceful, he held the New Yorker at his mercy in the first two sets ,and, though he was forced to a harder battle in the third, he still lad the reserve to pull a deuce set out oSIhe fire. The Californian's S game fell off bit in this last set af- ter he had gained a lead of Al. Up to this time his carefully judged place. ments had kept Pell in difficulties, but now Griffin, with the end in sight, be- came a bit unsteady. Errors piled up against him and helped Pell to bring the set to deuce and>even to the van- taee game, but Griffin was able to re- cover control of his shots in time to place the set to his credit.
 Among the other well known play CTS who advanced to the fourth round are Watson M. Washburn, Craig Bid- dle, William M. Johnston, and Roland Roberts. in the upper half, and in the lower half, with Griffin, are Joseph J. Armstrong, his next opponent, and Ichiya Kumagae of Tokio, three times victor over the Californian.
