MURRAY JOINS WESTERN TEAM
 FOR TENNIS CUP

New York, July S1-The announce ment that Robert Lndley Murray, the national indoor tennis champion, will play with the Pacific Coast team in the West vs. East matches at the West Side Tennis club next Friday and Saturday came as big surprise to followers of the game throughout the country.
 Although Murray is a native son, his home being in Palo Alto, he has been living in Rayonne for almost a year and intends making his perma- nent residence in the East. The fact that Murray had not been in this sec tion for year made him ineligible to play on the Eastern team, and it was on his own request and that of the Pacific Coast association that he was granted permission to play.
 The stands at the West Side clubs are in readiness to seat 1000 persons and the courts on which the intersee- tional matches will be played are in perfect conditioni With Murray talk ing the place of Mclaughlin. Who could not get East in time, the chances of the Western team look better.

SCHULTZ GAVE WARNING TO.MAN WHO RISKED
 HIS LIFE MANY TIMES

Frank Schulte is one of those quiet opponents of the unexpected Con and off) who keep up the interest.
 Ono day the Cubs had day off in Buffalo and were engaged in looking over Niagara Falls. The players were on trolley car on the Canadian side to take the Gorge trip. Suddenly battered, much beaten up, wiry-look- ing individual leaped upon the run- ming booard of the car.
 "On such and such a day." he said, "I went over the Horseshoe Falls in barrel. The rock near the centre shows where I took the plunge" ' A moment later he broke loose again. "
 "In the rapids below, near the bridge, is where was taken from the barrel" .'A A
 Every half mile or so he pointed out some spot where he had risked his life. Schulte had not said word. Suddenly he slid over to the end of the seat and remarked confidentially: Say, old boy, you'd better get in off the running board; you might fall off and get killed"

BOB UNGLAUB's
 35TH BIRTHDAY

or Bob Unglaub, who of late years has been a manager in the Northern League and who annexed the penrant of that international circuit with his Fargo -Moorehead aggregation last year, was born in Baltimore thirty five years ago today. Unglaub's dia- mond career has been of a most varie- gated character. In the late '90s he was a backstop for the University of Maryland, playing under the name of Alexander. In 1900 he broke into the professional ranks with Meriden. Conn.,, and alternated at third and be- hind the bat swatting at a .s21 gait. The next season he started with Wor- cester. but he had a rookus with the management and jumped to Sacra- mento in the California League, where he played first and shortstop. In 1903 he appeared in Milwaukee uniform, covering first and third, and batting 1904. He was drafted by the Red Sox. turned over to the Yankees and swapped back again in the course of a few weeks but in 1906 he jumped the Johnson circuit and played with Wil- Transport in the Tri-State. Repenting. he returned to the Red Sox in 1907. and was the regular first basernan un-' til sold to Washington in 1908. He stuck with the Senators in>-1909 and 1910, but in 1911 he was let cut of the big show and began his manager ial career at the Lincoln helm. Since then he has managed the Minneapolis and Fargo-Moorehead clubs in the Northern, batting well over 300 in 1914 and 1915. .N

SCHULTZ GOES IN
 TRADE TO PIRATES

New York, July 31.-Frank Schulte. veteran outfielder of the Cubs and one of the few members of Frank Chances famous machine still in service. has played his last game for Chicago. He has been traded to the Pirates along with Bill" Fischer, a catcher and one time members of the. Robins, for Arthur Wilson, formerly catcher for the Giants.
 The exchange will materially strengthen both clubs, where they have been weakest. Rendered desper- ate by the breakdowns of his catching department, due to the injury to Jimmy Archer, Tinker sought a seasoned catcher from every club in the National league, but none would talk business except the Pirates. Cal lahan was greatly in need of an ex- perienceds outflelder who could hit.
 In Frank Schulte the Buccos will get just the kind of player they re- Quire, and in Wilson the Cubs will cib- tain not only a capable catcher but a hard and consistent batter. Fischer, although not so good a batter as Will son. is very efficient maskman. He will be worked regularly with the Pi- rates and ought to improve rapidly with experience.

SHOW AT WALNUT !. BEACH BIG FROST AND HOOTERS ROAR

Those sharks that have been doing have been broken into the boxing game. Some kind of sharks ran that show at Walnut Beach Saturday whefe the faithful fans were given a bad bargain. The show was the worst within the memory of the oldest inhabitant and even Sam Howard has been around trying to deny he was responsible.
 In the first bout, which was SUD- posed to be for 15 rounds between Johnny Howard of Bayonne and Bud Connors, the latter, after wobbling and a half, during which he twice took occasion to lay down, deemed he had stopped enough of Howard s blows after receiving one on the nose, so he again sought repose on the turf, which took the place of canvas in the ring.
 Next Young McAuliffe came on with Danny Coulon. from the West, as one of the numerous announcers stated. By that he evidently meant the west end of Harrison park for many of the beach residents greeted Coulon as Hickey" He disliked Mo Auliffe's attitude toward him and quit in the second round when Mac swung one as Coulon was falling to his knees.
 As the windup of the fiasco, Jim Barry, big enough to destroy a flock of "dtnges," stumbled about the ring for seven rounds with Sailor Jack Carroll until Chief James B. Maher stopped the comedy when Carroll re- ceived a cut over the left eye and a K, O, looked certain.
 No ring was provided for the fights and a mixture of dirt and sawdust was used for canvas. The 400 per- sons in the casino who were forced to part with their good money to witness the hukes were caught for pineapples Terry Lee, who was billed to referee the bouts, refused to act after the first stanza of the opening burlesaue when he saw how the fans were being bunceed.
 According te Chief Maher, Milford has been caught for the last time by any unknown promoter whe comes in and buncoes the fans.

REM-ARMS PLAY
 COLONIAL BUNCH
 TIE IN I5 INNINGS

New Haven, July 31-The Colonials and Remington Arms Co. nine of Bridgeport fought 15 innings on the Lighthouse Point ground yesterday afternoon, darkness putting an end to the record contest of the season af- ter both teams scored twice. The game was desperately fought from kickoff to curfew. both teams playing a brand of baseball that has not been excelled on the east shore this sea- son. Every possible play that goes to make up a good contest was jam med into the fray and the 2.000 or more spectators who sat through the struggle were all satisfied.
 Pete" Wilson, the ex-leaguer, and Eddie Mahan,/of Harvard fame, did the pitching for their respective clubs. Both went the entire route and there was little to choose between them when the battle was over. Mahan showed signs of ,wavering when the game had passed the regulation route but pluckily continued in spite of a sore arm. Each club gathered nine bases.
 SHdTAc HOtu, WHO IldS Uoou ing games in this section for several years past, held forth at the Light yesterday. His decisions were abso- lutely rank, He spoiled the Rem ington's chances of victory by blum der in the sixth inning that eventual ly put the game into overtime. There is no doubt but what he gummed up plays on both sides but he never gave tn evisitors the benefit of break. The game should have been over in the ninth with Colonials hugging the short end of to score.
 It was in the sixth that Roth did his deadly work. Gaffney was pass ed. Sherwood beat out bunt. Hal stein laid down another bunt and Gaffney was standing on third base when Mahan hurled the ball to Han Ion for force-out. There was no play, as they say in baseball parlance, but Roth waved the runner out amid the vigorous protests of the entire Remington crowd. Elceck then broke through with a hit and Sherwood scored with what should have been the winning run.
 The Remingtons scored their other run in the second when Charley Brickley misjudged Edwards hit and the drive went for three bases. The visiting rightfie1der scored while Duggan was tossing out Dellhaunt at first.

STYLES CHANGING : IN. MAJOR LEAGUE
 BtCN.T NOW

Now York, July 31-Fashions change in baseball to no less de- gree than in dress, and it would seem that the day of the big, bulky catcher, whose chief asset is his ability to sand up back of the plate and defy . pitcher toi Rock him down. is past and sonG TsBsyears ago it vas quite the thing. a2of scotfts to SCOUT the minor league for giants whoawore the mask and glove and recommend them Ito the major league clubs. In some Einstances these men were so slow that they hardly could run to the. stand to get foul fly, but as long as they could catch and throw they were re- tained-
 The catchers who are coming into lltf1e major sleagues today are. of diff lferent type. In the majority of cases I they dGfe trim1y built, speedy men l who. while strong and sturdy, are agile enough to answer ,tha demands made upon them, Ray schalk, the wonder maskman of the Chicago White Sox, stands forth as one of the greatest catchers in the big leagues today, and he is perhaps the smallest aof all. Indeed, it was Schalk who so completely shattered illusion that in order to succeed catcher had to be big.
 When Schalk came up from the Milwaukee club three years ago, he found himself in with lot of giants.
 He was only boy. short in stature. slight in physique, and the critics ,howled incredulously. This boy would never do. But he did just the same. Schalk was fired with a spirit that carried him beyond any physical lhandicap. and on until he has won his 'iplace with the best in the game. Still, iSchalk was bigger when he came into the American League and is bigger today than Charley Dooin, who served
 some IS years in the National League, ever was. When Dooin came up he weighed 13O pounds, and all through
 his career never rose above the 155
 pohnd mark.
 Bill Rariden, first string catcher of the Giants, Is another of the trimly built catchers, now so popular. The iHoosier star had his start with the Boston Braves several years ago, but 1t is only in the last couple of years that he really came into prominence. tBfll is fast man, as catchers. go, and lcan develop quite a bit of speed in
 getting around the paths. Jimmy
 Archer. of the Cubs. is another such man, and surely there is none in the lndaJor leagues better. This list could be extended to include Baker, lthe young catcher of the Tigers; Mike .Gon5a1es, sthertail, s1anky receiver of the ,Cardinais, and several others.
 Brooklyn is well supplied with the ,big catchers. Chief Meyers, Lew Mo- lCarty and Otto Miller round out a trio Iof big, brawny men. None of them is Ia hier in any sense of the word, and lMcCarty is the most nimble of the three. Frank Snyder, of the Cardi- inhls, Is a big man. but he is fast and active. George Gibson, the iron man of the Pirates, is one of the oldest of the dreadnought type Gibson was a great Teatchzr. fsimighty good to this day. butchb never was fast. On the whole, the type of catcher is chang ing, and the good little man is receiv- ing equal consideration with the big
 man.

TO SELL NEW HAVEN.

Owner Collins of the New Haven club has dropped most of his bank roll this summer and is anxious to get out of baseball while he has coat and vest left. It is said Collins is about $6,000 behind. He made the mistake when he first entered the league of thinking he could make a showing with semi-pro players. His club at the beginning of the race was a joke and the fans became so dis gusted that they lost interest in the club by the time it had been strength ened.
 The Boston Red Sox finally got into first place in the American League race. They managed to beat Detroit yesterday while the Yankees were dropping two in St. Louis. The Sox pitchers are going fine and Carrigan's men will be hard to beat from now on. The Chicago White Sox are winning steadily, however, and as they have four more. games in two days with the Athletics are likely to take first posi- ton from Boston for time at least.
 Manager Healy of the Bridgeport club is thinking of making a change in his pitching staff. He thinks five twirlers is too many but as every other club carries the same number Healy may regret his action if he re- duces the number. Tillman and Turner have not shown much lately and either may go. All preparations are completed for Boosters Day next Saturday when the leading Portland club will play at Newfield.

HOUSE AND MARTY
 WALSH DO GREAT
 FEATS OF PITCHING
(By Wagner)


 At 5:4O yesterday afternoon Manag- CT Jack Flynn of Springfield was about as pleasant as a hornets nest. His club had just lost a double bill to Bridgeport, and the fans had been riding him all afternoon. When he struck out they said You're hitting natural now" and when he made a hit they assured him it was an ac- cident. And then some sharp eyed bleacherite noting the brush on Flynn's face, yelled, "Get a lawn mower and get a shave, Flynn,
 The 2,000 rooters who turned out had a fine party for Bridgeport played gingery ball in both contests. They had an easy time winning the first by to but the second was a hum mer which was decided in the eighth by 2 to 1 count. Those two battle scared veterans, Jake Warner and Joe Briggs, made Springfield miser- able. The old boys slugged hard all afternoon, each getting five hits. Their blows were timely, too. In ad- dition they contributed some great fielding.
 Marty Walsh, who officiated in the opener, ree1ed off his sixth straight victory. The big fellow was never in trouble after the first stanza and but for an error by Horkheimer would have held the Green Sox to one run. Daniels. the Springfield boxman, was larruped freely and the home boys had a knack of inserting hits was passes.
 The visitors worried the locals un- til the fifth for at that time Bridge port was ahead by the slender maf- gin of 3 to 2. Then with one out Baker walked and was safe at second when Hammond. dropped a throw to force him. Hits by Briggs and Hork- heimer and an infield out gave' three runs and victory. The score:-

the second game went back almost to the fence to pull down Hammond's smash. Blake made the fans roar with delight when he raced to the horse gate and got under Flynn's liner in the first battle
 Horkheimer picked up little in batting in. the last four games. He made two hits in Lynn Saturday and had one in each contest yesterday.
 Bridgeport managed to get an even break in Lynn. Mulrennan won the first by to 8, pitching against Waite Hoyt the IT year old finger of the Giants. In the second Turner and Mllman tried their luck against Tuero, the Cuban, and lost by to g..
 One of the fielding gems of yester- days double heador was contributed by Jake Warner. When Spires jolt ed one through U box in the second game, Jake dashed over, scooped the ball as it was bounding over second and got Spires by step.
 Smoky Joe Wood offered Owner Lannin of the Red Sox $1O,0O0' for his release but was refused Wood wants two year contract but Lam min can't see it. He is willing to pay Wood for the balance of the season on the terms of his former $7,500 con- tract. So the meeting in Cleveland came to nothing.
