GIANTS HOPING TO
 GRAB PENNANT BY FAST BASERUNNING

New York, Aug 2-If the Giants have an outside chance ct the pen nant, it is going to be through des- perate base-running. It is significant that during the past week the troupe of McGraw has taken more chances on the bases than at any other time thls season.
 What was the result To date, the result has. been six games straight. Since the coming of Charley 'Herzos, who unquestionably, through his in itiative, has added new life to the Giant team, the base gallopers have taken more chances on the bases. This mad pace on the paths has it's effect on the other team always. It usually disconcerts the pitcher and gets the catcher worrying.
 When the Giants won pennants in 1911. 1912 and 1913, taking chances on, the bases had much to do with their success. Manager McGraw admits that club to win the pennant must be proficient in base trimming. That is why, in this new August drive the Giants are making to catch up with first place, the players are taking such desperate chances on the paths.> In the end, McGraw believes, it will show results.
 There was different attitude about the Giant team just as soon as the old 1nfeld got back into play. With '.Herzy" at third and Fletcher back at lort in the first game yesterday against the Pirates, the infield ripped off three fast double plays and missed two others by inches. There was new aggressiveness there and it was be- cause the old combination was back lat work
 With new enthusiasm in base run ming. the Giants are picking up confi- dence in other features of their game Take. for instance, the batting. Not once this season lave the Giants shown a continuity of hitting ability as they showed in one inning of each game yesterday 2. It was the old con- centration of attack. a series of solid blows which sent runs streaming over the pan in quick succession. It is striking while the iron is hot. Catch ing a pitcher when he is on the go and rubbing it in until the game is won. It is the quick, rapid thinking, outguessing the other fellow and do- ing daring. unexpected things to carry the opposition off its feet.
 That's what wins games, and that IS what the Giants are trying to do. It may not be that the Giants will win the pennant. That is almost too much to look forward to after the dis astrous start that McGraw's. club made at the Polo grounds. Their drive is too late, perhaps. but they are gong to try. and try hard.

JAP STAR WINS
 TENNIS MATCH ON
 BROOKLYN COURTS

New York, Aug. "A champion- ship color was given to the open ten- his tournament in singles of the Cres- cent Athletic club. with the initial ap- pearance on the Bay Ridge courts yes- terday of R. Lindley Murray, the Call ifornian who holds the national indoor singles title; Ichiya Kumagae, the Japanese star, who recently won the New York state championship, and II. Mikami, another Oriental player who has appeared in a number of import ant tournaments.
 Although New Workers had seen Murray before, the Oriental players had never exhibited on a local court until yesterday. Both their matches attracted big galleries. Kumaga'e had little trouble winning his first and sec- ond round matches. He did not have difficult opponents. however, which was fortunate for him, because he did not seem to be plaving up to his game. In the first round he won from Henry Warner at 6-1, 6-2. and in the sec- ond round he disposed of E. H. Kirk land at 6-2, 7-5.

WALSH LOSES IN
 TEN INNING GAME
Special to The Farmer

Lowell. Aug. 2-After running up a string of six straight victories Marty Walsh struck a snag yesterday and lost a tough 10 inlnng engagement to Lowell by 1 to 0. Walsh twirled a masterly game and deserved to win. His club was unable, however to touch Lehman, who did the f1inging for the home team. Lehman has been purchased by Detroit and he certainly served a big league brand, yester- day. He had Bridgeport begging for mercy.
 Lowell was picking at Walsh's de- livery in the. early rounds but could not break through his guard. In the ninth the home players had men on second and third with none out but Walsh frightened and prevented SCOT ing. In the tenth Kilhullen, the Low ell catcher, who is one of the leagues best hitters, cracked a triple. He was the first man up and he scored the hurrah tally when Lehman belted to left for';l single. The score:

CALDWELL GIVEN
 SUSPENSION WHILE TANKS ARE BEATEN

st. Louis, Aug, 2-The Yankees hung on grimly yesterday for thirteen innings, and were beaten by to ? in the fourteenth. The Browns made it nix straight-that Is, six straight from the Yankees and twelve straight in all. St. Louis is now beset by vis- ions of elipsing the Giants seventeen straight.
 !. It was a crisp, hard battle; the hit tne was sparse and the pitching high class. George Mogrfdge, serving for the Yankees, did himself proud. even If his team did lose. He performed in the finest fashion for thirteen long innings of work. When he stepped astde for pinch hitter in the four tseuth he was roundly appiauded by the partisan fans as he left the field, and 1t was off Russell, his successor, that the Browns got their winning tal- M
 There was fine pitching also by Davenport and Weilman. Davenport left for the same reason that Mo- ridge did. to make room for a pinch hitter. He had an artfui and discon- csrting change of pace. It pulled the Yankss battsrs forward. They were off thsir balance and swung too soon. I0oY UQ0xoly C01QP0Q the pail ana such hits as they did get were widely scattersd- ,i
 Tho vicissatudss of the Yankees continued without abatement. In or der to improve the batting, which has lAnguished greatly here, it was Man sgsr, Donovan's intention to station Caldwell in left field today and as- dxn Baumann to third base instead Of Boone, who has helped so slightly In the attack Baumann was at third as planned. but there was no Cald- well in left field and thereby hangs a tale of player failing his mates. The wayward Caldwell. who in the past has shown himself hard to han de, has given Donovan more trouble and this morning Donovan. though it weakened his pitching stanf, fined Caldwell $100, suspended, him for fif- teen days. and sent him to New York.
 With Caldwel1's suspension the Yankees have only five available pitt chers, Love, Shawkey. Fisher, Rus sell. and Mogridge. Furthermore, Baker, Cullop. Magee. Maisel, and Gill; hooley are unable ts play; High, has q lame foot and Gedeon. who was at second today. is not we'll. Yet, in the face of all this diversity the team played gamely,

SCHUPP IN GREAT FORM BUT GIANTS
 LOSE OUT IN 10TH

New York, Aug 2-The Giants fin ally lost game to the Pittsburgh Pi- rates at the Polo Grounds yesterday It was a ten-inning battle and the score was 4 to B.
 The sad feature of the occasion was that the battle never should have gone into extra frames and McGraw's war riors should have won it. Twice Old Man Opportunity came knocking at the door, and twice our boys let him get away.
 AS club, New York has no excuse, since team that has chances to win and permit them to slip off, deserves to lose, but it certainly was a tough afternoon for Ferdinand Schupp. That fast becoming eminent left-hander pitched what is known among players as a sweet game of ball, and he gets no official credit for it.
 When Schupp entered the conflict, at the beginning of the fourth inning, the score was 3 to 1 against his com rades. In the seven frames that he occupied the mound the Pirates made just one hit. That came in. the tenth and, although it was triple, would not have resulted in a run had it not been for aN low throw to the plate by Merkle.
 In the mean time the Giants made six hits and two runs off Cooper. They secured a base on balls and two hits in one inning and still failed to score. If the battle had started with Schupp's appearance in the box. the score probably would have been 2 to 1, and should have been to in favor of New York.
 Anderson, who whitewashed the Pi- rates last Saturday, started the con- test for the Giants. He was far from his best. In the three innings that he displayed his wares he hit one batter, gave base on balls and was found for six singles.

Leon Ames Is Real Veteran of Baseball
 But Can Still Pitch

Pursued throughout large part of his baseball career by a jinx of the most malevolent species known to na- tural history, Leon Ames has gamely stuck to his guns, and he is now en- titled to rank among the battle-scar- red veterans of the grand army of tue diamond. The CardihhF tYNkt PFssks his thirty-fourth milestone today, ~as he was born on August 2, 1882. A native of Ohio, the red-thatched lad broke into the professional pastime at Zanesyille in 1902. The next year he went to Ilion. in the New York State League whence John McGraw rescued him in the middle of the 1908 season.
 John T. Brush had then just taken charge of the New York club, and Mc- Graw, the new pilot, was laboring nightly to transform the Giants from the league joke into a winnir g before the season closed, and although he developed rather slowly, by 1905 he was one of the mainstays of the McGraw twirling staff. He played big part in grabbing the 1905 flag for the Giants by winning twenty-two games and losing only eight.
 The slab staff of the Giants of that period consisted of Ames. Mathew son, Joe McGinnity, George Wiltse and veteran Luther Taylor. Leon and Christy are the only 1916 survi- vors in the big leagues. Iron Man. McGinnity is still burning 'em over in the Northwestern league, and recent ly twirled both games of double- header, while Wiltse is managing the Albany club of the New York State league.
 After his great showing in 1905 the jinx began to pursue Ames. and, although he continued to twirl great ball, the breaks were always against him. Ames has certainly lost more superbly pitched games than any other twirler in captivity. The au- burn-topped northpaw didn't have the best control in the world, and that had something to do with his seem- ing i'll fortune, but not everything When his control was perfect and he had everything on the old pill, the men back of him usually managed to pull off enough bones to lose the game. In 1909, on the opening day of the season, Ames held the Dodgers hitless and runless for nine in nings, but lost the game in the thirteenth.I The hoodoo was still working!
 Ames remained with the Giants just ten years, and in the middle of 1913 was turned over to the Reds. Last year Miller Huggins got him. His 1915 record was eleven won to seven lost-magic figures which may indi- cate that at last the jinx has reiin-' quished its favorite prey. Considering theclub he Is with, Ames has made a fairly good record this year.

After a number of conferences it is said that Eastern league magnates have agreed upon a new circuit for next season. They regard the combi- nation of ten clubs as unwieldy, as everybody knew it would be. The magnates themselves did not care much for the ten club idea but under the circumstances could see no other way to handle the situation.
 The club owners do not intend to start another campaign with the pres ent lineup, however They have dis cussed the situation carefully and think they have found a way to cut down transportation and at the same time provide an ideal league. It is said that the circuit agreed upon is Worcester, Springfield, Hartford, New Haven, New London, Pittsfield, Wa terbury and Bridgeport.
 Hugh Duffy is said to be ready to quit Portland because the fans have failed to properly support his top notch club. Lowell, Lynn and Law renee have been great disappoint- ments so it will be no loss to part with them. One or two of the mag mates at the other end of the circuit will be given opportunity to take val uable franchises at this extremity. Owner Collins of New Haven is willing to quit the game and it is probable that one of the other owners will take over the Elm City franchise.
 Bill Martin, who was released by Bridgeport early in the season, has been signed by New Haven. There is quite Bridgeport alumni association in the Elm City now with Red Wha- len, Smith and Martin as members. Whalen treated himself to four hits against Hartford yesterday.

TANKS TRYING TO
 GET HOFFMAN FOR EXTRA 0UTFIELDER

New York, Aug. 2-Rumors are fly ing around town to the effect that Cir GUS Solly Holman, former star out fielder with the Cubs in their pennant winning days, is about to join the Yankees Hoffman now is in Chicago conducting baseball school fOr a Windy City newspaper nd is in good condition. On Sundays Hofmans plays semi-pro ball in Chicago and has be- come the idol of the free lance fans. When with the Brookfeds a year ago Hoffman never had real chance, but did fine work later in the season. for the Buffeds. Donovan has made Hof- man an offer and Solly is considering it. The Yankee manager is in a quandary for another seasoned out fielder and he figures Holman would help considerably in the emergency.

 Owner Collins of the New Haven club is trying to pick up little ex- pense money so he has agreed to play the Colonials next Sunday at Light house Point. The Colonials have big following and it is expected large crowd will turn out.

 Al Mccoy. the accidental middle weight champion, wants Australian promoters to post forfeit of 10000 before he will visit that country.
