HOFFMAN SIGNS TO
 PLAY WITH TANKS

Chicago, Aug. 3-Artie Holman, old dme Cub. will be New York Yan- kee in short time Holman, who has been playing ball hereabouts. met Colonel Ruppert and Captain Huston at the Blackstone last night, and came to terms He will join the team in Detroit at once.
 Holman is to star with the club for . week or ten days, until Donovan gets enough of his cripples back in the lineup to afford permitting him tc return here.
 Holman will play in the game al Detroit. on Friday" Colonel Rupperi said Last night We feel gratified in securing Holman, for he will strengthen the team We had hoped to get a player or two from the White Sox, but they have nothing to spare that win add to our strength. Other than Holman, we have secured no new material We have hopes, but there are no prospects just at presents

GUY MORTON, OLD
 WATERBURY STAR, MAY BE THROUGH

Local fans who remember Guy Morton when he pitched for Water bury in 1914, will be sorry to learn that he is probably through as d pitcher this season. The New York Evening Sun says of him:
 Guy Morton, the star pitcher Of the Clevelands, may never enter the box again. He has been sent homo for the balance of the season vita others not to touch a ball until next spring. Morton had won eleven out of thirteen games for the Clevelands tliis season when he snapped iga- ment in his forearm. GHe consulted Q specialist, who told him that two weeks of idlesness would make him right again.
 But Morton has been unable to curve ball ever since and Manager Fohl has decided that it would be folly to work him. The loss of Mor- ton probably means that the Cleve- lands chance to win the pannant has gone. He would have hung up great record, no doubt, had it not been for his unfortunate injury"

uled here for tomorrow but the game was advanced and played last Sum- day as part of the double header.
 Shanty House until yesterday had made only two hits this season. Then he stepped in and grabbed three at Lowell. The youngster took it easy on the mound after Bridgeport had piled up big lead.
 Catcher Mike Flaherty and Jake Warner were others who found the Lowell pitching to their liking. Each collected three slams.
 It is said that Owner Weeghman of the Chicago Cubs is interfering with Joe Tinkers management of the club. He is alleged to have made the deal with the Pirates, whereby the Cubs secured Wilson for Fischer and Schuite, without asking Tinker's con- sent.
 Maurice Mclaughlin, the former tennis champion, left his home in Cal ifornia yesterday for his eastern in vasion. He and his partner, Ward Dawson, will take part in the Western doubles tournament, which starts in Chicago August 15. After that they go to New York for the national championships at Forest Hills. Mo Loughlin says if he can regain the championship in singles he will re- tire.
 Jim Thorpe is going. so we'll for Mill waukee of the American association that he may get another chance in the big league. He leads the league in base stealing and is hitting hard. Somebody has figured out that Ty Cobb makes $100 a day. Pretty good pay for jumping into the stands and hitting fans on the chin.

RUbE BENTON HAS PIRATES GUESSING
 AND GIANTS WIN

New York, Aug. 3-Rube Benton showed his very considerable frame between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the sun at the Polo Grounds yester- day, and thereby enveloped the visi- tors in the deep shadow of defeat. The left handed motorcycle enthusiast did not even allow his opponents "a hit until his comrades had given him a very comfortable margin on which to work. Then he eased up to the ex- tent of three singles and a couple of triples, with the result that the final score was 6 to 2.
 Young Mamaux, the speed boy, was Benton's opponent on the mound. The star twirler of the Pirates was rough lyf handled. McGraw's men got to him for thirteen hits in their eight turns at bat, and only fine fielding behind him saved him from a worse beating than he received. Their hits included two triples and two doubles. Their nine singles were all good, solid clouts
 The Pittsburgh hits all were made by three men. Schulte poled out a single and triple. Hinchman got a triple and Farmer made two singles. New York divided it's hits more even- ly. Every man lon the team struck at least one safe blow with the ex- ception of Benton.
 Dayy Robertson was the real slug ger of the afternoon. On his four trips to the plate he secured three singles and would have had a perfect percentage if it had not been for a circus catch by Schultz George Burns made a double and a triple Herzog a triple. Fletcher two singles and Merkle a double and. a single Fletcher reached first every time he 1 came to bat. In addition to his two hits he was hit by pitched ball and also gained the near corner safely or an error.

YANKEES TRYING 10 TRADE
 PITCHER RAY CALDWEtt NOW
Club Owners Confer With Ban Johnson and Ask
 For Assistance.

Detroit, Aug. 3-Bil1 Donovan did not accompany the Yankee team to Detroit. He went to Chicago, where he met Col. Ruppert and Capt. Illus ton, president and secretary of the club, and with Ban Johnson watched the Chicago game. The Yankee trio held an important conference with President Ban Johnson and there is considerable speculation here as to what the conference was about.
 It is reported, however, that the Yankee officials have appealed to the league head to give them some help at this time. as the club with it's un- paralleled list of injuries seems wor- thy of some consideration. What Ban can do for them is hard to con- ceive. Every club but the Athletics is in the race and the only players Mack has left on his club are McIn- his and Strunk. Either or both would fit very nicely in the Yankee outfit, though Connie Mack would undoubt- edly lose the last fan that remained loyal to him in Philadelphia if he sold any of these lone survivors of the for

MAlSEL REPORTS TO YANKEES AND
 MAY PLAY THIRD


 Detroit, Aug. 3-The Yankees rest cd yesterday and were not sorry for the chance. Fritz Maisel is here ready to jump into the game again. He is willing and eager, but the shoulder which he hurt last spring isn't fully right yet for throwing pur- poses. Maisel says the treatment he has been taking in Chicago since the Yankees were there has made the shoulder better. but that it hurts him when he tries to cut loose with a straight, hard throw.
 Maisel hopes Donovan will let him play the infield today. preferably at third. but until the manager gets here the question cannot be settled. Donc- van is browsing around Illinois lock- ing for ball playera He needs another pitcher as much as anything. His stan is now reduced to five, hardly enough for campaign purposes.

 Ruppert and Huston may have ask ed Johnson to help them make some kind of deal The Tanks might even be willing to trade Caldwell at this time as Slim is in very bad all around. Donovan says nothing ever got him as worked up~as Caldwell g Behavior at this time, when he ex- pected every man to remain loyal to him in the clubs diversity. Bill is no strict disciplinarian, as Caldwell is the first player he has fined since be- coming a manager in 1913. Tho club owners also are bitter against Caldwell. He is paid $8,0O0 a year and so far has won only five games. yet no fault was found with his pitch ing so long as he behaved.
 Both Heating and Markle also are on the market An effort was made to trade Heating, before the club went west, but without success. Just now the team needs hitting strength on the infie1d more than anything else, despite the fact that four outfielders -Magee, Gilhooley. Maisel and High are laid up.

Washington, Aug. Reorganization of the new farm loan board, whose members have just been named by President Wilson. will be accomplish ed without delay, it was said today Members will be notified of their ap- pointment immediately and within Is days must take the oath of office. Their nominations were confirmed by the senate yesterday.
 The board will meet in Washing ton soon and afterwards will start hearings throughout the country for the purpose of dividing the United States into 12 federal land bank dis tricts.
 Actual operation of the farm loan system probably will not be begun be- fore next spring

The Reds are losing just as consist ently under Matty's management as they did when Herzog led them. Big SIX has tremendous burden on his broad shoulders.
 Accidents sustained by Baker, Gull Top, Magee, Gilhooley High and Mai sel will deprive the Yankees not only of the pannant but also of $1O0,O0O in gate receipts.
 Viox of the Pirates was sent home to Pittsburgh last night, to remain on the disabled list for the next ten days
 Morally the Braves have violated the 2l player limit all season. They have more than two dozen men on the payroll.
 It is reported that Al Mamaux of the Pirates wants to become a Giant. But Dreyfuss stands in the way
 The Mackmen are welcomed by the other American League teams with open arms. They are soft picking these days.
 St. Louis fans are claiming the pen- nant for Fielder Jones' Browns, but fans in other cities have done the same thing in vain.
 As soon as Pitcher Ralph Stroud reports to the Louisville club Pitcher Middleton will be turned over to the Giants.
 The Pittsburgh club received about $12,OO0 for the present series at the Polo Grounds. Dreyfuss will get another bundle at Ebbets Field There will be double header there on Sat- urday.

BROOKLAWN MAY GET

The city tennis tournament will probably be held next month on the Brooklawn club courts. The Wea- togue club of Stratford is anxious to secure the tournament but the fact that this organization is outside the city, limits may block the plans. Dr.. R. w. Hall, the present city cham pion, is ready to defend his title. He is in great form this season having re- cently defeated Rev. G. o. Tamblyn for the Y. M. c. A. championship.

RULE GIVING BATTING
 ORDER TO SPECTATORS
 PROVES VERY POPULAR

The order issued by Ban Johnson to his umpires, relative to securing the lineups of the teams at least ten min utes before the game is started. is having a good effect in the American League, writes s. E. McCarty in the Pittsburg Leader. The lineups of both clubs are given to the umpire ten minutes before game time; one copy is retained by the umpire and the other sent to the press box.
 Before the game starts the umpire reads the entire batting list to the spectators. This has met with gen. eral approval from the press and fans, as very often, especially at Forbes Field, it is the third or fourth inning before the correct lineup is known to the fans, while in the press box it is sometimes the third inning before the official batting order Is sent. By that time shifts are often made, and this leads to complications.
 Manager Callahan is one of the pi- lots who is in favor of giving the line- up to the spectators before the game and is willing to furnish his list to the umpire ten minutes before game time, but there are a few old fogies in the circuit who balk. It is flair to one club as to another and it brings the fans in closer touch with condi- tions.
 A price is set for alleged official score cards. yet they are not worth the paper they are printed on, as a rule, as usually there are some posi- tions with several names printed, and the umpire does not announce which player is in the position. It is our inn pression that an order or a promise, at least, was made by President Tener about announcing the lineup. If 1t was, then the umpires are neglecting their duty. Might be wise idea for Tener to profit by watching some of the important features.
