The defeat was particularly lament
able because Marshalltown had given

the MarShalltown Nemesis. The OF

To make the defeat more bitter it
was necessary for Sargent. Mar

WESTERNERS ARE
EXPECTED TO COP
IN A. A. u. MEET

Newark Sept S.-The r1osu prom
inent athletes of the United States.
from every section of the country. are
here today to take part in the annual
cha mpionship contests of the Anna
teur Athletic union. Today's contests
are in the junior class, but tomorrow
the senior champions will hold their
meet.
Interest in the contests centers
mainly in the possibilities of victories
for the western champions. The mid
die west and the Pacific coast are
sending men who stand head and
shoulders above previous importations
from those sections, altho some of
them are men who already have taken
part in the bigger games.
The University of Missouri. in Simp-
son and Floyd, has two wonderful men
and the two are entered for the senior
championships, having been clicked at
the meet recently held in st Louis.
Simpson. besides being a broad jumper
of uncanny power. holds an unoffi-
cial worlds record for the IzO-yard
high hurdles and Floyd has a record
in the pole vault. Simpson has been
timed going over the barriers IN 1875
seconds. a record that is absolutely
astounding
From the far west will core Kelly,
Thomson and Murray. ali Eurdlers,
every one of whom has cleared the
high hurdles in less than 1 5 seconds.

NEED GIANT BAT
Ball Players ThenW Ouldnt Have
to Swing EN- i'm Bunches.
Practicing With a Lead Ball
Gives Alexander Speed.
BY FRANK G. NIENKE.

New York, Sept S-Why doesn't
some baseball manager have built for
his team swinging" bat that is three
or four times as heavy and large
as the ordinary mace?
You've noticed that every man
about to take his turn at the plate
approaches waving two or three bats.
And you know the reason; he swings
all three so that when he actually
retains the selected bat it will seem
much lighter in comparison.
But why not a single bat built along
giant lines? One that has a handle
three or four times as thick as the
ordinary bludgeon and three or four
times heavy? If a player swung
that it would give off the real effect
of swinging one bat. When he swings
three regular bats they slip around
and he has trouble in holding them
together long enough to get the full
effect of their weight while making a
few practice swings.
Alexander Throws Lead Ball.
Did you know that Grover Cleveland
Alexander always toys with lead ball
on the days that he goes into the box.
Fans all over the country have been
a bit mystified by the actions of the
Phillie star in playing a game of toss

SCOREBOARD FLASHES

=. Thursdays. -Schupp. Pitching for
two hits and showed them farther away
Both of the Brooklyn hits came in one
inning and one of them was a mighty
smash into the right field stands by Buck
Wheat.
Five Detroit pitchers worked against the
Browns and handed out thirteen bases on
balls.
Nabor, for the Athletics, out-pitched Fos-
ter of the Red Sox, but the champions won.
Another Red Sox infielder went to the
hospital when Larry Gardner stubbed his
toe and threw it out of place.
The umpires sure faced an awful pam
ming. The Braves lost two games to the
Phillies. Tom Hughes was going well for
the Braves when he was nicked by a bat
ted ball. His right hand was put out of
connected for at least one safe blow in the
first game.
Frank Baker got his first hit since his
return to the Yank line up in the second
game of doubleheader at Washington.
And again it was Bob Shawkey who
STAYED off defeat for the Donovan cripples

fective way of preventing owners
yielding to the temptation to have a
winning club at any cost, and at the
same time it would make a hit with
the fans who prefer to see youngsters
rather than old has beens."
Holland Places Blame.
Jack Holland of st. Joe blames a
large part of the present trouble the
league is in to the fact that Omaha
and Lincoln have maintained eXpen-
sive clubs all season and because of
this have made a runaway of the race
and have made the other clubs pay
more than they could afford to in
their effort to keep up"
Efforts are now being made to land
the Wichita club in Colorado Springs,
Hutchinson or Joplin for the remain
der of the season. 1t was reported in
Lincoln that John Savage was after
the Wichita franchise, but Savage
stated that he did not want it for him
self and that he was merely trying to
help the league out of an embarrassing
situation by getting the Wolves in the
hands of a responsible person who
would carry out the schedule.
Savage Won't Quit.
Savage will stay in Topeka until the
close of the present season. That is
a cinch And even if t cost him con-
siderable money, he will save Topeka
the disgrace of being known as a
dead baseball town. and the only

Larry Gardner.

There has been complaint this sea-
son about the dearth Of hard-hitting
shortstops and third basemen, but it
doesn't go with Larry Gardner of
the Boston Red Sox. Gardner is
close up to that immortal trio,
Speaker, Cobb and Jackson, in the
batting lists and is the most con-

infielders. The present season looks
like one of his best since he joined
the Red Sox in 1909.

Indications are that every other club
in the league will do likewise, altho
conditions in st. Joe and Sioux City
are little better than they are in To-
peka Had the club owners in these
three cities been cutters, as were
those who owned the Wichita club,
they would have dropped out some
time ago and would have saved money
by it. But, apparently they have more
faith in their towns, and believe that
conditions may take a change for the
better
Conditions Are Bad.
/, Just now, every club owner in the
league is working his brain over time
trying to figure out ways to survive
and keep the league from going under
the sod, and it is realized everywhere
that conditions were never so bad be-
fore, and that drastic action must be
taken to save the old ship from the
rocks.
No meeting has yet been called to
thresh out the Wichita situation and
make plans for the future but it is
inevitable that the other seven club
owners will have to get their heads
together and work out their salvation.
1t has been suggested, and the sug-
agestion is being given consideration,
that the league get on a class B basis
as soon as possible and that a salary
limit be guaranteed by a ruling that
will forbid any club having more than
four players on its pay roll who have
previously played in a higher class

A SLIM CHANCE
Holland Not Likely to Take
Wolves to X. c., Kansas.
Remainder of Games May Be
Played in Wichita.

The story that Jack Holland, the
might take over the Wichita baseball
club and transfer it to Kansas City,
Kan. has not been given serious con-
sideration in local baseball circles
That Kansas City, Kan, will eventu-
ally have a Western league franchise
is thought probable, but just now Hol-
land has all he can handle in his St
Joe proposition.
For a club to be put into Kansas
City, Kan, it will either be necessary
to get the consent of the owner of the
Blues or the right to make the invas-
ion will have to be fought out in the
higher baseball tribunals. 1t is very
doubtful if Tebeau would consent to
having the Western league so close to
his back door.
Stay in Wichita.
The owners of the Wichita park
have consented to allow the Wolves
to use their old park for the remain
der of the season without rental and
this offer will likely be accepted if
some other city does not grab the
franchise.
Kansas City, Kansas, would proba-
bly, make a good town in the league If
schedule could be made which
would give the Missourians across the
river chance to see continuous base
ball by having a schedule that would
not conflict with the Blues However,
this could not be arranged for the
balance of this season, which is an
other reason for believing the Holland
deal will not be made
