SWEENEY IS 28 TODAY

Edward F. Sweeney, the veteran Yankee backstop who was dismissed last winter and got an American As- sociation job with Bresnahan's Tole- do Iron Men, passes his twenty-eighth milestone today. Sweeney and "Bir- die" Cree were the last of the old Tanks, both having joined the club in 1908. Ed was only nineteen when he got into the main tent, Clark Grif- fifth. then pilot of the Yankees. se- curing him from Atlanta. Prior to his 1907 engagement in the Georgia metropolis Sweeney had played with Aurora, H., and with Columbia in the Sally circuit, and also with a col lege nine. Although his major lea que days are probably over, Big Ed Is still a good man behind the bat, and should have several profitable years of baseball before him.

THE PASSING
 OF SCHMIDT

What would you think of a fellow who would give up soft job and a big salary as a big league star with a club looked, upon as worlds ser ies possibility in order that he might work ten or twelve hours a day in a meat market? Yes, we thought so. But that is exactly what Charles Butch Schmidt, former first base man of the Braves did do. Last win ter big Butch" decided that his mar ket in Baltimore demanded his entire attention, and sent in his resignation to the Boston club. Schmidt was born twenty-nine years ago today. and has been playing bail for ten years. He made his first reputation with semi-pro club in Baltimore, and in 1907 Jack Dunn gave him a chance with the local Eastern league club. Schmidt was then a pitcher. and after a brief trial he was sent to Holyoke. Toward the close of the season he was recalled. and 'tButch,' won six straight games, enabling Baltimore to cop the flag. In 1909 he was given a trial by the Yankees, but was returned to Baltimore. Schmidt was then tried at first base, and played that position for Balti- more until 1913, when he was turn ed over to Rochester. Stallings bought him from the Bronchos late that season.

WALSH'S SUPERB .t PITCHING DEFEATS LAWRENCE PLAYERS
(By Wagner.)


 Midsummer madness struck the baseball slaves yesterday and they gave Umpire Bannon a violent after noon at Newfield park The Law renee players surrounded the arbiter more frequenly and he was forced to send O,Connell to the blockhouse. That was in the eighth after the player stood with his bat on his shoulder and watched a, third strike float ovef. The player threatened to throw the bat at the umpire and was given the sign to amble out of the picture.
 Tn the fourth Larry Mahoney of Lawrence gave a fine exhibition of buck and wing dancing after he was called out at the plate. He jumped up and down and narrowly missed the umpire's feet, But he stopped the jig in time to avoid banishment.
 These incidents helped enliven the game which Bridgeport won by 1 to O., largely because of Walsh's good pitch ing. The big fellow was tapped for nine hits but kept them scattered. He did not give pass and famed six. Pennington, the Lawrence star, al- lowed only four blows but one of these came with a man on second and pro- duced run.
 Brilliant catches were made by Blake of the locals and Howard and |OConnell of Lawrence. Ball got two of Bridgeport's hits. In the eighth Blake beat out bunt and took second when Murphy t --ew wildly. Balls c1ack to left scored Blake with the victorious tally. The score:

GROOM ] MATTY,
 FOR MANAGER
 OF THE GIANTS

New York, July 19-There were no new developments along the New York-Cincinnati trading front yester- day. According to late advices from the West, Matty was still unsentenced to the management of the Reds, while Charley Herzog had not yet obtained his release from the St. Helena of pro- fessionaI baseball In addition the spiking of Bill McKechnie at St. Louis on Monday might have complicated matters.
 It is agreed that there is only one hitch in the big deal. Harry Hemp xtead still insists that the Reds give the Giants an option on the services of Matty at the end of two years This Cincinnati very naturally and rightfully refuses to do. It would not be according to the letter and the spirit of professional baseball to pro mitigate any such agreement.
 Hempstead's insistence on the option makes possible only one inference. The New York club is evidently grooming Matty to succeed John McGraw in the management of the Giants. Certainly Hampstead does not think that a two- year stay on the banks of the Rhine will improve Matty as pitcher.
 Hampstead apparently desires to give Matty two years of exper1ence In Cincinnati and then bring him along to take the .reins here. Matty is the only figure now on the horizon as Mc- Graw's successor. Men on the inside declare that the time is not far dis tant when McGraw will head a syndi- cate that will buy out the Hampstead interests
 and Matty manager financially 1n- terested the combination as far as at- tracting the good will of the local fans is concerned would be almost ideal.

MAY ABOLISH
 COMMISSION OF
 BOXING IN N. '.

Albany, N. T., July 19.-A feeling against the Malone law creating the
 State Athletic commission continues to
 grow, and there is strong likelihood
 that the next legislature will be asked
 to repeal the act. Persons who have
 been following the work of the com
 mission closely are of the opinion that
 the proposal of Chairman Fred A.
 Wenck to legalize referees decisions
 in the state has created new element
 of disturbance in sporting circles
 throughout the state. This proposal is keenly resented and
 is responsible for the movement look
 ing to the abolition of the commission.
 Chairman wenck has failed in one ef-
 fort to legalize boxing decisions, and
 the opponents of legalization declare
 that it would be handling the boxing
 game over to the gamblers Those
 supporting Wenck assert that it is as
 easy now to kill the sport, and that
 until decisions are permitted boxers and promoters will back down to the disgust of the lovers of the sport for sports sake.
 Criticism has been directed against
 the commission from its inception; a large number holding that it is su- perfuous department; and that it is a detriment to boxing. The controversy over decisions is the basis for the
 claim now that the next legislature will be asked to repeal the Malone law Governor Whitman, however. said last night that no formal conn plaints have come to him ias yet, though he had heard that there was considerable dissatisfaction over the commission.

CULLOP, OF TANKS
 COLLAPSES IN BOX

New York, July 19.-Nfck Cullor who has been New York's biggest winner in the pitching line. tore muscle in his side yesterday in the second inning of the game with De- troit at the Pole Grounds. One result of his injury is that the Yankees will lose his valuable services for while, and another result was that they lost the final battle to the Tigers by q score of 1 to O.
 The Giant jinx lives on ball games. but the Yankee jinx Is man-eater. It exists on ball players. Soon groups of charitable women win turn their attention from the European war and begin making hospital supplies for tho Tanks. tt isE
 Cobb and veach had gone out in the second inning when, immediately after pitching the second ball to Burns, Gull lop collapsed in the box. He fell for ward and lay stretched out on his face, There was some excitement among both the players and the fans. as 1t looked like a case of heart fail- ure, but it proved to be an injured muscle. ft The twirler was in intense pain and thought at first that he had a stitch in his side, but an examination by Dr. Vincent O'Reilly, the club physician. disclosed that a muscle had been torn loose from the lower rib on the right hand side Dr. OReilly said last night that Cullbp probably would be out of the game ten days.
 As if to prove that nisfortunes never come singly, Ray Caldwell was hit on the knee in the ninth inning by a line drive from the bat of Mitchell and forced to retire. Ray, however. suffered nothing worse than a bruise and will be ready for work again in . couple of days.
 The Yankees lost yesterday because they could do nothing with Willie Mitchell. who shut them out with seven hits Mitchell appears to be an unlucky opponent for Cullop. He beat him in 12 innings last Friday, thereby breaking his winning streak.

FIVE PLAYERS IN BIG LEAGUE WERE
 HURT YESTERDAY

New York, July 19-That we'll known Jinx which has been following g baseball closely this season was busy again yesterday, with the result that five players, four in the American League and one in the National League were injured and had to retire from the game.
 The victims were Wallie Schang of the Athletics. Nick Cullop and Ray Caldwell of the Yankees, Hank Seve- reid of the St. Louis Browns and Jim my Archer, the veteran backstop of the Cubs. a
 Schang was the most seriously in- jured of the five. Mack's brilliant young catcher fell over the concrete coping at Shibe Park and is now in a hospital with a fractured, jaw.
 Archer had his finger broken from a foul tip in Chicago, Ray Caldwell was hit on the knee frdm a line drive in the ninth inning at the Polo Grounds Seyereid was knocked out at the plate by Babe Ruth in Boston, while Cullop hurt his side while pitchA ing against the Tigers in the second inning.

(By Wagner.)

Lots of baseball news was spilled by Manager Mike Healy of the Bridgeport club today. He announce ed that Pitcher. Johnny Reiger had been traded to Lawrence for Catcher Mike Flaherty and Infielder Jake Warner. It was also stated that former Manager Neal Ball had been released and Pitcher Johnny Til1man, formerly with the St. Louis Ameri- cans, signed.
 The best news is the acquisition of Catcher Flaherty. The local club has needed an experienced backstop all season and Flaherty will fill the bill. Although not a. wonderful hit ter he is a shrewd receiver and a good judge of opposing batsmen. He played with Lawrence last season but refused to join them this year, pre- ferring to take a job at the Reming- ton-U. M. c. Go. plant. He has been playing with the U. M. c. team this year.
 Warner is a veteran, who is slow on the bases but good batter as well as a steady fielder He will play second base, succeeding Ball. The fans liked Ball but realized that ow- ing tol changed conditions hes would have to go. The former manager is in the midst of the worst hitting slump he ever had. His fielding and base running have been brilliant, however. N
 In securing Tillman Manager Healy has made a good move. He is a local boy, who has made good in various minor leagues The St. Louis Browns took him last season but sent him to the Texas league He found the climate so hot that he decided to quit. He won the majority sof his games for. Houston, Tex. Tillman left Houston last night and expects to pitch in this city on Sunday.

 AFTER DISPUTE

Cftcago,z July 1s.-Serious trouble bstween umpires and players. which has been simmertng under the surface during the series between the Dodgers and the Cubs, boiled out in the last game of the series at North Side Park yosterday afternoon, when Umpire Byron declared the contest forfeited @ Brooklyn in the tenth inning. Thus eAa result Of the game is automatical- lT etched Into the records as Brook HR g; CicAgo,0. A 4-to-4 tie existed when the game was declared forfeited.
 The refusal of Jim Vaughn to pitch to Ollie O'Mara when ordered to do so b1 Umpire Byron was the cause of the trouble. This is the way the stage wAs -et: Fly Myers, first batter up in the tenth frame, got to second base when Knabe threw his grounder past uatek Johnston beat. out, a bunt to Sletdzr, seilding Myers to third. Then Johnston stole second. With the call tWo and two on O1Mara, Vaughn step pe1 out of the hurling box and stood 1Aeing the plate.

 At this juncture Tinker ran from t1e bench toward the plate. The um- n4re ordered Tinker to return to. the Hench. Joe refused. After five min- utes had elapsed. Byron forfeited the 6Ame.
 The game win cost the Cubs $1 600, which 1s the penalty exatted by the loAeue for forfeiture of the game. It VIII unquestionably be protested.
