downfall of their former chief. There are are also to be reckoned with the intellectuals, who write things for the papers-thinss usually far from flat tering to the government temporarily in power.
 Last but not least among the dis cordant elements in Redland are the nihilist fans, who seem, to the nude and naked eye of the outlander, to hold the ideal of a ball club without a manager, In the dark and noisome dens of Cincinnati these nihilists are already conspiring over their beer, and plotting ways and means to upset the existing order. Baseball nihilism flourishes to a greater extent in Cin- cinnati than in any other city between the two well-advertised oceans. and the power of the anarchists is not to be sneered at. Upsetting the existing order is one of the best things they do, and 1t is fortunate that their in- terests are baseballistic rather than political.
 In the meantime, however. the Mat tistas are in the saddle, and the new First Chief may be sure of many an heartfelt felicitations on his birthday

HURT AS
 SOON AS HE PUTS
 ON TANK UNIFORM

Cleveland, Ohio, Aug 1.-The ill., starred Yankees closed a disastrous Western tour here yesterday afternoon under the same conditions which have marked so many of their previous battles on alien soil. They made one misplay, and that came with two out in the ninth just as the umpires were about to call the game so that the Tanks might catch their train for New York and the Indians start for St. Louis. That one misplay sent over a run for Cleveland, and instead of a tie the Tanks suffered another defeat. The score was 3 to 2.
 Walter Pipp was the offender in the play which plunged the Donovan clan to defeat With one out in the ninth inning and Turner on first base by virtue of single, Steve O'Neil hit a grounder to Peckinpaugh. Peck made a pretty stop and throw to first, re- tiring the batter. Turner rounded second, and as he dashed along to third Pipp shot the ball over for what should have been an easy double play The ball bounded in front of Boone and rolled to the grand stand, Fur ner scurrying home with the deciding run.
 They got a pair of runs off Otis Lambeth, a recruit from the Topeka club of the Western League, who made his fipst real start in the ma- jor class. He had finished some games since coming to the Indians, but not until yesterday did Manager Fohl fntrust the start of a game to him. After the first inning, when two hits and a pass netted two runs, Lambeth held the New Workers to three hits.
 The game today marked the re-ap- pearance in the New York lineup of Fritz Maisel, who sustained a broken collar bone in game against Cleve- land at the Polo Grounds on May 15. With Hoffman out of the running be- cause of trouble with his legs, Dono- van had to call on Maisel, who still finds 1t difficult to throw.
 Another change in the New York lineup was made at third base, where Angel Aragon, who reported to Dono- van here yesterday morning, supplant- ed Lute Boone. Aragon was not in the game three minutes before he fell under the spell of the injury af- flictiens which have been pursuing the club. While at bat in the open- ing inning the little Cuban was hit on the left wrist by pitched ball and he had to leave the game in the next round. Boone finished the game at third base. Aragon will be out of the game several days.
 Allen Russell kept the Cleveland hits well scattered the fourth being the only inning whica produced more than one safety.

Jack Ness, Slugger Of White Sox, Holds
 Straight Hitting Record

The White Sox slugger, Jack Ness, holds the worlds record of having made 4s hits in 49 games, when he was member of the Oakland club. Ness was going along nicely without a ripple of publicity when someone not ed the fact that he had hit safely in 15 games. The scribes turned back their score sheets and sure enough he had made 15 hits in 15 games. Then he crawled up to 25 hits and the en- tire country wanted to be informed every night if Ness had his daily hit.
 Sometimes he got the hit the first time up. and once he, went five games going to the bat for the last time be- fore he rammed out the bingle, In the fiftieth game he hit them hard enough but they went right to the eutHelders and the record was shattered, Ness is one of the few ball players wlfe are representing their native towns, for he was born in Chicago, His record when he made the 4@ consecutive hits wasi At bat, 184j runs, S6j hits, s1 i two base hits, 14j three base hits, Sj home runs, 6.

WALSH KEEPS UP
 GREAT WORK BY BEATING HARTFORD
(By Wagner.)


 No twirler in the Eastern League has done better work than Marty Walsh in the last month. The big boy has captured seven of his last eight games and that lone defeat was a 1 to 0 affair in Lowell. In his last four starts Walsh has allowed just one run, Portland, Springfld and Hartford getting the whitewash. Yes terday Hartford was Martys victim He doled out three taps to the Sena- tors and the ladies' day delegation at Newfield saw Bridgeport romp home a winner by to o.
 Lyons, a youngster .farmed out by Toronto, was Hartford's pitching selection. He had a peculiar experi- ence. For four innings he baffled Bridgeport. Then in the fifth the Hustlers climbed on him for seven runs. After that the locals could score only once. Healy's crowd col lected Il blows Baker, Deininger and Warner getting two each. Hork- heimer and Warner fielded brilliantly.
 In addition to his clever boxwork Walsh picked two men off first. In the third Skiff of the Senators caught his shoe laces in his spikes and couldn't get back to the bag.
 Bridgeport started trouble in the fifth with one down. Briggs, Hork- heimer and Flaherty singled, filling the bases. Then Walsh pumped a hit through the infield, scoring Briggs and Horkheimer. Blake popped out but Duggan walked, crowding the corners again. Deininger's scratch tap brought Flaherty in. Then came Baker with a three bagger that land- ed in deep right, Walsh, Duggan and Deininger making the plate. Warmers s jolt to left sent Baker over. The figures:

FAVOR RED sox NOW.

Most of the big sportsmen who nave made bets on the American league race, have picked Boston to win. It looks now as if these men would cash in for the Red Sox re- turn home from the west with lead of 10 points. As they are due for a long stay on the home grounds they are likely to increase their advantage. In the important series with the Chi cago White Sox, Boston took three out of four, showing the White Sox to third place and putting Cleveland sec ond. Of course the White Sox have the advantage of finishing the season at home but they may be out of the race if they take a slump on their next Eastern invasion.
 Business Manager Arthur Irwin of the Toronto club, saw the game at Newfield yesterday. By the terms of the agreement by which Bridgeport got Neal Ball, Toronto can pick one player from the local club at the end of the campaign. Because. of Walsh's sensational showing it would not be surprising if the big fellow was taken although House may be the choice.
