Eddie's work with the willow CON-
sisted of triple, double, a single

from the hurting of three of the Red
Sox pitchers. He also played a bang
up game in the field, although he did
not have many chances. During the
midst Of White Sox rally in the
third, when Boston was two runs
ahead, it was Eddie's single that
broke the ice for the second run of
the three made by the White Hose.
When the score was knotted up in the
eighth and a man on, Eddie again
came to the rescue with a triple that
put the home boys one run to the
good. Besides that he tore off a dou-

fault that it was not melted into a
tally, for his hit mates left him
stranded. The score:

TEARNEY PERMITS
BALKS SAYS BROWN
Bernie Smith in Peoria Starr


Abner Gould made six deliberate
balks in a recent game, all of which
were committed with men on the bases.
Alb has habit of making a deliberate
move with his whole body towards the
batter, then relaxing and heaving to
first. Any muscular movement by a
pitcher made towards the batter not
followed by immediate delivery to the
batter is balk. Following the game
we called Umpire Browns attention to
Gould's mis-delivery and he agreed
that Gould'S was balk motion, but
pleaded lack of any stated league au-
thority in the matter. There is
| scarcely a pitcher in the league but
who cheats in some manner in taking
his position for pitching" said Brown.
Tearney is not inclined to be very
strict in the matter and l have called
but one balk this season. although, as
you have pointed out, they happen fire.
quently."
They don't call balks in this league.
What is the use of wrangling?" de-
clared Bill Jackson.
Yes, it's balk motion, all right.
But he is getting away with it, so l
guess l will leave him alone" said
Boss O'Leary.
| The question arises, will Three Eve
pitchers, given full rein in the matter
of their delivery here, find conditions
different when they go up, and how
long will it take to break them of the
| illegal habits acquired on the minor

ELEVEN MACS START
IN LATONIA DERBY

Cincinnati, June 17-Eleven horses
entered to start in the 34th running
of the Latonia derby at the Latonia
kentucky race course this afternoon,
but it was considered doubtful wheth-
er all of them would go to the post.
Six and possibly seven or eight, it was
thought, were reasonably sure to start.
The derby is worth $4,000 and as
some of the best eligible 3-year- Odds
in the country were among the en-
tries, the race promised to be an open
one. The track was affected by the
heavy rains OF yesterday but it began
to dry out last night. George Smith
ruled favorite in the morning betting
on account of his victory in the Ken
lucky derby. The distance of the race
is a mile and a half.

Chicago to join them. With him was
Nat Hudson, a pitcher, who now holds
fat political job in Chicago and

ceased Billy Forrest, also deceased,
was the other pitcher and Tom Cog

There was no league organized at that
time, the Rock Islanders playing or

one of their greatest rivals. Harry

SLIM SALLEE QUITS
ST. Lucy NATIONALS

New York, June Hilary Sallee,
star pitcher of the st. Louis National
league club, was suspended indefinitely
yesterday by Manager Higgins of the
club as the result of an alteration be-
tween the manager and the player
Thursday night. Sallee tore up his
contract during the argument, Mr.
Higgins said, and left the city.
"Sallee has been disgruntled and
dissatisfied for some time" Higgins
said. He had not broken training,
however. There have been rumors for
some time that he was to be purchased
by the New York club. and these re-
ports added TO his dissatisfaction with
the St Louis club. There was no foun-
dation for the reports, as the New York
club does not tamper with players
There is no deal on in which Sallee is
involved and he will not be sold OF
traded TO any club"
