MAMAUX JUMPS
 PIRATES AND GOES
 TO OUTLAW CLUB

New York, Aug. 4-Though nego- t1ations have not been completed to convert Al Mama.ux from Pittsburg Pirate into a New York Giant, the youthful right handler has departed from the midst of the Smoke Town troupe. Albertus, the bud boy of the Corsair household, has gathered his belongings and left the family roof tree, swearing never, more to partake of the hospitality of Barney Dreyfuss or to draw rations from the Dreyfuss exchequer.
 Mamaux has followed in the some what past footsteps of Frank Baker
 He has signed with the Upland club of the Delaware County League, which skirts the sombre city of Phila- delphia. For nearly two seasons now the daily baseball programme has hardly been complete unless it flashed one reeler of Mamaux's suspension or reinstatement. And each time AL bert has vowed he never again would wear a Pittsburg uniform.
 But Barney Dreyfuss has been obdu- rate and his latest edict was that Ma maux would either pitch for Pittsburg or he wouldn't. pitch at all. That is, the youngster would not be allowed to pitch in organized baseball. His leap, therefore, is the only way out for the young man. The Delaware county cir cult is a kind of semi-pro organization, without the pale of organized ball.

Chicago, Aug. 4-Roger Hornsby. the hard hitting St. Louis shortstop. is making a desperate bid for batting honors in the National league. Un- official averages released today and including games of "Wednesday show him batting 1928, five points behind Roush of Cincinnati, who is showing the way.

Four of his team. mates also are batting the 300 notch, the list including Clarke, second string catcher.

CUBS MAY TAKE
 TWO NEW HAVEN
 PLAYERS IN DRAF I

New Haven, Aug. 1.-Two, and per- haps three members of the New Ha- ven baseball club, will he included in the major league draft, according to announcement made last night by Mike Mccormack, former Connecti- cut leaguer, and now employed in the capacity of scout for the Chicago club of the National league. McCor- mack stated that he has already re- commended three players that have shown real ability in this league and who, in his opinion, are deserving of a chance under the bil, tent.
 The players who have been recom- mended are Pitchers Frank Wood ward and Harry Weaver and Center fielder Joseph Shannon. Manager Mitchell of the Cubs has already no- tified Mccormack that his recom- mendations have been approved as concerins Woodward and Shannon and that his club will make a bid for them in the secret draft which takes place at Cincinnati few weeks hence It develops, however, that a hitch has arisen over Weaver fnas- much as he failed to get the stamp of approval from Chief Scout Jimmy Sheckard, who has been covering the Eastern league during the past fort night Sheckard, it is reported, fig. ures that Weaver is a trifle ''too light'' for big league 1bmpany.
 The drafting of Woodward and Shannon will bring $2,500 into the coffers of the New Haven club, a DOT ton of which must be returned in the event that the players fail to make good.

STROMBOLl WINS
 AT SARATOGA AND
 SURPRISES CROWD

Saratoga, Aug 4.-Another come back that almost equalled that of iRoamer when he won the Saratoga sHandkcap,. marked the racing here ,yesterday. August Belmonts Strom- jbou, the sturdy son of Fair Play, which has been in the front rank of ;handicap performers for several years, was the hero of the occasion. Carry ing top weight in the Schpylerville HandfcAp, at 8. mile and ane eeighth, he struggled gamely through the stretch to win by d nose from James Buffers Capra-
 In anticipation of the big events scheduled for today, the meeting is gradually blossoming into it's full strength, both in the character of the horses engaged and in the attendance. There were many arrivals for the tests yesterday afternoon, among them INIT .and Ars. Belmont, who had the extreme satisfaction of seeing Strom-
 boil return to form and catch the ]; judges eye in the best race of the :. day. Baseball also contributed not
 able spectator, as Colonel Jacob Rup-
 h pert yesterday made his first visit to the Saratoga track in 10 years.
 With the Kenner stakes for three- year-olds and the United States Stakes for two-year-ohds as attrac-
 tions for today, the biggest crowd o1 ] the meeting is expected. but there was general disappointment when it was
 learned that Hourless had not beer
 named as, one. of the opponents oi
 Omar Ef1ayyaiR in stbe Kenner. The
 rexson given is that the Belmont Icrack is suffering from a skin dis
 disease. and it was stated that it woult

KILBANE ANXIOUS
 TO BOX LEONARD IN LONGER BATTLE


 New York, Aug. 4-Out in Cleve. land Johnny Kilbane is quoted as say ing that he hankers strongly for another bout with Benny Leonard. This time Johnny wants to try a longer route, say of 12 rounds. All of which is we'll and good, because a 12-round return match ought to net quite fat purse for Kilbane despite the unexpected ending of their last bout.
 However, in making his request for c return match Johnny is quoted as saying that he was not in, condition in his recent fight. As we recall reports from his training camp Johnny did a little bronco busting, played a little baseball, did some boxing and spent several hours in road work. Possibly he wants chance to take a few trial jolts from a pile driver in making ready next time.

ICOBB'S BRILLIANT ] PLAY AIDS TIGERS
 TO BEAT YANKEES

New York. Aug. 4-The Jungaleers from Detroit are taking on a fero- ciousness nowadays which may land them somewhere. They beat the Tanks yesterday at the Polo Grounds by 10 to 8. and did it in a manner which closely resembled an unfriendly attitude. The Kind of batting the Jennings clan exhibited would sooa have the fSox twins, White and Red. sitting up nights worrying if the thing should become a habit.
 Three Yankee pitchers Cullop, Shocker and Love, all felt the force of the Detroit bats. Of the 8 hits which fell, in a shower around the meadow, Ty Cobb had homer, George Burns a triple. double and a singles and Oscar Witt triple. It is litbas wonder that Hughey Jennings danced all over the green sward in glee.
 Cobb made the longest and the shortest hits of the game. His homer was cultivated in the seventh after Witt had tripled off Shocker. The rap went high and whistled its way to the left tcenter. field fence. Tyrus then performed a living denial that he is slowing up by skirting the bases just about as fast as Roamer travelled down the stretch ,at Saratoga.
 In. the ninth inning Cobb made his shortest hit. a bunt which rolled along the third base line about the length Of a cats tail. He did this just after Witt got on through Peck's errpr. Bobby veAch singled to short left, and scored Witt, Cobb pulling up at second. As !. Love famed Heilman, Cobb and Veach worked a double steal, Walter's s passed ball aiding the performance.
 George Burns soaked hot 1! grounder at Frank Baker. who tossed i to Walters to head off Cobb. who had started for the plate. Cobb chang ! ed his mind with remarkable rapidity and started Rfk Hf th5rSkwith Wal ters in hot pTAA. WahA had also 4 started for third. and there was big taeups in traffic at the dizzy corner 7 Cobb got to the base first and he did ' by right of conquest. But the Tanks I didn't know that, They didn't know [ whether Cobb or Veach- had lease

 While this puzzle was turning
 around in Walters mind, Burns start :. ed for second and Walters tossed the i ball down to head him off. The only i one in the ball park who noticed that
 the home plate was as deserted as l; Broadway after 1 o'clock was Ty i Cobb. While everybody was looking the other way Cobb fooled them all and scored.

DENY WHITE SOX
 LACK GAMENESS IN CRITICAL MOMENTS

This is the season Of the year when
 baseball teams begin to find their real
 place in league standings. In May the
 flashes have their inning; in June,
 teams that are playing over their
 heads, start feeling their oats. But
 it is in July and August that good
 baseball teams round into form, hit
 their real stride and shape up the
 pennant race. as it should be. For in-
 stance the White Sox, writes Billy
 Birch in the Chicago Herald.
 F Starting the season RowlanTs s swat
 experts were voted even money shots
 to win the American League flag.
 They had the class in 116, barring few minor weaknesses, but when Co.,
 miskey purchased the best young shortstip in the bushes and then grabbed a veteran but steady frs: baseman. the guessing was over. The Sox as an aggregation had only to strike an average somewhere near the weakest players individual mark to become sure things. This was an April prediction and July sees it com ing true.
 There is no question about the Pale Hose having the best American League team on a man-for-man analy- sis. Boston's Red Sox figure a close
 second. but in baseball parlance they are going whereas the Sox are | "coming.'' ' Rival critics, as we'll as rival man agers, like to speak of the Rowland CTS as a team lacking confidence in close games -shaky in tight spots.
 They say if Nthis were not true the Hose would be leading the league by 10 games now and that the race woud be over. Nothing was ever farther from the truth. Admitting the Rowlands should be in front farther than they are. the real rea-, son is not lack of gameness. but the | failure of Eddie Collins and Joe Jack | son to hit anywhere near their right | form.
 Another serious handicap was the failure of Red Faber and Reb Russell | to pitch winning ball right from the | start. Faber was i'll and in no condi- ton to hurl for nearly two months. ] while Russell has been until now get- l ting his good southpaw in working order Both are ready now, so figure l for yourself how much assistance they are going to lend Cicotte, Wil- l Hams and Danforth fram fnow. on. s- | So in spite of all their setbacks the Sox are even better bets now to com6 | through than they were when the preseason interviews were going the 1 rounds They have only Boston to fear, and for the first time since they became possible pennants winners the Rowlands have not lost their pep | when fighting the champions this seaz son.,

KAUfF GETS FOUR
 HITS AS M'GRAWS
 MEN DEFEAT REDS

Cincinnati, Aug. 4-The Giants srnothered Matty's slumpfng Reds in the opening game of the series here yesterday afternoon by 10 to {, /, and further increased their lead in the National League pennant scramble, as the Phillies and Cardinals both suf- fered defeat. McGraw's met batted Fred Toney out of the box in the fifth inning and also thumped the south paw offerings of Dutch ReutheE freely. t
 pounded out .15 hits, with Benny Kauff leading the assault. The little outffelder had a regular field day, as he made three singles. a triple, drew a base on balls, drove home two runs and scored two himself Needless to say, Bennie was quite satisfied with his afternoons efforts. Kauff is now hitting away over the 1900 mark
 Wally Holke came next with three safe drives. while Charles Lincoln Herzog( although he failed to hit safely, was the principal run-getter, crossing the plate three times after reaching first on felder's choice and two bases on balls. Davey Rob- ertson, who was back in his old po- sition for the Giants, struck two safe blows for the cause and scored run Much of the edge has been taken off the series on account Of the sud- den reversal of form of Mattys men. It was thought that the attendance for the four games would break all
 records. for this city, but yesterday not more than 5000 witnessed the seven straight defeats for the home | team. Part of the crowd left long be- fore the end of the one-sided game, as McGraw's men outp1ayed the Reds in all departments of the national game.
 The Giants jumped away to a flying start and were never headed, as Slim Sallee pitched effectively throughout.

New York, Aug. 4-Evidence of the fact that Manager John McGraw of the Giants is beginning to view with more or less apprehension the dust kicked up by the Cardinals and, Reds in their pursuit of his league leaders came to light when Pitcher Al Dema- rec, former Giants and later Philly and Cub player, was acquired at the expense of, Pete Kilduff, promising young infielder of the club
 i The acquisition of Demaree sig nalizes the fact that, McGraw feels need of additional pitching strength. Since George Smith was sent to Ro- chester and Jim. Middleton shipped back to Louisville only six veteran fingers remain on hand. The addi- tion of Demaree or at least of a good consistent man was needed.
 Incidentally the return of Demaree
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-08-04


 marks a rather peculiar turn in the administration. of the Giants. Only a few 'times in recent years has a player once turned loose been recalled. Charlie Herzog was bought back from Boston and second time returned to the Giants after his managerial escapade in Cincinnati. Red Murray came back after. having been sent to the Cubs, but Red John was not con- sidered as likely candidate for a regular berth when he was signed up a second time
 Demaree may now be entered in the list of lucky. players. Al was on hand in 1913 to get a split in the world S series money coming to the Giants Later he split one big, series purse with the Phillies. Now he will be in line for another cut int othe melon provided the Giants, win and the series lis played next fall

Cutting the Corners

the Planters had hard work beating them by 1 to 0. The Senators are not doing any hitting but have been getting good pitching.
 Dick Tuckey has been twirling good ball since he joined Bridgeport but hasn't happened to be in the @ box when the club was doing any hitting behind him.
 Roy Grimes continues to make his share of hits. He gathered two in the first pastiine and one in the sec- ond of yesterdays double header. The local first baseman is a brother of Grimes. the Hartford shortstop. It has been a long time since any major league club made it's players wait for their pay but the Chicago Cubs were notified that their salaries which were due on August 1, would not be paid until August 10. It has been a bad year for the Cubs finan. cially and as the White Sox have been in the thick of the pennant fight. Chi- cago fans have deserted the Cubs. It didn't take Johnny Kilbane long to get a hankering for more Of that
 easy money. He wants another match with Leonard now. and mod. festly suggests 12 rounds, probably fig
 uring that he could get twice as much as the beggarly $10,00O he received for the last affair.
 The White Sox further increased
 their lead in the American league race 1 by beating the Athletics while Cleve- land was downing the Red Sox. Cincinnati is no place for ball
