SOME AFTERNOON
FOR FRAzEE LADS
They Cop Two From Gifs,
One a Record Breaker.
SHORE ENTERS HALO MOB
Pitches NO-Hit NO-Run, NO-Man-
Reach-First Contest.

BOSTON, June 24-It was some af-
ternoon at Mr.. Frazee's ball yard, that
is. for the local folks, there being alb
solutely nothing about the twin bill
that interested Griff and his Griffmen
to any maddening extent, unless 1t
was that effort of Gee Babe" Ruth,
the white hope OF Ivy street, to per-
mAnently erase Brick Owens, the
dashing arbiter.
Ernie Shore pitched no-hit, no-run,
no-man reach-first-base game, but as
that was on the Griffmen they did
not go into ecstasies over It. Locally
It is regarded as the greatest thing
that has happened since the night the
tea was thrown into the drink.
The Griffmen were blanked twice,
4 to o, in the curtain raiser and to o
in the after piece. 1t would have been

the Red Sox not gathered three has
In the eighth inning and running up
another run that they did not need,
and also spelling some pretty para
graphs that some smart local parag-
raphers had written concerning two
4to-O games. These ball players are
always cumming up something. They
tomorrow. as they may need It then.
Too Much Control.
Doc Ayers pitched in the first game.
He had great control, the Red Sox
banging him for nine hits. Doc had
too much control. IT seemed. In the
second bill a similar number OF hits
were assembled off old Chain Light
ming johnson, the Kansas Cyclone,
as they call him in our suburbs.
Getting back to Gee Babe" Ruth.
1t was in the first that the best two
handed puncher in the Fenway ran
amuck. He said that Owens had missed
two on him, and told him to keep his
eyes open. Brick told him that he
was Grabbing early, and II he did not
get back and pitch he would run him
out
You run me out and will bust you
in the nose" said Babe, who is al
ways most particular about his gram
mar.
You are out now" said Brick, and
then Babe rushed in, Thomas being
unable to prevent him from starting
the attack.
His Right Landed.
He swung twice, his left missing,
but his right landed behind Bricks
port Size ear. The blow did not hurt
Owens. but Ruth had to be dragged
off the field, while the soldiers,
peasants. ct all, groaned. and. well
they might, for IL now appears that
after Ban writes a supreme court de-
cision, Babe will be nothing more
than a mere spectator at the ball
games for some time. 1t would serve
him right II Harry Frazee made him
pay his way in, too.
Shore pitched brilliantly. Two good
catches by Lewis, a one-handed pick up
by Scott and a smart play by Barry
helped the Carolinian a lot He was in
rare form.
Morgan only One.
Morgan was the only man to reach
first in the opening encounter, being
passed by Ruth, but in the second
grapple the Senators got on frequent
ly, but could not get around. going
runless in the first, although they
made three hits off Leonard.
Hooper's throw to Gardner got
Morgan trying to reach third from
first on Milan's hit.
Milan and Rice made several neat
catches and Morgan did some good
work at second base, but with the
stick the Griffmen were not there.

TALKS ABOUT RAY BATES
b LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

The day has passed In the big
leagues when. to make good. = player
had only to be . good batsman. Now
adays he needs more than that. He
needs speed. most Of all, and At least
fair fielding ability"
These are the words OF Connie
Mack. the Astuts leader Of worlds
champions. spoken last week before
leaving Washington with his ball
club. He elaborated q bit on the idea.
too.
Take Bates. my third baseman."
continued Connie. Bates IL q good
hitter. quite good enough for any ball
club anywhere. But that cannot keep
him with q winning club all BY itself.
He must display certain fielding skill
and speed to remain
Tanks He'll Stick
However. as regards Bates. think
he'll stick for the reason that he 10
young. wants to learn, and does learn
rapidly. He il not now q real star.
but he has q chance. That's why
have him on my club.
Going back over the teams u
other days. Il Is easy to Eame this or
that slugger who held bis place only
through his hitting. It's not necessary
to name them. but they are fairly nu-
meroua
"Such q thing was all right then
The game wasn't quite as close q hg-
uring proposition then as II IL now.
Today q sluEEer needs something
more than mere hitting ability to stay
long in the major leagues"
Future Rather DARK
The immediate future OF the pro-
fessionAl baseball player Is rather
dark.
Even II the major leagues are not
hit hard by the draft, their fans are
sure to be. All the larger cities Of
the land viii BE called Upon to fu--
nish many Thousands OF young men
for the new national army. and these
young men are followers Of ball
clubs.
II the gate receipts fall off much
more, salary cuts for those players
still In the line-ups will have to be
experienced. This will be far from
acceptable. so many big leaguers hav-
ing tasted the sweet plum OF exorei-
tant pay during the Federal League
troubles.
MY Not ODem FaE2.
It has been suggested that the
major leagues suspend for q year. Ban
johnson has insisted, and he has the
support Of the National League, that
the American League will play ball
next year. but a movement Is sure to
get under way during the coming win
ter for a halt in the program 1t il
possible that the parks viii not open
next spring.
With campaigns decided upon.
however. long and costly training
trips may be abolished Only when
blessed by the best OF luck do ball
clubs cellar expenses on their training
trips. With no prospect OF making
fortunes during the summer. the clubs
have already begun considering re-
trenchment in the matter OF training
trips.
