IN IMPORTANT GAMES

The white OF the White sox. and the
red OF the crimson hosed athletes OF Bos-
ton. will be blended today in the cru
cialest" OF the crucial series those two
clubs have appeared in this year. Turn
ing into the stretch the two American
leaders are separated by only two
games. The advantage lies with the Red
Sox, although they have failed so far
this season to exhibit any decided abil-
Ity to rend the Comiskey hired hands.
They are playing at home and appar-
emily have reached the top OF their
stride. They just finished a clean sweep
OF five victories over the Browns, while
the White Sox were stopped three times
in six engagements with the Yankees.
Added to this advantage Is the fact
that the champions are scheduled for
the home field after the Chicagoans
leave. and the latter will have Just two
legs finished on a ive-leg trip.
Temporary respite appears to be in

GRFFS TAKE LIBERTY
WITH INDIAN HURLERS

CLEVELAND, Ohio. July 3o.-For
the second time this season W. John
son has been surprised almost to
death. On April u when Johnson
was hurting against Connie Mack's
Athletics, his teammates gave him a
six-run lead. In the game transferred
here from the Capital yesterday the
Griffmen went out and landed two
runs in the opening session.
They landed again In the fifth in
their turn at bat and when all the
runs had been counted they were
found to have amassed seven. These
were enough for the immortal Walter.
who breezed along with the game
well in hand and hung up his second
victory in a week.
The Indian pitchers proved pie for
the Griffmen Lambeth, Coumbe and
Gould were hit freely by the Griff-
men, seven OF their thirteen blows
going for extra bases. Johnson got
three doubles out of five times at bat.
while Judge got a single, double and
triple out OF four times up.
Johnson pitched great ball until he
got a commanding lead and then took
things easy. Here are the figures:

CONNIE DOYLE DEFEATS
DEAN MATHEY IN MATCH

Washington tennis followers firmly
believe the ranking committee OF the
q. 8. n. L. T. A. made a grave mis-
take when II placed Dean c. Mathey,
the former Princeton University star,
at No. 10 in the list and Connie Doyle
at No. IL.
Doyle and Mathey got together at
Columbia Country Club yesterday
afternoon again and the local came
on victor by 6-3, Pc. 60 and IS.
II was the third time this season
that Doyle has gotten out In front
of the visitor.
In justice to Mathey II must be
said that his tennis practice is con-
fined to what he is able to get IN on
Sundays at Columbia. Doyle, on the
other hand, has had very little prac-
tice this summer.
Yesterdays match found both play
ers somewhat erratic, but showed
conclusively that Mathey is one OF
the eleverest players in the country.
Doyle's service had the Princeton
man at sea most Of the time. The
players were heartily applauded by
q large gallery despite the informal
tty of the engagement.

KID JAMESON IS
MAKING GOODFOR
CONNIE'S OUTFIT

Since the halfway post has been
passed the Athletics have added two
young players, who have strength
ened the team considerably, writes
Jimmy Isaminger. in the Philadelphia
North American.
They are Outhelder Charley jamie
son and Infelder Joe Dugan.
Mack purchased Jameson from
washington just before the Athletics
began their recent Western trip. lie
was put in right field and made good
from the start
1t doesn't come under the head OF
news to say that the Macknen have
had no hrst-class right fielder since
the days of Danny Murphy, IL you
except the occasional times nat Amos
Strunk was shifted there. Siovenly
fielding and poor throwing were gem
orally the principal defects in the
successors OF the elder Murphy.
Eddie Murphy couldn't field or
throw, and his sale to Chicago didn't
weaken the Athletics a bit. Then fol-
lowed long list OF others who came
and disappeared. Fans have forgot
ten some Of them. but the regulars
will recall Shag Thompson, Stell-
bauer, Bankston. Don Brown, and
Lloyd Davies. This season Thrasher
and Lee Gooch tried the post III right
and both were fiivvers.
Bill Johnson had q chance, but
couldn't hold the place regularly. al
though Connie has retained him. for
he still thinks that he will make a
valuable player.
Jameson has done better than any
OF the half score or more who have
tried to NIL the position. He can field
and throw in the frst place, and has
shown good form at the bat. As long
as he keeps on at the present gait he
will not be disturbed.
Dugsn is the Holy Cross player that
all scouts fought to land, only TO dis
cover that he was a Mack chattel
Connie didn't want to play Dugan
regularly, but was forced TO do so
when Witt was hurt. Wits in
juries have mended. but Dugan has
been covering the patch so compe-
tently that Connie has decided 10 keep
him there.
The best tribute that can De paid
to the youths is that there was
marked brace n the Athletics as soon
as they Joined them.

NOT ALL BIG SHOW STARS
BEGAN WORLDBEATERS

Fans have the wrong idea Of what
is expected Of a recruit just break
ing into the big show. They expect
him to start of like a cyclone, and
If he doesn't make good want him
shunted back to the minors. Many
youngsters start of Ike whirlwinds
and then develop into flivvers Of the
worst variety. Some stars, like Ty
Cobb and Larry Lajoie, hit over 800
from the start, but Cobb and Lajoje
are exceptions in everything.
Take for instance Walter Cruise OF
the ST, Louis Cardinals. at present
leading the National League. He
made three trips up to the majors
before he stuck. Eddie Collins bat
ted ITO his nrst season. playing in a
half dozen games. The next year
he hit about 100. but Connie Mack
refused to lose faith In him. In 102
games Collins first year he hit -273.
Since then he has gone seadily above
300, and probably should again this
year, for he is rapidly coming out of
his slump.
Bill Killifsr of the Phillies was
with che st. Louis Browns IN 1910.
HC -.. Just .124 in "a games and was
tn loose. Today he is one OF the
ha. hitting catchers in the game.
This speaker hit only .220 his frst
season out, zoos, but his fielding was
so 0ood the Red Sox kept him Last
year with Cleveland he even beat out
Ty Cobb, who had led the league for
nine straight seasons.
Joe Jackson was turned down by
50 keen a Judge as Connie Mack. al
though the Athletics leader never
doubted the shoeless ones ability.
Jackson. however. while never be-
coming a smart ball player, picked up
enough knowledge OF the game to
make his hitting worth while.
There are many more examples OF
the slow starting stars and just as
many OF the youngsters VINO break
in like world heaters and soon fiivver.

SCOUTS ARE WATCHING
BALTIMORE PLAYERS

While the Baltimore Orioles were
battling at Newark, N. J., in a double
header yesterday, big league scouts
were watching. Connie Mack, Of the
Philadelphia Athletics, and Joe KEEL
ley, scout for the New York Yankees,
devoted considerable attention TO the
performances Of Bill Lamar, Turney
Barber, and Herbert Thormhalen.
Lamar is said TO be slated for the
Yankees.
Thormhalen shut out Newark in
the first game, 6 to o, giving but six
hits. Bill Lamar was at bat nine
times and drove out three triples and
two singles. Barber was up nine
times and got two singles AND a
triple.

PLAYERS MAKE
POOR GRENADE HURLERS
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

81 hate to discourage you. but
your professional baseball players
will make bloomin' poor bombar-
diers, unless they go through a lot
of training" is the way Lieut.. Les
ter Elliott, of the Australian army,
expresses the situation, following q
mornings exercise with the Cleve-
land Indians.
1--WE been told that American
baseball players expect to raise
havoc against the Germans because
Of their training in baseball, but that
training is all wrong.
zone OF the training stunts for the
soldiers in the intensive camps in
France requires that the bombers
shall throw almost without a rest for
two hours. When you consider that
each bomb weighs from IN to ga
pounds, rather heavier than the
American baseball, you will see the
difficulty facing Americans who
throw their baseball with q snap and
overland.
THE best motion for bomb throw
ing is a sort OF half bowling motion,
do d5C0 ia 6hblASL SSANSAA
do the throwers see their target. An
observer, looking through q periscope,
keeps them informed OF their luck IN
dropping the deadly bombs into the
enemy's trench. The throwers have
merely to keep the storm OF bombs
going over their own parapet and into
the enemy's trench.
Throw Arms Away.
AFTER looking at the baseball play
ers tossing their light baseball
around, am convinced that not one
will be able to throw a bomb twenty
feet. II they insist on this baseball
motion, they will throw their arms
away and be useless.
However, every player with whom
I talked appeared interested and most
intelligent have no doubt at all
but that the players will soon pick
up the new motion and be quite as
effective as any other force on the
firing line"

last week with the Cleveland In
dams, and put them through q short
drill In grenade throwing. II Is
unlikely that any more practice will
be INDUCED In, however, until the
season ends. Throwing arms are too
precious in the big league.
Red sOx Are Dangerous.
The Red sox are still dangerous
contenders for lhe II pennant in the
American League. Within the past
week they have closed the gap be-
tween themselves and the leading
White Sox until today only two
games separate them.
With the single exception OF BoE-
ton the fans IN well nigh every city
in the circuit are pulling for Comis-
keys boys to win the banner. They
have nothing against the champions.
but II Is generally felt that the
Boston fans have had enough of
worlds series joys and that is It
time for the nag to 80 to some other
city.
Then again many feel that the West
should get some OF the gravy. Not
since Detroit won In 1909 has a West
er nclub in the AL-erican League won
the pennant. The White Sex have not
won it since 1906. when they defeated
the Cubs for the big title
Rowland Ia Weaker.
Clarence Rowland is not as strong
a leader as Jack Barry, and It is on
this account that many believe the
worlds champions OF 1916 will repeat
In the American League and make
the fight against the Giants, who
seem almost sure to win the National
League pennant
The Mackmen were pennant win
ners in 1910, 1911, 1913, and 1914. The
Red Sox COPIED in 1912. 1918, and
1915. New York and Washington
have never won the nag. nor has
Cleveland or St. Louis. Not one OF
these four have a chance Of winning
this year. Detroit will hardly get
into the running. Therefore, most
fans are hoping the White Sox deliver
the goods and march over the line In
front.
