'BOLOGONY" SHAW GETS
RECORD OF THREE WINS
But George DumOnt Has His Usual
Run Of Tough Luck.

Well, "Bologony" Shaw arrived
again and George Dumont had his
usual share OF hard luck.
This sums up yesterdays double
bill which went toll in favor OF the
Red Sox in the first game, and 4 to ,
in favor OF the Griffmen in the sec
ond.
After the first inning OF the first
game Ernie Shore proved too adept
for the Griffian clan. George Dumont
got the worst OF the breaks. but the
Griffmen failed to hit Shore, which &C
counts for the single tally. A few err
rors OF omission and three OF commits
sion accounted, with a scattering OF
hits. for the four runs made by Jack
Barry's players.
James A. Shaw. possessed OF I'M
usual swift and fine control in the
shape OF hooks and mixed ones, was
better than Carl Mays all the way.
The second battle won by Shaw was
his third in a row, and breaks all ex-
listing records for the Pittsburgher.

League. Last season, while only
twenty-three years old, this clever
performer earned the home run title
Of his circuit and also batted in more

In Pipp and Baker the Yankees pos

success. Walter and Frank are to
New York just what Ty Cobb and Sam

years, before the wahoo barber began

Cobb, of course, but still he is a good
base runner. one capable OF getting
the utmost inch on both his own and

Pipp Does Good Work.
Like most OF the prominent Ameri-

left-handed batsman. He throws
with his left hand, a Qualification re-

I Kalamazoo, of the South Michigan
League.
After the college season Of 1912
Pipp decided to adopt the game as his
profession. He went back to Kala-
mazoo, Of the South Michigan League,
where, in sixty-eight games, he COM
piled a batting average OF .2TO. On
August 20 OF that year Kalamazoo
sold the young first baseman to the
Detroit club of the American League.
Pfpp made the Southern training
trip with the Tigers in the spring Of
1913. He did not take part in enough
games to qualify for the American
League averages before Detroit, on
July 20, sent him to its farm at Prov
idenee. Playing fourteen games at
hrst base for the Grays, Walter hung
up the fne batting average OF .444,
though he was 90 green in other re-
spects that Providence released him
to Scranton, OF the New York State
League, on August II OF the same sea
son.
Detroit Recalled Pipp.
- Detroit recalled Pipp at the close
Of the 1913 season. In 1914 Pipp was
again farmed out by Jennings. This
time he went to the Rochester club,
OF the International League. Under
Camel the big fellow found himself
In every sense OF the word. He play
ed 154 games for the Broncos, batting
.312 and stealing twenty-six bases.
Pip led the league in runs batted in
and in extra base hits. He was re-
called by Detroit on August 90, I'M
der the terms OF an optional agree
ment.
In the winter of 1914I5, when
Messrs. Rupert and Huston were ne
gotisting for the purchase of the
Yankees from the Frank ]. Farrell In

This morning a conductor was cap

a question or two.
How late are we. Cap?" asked Nick
McAltrock.
We're not late" was the suave reply.
Didn't We leave Washington half an

No. we're a special train"
Aren't we supposed to get to Cleve-

manly and most verbose conductor. Nick

Corporal Dean and ruminated. He shiv-
cred at the thought OF his recent narrow

SISLER AND McHNNIS
JUMP AHEAD OF IRIS
Cleveland Star Hitter Loses His A.
|. Batting Lead.

NEW YORK. May 1O.-A new rival
and one old plotter sprang into new
sports fame today as they wrested
batting leadership in the American
League from Iris Speaker, and start
ed an argument all their own over
who should carry the banner.
It's no new thing to see the name
Of "Stuffy" McInnis hanging around
among the first batters of the country,
but George Sisler, in spite Of his bat
ting prowess, had never seen his
name printed at the top OF the Ameri-
can League hitting column until to-
day. 49,
iris Went HItIesS.
Iris went hitless with eight times
at bat, according to his total yester-
day. Neither SisIer nor McInnls play
ed, so kept the averages they had ae-
cumulated beforehand.
The addition Of McInnis to the Sc
lect circle OF swat demons is some
thing OF a shock for those who pre-
dicted that when the Athletics first
sacker failed to hit his stride last
year he was slipping. 1t appears far
more likely that McInnis felt keenly
his association with such an outfit as
Connie Mack was perpetrating on the
American League, and just simply
keep up his old pace.
Hits In Every Battle.
Thrown this year with a hitting
club, McInnis has been breeding along
at a remarkable pace. Since the sea
SON opened the worlds smallest first
baseman has hit safely at least once
in every game played. That gives him
a record Of having hit safely at least
once in seventeen consecutive games.
Sisler is leading the league with an
average Of .405. McInnis is following
with .3S2, and Speaker follows with
373.
