 Burns of Giants Ahead in National /.

Chicago, June 16-For the first time since August, 1916, Ty Cobb is leading the American league in bat ting. Coming from behind with a rush, the Detroit star deposed Iris Speaker of Cleveland. to whom he surrendered championship batting honors last season. The Georgian's S average is 1858, according to figures which include games of Wednesday. Speaker is three points behind him. Cobb has driven out 61 hits in 47 games, including 12 doubles, nine triples and one home run.
 Ruth, the Boston, pitching star, who has won II out of IA games, also is hitting at a terrific pace, having an average of .415 for 16 games. Rus sell, a Chicago pitcher, is batting .343 for 5 games.

Return of Michigan
 to Western Circuit
 Will Hurt Fasteners

New York, June 16-The return of Michigan to the Western Collegiate Conference is likely to have mark ed effect upon Eastern college football schedules when the gridiron game is resumed in this section after the war. Because of her isolated position in her own territory Michigan has been obliged to look to the East for sev eral big games each season. The Wolverines have played against Penn sylvania, Cornell, Syracuse and liar yard in recent years and in every case the football pupils of Fielding Yost have proved to be strong attrac- tions and opponents.
 If Michigan follows the custom of the other conference colleges these yearly intersectional gridiron contests will have to be dropped. In the case of Cornell, Pennsylvania and Syracuse it will require considerable search to find an opponent capable of filling the breach made by the withdrawal of the Wolverines.

POOR TWIRL|NC
 LOSES CONTEST
 FOR BRIDGEPORT.

Springfield, June 16-Although Manager Krchen of Bridgeport changed his lineup yesterday he had mainly because the pitching was of poor quality. Oakley Woods, the tub by twfr1er, was an easy mark for Springfield. He was taken out in the sixth and Gingras replaced him. The big fellow didn't do much better than Woods.
 Andrews, a young infielder Krichell signed on his scouting trip, was sent to shortstop, and Bill Martin moved to third. That gave King Lear a chance to play his regular position at first. Andrews looked like a wonder in the field and although he didn't get a safe blow he hit the apple hard. The change worked well from field ing standpoint for Bridgeport turned in its first errorless game in many moons.
 Bill Powers started on the mound for Springfield. He was touched for a run in the opener and after he had yielded two passes in the second the tall boy was taken out. Johnny Barron of Bridgeport succeeded him. He allowed two hits and no runs but two double plays helped him out of difficulty.
 Jack Egan, another Bridgeport boy, was behind the bat for the Ameri- cans, and he performed we'll. Out fielder Corcoran, who had two hits, led Bridgeport at the bat. The score: / SpringfieId.

GIANTS AFTER MAMAUX

It is said Manager McGraw of the Giants is anxious to get Pitcher Ma mauX from the Pirates. He has dis cussed the subject of trade with Man. ager Callahan of the Pirates and there is a possibility of the deal going through if McGraw will hand over couple of pitchers in exchange.
 The case of Mamaux is a strange one. During the seasons of 1915 and 1916 he was regarded as a wonder but this year he has been a fizzle. He is still a boy and ought to be at his best. Some writers say he is un- able to get break on his curve ball Others claim he has never been effec- tive since he broke training. rules last season and was suspended. The Pi- rates need pitchers so badly that Man ager Callahan figures he couldn't lose in a trade. McGraw, on the other hand, is willing to gamble on Ma maux. He knows the stuff is there and the fact that George Gibson, the old Pirate catcher, is now with the Giants may have influenced the Giant manager to go after Msmaux. Gibson helped greatly in developing Mamaux when the youngster first joined the Pirates.

KID M'COY TRIES
 TO GET RECRUITS FOR THE MILITIA

New York, June 16-Kid Mccoy, better known in military circles as Sergt Norman Selby of the Seventy first regiment, is making strong plea for recruits. Mccoy makes a re- cruitins speech at some local club al- most every night. McCoy's gesticu- lations are distinctly Queensberry in style On facing his auditors the Kid cIenches both hands, and he emphasizes his points with every blow known to the manly art of self-de- fence.
 Come in now before they draft you!' shouts the speaker, letting go a left hook.
 "A man can, fight in the ring nor in the trenches unless he is trained (right uppercut) and the Seventy first will put you in the pink of con- dition (jab with the left). If we are to win this fight (feinting with the left) you men must be prepared to carry the Stars and Stripes to Ber- lin (heavy right for the full count Succession of corkscrews).

BROOKLYN LOSES
 IN I2TA TO CARDS

St. Louis June 9 16.-Cadore of Brooklyn had no license to lose yes- terday's 12-inning battle with the Car dinals. The fact that he was returned to 2 loser was not due in any way to hisstwirling, ii Galore showed the St. Louns fans lone of the best pitched games of ball offered around these parts this year. He had speed, a sharp curve, perfect control, and all the con- f1dence in the world.
 Casey StengePs failure to get Jack Smiths fly against the right field wall, which he dropped as he ran into the shadow of the stands, gave Smith luke two-base hit and allowed Meadows to score from first with the tying rum when StengePs relay hit the dirt and rolled slowly into the infield. This was in the sixth. fl
 The Cards then went ahead in the next round, but Brooklyn tied the score in the eighth.
 Great pitching by Galore prevented St. Louis from winning in the ninth after Miller, the first man up, had singled and reached third when Smith threw the ball to the grand stand. Hornsby and Cruise were purposely passed, filling the bases. Long rolled to Cadore, forcing Betzel, who ran for Miller at the plate.

Player Bartered For
 Smile By Owner of
 Southern League Club

Blinkey Horn in the Nashville, Tennessean tells a story of a player deal that beats the one about Roger Bresnahan selling Pitcher Booth Hopper to Dick Kinse1la for a bird dog. In this case a player was sold for a smile. The story runs like this:
 The Southern league club owners were meeting to discuss the woes of the Mobile club. Secretary Parker of Mobile was telling President Heine- mann of New Orleans that if Mobile could get a few players from other clubs it would try and pull through, and Parker suggested that New Or leans should donate Jimmy Eschen to Mobiles cause.
 For some reason or other this struck Heinemann as funny and he laughed.
 "It's no time to laugh; it's no laugh ing matter with us,'' said the Mobile secretary gloomily.
 "All right; I'll not laugh again" j" said Heinemann. If l do you can have Eschen."
 You mean if I can make you laugh you will give me the player? ?" asked Parker.
 That's the idea," came back from Heinemann.
 The conference of club owners bokre up and Heinemann and Parker took berths for home Early in the morning Parker stuck his head into Heinemann's berth, woke him up and said: Do you know what I dream ed last night? I dreamed Mobile had won the pennant."
 Heinemann broke into a. loud laugh. Parker reminded him of the prom ise and claimed the player. But Heinemann can still laugh for Eschen refused to report to Mobile.

the discipline was too severe and that Umpire Byron was equally at fault in the rumpus.
 The meeting of the National League Board of Directors is synonymous with a special meeting of the parent organization because all eight club presidents are represented. Tener in- timated that he was prepared to push the case against McGraw. The execu- tive deeply resents McGraw's alleged insinuations that the National league is being run aleng Philadelphia senti- ments Tener. 1t is said. feels the slap from McGraw the more keenly be- cause he shielded the Giant manager last winter when certain rival club presidents were bent upon investigat- ing the near scandal of the last Brooklyn-New York series at Ebbets Field last October.
 'I am willing to let my record stand beside that of McGraw.'' said Tener ''He accuses me, I understand, of spelling the Giants chances for the pennant by suspending him. That is not my concern in the matter. I only desire to suppress rowdyism. McGraw deserved all he got. I am sure the National league will back my stand in the matter.''

NELSON HOPEFUL OF HANDING BENNY
 LEONARD DEFEAT

New York, June 16-Johnny Nell son, the Philadelphia boy who is to face Benny Leonard at the Harlem Sporting club on Monday, has never been knocked out as yet and doesn't expect to be when he meets the new worlds champion. He foug ght Leon ard in Philadelphia a few months ago and he gave the brilliant New Yorker the hardest argument he ever had in Quakertown.
 Nelson is a hard hitter and is able to take all that comes his way. Ne1- son declared last night that he would take pains to be below the lightweight limit when he faces the champion in the ring on Monday night.
 "Pm not going to take any chances of putting over the crusher and not grabbing the title,'' declared Nelson. "I fought Leonard once, but it was only six-round affair and I didn't get fairly started. This time I'll have more chance, for there will be four more rounds, and I don't want to leave any chance for howl in case I land taps on the old button"

Philadelphia, June 16-President John K. Tener, of the National league, yesterday issued a call for special meeting of the Board of Directors of the parent major league to be held in New York next Monday. At this star chamber session the case of John J. McGraw suspended manager of the Giants, will be reviewed.
 From the talk of Tener and other. National league magnates who were here in the, interests of organized baseball's suppressed litigation with the stockholders of the defunct Fed eral league club of Baltimore, 1t is probable that McGraw will be called on the carpet to explain certain inter- views attributed to him in which he severely criticized the executive for discipline handed out in connection with McGraw's altercation with Um- pire Byron.
 McGraw, who struck Byron in the dressing room just after the close of New York's last game in Cincinnati was fined $500 and suspended for 16 days by President Tener. The New York club, through President Harry N. Hampstead, has filed protest against Tener's ruling. alleging that

PIPP'S HOMER !. HELPS YANKEES
 BEAT BROWNS

New York. June 16-John Frank lin Baker and Walter Pipp are com rades in arms and friends and all that ssrt of thing. Nevertheless. when J. Franklin made his first home run of the year at the Polo Grounds the other day Pipp permitted himself to become somewhat envious.
 He himself had not made a home run drive at the Brush Stadium this season and he felt i.1Shis inner con- sciousness that he was capable of driving the leather just as far as the Trappe Terror He therefore, at tended to this little matter esterday afternoon and by So doing greatly an moved Fielder Jones and Earl Ham ilton, and incidentally beat the St. Louis Browns before their battle with the Yankees was we'll under way. The final score was 5 to 1, but the three runs which Pipp accounted for would have been sufficient for victory.
 Bakers home run was made in the ninth inning. Pipp, being younger and more impetuous, made his in the first inning. When Frank drove the ball into the right field stand only one comrade was on base. When Walter walloped it into. the same gen. eral section of seats runners were on first and third. E f
 In spite of the casualties of the first frame, Fielder Jones permitted Hamilton, the southpaw of Gibson City. H., to go all the way. This shows how hard up Jones is for pitch CTS. Time was. when Jones would yank a pitcher off the mound if he did not like the way he looked at a batter let alone pitch to, him, but age has mellowed him, and besides, large portion of his hurling staff is in the hospital.
 The Yankees should have made nearer 15 runs than five. In six of the eight innings that they went to bat the first man got to base. Some fast fielding by the visitors helped to 1xtep the score down, and the Yankees got none the best of couple of de- cisions.
 Shawkey twirled for the home team and had the enemy well in hand all the way. Once or twice they started rallies which appeared threatening but these were always checked in time. Both pitchers hit over 300. Hamilton doing decidedly better at the bat than he did in the box.

HUGH JENNINGS OF
 TIGERS HAS BEEN 27 YEARS IN GAME

Hughie Jennings, manager or the Detroit Tigers, today celebrates the 27th anniversary of his entry into baseball, which he did on June 16, 1890 at Allentown. Jennings was born in the little mining town of Moosic, Pa., near Scranton. Early in life the future. baseball star had to go out and earn his living, which he did by digging in the mines. But Hughie was ambitious. After toiling all day in the bowels of the earth he went to school at night.
 Meanwhile, in his spare moments, he perfected himself as ball player and in 1890 he was given chance as an outf1e1der with the Allentown club of the Eastern league. He covered right field and did the job fairly we'll. Then he went to other Pennsylvania clubs and it was not until 1892 that he really began to show something. He had developed into good catcher and as such went to the Louisville Colonels of the old American lAssocia- tion,. John Chapman, manager of the team, paying him $175 a month. Hughie hadn't started to play before Chapman decided that he had been stung, and, as the Colonels' regular D1CCn0T Ildu dSdlA OSCA put Oll tIlO active list, Chapman decided to try out his "1emon'' on first base, where he had a vancancy.
 Jennings didn't like it very much, as he had never played first, but de- cided to try his hand at it. Hughie's success at first made Chapman open his eyes so wide that they almost popped out He was tickled to death. and later, when he got the chance, sent Jennings in as short stop. He played the position as if he had been born to it.
 In 1893 Jennings was sold to the Baltimore Orioles and it was with Ned Hanlons famous outfit that Hughie- made his reputation as the top-notch short stop of the game. John Mo Graw, manager of the Giants, was also a member of that team with Jen- nings. The latter spent the winter months at Cornell studying law and coaching the college ball team. He was admitted to the Baltimore bar shortly afterward. The game, how ever, attracted Hughie more than Aa1 the law and in 1907 he took over -see management of the Detroit Tigers. Under his able guidance the latter suc- ceeded in copping the pennant three times in a row.

 There is one player who is cut out for grenade thrower in the trenches. That's Al Walters, whose throws to bases afe as true as if the balls were shot from rifle. Al has spoiled many runs this. season by cutting men off at the bases.
 The Giants may not realize it, but they have Bennie Kauff to thank for a mighty lot. With the exception of this lively little person the McGrawites are pretty weak at stick work.
