old REB RUSSELL IS
TOO MUCH FOR BOSTON
Chicago White Sox Take Third
Game of Crucial Series by
2-to-0 Count.

Chicago, Aug. 21.-Old Reb. Russell,
with his crooked bread-winner, lame
ana unsteady, worked his hoodoo over
the worlds champions here today.
Reb was not considered strong enough
to battle the Athletics, but he was
chosen to hurl against the champions
and stood them on their domes.
Ruth was on the firing line for
Boston and pitched a great game, but
not great enough to shoe away the
jinx. Babe isn't a miracle worker.
Final score was Sox 2. Boston 0.
Russell helped win his own game in
the seventh inning when he singled
scoring Swede Risberg. The Scandi-
navian short fielder had reached first
on a pass and second on Agnew's
wild throw.
The first Sox run came in the sixth
and resulted from Eddie Collins hard
line smash to right. 1t scored Nc
Mullin, who had bounced a single off
Ruth's glove. Collins pulled one for
the book by remaining at second and
watching Hooper field the ball. Third
base was uncoveredand he could easily
have made it a triple.
Phenomenal fielding plays by Happy
Felsch and Risberg were features of
the game. Hap ran into left for
Lewis hard line drive in the eighth
inning, rObbing him of a triple. Hap
was going so fast that he sprinted al
NEST to the left field bleachers. Ris-
berg prevented the champions from
scoring a run by pulling a remark
able play in the first inning with run
ners on first and third and two gone.
Hooper slammed the pill over sec
ond. The Swede covered the ball and
made a back hand toss to Collins at
second forcing Lewis and retiring the
side. The score:

PROVIDENCE NAMED
FOR LOCAL FRANCHISE

Providence, Aug. 21.-Because Presl-
dent Ban Johnson paid flying visit
to Providence last week a story has
been started here that the Washing
ton franchise will be moved to the
Rhode Island capital for next year.
But the American Leagues boss still
insists that Washington will remain
permanently in his circuit. If at any
time johnson should decide to with
draw Griff's team from the National
Capital, however. Providence would
not be selected. Toronto, the best
paying city in the International
League. would have the call beyond
question of doubt.
AT present Johnson favors a new
major league comprising Providence,
Toronto. Buffalo, Baltimore, Louis
vile, Indianapolis. Milwaukee and
either Kansas City or Columbus. Per-
haps Big Bans visit to Providence
had something to do with this prob
lem.

Tor the District amateur champion
ship. At a meeting OF the presidents
and managers OF the three leagues
which have been playing amateur
baseball this season, at The Wash
ington Herald Office last night, II was
agreed to play a series under the
Amateur Baseball Association.
The Amateur Baseball Association
OF the District has not put much time
IN ON boasting the amateur game this
season, but the officers present agreed
that it was a hard year for the anna
teur game, and that the officers OF the
association could not help the leagues
under the existing circumstances
The members Of the three Leagues
last night drew up a number of sug-
cestions which they will offer TO the
association at the meeting to be held
at Spalding's store on Fourteenth
street on Thursday night. These sug-
gesions were made so as to help the
association officers over some OF the
burdens that 1t takes TO arrange a Sc
ries Of this kind.
The suggestions which will be pre-
sented ask that the commission con-
slider the Terminal Railroad Y. NJ. e.
A. grounds as the playing field for all
the games; that the umpires that have
worked in the three leagues this sea
son be named as officials in these
game; that each club be compelled to
play th- other tiwec during the Sc
ries. and il possible that an intercity
SERIES be played between the winner
OF this series and the representative
from Richmond and Baltimore.
The umpires who finished out the
season in the three lea gues are: Dick
Woodward, Terminal Railroad Y. NJ.
c. A. League; Johnny Hurd. Rosedale
League, and Vic Gauzza, Capital City
LeagUe- Those present at the meet
ing last night were: President G. IT.

Conversation is vexation;

One Red Triumph.
While the budding Reds under Matty
will not reach any pennant height
this season they are once pointed for
distinct honor, provided the festive
dope doesn't kick over the traces,
which is one of the best things it
does.
This will come in the elevation OF
Eddie Roush to the batting premier
ship of his circuit. Last season Hal
Chase, another Red, led the league,
and If Roush comes through Cincin-
natl will have two leaders in success
sion.
Back in the old days, when the Reds
had Mike Donlin. Joe Kelley. Bid
McPhee, Sam Crawford and others,
they carried more than their share of
heavy artillery. But until the last
year or two they have run shy in
this respect. Roush isn't likely to
be beaten, for he not only can hit, but
he is fast enough to pick up many an
intield base hit when things are not
coming too well. 1t has been quite
spell since the National League had
a $50 batsman. Jake Daubert finished
with exactly $50 in 1913, while the
Great Zim had .372 in 1912. They were
the last of the .3J0-and-better boys.
Dave Robertson, OF the Giants, made
a noise like $50 for several consecu-
tive moments last season. but Dave
soon ceased firing and came back

WINTER RACING MAY
BE DEAD In SOUTH

New York, Aug. 21.-It begins to look
as If there will be no winter race
meetings in this country next winter.
The sport at New Orleans seems to
have died natural death, due to the
successful crusade against the fair
grounds. Juarez probably will remain
closed, while there will be no racing
at Hot Springs until some time in
March, il then. Unless New Orleans
and JuareZ suddenly come to life,
therefore. Havana will monopolize the
sort during the latter part of December,
January and February. II. d. Brown,
the promoter of the big Cuban track,
has laid plans for a winter campaign
to cover period of ninety-five days.
As result, many horsemen intend to
race in Havana for the first time and
Brown seems to be assured of a sue
cessful meeting. The Havana race
course is one of the finest in the world.

MAROONS Land TITLE

Defeat Truxton in Final Game Of
Second Series, 4 TO O.

Maroons won the championship in
the ROsedale League yesterday by de-
featuring the TruXtOn Athletic Club in
the final game OF the second series by
count Of 4 TO 0. Ray BisChoff was
on the mound for the winners and
hurled alright ball, letting the Trux-
tens down with one scratch binglc.
Opposed to Bischoff was PfeiI Of Clar-
endOn fame who pitched great ball
until the seventh session when he
blew with his teammates and prac-
tically gave the game to the Maroons.
1t was a pitchers battle pure and
simple. Hurd doubled to right field
in the fifth inning and tailed the
first counters on Bischoff's drive to
center field. In the seventh Steele ar
rived safe on a hit and went to second.
Eiseman was safe OH an infield hit
Noreland laid the ball down and all
hands were safe. Braund then hit to
Mccarthy who threw bad to the plate,

lOsStu from SKY SCIdper. hOuSn may
be the Coming Cobb of the Nationals,
so far as batting is concerned.
Pitching and Pcnnants.
Dear Sir-lsn't this true? Viz: The
MaCkmen won a pennant with a slug
ging team: but they also had Bender,
Plank and Coombs in the box; the
White SoX once won a pennant with
a hitless team. but they had Walsh.
AltroCk and Doc White; the Red Sox
last season had only a normal team
at bat, but they had Ruth. Leonard.
Shore and Mays; the old Cubs had a
great all around team. but they had
Brown, Overall. Reulbach and Pfeis-
ter. In other words, all the pennant
winners-Or nearly all-haye not de-
peEded upon batting or fielding, but
on pitching. 1t has been the pitching
that told the story. The Tigers last
year had the greatest run-getting
team i'm the business and a very strong
defensive team in the field, with Bush,
Young. Witt. Cobb. Eeach. etc. But
without the pitching they We're lost.
So in finding the trouble with the New
York Yankees. il is simply this: They
have six or seven fair pitchers, but no
two or three stars to go out and win.
JUST \ FAN.
The only way to develop a good
pitching staff Is to have three or four
dependable men and use them straight
through, with rare intermissions. The
big mistake is too often made in at
tempting to work six or seven pitch
ers. Eight star pitchers on a club,
worked every eight days, would be in
effective and incompetent by June.
Breaking through the line" has
been game taught to young Ameri-
cans for good many years. And
they have been fought that no line is
impregnable to the proper and con-
centrated assault. The c. Z. kindly
observe and take notice.

deposits exist there; also that they
can be exploited in the same manner
as on land, by drilling.
"The limits OF the subsea oil area
can be determined down TO depth oil
