INDIANS TAKE SECOND
GAME FROM NATIONALS
GrIfnth's Clan Starts Rally in the
Eighth Inning.

cleveland. May I1.-Bobby Roth and
steve oNeil. of this copper skin clan
OF the sixth City. scalped Walter john
SON. the king pin twirier of the Ameri-
can League, in the second game staged
mere To-Day between Griff's Nationals and
Foni'S Indians. The Red Men won 4 to
q II was case of another big inning
being staged by these Indians, when
maj tallies were counted Lee Fohl's
plhch punchers were on the big end of
the count. Bobby Roth. who carries
around quite little Of Frank Bakers
home-run reputation, put through the
telllng punch in the fourth session that
netted the locals a trio of counts. while
steven oNeh contributed toward this
ruh-getting fund with a swat in the
seVehtn inning which proved the undoing
Of the Kansas cyclone and the washing
ton ball club.
The Nationals are beginning to be-
come accustomed to the art of coming
from behind, but so far on this inva-
sion OF the frontier. these late batting
rallies have fell short.
A trio OF two base blows coupled with
an error by Morton failed to help the
capital City crew over the rocky road
today and "Dorf'' Ainsmith killed the
last spark Of hopes in the ninth session
when he allowed Morton to catch him
tapping on the midway cushion.
Guy Morton, supposed to be a cripple
with a bad right wing drew the as
signment for the Indians. TO oppose the
smoke ball artist of the Nationals ~
Morton is troubled with any defect in his
salary wing he did not show it today az
the Nationals were not able to solve his
delivery unit! late in the fray, and this
tardiness in touching up big Guy" came
too late.
johnson worked along like that well
oiled machine until the fourth when he
started his own trouble by issuing a free
pass to Jack Graney. Chapman then hit
nlvVer ny to Morgan, but Ray in COM
ing In on the ball overran his stride and
Chapman was credited with the first
safe blow when he arrived undisputed
at the initial sack
The mighty Spoke" Speaker then at
tempted to advance the runners with a
sacrifice, which developed into a regular
base hit as his half swing sent a line
drive to Foster and all hands pulled up
at the bags safe. Bobby Roth and his
goodnight punch next presented them
selves as his two base clout to right field
showed the three Indians across the pan.
A wallop and timely swat by Turner
and O'Neil in the seventh put the Sixth
City square on Easy street
Turner hit a sharp grounder past Fos-
ter which Leonard knocked down and
when Ainsmiith missed a wild pitch he
took second base. Steve O'Neil then
came through with his blow to center
field and the veteran Turner beat Milan's
throw to the plate.
The only run getting inning OF the Ma
tionals' was the eighth when Johnson
started with a two bagger to center
field. Judge flied out but Foster arrived
safe and Johnson scored when Morton
dropped Guisto's throw Of "Fatima' s
grounder.

penn plans STADIUM
ON FRANKLIN field
BY H. c. HAMILTON.
United Press staff Correspondent

United Press Stan Correspondent
NEW YORK, Jan. 15.--An even
greater amphitheater than the mas
sive Bowl in which Yale's athletic
contests are held, towering out of
Woodlands Ravine at Philadelphia. is
probable for the University Of Penn
syIvania. Steps already have been
taken 20 assure erection Of the struc-
ture. Alumni, students and faculty
are working hard to make the dream
a reality.
Present plans for the structure call
for an amphitheater which will seat
100000 persons, many thousands
more than can be iammed into
Franklin field even by the greatest
affort.
The need OF a new stadium became
positive at the Pennsylvania-Cornell
football game last Thanksgiving Day,
when thousands were unable TO gain
admission.
To erect the stadium the usual pro-
cedure probably Will be followed.
Alumni will guarantee funds, re-
ceiving interest on the sums out OF
proceeds. This plan includes the ap-
plication OF all money over the in
terest 10 the furthermost OF athletics
at Pennsylvania.
Only one stadium in history. the
Circus Maximus, which flourished in
Rome. exceeds the seating capacity
Of the stadium planned for Philadel-
phia. The great Roman arena, au-
thorities say, seated nearly 100000
persons. some going so far as TO
place the figure at more than 400
600. The new Penn stadium would
have room to seat comfortably 100,-
900. with provision for Increasing
this capacity.

Batting averages for the last six
years show the balance between the
offensive and defensive sides OF base
ball has been destroyed and the bat
ting game is steadily losing out.
Some managers are recognizing
this and would willingly listen TO
plans to change the rules to restore
the balance.
II the advantage which the pitcher
now holds over the batter Is con-
tinued, the 300 hitter may disappear
from baseball.
In half a decade batting in the ma
jor leagues has fallen 21 per cent, a
tremendous drop, when it Is consid-
cred that every ballplayer in both
leagues is considered.
The composite batting averages Of
both leagues IN 1916 was fraction
over .247 compared to .26S in 1912,
and .267 a year earlier. This means
that less than one man IN four, who
faces the pitcher, hits safely.
What is taking the swat out Of
baseball?
What has destroyed the balance
between the offensive and defensive
angles of the game?
Different managers advance diff.
ferent reasons and advocate different
remedies
Batting had about reached its. eli
max in 1912.
In that year "A men batted over
800. Is OF whom reached the 1926
plane, batted $50 or better,

stantly better. Managers have bull
up a wonderful defense and last yeai
