BEAN BALL CHARGE
AGAINST LEONARD
Maekmen Include Mays in Their
Enmity as Result Of Open
ing Series.

Dutch Leonard and Carl Mays are
charged by the Aackmen with using
the bean ball and extremely bad
blood Is shown. The Boston south
paw is said to have deliberately aim
ed at Thrasher's head in Wednesdays
game and yesterday Mays beaned
this Maelrman, as the following from
Jimmy Isaminger's column in the
North American shows:
"There is no place in baseball for
q. man like Carl Mays. the Boston
pitcher, President Ban Johnson
should give him the gate without de-
lay. Nays speciality is hitting oppes-
ing batsmen in the head. Unless he
is suppressed, one of these days a
batsman will be earted of to the
morgue.
Last year Mays tried to bean"
Cobb, and the Georgian threw his bat
at him. On numerous other occasions
Mays has been accused OF trying TO
hit players IN the head
'Tn the eighth inning yesterday,
while the Athletics were squirting,
Mays hit Trasher in the head. The
latter had a narrow escape from Sc
rious injury and possible death. He fell
as IL poleaxed and had to quit the
game. The Athletic players declare
that Mays act was Intentional.
Certainly the evidence accumu-
lating against Mays in the last three
years justifes drastic punishment.
"A man like Mays has no place in
baseball. He belongs In the German
army"
Ban johnson may be compelled to
make some decision in regard to the
performances of the Red Sox pitch
ers, especially Mays and Leonard.
The tide of hostility is rising rapidly
all around the American League.
