GIANTS SUFFER BIG
JOLTS THIS SEASON
Injury to Ferd Schupp's Pitching
Arm Proves Hard Blow.
Considered More Serious Than Illness
of Larry Doyle, Nehoff's Broken
Leg and Drafting of kauff
and Barnes.

One of the most disappointing
strokes of tough luck that has fallen
to the lot of the Giants this year is
the injury to Scaupp's pitching arm.
The Giants have suffered several
hard kicks in vital spots, such as the
illness of Larry Doyle, Niehoff's brok-
en- leg and the drafting of Benny Kauff
and Jess Barnes.
But with all these breaks the men
o. McGraw might still be optimistic
If Schupp were only in shape to pitch
as he pitched during the 1917 cam
paign.
Classed as one of the most brilliant
young left-handers in either major
league at the close of the 1917 season,
Schupp seemed destined for a bright
career in the National league. But
early this spring while the Giants were
at Marlin on their training trip, the
young fork-hander hurt his left Shout
der while tipping some fast shoots
across the pan during a practice ses-
sion, and since then he has not been
able to take his turn in the box.
Figuring that Schupp has had more
than two months of real baseball
weather, coupled with the advice of
no less a parsonage than Bonesetter
Reese to help him whip his wing back

"It reminds me of the old days when

who ever won 500 games, as he sat in
the press box at Cleveland and watch

Cleveland and Babe Ruth the same

again himself.

THREE SACRIFICES IN INNING
Peculiar Happening in Recent PhiIa
delphia. Cincinnati Game-An-
other UniquaaS nning.

1t seldom happens That three sacri-
flee hits are recorded in one inning
the thing doesn't seem possible-but
such was the case in one of the recent
Cincinnati-P Philadelphia games. In the
eighth inning of this game in Cincin-
natl, Burns bunt, a legitimate Sacri-
fee, and so recorded, was thrown to
third instead of first and intercepted
nobody. Fitzgerald's bunt was chucked
wild by Schneider, and nobody was put
out. Stocks long fly to left made the
third sacrifice of this freakish inning.
This peculiar happening, however, is
not as odd as singular feature in
recent game between the Yankees and
Browns In this game a base hit was
made in the fourth inning and yet Al
len Sothoron pitched but three balls.
Del Pratt was the first batter up. He
hit the first ball pitched to center for
a clean single. Walter Pipp hit the
first ball pitched to him to Jimmy Aus
tin and Pratt was forced to second
base by Austin's throw to Joe Gedeon.
Ping Bodie then hit the first ball
pitched to him to Austin and a double
play resulted, Gedeon and Sisler MAX

MISS TlLLIE WALKERS BAT
Red Sox Made Big Mistake When They
Traded Hard Hitting outfielder
to Athletics.

The Boston Red Sox, it seems, made
fatal mistake when they traded Out
fielder Tillie Walker to the Athletics.
Manager Barrow is vainly trying to
find q hard hitter to supplant White
man in left field. Meanwhile Walker
is leading the American league regu-
lars in batting.
Walker, in the Boston outfield just
now, would help the team to keep In
first position. Last year, however, this
player didn't come up to the mark I'M
der Jack Barry and for that reason
Barrow naturally moderated his abil-
ity.

Carl Mays is the first American
league pitcher to score victories over
every other club in his league.
Eddie Burns is catching splendidly
for the Phillies and ranks as one of
the cleverest backstops in the league.
Iris Speaker is getting many hit
but his collection is not as large as
it generally has been at this stage of
the race.
Incidentally John McGraw hasn't
had fight this year. The officials of
the National league will soon start
an investigation.

Harry Hooper is the leading run

as he is permitted to hit in his own
style. The Cubes hitting.
Now and then Babe Ruth has to
stop at first base after hitting safely,
but generally Ruth simply touches his
toe to first and hurries along.
The departure of Claude Davidson
was bitter blow to Connie Mack,

University player would develop into
a big league star.

ten the fine work Nick did for him a

The Cleveland Indians now shape
up as the best team in the Western

should be in the pennant chase down
to the finish of the season.
Ping Bodie isn't the fastest person
in baseball, but Ping gets there just
the same, and he's always hustling.
This former White Sox player is pop
ular with the Gotham fans.
There is not a more graceful out
fielder than Joe Wood of the Cleve-
land Indians. The one-time pitching
star handles every ball that comes his
way with the greatest ease.
Catcher O'Farrell is among the new
draft men. He became twenty-one
last October. His name is closer to
the top than Hollocher's, and it may
develop that he will be called into the
army first.
Mickey Doolan, old as the hills and
