Calls Meeting
OF Am. League

CHICAGO, July 31-President Ban
johnson of the American League to-
night called special meeting Of the
organization to be held in Cleveland
Saturday to decide definitely on the
proposed early closing Of the season
and the staging of the world series
prior to September 1. There also will
be special meeting of the National
Baseball Commission in Cleveland at
the same time
Although the club owners of the Ma
tlonal League are scheduled to meet
in special session in New York Satur-
day, President johnson was advised By
August Hermann, chairman of the
National Commission and owner of the
Cincinnati Nationals, that he would
attend the Cleveland meeting instead,
and that two or three other National
League club owners would accompany
him.
President johnson said he was
strongly opposed to continuing base
ball after September l. as he believes
to play after that date would be
ment's orders. Six of the eight clubs
in the American League, he said. have
approved his suggestion to close the
championship season on or about Au-
gust 20, and then stage the world
series.
Clark Griffin, manager and part owner
of the Washington club, and Charles A.
Comiskey, owner Of the Chicago Amer
leans, are the only club owners op-
posed to the plan, Johnson said. and
added that Comiskey had agreed to cast
his vote witt. the majority.
CINCINNATI, July 31.-August Herr
mann, chairman of the National Base
ball Commission, stated to-day ne
would not attend the meeting of the
National League, called by John K.
Tener, president of the league, for
Saturday at New York.
81 am not going to the meeting OF
the National League, called by Tener,"
said Hermann. Some other National
Leagucrs will not be there, either Why
should we go? We have a tacit under
standing to keep right on with the
schedule till September /, and net to
worry in the meanwhile.
There isn't any reason why
worlds series cannot be arranged to
begin September 3 or 4. The men who
will play the worlds series games
would have been granted ten days or
two weeks by their draft boards in
which to find jobs. BY our system Of
finding essential work for the athletes
they Will be at work before that period

Twice
Beat Cardinals:
Get Sixth Place

Opportune swatting by Zachary D..
Wheat, who now has hit safely in nine
teen consecutive games, dragged down
the st. Louis Cardinals to a double de-
feat at Ebbets Field yesterday after
noon. BY winning the first in thirteen
innings, 2 to /, and the second in seven
rounds, by a 7-2 score, the Dodgers
climbed once again over the dissolute
Braves into sixth place in the league
standings
The first was bitter tussle between
Leon Ames on the one hand and Larry
Cheney and Dick Robertson on the
other. The veteran of hard luck fame
bowed 10 defeat only after putting up
a brilliant defence against the Dodger
sluggers. Cheney was chased in the
fifth for disputing too vigorously a de-
clsion by Umpire Moran.
Robertson went in "cold" to take up
the pitching burden. Nor was it too
heavy. He breezed along without being
touched for safe hit until the ninth
and was found for only four safeties m
IN the eight innings he twirled His
verdict over Hendricks's men was the
third he has earned in as many starts
against the Cardinals this season.
Both parties to the extra-inning dis
pute scored in the fifth inning. St.
Louis by virtue of Paulette's single and
Hornsby's triple to right centre after
two were out, and Brooklyn through the
medium of a single by Johnston, a two
ply wallop by Olson and Zach Wheat's
intield demise
O'Mara Catches SpectacuIarly
After that it was nip and tuck and
scoreless to the thirteenth. In the IN
term neither team often threatened to
unite the score. The Cardinals at
tackled viciously in the ninth and but
for sterling stab by Ollie O'Mara
would have broken the deadlock. Pau
lette led off with high line smash
which OMara speared by leaping spec
tacularly. Had the drive gone BY the
little third baseman from Kerry Patch
1T probably would have carried down
the foul line to the fence, as Wheat
was over toward centre field.
Hornsby, trying for an extra base
wallop, struck out, but McHenry drove
out long single that would have
scored Paulette if he had been held to
second or third, which was improbable
McHenry's was the initial hit of Rob-
ertson, and the youth promptly went
out stealing.
The Dodgers filled the bases in the
tenth, which Robertson opened with a
single. Johnston sacrificed. Fisher
tossed out Olson, Robertson going to
third Both Daubert and q. Wheat
were walked purposely and Ames
forced Myers to pop to Bronke for the
third out
Wheat Scores Win
The blow-off in the thirteenth was
to this tune: Wheat, first up, singled
and was sacrificed along by Myers.
O'Mara laced double to left and
Wheat tore home with the ball game
on his heels.
Burleigh Grimes won the second ar
gument. Jake May started against the
ex-Pirate, but it was Lefty SherdeIl
from whom Wheat, Myers ct al
whanged out victory. Again, strange
ly enough, the Dodgers did almost all
Of their scoring in the first and last
innings. Because of the late start the
nightcap went only seven innings by
agreement.
The double victory gave the Dodgers
three wins out of five games in the
series with st. Louis.

responsible for the victory scored by
the New Workers.
Huggins used three pitchers in the
first battle, Thormahlen starting and
Robinson and Mogridge being called on
IN turn for rescue work The Tigers
found Thormahlen wild and unru1y and
scored all their runs in the four inn
lngs he occupied the box. In the first
frame, after Bush had been retired by
Pratt, Jones walked and stole second
Cobb also strolled, and Veach was hit
by pitched ball, filling the bases. Witt
was the next to draw pass and Jones
was forced over the plate. A sacrifice
fly by Walker tailed Cobb.
In the second Thormahlen. who
seemed to be unable to settle down,
walked Stanage, the first batter, and
the latter went to second on Walters s
wild throw to first to catch him nap
ping. kalllo sacrificed, and when Peck
inpaugh fumbled Bush's grounder

ond
The Yankees made their first run in
the fifth, when Pipp tripled and count
ed on q wild pitch, but they made q
savage outbreak in the seventh and
hammered Kallio for four runs and the
victory.
Baker began the onslaught with a
single to centre. Pipp flied to Cobb.
Bodle hit safely to left, Baker pulling
up at second. Caldwell batted for Peck
and an singled to left, filling the bags.
Walters doubled to the same field, scor-
ing Baker and Bodie and sending Cald-
we'll to third.
Hannah hit for Robinson and was
tossed out by Bush, Caldwell tallying
and Walters going to third. Gilhooley
bunted safely, scoring Walters. Lamar
beat out an infield tap, but Pratt ex-
pired on roller to Kallio The four
runs were more than sufficient.
Ray Heating attempted to lead the
Yankees to a double victory, but after
walking the hrst three men to face him
IN the opening frame of the second
affair." Ray was removed by Miller Hug
gins and Robinson summoned to the
mound. Veach stung Robinson for a
two base blow to the scoreboard, on
which Bush and Jones scored. Hank
then steadied and prevented any more
counting for time.
The Yankees fell on Bailey in their
half of the fourth for two runs that
Sled the score, but the Tigers came
right back with another pair of tallies
in their section of the same frame, so
the harvest of the Higgins men went
for nought. AS good measure the Jun
gle Boys banged out two more runs be-
fore the hostilities ended. The Yanks
had no reserve left and died without a
