MAYER TRADED FOR
JACOBS, PITTSBURGH

has been traded to Pitsburg for Pitcher
Elmer Jacobs, the deal being closed late
yesterday by wire. During the Pirates

Although Jacobs record with the Pl-
rates has not been so good as Mayors

satisfied with his bargain. Mayer mas

wears were i9i4, when he won q and
lost 10 games, and 1915. when the pills
won the league pennant and Mayer
won 2i and lost 10. In 1916 he won
7 and lost and last year won ii and

This year. but has been slipping badly.
Jacobs was with the Phillies several
years ago and sent TO the minors. me
pirates got him In 1916, but with poor
team behind him he Jared poorly. He
won only and lost 10 in 1916 and won
and lost 10 last year. He has pitched
good ball this season, but since the
Pirates have slumped he has suffered
along with the other pitchers. Moran
considers him a high-class man and
that he will make valuable pitcher
for his club.
Evening journal., 1918-06-20

Just about a year ago some OF the
more watchful battcrs OF the American
League decided that Eddie Clcotie's re-
markable pitching was due to some
thing more than just natural ability.
Time after time the ball Eddie used
was protested and some OF the balls
were sent to Ban Johnson with the re-
quest that he determine what Eddie
was putting on the sphere.
II was the birth OF the shine ball.
Although CicOtte repeatedly denied
that be was doctOrlng the. ball with
para1lne or any other substance. and
although Johnson refused TO take ac-
tlOn there was little doubt among
American League players and managers
that Eddie was getting away with
something.
This year the shine ball situation
grew so rapidly that finally Johnson
was forced 10 rule that umplres must
not permit the use OF a discolored ball
In the game.
This situation was brought about by
CLARK Griffith, an old time pitcher. who
has protested for months against the
use Of the shiny delivery.
Grin announced publicly that be had
instructed every pitcher on his stan 10
use the shine ball and all Of them with
the exception Of Johnson were getting
away with Il. Johnson refused TO use
the ball because he was afraid he could
not control H. and 20 use his own
words. Il don't want to kill anyone In
this league"
The effect OF Grlfrs ruse was FIRST
shown when Nick Altrock. a pitcher
who had not been on the mound FOR
seven years, beat Detroit with It. A few
days later Johnson acted.
From the limited use by Cicoite and
Danforth OF the Chicago club the shine
ball spread 10 practically every club In
the league. The pitchers who have
been using Il this year Include Fin
neran and Nfoeridge OF the Yankees,

BIG LEAGUERS
GO TO BETHLEHEM

"Chester's coming here TO clean us
up on Saturday, but they've got TO so
some to do IT," said Bill Gallagher,
manager OF the Harlan Delaware River
League team, this morning. "The
Chester crowd has sent word that they
are going TO bring the three Chinese
players from The Bridgeport, Connectl
cut, team. and that they don't care any
thing about league rules and regula-
tions. They say they are out 70 win
snd don't care how, so long a. they
beat us, but wen see. woll see"
President Clawson, OF the Harlan
baseball team, announced his intention
OF appearing az the game armed with
a megaphone. and that he Is going 10
"holler az them Chinese players and
make 'em sick. They are not going TO
beat US" he continued. you can Just
bet on that. They can bring their for
eign players along with them and any
one else they want TO-, but we win be
there with the goods"
What Gallagher and the head OF the
boiler shop at Harlan's says reflects
the tension 20 which the supporters Of
the local team are strung up over
the Chester game Chester leads the
league and Harlan is second, and the
outcome OF the game means much TO
either team. The Harlan wOrkmen are
roofing hard for the local bunch TO win
and IL the day IS favorable for ball
playing, It Is expected that Harlan Park

gates OF any since the ball season
opened.
Blemuller will remain az home for
The game for Chester. and will cover
the third sack for Gallagher's crowd.
Jordan will probably pitch and Kopp-
shaw VIII do the receiving. There may
be some other msneuvers by the Gal
lagherites, but there's nothing more TO
be said about these at this time.

much trouble at Bethlehem. Dumont
will twirl and Charity will be back
OF the bat. The remainder OF the team
