ANSWER IN PERRY CASE.
Chairman Hermann Tells Court
Merely of National Commis-
sion's Action.

CLEVELAND. July 1s.--August
chairman of the national
base ball commission. in common
pleas court here yesterday. filed his
answer to the suit of the Philadelphia
American League base ball club
against members of the commission
and the Boston National League club
to restrain them from interfering
with the services of Pitcher Scott
Perry.
In his answer, which was brief, Mr..
Hermann says the commission was
created under a national agreement
for the purpose of settling base ball
disputes and other controversies and
contends that the majority of the
commission members awarded title to
Perry to the Boston club. He states
that all rulings of the commission in
such matters have been considered
inaI and makes no further answer.
Perry, now with the Philadelphias.
had been claimed by the Boston Ma
tionals and was awarded to the latter
club by the. national commission.
When the Athletics played here 1rs
June Manager Connie Mack obtained
an Injunction restraining the COM
mission and the Boston club from in
terfering with Perry.
Perry was purchased by Boston
from the Atlanta Club last year, par
tial payment having been made. After
seventeen days of bench duty" Perry
left the Boston club. He was not on
the Boston reserve list last winter and
Manager Mack signed him as free
agent, and according to Mack he
pitched three full games ana part OF
another this season before Boston put
in q claim for him.

Boston Is making a noteworthy
race of it in view of the extent to
which the team suffered in Army
Ruth's powerful stickwork has proved
an important factor, but the develop
ment into a first-class pitcher of Sam
Jones is hardly less so. Jones was
not figured on as more than an out
side contender for a regular berth
on the Red Sox staff when the sea-
son got under way. He gave indi-
cations of arriving" before spring
developed into summer, however, and
when Hub Leonard quit the club cold
Jones was all set and ready to jump
in and take his place alongside Mays,
Ruth and Bush. He has delivered
the goods like a veteran.
When Dick Hoblitzell obtained
commission in the Dental Corps of
the Army and McInnis was shifted
back to first base Fred Thomas got
on the job at the hot corner and nlled
il in more acceptable style than
did Stuffy. Now Thomas has left the
team to enlist as an apprentice sea-
man in the Navy and Barbara steps
into his shoes. The latter has been
in fast company before. having one
stretch of service with the Cleveland
club Lately he has beer perform
ing for the New Orleans club of the
Southern Association. which recently
turned up its toes.
Not even the most stalwart sup
porters of the Red Sox expect them
TO maintain. on the road trip which
opens next Thursday at Chicago. the
pace they have been travelling at in
Boston. but unless the Hub machine
is slowed up soon it will amass suf-
ficient OF a lead to assure retention
of first place with no better than an
even break abroad And If the Sox
get back to Fenway Park August 10
to spend the remainder of the month
on their own lot, possessed of any
kind of a lead-look out!

WHERE RULES ARE FAULTY.
Batter Hitting Ball Out Of Park
Always Should Get Homer.

When the base ball rules are getting
their next revision, whenever that
may be, an effort will be made to
change the present Interpretation in
regard to home runs which decide ball
games Under the system now In
vogue q batsman may hit the ball
outside q park, but II tho runners on
bases settle the game the hitter does
not get credit for his home run. and
it does not go into the records as
such. This is an injustice to the
batsman. While the run does not
score in the game. since It is not
necessary. there Is no reason why 1t
should not go into the summary Of
the game and into the Official records
as a home run. 1t is the most timely
Of hits and important enough To set
tie a game Babe Ruth recently hit
into the stands at Boston. one of his
longest hits of the year, yet It does
not show in his record Of home runs.
Pipp hit into the stands at the Polo
Grounds recently and broke up a ball
game, yet is not credited with a home
run. This feature should be changed
so as to give the batsman credit.

Matteson Shows Class

Did YOU see Matteson pitch yester-
day? This thirty-two-year-old vet
eran. obtained from Dallas of the de-
funct Texas League. was called on Tor
his second period of service as Grill
man, and justified the bouquets thrown
at him following his first appearance
by letting the Indians down with two
scattered hits in the three rounds ne
worked. Incidentally he again was
rewarded by having victory chalked
to his credit, and now leads the league
with two wins and no defeats.
"Sergt." Jim Bagby and South
sparse crowd as mound performers.
but Matteson did all the pitching
worth commenting on. Assuming the
hurting burden in the seventh. after
Harper had given way in the hope
that Johnson could bring home pro-
spective run on second base, with the
score to 3 Cleveland's way, Matteson
held the enemy at bat in fine style
and had the satisfaction of seeing his
pals manufacture the two runs that
gave Washington Its second straight
victory over the Indians.
Considering Matteson's small knowl-
edge of American League batsmen
and the fact that. lacking speed, he
has to depend in a large measure on
his noodle and a slow ball, he made a
most encouraging showing. Picinich's
fund of data on the weaknesses of
rival hitters naturally Is not ex-
tensive, owing to the rather brief
time he has had for study, but the
younEster showed good judgment in
working on the various Indian clout-
ers. and much of what success Matte
son has had is due Val. Matteson had
no easy time Of it, either. for the first
Indian to face him in each inning got

out Chapman and Johnston popped

Judge in the eighth. Roth sacrificed
him to second and Wamby bunted
him to third. Then Matteson threw
out Wood.

MAKES HOLLOCHER.
Cub Tried Scotch Game, But
Poor Success Made Him
Ball Player.

Charles Hollocher is the sensational
shortstop of the Cubs and one of the
youthful wonders of the National
League for the reason that he could
not swing a golf club from a right
side. Hollocher throws right handed.
but In golf, as in base ball. he has to
do his hitting from the opposition
side.
Which proves again that Old Dame
Nature frequently comes to the as
sistance of a fellow without taking
him into her confidence and often
blazes the trail to a brilliant future
with nothing but curses as her re-
ward.
Few know that Hollocher ever was
golfer But he was. and horrible
one at that. We have his word for
it. His start was as cadtlie at the
Triple A Club, a course located in the
st. Louis Park. where formerly stood
the buildings of the exposition.
As a caddie Hollacher w2a good. he
possessed a keen eye. which made "
possible for him to follow the ball; he
was blessed with silence. also in his
favor: he was bright and smart and
so refrained from telling the amateur
golfers how to play their shots. That
was his big asset.
