IN CHICAGO GOLF

Chicago, Aug. 1.-TWO extra hole
matches, one of twenty-three and
the other of twenty-five holes, fea-
tured the first round for the Chicago
golf championship at Jackson park
yesterday.
The first of these marked the
elimination of Adelbert W. Baum,
the Hyde Park high school player,
who won the qualifying medal. He
was defeated by Dwight Smalley,
a Windsor veteran. who squared
the match at the eighteenth hole,
with q seven foot put, after Baum
had missed 6 ten footer for 4,
which would have given him the
match. They halved the next four
holes in 4. 5, 4, and 4, but Smalley
won the next SIS.
Scores in this match were a
trife high, Smalley getting A.
SO, and Baum, 43-41-S4, but It was
a good victory for the Windsor
player, who finished nine strokes
behind Baum in the medal round.
Brad Smith won from r. Patter-
son on the twenty-second green aft
er a well played match in which
each shot rs. Smith went out In
80 and was up, but the West Pull
man player squared at the eleventh
hole, 294 yards with 3. Smith re-
taIiated with q birdie three at the
twelfth hole, 275 yards, running
down a long putt
Patterson, with on the short
thirteenth, squared again, and each
took one of the next two holes,
leaving them on even terms with
three to play. They halved the next
three holes in par figures. Patter-
son saved his bacon by boiling a Is
foot putt on the first extra hole
They halved the next two.
At the fourth hole, 30s yards.
Smiths drive landed on the bank
which crosses the fairway. Taking
a goat stance he lifted his ball and
It fell two feet from the cup, giving

OWNER OF YANKEES
GIVES STATEMENT
CONCERNING MAYS

New York, Aug. 7.-Colonel
Jacob Rupert, president of the
New York Americans, issued a
statement last night challenging
the accuracy of the explanation
made by President B. B. Johnson
of the American league with ref
erence to his Indefinite suspension
of Pitcher Carl Mays, recently ac-
quired from the Boston Red Sox.
Colonel Rupert also made a
public copy of telegram intended
to show that Manager Jennings of
the Detroit Americans had nego-
tiated for Mays services after the
date on which Johnson declared
Detroit and other clubs had pro-
tested against the Yankees acqui-
sition of Mays.
Recalling Johnson's statement
that he had telegraphed the New
York owners on July % informing
them of the protest against their
negotiations, Colonel Rupert as
serted that on July &c Manager
Jennings sent the following tele-
gram to Manager Barrow of the
Boston club:
Have no players to give for
Mays. VIII consider cash PROPOSE
ton"
Colonel Rupert asserted John
son had not stated the real facts
in connection with Mays quitting
the field in the midst of a game at
Chicago July 49, Mays, Rupert
declared, left the field injured aft
er being struck by ball thrown by
Catcher SchGng.
I'VE expect to pitch Mays with
in the next two days was the
declaration of the New York own
ers.

DONOVAN ASSERTS
PLAYERS ARE POOR
AS BALL ARBITERS

Bill Donovan, now managing the
Jersey City team, has something to
say about umpires. Among his OBJ
servations are the following points.
THE ex-player IS a bad umpire
because he is always figuring plays
out before they are completed. He
knows what ought to happen on
certain kinds of hits or in certain
situations. And he makes up his
mind in advance on his decisions.
He cannot help this. A player
is always thinking ahead Of the
play. This is so even If he is sit
ting on the bench watching the
game.
when a veteran player gets to
he an umpire, therefore, he cannot
be expected to change his complete
baseball thinking process. He can
not do so. And he is invariably
bad umpire.
ct is a mistake to make umpires
out Of veteran players. Young men
should be secured. When they get
on in years they should be replaced,
as ball players are.
Under the present scheme OF
things the umpiring in the major
leagues is mediocre. I'll bet there
are not five umpires on the COM
bined stats of the National and
American leagues who can read a
newspaper without wearing eye
glasses"

RED LEGS HANDED
SET BACK IN RACE
FOR FIRST HONORS

Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug. Brook
Ign batted Sallee and Fisher hard
yesterday, while Galore held the
Cincinnati men to four scattered
hits and defeated them, 6 to 1.
In the first inning the first four
Brooklyn batters singled, but only
one run was scored. Myers hitting
into a double play.
Sallee was hit for two singles and
a double in the second and gave
way to Fisher, who was also pound
ed hard. Fisher was relieved by
Luque in the third with two out,
and he stopped the scoring.
A muffed fly by Griffith, a single
by Neale and Kopfs sacrifice fly
saved the Reds from a shutout in
the ninth. See, the new Red out
fielder, played left field from the
fourth inning. He was up three
times without getting a hit and
muffed a fly ball on his only field
ing chance. Score:

FREAK HOMER IS
CAUSE OF CUBS
DEFEAT;2TO 0
Ball Rolls Through Hole I'm Wire
Fence Made by Pop Bottles
Thrown by Irate Fans.

Chicago, Aug. IA fuke home
run through a tear in the screen
guarding the left field bleacherites
from the players was responsible
for a freak victory by Ray Heating
Of the Braves over Sergeant Alex
ander Of the Cubs yesterday by a
score Of 2 to 0. Even the weather
was freakish.
Keating's victorious blow came
IN the third inning with a Brave
on ahead Of him and one out. He
pulled drive to left which passed
Barber on the bound, hit the screen
and filtered through a hole into
the stand That registered all the
runs made, but came near being
wasted.
Black storm clouds gathered in
the home half of the third and
made the areno so dark it did not
look possible to finish five innings
and avoid the rainchecks. Not only
was rain imminent but it was diff
ficult TO discern the athletes at any
distance The players hustled
through the legal minimum in
spite of these conditions, then the
storm held off until the eighth and
did not develop enough moisture to
prevent completing the combat.
Only eight hits were made by
both teams, and only three OF
Heating altogether. After darkness
set in each team made two hits.
The Cub defeat was a backfre
from the demonstrations against
umpires during previous series, as
Keating's drive went through one
OF several holes in the bleacher
screen torn by pop bottles thrown
by fans whose angle Of visibility
was too low to clear the barrier.
There had not been time to repair
the damage before it damaged the
Cubs standing. Score:

Some of the men who are keeping
Cincinnati in pennant race. Left
to right, above: Hold Eller, Eddie
ROush and Manager Moran. Be-
low: Jake Daubert and Slim Sal
lee.
Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug. with
less than two months of the cham
pionship season remaining the
Reds are right there in an extr-me-
ly threatening position, with the
likelihood of remaining in the race
until the finish. The team has been
the sensation of the season, and
whether it wins out over the Giants
or is eventually beaten off, both
Manager Moran and the players de-
serve great credit for the brilliant
showing made. The team has made
a long, steady and courageous bat
tie, has had no serious slump at
any time and has constantly deliv-
cred the goods.
The Reds do not look so strong
on paper as at least three other
clubs in the league, and possibly
four, but Manager Moran has sue
ceeded in developing the latent
strength Of the club to its fullest
powers and the consistent work of
the club has been the baseball sur
prise of the year.
At first base Jake Daubert is an
old-timer Who was supposed to
have out-1ived his best years, but
who has been playing the best ball
of his career. When Jake came
here it was said. that his legs were
in bad shape, and that he would
not be able to play more than half
the games, but he has played in
every inning OF every champion
ship contest, which no other man
on the team has done, and his work
has been OF the greatest help to
the club

Morris Rath is another veteran
who has played with several Amer
lean league clubs and was finally
rescued from the minors by the
Reds, when it was thought that he
was out of the big show for good.
1t was a grand piece of luck for
the team that Lee Magee refused
to report at the training camp, on
account of a squabble over a bit
of salary, for the action gave Rath
his chance to play second base,
which he would probably not have
had If Magee had reported. Morris
has been laying, in a quiet and
modest way, the best second base
In the league this year. He was
supposed to have q bad arm, but
his throwing has been wonderfully
accurate. While not d heavy hitter,
he is a game man at the plate, and
one Of the most timely batters on
the club, besides being by far the
best lead-off man in the league, as
he seldom hits at a bad ball and
works his way to first on passes
quite constantly. He is a real tower
of strength.
At the short field Larry Kopf,
who came here in a trade for Lee
Magee, has been playing the best
ball of his career and ranks with
the best in the league Charley
Hollocher, the Cub sensation, is a
shade faster and will hit a bit
harder, but Kopf yields to no other
short fielder.

OF Hefnie Groh nothing need be
said. The Red captain is in a class
