D0UBLE-HEADER TODAY

CLEVELAND. July 12.-Fourteen
men left on the bases doesn't begin to
tell the story of the decidedly ODD
angles in the 81 defeat the Ma
tionals absorbed in the getaway con-
test in Detroit yesterday. That fact
in itself is enough to account for the
reverse.
But there were attending details
that made the outcome assume
truly remarkable aspect. For IN
stance. in seven of the nine innings
the first Griffman up got on the
paths. on one occasion through a
two base hit. At least one bingle
was produced in all save two rounds.

in addition they were beneficiaries
in the matter of not fewer than seven
bases on balls. an error and wild

Big Trade With Red SoX Sets Fans Talking White SOX DOWncaSt Over Failure to Secure Pitcher.

The addition of Carl Mays gives the New York Americans a fair chance for the pennant. They are Il points behind the Chicago White Sox but still will be able to catch the west erners il they should stage a. lively Spurt. Mays Is one of the few un- Gerhanded pitchers still remaining in the big leagues. He quit the Boston Red SOx in Chicago on July 13 be- cause the club refused to pay a fine of S100 imposed upon him by Presi- dent Johnson of the American league when Mays threw a ball at a spec tator who jeered him during a game. Manager Kid Gleason of the White SOX was said to have been downCast last night over his failure to get Mays. He had offered s40,G0 in cash for the hurler but had no suitable players to offer in trade and the Red Sox wanted players in addition to money.
 If they had secured Mays, the White Sox would probably have won the fla g in walk and it was a good business move by the Yankees to secure him since it will make the race closer. even if the Yankees do not rOmp home in first place.
 The Yankees did not weaken them selves to any great extent by givfng g Pitchers Russell and McGraw to Bos- ton. Manager Huggins has plenty of twirlers without them. He expects Mays will report today.
 Mays was born in Louisville, Ky, and is 2S years old. He began his career with semi-pro clubs in Utah and went from there to Boise, Idaho,

TWO YOUNG STARS
 OUT FOR DETROIT JOB

are here it might be as well to get next to a hot race for position now going on between an old Red Sox fla vorite, Chick Shorten, and one of the brightest young stars of the year. Flagstead.
 Both these youngsters-for shorten is still a youngster-are batting vel! over 300. Both are big favorites in Detroit as well as with Manager Jen- nings and the other Jungaleers- Both have sunny dispositions. game to the core, good outfeIders. and either n1an will 20 the limit to bring the bacon home for Detroit
 Shorten, obtained by trade from the Red Sox last spring, jumped at once into popular favor by the way he went for Jennings at the start. Then Flagstead. an equally alert outhelder, the possessor of an even stronger whip and a reliable hitter in tha pinches. had his inning, and for a while Shorten sat upon the bench.
 Some two months ago F1agstead took sick, Shorten went in for Detroit in the pinch once moro, and the Jungaleers began to go like a house afire.
 Sixteen victories out of their last 21 games (including two defeats by the Red Sox in Detroit a week ago) proves that the Junga1eers are com ing fast and that Shorten has been a tower of strength.
 Chick Is a dangerous hitter in a pinch. While his batting average is not quite as formidable as that Of F1agsteads, who is a hard right handed batsman, Chick is accounted one of the most vicious hitters in the American league, especially against right-handed pitchers. Chick has won many a battle for the Junga1eers this season after the Detroit fans had practically abandoned hope.
 So watch Chick and F1agstead from this time on- They are a great pair. Either would help any contending club. The Sox lament the departure of Chick just as much as Chick hated to leave the Hub.
 Incidentally, if the pennant Is to go West this year every one of the Red Sox hopes that 1t will go to Detroit just for the sake of Shorten, whose batting cinched the pennant of the Red Sox the last time that Carrigan n managed a worlds championship out 1 fit.

PIRATES PROTEST ON CINCINNATI VICTORY
 OF LAST SUNDAY

Pittsburgh, July 31-Officials of the Pittsburgh National League Baseball club announced here last night that they had protested to President John A. Heydler, of New York, the first game between the Pirates and Gin cinnati, played in Cincinnati last Sun day. The Reds won the game, 5 to 3. In the protest to the league president, the Pittsburgh club officials cite the fact that during Sundays game in Cincinnati it was necessary to establish ground rules. owing to the big crowd, these rules giving run ner only two bases in event the ball went into the crowd.
 With Groh on first base in the sixth inning, Neale hit to shortstop Terry of the Pittsburgh club. The latter tried to force Groh at second, but the throw was wild and the ball went into

ROAMER WILL
 WIN ND MORE RACES AT TRACK

New York, July 31-Andrew Mill Ier's ggreat race horse, Roamer, win ner of many stake events and the idol of the turf, broke down at Saratoga yesterday and may never race again. News to this effect was received last night by MT. Miller over the long dis ance telephone. Roamer bowed @ tendon while working out at the Spa
 Roamer was being prepared for the Saratoga Handicap to be run to- morrow as the feature on the card for the open-day at Saratoga In trial over the mile and a quarter route he covered the distance in 2:03 3-5. Roamer has three times captur- ed this event. and was in this time at the lightest weight he had ever been asked to carry for the race.
 Roamer is a son of Knight Errant and Rose Tree, 2d, and has been consistent winner throughout his rac- ing career. This year he suffered some setbacks and at one time it ap- peared that he was going back. But recent workouts has made it appear that the great old racer was again reaching that form which had made him so popular. Even in his de feats Roamer was able to win the pIaudits of the crowds. At the re- cent meeting at Aqueduct he was given a big reception upon returning to the stands after losing.
 During the meeting at Saratoga last year Roamer set a new worlds s record for a mile at 1.34 4-5, lowering the mark of Salvador, made over a straight course which had stood for years.

Addition Of Carl Mays
 May Mean Flag To Yanks

In the western Tri-State League. He advanced to Portland, Ore, and from there to Providence of the old Inter national League. The Red Sox se- cured him from Providence in 1915. His best showing was in 1917, when he won 22 and lost nine. This year he won five and lost H. but as the Red Sox have been going poorly his failure to win was no reflection upon his ability. He is not popular with fellow members of the Red Sox who say he has a bad disposition. They say he was to blame for his troubles with the club and threatened to go on strike if Mays was allowed to make good his boast that he would Insist upon being traded to some oth- CT club. But that strike talk was probably the old alfalfa

RUTH STARTS TO
 MAKE NEW RECORD
 FOR CIRCUIT CLOUTS

Boston, July 31t-Wfth the Ameri- can League record for home runs equalled by his sixteenth circuit clout of the season in yesterdays game with Detroit, Babe Ruth, the Red Sox crack batsman, today set out for Q new league mark.
 Ruth, naturally, is confident of ex- ceeding Socks Seybolds American League record, established in 1902, and added that Buck Freeman's world record for the major leagues of twenty-five home runs would be his particular aim for the rest of he sea- son.
 Ruth's long distance hitting has scored him home runs on every grounds in the American League this season. His total for the year is con Siderably greater than sixteen, the Spring training season having been marked by one series of six consecu- tive home runs off his bat. Ameri- can League pitchers appear at a loss to stop him, the big pitcher and out fielder having made scoring drives off balls knee high and over his head alike.
 President John A. Heydler of the National League took a look at the White Sox yesterday. It is the first time he has seen them since they beat the Giants in the worlds series of 1917.
 Ball players dropped the old trick of trying to cut bases years ago. When Ping Bodie cut first base in the opening7 inning, everybody in the park, including two umpires, together with all the deadheads on CoOgan's Bluff, saw him do it.
 With Claude Williams and Eddie Cicotte both in a bad slump because of over work the White Sox find themselves in serious difficulty. If the slump of the Tanks is really over they will make a lot of trouble for the Western clubs.

TOM M'NAMARA IS
 LEADING GOLFER IN
 PROFESSIONAL MEET

New York, July 31-Finishing in old-time form. Tom McNamara of this city led the field in the metropolitan qualification test of the Professional Golfers Association championship tournament at the Shackamaxon Country Club yesterday. The former metropolitan open title holder had a thfrty-six hole score of 154, two shots better than Tom Boyd of Fox Hn,1.
 Visitors speedily discovered that low scores at Shackamaxon were hard to get, while long butts were as scarce as white crows. The greens. a trifle ''shy" of grass. did not en- courage boldness in putting: rather the contrary, for once a player miss- ed a couple of wee ones he straight away lost his confidence.
 Supplementing his morning round of 79, with 77 later, Boyd had a total of 156. He and Louis Martucci of White Beeches were probably the steadiest pair in the field, the last named having rounds of 80 and 78 Considering the fact that Martucci has only one arm, he has a right to be proud of his score, which left him in fourth place.
 Third on the list at the end of the days play was John Bredemus, who after years of persistent effort suc- ceeded in making an enviable show ing. He began with an 81 in the morning, but after luncheon got the touch on the greens. holing several lengthy butts.

In Worcester yesterday the Americans were nosed out in the ninth by the home club which won a to 4 victory Bridge port was ahead by to 1 until the ninth when Worcester piled up four runs.
 Carlson, new hurler, did well un- til the fatal ninth when he was re- lieved by Marty Walsh. Manager Grimes and his brother each got two hits yesterday. The Americans play in Worcester again today.
 Pat Began, who was turn ed loose by the Giants the other day was signed yesterday by the White Sox. Patrick is a pretty lucky athlete when he can be released by the league leaders in one league on one day and be picked up by the leaders in the other league on the next day.
