REDS AND GIANTS CLASH
 TODAY IN CRUCIAL SERIES
New York Fans All Steamed Up As Teams Meet in First of Three Double Headers
 To Decide Flag.

New York, Aug. 13-The New York Giants and the Cincinnati Reds will open at the Polo Grounds today series that should mark the high spot in National League baseball so far this year. It may decide the pen nant winner of 1919
 Two games will be played today, two tomorrow and two on Friday, the first game beginning at 1:30.
 Three successive dOuble-hea ders! Baseball experts are figuring that all week day attendance records at the Polo Grounds will be broken. They have good reason for their feeling, for rarely has there been a higher tension over two clubs-the defensive battle of the Giants and the onward slashing, smashing rush of the Reds under the mana cement of the Miracle Man of 1919, Pat Moran
 The Reds arrived in town last night and went to the Ansonia Hotel for a nights rest. They will have a horde of roOters and well wishers with them throughout the six games of the ser ies and there will be none of the one sided applause which marked the re- cent Giant series in Cincinnati
 New York crowds are noted for their fairness and they will give the visitors a square deal and just ap- preciation of their efforts
 McGraw will probably call on Ar thur Nehf, left handler, and Phil Douglas, his big right handler, to start the series today. Against them Moran will hurl Slim Sallee, who shut out the Giants in Cincinnati a week ago

BRAVES OWNER PLEASED
 AT NEHF DEAL

Boston, Aug. 13.-President George Grant of the Boston Braves arrived in town yesterday, He did not ap- pear to think he or his club had re- ceivcd any the worst of it in the trade of Arthur Nehf to the Giants and he felt had in the Herzog deal he had been big winner.
 In Causey, he believes he has a young pitcher who will win as many games for the Boston club as Nehf would have done. and in John Paul Jones, a prospect who will develop into star. Oeschger, he says, may not be able to do much this season, but he believes he will be a great pitcher next year.
 He was overworked by the Giants, as was Causcy. early in the season, and developed a sore arm, but there is nothing originally wrong with him. and Grant believes he is going to be a great pitcher. O'NeiIl the catcher who also is to come to the Boston club in the deal, is one of the best catchers in the International League.
 In addition to these four players he received q cash consideration of probably more than $30,O00.
 In view of the fact that Nehf was doubtful last Spring whether he would play ball at all this year, and the possibility that he may drop out of the game next year, and also con sfderfng the fact that Nehf had not done any remarkable work this year for the Boston club, President Grant did not see how he could consistently turn down the offer that had been made for the player, especially as he believes that in playing material the team is stronger now than 1t was l before he made the deal.
 For Herzog he also received some good players and q money considera- ton. Hcrzog, he said. would not have been with the Bosto cnlub next year. in any event. President Grant came near releasing him. internationally last Spring.
 "An I ask" said Pres. Grant, "is for the Boston baseball public to de- out
 'T am the one who fs paying the bills of the Boston club, no matter what impression tosthe contrary somo people might like to convey, and I am more anxious than anybody else to get a v ming team.
 'With Sehf and HerzoG we have been among the trailers in the second division all season. l am doing my best to strengthen the team, and, I have every reason to believe that I am making progress. Just wait until these things work out, and do not think for q moment that I am so foolish as to destroy the value of my property"

dent of the Giants. made a move to place the good old game in safe hands,
 They asked William Howard Taft, the former President of the United States. to accept the position as chair man of the National Commission. Mir. Taft agreed to accept the 6ffer of Frazee and Hampstead if all the Oth- CT big lea que club owners were agree able to his appointment. It was the idea of F7razce and Hampstead to make the supreme body of baseball a oue-man affair.
 But Ban Johnson objected. He absolutely refused to be shorn of his powers, although every fan in the country and the other club owners wanted. and almost demanded, that Mir. Taft be put in charge of the na- tfonaI pastime. Since that time, however. the club owners have come to realize that the game needs a securing.
 So they appointed the above nam ed committee to work out the scheme originally fostered by Frazee and Hampstead.
 It was learned last night that Chas. Comiskey. the owner of the White Sox. was the man to suggest the able Judge Landis. Certainly there isn't q better man to lead organized base ball out of it's present state of chaos than Judge Landis. He has been 2 staunch supporter of the national pastime for years, and with him as the supreme chief. the game is sure to prosper more than ever before.

VIRGINIA RIEIENIEN
 WINS FIRST PLACE,

Caldwell. N. J., Aug. 13-High scores and bad shooting weather, in cIuding a rain storm during the last two relays of the match, caused about 200 of the 600 competitors to drop out of the members match or the National Rifle Association in yes- terday's event at the national rifle matches held here this week at the rife range of the United States Navy.
 First place was won by Corporal Clarence P. Kennedy of the rifle range detachment at Quantico, Va, who shot his match in record time, three shots a minute.
 The members match consisted of ten shots at 600 yards, but Kennedy, after making a perfect score, contin- ucd shooting until he had made 45 consecutive bulls eyes, using no teIe- scope. Eight other contestants made perfect scores, some of them, like Corporal Kennedy, making added bulls eyes. Each bulls eye scored counted five.

New York, Aug. 13 - Organized baseball is about to receive a thor ough housecleaninG. Sick and tired of the manner in which the present National Commission has governed the game, the clubowners of both the American and National Leagues, at a recent meeting decided to make a drastic change
 The change will be the appoint mcnt of Judge Henesaw Mountain Landis, of Chicago. as supreme head of organized baseball
 It is barely possible that Ban Johnson, executive of the American League. and self-styled czar of that organization. and John A. Heydler, president of the National League. will sit on the board. but their power will be curtatlcd In short, they will simply be figureheads.
 At the baseball meetings in this city last February, the National League appointed William F. Baker, of Philadelphia. and William Veeck, of Chicago. while the American League nominated Colonel Jacob Ruppert. of New York. and Frank Navin. of Detroit, as q committee to select a capable man to succeed Garry Herman as chairman of the National Commission.
 This comm ttee has finally decided that Judge Landis Is the man to i'll the position Within the next few days, perhaps before the week Is out. the position will be offered to Judge Landis. InasmuCh as the leagues will most likely offer a salary of s5O,- 900. there is hardly any doubt that His Judgship will accept.

They took the mea>- ure of Conrad B. Doyle and Fred IT. Harris. the Middle Atlantic title holders. in straight sets. The score was 6-3. 6-3. 6-2.
 Brookes and Patterson held the major part of the attention. The crafty soft service of T3rookes v~'ch led up to the whir1wind smashing of his proteEe.

 The last set of this match was filled with brilliant rallies. The cli- max was one in which Patterson miss ed n lob. the ball landing an inch in side the base line. Brookes raced for a quick recovery at marvellous speed to make a get from which he eventu- ally won the point.
 Mclaughlin, under the inspiration of fast play and company. appears to be rounding into the form that was once his. His finely managed smashing. combined with lively vol leying in the rallies, made him ap- pear like the star Of the courts who earned the name of The Comet

Evidently Dick Kerr, the capable left handler of the Wht.e Sox, is going to go through his major league ca reer without being recognized by the folks in his home town There they know him as Keer, but in the box scores of the games he takes part in he is labelled Kerr. When the hurler made his debut in a White Sox uni form the scorers dropped the second ''e'' in his n1onicker and presented him with an ''r' instead, and since that time Keer has been Kerr.

last Saturday, and either Ruether or Fisher.
 The other Cinctnrati pitchers are Rng, Elier and Luque. Ring and Filler worked in the Philadelphia series and probably will not appear until Thursdays games, and Luque, and possibly Gerner, will get a chance only in case one of the regulars is; knocked out. Moran also has Rube BreSSler, a left handler who has been doing outfield work for a couple Of months, to call on in case of emer- gency.
 Rube Benton and Fred Toney will probably be the choices of the Giants for Thursday, and Jess Barnes, who pitched yesterday, will surely get in to one of Fridays struggles Jean Dubuc and Jess Winters are the New ork emergency men. With Larry Doyle back in the game the Giants will present their regular lineup and the Reds will also have Sherwood Magee in left field, which should add some hitting strength to the outfit that faced the Giants in Cincinnati
