SLIM SALLEE, LONG LEAN PITCHER FROM
OHIO, PARTLY TO THANK FOR REDS CLIMB

Among the members of the Cincin-
natl club. which is going great guns
in the old league scramble, is long
lean, laconic gentleman from the
Ohio farm lands who will bear close
scrutiny. Harry Sallee, more fire.
quently referred to as Slim" or
Sheriff" though he never did any
sheriffng to amount to anything-is
the gentleman in question.
The long limbed southpaw-so the
records say-obtained his first minor
league engagement back in 1905 with
the Meridian club Of the Cotton States
league. He was a tri1e too good
for the boys in that league, and
in June for his first season was sold
to the Birmingham club of the
Southern association. There he re-
manned until the fall of 1906, when
he was picked up by the Yankees.
Lacking experience, he was released
to the Williamsport club of the Tri-
State league the following spring and
that summer was drafted by the
Cardinals. Sal stayed in St. Louis
for nearly nine years, and just when
the Mound City fans had begun to
consider him a fixture he grew tired
didn't care to play there any more.
John McGraw saw in the big pitch
er's indisposition an opportunity to
strengthen the Giants and bought
his release. The Sheriff served faith
fully under the Giant leader for two
years and a half and then decided
to retire from baseball.
Just before the Reds started south

Sallee. who had received his release
from the Giants, to join his club. In
coming to terms with Moran, Sal
took into account only the fact that
Cincinnati is but forty miles from
! Higginsport.
1t scarcely occurred to him, or tc

might break into the 1919 worlds
series. At any rate. Sal has given OF

broke into baseball he tried to throw
every ball past the batter. Certain
it is that in recent seasons he has
registered on an average about hal
the number of strikeouts he used t

endowed him with more craftiness il
a pitching way than usually come:
to a player, and one of the lesson:
he has learned is to try to make hi
opponents hit the ball-where h,

For this reason he frequently allow

Star Giant Pitcher Handed
Walloping Victory Puts
Cincinnati on Top.
GIANT.RED STANDING

CINCINNATI, Aug. 2.-For the first
time since fans Of the present day
can remember, the Reds are In first
place In the National league on the
first Of August.
The Reds have no better team, other
than the manager, than they have had
in other years, but Pat has been maxi
ing the boys step lively, and now, with
almost two-thirds Of the games Played
they are on the top of the league, and
are playing better ball than they have
at any time during this season.
They took first place in Fridays
game, by handing Fred Toney, the
Giants best pitching hope, ticket to
the shower baths after five innings.
and with an even break on the rest of
the games with the Giants will send
Protest John away with berth below
to the top Of the league.
1900 People at Game.
There were $4,000 persons at the
park Friday, in spite of the fact that
downpour threatened to cancel the
contest. This was a larger crowd than
the Reds played to at home at any
time during the 1913 season, and fore
casts gathering that will break all
records for Sunday, when the Giants
wind up their series in Cincy.
For the first three innings Of Fri
days game, 1T was close contest be-
tween Toney and his opponent, jim
ming Ring. Toney was the first to
break, however, and in the fourth, two
Reds came romping home on pass, a
wild pitch and pair of singles
This performance was repeated in
the fifth, and Toney was yanked from
the box. But it was too late, and
Manager Moran caught Ring before
the Giants had time to overcome the
Reds lead in the sixth, allowing Hold
Eller to finish the game.
Fridays victory gave the Reds a
margin of seven points over the Giants
and unless the Reds bobble. McGraw
will depart from Cincinnati Monday
without the league lead in his posses
sion.
Upon the outcome of the present
series. which includes a game Satur-
day and one Sunday, depends largely
the championship of the league. The
Reds have an opportunity to increase
their lead to 30 points, by winning
three games in this series. If they
win two, the lead will be pubbed down
to IS points, and if losing two of the
three, they will be four points behind
the Giants.
Buy OutfieIder
President Herman announced dur
ing Fridays game that he had pur
chased Outfielder Charley See, from
the Rochester club Of the international
league.
See is claimed by the Red scout tc
be sure winner. He is a pitcher
but on account of his ability with the
bat, has been playing in the outfield.
Cueto, a Red second string catcher
and $4,000, is said to be the price
paid for See.
Considerable interest is being taken
in Saturdays game owing to the added
attraction of Moran-k. C. celebration
Pat, who is a member Of the K. of C
will be the recipient Of the Cincinnati

STAGE IS SET FOR
GAME WITH CRAYS
At PARK SUNDAY
THE LIN E-UP

The stage is all set for tomorrow's
game with Connersvillc. With the
Fayette county ball tossers coming up
with threats of an easy victory it
looks like the Richmond boys will
have to be up on their toes every
minute to bring home the bacon.
Elliott, Connersville's pitcher, is
going strong this season and has
pitched some excellent ball. He for
merly pitched for the Muncie and
Farmland teams and they are recog-
nized as two of the best semi pro
clubs in the state. He has a first
class receiver in Smith, and the two
are working nicely together. The
rest of the club are all semi-pro or
have had minor league experience.
Minner for Richmond
The ability of the Richmond boys
is we'll known. With Pete MINER on
the mound and going good the Quaker
ball tossers expect to bring home an
other game on the right side of the
| percentage column.
| Roop, another strong twirler will be
held in reserve and for utility pur

| that Richmond is depending on for
the backstop work. will surely be in

I the club that he will be here.
The prices for the grandstand seats
