Only 26 men are credited with facing Roberts in the full nine-inning game, as he issued one base on balls to Meyer. who was cut down a few mo- ments later in double play
 Roberts was saved on occasions by his teammates, Sammie Mayer going far into deep center and leaping into the air to take what appeared to be a certain home run from Tex Nal loney's bat and pulling several bril- liant stops around second base that appeared certain hits. Poor base run ming on the part of Jonnard and Helf- rich also assisted in the hitless game, while Umpire Williams rendered one decision that saved Roberts.
 Atlanta scored one run in the third on a single by Galloway sacrifice hits by Higgins and Roberts and sacrifice fly by Reed In the fourth two bag gers by both Griffin and Dykes scored another run. Jonnard allowed but five

WEEKS PLAY IN
 MAJOR LEAGUES

New York, July 20.-Two changes in the club standings of the National and American leagues took place during the past week. In the senior circuit Cincinnati lost the lead on Monday New York forging to first place Tn the younger organization the demoralized world champion Boston Red Sox drop ped six games of seven played, and temporarily fell back to seventh place giving way to Washington. Today's re- suits, however restored the Red Sox to sixth position.
 In the National league the tail end Philadelphia club furnished surprise by going through the week without a defeat with Cravath. the new manager. Packard, Meadows. Hogg and Rixey all turned in victories for the Phillies.
 The weeks sensation in the Ameri- can league was the retirement yester day of Lee Fohl. as Cleveland's manager Iris Speaker. heavy hitting outfielder and veteran of the American league, will try to bring the 1919 pennant to Cleveland.
 The Indians tied with the Chicago leaders in making the weeks best re- cord five victories and two defeats, not including today's contests and the victory over Philadelphia this after noon carried the Ohioans within four percentage points of New York in se- cond place the Yankees dropping a ten inning today in the important series begun with the White Sox.
 The Boston Americans poor record this year has been attributed in some quarters to dissatisfaction on the part of the players toward manager Bar row, but the management in a state ment Friday declared their mediocre showing was due to Combination of bad breaks, the failure of some of the regulars to perform up to their past standards, weak pitching, and continu- ed bad luck fielding" Caldwell turned in the only victory of the week and won only through Ruth's wonder full batting. which included two home runs responsible for six tallies in a game against Cleveland The Yankees which dropped them from the leader ship of the American league recently continued, the team losing five out of eight of this week.

Philadelphia Ruined As Ball

Money Grabbing Baker, President of Phes, Most Un popular Club Owner in Basebal-Jack Coombs
 Quits in Disgust-Connie Tried Hard
By JAMES J. CoRBETT

All he wanted was the money He got IL. put right then he began to dig his baseball grave. And about every move he has made since then has made only deeper the diamond hole that awaits him in the end.
 During the winter of 191S-1919 Baker became called the biggest ingrate in baseball' when he released Pat Moran without warning; tossed out of a job man who made perhaps quarter of a million for him and who was one of the best loved leaders in the game
 Realizing his folly when the storm blew up over the dismissal of Moran, the Phillie owner tried to right mat ters by employing Jack Coombs Never was there more loyal. faithful patient worker than Coombs; never was there man who asked for fewer favors than Colby Jack" He did his best with the Phillies-but it was a useless ef- fort. Baker dabbled-and Bakers tao tics, according to Philadelphians smashed the morale of the team. Noth- ing pleased Baker-everything annoy ed him. Every error of a player, so the story goes, brought rebukes And then he hit upon the crazy plan ot lining his men for the slightest In. fraction of the rules. The men revolted as was only natural-Coomb quit in utter disgust and the wreck of the Hes
  of a ball club that once battled for world series honors.
 Baker blamed Moran for the 1917 and 1918 failure of the Phillies to win a penant-a grave injustice to wonder ful Pat. The Phillies might have grab bed the flag in both those years if Baker instead of selling his stars had only spent few thousand dollars in the purchase of good men to plug up the gaps. And his club of 1919 might have accomplished something, too, if Baker hadn't pursued the most niggard- ly tricks that baseball knows.
 The fans have turned away from the Phillie Park. And it is unlikely that they'll ever go back until such time as a manor a group of men-domin- ate the club whose ownership is mixed with real sportmanship-not money grab bbers.

Errors on the part of the local team in the first and second innings allowed Anniston to score six runs. but after the locals settled down to business Anniston was not able to connect with Sandlin, who pitched pretty game for the Alexander team.

Alexander City stage1 one of the prettiest "comebacks" ever witnessed on the local diamond and with the visitors already six runs to the good. they settled down and then knocked Hollis to every corner of the field, but that ninth inning rally, so famous in the basebalFworld, failed to work for the locals and they wers noseo out by the small margin of one run.

BAKER UNPOPULAR


 owner of the Phillies-and outside of Andy Freedman, oncetime owner of the Giants, no more unpopular man ever was identified with the diamond game. Year after year, during his ownership, Baker has demonstrated an appalling lack of sportsmanship-has shown that he is in the game for the money that can be made.
 Bakers policy never has been a pub lie be pleased' affair. Rather it has been exactly the opposite. Whenever the acquisition of dollars--or the saving of others presented itself in the disposal of athletic idols. Baker has put through the deal, no matter how great has been the vail from the fans
 Such tactics as Baker has employed have no place in baseball. They hurt the game immeasureably. And man like Baker, regarded as miserly to an extreme, reflects no credit on the pas time. But perhaps Bakers most recent boner'--the. casting off of faithful Jack Coon bs-has sounded his death knell in big league circles.
 No man ever did more for a ball club than did Pat Moran with the 1915, 1916. 1917, and 1918 Phillies. Working for Baker for meagre pay in comparison with his worth, Moran led the Phillies into the world series of 1915-and Baker made financial killing due to that brilliant Moran performance. And through 1916 and 1917 Moran's skillful work with only fair ball club enabled the Phillies to break a little better than even-while most of the clubs were losing heavily.
 All that time the fans patronized the Phillie Park in liberal fashion.
 SOLD HIS STARS
 And then came the first slap that Baker, "the money grabber," delivered to the faces of the fans. He sold Grover Alexander and Bill Ki1lifer- the greatest battery in basball. His act wrecked the pennant chances of his club-took from the team it's real bulwarks.
 The fans protested-but in vain. Bak- CT didn't care how the rooters felt over the loss of Alexander and Killifer

Barons Split Double With Lookouts

Philadelphia, one of the best base ball towns in the entire history of the national game has been wrecked tenn porarily by the niggardliness of one club owner and the inability of the other to rebuild machine that he wrecked of his own free will.
 Once the Quaker City was represent ed by the greatest baseball machine in the world-Connie Mack's Athletics. Philadelphia came to mean all that was great in diamond achievement. For many years the Athletics ruled supreme. And then the man who built the great est team of them all, disbanded it- while Philadelphia groaned
 But Mack had his reasons. Dissen- sion had split the club-and he decided that the better plan was to get rid of those whose loyalty to the club might be questioned. Ever since the Athletics have been synonymous with tail end CTS" But in Mack's favor it must be said that through the years since 1914 he has tried to rebuild; endeavored to give Philadelphia a great club.
 But situation vastly different ex- ists with the Phillies; condition where a man wrecked a great ball club solely for pecuniary gain and who ever since then has utter contempt for the wishes of the fans who have supported him nobly
