Sandlot Stars Come
Home to Roost

In early spring the sandlot
youngsters, popped and primed
and full of jazz, give the fans
and sporting writers and their
many friends the razz. Off
they go to minor circuits, emu
lating Ruths and Cobbs. Later,
in the heat of August, back
they come to look for jobs.
Sandlots then are almost va
cant, all the stars have gone
away. but, with August's blast
ing holiness, home they trail
again to play. Then begins the
usual scramble, then they're
grabbed by local men; then
they seek the sandlot series,
cop their praise and coin again.
Seems it is an endless cycle,
seems to be a "ham- and"
game: but, like lots of other
grating, we'll stand for it, just
the same.

Everyone here is glad that Glendon
has achieved this honor. for he has

due more to him than TO anyone else.

Just when the Georgetown fans
were counting the twenty-slNth

CREW ALL PICKED.

Tho uniformity Of height and
weight in the crew is remarkable. as
has been noted. Seven of the eight
oarsmen range from six feet to six
feet and two inches in height, the
exception being Gallagher, who is
one inch below, and who just re-
placed Weidman. another six-footer.
The weights of all have only the
slight range of 175 pounds to ISL.
II is this uniformity in height and
weight which helped the development
of the splendid rhythm and power
which enabled the midshpmcn to
outrow the veteran and well-handled
crews that they met in the final
event
A majority OF the crew men have
had experience in other branches Of
athletics. Graves (captain). King and
Moore, were members of the football
team last year. and Sanborn was A
substitute line man. Graves played
le1t end, Moore was at right guard
and Clyde King came into football
prominence by scoring all the points
in the last Army-Navy football game,
at the New York Polo grounds by
kicking two field goals from place
ment.
Gala CHER is a fine swimmer, hav-
ing captained the team OF that sport
at Rutgers before coming to Annap-
oils, and swimming on the team at
the Academy. being a member of the
quartet which lowered the intercol-
legiate figure for the 16O-yard relay
Graves and Sanborn are the only
members of last years Academy var
sity now on the crew. Jordan and
Jacomini pulled on the second crew,
and Clark was it's coXswain.

King, Johnston and Gallagher werc
members of the plebc crew of las
year, while Moore performed re-
markable feat by making, first tn"
second crew and then the varsity iE
his first year of rowing. Sanborn
made the varsity in his first year Of
rowing, last season. but il is very
unusual aat the Naval Academy or at
other colleges.
The homes of the oarsmcn are wei!

greatest athletes, is one of the most

Boston, Aug. 17.-Players of the De-
troit and Boston clubs of the American
league today prepared to draw up a
petition asking for the Punishment
from organized baseball OF Carl Mays,
of the New York Americans, whose
pitched ball fractured the skull of
Ray Chapman, Cleveland shortstop, in
yesterdays game. Probability that the
members of both teams would refuse
to play in any game in which Mays
was the pitcher was expressed by
some of the players.
''Ty" Cobb, the Detroit star, as
serted that summary measures should
be taken against Mays Immediately
Oscar Stanage, veteran catcher of the
Tigers. said the players already had
discussed action.
Mays has been a storm center Of
baseball controversy for years, first
because of his close pitching, as a re-
suit of which players frequently COM
planned that he had tried to dust
them off, and later when the deal be-
tween the New York and Boston
clubs, by which he was transferred
after he deserted the Red Sox, precip-
itated a factional fight among club
owners and President Johnson.

Indian Star ShOrtstOp
Dies From Being Hit

New York, Aug. 17.-Raymond Chap
man, shortstop on the Cleveland Amer
lean baseball team, who was hit on the
head by ball thrown by Pitcher Carl
Mays in yesterdays game with. the
New York Americans, died in the St
Lawrence hospital at ESQ o'clock this
morning. He never regained conscious
ness after an operation which was
hurried1y decided on shortly after mid
night, when portion of his fractured
skull was removed by surgeons, who
hoped against hope that he might re-
cover.
Shortly before it was decided to
operate, Manager Iris Speaker. al
ready deeply apprehensive of his con-
dition, telephoned to Chapman's wife in
Cleveland who Immediately started for
New York.
The accident occurred at the out
set Of the fifth inning. Chapman was
the first batter up and was hit by the
first ball pitched So terrific was the
blow that the report of the impact
caused the spectators to think the
BAN had struck his bat. Mays, who
pitched the bali, acting under this inn
preston. fielded the ball, that re-
bounded half way to the pitchers box,
and threw it to first base in order to
retire Chapman.
Then it was noticed that Chapman
had collapsed at the home plate. He
was lifted to his feet by other players,
then he stood dazed for a moment,
staggered and crumpled up at their
feet. Physicians were Immediately
called from the grandstand and they
administered first aid. still not know
ing that he had suffered fractured
skull. Two players, with Chapmans
arms about their shoulders. started to
walk him off the field. He appeared at
first almost unaided, but a few mo-
ments later his legs became limp and
he had to be carried bodily to an am
bulance.
Manager Iris Speaker and Business
Manager Walter McNichols, of Cleve-
land. went to the hospital Immediately
after the game. and were at the insti-
tuition when the operation was per-
formed. The surgeons made an incision
three and one-half inches long through
the base of the skull on the left side.
They discovered a rupture of the lat
&eral sinus and a quantity of clothed
blood. A small piece of the skull was
removed.
The physicians at first entertained a
faint hope that the ball player would
Recover. but he failed to rally.
MAYS. in discussing the accident,
said the ball he threw was "sailer"
One that breaks sharply on one side,
due usually to a rough spot on the COW
or. He asked for another ball before
nitching to Speaker, who followed
CHAIRMAN at the plate, and the ball
which fatally injured the shortstop
