How Tigers Scored.
k0JESssssGAF9E

Since replacing Shannon at short.
Mcbride continues to play errorless
ball. He handled six chances clean
-ly yesterday. The best he could do
at bat was to get two sacks on
Bush's error. draw a base on balls,
aud register two sacrifice hits.
Sam Rice is still hitting. He had
three safe ones to his credit and
also swipsd couple of sacks.
Nick Altrock was in rare form.
his imitation of Hughey Jennings
on the coaching line being the hit
of the afternoon.
Despite his lack of experience at
: the station. Pat Charity is giving
his best efforts at first base in the
absence of Judge. He got mixed
up on but one play yesterday.
Everybody got hit yesterday
except Mcbride; Rice. Harris. and
Charity having three apiece.

The verdict Of the Fa.s.

Dear sir: Here are a few sug-
gestions for a change In baseball
rules which think would meet
with approval of 80 per cent of
those who make the game a sue
cess.
When a slugger comes to bat. to
prevent the pitcher Intentionally
passing him, let II be optional with
the batter to accept the pass or not.
II he (the batter) elects not to ac-
cept the four ball pass then the
pitcher shall try to get it over in
four more tries: failing to do so
then let the batter take two bases
or should second or third be occu-
pied. or both of them, let the run
ner or runners score. 1t is conceded
that usually there are runners bn
when the intentional pass is given.
The baseball rule makers have
shown that some rule should be
made to prevent intentional pass.
as was evidenced last winter when
they attempted TO make a rule pre-
venting the catcher leaving his po-
sition. This has been a failure, but
the above I think would go a long
way toward stopping a thing which
the great majority of fans dislike
intensely. 1t would give the bat
ter Of the Ruth type at least a
chance and the fans would have
the pleasure of seeing what they
are paying for. Ruth would have
an equal chance of hitting a home
run or striking out, either of which.
as you know. causes great glee.
Another Suggestion.
One more suggestion and / am
done.
One of the prettiest plays in the
game is the stolen base. One of
the fiattest plays is when runner
taking a courageous lead is trapped
by some pitcher getting away with
a half balk. runs down to second
on a throw to first which is meant
to catch the runner mapping. The
poor runner is running right into
suicide, as the ball is always wait
ing for him, being fielded with
time to spare.
why not have it this way? When

may tell him. ! think Babe will
look at IL in that light and that is
why I predict that after he has
once made the necessary number
OF homers to give him the title he
will alter his style of play.
Sam Rice, who leads the league
in stolen bases and also in consecu-
tive hitting had his string broken
last week when Red Faber prevent
ed him from getting his daily
figure.
Griffs Have Bad Week.
The poor work OF the locals last
week, when they were able to win
but one out of seven games, put
them out of the first division. and
1t Is going to take some hard WORK
to get past the Browns now that
the team will soon start on another
western trip. IL President Griffith
can secure a man to play the in
neld. one that can field his posi-
tion in any kind of style, the team
Will soon come back. The pitchers
have been going badly, that is true,
but 1t has been the work of the
inheld more than any other that
has lost so many games. Hardly
one in a dozen times Is a double
play made when the ball is hit to
short, as the toss is always bad to
the pivot man, and Harris is one
OF the best in the business in this
line. But he cannot make a play
when the ball Is thrown over his
head or at his feet. Until that Is
remedied the team will make very
few double plays. Had two of them
been made last week when chances
were offered the Nationals would
have won both games, but on ac-
count OF the loss of time In getting
the bail to Harris. both games were
put down on the wrong side of tho
ledger.

There's a good man at the wheel
OF the Americas cup defender.
Born to the sea fifty-four years
ago, Charles Francis Adams has
been making daring voyages ever
since he could toddle around the
wavo- washed decks.
He got his inspiration from his
father. John Quincy Adams, who
used to take him on fishing trips
just outside the Boston harbor In
the little catboat. The Nettle.
For forty-five years Adams has
owned and sailed yachts.
One of his biggest assets is his
calm and modest judgment and
common sense. There are no better
sportsmen than Adams in the game.
He has built and raced many can
vas crafts. including the Rooster,
the Bat and the AUX. His log book
shows many victories in the inter
national races with Germany and
Spain. where he was always a
prominent figure.
Manager Robert W. Emmons, Cd.
selected him to sail the Resolute in

1914. Adams sailed the Herreshoff
yacht with a record Of twenty-five
victories.
Personally his friends call him
Deacon" He is of a short, stocky
build. His eyes are a deep sea blue
and he always has a smile for ev-
eryone.
Adams holds more jobs as di-
rector of financial companies than
any other man in New England,
one of them consisting of handling
the millions belonging to Harvard
as treasurer and member of the
corporation.
In 1914 the New York Yacht Club
elected him to its membership.

Sisler Is Pushed to Hold Lead;
Gnffs Win One Game in Week
by GEORGE l.. MoRELAND.

The race for batting honors be-
tween Sisler Speaker, Jackson and
Ruth is AS exciting as the race be-
tween Cleveland. New York and
Chicago for the pennant.
Up till Saturdays games. when
these figures closed, Sisler was
leading his rivals but a small frac-
ton. He is batting at a 413 clip
against 404 for Speaker.
But all honors in the other de-
partments of the game belong TO
Babe Ruth, who leads the others
players in runs scorced with IS.
This is remarkable for such a heavy
man and one who may think is
not very fast on his feet. Ruth has
such a big lead on the other players
in long hits that he win never be
overtaken. His twenty-ninth home
run, equaling his last years record
was made of Burweli. of the st.
Louis team. and IL will be only a
question Of time until he passes that
mark
Ruth May Change style.
Many writers have predicted that
the big fellow Is going after a rec
ord of fifty home runs this year.
On this 1 differ. I look for Babe
after he has established a new rec
ord to start to play for his team.
He has not been doing that at any
time this year. His whole thought
has been on that home run record.
If you take the time to look up
his record you will find the Balti-
more boy has not made a single
sacrifice hit this year. And he has
had abundant chances to do so.
Nothing doing on the ''lay-it-down"
with him. Hit them OUT has been
his motto. but after you discover
that he has made more home runs
than any other man in the major
league, someone is going to take
a fatherly interest in him and show
him, now tGat he has secured what
he started after, that it is team
work that wins.
I'VE can beat out both Cleveland
and Chicago IL you play for runs
from now on and look what a nice
nest egg you will have if you win
