HUNDREDS GATHER
As CHAPMAN'S BODY
ARRIVES AT HOME
(By Associated Press,

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 1S-Hun-
dreds of admirers and friends of Ray
Chapman, star short.stop of the Cleve-
land ball club Of the American league,
gathered at the Union depot here
early today to meet the body of their
idol, who died in New York, yester-
day morning.
Among those accompanying the
body were, Chapman's widowed bride;
Manager TINS Speaker and Joe Wood
of the Cleveland team. 1t was taken
in charge by an undertaken, pending
definite funeral arrangements.
Chapman's death occurred in hos
Fital following an operation, after he
had been hit on the head by a pitched
ball in Mondays game, between New
York and Cleveland, and sustained a
fractured skull.
1t was Chapman's eagerness to aid
in giving this city its first pennant that
indirectly resulted in Chapman's death
When he married Miss Kathleen Daily,
one of Clevelands best known society
women last October, he was asked if
he would retire from the game and de-
vote his time to a business in which
he had acquired an interest,
I'll play next year, for l want to
help give Iris Speaker and the Cleve-
land fans the first pennant Cleveland
ever had" Chapman replied. Then l
will talk quitting"
Star at Many Sports
In field meet against Camp Gus
ter, he took first honors in 100 and
200 yard dashs, his time for the 100
yard being ten seconds.
He also was member of the crack
Naval reserve football team, one of
the strongest service teams in the
country. and the only eleven to defeat
Pittsburgh University in 1918. The
baseball team, which Chapman cap
tanned. was undefeated all season.
Members of the Naval reserve club,
OF which Chapman was an honorary
member asked members of his family
that they be allowed to hold a mill
tary funeral

Death Means Loss of Pennant?

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 1S-In the
death OF Ray Chapman the Cleveland
ball club is deprived of the services OF
the best all around shortstop in the
American league. That he cannot be
replaced this year, and that with his
passing goes the likelihood Of Cleve.
lands winning the pennant, is the fear
Of Cleveland fans.
In losing Chapman, the Indians lost
one OF their best batters, their best
base runner, the best sacrifice hitter
in the American league and one of the
most sensational fielders. 1t was only
during the New York series that
Pittsburg baseball writer here for
those clashes said:
"If Pittsburg had Chapman at short,
it would win the National league pen
nant."
The fan at large little knows how
much Of a factor Chapman has been in
the clubs success this season and in
other years. He had CHEEKY disposi-
ton and his wonderful vitality and
good spirits could not but instill cour-
age in his teammates.
Chapman stirred up the Indians
with songs and jokes when they felt
gloomy aICer defeat and caused them
to take on courage for the next game
He was hard loser himself, but had
the faculty of sitting his disappoint-
ment and setting about to make his
colleagues forget their troubles. In
short, he showed ability to dispel
gloom.
Played Clean Baseball
He was popular wherever he played,
for he played clean and made friends
even among his adversaries. There
are few more popular players in the
American
Stardom never swelled his head.
The rawest rookie found him compan-
ionable! He would rather sit with
bunch of ball players and relate anec-
dotes Of games than go to the best
theater. He would rather play ball
than eat.
Raymond Johnson Chapman was
born in Kentucky in 1891.
When Ray was youngster his
father moved to Herrin, ILL.,, and there
Ray and Bob Veach, the Detroit out
fielder, were teammates on the Herrin
amateur team. Each turned profess
sional in 1910. Veach going to Peoria

Aug. 1S-Friction over the unsatisfac-
tory and disappointing showing of
Swedish athletes in the seventh
Olympiad games, of which there have
been rumors for several days culmi-
mated last night, in report that Ernie
Hjartberg, trainer of the team, had re-
Quested that he be relieved of further
responsibility.
The request was made, it is said,
to the Swedish Olympic committee,
which is not expected to take any &C
ton in the matter at this late date.
Hjartberg will not go to Paris with
the Swedish team, and number of
American athletes who will participate
in the triangular games with French
stars at Pershing's stadium, on Aug.
18th.
American giants were expected to
be the center of attention at the Olym-
pic game today, as the participated in
shot put, against formidable field of
Europeans and also in the elimination
events in the hammer throw, in which
they were expected to easily qualify.
This years Olympics, however, held
no certainty for American weight men.
as European stars in this branch of
sport have developed rapidly.
Inclnded in today's program were
elimination heats in the 5000 meters
obstacle race and finals in the 10000
metre walk, in which three Americans
have qualified; the 40 metre hurdles
in which Earl Thompson of Canada,
will have strong opposition; the broad
jump and the tug of war.
Three Americans, a Swede and a
Frenchman will compete with Thomp-
son In the 40 metre hurdles. The
preliminary heats in the 1900 metre
race were also run.
Talk Over 500 Metre Run
Athletes, trainers and experts from
all parts of the world, were today still
discussing yesterdays 800 metre race,
which was declared to be the great,
est ever run. Lawson Robertson, one
of the coaches of the American team,
said no such field ever competed be-
fore and that it was the fastest half
mile ever run, considering the slow
track. All others agreed that if the
race had been run at the Harvard
stadium or at Franklin field, Philadel-
phia, the worlds record would have
certainly been broken. Many hold the
opinion that Earl Eby, of the Chicago

fly. He permitted six hits, but only in
one inning did the Cubs manage to
bunch them. This happened in the
eighth when Robertson hit a home
run with Flack on base. Groh con-

Sunday for a game with the crack
semi-pro team of that place.

DECREASE IN LIVE STOCK.
Less Beef and Range Cattle,
Sheep and Hogs.

The inquiry made in January by
the cooperative crop reporting
service regarding the number and
value of livestock OH farms on Jan
uary |, indicates a decrease in the
number of beef and range cattle,
sheep and swine and possibly slight
increases in the number of dairy
cattle, horses and mules, as com
pared with the number of the var
ious classes of livestock on farms
January l, 1919.
A decrease in the average value
per head of every class of livestock
is indicated and apparently there
will be rather sharp decrease in
the total value of all livestock on
farms as compared with a year ago.
Reports of county assessors show
ed slight increases in all classes of
livestock except sheep for 1919 as
compared with 1918. The assessors
reports are taken as of April l.,
and it is generally conceded that
there has been a decrease in the
number of range cattle, sheep and
hogs since April l, 1919.
