New York, Aug. 17.-Raymond
Chapman, shortstop on the Cleveland
American baseball team who was hit
on the head by a ball thrown BY
with the New York Americans, died
in the st. Lawrence hospital at 1850
o'clock this morning.
He never regained consciousness
after an operation, which was hur-
riedIy decided on shortly after mid
night, when a 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, te1ephoned news of the accident
to Chapman's wife in Cleveland, who
imm ediately started for New York.
News Of his death cast gloom over
the members of both teams. and the
baseball world in general, and today's
was called off. Carl Mays was over
come with grief when the news was
told to him.
Hit BY First Ball.
The accident occurred at the outset
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 spectators to think the ball had

fielded the ball that rebounded half
way to the pitchers box and threw it
to first base in order to retire Chap
man.
Then 1t was noticed that Chapman
had collapsed at the home plate. He
was lifted to his feet by other players.
He stood dazed for a moment, stag
gered and crumpled up at their feet.
Physicians were imm ediately called
from the grand stand and administered
first aid, still not knowing that he had
suffered a fractured skull. Two play
ers, with Chapman's arms about their
shoulders started to walk him off the
field. He appeared to walk at first
Almost unaided but a few moments
later his legs became limp and he had
to be carried bodily to an ambulance.
