Pitching Staff. Too, Cracks on Eve
of Tough Games With West
eFp Clubs.

Jimmy O'Neill. the Griffs' rookie
shortstop. has a fractured thumb on
his left hand, and will hardly be able

at short until the sorreltopped lad Is
in shape to get back into the lineup.

from George Uhle, the Indians
pitcher. He may have to rest for .
week or so.
Walter Johnson's strained tendon Is
coming along nicely, and Prexy Grif-

HURRAY, UMPIRES LOSE
WHEN ROBBERS APPEAR
Evans and Hildebrand Minus Jew

Their Shoes.

NEW YORK, July Ooh. you rob-
ber" yelled a New York rooter at
George Hildebrand, the umpire in the
Yanks-Detroit game. when he called a
ball on one Of Collins pitches yes
terday.
"You robber" howled a Detroit SYM
pathizer at Billy Evans when he
called Cobb out at second in the
ninth.
Robbers! We've been robbed"
shouted Hilderand and Evans in uni
SON when they went to their dressing
room under the grandstand after the
game.
Too true! There were robbers
around. and they weren't the umpires.
Some time while the game was on,
while applause and stamping drowned
their noise, thieves broke into the
umpires' dressing room. took all the
clothes the judges of play had left
there, their jewelry-two rings, pins
and watches-and about 5000 in cash.
They even took the Hildebrand- Evans
shoes, and "Hildy" had to travel down
to his hotel in his spiked dogs"
Detectives are on the case. 1t Is
believed the thieves packed their
booty in a satchel. mixed with the
crowd after the game, and thus es'
capped detection.

by Jameson, Milan. Rice and Speaker

Judge. Wamby, Ellerbe and Chap

Guy Norton pitched brilliantly,
though he suffered two runs in the

tremendous speed, tanning seven of
the Griffmen. Only fie hits were
made off his stun. Shaw, too, was
good until the concluding innings.
Then he was touched up freely.
The Grifrs have now dropped three
games in row and used up most of

HARRY VARDON, BARNES,

LONDON, July 9.-Harry Vardon
and Edward Ray, the noted British
professional golfers, left London this
morning to board the steamer Celtic
at Liverpool for New York. With
them was Jim Barnes, the Amer can

he would come to England again next

the chair. My legs ached. My back

Jim Shaw lost to Guy Morton, 4 to .,

It's all about those chairs in the

you see. They can stand anything.
They think those chairs may get back
from the factory some day. maybe by
next year or the year after. But Mr..
Wiseman is through. Never again
for him, he says.
What do you care about those
chairs? Well. mebbe not much. but
the details of the double-header are
even less interesting, take 1T from
me, who sat through them on one of
those torturing chairs. The Griffs
were tucked out in the first, though
they played some dumb baseball, too.
But in the second Snyder couldn't
hold a respectable lead and Schacht
was hit hard. That's all today.

TELLS OF INQUIsITION.
"I read once in a book of the
Spanish Inquisition, how they used to
torture people and 1 began to think
OF that book and those tortures
They had a terrible chair in which
they tied folks. 1t did not tilt
properly. 1t hurt when you put your
head back. 1t hurt when you
Strengthened up. 1t hurt no matter
how you sat in 1t.
"Then Cleveland got another run
in the eighth and another in the
ninth and won the game.
"I got some rest while the Walter
Reed Hospital Camp No. 81, American
Legion. was getting ready to present
Clark Griffith and Capt. Il. w. Jordan
with medals for their unfailing
courtesies, etc. But as soon as the
second game began I began to lose
interest in all but my chair. 1t was
growing worse, not better. .. Q.
81 said to Demon Thompson, "Do
you have to sit in a chair like this p
and he said he did.
NYE SAYS 1T. TOO.
"Then said to Jack Nye, do you
have to sit in a chair like this?' and
he said he did.
"Then I saw that George Moreland
wise old guy, had different kind
Of a chair. 1t was a stool with a back
like a typewriter chair has. and I said
to him, How did you get that chair p
and he said he swiped it out Of the
baseball office.
"By that time the Clevelands and
the Griffs were making all kinds OF
runs, but all I could think Of was my
back. The various vertebrae were
each singing different kind Of a
song, each a dirge. Ny collar was
way up the back of my neck. My
knees were jammed up, and I said
to Demon Thompson, why don't they
get some better chairs" and he said
they couldn't. And I said, why noty
and he said, They're in the factory
now
ASKS FITZ GERALD.
"Then I asked Fitz Gerald about
the chairs. He was in the back row,
where he could stretch out his legs,
but a couple Of strange folks were in
front of him and he was having a
terrible time stretching his neck to
see the plate, and I said to him, why
don't they get some chairs so you
can see the game?' and he said he
didn't know.
81 said, Cant they get any decent
chairs up here?' and he said, They're
in the factory now, so I'm told And
1 said, What good is it to have them
in the factory when the game is out
here?' but he said he didn't know.
"Then I sat stilk a while and
watched Cleveland knock Snyder out
of the box and Erickson twist his
trick knee and AL Schacht get his
bumps. But there wouldn't have been
any pleasure, even il the Griffs were
winning, which they weren't. How
can you have pleasure sitting on one
of those chairs in the press box?

critic, came in, but he didn't stay
