ST LOUIS OUTBIDS
NEW YORK GIANTS

St Louis, July 13.-Manager Branch
Mickey last night confirmed the report
from Richmond, Va, to the effect that
the Cardinals had obtained Mike
Kircher, the leading pitcher of the
Virginia. League. To land the pitcher
the St. Louis Club was forced to out
bid the Giants, Cubs and Cleveland
Indians.
Charles KeIchner, Eastern scout for
the Cardinals, has been watching the
youngster for some time and recon-
mended. him to Hickey. Agents of the
three other major league clubs also
reported favoraib1y on Kfrcher and
competitive bidding resulted. Kircher
is big left-hander. He is six feet
tall, weighs 10 pounds and is % years
old Thus far this season he has won
16 game lost one and tied two. His
lone defeat was a 16-innlng affair,
while one of the tie games went IA
and the other IL innings.
Kircher's pitching has Richmond in
the thick of the pennant fight, and
the club will not deliver him to the
Cardinals before the end of the Vir-
ginia League season, Sept. II, unless
the team clinches the pennant or falls
out of the race before that date.

Bridgeport Falls In
Dividing Two Games
New Haven Advances BY Winning Contest From
Albany-Ray Grimes Home Run Over Left
Field Fence Features Slow Games.

BY dividing a double header with
Waterbury at Newfeld Park yester-
day, while New Haven was winning q
game from Albany, the Americans
slipped back another notch in the
Eastern League standing. Bridgeport
has gone to Waterbury for two games
today Yesterday Waterbury won the
first game. 8 to 4. when. Keliher was
unable to stop them, while the second
game was taken by Wash's employees,
to 3. and the chief feature was a
home run drive by Grimes in the first
inning when he put the ball over the
left field wall.
Keliher, who was booked for the
hrst game, was in trouble all the
time. He had difficulty in getting the
ball over and when he did the visitors
took occasion to fatten their batting
averages Fuller was strong and the
locals were unable to get to him at
any time to make 1t interesting.
The second game was altogether
different Only once during the
scrimmage did Waterbury look dan
gerous and that was in the third
stanza when Lennon wobbled for a
few minutes. That was the only time
he showed any weakness for during
the remaining innings he had Water
bury just where he wanted them.
Seaman was on the mound and the
way the local went after him was a
caution, scoring five runs in four in
nings put the. game where Bridgeport
benefited. The scores:

HITTING EN- ON A LINE
(By Masterson.)

Speaking about home run kings"
1 want to tell you that we had old
timers who could bat the ball just
hard and as often as this here Babe
Ruth that you young fellows like to
brag about. There was Edward J..
Delehanty for example. Just TWEEN
ty-four years ago this slugger, who
was playing with the Philadelphia
Nationals against the Chicago team,
knocked out four home runs and one
three Dagger in one game. When did
this here kid Babe Ruth ever do any
thing like that? If he knocks out
two home runs in game the papers
print extras about it.
Eds first homer went over the
right field wall The second swat
was only a Intercollegiate steaming
liner which Bad Bill Dahlen couldn't
quite handle. The third swat went
over the right field fence, while his
next wallop reached the club house
back of center field. When Ed went
to bat for the fifth time, all the out
fielders made a rush for the outer
fences. This time Ed slammed the
ball on the roof of the club house.
and he called it day."
RumOr has it that Gene Tunney
and Battling I1evinsky are to be
matched together in the near future.
What could be sweeter? Such a bout
would prove an excellent test for
Tunney, for although Levinsky Is not
a world-beater, he is still a good man
and if Gene can trim him decisively
J it will demonstrate clearly that he is
of championship calibre.
The fight fans would certainly well
! come such match. Up-to-date Tun-
| and he is just about now ripe for a
| fighting ability.
Old Walter Johnson, who a few
years ago was recognized as the
/ greatest twirler in the American
! League, showed the whole world that
he is still far from being in the
has been" class a short time ago when
i he pitched the first no-hit game of his
| career against the Boston Americans
! Only one man was permitted tic
| reach first, and that was due to
| error on the part of second basemar
| Harris.
This feat of Johnson's should enc
any possible question to whether
or not Walter Johnsons big league
| career is about over. No pitcher who
| is near the down-and-out class coul6
ever pitch a no-hit game. johnson
| has evidently been hampered by the
! lateness of the spring this year-as
| has been the case with a number OF
other first class pitchers-and from
now on the fans may look forward
to good work from him.

yesterday, will be given a chance to
work with the players for several
days before he is given any opposi-
ton by opposing teams.
Jack Coombs, scout for Detroit,
wired Secretary Kelly that he would
be in this city yesterday to look 'em
over, but Coombs failed to appear.
Paul Krichell, scout for the Boston
Red Sox, likes the work of Ourfeld-
err limerick and may land him in the

also likes the actions of Second Base
man King and Leftfelder Maloney of
the Worcester outfit.
