RAY CHAPMAN, KILLED
IN BASEBALL GAME
Was One of Fasters Players In
American League-Reared
In Ohio County

New York. Aug 23.-Ray Chap
mas of the Cleveland indians, one of
the really great shortstops of big
league baseball. died at the st. Law
renee Hospital shortly before 5 o.
clock Aug. II. He never recovered
from an operation performed three
hours before to remove fragment
of bone pressing into his brain fol-
iowiag the blow On the head she re-
ceived when Carl Nays the Yankee
pitcher, hit him in Mondays ball
game.
Mays went to the District Attor-
ney's office the morning after Chap
mans death had been announced.
He showed much depression, but told
straightforward story to Assistant
District Attorney Joyce. in charge
of the Homicide Bureau, asserting
that he pitched a fast straight ball,
aimed for the inside of the plate, to
Chapman and with no intention of
hurting him. Mr.. Joyce heard his
story declared the occurrence an ac-
cident and formally released the
pitcher from custody.
Mays says that he thought the
ball hit Chapman's bat and fielded 1t
to first base with that idea and did
not know that the shortstop had
been hurt until he saw him sink to
the ground. He says that he look
ed at the ball after the accident and
found that it was slightly roughened
on one side. He showed it to the
umpire and called his attention to
the spot. The roughening probably
caused Chapman's death, for it made
the ball "ssiI'-that Is, take a
freakish jump which the man throw
ing or the batter watching would not
expect.
Mays takes great comfort from the
fact that when Chapman regained
consciousness in the club house be
fore being removed to the hospital,
he said to John Henry, the former
Washington catcher, who was one OF
his closest friends: I'm all right.
Tell Mays not to worry"

Well Known Here

Raymond Johnson Chapman was
born near Render, Ohio, County, Ky.
January Is. 1891, and was a son OF
Everett Chapman, and a grandson
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis Chapman, OF
Beaver Dam. He has many rela-
tives and friends in Ohio County.
While Ray was yet younster, his
father removed with his family to
Herrin, ILL.,, where young Chapman
and Bob Veach, the famous Detroit
outfielder began their baseball ca
reers both becoming professionals in
1910, Chapman going to Springfield,
ILL.,, and thence to Davenvort, Iowa.
A Clevelasd scout, Babe Myers, look
ed him over in 1911 and bought him
for the Maps but turned him over
to Toledo for further development.
He was called to the Maps in August,
1912. reporting the day Harry Davis
resigned as manager.
He batted. 312 that last month OF
the 1912 campaign. His sensational
work at short in 1913 was a big
factor in making Cleveland the run
nerup to the Athletics most of the
year. In sliding to third base on
the training trip of 1914, he broke
his leg and was out nearly half of
the season. The Indians finished
way down in the race as a result. He
played a phenomenal game in 1915,
but dislocated one of his knees early
in 1916 and was out for SO games.
Since then he has played wonderful
ball and been one of the greatest
stars of the league. He has played
welr over 1000 games in a Cleve-
land uniform.
Beautiful Tribute
Copies of Cleveland papers print
ed on the day of Ray Chapman's
funeral devote many columns to the
ceremonies that attended it. They

former Ohio county boy, copy is

remains.

"In paying this, our last tribute

for his ability as ballplayer." DR.

and he was a shining type of typical
American youth and great example
for others.
"Clean, wholesome, gentle and
true, he was the idol of Cleveland as
ball player-but above all, was his
gentleness and kindness as man."
Referring to the incident that
caused Chapman's death, DR.. Scullen
pleaded that mo hostile word should
be uttered against the man who was

dent"
HE feels the outcome of it more
deeply than most of us do" he said.
THE great American game of base
ball does not develop men who would
willingly try to injure another parti-
cipant in the game, and the game
could not produce a man capable of
killing another man. Chapman, we
know, would be the first to decry any
thought of revenge if he could but
speak"
Dr.. Scullen's final words were:
