IN EXHIBITION GAME
WITH DAYTON CLUB

DAYTON, O.. June ga regular
ball game was staged at Triangle park
for fave innings Tuesday afternoon,
but the Triargles could not keep up
the good work, with the result that the
Reds, by punching hits with errors
in the closing rounds, succeeded in
carrying off the bacon by the score
of 10 to 9
The contest was enlivened by an
exhibition of the manly art. with
Greasy Neale and Jim Holland, who
was umpiring behind the bat, filling
the principal roles. Neale kicked on
q called strike and Holland became
neeved and struck at Neale, and a
lively issue followed
The Triangles scored a run in both
the second and third rounds on hard,
clean hitting, while the Reds scored
at will in the latter part of the game,
getting two runs in the seventh and
eight rounds and three in the ninth.
Donohue and Douglas, late of the
Christian college, Fort Worth, Texas,
did the battery work for the Reds and
showed UP TO good advantage. Dono-
hue was a bit shaky at the start, but
settled down after the third round
and hurled shut-out ball. He did not
give base on balls and was given
perfect support in the field, especially
by Groh and Kopi.

MYSTERIOUS THINGS
COOKED Up BY CARP

MANHASSET, \. Y, June %
Mysterious things occurred this morn
ing at Georges Carpenters training
camp and when an explanation was
requested the answer came in a whis-
per: 'Shhh, it's a secret and we
cannot tell"
About eight o'clock a big limousine
stopped at the front gate and the
chauffeur hailed trainer Wilson and
the latter came down and opened the
gate. The machine pulled inside and
three heavyweights stepped from il.
To conceal their identity they pulled
their coat collars about their faces
and ran into the residence.
A few early birds who hung over
the fence waited and watched. Soon
they saw four men clad in bathrobes
leave the backdoor and hasten behind
the barn where Georges does his train
ing.
Noises sounding like the tattoo of
fists upon q punching bag could be
heard for time, then there was
silence for 20 minutes. First one and
then another Of the robed figures filed
into the house.
The last appeared to be the chailen-
ger himself. Trainer Wilson followed
them, carrying several pairs of boxing
gloves
Another half hour and the three
heavyweights still hiding their faces
entered the car and were whisked
away

STOLEN BASE, ONCE
POPULAR, SUCCEEDED
BY HEAVY HITTING
6Bv Associated Press,

CHICAGO, June 22.-The stolen
base, once one of the biggest factors
in the attack OF world championship
baseball teams, has been thrown into
the discard by the major league man
ayers of today. Records show that
there were nearly three times as
many stolen bases in the American
league and nearly twice as many in
the National league nine years ago as
there were last year and indications
are that the decrease this year over
nine years ago will be still greater.
Where there were ten star base steal
ers there is now only one.
Many reasons for the decrease are
adV.Slced by managers and men who
formerly were noted for their daring
on the paths. While all agree that
heavy hitting has helped in the ten
dency TO make the stolen base extinct
some also blame the ineffectiveness
OF pitchers, failure Of umpires to en-
force the balk rule and the scarcity of
fast men. Ty Cobb, the greatest base
runner in history, says that the stolen
base has been discarded only temper
arlly and will return soon.
Each Cycle in Turn
Cobb declares that the game moves
in cycles and that following the
cycles of great pitching and great
base running, we now have the cycle
of great hitting.

stealing is a back number said the
Detroit manager, whose stolen base
mark formerly was close 10 the 100
figure for a season But, the hitting
will pass. Then we will again return
to the cycles Of pitching and base
running. Five years from now my
base running marks may be eclipsed
by some youngster now in grammar
school"
iris Speaker, manager of the world
champion Cleveland Indians, com
tines ineffectiveness of pitching with
heavy hitting as the reason for lack
of stolen Sases.
THE base runner of today is the
man who can go from first to third or
from second home on single, not
the man who can steal IS bases in a
season" said Speaker The ineffec-
tiyeness Of the modern pitcher has
brought about the heavy hitting and
indirectly, the decrease in stolen
bases. We have no pitchers TO-DAY
like Mathewson, Joss, Walsh, Plank
Waddel. Brown and other stars of ten
years ago. The average pitcher of to-
day throws the ball up and hopes il
won't hit him coming back"

Gambling on baseball combats IS
rapidly becoming extinct.
Unceasing vigilance and drastic
measures have driven hundreds OF
sure thing" men--and some women,
too-from the ball parks.
And the fight won't stop until gaInb-
ling has no more part in the national
game, declared Ban Johnson. 1t was
the American League president who
perfected the plans prior to the open
ing of the season which have so effec-
lively crushed the gambling monster.
Not merely do uniformed police cir
culate through the stands to circum-
vent bettors. But nearly dozen plain
clothes men, in the employ of the two
big leagues, attend every game, diplo-
matically shoe" away all known base
ball gamblers and toss out of the parks
every person who tries TO make a
wager of any sort.
Honesty is Foundation.
Gambling has no place in base
ball" declared Johnson. Its very ey-
istence communicates the game that
can live only through cleanness. The
very foundation of baseball rests on
its honesty. Gambling tends to make
ii dishonest"
The Yankee owners have backed
Johnson TO the limit in his fight
against gambling The plain clothes
men were very busy through the first
two weeks of the campaign effiecting
from the parks men who wanted to bet
on the games. But, of late, they have
had little to 90 because the word has
been passed all along the gambling
line in New York-as well as in other
cities
Mean Business.
Those baseball people mean bust
ness. No use going to the park. You
can't bet there. All you'll get is toss
out On your neck"
Two women were elected from one
rark during the first week in May
They were openly selecting bets-and
in large amounts. II was learned
