KACEYS HOPEFUL OF VICTORY OVER
 WARE IN SECOND GAME SUNDAY

in the hitting week ago he is rated as a good sticker and in facing Nic- hGls three weeks ago he hit a triple and homer. With these additions
 to the local lineup it gives them a well balanced team from a hitting
 standpoint. As for fielding the teams
 are about evenly matched Kenyon,
 who is doing the backstop work for
 the local aggregation is the equal of
 Flaherty. Babe Adams is far ahead of Lynch as fielding first sacker and is equally as good a hitter. On sec ond Ware has Putnam to balance with
 Davidson, there being little difference between these twG0 boys. At. short Bobba Conley is slightly topped by Ramyck in hitting ability. Sank on third is way ahead of Bennett both in fielding short hits and in hitting.
 In the outfield Powers, Mckay and
 Clabby look just as good as the Ware outer gardeners with perhaps a shade
 in favor of the local team by the ad- dition of Powers.
 1 Taken as a whole there is practical | ly no difference in the strength of 1 the two teams and the breaks of the 1 game will decide the victor. It is ex- 1 pected that the largest crowd of the
 season will be present at the game and suitable parking accommodations l have been made.

TO LESLIE MANN


 New York, Aug. 1S-"S "Shuffin' Phil' Douglas. pitcher barred from organized baseball because of a letter he wrote of fering to throw down the Giants, today declared the letter was sent to Leslie Mann, St. Louis Cardinal outfe1der. Douglas said that following the last game he pitched on July 31 he went to the apartment of a friend, "got drunk and went to sleep" He added that two de- tectives dragged him from the apart rnent and took him to a sanatorlum, where he was held until Aug. 5.
 Cpon his release, he said. believing McGraw, manager of the Giants, had suspended him, he wrote to Mann, who was in Boston With the Cardinals. the letter offering to Ego to a fishing camp if this was desired because he was afraid that if he stayed with the Giants he would win the pennant for him (neaning McGraw).'
 After writing the letter the pitcher claimed he was calIed to the Polo grounds by McGraw. When left I knew I had not been discharged" Douglas said.
 Following the visit to McGraw's office, Douglas said he called Mann on the long distance telephone and requested him to tear up the letter. Although Mann agreed to do this, the pitcher added. he showed the letter to hlS manager, Brancn Rickey, who in turn informed McGraw, Commissioner Landis and John Heydler, president of the National league.
 The former Giants star declared that he was drunk, that he had been given | hypoderrnios and that he was not himself when he wrote to Mann. He realized l this, h6 said. too late. On the same day that he requested Mann to destroy the | letter Douglas said Dr. William Bender 1 the Chants club physician, called at his apartment and gave him hypodermics tc quiet his nerves, and that he. repeated i these Cnlinistrations for two days
 In Pittsburgh, Douglas was summoned according to his story, to McGraw's room. There he was questioned by Judge Landis, who finally told McGraw that he ] could not use Douglas any more.
 While he was in the sanatoriuna Doug las said McGraw fined him S100 and five days pay. and that he was given a bil for taxicab fare and treatment i'm the sanatorium The latter amounted tt SPA.
 T was broke,s' the big pitcher said. |" thought. McGraw had fired me I haven got any way of making a living exeep in baseball and I was sore on McGraw. had to do something for a living so wrote to Mann
 I'm not sore at Mann because he turn ed the letter over to Rickey It was al
 my fault.

 Chet Nichols, rated as one of the foremost semi pro pitchers in New
 England this season will oppose Art Reynolds, Georgetown premier hurler, and if good support is given both pitchers it will be real mound duel. Revnolds pitched good ball in the game
 against Ware but his support was 1 ragged and Nicholss although pitch ing no better ball was returned vic tor. Chet Nichols has a snappy a fielding and hard hitting team as has 1 yet been up against the local boys and that is one reason why Nichols has such an excellent record for the sea i son. In his last game against Airing | ton he was touched for 10 hits but snappy fielding with men on bases
