Battle for Fifth Place Gets
Under Way-FranCiS
Shows Promise,

Birthplace honors in the A. A. are
at stake. Brewers and Indians are
battling for the right to lead the
second division. The home brew
boys were in town today to open a
series and the Tribesmen are OF the
opinion the Milwaukee gang Is one
team they can beat
The Brewers had a two-point lead
on the fifth rung OF the A A. ladder
today and although 1t isn't much to
scrap over, it is something.
CoOney Out of Game
Shortstop Cooney, who usually
cuts many capers on the inf1eld when
IN Indianapolis, Is out Of Brewer
lineup. He is doing time for
punching Umpire Freeman on the
jaw Prez Hickey hung a fine Of

The K. G. Blues left town Sunday
night with three out Of four in the
old bat bag. They won Friday, lost
Saturday, to and won two Sunday,
z to 4 and to s. The Saints hold a
three-game lead over the Blues in the
pennant fight and Indianapolis fans
are of the opinion the Kelleyites will
cop.
Hill hurled the first game and cou-
pie Of home runs beat him. Bunny
Brief and Branom socked the circuit
hits. An error by Brown on Becker's
hard drive also helped because it ac-
counted for two runs. Briefs homer

Another Times Hurler.
Bill Francis, Spades Park hurler,
was gwen a tryout on the Tribe
mound IN the second game Sunday
and he convinced the fans he has
promise. Darkness halted the game
after seven innings. Only four hits
were obtained off Francis, but he
walked seven and hit three. He has
been signed to a Tribe contract and
will be used again this fall.
Francis is the second Times tourney
hurler to be taken on by the Indians,
Johnny Schmutte being the other.

will you find anything about the
death of the dog in the daily press.
The "one time occurred recently at
Leesburg. Fla. when Dave" the set
ter, trained and owned by Annie Oak
ley. one of the greatest shots the
world has ever known, was struck by
an automobile. "Dave" during the
war became famous as the Red Cross
dog. His stunts brought in many
thousands of dollars for the Red
Cross. The things he did caused head
lines in the leading newspapers and
when "Dave" was bumped by M
automobile these things were all re
membered by writer's. And just to
show what is thought of Dave" q
monument has been erected over hi
grave in Leesburg. Miss Oakley was
once handed a blank check and told
to insert her own figures for Dave.
She tore up the check. There WASH
enough money in the world to pur

should more than make good. On

Of the players once under the di.
rection of John McGraw, and secured
by the Phillies in trades, two have
all but reached the stage of stardom
Walter Henline and Curtis Walker.
Then there is Goldie Rapp. a big
star in the American Association, for
whom McGraw paid fancy price,
only to have him fail. Rapp will be
captain and play third for the Phil
lies.
On the pitching staff are two form
er Giants, Hubbell and Winters.
Neither made much of an impression
while with New York.
Walter I1olke. the first, sacker, came
to Philly from New York via Bos-

In addition. Fletcher will have as

ending his days as a pitcher. for a
time acted as assistant to McGraw.
