KAMM GOING STRONG
"Willie of the White SoX" Now Bids
Fair to Skater the Leagues Two
Base Hit Record.

Chicago, Aug. 1o.-The Dublin
Kid" is the nickname the White Sox
players have slipped to Third Base
man Bill Kamm, better known as the
100000 beauty.
But the title has nothing to do with
Bills ancestry or birthplace. It's the
result of Kamm's hobby of hitting
doubles or two-baggers.
kamm threatens to break the ma
jor league record in this respect. With
about so games to go he has more
than 80 doubles to his credit. If he
goes along at the clip that he has
maintained to date he is almost sure
to set new mark.
The major league record for two
base hits during a season is held by
the late Ed DeIehanty. During the
season of 1899, while playing with
the Philadelphia club of the National
league. Delehanty recorded Sc two
base hits.
Delehanty's feat has stood up under
the assaults of the games greatest
batters for rs years. The mark was
seriously menaced in 1912 when Iris
Speaker, playing with the Boston Red
Sox, totaled SO doubles. That stands
as an American league record.
Kamm attains his greatest speed
after reaching first base. Once he
passes the initial sack he is in high.
This fact, coupled with his ability to
grasp possibilities quickly, enables
him to stretch what would be a single
to the ordinary runner into a double.

Comeback

New York, Aug. 10.-Pal Moran of
New Orleans, and Jack Bernstein of
New York, junior lightweight cham
pion, fought 10 rounds to a draw in
the" New York Velodrome last night.

champion in the seventh round and
had him holding as the contest ended.
Bernstein worked his famous left
hook effectively in the first four
rounds and ""1 HN~an dizzy from the
blows, The New Orleans boy tried in
vain to get may nc junior titlehold-
er's jaw in these rounds. In the
fifth, countering Bernstein's hooks
with left swings, Moran took the lead
and cut Bernstein's mouth and left
eye.
They fought on even terms through
the sixth exchanging heavy body
blows. Moran rocked his opponent
with stiff lefts and rights to head and
body in the seventh. The eighth was
even and the ninth and 10th were
Moran's by shade. The judge de-
cision of draw met with the APP
proval of a majority of the fans.
Moran, having failed to make 131
pounds, the weight stipulated in his
agreement with Bernstein, was forced
to give the champion $500 forfeit
money. Moran weighed 1851 pounds
and Bernstein 1870.

CONNIE MACK ONE
OF GAMEST LOSERS
master Mind" Of Baseball Al
WeyS Is Optimistic

Despite the fact that the Athletics
are again trailing in the second divi-
sion, Connie Mack must be regarded
as the master mind in baseball.
Even though his club after bril-
liant start now is foundering about,
fighting to escape last place, Mack is
still the optimist.
Give me another first class pitcher,
twirler of the Bender, Coombs or
Plank type, and another fence busting
| outfielder, and my club will come close
/ to winning the pennant next year.
II have the nucleus of a great team.
II has been sorely riddled by injuries
and Illness but it is still out there
fighting for every game, 1t is a team
that doesn't quit. That is the great
est asset of a ball club, gameness."
About the middle of June was UNI
piring series in Philadelphia. At
that time the Athletics were being
heralded as the sensations of the
league. Macks proteges were only
about three games behind the Yam
KEGS who were leading the league.
Yanks Feared Athletics.
Prior to working at Philadelphia
had been with the New York club for
some time. All of the Yankee players
had the greatest respect for Mack's
team. They felt the Mackmen was
one club they had to beat out if it
continued to get good pitching.
Coming out to start the Saturday
game on June 16 with Cleveland,
chatted a few minutes on the bench
with Manager Mack.
Your club is certainly surprising
the fans all over the country" I re-
marked IF it continues to get good
pitching it ought to be just as trouble
some and as big a surprise the rest
of the race"
At that time Naylor, Heimach, Has
ty, Rommel and Harris were all doing
fine work.
MAYORS Injury Costly.
Had my first bad luck of the sea-
son few minutes ago." replied Mack.
'Naylor turned his leg while fielding
fly balls In the Quilted and his knee
appears badly injured.
"If Naylor is out for any length of
time it may play havoc with my team.
Chicago comes for series next. Nay
Tor always beats Chicago. had
planned to use him twice against the
White Sox. With him out for any
length of time my entire staff will suf-
fer. There is no telling how serious
1t may prove"
Naylor at that time had won eight
games out of nine and was the most
effective twirer in the Americana
league. His injury started the Athle-
tics on the road to ruin. He was out
over six weeks.
Long Hospital List.
Here is Mack's list of casualties
since the injury to Nayor:
Shortstop Galloway, out with a
broken finger for a month.
First Baseman Joe Hauser, cleanup
hitter, sprained his ankle and was out
for three weeks.
Jimmy Dykes, star second sacker,
hit on the knee by pitched ball, out
for two weeks. /
Southpaw Fred Heimach, wrenched |
back that put him on the shelf for "A |
month and greatly reduced his ef-
fectiveness.
Sammy Hale, out for perhaps
altogether due to a sprained
ankle.
Minor injuries too numerous to
to many other players.
Truly Connie Mack is an optimist
After all this hard luck, he can still
see pennant in 1924, if he is fortu-
nate enough to land start pitcher
and fence busting outfielder.
