Some years ago he was with a
certain Western club and the
players had considerable trouble
with the owner over salary. Now,
there is nothing unusual about an
owner of a ball club havin9 a bald

The pitcher who was working, got
into trouble and Mails was called

Coming into the bench he was

Big league scouts say that The
Giants have landed a real sepsa-

is strictly a product of the cur

Davies from New Haven. OF the
Eastern League, where they\ had

Davies is to report at the Poo

he was graduated from Amherst

Then Davies was released.
Davies is on his way to a new
record for shutouts. He has pitched
eleven of these and missed a
twelfth by a margin of only one
run. Davies has a lot of stuff, and
one Of his assets is control, for lac
has issued only twelve bases OH
balls in the process of winning six
games since July Is.
In all, the Amherst collegian has
won seventeen games this season.
Quite a record for a youngster Of

Floyd Fitzsimmons Expects to
Get Last Signature for
Dempsey Bout
By DAVIS .. WALSH

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-Floyd
F'itzsimmons. boxing promoter and
collector of rare and well done au-
tographs, informed the writer this
morning that he expected to secure.
obtain and otherwise take into cap
tiyity before nightfali the signature
OF Paddy Mullins to q contract Tor
a Dempsey Wills match in 1895.
Having duly exhibited the cham
pion's signature to Mullins yester-
day. the Michigan City man will
attempt to rush Mullins into a deal
at another conference today.
The writer wishes him luck, for
he win need it. Paddy believes in
shooting only when he sees the
whites OF their eyes and the straw
berry mark under the left shoulder.
Show him $780, 00.94 and he viii
begin to count the pennies.
Fitzsimmons declined to state
when and where today's conference
would take place. The young min
has become quite mysterious and ID
alleged to be wearing rubber heels
on his timer tips. He wouldnst say
what demands Mullins was making
on behalf OF Wills, neither would he
divuIge what site, IL any, he had
in mind for the bout.
On the best of authority, however,
the writer can say that II win take
place somewhere between the Rocky
mountains and the Gowanus canal.

Informed that Jack Kearns has
threatened to sign Dempsey for the
Wills fight before the boxing COM
mission on Friday, Fitzsimmons
said with the air of coming an cpl

incidentally Fitzsimmons denied
that he had promised Dempsey a
cool million for the fight or, in fact,
any stated sum. He said there was
nothing in the contract about a
million dollars and added that four
towns near Chicago stood ready to
receive the extravaganza with open
arms and nonstop cash registers.

I AS 7 BALL
PASSES
AWAY
So Say Major League Players
as They Point to Low
Score Contests
Bv LOUIS A. BOUCHER
Snnrfs Editor, The Times

Sports Editor, The Times
Major leaguers, especially in
fielders, believe that much of the
rabbit has been taken out of the
rabbit ball since the National
League leaders conferred with the
manufacturers in New, York some
three weeks ago. They point to
the increased number of low score
games since that time as partial
evidence substantiating their
claim. Also, they say they are able
to play in closer now than they
could a month or so ago. If it IS
true that the ball niw in use
is a bit slower, this may prove a
blessing to the Griffmen. They
lack the smuggling propensities OF
their chief rivals, the Philadelphia
Athletics, but in every other de-
partment they are either as good
or better.
Ban Johnson laughs at stories OF
q rabbit ball. So does Clark Griffith.
Both say that poor pitching is re-
sponsible for much of the hitting
today, poor pitching coupled with
increased confidence on the part OF
batsmen. who now take toeholds
where they once had a foot in the
bucket.
Nevertheless, pitchers and in
fielders insist that the rabbit ball
is a fact, that il hops through the
infield faster than they can move
across in front OF it, and that it is
positively dangerous when lined
back toward the box. The pitchers
claim to be almost unable to use
curves. their fingers failing to get
sufficient grip upon the cover OF
the ball.
Whatever the reason, one must
believe I'm change somewhere.
Either the pitchers are improving
toward the flag end Of the cam
paign or the ball has been
changed. Certainly Washington
curve ball pitchers, like Ruether
and Zachary, are exhibiting the
widest of benders.
With a slower ball the Griffmen
should see their speed on the bases,
their ability to lay down sacrifices
and their throwing outfielders
amount to a little more than they
have with the jack rabbit sphere
leaping and hopping all around the
lot, putting a premium upon the
mere slugger and handicapping the
smart player.
Major leaguers believe that the

ports given out after Ii, has re-

ures almost every day. Even the
kids in the street were beginning
TO laugh at the cricket games being
staged in the major leagues.
Home runs, too, have fallen off
considerably in recent weeks,
though the same batsmen are play
ing day after day. Now and then
a Hornsby, an AL Simmons, or a
Gabby Hartnett belts one on the
beezer for the circuit, but the rest
Of the boys not normally sIuggers
are contenting themselves with
mere doubles and, now and then,
a triple.
While the magnates may laugh
to scorn all thoughts of a rabbit
ball. nevertheless, glancing merely
at the home-run records of this
season makes the gan think a bit
for himself.
On August 10, 1921 there had
been a total Of 686 home runs
credited to both big leagues. Four
years later this total had in
creased to 892, a gain of 206.
And Babe Ruth is out Of the

Here are the home run totals
up to and including August 10
