That's where we are safe" spoke up
a Western owner. II am perfectly will
ing to give players all that I can afford
to give, but the very fact that they
know Ruth can do things that they
cannot do and that he attracts spec
tators to the games will make them
reasonable SO far as demanding SAL
aries is concerned. In addition to that,
they know we can't pay them. If we
try to go much higher we shall go
broke and that means shut down."
Base ball is doing well this year, but
only in spots. Bad weather cut into
things severely. Increased interest in
| base ball Is in evidence. There has
been an increase since the war. It has
| f1uctuated and it always will. Some
times one club gets it and sometimes
another. There have been seasons in
each major league in which all teams
did little better than break even
financially on the year, but such sea-
sons are very in1requent.
This year Ruth's contract to play
base ball expires. His signature to an
other, if he is in trim again, will not
We obtained without great deal Of
publicity.
1t is not likely that the American
League will be consulted as to whether
Ruth shall be paid $4,000 in 1890. It
Is more probable that Col Rupert will
be thinking of his future and of the
standard set for base ball salaries gen.
orally.
| At this moment there are some SAL
aries in major league base ball which
are out of all proportion to the value
OF the players. The Brooklyn pitchers
are being paid too much money. This
Is only one instance The Cincinnati
players are very well recompensed and
they even held out when they couldn't
bat well enough to make such demands.
BAH players who ask large addition
to their checking accounts in 1890
won't get 1t. They may as we'll make
up their minds to it now as anv other
time. They have been living high, buv-
ing gasoline galore, and some of them
nave been playing ball that would not
pass muster quarter of century ago.

Judges Double-Play Skill
Helps Liska Defeat Tribe

TOE JUDGE, washington's veteran
first baSeman, who has been in
slight slump for several weeks,
~ played a role of tremendous i'm
portance in the Nationals 5-to-2
victory over the Cleveland Indians Sun
day. It was Joe's double in the second
inning that started Washington to
four-run rally against big John Miljus,
and 1t was his sensational fielding later
in the game that halted the Indians
attempts to make the situation trying
for Ad Liska.
Judge started two double plays to
shortstop and back again as only Joseph
can do. Players on other clubs declare
the Washington man the greatest In
the game on that type Of double play.
In the sixth inning he and Cronin got
Fonseca and Joe Sewell, and in the
eighth caught the feet Eddie Morgan
and Charlie Jameson.
Ad Liska pitched his second great
game of the season against Cleveland.
He was beaten over in Ohio in May,
although he allowed only two hits. On
Sunday he gave up seven hits, and
three of them fell from the bats OF
-hitters. Bib Falk was the only
indian to find Adolph an easy mark:
Bib singled twice and drove In both OF
the Indian runs.
Washington drove John Miljus out OF
the game in the second inning, although
he finished that round. Judges double
was followed by pass to Hayes, ana
then Ruel singled and Myer and Rice
doubled. Wesley Terrell, a young In
dian recruit from North Carolina,
pitched the next five innings, and held
the Nationals at his mercy. He then
gave way for pinch-hitter, and against
Melvin Harder Washington scored It's
final run in the ninth. Hayes worked
the delayed steal after forcing Barnes
and took third on Luke Sewells throw
into center field. Ruel again hit safely
to score Jack.
Cleveland had won 7 out OF its last
10 games before coming TO Washington
and had taken successive series from
Chicago, Boston and New York. The
indians were fighting hard for the
game. as 1t meant fourth place for tho n
with Detroit losing at Boston.
The Indians now will shoot their
three star pitchers, Shaute, Hudlin and
linn. against the Nationals. linn, q
recruit, has allowed only one run In is
innings, and that was gift, as the
Indians were leading by IL runs.
Earl Averill, the Indians high-priceo
outfielder from San Francisco, failed to
get a hit off Liska, but played f1ne
game in the field. He is said to be
faster than Roy johnson of the tigers
and the greatest fielding center fielder
in the league.
! II was Liska's second start since he
was injured, over two weeks ago, and he
pitched remarkably fine ball. The In

with three wins in as many
starts. Hawks yesterday added their
third win, downing Edmonds Art Stone

Buddy Kopp was the big noise in the
Hawks victory. All he did was to pitch
in fine style and collect four bingles,
including a home run.
National Press Building Cardinals de-
feated st. Joseph'S, to 3, in the only
other game staged in the unlimited

was largely responsible for the Cards
win.
In the senior section Montrose and
THYME Aces were tied for first place,
each with two victories in as many
games. Largely through the lusty
clouting of Harvey Carlson, Montrose
registered a Ga triumph over Miller

In the dozen games up to today
he has been in as substitute in
this stretch the 'Bama boy has
banged the ball at a 1881 clip and
has f1elded for an average OF 1884.
That's substituting with ven
geance, it seems. In fact, SubSt1-
tuting at much faster pace than
many of the Nationals are follow
ing as regulars.
Hayes has figured prominently in the
clubs offenSe since he got back into
the game. In AZ times at bat he has
socked Is hits, three of them two
baggers. He has made but one sacr1hce
hit and swiped only two bases, yet he
has managed to drive over seven runs
and score six times himself Three
passes have come his way, and he has
been looking over the pitching carefully,
for only once has he been strlkeout
victim. Then he let the third one
60 by.
His fielding has been of high order.
In the dozen games he has had %
chances come his way and accepted IS
of them. His first error came yesterday
In the fifth innin~ when he let Jack
Tavener's grounder go through. Before
making this misplay Hayes as sub
stitute had handled cleanly SO consecu-
tive chances. That's great fielding for
any second baSeman, regular or suostl-
tute.
Jack may not have been particularly
brilliant in his trial string OF Is games
at the outset of the season; he may not
have been so impressive in his four-day
workout during the latter part of the
Western trip in May. but since coming
back, about two weeks ago, he has
played as well as could be asked Of any
youngster. And he deserves thorough
testing this time before final judgment
Is passed.

ntcked for $4,000, the cash turned over
to the Toledo club of the American
Association for the services of Paul Nc
Culloligh, pitcher. The case of the
pitcher, who failed to report to the
Nationals until three months after he
was ordered to join the club, because OF
illness suffered during the Winter. was
placed before the base ball commissioner
b President Clark Griffith, who main
tanned the player was in such poor
physical condition that he would be OF
no value to Washington, and asked that
the deal with the Toledo club be can
celed and the $4,000 returned to the
local treasury. But at meeting in the
willard Hotel yesterday Lands ruled
against the Washington club.
Not only did Griffith contend that
Mccullough was so weakened physically
by his illness in the Winter that he
would be of no value to the Nationals,

the pitcher in Baltimore at the COM

TINE week end campaign in the
major leagues found both the
Giants and the Pirates arriving
Il at the end of their spurtS, but
giving their opponents no guar
antee against an immediate resump-
ton.
Red Lucas pitched one of the best
games he has flashed this season to
shade the veteran Jack Scott and the
Giants by 2 to l at Redland Field
yesterday as the Pirates crumpled before
an eight-round assault at Ebbets Field,
where the Robins took a 9-to-6 de-
cision.
The defeat of both of the teams cur
rently rated as the most dangerous In
the National League, enabled the Cardl-
mails and the Cubs to improve their
positions a bit. The Red Birds had
some difficulty with Claude Willough-
by, but punched their hits in such a
way as to win by to 4. Jess Haines
was tight in the pinches, and had to
be, as the Phils outhit his support, Is
to 8.
Wilson'S Homer Wins.
Artie Nehf found young Ben Cantwell
a tough opponent in Chicago, and the
Cubs won by 2 to l only because Hack
Wilson nicked Cantwell for a home
base. The Braves had scored In their
own half Of the round on Maguires
double and Harper's single. Each side
totaled only four hits.
The Cards climbed to within half a
game of the Pirates and remained one
contest ahead of the third-place Bruins.
The margin between the Pirates and
the Giants was unchanged at three ana
one-half games.
-
arranged after the regular schedule
was drawn, was lost by the Pirates be-
cause Jess Petty weakened in the
eighth, permitting the Robins to score
four times. Doug McWeeny had been
driven from the box in the seventh
when the Pirates assumed lead OF
to 6, and so surrendered to elise Dudley
his successor, official credit for the VIC
tory.
Paul and Lloyd Waner each weighed
in with home run against McWeeny,
but these blows failed to balance the
heavy sticking of Herman and other
Robins.
With Babe Ruth in the stands as a
spectator, the Yankees stampeded the
Browns by II to 2 in the series opener
yesterday. Lou Gehrig and Sammy Byrd
led the early assault with home runs,
Gehrig with two and Byrd with one,
and after that the YankS coasted, hit
ting everything that was served to
them.
