day. The game you played yes

Myer comes under the heading Of

GriffS must seek new men to boil
ster the club.
Joe Kuhel, a nifty first base
man, is in the same category.
Dow in Chattanooga is o kid
named Jimmy Wasdell. He isn't
as good as Kuhel is at this writing,
but he has youth. The Griffs can't
go any place with this club, and
there's no need of anyone kidding
himself on the subject. The sim
pering "yes men" can alibi from
now until then, but this club has
to be shaken to it's foundation

will have to be replaced-before
it can win.
The spring of 1887 must be writ
ten into history as The Season of
the Great DeluSion."
Stanley Harris permitted flash
in the pan to fool him completely.
He accepted one season as gauge
on the ability of Joe Cascarella,
who is off somewhere or other.
Harris bet $40 that Cascarella
would win Is games. He might
do that in the Kitty League.
Harris figured on Appleton.
whose entire major-league career
was streaked with failure. There
has been more or less buck-paSSing
on the subject of Appleton, but
facts stand. Pete had a good year
last year.
Harris was not alone in his de-
lusionS. President Clark Griffith
made the official announcement
that the club would finish in the
first three. Griff was fooled, it
would seem, as completely as was
his, manager.
Yves Terrell reverted to tripe
yesterday out in Cleveland. He
was nothing if not tripe against
the Yankees, and he threw that
same nothing ball" against the In
dams. He has been fine bust in
his last couple Of starts, although
he looked great a couple of times.
It may be said that Yves Terrell
was the pitcher whom Harris
wanted least of all the Red Sox.
Harris wanted Ostermueller, and
because the Red Sox demurred,
Harris wanted to call off the deal.
AS a matter of fact, Harris knew
nothing about the trade until
Griff called him in st. Louis and
let him in on the secret. Harris
knew nothing of the Hill deal with
Athletics, which makes more than
one person wonder whether Har-
ris is director of play or manager
of the ball club.
There is a difference.

Mile Record

GOSHEN, N. Y, July 17.-Rac-
ing against time, E. j. Bakers
Greyhound today held the newly
established world mile record for
trotters after turning in mile in
1:57A over the half-mile historic
track here.
Greyhound's startling perform
ance was two and a quarter sec
onds faster than the half-mile
track mark he set at Allentown,
Pa, last fall and completely
eclipsed the record of 2:0224 set
by c. K. G. Billings Uhlan in 1911.
Veteran horsemen here regarded
Greyhound's time as sensational,
pointing out that the half-mile
track is three to four seconds
longer than the mile track.

one match and Bulge and Won
Cramm in the other.
Moreover, it brought the situa-
ton down to a duel between Bulge
and Own Cramm, No. l men of
Germany and the United States,
respectively, with their meeting
Tuesday likely to decide the
issue.
Won Cramm was unbeatable
against Grant today and proba-
bly, would have beaten the d.
minutive Atlanta player even if
the latter had been at the top
of his game, instead Of suffering
from the aftermath Of a heavy
cold.
He simply outplayed and out
unanswered Grant at every turn
and overcame Grants chief as
set-tantalizing lobs.
Henkel at no time was a match
for the tall re-haired Bulge, who
brought his game to the heights
in taking the SeEond set, 81.
At no time was the match close
enough to give the American a
scare. He dominated throughout,
with an all-around game that will
make his meeting with Won
Cramm a classic of the courts,
especially if the Davis Cup is
riding on the outcome.

Parade of Pitchers
The Cards shot the works yes

ing the Phutile Phils loose in a
doubleheader, 1913 and 1910, the
performance being more a parade
of pitchers than a couple of ball

both games and Bucky Walters
was the loser. The GaShouse
GangSters won the nightcap with
eight runs in the tenth-that's
the kind of ball they were playing
into the dusk.
Meanwhile, the Pirates were
trimming the Giants, 4 to 3, in IL
innings due largely to the superb
relief pitching for eight heats of

Fette, the 30-year-old rookie, was
adding his eleventh victory against

The one National League game

The Yankees lost some ground

they bowed to the Detroit Tigers,

The Yankees margin was cut to
