with 8, in 1905 with 12 and in 1907
with 7. He also led the league In
doubles in 1902, 1905 and 1907 with
43, At and 81, respectively.
Before joining the Athletics he
played with the New York Giants
Pittsburgh Pirates and the Provi-
dence and Pawtucket R. H. clubs
He also was manager of the Cleve-
land Indians for part Of the 1912
campaign, resigning to return to the

This allows them 80 days of posi-

Shauer said he believed there was

NEWPORT, r. l., Aug. 12-With
frankie Parker, twice national sin
giles champion, and all but one
seeded foreign entry already elm
mated from singles competition,
spectators at the once more glitter
ing Casino tennis tourney today
looked for more upsets.
Sole survivor among the top flight
foreigners in singles was Frances
Raoul Abdesselman, who did not
swing a racket yesteday. Officials
Of this 18th annual tournament
which resumed its prewar brilliance
said that Abdesselman would meet
Baltimore's Dever Hobbs today.
Parker was eliminated in the Sec
ond round yesterday by Herb Flam
national junior titlist in 1916. The
Beverly Hills, Calf, youngster oust-
ed Parker 8+6 and 11-9.
In justice to Parker, it should be
recorded that he recently suffered a
shoulder strain and twice fought
back from 0-3 counts in the first
set and o. in the second but was
unable to outplay F1am.
Foreigners who were eliminated
included Argentina's first seeded
Enrique Morea, Belgium's Jan Peten

BOSTON, Aug. 12.-There's a
sneaking suspicion a B-29 could be
rolled across home plate and the
Mats wouldn't succeed in denting
the fabric with cleavers. They've
averaged 51s hits game for their
last nine contests and over that
span haven't registered more than
seven hits game.
The Mats are participating in no
merriment these days, but at least
they're sharing in excitement
When they dropped a 10 verdict
to the Boston Red Sox here last
night, Fenway Park virtually erupt-
ed after Joe Rue, umpiring at third
base, called Bobby Doerr out on
an attempted steal in the eighth in
ming.
Rue's decision was greeted with
explosive disapproval by 24,043 Gus
toners, who saw Earl johnson limit
the Mats to three hits. Doerr pro-
tested vigorously before walking
away, at which point Coach Del
Baker took over the verbal blast
ing. He promptly was waved from
the proceedings by Rue, but re-
manned on the premises momentarily
to unload additional naughty words
in Rue's direction.
A seething manager, Joe Cronin,
then stormed to the third-base
coaching line, but didn't get around

Case First Nat Pensioner
Under New Baseball Plan

George Case will be the r1rst
Washington baseball player to
benefit from the pension plan
adopted by the major leagues
this year when he officially
retires next month.
Case, who decided last week to
drop from the game because Of
back trouble, visited President
Clark Griffith of the Mats yes
terday and asked to be put on
the voluntary retired list. Griff
consulted the records and found
that Case broke into the major
leagues on September 7, 1896,
with Washington. That would
make him a 10-year-man on
September 7 this year, and he
easily persuaded Case to with
hold his retirement until that
date. -. .-.

DR.. Joe Trigg said Hursey, 96-84,
and Judge Bob Dwyer made it a
deadlock at 91-91.
Rematch in Winter Looms.
There's already some talk bv
Liberty A. C. promoters about an
other fight between these two
which would be the fourth in this
series-but it probably won't come
this summer. 1t might be a good
light to draw big crowd to the
opening indood card at the National
Guard Armory-if and when that
plant opens for sports shows.
Kapilow appeared overcautious
at the start-he still remembered
that 4l-second knockout last time
but Smuggy didn't press him.
Danny was content to peck away
with long jabs and an occasional
hook, while Smuggy didn't pour
leather as of old, but seemed rather
to be looking for a spot to land a
knockout punch.
Hursey began pressing in the
third, but Kapilow kept out of
reach and countered with jabs and
crosses. He protected himself well
and the brief f1urries of slugging
thereafter ended with honors about
even. Hursey did open a cut over
Danny's left eye in the sixth, but
otherwise the two were unmarked.
Fight Seen by 13,745.
The crowd of 13,745 was about
1000 less than saw these boys a
month ago. The gross gate was
$40,S87.06 and the net $3O,89212.
The preliminaries were marked by
the end of a 12-match winning
string for Sonnyboy West, local
welter and Hursey stablemate. He
was outpointed in six rounds by
Harry CTex) La Sane of Houston
Tex. Only one knockout was reg
istered and that just beat the last
bell as Billy Lanham, local heavy
stopped al Edwards, another local
boy at 2:52 Of the sixth. In other
bouts, j. C. wilkins took an upset
over AL Wright in six heats and
Roscoe Mercer decisioned Boy
