"THE Wl!(HIlfGTOf HESALD, XOIfDAY, JUlfl 26, 1811. 8 I- Savannah After Crack Commercial League Twirler Will Receive Contract This Week Complete Report - of Investigating Committee, By C. W. SWA1T. Bob Kummer, the crack twirler of the W. B. Moses team of the Commercial league, and who is also pitching for one .of the faster clubs of the Capital City League, vlll receive a eoiitract from the Savannah, team of the South Atlantic league some time, this week. -. Hummer's work has attracted the at tention of several "minor league managers, andvthe Savannah pilot, who Secured Dick Robertson and Joe Glebel from "the local Band lots. lost, no time getting after the crack box artist The final report on the, youngster was cent to the Sally circuit club yesterday, and Hummer will receive the contract for his signature at an early date. That the Post-offlce team win most likely withdraw from the Departmental League was the statement of Manager Anderson, of the mailmen, yesterday. Manager Anderson stated that he thought the Commerce and Labor leader showed -very little sportsmanship In de manding until June SO to sign outside rSayers. 7hlle the Post-offlce pilot has the same rjht to get outside ball tossers, Man Jjfcer Anderson claims that now that the Jiaborltea hav lost a couple of games, they are getting yellow, and want outside men. Before "the season started each team rmri the nrivUeea of cettlng outside play ers, but the Commerce and Labor outfit did not want any of them, and now that the Mailmen are becoming contenders for the pennant, the Commerce ana Jbaoor team wants the previous concessions. What will be done In the matter has jnot been decided, but after a conference with the members of the team Manager Anderson will make his Intentions known. As Manager Anderson states the case. It seems peculiar that the Commerce and Labor team wants to get outside ball tossers at this stage of the game. Roger Salmen, the star twirler of the Tome School for Boys, at Port Deposit, Md., has been signed by the Savannah team and will report next spring. Salmen Is a big left bander, and Scout Bob Doyle, of the Savannah team, says that Salmen Is a coming star twirler of class. And still they come back-Johnny Greer, who took another try at the pro fessional game with the Huntington QV. Va.) team of the Mountain State League, returned home last week, and at the meeting of the amateur commission Sat urday night he applied for reinstate ment as an amateur. Should the commission re-enstate Greer, any player can return and play ball, as ! Greer played for a professional team . after June 10. and that Is what rule 1 , of the playing season rules was made '.for, ta keep out the returned profes- clonals. The following Is the official report of tho committee appointed by President Young, of the amateur commission, to Investigate the charges of Manager AVII lnson: To the Officers and Members of the AnrrraT Baseball Commission of ths District of CbhJmbta.

Mr, Wilkinson stated that he had no pcdtlre or absolute knowledge that MacDonald did receire anything frcm Mr. Cornell, but that the charges In his letter were correct. That is. that MacDonald told him that he wanted his release because Mr. Cornell would pay him. Mr. John W. tsrgdals stated that Sit.

Mr. Cornell said that he did not know Mae Donald until about May 13 or 33, when he was lntrodoced by Ms, Green, of the -CathoUo Uni versity tram.

EUGENE EDWAEDS. ZED H. OOPP. B. EDWAED BEACH. Owing to his Inability to get up suffi cient Interest In Uncle Sam's, big print shop; Manager Eddie Herbert decided to withdraw1 the G. P. O. team from the District League at a meeting which was held yesterday. Two games scheduled for G. P. O. the coming week with Aloyslus and "Bureau of, Engraving- were forfeited, to the latter teams, and the fol lowing revised schedule of games was' adopted for the next six days: Monday Columbia 101 vs. Bureau. Tuesday Open, Wednesday Open. Thursday Columbia 101 vs. Aloyslus. Friday Aloyslus vs. Commissioners. Saturday Commissioners vs. Adams. As the fourth series of games had been arranged to start one week from to day, a meeting of the league will be held next Friday evening, when a new schedule will Tx drawn up and published to cover the game3 for the five remain ing teams during the balance of tho season. No attempt will be made to en large the leagug.to six" teams, and It Is proposed that the schedule will ter minate on or about August-1. In receiving Tuesday's game from the G. P. O. by forfeit, Aloyslus Is now tied with Commissioners for first honors, and U will be interesting to watch them break the tie on Friday. Adams Express Is but a few games behind this pair, and should the Expressman land Saturday's game with Commissioners the race for the flag will be airtight. A meeting of the Suburban League offi cials was held at Secretary Jones' home, SSS .yarnum street, yesterday to at on tho protests of the Parkview team In regard to the eligibility of "Ted" Sullivan, who played with Petworth on Wednes day and Saturday. The Petworth team claims that Sullivan was registered on June ID, and h? therefore a legal member of the club. Both of these protests were referred to the executive board of the .Suburban League. The fines imposed on Beckett and Cord have been Jedriced and win be paid. The loss of Richmond will be felt by the Commerce and Labor team, of the Departmental League, as Clyde did much to put them In the lead for the flag. Richmond will twirl for the D. N. Walford team of the Commercial League, It Is- understood, as well as for the Ninth team, of the Sunday School League. The article of ball that has been put up by the. Ingram team. In the Sunday School League, the past week has been one of the keenest disappolntxrints of the Sunday School race. Up to the past week the youngsters had been playing gilt-edged ball, but the absence of, their middle sacker and the overwork of Smith has been too much for the Kids to overcome. One of the best fielding teams In the league, the Kids have been playing poor ball. In the last three games a total of twenty-five errors has been charged against them and they all have proved costly; It has practically been 'decided to play a teneflt game for Spence Hanvey, of the Car team, of ths R. R. T. M. C. A. League, who has been oaused to lose time from work because of an Injury he received last Wednesday. A subscription is also In circulation amongthose Inter ested lrr the league, and so far there has been a generous response In the benefit of. this worthy cause. Harry Dodd, the former Washington ball tosser, "who Is now the sporting editor of the Savatnah Morning News, has the following to say regarding the work of Joe Glebel, . the local sandlot star, whcls catchlngfor the Savannah team: "Glebel. the kid catcher, worked both games. He showed a bit of daring in the fifth Inning' of the first game which made a fine impression on the fans. With three on and the runnei at first playing far off, Joe pegged J ike a streak to Guynup. The runner got back- Just in time to avoid the touch, but the fact that the catcher had the daring to take a -chance at a critical time was what Impressed." Dick Robertson has at last struck his stride and from all report from the Southern city bids fair to be the lead ing pitcher of. the league. The Robert-son-GIebel battery defeated Charleston Thursday, i to 2. Dick only gave them four hits. It win be Interesting to note Just what team Joe Engel does play with. To date the only team that Joe has twirled for has been the Cornell Tigers and about eighteen other nines have registered the craok box artist with th amateur com mission Commerce and Labor. Walford. Petworth, and about fifteen other teams ail dalm that Joe will play with. them. tart when asked yesterday what other outfit he -would Join, Joe did not know.

"With the lively ball In use pitchers can't afford to let batters meet It too well," Evans said. "They depend on the curve ballt to fool the batter and keep him from meeting the ball as squarely as he can meet a fast one. "Batters don't have to hit a fast ball very hard this season to get It past the Infield. Pitchers are depending on the curve Fall almost entirely when runners are ott - ANNUAL SUICIDE OF RED SOX - IS A LEAGUE CATASTROPHE By JAMBS ISA30NGER, (In Philadelphia North Americas.) One of the worst blows the American League has to survive is tho annual wrecking of the Red Sox team. Every year this team takes the field with a powerful line-up, only to smash to pieces before July 4. The reason can be quickly traced to the policy of Interference that John L Taylor pursues. When Taylor dismissed Fred Lake, his manager, after a season In which Lake made more money for the Red Sox than they ever did tiefore In history, he made a statementthat will not be soon for gotten. "The Boston club doesn't need a manager," said Taylor. Tho Boston owner' actually did appoint a successor to Lake, Patsy Donovan being tho man named, but at no time has Taylor regarded Dono van much more than an office boy. It was Taylor who made the deals, switched the team's line-up and handed out the fines and suspensions. After ridding himself of Lake, Taylor's first big fumble was to trade Harry Lord, his star third baseman, and Second Baseman McConnell, a first rate man, to Chicago for Frank Smith, a twirler on- the decline, and Bill Purtell, a mediocre Inflelder. This deal robbed the Boston Infield of 60 per cent of Its power, and made a respeqtable machine out of the Sox. Taylor's work Is rough. He hasn't the taot or diplomacy to address himself to a slumping player who needs encouragement, but runs a steam-roller over the unfortunate man. The Boston owner has asked for waivers on Heine Wagner, his star shortstop; Ray Collins, oneof,the best lefthanders In the American League. Clcotte, a good pitcher, and Engle, an all-around man. They are all good men, two being stars of high candlepower, but Taylor proposes to destroy their confidence, or let them go. Taylor is the owner of tljp Red 8ox, and it is his privilege to release every one on his pay 'roll and substitute a team of Chinese chop suey cooks, but It is a mighty bad thing for the American League. Surely Ban Johnson Is becomlnglired of this Mad Mullah rule In Boston, and will Insist on a change. . COBB HOPES TO GET v Bpedal to The Waaeingtoo EeraM. Detroit, June 25. Ty Cobb, the demon Tiger, ,has the greatest ambi tion ever possessed by a ball player) that of making 300 hits In one season. Cobb will have to Improve only slightly on his workfor the first third of the season to accomplish this unheard-of feat. In the fifty-seven games In which Cobb has played ho has made 103 hits, an average of slightly more than 1.8 to the game. At -this present clip he wilhgst 277 bits If he plays In all the Tiger's scheduled 164 games. CobbNhopes to do even better during the rest of the season. He may not reach tho 300 mark; but he bids fair to put his hits for the season far above any mark ever before attained, A BITS, OF BASEBALL, f For several weeks major league scouts have been watching Paddy Bauman, sec ond baseman of the New Bedford cham ploas.'and Ws elevation to the big league ranks was a foregone ceaclusloa.

DALY. X One of the fastest outfielders tn the Departmental League Is Bert Daly, of the Navy team, as the fans of the Clerks' circuit call Herbert A. Always In the game and a heavy hitter, Bert Is one of the most pop ular players In the circuit, and one of the fleetest on the paths. Bert started his baseball career In 1903 with the champion St. Paul team of the old Dlstrlot League, and played with the Churchmen the , year following. In 1904 Bert went to the Atlantlcs, and played with them three years. The Atlantlcs was one of the fastest teams In theDlstrlct at that time, and for asyoungster to make good In that company speaks well for his ability as a ball tosser. The year following, Bert Joined the St. Paul team again, tfien In the Marquette League, and put up a great game for the Churchmen In that and the succeeding year. During the season of 1909 Bert was a member of the War Depart- s xnent team, of the Departmental League, and experienced the worst Reason of his career. A batting aver age of .246 was the best that Bert could smack out that season. For the past two seasons Bert has been a member of the Navy Depart ment team of the Departmental League, and has been putting up a great game In the field as well as at the bat. Bert has hit well over the .800 mark, every season except that of 1909, when he took a slump. With only one mlsplay charged against him In thirty-nine games, Bert led the outflelders,of the Clerks circuit last year In the field. One of the best fellows In the world, Bert Is leading the Navy team, and the other members of the Sailors swear by their captain. There has been a persistent rumor going fhe rounds of the Departmental League fans that Bert would be seen In professional ball next year. a w. & "Pitchers are using the curve a good deal more this season when they have three balls and two strikes on tho batter. Under these conditions the batter knows the pitcher will try to get the next one over. Pitchers gen erally have better control of the fast ball, and last year could take a chance on having a hit. This year they prefer trying to fool the batter with a curve even at the risk of a base on balls. "In a game I umpired In Boston Ralph Works passed five, men rather than pitch the fast ball with three and two on batters. The catcher signaled for a fast ball each time, but Works shook his head. He took a chance with the curve and could not get it over." 300 . HITS AND SET A RECORD Dunn has decided to give the veteran In flelder another chance. Cy Is a valuable man to have on a team, providing he keeps In condition." A Westerner says: "Arllo Latham's playing days are -over, but he still adds zest to the New Torks games and Is a card on the coaching lines.'; A Jokerl Scouts In the major leagues say It is hard to pick up reputed star players at this time of the season In the minor leagues, for the simple reason that few of the so-called stars have shown big league caliber. Remember WUey Piatt, the old Boston pitcher? Well, he's sow an umpire In the Kitty League, a small organization com posed of Kentucky, Illinois, and Tennes- It is said that Freddie Parent, the fsrmeTvBoatoB Amerkaa outfielder, la the meat, popular plAyer oa the Oriole team.

BASEBALL TALENT IS WOEFULL? SHY Scout Billy Murray Sees Few Good Youugsters. Pittsburg. Pa., Juno 25. William Murray, tho former manager of the Philadelphia National League baseball club, who Is now a scout for 'the 'Pi rates, arrived here Friday morning after a trip extending, over a period of four weeks, during whlchshe looked over considerable minor league and col lege material in the hope Tf finding something worth while for the local team. "Billy" had a long talk with President Barney Dreyfuss, but would not admit that he had made any recom mendations. "I did not go crazy about any of the players I saw," ho said. "Jlost of my time has boen devoted to watching col lego teams perform, and I did not visit many places at that. Did I find any future greats? Well, if any existed In the places I visited they managed to escape my eyes. I have never known material to bo so scarce as this year, and I shall be a much surprised in dividual if about 99 per cent of the playerB that are being bought up by major league clubs do not turn out to be lemons. "This applies particularly to the col lege boys who aro being signed up. Many of those who havo been touted as wonders do not even know how to put on a uniform. I saw absolutely none that appealed to me, and I am beginning to think that college base ball players are not as good as they used to "be on the university circuit Of course, you can read nearly every day of wonderful young school and college pitchers who are twirling no hit games and striking out fifteen to twenty batsmen in nine innings; but you would cease to wonder at these performances If you could see the bats men against whom these games are pitched, s "They know very little about the art of batting, and It Is easy for a pitcher to fool them. An inferior major leagup pitcher could go Into these games and not allow a hit, so do not be surprised If a lot of the college wonders who have been signed up for big league clubs explode In a hurry. "There may be a few exceptions, of course. For Instance. Pittsburg has picked up a promising proposition In Cottrell, of Syracuse. I saw him work last year, and he Impressed me fav orably, as he gavo a fair exhibition In spite of the fact that he was behind In his studies and was handicapped by worry and hard work trying to catch up. He has a good build for a pitcher and possesses plenty of strength. "As for the minor league talent thl3 year, I have seen none of exceptionally hlg-h caliber. The big league teams have better men sitting on their benches than are to be found in the bushes." AMATEUR LEAGUES. GAMES TO-DAY. Bankers' League No game. Capital City League Marines vs. Pumpers.

The suspension of thoroughbred racing at the several metropolitan centers has been a spvere blow to that interest: and, while the sundry and several State laws prohibiting all attendant features of bet ting may, on the face of things, seem to have relegated the -"sport of kings" to the discard, a sane review of all the condi tions, which so prevailed as to demand the curtailment of certain predatory In terests, demands popular acclaim of the present prohibitive statutes which, though seemingly drastic, will In good time prove the salvation of legitimate racing. Thor oughbred racing will endure, and with the management of the sport once again in the .control of men to whom the thor oughbred horse Is the product of genera tions of Intensified heredity rather than a machine of chance, the classic events of tho running turf, around which are clus tered the halo "bf tradition and sentiment, will be renewed and the racing glories ot Ascot, of Derby, of Longcbamps, and of Melbourne will be rivaled. Though the thoroughbred Interests have been buffeted by adverse legislation and their promoters and their devotees havo been driven from pillar to post, the light harness horse the trotter and the pacer has pursued the even tenor Of Its course and has In no manner been affected by the ban Imposed upon the betting ring. This condition of affairs is due primarily and solely to tho fact that the managers of harness racing have ever considered the betting ring only as an Incident to their racing programme and have not -viewed it as a source of principal reve nue, and wherever the laiv has demanded (ho cessation of the betting Incident the management has .bowed gracefully to the decree and continued Its programme as conducted in previous years, depending Upon the ever-increasing patronage at tho gate. On account of tho glamour of the run nine track the sulkv briirade has never 'come into Its own at the racing centers where the thoroughbred was so greatly In evidence, but with the elimination of the bookmaker the trotter Is gradually receiving merited recognition not only where the thoroughbred once reigned su preme, but In every city, town, and ham let from coast to coast and from the Canadian wilds to the gulf. The fact that 1,159 professional harness meetings were held tn the United States and Canada during the racing season of 1910 conveys but a slight conception of the growth of the sport, and there are not included in this count the hundreds of matinee, pro grammes and events over the ice. Up ward of 15,000 trotters and pacers partici pated In these professional and amateur events, and from this estimate the tre mendous Investment Involved In the con duct of the sport can best be conceived.
