Billy Sullivan to get the old hop back on the ball. That is what too much work did to Walsh. It would be a crime if Russell should go the same route. Hal Chase's value to the Sox is becoming more apparent every day. In the field, at the bat, on the bases, Hal is playing a bang-up game, the brand that made him famous when he first joined the Yanks and was a youngster trying to make good in the league. His triple yesterday drove in the only two runs the Sox scored and two stops of hard-hit balls around first base kept the Naps from scoring when Russell was beyond his depth. With two men on base in the sev enth inning Sam Crawford walloped one of Hoy Mitchell's shoots for a homer, giving the Tigers enough runs to beat St Louis. Dubuc was hit hard, but kept out of danger. Cobb got three hits. George Stovall dup licated. Four singles, a wild pitch and a sacrifice fly bunched enabled the Cards to trim Pittsburgh. St Louis only made five hits, but chased Hen drix and Camnitz by bunching them. Kommers, the new Pirate outfielder, was a whale again, clubbing a triple and two singles. The youngster has made at least two hits in every game since joining Pittsburgh. Frank Chance is still trying to plug holes. He has just bought Daniel Boone, crack shortstop of the Texas League, for fall delivery. This is the youngster's first year in professional ball, but he is the sensation of his league. President Navin of Detroit has made an offer to the Cleveland offi cials for Larry Lajoie, benched in favor of Terry Turner. Rumors to the effect that Lajoie was peeved at Manager Birmingham over being dis placed caused Navin to make the of fer. He has small chance of obtain ing the slugging Frenchman. Larry and Birmy will patch up any slight differences that may exist, and it is , I by no means certain that Lajoie's bench duty will be permanent His hitting is too valuable an asset to be dispensed with. The management of the Milwau kee American Association cluh has let it be known that an offer of $15, 000 has been received for Outfielder Chappelle, but the name of the team with the big bankroll has not been disclosed. It is known that the White Sox, Cleveland, Brooklyn and Giants are after the hard-hitting youngster. Manager Callahan of the Sox looked Chappelle over last week and was much impressed.
