DEATH OF RAY CHAPMAN CAUSES
HEAVY SORROW IN BASEBALL WORLD
Carl Mays, Pitcher Who Hurled Fatal Ball, is Overcome
, With Grief Cleveland Fans Prepare to Do
Honor to Deceased Player.
New York. Aug. 18. New York baseball
lane paid final tribute laat night to Ray
Chapman, shortstop of the Cleveland Amer
ican team, whoee death resulted early yes
terday from the blow ba received upon tha
head from a pitched ball in the game be
tween Cleveland and New York Monday.
Chapman's body was placed aboard the
Lake Shore Limited, which left the , Grand
Central station at t30 o'clock last night,
bound for Cleveland.
The player's wife, who arrived from
Cleveland yesterday morning, accompanied
the body, aa drd Chapman's brother-in-law.
who haa been with the club on this trip;
Trla Speaker, manager of the team, and Joe
Wood, the outnelder.
Players of the Yankee team, as well as
the dead player's club associates, called to
view the body and pay a last tribute. Rev.
Father Connors, of Philadelphia, who per
formed the marriage ceremony of Chapman
and his wife, hurried over to New York yes
terday morning, and It was ha who broke
the newa of her husband's death to Mrs.
Chapman.
During the day. while the player" body
lay In an undertaker's rooms, hundreds of
baaeball fana called there to view It, and
laat night a large crowd gathered at the
Grand Central station. The assemblage
acted as an escort as tha coffin was placed
upon a truck car that carried It through
the station to the train. The fans formed
an aisle near the pates and stood with bared
heads as the car bearing the body of tha
dead ball player passed through.
May Is Heartbroken.
While tha death of Chapman has caused
sorrow among baseball magnates, players'
and fans, none aeemed aa deeply grieved
over t"he accident aa Carl Mays, the New
York pitcher, who delivered tha ball In
Monday's game that resulted In Chapman's
death. After the game Monday Maya went
to hi room and denied himself to all even
hi Intimate friend and teammate on the
New York club. He paced the floor of his
room during the night and wlien word came
to. him that Chapman had died the pitcher
broke down completely and said he desired
to give himself up to the district attorney
a soon aa possible.
On hia visit to tha district attorney'
office May waa accompanied by Charles
McManus, business manager of the Yankees;
Manager Tris Speaker and Secretary Walter
McNichols, of the Cleveland club. May
made hia statement to Assistant District
Attorney John J. Royce. The pitcher, eve
filled with tears and barely able to tell his
story, said:
. "It. was a straight fast ball and not a
curved one. When Chapman cama to bat
I got the signal for a straight fast ball,
which I delivered. It was a little too close
and I saw Chapman duck his head in an
effort to get oat of the path of the ball.
He was too late, however, and a second
later he fell to the ground. It w-as the
most regrettable Incident of my career and
I would give anything If I could undo what
happened.
After hearing Mays' story Mr. Joyce said
he thought Chapman's death waa purely
accidental.
Manager Tri Speaker, of tha Cleveland
club, talking with Colonel T. L. Huston,
one of the owner of the Yankees, said the
accident was unavoidable.
"I do not hold Mays responsible in any
way." he added. "I have been active In
discouraging my players from holding Msy
responsible and. In respect for Chapman's
memory as well aa for tha good of baseball.
I hope all talk of this kind will stop. I can
realize that Mays feels this thing a deeply
aa any man could, and I do not want to
add anything to hi, burden. I do not know
what prompted tha action of the Boston
and Detroit player. For my part I think
it la deplorable," '., - ,
Did Not Use "Beaut Ball."
There has not been the slightest Indica
tion In any games Mays ha pitched against
the Cleveland or any other club this year
that ha was nslng the., "bean, ball." a ball
dung at tha .head, to maka tha barker dodge
and drop and make him afraid to stand up
to hi work. Maya said yesterday he had
bit but one other batter this year Jamie
son, of Cleveland, whose clothing he ..dusted.
"I saw Chick Fewster bit in Jacksonville
arid I have been extra careful," he con
tinued. "Fewster Is my close friend and
after seeing him nearly killed I have been
so concerned and anxious not. 'to' hit anybody
in. the head that for half of the aeaaon I
really believe It made a bad pitcher of me.
My work In the early weeka Buffered for
this reason.
"I have not been very fortunate of late.
Last year a fire destroyed my house and all
I had, but, that aside, I am more sorry
than words can 'express that this 'has hap
pened. What effect will It have on my
work? That Is something I can't tell until
the time comes."
Players' "Strike" Deplored.
1
Level-headed baaeball men do not believe
the "strike" said to have. been contemplated
by Boston1 and Detroit' players' If Mays
pitches against them or their meeting look
ing to have him banished from baaeball
will amount to anything more than talk by
certain spirits prone to hasty agitation.
That the element of bitterness should ap
pear in the tragic affair was regarded a
particularly deplorable.
Colonel Ruppert had thia to say: "Many
player are hurt In baseball, and I don't
see how they can hold Mays responsible for
yesterday's accident. There is not tha
slightest ground for any such action as is
reported to be planned by the Detroit and
Boston players."
"Our attitude." added Colonel Huston, "is
that the occurrence was absolutely acci
dental, and about the reported petition of
the players in Boston we are not going to
do anything until we know such a petition
Is In existence."
Colonel Huston and Manager Speaker had
a talk yesterday. The New York' magnate
said he hoped there would be no Ill-feeling
between players of the 'two teams arising
from the death of Chapman.
"On the part of two or three of our
players there is some bitterness toward
Mays," Speaker answered, "but I am going
to do all I can to suppress it and any bit
ternees that might aria a. For the good oj
baseball, for the good of the player them,
selvea, and especially out of regard for tha
poor fellow that's dead, it Is our duty to
do that. , I aim going to do all I can to
see that there- I no bitterness."' r
"And you can depend on it that well do
all wa can." Colonel Huston replied.
"It was a fast ball Inside that hit Chap
man." Miller Huggins, manager of tha
Yankees -explained., "and, the , way I look at
It something' . malt have .happened to hia,
left foot. No batter get hit by a pltch
ball so long as the forward foot is free ant
he can shift it. He can get out of tha,'
way when that' the. 'ease. If for aomf
reason he loeee control- of 'that foot for
moment, then 1 when he get hit.
!
