WILD BILL IFFOI
BAD SEASON? IT
LOOKSUKELY,
Lott Control Yesterday at a Fatal
Moment and the Yanks Scored
a Winning Majority Im
mediately.
-
Crawford on First and Jones in
Center Is Latest Order of the Tiges
and Both Star.
By MILTON R. PALMER.
It leaks us U Wild Hill Uonuvuu
was in for aiiothei bad season similar
to the one that he had in 19UG It is
to be hoped that this peslniiaiic sur
mise may prove grouudless. But cer
taluly, the Smller s arm has obstinate
ly refused to get into suape up to
this time
That erratic faculty of losing the di
rection of the plate, which early earn
ed him the sobriquet of "Wild Bill,
was greatly in evidence Tuesday aft
ernoon. There was not quite the oM
Jump on the tast ball, and when Bill
tried to put them over at top speed,
he could not convince l mpire
that they were over the plate. The
*low ones were easy for the Yankees.
In the twirling of Warhop, whom
Detroit let slip last year, there wao
not a flaw. He had perfect control,
kept the Tiger hits scattered and was
entitled to a shut-out, had perfect sup
port been accorded him. A fast un
derhand delivery was hla principal
stock in trade aud the locals kept hit
ting it up in the air so that the field
ers had plenty of time to get under
neath
Tiges Not at Their Best.
One-sided as was the game, It might
have been worse. Also, it would Lave
beeu better if the fielding aud pitch
ing of the Tigers had been off separ
ately instead of simultatteottsiy in the
seventh inning. An error made tho
scoring in that inning possible. Douo
van's wildness and another pair of
raisplays following made the loss of
the game almost inevitable right there.
It was the seventh inning that count
ed for the contest. Up to that time
both sides had been hitting in a scat
tering way. New York had one man
on base in each of the first three in
nings and two in the fourth but with
out results. The Tigers ulso got a hit
in each of the first three sessions.
Their only chance to make a start in
the early stages of the game was cut
short when, after Schaefer had stolen
second cleanly In the third, he was
called out.
Each side got a run in the fifth.
With one down, Kleinow doubled, but
was caught on the line when War
hop grounded to Bush. That left the
little pitcher on second, where he had
gone while Kleinow was being tagged,
and two men out. De in mitt came up
and poled out a triple that scored
Warhop. We evened when Cobb
doubled, Jones beat out a tap and
Kleinow's low throw to first got away
from Chase.
The Fatal Seventh.
That brought It up to the seventh.
Laporte sent a stinger down to Bush
which the little shortstop threw- wild.
Kleinow sacrificed and Warhop foul
ed out. That left Laporte on second,
two men out and the exasperating
Mr. Demmltt at bat. Donovan pre
ferred to pass him to first. But he
got the pas« habit and sent Austin
the same way, tilling the sacks. Egan
called four wide oues on Chase and
a run was forced in. Then Elberfeld
grounded to Schaefer. The latter's
fling to Crawford was wide and low
and Demmltt scored. Crawford tried
to get Chase off second, hut he pegged
wildly also aud Austin hurried In.
Aftar that there was uot much to
It. Donovan’s control was still loose
in th» eighth and he started the in
ning by passing three men in succes
sion. A shower of runs seemed im
minent, but the fourth hatter fouled
out, force play at the plate was made
on the next and the sixth man sent
a fly to right.
Chase’s very questionable hit start
ed the ninth for New York. Keeler
tame along with another hit and tl-o
only stolen base of the game. A wild
throw by Schmidt and sin
gle scored these two.

RED SOX SEND PITCHER
STEELE BACK TO A. A.
Lake Sistine His Staff in Hope of Get
ting Down to a List of De
pendable Regulars.
CLEVELAND. July iO.—Notwlt h- :
standing the sensational rurno sos
trades ami releases in the Boston
team, the Red Sox as at present com
posed will finish the sec on and no j
changes whatever will bo mane except
ing in the personnel of the pitching
staff.
The pitching staff, of course has got
to be reduced, and five «>f th * twtriers
now with the team will be disposed
of or farmed out shortly after the Ken j
Sox get back in Boston, lake is r.ow
trying to select four or five of .ne most J
reliable of his pitchers to take regu
lar turns in the l>ox.
Elmer Steele, who had hcer regard
ed as one of the most promising rs the
Red Sox pitchers, ha» been notified
by Manager Lake tb.it no has been
sold to St. Paul, and left for Boston
to get his belongings togeihe- so »hat
he could Join that ’earn Immediately.
Steele has been given plentv of show
this seasou, but his work has proven
h distinct disappointment to .Manager
Lake.
It would seem as though Arellanos,
Clcotte, Wood. Burchell. Welter and
Sehlllzer will be Lake’s nk'matc de
pendence in the box, although Lay
Collins, the University of Vermont led.
will be given an immoJia o opnrtit
nity to show what he has him. As
Ray is a southpaw he vM be sent in
undoubtedly to pitch one of the games
against the Tigers. Ch.-t Nottr&e may,
be farmed out for devc'opmfnr or
kept through the season with: ut do
ing mu°h active work.
. Lake's disinclination to tin le
veloped pitchers at this tirio is due
to the fact that the Red Re* believe
they have a Rood prospect for the pen
nant.
YALE PROF. HAS REPORT
ON RESULT OF ATHLETICS
His Investigations Especially Directed
Toward Finding Out If They
Hurt the Heart.
NEW HAVEN, Conn., July 20.—The
effect of athletics upon the heart will
be disclosed when Prof. Wiiiiam G.
Anderson, director of the Yale gym
nasium. makes his report upon whit ii
he hat been working for years. When
\ale oarsmen collapsed in their shells
at tho end of their race a few years
ago the faculty ruled that no more
men should enter the crew who had
weak htarts and directed Prof Ander
son to Investigate the effects of ath
letics upon the heart. More than GOO
athletes have been examined by Prof.
Andeison during his research and his
discoveries are said to be far-reach
ing.
The effect of oxygen on the heart
during exertion or high mountuiu
climbing has alao been Investigated, |
an expedition having been sent to
Mexico for that purpose. The report
j will be mado public in October.

When the Old Orioles
Really Boosted an Ump j;
Detroit has seen all the league umpires at work this season and <[
OT.oughlin, Sheridan, Hurst, Evans and the rest all have their admit*- S
eis. There ure some who will stand up for Egan. Once in a whl'j i,
a good word can be heard for Kerin. The jury might have to be polled S
on Petrine, bul it is pretty certain thut. everything considered, .he ?
local contingent is pretty strongly of the opinion that, for a com- j>
bination of good judgment and tact Tommy Connolly is the most ?
satisfactory of them all. ]>
Tommy Is giving his usual demonstration at Bennett park of the <|
claim of his friends that he gets along with less trouble than **.«> j,
of his compatriots, and yet keeps the teams working fast and ts Jj
well satisfied us could be expected. ]>
• I like to work in Detroit.' says Tommy, "because —well for a J
lot of reasons but mainly, 1 think, on account of the genuine pleasure ]
there is in judging balls and “trike? behind two such reasonable uua ,
I as Schmidt and Stanuge. Both of 'em have the common sense to ;
krow that an umpire is called on to Judge some mighty close ones
now and then, and they make allowances. They know that, when ono
close one goes against them, the next will probably be In their favor.
They don't go ranting uround and inciting the crowd, and the whole*
Detroit team is on that style.
"I never object when a man comes and makes to me a decent,
gentlemanly objection and tries to point out where I was wrong.
When a man is sent out of the game by me you can always wager (
he said something profane or abusive.” J
Tommy recounts with some pride the fact that he once receive! ,
a formal boost from the old Baltimore Orioles who bore the reputa- |
tion of being the worst umpire-baiters in the world when umpire- |
hailing was in style. j
"I broke Into the game at Baltimore." said he the other day. ,
"aud I worked with Lynch, then the star of the National league. 1 <
didn't ha\e a kick In several series, during which 1 was judging the \
bases, and. when the Orioles took the road, Hanlon wrote President i
Young, advising him to give me an assignment where I could run |
the game all alone —an unusual honor for anew umpire, you may be
sure.

Quaint Process This Scratching Bus
iness and Here's How It Originated
Long; Ago.
By PAUL H. BRUSKE.
Away back In the days of the cave- 1
j man wfi«n horse racing was in its in
fancy xnd the mile record was held
by a four-toed Bucephalus that had
skated the distance in 7:42, last quar-j
ter 1:40 fiat, one of the trainers of
his era stepped up to the Judges' stand
Just as the vendors had finished sell
ing the pools on the 10-minute trot,
grasped the bronze-headed hatchet
that lay at the base of the stone slab
on which the list of entries for the
event hud been sculped for the bene
fit of the sporting populace and. with
a aeries of brisk, criss-cross motions.
| obliterated the name of Dinosaur
Wilkes. Jr.
"Aha. Adolphus,” remarked the pre
siding Judge, peering down at the
busv teamster, "you're scratching.
i eh*"
Ever since that time this process
has become popular among the suc
ceeding generations of teamsters. Par
ticularly at early meetings of the year
is in its regular vogue.
It was so at Windsor yesterday, and
is likely to be so, to a greater or less
extent, for the rest of the meeting.
What Starts the Scratching.
Horses are raced at the meetings l
preceding the opening of the grand
circuit, for two purposes—education
and th** money With the no-record
candidates for the big stakes, the
races at Windsor are more important
from the former point of view that! the
latter, for the entire purse money to
be divided up among the winners is
but SI,OOO to each race.
On the other hand, the money part
of the situation is not to be lost sight
of. it is the supreme idea of the big
trainers to pick out for their equine |
charges at such places the easiest race j
they can see to which each irotter or
pacer is eligible and then go just as
fast as is necessary to win it. but no
faster. For the accomplishment of'
this end the real things art usually!

then, ufter looking the situation over
at the lust minute, the soft spots are
selected and the scratching begins.
Trotters Furnished ths Fun.
But one event yesterday retained
anything like its pristine interest af
ter the itching for easier picking had
been allayed. Star Pntchen scared all
but four out of the 2:21 pace—the
"Little C. of C.’*—and the blind Hal
Raven's presence In the 2:07 pace
performed the same office In that
event. The 2:11 trotters were more
courageous and the race of the day
resulted between Country Jay aud
Teasel, the latter winning after a live
ly little scrap with the veteran crip
ple and both stepping into the 2:10
class. This was no great surprise, so
far as Teasel was concerned. Ihe
feat of the aged Country Jay that has
been on the shelf for four seasons
now and was supposedly all in. how
ever, remarkable. Still lame in
front and behind but able to pound
along at n pretty lively clip, notwith
standing. he drew the pole for the
first heat, went a short mile, took the
lead when Pemarest gave up and start
ed to bark at the three quarters, and
staved off Teasel's finishing rush. He
gave Teasel quite a battle in the sec
ond and fourth heats, too, but Geers
was not to be denied.
Star Patchen and Darkey Hal slm

odds-on choices over their fields The
latter Is sure to get into the money

BAT NELSON SAYS PAPKE
HAS HEART OF A RABBIN
That la the On* Reason Why HJ
Didn't Trim the Gama Flynn j
In Their Last Bout. |
CHICAGO, July 21.—Battling Nel-|
son left Chicago today for New York ]
where he will appear In a boxing exhl-’l
hlilon for the benefit of New York
newsboys. The lightweight champlou
hud nothing but commendation for
Ad. Wolgast, who he receutly met In
Loa Angeles. 1
Nelson thinks Papke a great fighter
but says he has a “rabbit heart."
"1 saw Papke and Flynn fight but
he has no more heart than a rabbit,"
said Nelson. MCvery time he hit
Flynn, the blow was hard enough ap- <
pareutly to stop him, but Billy couldn't
press his advantage because he did
not seem to like the way Flynn would
come back When Flynn landed a
punch. Papke would back up. If he
had Flynn's heart he would oe a world
beater."
Bat. says he does not expect to box
until late In the fall.

WAIVERS oFcHESBRO T
Such Is the Report the New York Con
respondents Havs Sant Out.
“Jack • Cheabro has gone the w»|
of the great stars of former days. The
man who made the "spit hall" famous
Is not good enough now for even the
New York Americans.
A report has been sent out by one
of New York’s scribes here with the
i team that Manager Stallings has ask
ed waivers on Chesbro.
Not that Stallings is larking in ap
preciation of the great work Chesbro
has done In former days; It Is simply
that Cheshro's days of usefulness are
, over. It Is hardly likely that Chesbro
' will have to go buck to the minors,
for he Is rich as ball players go.
Stnlllturs nether affirmed nor de
nied the report. |
