Peckinpaugh May Stay on Bench Another Week : Braves Proving Bane of Giants
CHAMPS WELL FORTIFIED
I NOW IN RESERVE TALENT
Manager Harris Decides Griffs Can Spare Services of
Mule Shirley, ho Is Farmed Out to Jersey
City of International League.
>
BY JOHN B. KELLER.
NEW YORK, July 25.—Roger Peckinpaugh. National shortstop, who
has not played since the first inning of the game at St. Louis two
« weeks ago today, may not return to action until after the cham
pions are through with the series with the White Sox to be played in
Wash ingtori next week.
Although the swelling has left the thumb he hurt when attempting
to held a ground ball driven by Bobby Lamotte, the digit still pains Roger
considerably, and he does not believe he will be able to take care of his
position capably until it is healed thoroughly.
But Peck insists that he would have been in the line-up had the club
rot possessed such a clever understudy to its regular short fielder as Ever
\ ett Scott.
' "I was willing to withstand the pain that would have resulted from
fielding a ball with this sore thumb,” he declared today, “but with Scotty
around. Manager Harris decided I had better keep out of the game until
I was OK.”
The deal that brought Scott to the
v Nationals from the Yankees certain
ly has benefitted the champs. When
Peek was out of the game early in the
season, the strength of the infield was
seriously impaired. Neither Mike Mc-
Nally nor Spencer Adams could take
good care of third base when Ossie
TUuege was shifted to shortstop, nor
could Adams make much of a show
ing as a shorttielder, but Scott, since
he accustomed himself to his new
surroundings, has done remarkably
well.
Deacon Improves Steadily.
The Deacon's fielding ability long
bad been recognized, hut it was
thought he had lost his speed to such
• an extent that he would not be able
to cover any great amount of terri
tory around the short field. However,
he has improved steadily since break
ing into the regular line-up and has
• been surprisingly active. Hacking in
poise at the start, he now fits in
admirably with the other parts of the
infield so that that section of the Na
tionals' defense again is functioning
splendidly. Scott has had his eye on
the ball, too, hitting often and oppor
tunely.
The chib seems very well fortified
now with infield reserve material.
Adams, while weak on the far side of
the middle station, can take care of
the second basing job adequately.
Moon Harris is a corking good right
hand flrst-saeker, always ready to step
around that bag when Joe Judge, its
x regular guardian, is incapacitated.
Bluege, at third base, is the only mem
ber of the inner quartet who has no
understudy, but in a pinch Nemo Lei
bold might be able to work around the
far corner.
Mule Shirley Is Farmed Out.
With such good substitute talent at
hand. Manager Harris decided that
the Nationals could dispense with the
services of Mule Shirley, first-saoker,
who came to the club last year from
the University of North Carolina. Mule
had no chance to break into the game
while with the Champs, but with Jer
' sey City, to which club he was farmed
yesterday, he will work regularly.
Shirley promises to become a first
class performer and was sent to the
International League outfit under 24-
hour option.
The series with ,the Yankees was to
be resumed this afternoon. In all
likelihood. Walter Ruether will do the
hurling for the Nationals, but Man
, ager Harris may shift to Walter John
son before game time. With the Ath
letics winning consistently. the
Champs' boss intends to avail himself
of all the club’s strength in the re
maining two contests with the New
Yorkers here.

BILL MEHLHORN TELLS:
My Unique Run of Birdies and Eagles at Miami
IHAD rather a unique experience one day on the course of the Miami,
Fla., Country Club last February. There are four par 5 holes there.
The first is No. 1, measuring 455 yards. I drove against the wind,
placed my brassie second on the green and sank a 15-foot putt for an
eagle 3.
The second is No. .7, 460 yards.
Playing against a crosswise head

THE CALL OF THE OUTDOORS
BY WILL H 9ILG,
President Izaak. Walton League of America.
I WAS looking through a magazine recently, and I came across an ad
vertisement of an ammunition company which earnestly urges all
sportsmen to tote a gun this Summer. The advertisement said, in part:
“Crows and hawks, woodchucks, frogs, snakes—and targets, of course.
There is plenty of shooting wherever you go, and the season’s as long as
you make it. Camping, tramping, motoring, canoeing, the vacation fun of
just ‘being there’ can be doubled by taking a gun along.”
Os course, no true sportsman will
heed the advice given. For the true
sportsman is one who takes his sport
at the proper time and shoots the
proper gfime. He is not interested in
killing just for the sake of killing
something or of keeping “in trim.”
Crows in some parts of the country
do little or no harm —though in others
they are harmful. Some species of
crows do no harm at all. Os some 20
varieties of hawks that are commonly
found in this country, only two or
three are known to be harmful —and
the extent of their harm is very, very
doubtful. Can you tell one kind from
another when it soars overhead? I
know I can't.
Woodchucks are among the most in
teresting animals of the woods. A
great many people get a big “kick”
out of watching the friendly wood
chuck. I don’t know what harm he
is charged with doing, but I do know
that it is not enough to overbalance
his other qualities and place a death
sentence on him —by any but powder
makers.
It is not a good thing, as it appears
to me, to encourage people to carry
guns and shoot every living thing
along the roadside. We are doing
enough to exterminate our wild life
even when we confine ourselves to
game birds and animals. And the
people who tote a gun in the car in
most cases, while they may try to do
good by killing pests, simply, through
ignorance, kill many beautiful, useful
and interesting things.

DEMPSEY TO PRIME

By the Associated Press.
HOLLYWOOD, Calif., July 25.
Back from his European honeymoon

Harry Wills fight in 1926, Jack Demp

training grind that will fit him for a
return to the prize ring in which he
won the world’s heavywc‘«rht boxing

By his own admission “througi with

false whiskers and grease paint of
moviedom for the leather mittens of
pugilism, Dempsey arrived here last
night after eluding cameramen and
others who had hoped to meet him
at the train.
Accompanying him was his bride, Es
telle Taylor, motion picture actress,
in whom some prophets of the prize
ring profess to see the successor of
Jack Kearns, once active manager of
the champion.
Dempsey announced on his arrival
that he would have a talk with Kearns
soon, “maybe next Monday,” but gave
no indication that there would be any
modification of his previous announce
ment that henceforth he intends to
be his own manager.
He said he planne to begin training

FINALS ARE REACHED
IN ILLINOIS TENNIS
By the AsgO'-mted Press
GLENCOE. 111., July 25.—Robert
and Howard Kinsey of San Francisco,
playing in the semi-finals of the dou
bles of the Illinois tennis tournament
yesterday, were forced to default to
■ T. Tilden, 2d. and A. L. “Sandy”
Wiener of Philadelphia after having
a commanding lead of two sets to one
and 3 —2, 30—-0 lead in the fourth set.
At this point Robert Kinsey had a
cramp in his leg and could not con
tinue.
The victory for Tilden and Wiener
put them in the final, where they
meet W. M. Johnston and Clarence
Griffin of San Francisco, former na
tional doubles titleholders.
Johnston and Griffin, after dropping
the first set and trailing in the second,
showed a flash of their old form to
defeat Wray Brown and Brian I. C.
Norton. 4—6. 6—4, 6—l. 6—l.
The Kinseys up to their default were
playing faultless tennis. The match
was one of the best exhibitions ever
seen here. The smashing, yet crafty
playing of Tilden, the uncanny an
ticipation of the Kinseys, coupled with
their air tight defensive tactics, kept
the big gallery on edge.
When Kinsey’s injury stopped the
play Tilden offered to default, stating
that he and his partner were practi
cally beaten, but the officials ruled
otherwise.
Charlotte Hosmer of San Francisco
won her way to the final of the wom
en’s singles, where she will meet Helen
Jacobs of Berkeley for the title. Miss
Hosmer defeated Marian Leighton.
Chicago City and Western champion,
in straight sets, but only after a tough

The Water
Nymph Cluh
By Merxe Marvin Seeberger.
(flopynsht. 1925.)
No. 19—The Hide (live.
The side dive is a great favorite
with many girls. To do this, stand on
the end of the springboard, your right
side toward the water, right arm
straight above your head, elbow stiff.
The left arm may be bent so that the
hand rests on the hip.
Rise on your toes and spring into
the water, making the usual curve
X
with your body and keeping your
knees and arms stiff. Retain your posi
tion until you come to the surface.
The difficult thing about this dive is to
avoid Hopping onto your face and go
ing in crooked. Do not turn your
head, hut he very careful to keep your
side position throughout the dive.
One mistake that many j>eople make
when diving is to close their eyes as
they start the dive. You may close
them just as you enter the water, but
you cannot possibly gauge your dive
correctly unless you keep your eyes
open as you approach the water.
Tomorrow—The Back Dive.

VETERAN HITTERS LEAD.
CHICAGO, July 25 UP).— With the
1925 pennant race easing past the
half-way mark, veterans of the
leagues, Cobb, Speaker and Hornsby
and the others in the habit of smack

danger of losing their laurels. Vet

hitting .404, Cobb .402 and Horns
by .410.

TILDEN MAY IGNORE
TENNIS ASSOCIATION
GLENCOE, 111., July 25.—William
T. Tilden, 2d, of Philadelphia, national
tennis champion and the pontcr of the
recent controversy over the question
of a tennis champion writing for the
press, stated that he has “violated no
rule of the United States Lawn Tennis
Association and that he would do as
he pleased.”
The statement was elicited from the
lanky net star after he was informed
that the amateur rules committee at
its meeting in New York in two weeks
would call him to question him con
cerning the interviews he gives now
in place of writing his newspaper
stories himself.
Tilden went so far as to say that
he might not even attend the meeting
if called.
"If I happen to be in New York at
the time, I may go to the meeting,”
he says, “then again I may not. I
shall do as I please. I most certainly
shall not leave any tournament in
which I may happen to be playing to
answer such a summons. Why should
I? I have not violated the amateur
rule.”

AGAIN JOLT McGRAWMEN
AS PIRATES ARE WINNING
Athletics Also Take Advantage of Washington’s Idle
ness to Better Lead—Major Races Now Appear
to Be Two-Team Affairs.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 25.—John McCraw’s ambition for his fifth straight
National League pennant is being spoiled by the Boston Brave,,
cellar champions in John Hcydler’s circuit.
Against the three leading teams, Pittsburgh, New York and Brooklyn,
the Braves have played better than .500 base ball in the last series with
these clubs.
The Braves yesterday tossed a wrench into the Giant works by slap
ping a 3-1 defeat tag on the metropolitans, while Pittsburgh improved its
rating by lashing the Cardinals to the mast, 5 to 3.
Today the teams stand:
W L Pet.
Pittsburgh 52 34 .60465
New York 53 37 .58888
Washington, slowed up by the
Yankees Thursday, rested yesterday,
and the Athletics took advantage of
this lapse in the program to cement
more firmly their position at the
peak of the American heap by white
washing the Boston Red Sox,’ 6 to 0.
Today the American League leaders
stand:
W I. Pet.
Philadelphia 58 31 .65168
Washington 57 32 .64044
While the other clubs have a slim
mathematical chance of overhauling
the leaders in each league, the race
has virtually narrowed down to a
two-team race in each instance.
The Dodgers, third in the National
wheel, are more than 100 percentage
points behind the leaders, while the
While Sox. third in the American
League, are more than 125 points
astern the leader.
Rabbit Maranville, playing his first
game as manager before home fans,
saw his Chicago Cubs trail a flying
Red comet 3 to 1. Brooklyn and Phila
delphia, additional National League
entries, were idle.
Ty Cobb’s Detroit typhoon con
tinued its spurt for a first division
rating by trouncing the White Sox. ;
6 to 4. This gives the Bengals a tie
with the Browns for fourth place.
