BATTLE FROM THE j

KID ADDS RECEIVER TO CLUB
AND WILL NOW REST CONTENT

Received $1000 For Moore—Lookouts Treat
• Gillespie Finely
Chattanooga, June 17.—(Special.)—With
one more change Kid Elberfeld will
probably stand pat on his lineup for the
remainder of the present season. The
one change will consist of the acquisition
of a receiver from the Detroit Tigers to
replace Breaux. The collegiate midget
shows a world of promise but the local
pilot has already made up his mind that
he will never do as a class A receiver.
It is planned to farm the youngster out
to the BrunBwich club of the Empire
league to develop him into an inttelder or
an outfielder. He has an excellent armi
and can belt them a mile.
Elberfeld has placed the stamp of ap
proval on Howell, Breaux’ battery mate,
and Grimes, the two latest additions to
the local hurling staTT. This leaves it
a positive fact that the staff of sharp
shooters which will represent Chatta
nooga through the gruelling portion of
the schedule will be composed of Som
mers, Kroh and Coveleskic, lefthanders,
and Grimes and HoweJl righthanders.
The great showing of Forrest More with
the Volunters has not caused any great
surprise locally as It was always con
ceded here that the veteran had the
stuff. In fact, Eberfeld did not propose
the deal that sent More to Nashville.
The Kid was approached by Schw'artz,
wty> made him a flat cash offer of $1000
that w'as-too good to be refused; especial
ly when More’s age was considered and
the possibility of securing Grimes.
> President Andrews of the local club has i
given Jimmy Gillespie one of the squar
est deals that was ever tendered an in
jured athlete in this league. The chief
executive of the local club has announced j
that he will pay Gillespie his full salary j
until the close of the present season and
make him a free agent immediately. This
is considerable contrast to the treatment
secured by Scotty Walker and other un
fortunates.
From the Angle of the Bug
By REUBEN A. LEWIS
CRAFTILY outguessing the
spurting Lookouts, the chubby
Baron pilot added a victory to
the slifcht string. Molesworth outwitted
the keen Ktd Elbcrfeld on a trick
w'hich, while pulled at previous times,
showed thut the Karon Boss Is fight
ing for every struggle. So pleasing
is a display of lieadwork in these
mournful days that we are forced to
chuckle aloud. \
By pretending that McGilvray was
the next batter, when McBride was se
curely hidden from view, Molesworth
forced the Lookouts to pass Knisely
and saved the glorious victory. As
known, McGilvray and every other
.southpaw swinger, Is weak before the
shoots of a portwheeler. So when the
bluff wus operated successfully, a dan
gerous pinch hitter was presented at
the bat and a victory was produced.
• * *
Following the clever performance,
the Barons packed their duds and pre
pared for a foreign assault of 15
games. Journeying to Atlanta, the
Barons will appear this afternoon,
when the attendance trophy is pre
sented and play aguin Friday and Sat
urday. Jumping to Mobile for a Sab
bath contest, the Birmingham club
opens a three game series in the Gull
City. So successful has Birmingham
been against the Gulls, that a slump
ill flic lead should be suffered by the
league leaders. Brough will open the
siege Sunday.
The Billlkens will stuge a series be
ginning June 25. and continuing for
three days, and from there the Bar
ons move over to Memphis to fight the
near cellar champs. New Orleans Is
played on July I and 2, concluding the
foreign engagements. The Mobile
(lulls play the Borons at Rickwuod on
July 4.

Although baseball Is hailed as the
national pastime, the receipts* of the
two polo contests exceeded the great
est sum ever taken In at two world
series battles. In the games, the polo
promoters realized nearly J200.00C.
Tim exact ligures show that *911,000 was
received from the frenzied spectators
on Tuesday, while *106,000 was added
to overflow the bursting coffers on Sat
urday.
About 60,(00 witnessed the play of
the ponies at prices ranging from *25,
for some of the boxes, to 50 cents, for
positions in the field. Although tho
expense of the international sportive
event was *25,000, a profit of *176,000 ac
crued to the polo promoters.

J. Faversham Tinker adopted a rath
er unique method of selecting a
twller for service on the mound.
Finding that the Cincinnati hall park
was the domicile of a colony of rats,
Joseph espied one of the llttlo rodents
and yelled, "Oet him." "Rube" Bon
' ton, the former Lookout pitcher,
wound up and delivered at the un
fwclcome tenant. The ball ended the
career of Mr. Rat. "Your control is
tine tod^," was the manager's com
ment. "and you will work this aft
ernoon."
The speedy southpaw won the fray
.with a easy margin and convinced
J. Faversham that his system was a
corker. When tho Red twlrlers gath
•r around the pilot the question is.
"Well, who con hit a rat. today? And
the curveologist able to bowl over
one of the quadrupeds is given the
hillock assignment.

Pounding his massive fist on Catch
er Sweeney's dome, Frank Chance
annpunced that he was1 boss of tho
ranch and would defend Ids title.
The Big Husk assigned Big Ed
Sweeney a certain task In a recent
gams and when the Yankgee back
stop did not carry out the orders.
Chance bounced his mitt upon his
head to give added emphasis.
President Ban Johnson has prom
ised the leader of the Klltios his aid
and hopes to secure one of Connie
Mack's superfluous gardeners to bols
• ter up the New Yorks. Mack lias
seven outfielders and "Pooh-Bah” *Ban
lias announced that he will secure
one to Inject pepper into the race.
Daley and E. Murphy are sought.

While Pug Cavet sneaked in a win
for the Gulls yesterday, the high fly
ing birds are due for a slump. With
Big Jacobson out of the game as the
result, of an application of the knife
and c'apt. Charlie Starr hors de com
bat with an injured pedal, Mique Finn
is presenting a weak front to foreign
assaults.
Jacobson was operated upon nearly
two weeks ago and is recovering slow
ly. Starr was injured Sunday at New
Orleans when he slid into home.

Resorting to a crafty caprice of the
trade, tile chubby Baron pilot outwitted
the opposing Elberfeld and steered his
crippled cohort to a 2-1 victory in the
tenth session of yesterday's gruelling
contest. With a single out to produce
the winning tally, Marcan cracked a
bingle to center and effected a startling
purloin of second. Messenger clouted a
sizzling grounder to the slab, which Kroh
slightly deflected and allowed Peppery
Robert to reach first. While the towering
rcuthpaw took a leisure windup, Mes
senger annexed second.
Suddenly there appeared at ttie pile of
jumbled sticks, Large William McGil
vray, who glanced at the deranged hat
tie cudgels and looked for his favorite
bludgeon. With Kniseley, a dangerous
right-handed hitter at the platter, the
Lookouts held a hasty consultation and
decided to walk Kniseley to risk fate at
the hands of McGilvray, whom they saw
choosing a witloyv for ids seeming fol
lowing turn at the platter. So Kniseley
was passed, congesting the cushions, and
the Lookouts smiled confidently as they
looked for McGilvray to enter the box.
The crafty work was evidence when
McBride darted from the dugout, stick in
hand, for a swing at the Lookout south
paw. So perturbed were the adversaries,
that Kroh served the sunfieider an easy
flotcd and moaned when the echo of the
blow sounded. Kniseley spirited from
first with a neat lead, and when the
pellet went hurtling to Flick he dove into
second" and was declared a winner, on
a close decision. While Peter gained the
decision at second. Marcan counted with
the tally which divorced the deadlock.
Kroh Twirls Sensationally
Engaging in a sensational slabbing con
test. Southpaw Kroh deserved to score
a shutout over the Barons, Elberfeld bob
bled in the ninth, and the count was
evened. Slow fielding lost the game for
him in the tenth. Bill Prough scored his
fourth consecutive victory and hurled a
remarkable game. Although lie was out
heaved by the Lookout southpaw, Wee
Willie pitched a splendid battle, letting
the opponents down with seven sparse
singles. When the cushions had an oc
cupant, Large Clinton Prough stood as
formidably as a stone wall.
Scintillating support was lavishly upon
each of the heavers. While the Tobasco
Kid erred on an important play, the
peppery shortfielder made several spark
ling catches of Texas leaguers. Bob Mes
senger captured several difficult drives,
and cut Coyle oft at the plate witli an
unerring peg to the plate by several feet
In the sixth Inning.
Breaks Go To Lookouts
The 'Noogans were favored by fortune
during the earlier innings for every break
went against the Barons. But In the
ninth, the "break'' proved fickle and
went to the Barons. Messenger opened
the inning but securing a bad assort
ment of twisters and ambled to first.
Kniseley "crossed” the Lookouts with a
neat sacrifice. With McBride at the
rubber, Kroh took Street's counsel and
passed him to .first. McGilvray respond
ed with a slow roller to Flick and Mc
Bride waB forced at second. Mayer taliped
a hard chance baok of second, but Frick
captured the slap with Joyful eclat. With
the end the battle threatened, the fans
rushed for the oars but Flick tossed wlda
to Elberfeld and the Kid muffed the re
turn. Messenger trotted across the plate
with the tieing run.
The Lookouts were disposed of in the
following session by the big Baron twirl
er, while Kroh experienced little diffi
culty In the following division. Bllam
cracked a simmering line drive right Into
Elston's bands, while Prough popped up
to Graff. Marcan outspeeded a return
of his roller to second and started the
rally. Ths rest has been recorded of
the Barons' win.
Four Double Playg
The struggle was featured by fast field
ing and light hitting. In the flret two
Innings, three double plays were regis
tered while Messenger Increased the totals
to four in the sixth. Ellani effected a
pretty catch of Flick’B liner In the fifth,
while Messenger' shoe-stringed capture
of Elbcrfeld's liner in the third saved
at,other run. Elberfeld scored two pretty
catches In the sixth and seventh on pros

RAY BOYD ROUNDS TO FORM "1
AND IS RESIGNED FOR STAFF
HAY BOYD, THE SPITBALL HEAVER
Rou tided to form, Pitcher Ray Boyd was
signed yesterday morning by Manager
Molesworth and Pitcher Sloan was placed
upon the ineligible list, while negotiations
were on for his disposal. So confident is
Manager Molesworth of Boyd’s chance to
succeed on the mound, that the chubby
pilot took Boyd with the Barons to Atlarv
ta for the aeries.
While the spitball heaver's wing has not
yet completely regained Its cunning, Boyd
announced that he was fit for a short
service upon the firing line. Should the
occasion demand a substitute pitcher,
Boyd will go in the box for the lowly
Barons. Unless this fate befalls the
other heavers, Molesworth will reserve
the former star for a game next week.
Watching Boyd operate In practice, one
ia convinced that it will be but a short
time before the spit hall twirler will gain
the front with the other winning pitchers.
Last season Boyd had as much smoke
els any twirler in the circuit and, when
his spitter was yielding to his command,
the Baron slabman was invincible.
The only handicap the twirler now suf
fers is the tightness of a leader in his
hurling wing. But slowly the unyielding
sinew is responding and before July 1 the
“flaccid wing” should round to mid season
form.
Pitcher Sloan will probably be turned
over to Nashville. Bill Schwartz an-j
nounced that he would like to secure the [
twirier in case Moleswortli was disposed!
to release him and in all probability Sloan
will go to the Volunteers. Aithough he
has pitched excellently at times during
the present season, the youngster has
been an “in and outer" and the Baron
manager deckled to release him.
If Boyd allows the form expected, the i
chubby leader will rest content. for
Thompson has shown a of “stuff” and
is a. good hitter. Tf the collegian would
listen to the counsel of the more srasorvvj
and experienced pitchers. •»- gather
in much of the necessary rudiments of the
game. Manager Moleswortli believes that
Thompson will prove a winning pitcher be
fore the close of the season.
Boyd had several offers to join other
fast clubs, but the splendid treatment iie
| has received at the hands of the club of
j licials made him determined to stay with
the Barons to the end. Mique Finn was
anxious to land Body for the Gulls.

Be Played Saturday
Cambridge, Moss.. June 18.—The base
ball nines of Harvard and Yale battled for
14 innings today to a Crimson victory,
evening the series and making necessary
a third game. The score was: Harvard
4, Yale 3. A closer contest has rarely
been fought between the two ancient
rivals.
The Crimson tied the score at 3 to 3 in
the ninth, and in the last half of the
fourteenth, with one man out, Gannett
lifted a high fly back of second base. Cor- !
nlsh dropped the ball and Gannett slid
into second. Hardwick then sent the
hall far beyond the left fielder. It would
have been good for a home run ordinarily, ,
but Gannett had crossed the plate with j
the deciding tally when Hardwick reached i
second. Finishing the circuit of the bases
Hardwick ran into a wild ovation and was
carried from the Held by exulting gradu
ates.
Harvard took the lead In the third and
took the lead with another tally in the
fourth. Passes by Felton, the Harvard
pitcher, figured in each score. Another
run was roiled up by Yale in the eighth,
but Harvard, which had also scored one
In the fourth, lied up the game with a
tally In the ninth. Harvard’s rally in the
fourteenth settled the game. The next
contest will be played in Brooklyn Satur
day. Score: R.H.K.
