Duel For Leadership of
the Majors Continues
Close Race In National League Is Feature—Washington Club
Shows Much Improvement—Caldwell Poles Out Four
Home Runs In Four DayS—Giants Doomed
For Cellar
New York, June 13—The double duel for the lead in the major
leagues continued during the week with varying fortunes for
the quartette of competitors, the week-end finding Philadelphia
leading the National circuit and Chicago heading the American
list.
' 1 iin* two i mcago teams tne wtme.
Sox made the better work of It, holding
their lead with an even break, while the
Cubs lost more games than they won and
relinquished their premiership.
The American leaguers found the going
easy in New- York. hut encountered
thornier paths in Boston and Washington.
Meanwhile, however, Detroit was finding
the Bostons equally hard to beat. Jen
nings’ men thus were forced to surren
der the leadership after one day’s or
cupany and failed to regain lost ground
yesterday hy succumbing in a battle In
Philadelphia, while the White Sox were
losing a close struggle with the Nation
als.
Clark Griffith’s team made the record
for the week in games won and mounted
faster than any other team In either
league. With the return of Shanks and
Chick Gandil to the line-up the Wash
ingtons have shown improved form. They
passed New York and went to the first
division and if they continue to main
tain their recent game the race In the
younger league is likely to develop added
Interest. On recent form the Washing
tons will have to be included in the list
of possible pennant candidates.
WASHINGTON TEAM
SHOWS GOOD FORM
The remaining clubs In the league seem
already out of the running even for first
division honors, although Branch Klekey
doubtless expects to get better results
with his St. Louis club when his really
formidable pitching stare rounds into
form again. With Connie Mack the sea
son looks more like one of foundation
laying for future years than one In which
a serious hid for honors is to be made
now. Neither Cleveland nor New York
seem strong enough to break permanently
the ranks of the present leading quartet
Fortunes of National league teams ran
remarkably even. Only the Phlladelphias
did better than the average and onlv the
New Yorks did worse. The advantage
gained by the Quakers, howeveV, was
largely lost today when they remained
idle while the Cuhs played the Bostons
beat them and after a day’s trailing,

foul deed, attempted to redeem him
self by scampering to third on a wild
pitch where he starved to death wait
ing for "Shotgun" John Wallace to
come through with the blow in the
pinch—in other words, the sale wal
lop.
After this Baronial exhibition of
spurting on, the paths in the second,
(he visitors religiously abstained from
embarrassing Pilcher Holmquist with
theli presence on the hags until the
ninth when one -lone Baron secured
Ci( ( transporatlon to first base. It was
’•’ocicss exertion as *Iolniqui»L atfclfu
him heart against further philan
thropies and the Molesworth band had
quaffed of bitter defeat.
One Clayton Perry materially aided
the Gulls in their victory by securing
three of the six safe raps off Ro'iert
snn. The Gulls started scoring in the
third when Schmidt singled, was sac
rificed to second, stole third on the
dumbness of Hale and scored on Car
roll's weird throw. In the fifth North
en singled, stole second and third on
the pool* throwing of Hale and scored
on Flick’s sacrifice fly. The last run
of the game was made in the sixtli
when with the bases full, due to hits
and errors, Robertson deliberately
walked Hub Northen and forced in a
i un. Calhoun then proved an easy out.
The features of this afternoon’s game
other than the sensational hurling of
Jeff Holmquist, was the fielding of
Perry, Dobard and Miller, and the bat
ting of Perry.
Tomorrow’ afternoon Townsend will
pitch for the Gulls and Black for the
Barons.

nounued hack to a tie tor the lead witn
Pat Moran's men.
The continued closeness of the National
league race had a good illustration Sat
urday when, as a result of the games
played every club of the eight shifted
positions. Such shifts are possible nearly
every day now so compact is the bunch
ing of tiie teams. None has shown form
consistent enough to develop a pro
nounced winning streak. The Brooklyns
are a case in point. They had been going
well until they reached Cincinnati, when
they struck a decided snag. One game
won and another tied was the best they
could do with the Reds.
CARDINALS WILL
BE FACTOR IN RACE
Aside from the contestants for the
leadership, the week's play gave St. Louis
more reasons for encouragement than
any oilier team. Huggins’ men topped
tlie lists in batting during the seven
thly pc riod and made the most runs.
r,heir demand for a place in the first
division can hardly be denied long at
this rate. The Giants are batting well
but are getting iess results from their
bits and are finding the pitching prob
lem a serious one.
The banner performance during the
week was that of Ray Caldwell of the
Yankees. Each day of the week’s last
three the elongated twirler made a home
run, twice in succession as a pinch hitter
and once in the course of a game in
which he occupied the box. Twice two
rfien scored ahead of him on his drives.
The record of games played, won and
lost, with runs, hits, errors and men left

SMILING RAY
\
RAY CALDWELL
Star pitcher of New York Yankees lias
made the remarkable record of making
four home-runs in four successive days.
Manager Donovan sent Caldwell to pinch
hit last Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day and the smiling pitcher responded
with crashing home-runs in each instance.
On Saturday Caldwell took his regular
turn in the box and besides pitching his
team to victory walloped out another
circuit clout. Some hitting and some
pitcher.

HUGHEY Shaw, the young out
fielder recently released by
Little Rock, will not hook
up with the Pelicans, according to
the scribes In New Orleans. The
latest reports from Pelican town is
to the effect that Johnny Dobbs is
satisfied with his present line-up.
This means "pronto” for another
job by little Hughey.
* * *
In the New Orleans papers John
ny Dobbs is quoted as saying nice
things about Shaw.
"I’d like to use Shaw.” said
Dobbs, "hut cannot break up the
present combination to make room
for him. He is a good boy, and I
hope he gets on somewhere."
We are certain young Shaw will
appreciate the good wishes, at
least.
* * *
However. Shaw might hang
around Birmingham a little longer.
The “jinx” may not have complete
ly left the Barons and if some one
gets hurt—Shaw will come in
mighty handy.

Coyle Shea, the colyum-ist of the
Memphis News-Scimitar, has the
following about Dave Roth, re
cently:
All-in Dave’ Roth can't do a
thing these days but win every
game he starts. Not a bit more.
“And it has been widely circu
lated of late that every time Carl
ton Molesworth picks up a box
score with Roth drawing a victory
he refuses to shave for a week. At
this rate Molesworth will have a
full heard by July.”
It is cruel of you, Coyle, to re
mind us of the dear departed.

From the Louisville Herald.
A Kansas paper tells of a man who
went home under the influence of liquor
■tnd in his anxiety that his wife shouldn’t,
know it, he put on a pompous mien. "Why
Will," she said, "you’re drunk." "Not
tall.” "How in the world did you get
hat cut on your forehead?" That stumped
lim. hut a bright, thought came: "I bit
Tiyself." "You bit yourself? Now, how
did you bite yourself on the forehead?"
But he had her there and he came right

One of the most remarkable come
backs in baseball is Harry Cove
leskie, the big blond haired role,
who is starring with his portside
slants for the Detroit Ty-gers.
Coveleskie, several years ago as
tonished the baseball world by win
ning three victories from the New
York Giants in the latter part of
the season, and by so doing nosed
out the New Yorkers from the Na
tional league pennant. After this
notable pitching feat Coveleskie
faltered and went back to the
minors. A year as a Baron and then
Covie went to Cincinnati only to
come back to the Southern league
again. Finally, the Detroit Ty-gers
drafted Covie and last season the
big Pole came through with a re
markable record. This season Cove
leskie ranks as one of the best
pitchers in the majors.

This Roy Ellam person who has
been hanging around Birmingham
for the last four or five years,
ain’t liable to remain here much
longer if he continues to wallop
the ball. Ellam is overdue in the
majors as it is now.

Robertson pitched a nice game
yesterday but the premier hurler
of the Southern league could not ex
pect to win with his opponent
pitching a one-hit game. Dickie,
when you draw a hard one there is
honor even In defeat.

The way these minor leagues art
threatening to close up shop brings
to mind that there soon will be a
hungry bunch of ball players on the
market. Rig salaries, the Foder

due for the toboggan into oblivion.
Good riddance.
