hit Chapman was a fast one that took a
fierce jump as it approached the plate.
“Chapman, never had a chance to get
out of the way.
Mays was told of Chapman's death
by a reporter after he nad told the
story of the accident. He said he had
nothing to say except that he was pro

Tris Speaker, manager of the Cleve

operation disclose# a rupture of the ;
lateral 6lEns and a quantity of clotted
blood. A small piece of skull was re
moved •
However, after the operation, the doc
tors expressed little hope of being able
to save the player's life. They declared
hia condition was such that he could
live only a few hours.
This information, when carried to the
Cleveland players at their hotel, who
awaited up for news of their teammate,
had a depressing effect. They retired
after leaving word that news of any
developments should immediately be sent
to them. They were called shortly after
5 'a. m. and Informed of Chapman's
death.
PLAYING HELPS
KEEP TEAM CP.
Chapman was one of the best short
stops In either of the major leagues. His
work has aided greatly in keeping the
Cleveland Indians well to the front In
the pennant race.
He was the first man to bat In the
fifth Inning of yesterday's game and was
leaning over the plate, crouching low.
Maya, who has an underhanded deliv
ery, threw a fast, sharp curve. Chap
man (lodged, but the curve caused the
ball to follow him and struck him on the
left side of the head.
Mays was working Chapman carefully
and the fact that the ball struck Chap
man was because the curve broke faster
than the batter expected.
Chapman dropped to the ground un
conscious. The crack of the b..:i bitting
his head could be heard over the entire
Polo ground/ >
ihe Cleveland players gathered around
Chapman sand attempted to aid him. A
doctor was summoned from the stand
and gave first aid, Chapman regained
•’onsciousness for a moment, the only
time before his death. He was carried
from the field and hurried to the hospital.
PLAYER’S HOME
AT HERRON, ILL. ’
At the hospital today It was said the
body was still being held there, but
probably would be send to Cleveland at
once. Chapman's home was in Herron,
Williamson county. Illinois. His wife
was living in Cleveland during the base
ball season and was notified when he
was injured. She was en route to New
Tort early today.
Chapman was 29 years old. He was
born in Owensboro. Ky„ and broke Into
organized baseball in 1910, when he
played with the Davenport club. He re
: malned there part of the 1911 season,
when he went to the Toledo American
association team. 4
He went to Cleveland in 1912 and since
has played continuously with that club.
During 1810 he was ont of the game for
,two months with a broken ankle.
Chapman always played the position of
, shortstop with the exception of a brief
period when he filled in at second base
i and laterlKateird for the Cleveland team.
His was consistently

MICHIGAN PLAYER DIES.

•lager, il. of Plain well. Mich., died In a
hospital at Kalamazoo today from Injur
ies received when ho was struck In the
head by a baseball during a game In
which tie wag playing at Kalamazoo Sun
day. His skull was fractured and he did
not regain consciousness.
Reds Protest Giant Game
CHICAGO, Aug. 17.—Manager Moran
of the Clncy Reds today wired President
Herrmann to file a protest on the game
In New York on Sunday. The gTonnd
taken by the Red leafier is that the game
wag started less than two hour* before
sunset, and was therefore an illegal con
test under the rule*.
The Giants and Braves played a
double-header at the Polo grounds Sun
day. The first game was a wild affair,
which Went eleven Innings, and was In
terrupted by a bottle shower that de-,
layed play for a long time. The Brave/
won the game, 8 to 7, but It took them
three hours and ten minutes to do It.
The second game, which was won by
the Giants, was called on account of
darkness at the end of the seventh In
ning. It lasted only one hour and ten
minutes, and the Red leader therefore
believes that It was started too late to
Jte legal.
The rules expressly state that a cham
pionship game must be started at least
two hours before sunset. If it Is discov
ered tb#4 this game was not started in
time to comply with this rule It will
.have to be thrown out and played over
again.
The race Is so doße this year that the
champions cannot afford to overlook any
bets.
Third Time Up
The Washington club gets no unknown
youngster when it take* on Shortstop
Frank O’Rourke In it* deal with Toronto.
This "youngster" started his baseball
career in 1911 In the minors, had a trial
with the Boston Nationals the next year,
went back aad bobbed up again ln’lOli
with Brooklyn. However, he has been
playing ball Uka a youngster—rather like
a veteran, for youngsters are not playing
the approved brand—for Toronto this
year.

CHAPMAN LOSS
MAY COST FLAG
Fate Starts Showing Hand in
Major Races.
These are the day# when luck—pood or
bad—will provide material for the en
tire winter league season. A muffed fly*
a strained tendon, or a home run may
change the complexion of the race.
One of the first serious flings of fate
was aimed yesterday at the Cleveland
elub, when Its shortstop. Ray Chapman,
was beaned by Carl Mays of the New
York Yanks and Inter died.
The tragedy puts It up to Tris Speaker
to fit anew inflelder Into the machine
he has had working so well.

Despite the accident Speaker’s crew
finished ahead of the Yanks In the one
important game of the American league
yesterday. The Indians thus planted
themselves more solidly In first place,
permitting themselves a little time to
overcome the loss of Chapman. •

Kokomo Club Obtains
Vardon and Ray for
Match With Yanks
KOKOMO, Ind., Aug. 17.-—Kokomo is
preparing to entertain the largest crowd
that ever witnessed a golf match in In
diana when Edward Ray, national open
elinmplon, and Harry Vardon, his Eng
lish running mate, meet Chick Evans and
Walter Hagen, Sept. 14, in an eigbteen
hult\ nest uaxi match over the Kokomo
Country club course.
Ilav ts one of the best shot makers
of them all and without a doubt the
ii'i i timer caat plays the game. For
a big man he hss a fine touch with his
putter and there are very few in the
game today who will out-putt or ap
proach hint.
Harry Vardon, who won the United
States championship twenty—years ago
and who is a man 50 Years of age, has
lost none of his cunning, as was shown
in the close race he gave the present
champion at Inverness, coming to the
finish barely a stroke behind. His swing
is beautifully timed and he plays the
game with the ease and grace of a real
champion.
Every kind of a shot known to the
game and probably some that are rarely
seen played will be witnessed in this
match, and, flavored with an Interna
tional feeling, it should be one of the
best exhibition matches the two Eng
lish champions will engage in during
their present tour of the country.

LONG HITS DEFEAT US
RT. PAUL, Aug. 17.—It’s not much use.
These Saints are too much for the
fighting Hoosiers, their long bats doing
the dirty work in the series opener yes
terday and thereby placing the Indians
in a position where they face the task
of scrapping it out uphill the remainder
of the visit here.
The Tribe was going along In fine style
yesterday behind Whitehouse until tlul
sixth, when the Kelleyites knotted the
count and then proceeded to step out in
the seventh inning and clinch it,for the
day. winning 6 to 3.
The Hoosiers scored in the first, sixth
and eighth, while the Saints confined
their counting to the sixth and seventh,
but they registered a huge total in those
twp frames.
The leaders grabbed two markers in
the sixth and four in the seventh, giv
ing Dan Griner a fairly safe lead to
finish on.
Whitehouse was knocked out of the
box In th<* seventh ahd during the re
mainder of the game, three other Tribe
hurlers appeared at various times. Jones,
Cavet and Gaw going to the mound In
turn.
The Saints got two home runs, by Har
grave and Miller, a triple by Riggert and
a double by Berghamraer, these distance
clouts doing tbe big damage. The Kel-

leyttes obtained all their ten hits for the
dqy off Whitehouse in the six and one
third innings he was on the mound.
The Saint outfield cut capers that threw
dismay into the Hoosiers’ ranks. Hass
made a barehand running catch off
Kores, Riggert pulled a spectacular trick
off of a Schrelber drive that started like
a homer, and Miller raced back
and captured a liner sent out by Skin
ners that certainly would have been a
circuit clout if it had gone through.
With the score tied in the seventh
Whitehouse weakened and walked two
Saints. These passes 4vere followed by
a triple driven out by Riggert, and that
put two runs over. Haas, next up,
fanned, but Miller lifted one over the
fence.for a homer, scoring Riggert ahead
of him.
Hargrave’s homer was scored In the
previous inning with Miller on base.
The left field fence here is easy for long
fly hitters and it must be said that Har
grave and Miller have the range down
to perfection.
Jess Petty was slated to operate on
tbe firing line against the Saints this
afternoon and he hoped to keep Hargrave
and Miller hitting in a direction other
than toward left field.
