society women last ( etober he was
asked If he would retire from the
e.imc and devote Ills time to a busi
ness in which he had acquired an In
terest. "I'll play next year for I want to
help give Tr!s Speaker and the CI' ve
land fans the fust pennant Cleveland
ever has had ' Chapman replied
Then I will talk quitting."
Chapman also was a star track man
and football player In competltletn
with hundreds of athletes Including
many stars of large universities Chap

I NEW YORK Aug. J 7 New York
baseball tans paid final tribute to
night to Ray Chapman shortstop of
the Cleveland American team, who
died early today from the blow he re
ceived on the head from a pitched
ball in the game between New York
and Cleveland yesterday. Tgnlght
chapman's body was put aboard a
train for Cleveland, where It is to ar
rive tarlj tomorrow.
FY RESPECTS
Today while the body lay at the
undertakers' rooms, hundreds of base
ball fans called to view n fJnd tonight
acted as an escort as the coffin was
placed on a trunk car that carried it
through the station to the ir.iln The
fans formed an aisle near the gates
and stood with bared h ads a.- the ir
bearing the body passed through.
While the death of Chapman lias
caused sorrow among baseball mag
nates, players and fans, none seemed
ah deeply grieved as Carl Ma;, s, iht
New fork pitcher, who delivered the
ball that resulted In Chapman s death
After the game yesterday, Maya went
to his room and denied hlmsi it to all.
Ho paced the floor during the nlghl
and when word came today that
Chapman had died, he broke down
and said he desired to give himself up
as soon as possible
On his visit to the district attor
ney s office, Mas was accompanied
by Charles Mclfanus, business m i
g'T of the Yankees, Manager Trls
Speaker and Seen tar-. Walter Mc
Nichols of the Cleveland lufc
Mays made his statement to Assist
ant District Attorney John p. Joyce.
The pitcher, eyes filled with tears and
barely able to teil his story, said
"It was a straight last ball and not
a curved one. When Chapman came
to bat I got the signal for a straight
fast ball, which I delivered It was ;
little too close and I saw Chapman
duck his head to get out of the patl
of the ball. He was too late, howevei
and a second later he fell It was th
most regrettable Incident of nij
earner and I unnlrl e-lve nm ihinr li
II could undo w hat has happen d
After hearing .May's story. Mr
Joyce said he thought Chapman's
death was accidental."
Manager Speaker of tho Cleveland!
club, talking with Colonel Huston,
part owner of the Yankees, said the
accident was unavoidable
"'I do not hold Mays responsible.'1
he added. I have been active in
discouraging my pla.. rs from holding!
Mays responsible and in respect to
Chapman's memory as well as for the I
good of baseball. I hope all talk of
this kind will stop. I can realize Ma si
feels as deeply 'u any man court) and
I do not want to add anything to his
burd' n 1 do not know what prompt
ed the nctton of the Boston .md De
troit players. For my part I think it
is deplorable." Speaker referred to
the report from Boston that the play
ers would not play In subsequent
games with Mays.

deep Into the host of his admirers
as soen as it became known that an
operation had failed to save his life.
The thought that the diamond tragedy
would spoil the Chances of the Cleve
land and New York teams for the
American league pennant was general
.U her hotel, .Mrs Chapman, whcS
arrived from Cleveland several hours
after her husband breathed his last,
refused to receive the profcrrod con
solation of her husband s friends and
team mates. Except Tor Trie Speak
er, she would see no one.
I Karlier she announced her Inten
tion of going to ihe undertaken par
I lore, but later when It was learned
that the body could be moved to
.Cleveland tonight, jhc declared she
would wait until her arrival home.
The postmoi tem examination of the
body bioughl no new information. Ac
cording to tne autopsy surgeon. Chap
man died from a blow in the left
temporal region which fractured the
skull, depressing part of bone, whb h
caused an Inter-cranial hemorrhage.
DEEPL1 l?OU RED.
Colonel Huston said he was deeply
touched by Chapman d death. I am
terribly sorry that Chapman was
killed he said I m sorry such an
accldi nt had to happen in our park
or that any of our team had any con
nection with it it is unfortunate that
I a should have been Mays who pitched
the ball, loo, because of the tremend
ous publicity he has had. I can't say
anv more."
He admitted there would be bltter
I ness on the part of players, but said
I he had assurances from Trls Speaker
tnai he would do all possible to prc
vent an attitude of antagonism be-
coming general among Chapman'si
i team males.
'.thousands of fans, most of whom1
did not know Chapman had died,
gathered to see todays -rame. They
