IS HON'IS WAGNER SLIPPING? Wonder Expressed as to Whether Vet eran Shortstop Will Be Supplant ed in Shakeup of Pirates. The Pittsburgh Pirates have been a big disappointment this season. At the outset they looked like pennant winners. They secured a big lead in the early stagea of the pennant fight and it looked as if they might make a runaway of the race. But all of a sudden something happened. The Pi rates started to slide down the chuto and they finally touched bottom. It is hard to tell what is the trouble with Clarke's team. One criticism Is that there are too many veterans on It. Another year will likely set a bitr Accidents, Extra-Inning and No-Hit Gamr Among Unusual Occur rences in National Game. A series of unusual occurrences marked July in professional baseball. Extra-Inning, no-hit games and acci dents on the diamond were grouped within a few days, as was the case Just about that period in 1913. Taking these unusual features by dates, July 17 saw Clyde Milan in col lision with Moeller, his teammate, aa both raced for a fly ball in the Washington-Cleveland game, with the result that Milan received a badly fractured Jaw. On the same day George Weaver, captain of the Chicago White Sox, col lided with Demmitt under similar cir cumstances and was severely injured about the head. A no-hit-no-run game and a 21-innlng struggle also figured in the record of July 17. At Pittsburgh the New York Giants and the Pittsburgh Pirates played 21 innings, the New York club winning by 3 to 1. Rube Marquard and Babe Adams, the rival pitchers, twirled tfllT entire contest. With the exception of the 24-iuning game be tween the Philadelphia Athletics and the BoBton Americans on September 1, 1906, this is the longest game ever played In tho major leagues. Three days previously the Hartford club defeated the New Haven team 2 to 1 in a 23-innlng game In the East ern association, which is the third longest "game in the record ol profes sional baseball. The 26-innlng coatost between Deca tur and Bloomington of the Three-Eye league, played on May 31, 1909, still holds first place, and the Philadelphia Boston 24-lnning match second posi tion in the ret'orl of lo'.g games. Getting back lo July 17 again, James Withers, pitcher of the Duluth club of the Northern league, twirled a no-hit-1 no-run game against the Virginia club -of the same league. This is the third hitless game of the Northern league this season. The next day at Lebanon, Pa., the Lincoln Giants, a semi-professional team, varied the schedule by defeating the home club 23 to 3, and incidentally scoring eight home runs. Three play ers each secured two circuit hits. Moving on to July 19, the records show that the Wichita club of the Western league defeated Sioux City 3 to 2 in a 21-inning game which re quired 4 hours and 48 minutes to play. On the same day at Long Branch, N. J., Jose Acosta, the Cuban pitcher of tho seashore team, shut out the St. Louis American league club without a hit or run, winning a 3 to 0 victory, in which he did not give a base on balls and had but twelve balls called on his delivery for the full nine innings. p)a!jjp.j . .... n V A Beautiful Line of j New Fall Shoes to Show You.

Harry continued, saying, "The big one who held down the initial sack in days gone by could do just two things, that of hitting the ball mighty hard on the nose when it was grooved, and catching a perfect throw. "'Stuffy' Mclnnis ha3 proved be yond doubt that a big fellow is rather in the way on first base in these days of fast, scientific baseball, providing the small fellow has the same require ments as that of Mclnnis.

"The old time first sackers, such as Anson and Brouthers, couldn't hold a job lu the big league today. Comiskey alone of those early first Backers could field. "Claude Rossman was about the last of the old type. The Athletics learned through Ira Thomas, previ ously with Detroit, that Claudle couldn't throw. Hence in Rossy's de clining years the Athletics played to get the ball in his hands and then, well nothing could stop them on the bases., "This was the alide on which Rossy went to the minors."
