SPORTS : THOUGH TEAM IS TRAILING Donie Has Demonstrated He Is Smart as Well as Val- iant—Recruit Mitchell Beaten in Final Tilt With Tygers, 4-2. BY JOHN B. KELLER. LEVELAND, July 1 C struggle all is not so rosy. Home fans are too prone to criticize a losing leader unfairly, and {requently his players blame him altogether for their failures. once in a long while, though, along comes a manager. who, with his club floundering helplessly, never loses his fighting spirit, and despite his severe disciplining of players, often necessary, retains their fullest respect and admiration. One of the rarities is Owen Bush, pilot of the Nationals. From the start of the season Bush, in his new managerial role, has had his whole heart in his work. He has fought vigorously for every point he believed due his club, and when its morale has been weakened ominant personality has restored their by successive beatings, by his di spirit. On several oc¢casions Donie has been too vigorous in his battles for the club to suit the umpires and hag drawn suspensions, his last “offense of this nature occurring Monday when he was ejected from the fray by Umpire Holmes, but these things appeh to the best of managers and ush's lost arguments certainly de- tract nothing from his ability as a pilot. Perhaps no greater tribute to Bush @z a leuder could be paid than that ©f a member of the Nationals, who for obvious reasons will remain; nameless here. This player. who has| been associnted with several clubs in the American League and served un- der & number of managers, evidently 1s quite sincere in his pralse of Donie, too. Here's what he says of the n ilo capable manager. He is a brainy base ball man, a very likeable fellow and the most vallant leader 1 ever have | played for. He is with ¥ minute and they certainly are| with him. The spirit of co-operation between manager and plavers is as splendid on this ciub as it possibly| =ould be.* We have been unfortunate this vear, but it has not been due; to any mistakes by Donle. Injuries to regulars have handicapped us frequently. We probably would not be as well off as we are without the | #pirited leadership of Bush.” Mitchell Good, Though Beaten. Sitting on the side lines yesterda: Bush saw the Nationals beaten 4 to their third loss in the series of four gemes with the Tygers, but he saw a game well pitched by Monroe Bel- vedere Mitchell, the club's latest re- cruit. This youngster. who but re- centiv worked for Memphis of thei Southern Association, p: red cools Iy under firo and with any “breaks”| would not heve suffered defeat. H Reld the slugging Tygers to eight safeties, mrstifying them frequentl: with a_slow ball that he cont well. Should he develop Mitchell will have many batters of the league baffled. Mitchell was unfortunats enough to be opposed by Sylvester Johnson when the latter was enjoying one of his hest d. The Tyger hurler had a sharp-breaking curve and de- spite a lack of control, kept the N tionals off the paths at critival mo- ments. He yielded but six swats and except in the Busamen's two scoring nings was quite strong. After they had counted in the second inning ‘and again In the third the { 3 big | tionals had ile bases jammed. yet could do noth- ing with Johnson. He also was blessed with good support, sev of the Tygers' putting up rem 3 games sficld. ) Cobb's crew got a run in the first funing without tne aid of a Lit.

Ruel walked and so did Mitchell, after Peck and O'Neill were out, but Lelbold popped to Rigney. In ihe third inning, after two were out, Rice doubled to left, Gharrity was hit and Ruel was .passed, filling the bases. Peck then rifled a drive along the right-fleld foul line, but Heil- mann, who was playing toward that edge of the field, made a great catch to_end the session, Bluege doubled and Goslin walked 4n the fifth inning, but Rice forced Goslin, Gharrity popped to Haney and_ Pratt’s startling play retired .

Peck’s sin- gle to right tallied Sam. CAUGHT ON THE FLY Trainer Mike Martin is keeping Manager Donie Bush company on the sidelines. Mike was ordered from the field for some remarks made after Holmes expelled Bush Monday. Their suspensions are indefinite. Hellmann's stenl in the third in- ning was a pecullar affalr. He had a long lead off first when Fothergill with a hardy swing falled to meet the ball for what was evidently in- tended as a hit-and-run play and dashed toward second just as Ruel heaved to Gharrity. Pat made a gal~ lant backward swipe for an expected Tetirement at first almost at the same time that Heilmann was sliding into the middle sack. Ruel was the victim of a remarka- ble stop by Pratt In the fifth inning. The Natlonals' catcher hit a zipping grounder along the first base linc, but Pratt intercepted the ball for an out, even though spun completely around by the drive. ra rkat | ‘The most sensational catch of the game was made by Hellmann in the sixth Inning, when O'Nelll swatted a low looper to right. * The Tyger came tearing In madly and with his gloved "hand deflected the ball into his bare ne for an out.

C, WEDNESDAY, JULY 18, 1JOE JACKSON’S CASE ° MAY DISRUPT LEAGUE AMERICUS, Ga., July 18.—With “Shoeless Joe" Jackson scheduled to arrive here today to take his place in the line-up of the local team of the South Georgla Base Ball League, the management of which Is said to have guaranteed him five weeks' empldy ment, and with the decision of the | assoctation's directors In thelr meet- ing last night at Albany that Jack- son cannot play here, the local base ball world today sits in a muddle and wonders wheat the next move will be. Telegraphic advices yesterday from Leslie M. O'Connor, secretary to Judge Tandis, commissioner of oi Banized base ball. were to the effe thut p! 8 who knowi ¥ _play with cuflawed ball players might subsequently find themselves barred rom the minor end major leagues. The teams in the South Georgia league are made up largely of col- lege and semi-professional players and a number of these are said to iplaying with or against' Jackson might have on their base ball futures. The South Georgip League is not 2 member of organized base ball and therefore not bound by any decrees issued by Judge Landis. But the de- cision of the league's directors for- bidding Jackson to play with the lo- cal club is interpreted by some to evin a desire on the part of the of- ficlals to abide by the spirit of Judge Landls' ruling banishing Jackson and other former White Sox teammates from the ranks of orsanized base ball for throwing the 1819 world se- ries to Cincinpati, and also to avoid causing any futire embarrassment to players in the league who may some time have an ul‘nnrfiluml) to “step up out of the bushes.
