r 20 ‘SPORTS. "’ Condition a Sad Commentary on Avarice of Owner- ship, But Is Not a Factor in Defeat of Griffs by Hugmen, 4 to 3. BY JOHN B. KELLER. EW YORK, August 31.—While they have not clinched the American N League pennant, the Yankees practically are certain to represent Ban Johnson's circuit in the world series this fall, and what a terrible field they will have to offer when hosts to the National League champions! There should be seats aplenty within the huge stadium, but the grounds -surrounded by that vast structure of steel*and concrete are | at present a‘disgrace to major league base b#l. The infield, so verdant wheir the Nationals last played here in July, is denuded of grass and widespread barren patches appear in the outfield, while the entire playing space has been packed so firm that both batted and thrown balls are subject to freaky bounds when striking in any part of the inclosure. The present condition of the field is & sad_commentary on the avarice of the Yankee ownership. Lured by €enormous rentals, the management of the stadium gave it over to pro- noters of prize fights, wild west shows and other exhibitions at which |g wASH] &pectators were not confined to the | Feckinpaugh, ss..... regular stands. Seats provided for |Goslin, If the ring contests played havoc with | Rice, if. . the infleld. and great portions of the |Judge, 1b.. outfield, but it seems that a rodeo il ¢ held here recently did most damages to the grounds. Wher tiers of seats stood in the outfield not far behind the diamond, the surface now is rolling, depres elons deep enough to make the going difficult for fielders appearing where the seat supports once rested.

The paper, in an article published two weeks ago, charged that the two players had been approached by gam- blers during the last series here with New York, when the Giants won five straight games, Judge K. M. Landis, base ball com- sloncr, was expected to arrive in Cin- cinnati shortly, and it was sald a conference engaging the commis- sioner, Herrmann and the two play- ers will be held, % John A. Heydler, president of the National League, was expected to be present and also, presumably, Barrett O'Hara, representing Bert Collyer, owner of the paper which published the article, it was reported. VETERAN PLAYER DIES. PHILADELPHIA, August 31.—John Milligan, catcher for the old Phila- delphia Athletics and the St. Louis Browns when they were members of the American Association, died here yesterday. He was for years a local court attache. VANCE HAS FANNED 146 IN 28 CLASHES Arthur “Dazzy” Vance, star pltcher of Brooklyn, has surpassed his strike- out record of last season by turning back his 146th victim this year, ac- cording to averages compiled from Associated Press box scores, which have been verified thrugh official figures. of the National League, in- cluding games of August 29. Last season Valce was credited with 134 strike-outs in a total of 38 games. His record this year has been still more remarkable in that he has retired 146 men on strikes in but 2§ games. Vance's closest rival for the National League strike-out honors Adolpho Luque. Cuban pitching ace of the Cin- cinnati Nationals, who has fanned 131 men in 38 games. Rated according to games won and lost, Luque has considerably the edge on the Brooklyn hurler. Their standings follow . W. L. Pct.1B. H. R.

Petworth and Legion still are at each other's throats in section A, while the Milans and Phils remain in their dead- lock for top place in section C. Yesterday a worthy contender in section B of the uniimited diviston lost its chance at the title. When Do- minican Lyceum fell before the Mo- hawks, 6 to 2, it placed itself in the “also ran” column. o Dominicans had the chance to tie the Mohawks for first position, but they found Finney Kelly's pitching too formidable. The losers threaten- ed in the fifth, but Kelly was equal to the otcasion, fanning three in a row after allowing a trio of bingles. Mickey McConnell toed the mound for Dominicans. His offerings proved easy pickings for the Indians. He was | nicked for ten safe clouts. Monk | Fraser led the attack, garnering a| double and a triple in two trips to the plate.
