BUCKS MAKE ONLY THREE HITS OFF SHERROD SMITH Score Is 2 to 0, Tribe Getting Both Tallies Off Zachary Early in Contest—Winning Hurler Pitch BY JOHN B. KELLER. Bucks to a sHutout defeat to Only 29 Baismen. s today in the initial game of their CI,E\'[‘.L:\XD. July 26—Sherrod Smith’s southpaw slants sent the second western invasion of the year. The forkhander ordered to the slab by Tris Speaker had about everything a good pitcher needs and allowed the Bucks but three safeties, while the Indians got to Jez Zachary's Teft-handed service for enough in the early part of the fray to get a 2-to-0 verdict. The scoring was done quickly Chief Speaker got a_homer down the icft field line after two were out in the first inning and in the second round George Burns’ two-bagger, Riggs Stephenson’s retirement and Bill Lutzke's single produced a tally. Smith pitched to only 29 batters and did not yield a pass. Nemo Leibold got a single to center in the first frame were thinly spread. and was promptly caught trying to steal Toe Judge smote a two-bagger between Pat McNulty and Speaker. were two out in the ninth when Sam Rice singled to right. Zachary. too, nitched well, but noth- like his adversary. Jez was in- he too stylish in his per- 1d_had to hurl himself out frequent! He gave up eight hits and five passes, one of the latter being intentional. After he was jarred when he stopped with his injured risht hand a terrific smash off Stephenson’s bat in the eighth, Zach went out of action and Oyster Joe Mariina took the slab to refire Smith, the last Indian to step to the plate. Speaker Tlits Homer. The Tribe did not wait very long to break into the scoring column. Mc- Nulty grounded to Judge to start the home club’s first turn at bat and Summa fouled to Ruel. Speaker, though, socked the ball down the left field line, the sphere hitting the chalk mark just after it crossed the third ack. “Gosiin fumbled the ball as it bounded from the stand and was some- what slow in recovering it. Tris was turning the far corner when Goose threw to Peck and the latter's relay reached the plate with the Tribe chieftain. Ruel shoved the ball azainis Tris, but Umpire Connolly waved the runner to a homer. In the next inning the Tribe added another tally. Luke Sewell fanned at the outset, but Burns rattled the cen- ter field barrier with a double and got 1o third as Peck tossed out Stephenson. Lutzke, not a particularly good hitter azainst southpaws, surprised Zach and the remainder of the Bucks by poling a single _down the right field line to score Burns, Burns was the only Indian to get on in the next two innings, drawing a pass with two gone in the fourth. In the fifth, though, they bad the sacks crammed with twd gone. Smith’s Gouble and walks to_McNulty and Speaker did the work. Then Peck took Joe Sewell’s hot one and retired the side with a heave to Judge. In the sixth Luke Sewell and Burns, the first two to face Zachary in the frame, singled. Stephenson, however, grounded to Harris and a double-play resulted that left Luke Sewell at third base. Lutzke got Zach out of difficulty by fanning vigorously Threaten in Seventh. With two gone in the seventh, the Indians again threatened to go on the warpath. Sum rolled to Harris, who made a brilliant stop, but had to whirl in the air for a throw to Judge. Joe failed to keep his foot against the bag in reaching for the ball and Summa was credited with a single. Speaker strolled, and for the second time in the zame the hard-hit- ting Sewell had a chance to drive in runs. But Joe’s best was a crash to center that sent Leibold back far and fast for a catch. Two more Indians got on the paths in the eighth after Luke Sewell popped to Peck. Burns sent a slam along the left field line that Bluege was fortu- nate enough to knock down and hold to a single. Then Stephenson sent a ter- rific drive toward Zach that the pitcher, disregarding his healinz fractured thumb, got in front of and stopped. ach {ossed out the batter. but the blow bothered the hurler so much that 7e was content to give Lutzke an in- tentional pass_while Martina finished warming up. Then Ovster Joe stepped to the slab and Smith flied to Goslin. ‘ CAUGHT ON THE FLY CLEVELAND, July 26.—Faster fielding by Goslin might have pre- vented Speaker's homer in the first inning. The Goose was a trifle slow n getting to the ball and algo siow in starting a throw. Peck’s relay got to the plate the same time as Tris did and Ruel tagged the run- ner, but Umpire Connolly ruled Tris safe. Ruel protested vigorously and narrowly escaped getting into the bad graces of the arbiter. Burns made a great play to rob Judge of a hit and retired the hatter in the Bucks' second inning. Joe hit a liner over first base. but Burns managed to slap down the ball and recovered it in time for a retiring togs to Smith, who covered the sack. Peck made a nice play in the third when he went back of second base o recover a ball Summa had bounced off Zachary's glove. It was a high bounder., but Feck's throw beat Summa to first. In the fourth frame Hluege came in_speedily to take with his bare hand Luke Sewell's slow roller and make a retiring toss to Judge. After one was out in the fifth and with Smith on second by virtue of a double, Zachary walked McNulty. Summa grounded to Judge, but Speaker drew a pass to -load the sacks. Then Peck made a good stop and throw of Joe Sewell's hopper to end the trouble. Harrix and Judge figured in a neat double play in the sixth inning when there were Indians on first and sec- ond with none down. Bucky took Stephenson's hopper, _touched out Burns on the line and heaved to Arst to retire the batter. Summa contributed _the fielding feature of the game when he backed to the right field barrier and made a Jeaping catch of Judge's liner in the eighth. Contrary {o = statement made by Manager Harri¢ in Washington, Ossie Bluege was retained at third and Tom Taylor kept on the bench in today's game. Taylor may get into the line-up at the hot corner to- morrow. PO CARPENTIER MATCHED.

DEAL FOR SCOTT IS OFF, OWING TO HIS DEMANDS BY JOHN B. KELLER. LEVELAND, July 26—Any strengthening of the Bucks at bat or afield will not be due+the efforts of one Floyd Scott, late of Kansas City in the American Association and now enjoying a retired life because of differences between himself and President George Muchlebach of the Blues. This catcher-outfielder who walloped the ball at a lively rate in the association, and for whose services President Clark Griffith oi the Nationals arranged a deal that sent Outfielder Bert Griffith, Infielder Chick Gagnon, Catcher Red Hargrave and cash to Kansas City, has failed to report to the Bucks here and Prexy Griffith declared today that he is through with Scott forever. Griffith has notified Muehlebach to &end back immediately Catcher Har- srave and the cash. Kansas City may keep Bert Griffith and Gagnon if it cares to pay the price the Washing- ton owner has set upon them. When the deal was arranged it was understood that the players were to lose no time in getting to their new posts. _ Griffith and Gagnon got out of Washington quickly for Kansas City and Hargrave left a couple of days after them, being compelled to take a bit of time to arrange for the transportation of his family and household goods. Scott Breaks Up Deal. But Scott, on the other hand, got {on his high horse and demanded $2,500 |before reporting to the Bueks. He did not care whether the money came from President Muehlbach or Presi- dent_ Griffith as long as he got it. The Washington boss avers there was nothing in his_negotiations that guarantees the granting of such a bonus by him, nor had he been_told by the Kansas City head that Scott had a contract caliing for a part of any purchase price. Scott did not get the $2,500 from any source and has been sulkiog since the deal was arranged, according to reports. This holding-out business has finished him, so far as the Bucks are concerned. President Griffith felt that he had paid high enough for the star of the Blues sending three players and a bundifiof coin to Kan- sas City. Even shouM Scott decide to cast his lot with the Bucks without getting a bonus he. would be spurned. Landls Dacks Griff. < Tt certainly seems that President Griffith is morally right in this Scott case. and Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, high commissioner of organ- ized base ball, has assured the N: tionals’ prexy that he is legally right in the matter, too. Landis while in Washington a few days ago perused the correspondence _relating to the deal and told Griffith that Kaneas City's failure to deliver the player to Washington immediately as provided in the transfer papers really consti- tuted a breach of contract. President Griffith, though, decided to give Kansas City and Scott a little more time to decide upon What course to take. Orders were sént to Scott to' report to the Bucks in Cleveland, although he should have arrived in Washington last Monday or Tuesday. But when Griffith reached here late last, night and got into communica- tion with Kansas €ity by telegraph and telephone he- discovered that little had been done by either the association club or the player. More communication followed this morning before Griffith finally told every one concerned in the other end of the deal that it was off altogether. So the Bucks will have to get along without the services of Scott and he will have to look elsewhere than Washington for a major league afiliation. Manager Bucky Harris is more than anxious that Red Hargrave rejoin his club within a day or so. The pilot feéls that the team is in for a hard drive until the end of the season and does not -want to take a chance with only 'two catchers. Muddy Ruel has been bruised and battered consider- ably by the vast amount of extra work he has been called upon to per- form lately, and while Benny Tate is ‘a very capable performer more than “him_is needed for reserve strength. Harris wants at least three catchers on the local roster, and now that Scott, who was reputed to be a fair receiver as well as a good out- fielder, is.not to be had, Red must hustle back. “We saw mothing but & ball game said President Griffith when he and Manager Harris arrived last night af- ter a Friday afternoon lay-off at Buf- falo. “Neither Buffalo nor Newark showed us very much.” However, it is known that both the president and manager of the Bucks are interested in an outfielder belong- ing to an International League outfit, and more than likely he is a member of Buffalo or Newark. Bill Zitman of Newark has been playing sensation- ally this season, and so have a couple of other pasturemen with that club and the Bisons. Cleveland papers are panning Tris Speaker and the Indians unmercifully and. it seems somewhat unfairly. Tris ‘has been working hard, his club had been setting the batting pace in the league lately and several of the play- ers have toiled faithfully, but fans here appear to want a winner or nothing. They have been getting a deal of the latter this season. The tribe has been handicapped from the start by illness and injuries. Now it is having more trouble. Chick Few- ster, who proved such-a thorn in the sides of the Nationals during the last series here, is at home in Baltimore, nursing a broken toe, and it developed yesterday that Charlie Jamieson,, hard-hitting and fine-catching out- fielder, who hu:i wrecked many a game for ¢he Bucks, is out of action as a result of a finger shattered dur- ing the Boston games. Young J. Benson Brillhéart, who recently was sent back to the Bucks from Norfolk, will be kept around for a time to give- the team batting practice against left-handed pitching. —_— MACKS HELP TYGERS TO WIN IN ELEVENTH DETROIT, July 26.— Two bases on balls by Harrls and two etrors gave Detroit the winning run in the eleventh inning, defeatimg Philadelphia, 5 to 4, In.the’Airst game of the sories’ hero to” ay.

The result was a jolt to tenmis followers, who figured of distance and too daring attempts at difficult Although Hicks appeared to possess more grace and polish than his opponent, he tricd to play the ball too close to the line. McGinty was rarely abje to use his drive to advantage, as he was pressed to employ chopping tactics. His service, however, was speedy and well played, although he faulted frequently. He played a waiting game, allowing Hicks to take the errors. Both finalists are capable of better tennis than they played yester- day.

When she finally touched the rail, three yards ahead of her near- est rival she had equaled her own world record for the distance of 1 minute 12 2-3 seconds riton Scores Easily. . Charlton was not seriously troubled in the 440-vard event, and he alwaya seemed to have the measure of Lester Smith of San Francisco, his neares: rival, although in the final spurt th Australian was forced to show h ery best swimming wares. Th effort landed Charlton at tho finish three vards ahead of Smith. The best race of the afternoon, and the one which caused the most en- thusiasm among the small group of American 'spectators, was the 440- yard team race for women, each com- petitor swimming 110 yards. The first pair, Miss Euphrasia Don- nelly of Indianapolis and Miss Tan- ner, finished their course in a dead heat, ~but Miss Mackenzie _soon established a lead for the British swimmers, and this was increased by Miss Shand, who swam against Miss Margaret_Ravior of Philadelphia. Miss Gant, Great Britain’s last swimmer, had a lead of nearly four yards at the beginning of the final lap, and it looked as though she would have a walk-away, but Miss Wehselau just plowed her way through the water, and at half of the di tance had reduced the lead of her oppo- rent to about one yard. The English- woman began to tire after this. and de- spite her early exertions Miss Wehselau gained on her opponent at every stroke and finally won easil. Water Polo Game Exciting. Those who were disappointed at not seeing Great Britain pitted against the United States at-water polo in the Olympic gam had their desire fulfilled today. Although the final score of 2 to 1 was in favor of the Americans, there was not much to choose between the two teams in the matter of tactics. ‘Where the Yankees held the upper. hand was_in speed and accurate passing. Hal Vollmer, New York A. C., scored America’s two goals in the first half, during which time the run of play had been in favor of the visitors. This was reversed during the second period, Great Britain attack- ing strongly and shooting often Thanks to the excellent goal-keeping of Fred Laver, Illinois A.
