GIANTS BUT TWO GAMES IN FRONT lose to Pittsburg While Braves ¢ Winning. Pittsburg, Aug. 320.—The Giants took .a drubbing yesterday afternoon in a batter battle. . This meant a loss of twoggames out of three here. Inability toéstrike with men on bases | caused their ‘upset. The score Wwas 5 to 1, and ifithey don’t get together with the wand and cease wasting base hits the lead can slip away from them in a very few-days.

Cincimnati, Aug. 20.—Boston made {t three. out of four by winning yes- terday’srgame from the Reds, 3 to 2. Three. errors in the fifth inning al- lowed the winning run to slip across.

Chicago, Aug. 20.—The Dodgers | hammered Vaughn and battered Zabel and soshad little trouble in beating the Cubs. The score was 6 to 0. Vaughn lasted but two rbunds, and not only did he yleld four hits but he was wild in the bargain. Aitchison was good in the pinches. The hits se- cured by the Cubs show they could find him all right, but their lack of runs show that he tightened when it became necessary.

Philadelphia, Aug. 20.—The Ath- letics squeezed out a victory over De- troit yesterday by the score of 7 to 6. After taking a big lead in the first inning the Mackmen were not favored with the breaks of the game. In the seventh Detroit went ahead, 6 to 5. The home team went out in front again in the eighth, merely be- cause Catcher Baker dropped a throw and because pinch hitter Harry Davis tripled to right. The score: r. h.

At that Pete has the best record of any of the local twirlers. Hits were lacking yesterday—that is, hits by the Skis. The New York Giants are now only two full games ahead of the Boston Braves, Russell Ford may not be able to pitch again this season on account of an injury. Detroit used five pitchers vainly in an effort to stop the Athletics. Jim Thorpe went in as a pinch hit- ter and made a hit. Ray Caldwell, the prodigal, has re- turned to, New York but not to the fold of the New York Americans. To friends he intimated that he would be pleased to make his peace with Manager Frank Chance. “If Chanc ‘will let bygones be bygones and remit the fine of $300 I will do my best to wipe out our late trouble,” Caldwell told a friend yesterday. “I am through with Caldwell,” said Chance, “I am not going to waste any more time nor worry any more him. He is a great pitcher, I know, but a bad influence to a club, If he comes back to Newy York he will have to guarantee good behavior. And that $300 fine will go too.” David Fultz, of the Baseball Play- ers’ Protective association, announced yesterday the receipt of a message from “Garry” Herrmann saying that ‘William Holden, the former Yankee player, who was traded to Baltimore in July, was a free agent. Tom Needham, the veteran catcher and the best poker player in profes- sional ball, and Charlie Smith, pitcher, were unconditionally released yester- day by the Chicago Nationals. Presi- dent Thomas said their release was in the ‘“interests of economy.” George Klepfer, a pitcher, now with the Venice club, of the Pacific Coast league, has signed with the Chicago Americans for next season. Klepfer comes to Chicago as a result of the transfer of ‘‘Doc” White to Venice, the Chicago club having its choice or players on the California team. Bob Vance has been signed as shortstop by the Brockton Colonial league team. Vance has been play- ing with the Glace Bay team of the New Brunswick league, Vance is the well known East Berlin athlete.

If the New Haven batters do not jump into the .300 class this week it will certainly be no fault of the New Britain team. When the smoke had cleared away after yesterday’s nine | innings of slaughter the White Wings | were ahead by the score of 13 to 0, and had pounded Pete Wilson to all corners of the lot for a total of nine- teen safe swats. The best New Brit- ain could do was to secure five singles, Jones, Zeimer, Clarke and Noyes be- ing the only men to connect safely. ‘Wilson had two strikeouts and Jensen two, The game was featured by the heavy hitting of the White Wings and the slow work of the locals. The Ski outflelders were kept busy and Daw- son particularly was kept on the jump. Clarke, New Britain's second base- man, pulled a bone in the seventh when Wilson caught Waters napping off first. The New Haven catcher was | dodging between first and second when Clarke suddenly held onto the ball and Waters scooted back to first amiq general laughter. In the fifth Sherwood, after he had hit for two bases, was tagged out at second when he puled his foot off the bag. Aside from a brilliant stop of a hard drive over second in the fourth by Pepe and Dawson’s catch of a long fiy which he had to pick off the left field fence in the seventh the game was simply a swatfest. If the team had expected to play to a large crowd it was doomed to disappointment, for although there were many more than usual present the attendance did not exceed 300.

(Special to the Herald.) Washington, Aug. 20.—Governor Baldwin has written to the members of the Connecticut delegation in con- gress asking them to sypport the bill for the improvement of the channel in the upper bay of New York, intro- duced in the senate by Senator O'Gor- man. In the opipion of the gover- nor the plan outlined in the bill for the improvement of the water facil- ities of New York will be of great ad- vantage to the defence of Connecticut in case of war at any time, He gays: ‘At the present moment vessels of war of heavy draft cannot communicate between the Sandy Hook channel and Long Island Sound by the way of East river and Hell Gate. To remedy this the board of engineers recommended extending the Ambrose channel, so-called, into the upper bay of New York."” He asks the congressmen to ex- amine the engineers’ report and the accompanying maps and says: “Should you do this I think you will be of the opinion that the interests of Connecticut would be promoted by the improvement suggested. It would, of course, be commercially beneficial besides its military advantages, and offer increased accommodations for the trafic coming by way of the | occasion. Panama canal, the barge canal and the Cape Cod canal.” CLOSE ADVISER OF GERMAN EMPEROR General Carl von Buelow is one of Germany’s staff officers who is close adviser of the kaiser in the war. He was formerly head of the Third army corps and is considered among the best and most experienced of the gen- | eral staff, TOM CROOK RELEASED. Tom Crook was handed his release by the New Britain management last night.

Theg gay that we made organized baseball into a condition of slavery, and regard a man only by what he can be sold for—that we have ceased to view baseball as a sport, and look on it as a hopper, grinding ball play- ers into mere articles of merchandise. They have painted the men behingd organized baseball deep black celo and the time has come when, for t sake of the game, and in the interest of fair play and true sport, the real made known. Praises Marsans. “It wae in 1911 that my relations with Marsans began I want to say at the outset that he is a good ball player, a very good ball player, in fact Indeed, my statement of the steady increases in salary we haws given him is alone sufficient to shew the high value we attach to him. The situation, which has now developed, does not reflect in any way on Mr. Marsane’ ability. And now to com tinue my story Bought For $6,000, ‘We bought Marsans from the Ne Britain club, and paid $6,000 for hi which included also the ser- of player Almeida, another Cuban. Marsans was receiving $150 a month from New Britain. We started him in June of 1911 at $350 a month, and increased this the next vear to $400, and last season to $3,400 for the season of six months, or have vices 'nearly six hundred dollars a montis Laet winter we sent to him in Cuba an offer of $3,800.

In other words, we met his proposition without any argumeps, feeling that we were giving him a fair deal, and one which entitled us to fair treatment in return. You must , bear in mind that a baseball contract is a business proposition, representing one of the principal assets of a club, It is absolutely essential to have such a contract clear and definite, and when, as in the case of Marsans, it was drawn according to his own su, gestion, we felt justified in regardin it as final.” New London; second Charles Richards, of Norwich, third alternate, John C.
