JEAN’S JOTTING. The White Sox had an unusual visitation of extra inning games last week:. They beat the Yanks in an eléven inning game and beat the Washingtons in one of thirteen in- nings, The Washingtons trimmed = them in a fourteen inning tussle and also one of thirteen innings, A teeming week for Comiskey’s pen~ rant hunters, Slim’ Caldwell was more than due to win & game, and while he was gaf- fing the Detroits on Saturday he dld it up in first class style. A frequently spilled bromide re- 4 garding some crack pitcher is this: “If Blank was with such and such a club he’s never lose a game,” but we never saw a pitcher that good. “What grounds do you like best to hit on?”’ Bob Beescher was asked. “Well,” answered Robert after a pause, “St. Louis suits me as well as any of them, and then again I don’t see any better for that purpose than , Brooklyn.” Many are the ex-Giants with ball clubs which are higher in the stand- ing than the Giants, among them Snodgrass, Gowdy, Stock, Bescher, Demaree, Becker and Bresnahan. ‘Whence comes all Mamaux’s speed He is a slender youth who will fill out and get bigger. but at present slender- He doesn’t get the wrist in as does Joe Wood for his smoke, but he has a long, free step, a beautiful shoulder movement and the whole de- livery is rhythmic. The rooters who are with you through thick and thin are the kids, the boys who are admitted in flocks now and then at various parks throughout circuits. They stick in fair weather and in foul. They're for you win or lose, and don’t quit you when you're down- No derisive yells from them.

Now that it is seen ‘that they have the human trait of not being able to accomplish the impos- sible, there is, in . some' 'quarters, about as much appreciation for what each has done for- his respective town and league and for baseball as there are red corpuscles in a turnip.

TS Mr. “Tener of the National doesn’t teague like - the : hidden ball trick while others think it accomplishes about as much as the hit and run trick. Regarding these huge stands which are being built. Are they getting them too far away, and is there a result too much aloofness between player and patron, too much formal- ity and keeping one’s distance with a dying out of the closer relations ana friendly familiarity between fan and player which did much to sustain lo- cal interest? Sometimes Dave Robertson = has trouble keeping his throws in the ball park. He arched one from right to third in Saturday’s game and every- body who could be spared went over to that corner and backed up. It may be, but we doubt it, that there are three American league teams each of which could win the pennant in the National league this yvear, and then again it may be, which we believe, that there isn’'t a team in the National league that couldn’t finish zhead of the Athletics. Pitching combinations for the Sloujits for a recent stretch of games read: Groom, Crandall; Watson, Crandall, Croom; Watson, Groom, Crandall; Crandall Willett:; Crandall, Groom; Crandall, Groom,” Watson. Either rescuing or being rescued, Messrs, Watson, Groom and Crandall have been quite busy. All is quiet on the money market, but the Boston, Detroit and White Soxs teams are still running neck and neck in the American league selling race- Within the last few days they have added much solid strength. GOLFERS WATH BASEBALD- Stars Take a Swipe at Ball—Cobb Refuses to Emulate. Detroit, Mich.,, Aug. 30.—Thou- sands of baseball fans at Navin Field yesterday watched three Eastern ath- letes stand behind home plate and hit golf balls which whizzed over houses more than fifty yards beyond the center-field wall. The young men were Francis Ouimet of Wood- land, Mass., Jesse Guilford of Bos- ton, and Max Marston of Springfield, N. J., They are golfers. The ball game between Detroit and New York was halted about the fifth inning. The three famous golfers, at- tired in civilian clothes, were es- corted to the diamond by Manager Jennings of the Detroit club, one of the many Tigers who play the Scotch game. In quick succession Ouimet Marston and Guilford drove- Each ball sailed over the wall near the exit sign and seemed still to be on the rise when it' was lost from sight. Guilford had the best luck. He hit a.low screamer that traveled on a line until it reached deep center. The crowd cried for Cobb to give an ex- hibition, but Ty after watching Guil- ford’s ball start on its journey to- ward the Canadian border, threw up his hands in amazement and walkcd to center field. REPORT GANADIAN TROOPSHIP SUNK Claimed 1,000 Lives Lost—0t- tawa Denies Story Berlin, Saturday, Aug. 28 (By wire- less telegraph to Sayville, N. Y., 29th) —Passengers on the Holland-Amer- ican line steamer Ryndam arriving in Amsterdam bring a report that a British transpart with 2,000 Cana- dian troops on board, was torpedoed off the Scilly Islands on August 15. It is said about 1,000 men were saved. Canada Denies Report, Ottawa, Aug. 30.—Official denial was given here last night to the re- port contained in the Berlin message by wireless to Sayville, N. Y., that a British troopship carrying 2,000 Canadian trops, has been sunk off the Scilly Islands on August 15. The military authorities issued the follow- ing statement regarding the repart: “Between the 31st of July and the 24th of August only two troopships with more than three hundred troops on board have been despatched from Canada. and they have both arriven safely at their destinations. Mareover every troopship bearing Canadians has arived safely at their destina- tions. No Troopship Overdue. “There is no Canadian troopship overdue, and if the story coming via Sayville has any basis for truth it must refer to the torpedoing of the Canadian Northern steamship Royal Edward in the Aegean, the report of which event reached Canada August 17th. No hint has come from British sources of th foregoing report. ‘While it is possible that, had such an event occured, the British cen- sor might have withheld the news, this is improbable in view of the fact that official announcement was made. promptly of the torpedoing of the British transport | Royal Edward in the Aegean sea, with the loss of about 1,000 men. The Royal Edward was sunk on August 14, one day before the date mentioned in the wireless desptach from Berlin and it is pos- sible that the report brought in by the Ryndam’s passenger’s is a gar- bled version of the incident. The Ryndam arrived at Rotterdam August 22 ahd has since sailed on her return voyage for New York. The trip from Rotterdam to Amsterdam requires only a few hours, so that % is probably the Ryndam’s passengers who proceeded to Amsterdam reach- ed there August 22 or 23, nearly a week before the date of the Berlin despatch. GIBBO! IS FIT. St. Paul Wonder Ready For Packie— Friends to Bet 2 to 1. St. Paul, Minn.,, Aug. 30.—Mike Gibbons considers himself in such good physical shape for his bout with Packie McFarland at the Brighton Motordome on September 11th, that he has become fearful of avertraining which is as'bad or even worse than under training in a boxer. Saturday he took a day off, his anly exercise being a walk through the woods and hill climbing.. He was accompanied by his brother Tom and his two hunt- ing dogs. Gibbons spends as much time as possible in the open air, regardless of weather canditions. His daily programme is to rise at 7 o’clock and after breakfast take a five mile run on the road, followed by a long swim. He walks a few miles after lunch and bef¢re going into the gymnasium. After working on the pulleys, weight machines, punching the bag, shadow baxing and spa,rr g from eight to twelve rou: w(t jls' sparring; part- ners, he ge down and mas- sage. Then he takes a nap for two hours and just before supper has an- other swim. He is in bed at night at ten o’clock at the latest. ‘While Gibbons is always in first class physical trim he is devoting more time to training for the Mc- Farland match than he has for any other. He looks so good to the St. Paul fans that they have made him a 2 to 1 favorite over the Chicago man. Several fans came from Chi- cago Friday to see him work and get a line on him. Gibbons left here vesterday for New York. Mc to Assist Packie. John McCormack, the nated Irish tenor and a close personal friend of Packie McFarland, will join the lat- ter's training camp at Brighton Baths when he arrives here to finish his training for the bout with Mike Gibbons at the Brighton Motordrome on Sept. 11. The stockyards boy has no stauncher rooter than McCor- mack and whenever they are in the same town they pal tagether. McCormack who is quite an ath- lete himself, plans to put on the gloves with Packie for a round or two every afternoon and also oppose him at tennis on the courts at Bright- on Baths. Mr. McCormack will give a box party on the night of the fight. He has reserved three boxes for himself and his friends. BAKER STILD A HITTER, Mdia, Pa, Aug. 30.—Upland clinched the championship of the Delaware County league yesterday by trimming Media, 9 to 6. Upland won the game by hard hitting in their kalf of the eighth innings, when they made five runs. This run-getting was due to the terrific and timely hitting by Frank Baker, who, with three balls called on him, sent the .next one soaring over right field fense for a home run- In the second inning Baker’'s double sent in two runs, and his batting won the pennant for Upland.

Carlson last night issued a statement charging that Frank F. ‘Walsh, chairman of the federal com- mission on industrial relations, had spread “mendacious statements” re- garding the political and industrial condition in Colarado. “Mr. Walsh, with vicious and sub- t!e cunning, is imputing the domina- tion of Rockefeller, to an overwhelm- ing majority of Colorado’s citizens,” ran the gavernor’s statement. ““With the sophistry of the mountebank and the prestige of federal authority he slyly seeks to transfer to our people the prejudies of the nation against this man of wealth. After a series of million dollar bguffe hearings he would convey to the nation the idea that the majority of our citizens who in the last election registered their protest against violence in labor dis- putes had no knowledge of the facts or were corruptly influenced.” After declaring that the people of the state at the 1914 election deliberately de- cided against strike violence, the gov- ernor continued: “By nature a mountebank and a sensationalist, he (Walsh) did not tell manager of Mr. Munsey's interests for the past eigh Oliver annaunced that alone in purchasing these HOLYOKE STRIKE Two Members of 0 Suspected for Appro Holyoke, Mass., Aug. 80, sirike which has complef herst since midnight Thu far from encouraging tod of the stae board of were temporarily suspel day night and will prob sumed today. leymen’s Union were susp the organization in & mi day on a charge of appi low them to desert the ranks ers.
