It is generally conceded that the Giants, in Holke, Herzog, Fletcher and Zimmerman, have the best in- fleld in the National league, if not in organized baseball. But there seems to be no doubt that Matty also has ‘one of the classiest infields in either major wcircuit. Chase is a shade better than Holke at first base. There is no comparison between Her- zog and Shean at the middle bag, al- though the latter is a first class field- er. Kopf, the Reds’ lively shortstop, is not greatly outclassed by Fletcher and may excel the latter next year. Zimmerman is the king of third base- men, but Heinie Groh is not far be- hind him; If Matty secures a hard hitting second baseman next season, the Reds’ infield may be rated in the same class with that of McGraw's great baseball machine. MAY ESCAPE DISCIPLINE. Detroit, Aug. 23.—Del Gainer, Boston first baseman and Chick Gan- dil, Chicago first baseman, are not likely to draw fines or suspensions for their fight Tuesday after the game between their teams, contending for the American League championship. President B. B. Johnson of the league said here yesterday that the matter had not been officlally reported to him, but from press reports he did not judge the circumstances justified disciplinary measures. ED WADSH KNOCKED OUT. Boston, Aug. 23.—Ed Walsh, the veteran pitcher, was knocked sense- less in the second inning of yester- day’s St. Louis-Boston game in this city. Watson hit Walsh on the back of the neck with a pitched hall. The Boston manp was carried from the fleld but recovered in a few minutes, GOULD RELEASED BY INDIANS, Cleveland, Aug. 23.—The Cleveland American League baseball club last night ahnounced the release of Pitch- er Al Gould to the Toronto team of the International League.

COPS BEATEN AT BASEBALL. Jim Naughton’s All-Star Team Proves Too Much for Minions of the Law, The mystifying slants of *“Eddie” Goeb of Pioneer fame, proved too much for the New Britain police team yesterday afternaon at St. Mary’s playgrounds, the’ bluecoats going down to defeat'to Jimmy Naughton's team, score 6 to 2. The form dis- played by the minions of the law was however, gratifying to their follow- ers when it is taken into consider- ation that Goeb is one of the crack hurlers of the City league. There were numerous plays that brought applause from the suppor- ters of both teams, the hitting of “Pat” Howley and “Doc’ Dunn car- rying off the honors. In the flelding line catches by “Bill” Mangan, “Jim" Naughton and “Shadow’” Massel were very classy. Jim Naughton lived up to his reputation by dropping one fly during the afternoon. The batteries were Goeb and Ring- rose for the victors and Miller, Ca- belus and Cully for the vanquished. The local bluecoats will play the Mer- iden police in the Silver City next ‘Wednesday afternoon, and a return game will be played in this city later on. BROWN-DRUMMIE COrack Lightweights to Olash at Han- over Park Next Thursday—Johnny Shugrue to Appear in Semi-Final Bout. 2 Lew Brown, manager of Chic Brown, yesterday completed arrange- ments whereby the local lightweight will box Johnny Drummie of Water- bury in the star bout of 12 raunds to be staged at Hanover Park, Meri- den, one week from tonight. Brown is already in training for the bout, which marks the third between the two. There will be no Brown-Kunz bout in Stratford next month, the Bridgeport promoters refusing ta meet the former's demands. In the semi-windup to the Brown- Drummie mill, Johnny BShugrue of Waterbury will oppose Young Miller of New York for 10 rounds. Miller knocked out Shugrue several months ago but the latter has since shawn great improvement. The preliminary will show Joe Cur- rie of this city and Young Lenny of New York for six rounds. Alderman Dave Fitzgerald will referee the bouts. TRAGRESSER ESCAPES DRAFT.

Aug. 23.—The National league record for long distance games was shattered to smithereens yester- day afternoon at Ebbets field, Brook- lyn, where Wilhert Robinson’s last year's champions engaged in_ the final tussel of the series with Pitts- burgh. The final count favored the Brooklyn athletes, 6 to 5, after twenty-two innings of heartbreaking baseball. The game breaks a record that has stood in the National league since July 14, 1914. On that record-mak- ing day in 1914 the Pirates were op- ponents of the Giants, when, in the twenty-first inning, Larry Doyle belts ed a home-run .drive which sent Bescher home ahead of him and gave the Giants the honors of the conflict by 3 to 1. Umpire Bill Klem, field marshal of the day, ordered the teams to com- mence the second advertised game.at 5:56, after they had been working for four hours and fifteen inutes, but Bill called a halt in the second in- ning, evidently conscience-stricken teargs had already put in a day's work. Zack Wheat, who had jumped into the struggle in the fourteenth in- ning in place of his brother, Zach, started the final frame with a foul fly to Miller at first. Hickman re- ceived a pass from the crumpling El- mer Jacobs and advanced to secogd on O’Rourke’s single to left. On Otto Miller’s grounder to Debus, O'Rourke was forced out, Ward to Pitler, Hick- ./ man sprinting to third. Pitler evi- dently thought that Hickman would not “attempt to make home and de- liberated whether to throw to first in an effort to double up O. Miller. While Pitler was thus deliberating Hickman was rounding third. He stopped just a fraction of a second to look over his shoulder at the play ‘at second and then continued on to the plate, beating Pitler's belated throw with ease. The score: r. h. e Brooklyn— 1220000000000000000001—6 28 Pittsburgh— 10010022000000000000000—5 19 4 Cadore, Cheney, Marquard %nd Miller; Cooper, Jacobs and W.

Forest Hills, N. Y., Aug. 23.—Play- ing true to form throughout the fourth round of the National Patriot- ic singles tournament here yesterday. Eastern and Western experts in equal number won places in the semi-final to be contested on the courts of the West Side club today. Although there wes an absence of the upset which marked the opening round of the play for the tel;lnls association ambulance fund there was at least one surprise which startled the close followers of lawn tennis. Craig Biddle of Philadelphia forced R. Lindley Murray of Niagara Falls, N. Y., to drawn upon every ounce of his endurance and skill in order to win after a gruelling five set match which hung in the balance until the final set. The contest between R. Norris Wil- liams 2d of Boston and Harold A. Throckmorton of Elizabeth, N. J., was another five set battle of thrills which ‘Williams finally won at 6—1, 4—6, 6—4, 6—3. Charles S .Garfand of Pittsburgh, the youngest of the third round sur- vivors, was eliminated by John R. Strachan of San Francisco in four sets at 6—1, 2—6, 6—2, 6—3. Strachan was entirely too fast and steady for Garland, who had previously won a place in the second round of the jun- for championship, which started ves- terday. The victory of N. W. Niles of Bos- ton over Clarence J. Griffin of San Francisco was ever easier. Niles ran out in straight sets by score of 6—1, -6—38, 6—0. Yesterday’s play closed with an ex- hibition match between Miss Mary Brown of San Francisco and Misg Mol- la Bjurstedt, of New York, in which the Californian reserved the result of the last two matches between the wo- man stars by winning at 6—2, 6-—d. ‘Miss Browne was exceedingly fast and accurate in her play today and scored in rapid fire order against Miss Bjur- stedt, who appeared unable to get her strokes working satisfactorily.
