PLAYERS ACCUSED Browns Owner Claims Games Were “Thrown” to White Sox in Recent Series—Johnson May Start Inquiry. Another hornet's nest has been stirred up in baseball circles. Phil Ball, former Federal league promo- ter, who is now owner of the Browns, has made serious charges against his players, and President Johnson may be called upon to conduct an inquiry. Ball, according to reports from the west, reported to have stated that the Browns have been purposely los- ing games in order to discredit Man- ager Fielder Jones. Two weeks ago Joe Dugan, the New Haven boy, who is now with the Ath- letics, gave some interesting side- lights concerning the Browns. Ac- cording to Dugan the poor playng of the Browns has been a subject for much comment among the American league set. He Says that the players, as a whole, cannot understand the failure of the Browns to win. It is admitted all along the line that St. Louis sports a fairly good ball club and many believe that there may be some truth in Ball's accusations. In a statement recently issued by the St. Louis magnate he declared that for each $1.000 that he will lose on the year each player will suffer a $100 cut in salary. Ball refuses to believe that Jones has mismanaged the Browns and says there will be no change. The recent string of victo- ries scored by the White Sox over the Browns is one of the reasons for Ball's outbreak. The White Sox have strengthened their grip on the lead- ership at the expense of the Browns and Tigers, CITY LEAGUE Eight Teams to Comprise League— First Games to be Rolled September 18, —Officers and Managers.

The speedy youngster, sired by Sen- ator Hale, surprised the talent by capturing the second heat from Rus- sell Boy and in doing so lowering his race record to 2:023%, half a second faster than his previous best perform- ance. The other three races on the day program were over the track and were comparatively performances. Minnie Arthur won the 2:17 trot, having to fo four heats, as Snow's bay mare broke in the sec- ond heat and let Plucky Chap through first to the wire. In the 2:14 pace the field was ex- ceptionally poor and the first heat, in 2:19%, won by Rich Hal, caused the judges to call the drivers, Gardner and Martin, to the stand and advise them to go out and race and bring the horses home in something near the time of which they were capable. Rich Hal took the second heat and after that stopped almost completely, Birdie Alcyo winning the next three. Driver Small tried hard to shut out the field In the final heat, but Rich Hsl, and Red Norton were saved by a scant length.

Mr. Ventres said something about his victory over some 'certain men. Now, if Benjamin started to tell about the big men he has beaten, it would by far excell Ventres record, and he does not want to take up too much newspaper space with trivial things. As to Benjamin's advice as to diet and how to get strong, well, that was not for Mr. Ventres' benefit. It was for some people who admire Ben- jamin's physical development and tremendous strength, and who wish to try his recipe. Benjamin in my opinion will have a sure victory for he has been up against Ventres type before. Signed, DWIGHT HOLDEN, Per, F. Iven “Kid" Benjamin. FAVORS SUNDAY BALL.

New York, Sept. 8—DMagistrate Mil- ler, in the Jamaica magistrate's court vesterday upheld Sunday baseball playing, when fifteen young men, who were arrested on July 22, were ar- raingned for a hearing.

But the Gothamites came right back in the second section for a 4 to 1 victary, which left mat- ters just as they had stood at the start. The 6 to 0 shutout is easily ex- plained. ' Walter Johnson is the an- swer. At least he is the answer to the shutout. Slim Love is the answer to the proportion. The Mighty Iafha catapult set down the Yanks with three hits, two of which were collected by Hughie High. Love went all to « pieces in the eighth inning, when, after giving a base on balls, he al- lowed five consecutive hits. Big Mon« roe was rushed to the rescue too late. Bob Shawkey outpitched Willie Shaw in the second game. It was.an uphill struggle, as Washington scored first in the fifth, after two were out an a pass to Ainsmitk and singles by Shaw and Menosky. New York tied in the sixth on a double by Hendryx, a fielders choice, and an infield out. The Yankees finally clinched the victory with three runs’in the ninth in- ning.
