The home team won by hitting Bland- ing hard when hits meant runs. The blg pitcher was sent back in a vain effort to check Washinaton, and for the first three innings the game looked like it was going te be close. ‘Whashington got off to a one run lead in the second, but Cleveland tallied in its half of the fourth and the teams were again on even terms. The close- ness was short-lived, however, as ‘Washington landed on Blanding in the fourth for two doubles and two sin- gles, and these helped along with an error, were good for three runs. The Jocals scored again in the sixth and in the efghth, and with Walter John- son mowing down the Clevelanders in regular order, the result became a certainty. Johnson in Fine Form.

Pendleton, Jr., Says Ll_tham'u Record Is Five Miles in 8 Minutes, 37 1-2 Seconds. C. V. Pendleton, Jr., writes The Bul- letin as follows: _ I will thank you to correct an er- Toneous statoment that appeared in the local paper this evening. G. B. Latham of Lebanon, well known as a racer at the Ea~ern gpn- necticut fairs in 1912, and this fall, has won three out of last four races he has entered. In regard to the time ‘would state that five miles in six min- utes, thirty-seven and one-half seconds made at Willimantic on Tuesday of this week is his record in competition. This is at an ayerage of a mile in 1.19 1-2, which fails to equal the time by “Wild Bill” Burdick at the local fair Wednesday, Sept. 3rd, when he ‘went the seven miles in nine minutes and ten seconds, or an average of a mile in 1.18 4-7T. Latham’s stated time of five miles in 5.37 and a balf mile in 35 seconds do mnot very well coincide, inasmuch as 5 miles in 537 would be turning the half miles off in 33.7 seconds, faster time than he claims to have ever turned off a half mile.

John H. baseball the recent death of known all over the the king of umpire height of his career on the diamond Qaffney was a maker of umpires. ‘When he brought into use the prac- tice of going behind the pitcher to umpire he made the task appear Sso much easier that men were encour- aged to try it. Before that time when the umpire stayed behind the bat the time, and not only stood in con- | stant danger of being hit by foul tips. | but often had to guess at plays on the | called the halls and strikes from that position he hadn’t an idea of |ing. ITe thought only of getting s cor- rect decision in the play at base.

Gaffney originated that idea, as he did others. e had a cork pro- Itector made which he put on inside his blouse, The magk of those days ‘wasn't to be compared with the mask of today for serviceability, e catcher played back in the early days of Gaffney’s umpiring experi- ences, After two strikes he came yp behind the bat. Before that he re- mained far back, where he canght the ball as it bounded. Often the catcher was not close be- :}nd the plate for perhaps several in- if the batsmen wers retired in hen the catcher stood back the umpire remained perhaps 25 or 30 feet behind the plate. He stood a littls to one side from the line directly back of the plate, more in line with the batsman. He leaned over so he could see the ball as it came all the way from the hand of the pitcher and when it passed the plate the umpire ‘was ready to step farther from the line of the ball, because the ball usually struck before it reached the umpire and many a time it bounded off at an angle and hit the official before he could get out of the way. One step usually took him to safefy. The um- pire was thus calling the balls and strikes and Leeping his own safety well in mind. ‘When the catcher went up behind the umpire followed and with less firoteeuun than the umplire of today. e stood close to the catcher and called his decisions.

HOW THEY COMPARE. Facts Goncerning Giants and Athletics, | Probable Winners in Big Leagues. | | In view of the fact that the Giants and Athletics dre conceded almost uni- versally now as certain to meet in the }n xt world’s series, the fans are be | sinning to turn iheir attention to the | question of how the two teams com- pare with each other. Though over a month remains before the clash for | | the world’s championship gets under | way, it is the main subject in the of the real followers of the now that the pennant races have d to absorb more than a super- | 1 amount of interest. The series | this year has extra element of attrac- | tion “in that old rivals are meeting agsregations that met only two 3 g0. Enough of the 1911 plavers | still remain to make the tilt practically ja renewal of the same duel. * The majority of baseball men in the country seem to thinlk that the Ath- {letics are the strongest team in the ame, soning thi. ason the much_better out. At the end Quakers were pl grade of ball than Red Sox, who won the pennant and whose performance was good enough | to beat the Giants. This would prove almost a final argument if the present Giants and present Athletics were identical with the Glants and Athletics of Jast fall, but they of course are not. The main basis for the superlor ap- last ng a praisal of the Philadelphians by the | fans, however, is simply that they | seem a stronger team, one with great- | er abiiity, without bothering to delve into the dope for any more specific reasons. This system, though, is like betting on a race horse because of a hunch. It is eoing in blindly, Base- ball 1s a game of such distinct de- tments of play they all must be | constdered separately with one nhase of this team compared to the opposite | department of the other. | the estimate of the Athletics’ batting {in the series must be formed at the | same time that the Giants’ pitching is considered, and vice versa. | 1t such things as base running and fielding were eliminated, the problem w be “Will the Giants hit the etic pitchers harder and more timely than the Athletics hit the Giants' pitchers?” Many seem to be- { lieve they will not, but this remains to {be seen. Both aggregations p tremendous batting power, with ands in shape, and both have pitching that cannot be called other than rreat. In the matter of one team's batting opposed to t her’s pitching, a rem- light thrown toward that old puzzle of an irresistible body n immovable one. ong will have to give way nething stronger, ble for the m: tive excellence to be more than e way or the other. N volish can predict with any degree of confi- dence whether these games will pro- auce the hi oring on record for a world’s s the lowest. A com- | plete triumph for batting would result in the former and the same for pitch- g would bring the latter. Or—which is more likely—it may produce about an even break with scores of average size. J now an attempt might be made to decide the way this unique combat of departments will turn out, but it would be the old blind guess again to | 2 large extent, for many changes may | occur in the outlook between now and | October. For instance, Jack Coombs may show himself to be back in form and the same old Quaker artist of the mound, or it may turn out that his siclness and consequent 1 ong layoff have impaired his eficlency badly. Mathewson may_be lost to the Giants through injury, Home Run Frank Ba- ker may sprain his ankle and Larry Doyle may or may not recover his bat- ting eye. Any one of these things could have a telling effect. Therefore it 1s_wise to lay low and wait until October before making any bold pre- dictions. -GET 202 PLAYERS Many Minor Leaguers, Exclusive Optional Agreement Men, Go to Big Show.

" BALTIC Runaway Horses Drag Driver Along, Baroly Escaping Fall Into Sewer Trench—Travelers Home from Eng- land. Friday morning about 11 o’clock a air of horses belonging to a Taftville man became frightened while standing | in front of the Baltic hotel and started on a run up Railroad gtreet, towards the Catholic church. The driver, who was standing nearby when the horses started, seized one of them by the col- lar in an _effort to stop them, but in do- ing so his arm In silpped in some manner in under the collar, and he was unable to withdraw it. The horses were hitched to a heavy wagon loaded with furnfture. They ran with increasing eed up the street, dragging the driv- er along with them, in the direction of the trench where seven Italian work- men were shoveling. Charles Donnelly, timekeepbr of the workmen, was stand- ing nearby, but did mot see the on- coming horses until they were almost on top of the workmen. He shouted to ihe Italians, who looked up just in time to see the horses befcre y the trench. The men scrambled out in | the nick of time, shoutea at the horses, and threw stone at them to keep them | from plunging into th» ditch. The run- ays kept on and turned up the lane betwen the church an the new con- | vent and were stopped in the rear of the church by a row of posts set across the street. The driver escaped with a good shaking up and a few bruises. Letters Unclaimed. An unclaimeq letter at the local post- office for the week ending August 23d is for Charles Green.
