Even Matty's Redleg tailenders, with left-handed Hal Chase on ond and Pitcher Clarence Mitchell on first base, made short work of the faltering Giants in the first ga of the series and laced McGraw's haplesa band by a score of 5 to 3 The record for the trip is now two victories, twelve defeats and one tle. Fred Toney, who is to take a fall out of any team in his present form, turned back the Giants. The National Commission has served notice that all major league clubs whose roster includes thirty- five or more players on Sept. 15 will not be permitted to file a draft for this season, The announcement also reminds the clubs that the major league drafting season begins on Sept. 15 and closes on Sept. 20. Holke, who was tried by the Giants in 1915, has been bought back from Rochester, and will most likely have the inside track as Merkle's successor. Dick Kinsella thought highly of this youth, He is leading the International League regulars at bat. He has taken part in 108 games, been at bat 422 Umes, scored 72 runs, made 143 hits, stole 22 bases and has hit .339, Hi most likely rival will probably be Rod- riguez, the long Cuban, who has been recalled from New London, Pittsburgh and Boston divided a double header, the former winning the first by the score of 6 to 1 and the latter the second, 8 to 2.
