LINCOLN DAILY NEWS. TCKSDAY, Al'GUST 3, 1015. SEVEN The Spotlight of Sport THE BIG LEAGUE SCOREBOARD. 01' Frank Schulte, who has been drlvng In runs ever since Noah opened his windows and squinted at the heavens, snared the only homer In the big show yesterday. Even old Jupe Pluve has signed up with the Cobb-Crawford-Veach combine.

He waited until the Tigers were two runs to the good against the Red Sox, then sobbed all over the diamond. Yesterday was a great day for the Germans--Jeff Pfeffer won a game, aided by Gus Getz and C. Stengel, while Herzog drew three hits. Connie Mack's last--Mr. Flllinglm-- was most soundly trounced by the Ignoble Indians.

They rather filled 'im full of base hits. Now Mr. Mack should be filling 'Im full of advice. The Cubs are doing things to the Phliries. They've taken two straight from the chesty leaders.

Kopp Is the latest addition to the Senators. If Kopp of the Senators, Koobxof the Browns, and Kopf of the Athletics ever get together they can send the scorers to Matteawan. The Whales and Newarks had a nice little private quarrel which went sixteen innings at Chicago. Earl Mosely went the route for the Peps and was rewarded with a win. Here's a double play: Koob to Kopp to Kopf.

Ka-choo! Jeff Pfeffer would make a swell ending for that play. The Tigers' Record to Date. Won Lost Lincoln 47 Opponents 46 Batting-- AE Lincoln 3216 420 Opponents ...3186 386 Fielding-- PO A Lincoln 2579 1284 Opponents ...2558 1253 46 47 855 830 1GS 181 Pet. .505 .495 Pet. .266 .260 Pet.

.958 .955 Doubleheader Wednesday. The Tio-r-j-i- ST.VP-PS are clashing this afternoon in a double header, while itie IL.UIIO will mix in another double bill Wednesday afternoon, beginning at 2 o'clock. This arrangement, announced today by Hugh Jones, will make Thursday an off day for the Tiger tribe. On Friday the Lincoln club -will open in Des Jloines for the first game of-its final eastern trip. Friday is boosters' day in" Des Moines and the Commercial committee in charge has forecasted a 4,000 crowd.

Bears on Isbells' Heels. Having whipped the Des Moines club in four successive games, the Denver Bears today stand one measly point behind the Isbell gang. The Des Moines outfit was in possession of a comfortable lead when it hit the nvo weeks ago, but the Tsbells encountered hard sledding at Topeka, where they dropped three out of four, while the'reverses sustained in Jim McGill's burg have pulled them down to a level with the Bears. As matters new stand, the result is in doubt, with the odds favoring Denver. The ir.unted superiority of the Des Moines club in the pitching department failed to stand up under the of a crucial series.

Lefty Mogridge, the crack southpaw of. the Isbell staff, was groomed for the Denver series and Izzy had stacked the cards to use his star hurler in- at least two of the crames. Instead of standing the Bears, on their from The'-ifloun'drand pulverized under an avalanche df base hits, the Grizzlies scoring seven runs in one round. That onslaught on Mogridge put the skids under the Isbells and they were shored down the soapy slide for four successive defeats. The Des Moires asgresation should not be classed as down "and out.

yet it is almost inevitable that their sad experiences in Denver will rob them of much of their confidence, which may be an important factor in a driving finish during a pennant-race. The Bears were to the'task of halting the Is- bells and the dope plainly points to a triumph for Denver in- the sprint to the wire. No Minnesota Game. follower of the gridiron game in the Nebraska camp asks why it was that the Co'-nhnsker management did not arrange for a resumption of football relations with Minnesota university. That's very simple.

Nebraska authorities did not to on with the Gophers. They made an effort in that direction a year ago. but l.nc Williams said nix to the proposition of taking an even chance. In other lie was willing to pit his Gophers the Huskers in Minneapolis, but side-stepped the suggestion to enter irto a two-year agreement which involved a return game in Lincoln this Tho doc had unpleasant memories of the defeat of his Gophers in Lincoln and he decided to duck the prospects of Huskers putting on a repeater. Minnesota graduates didn't like to see th- Gophers" run out of a game with a worthy opponent, so they wrote a series of letters to the Minnesota Mumni.

Williams ha? been getting fat and wealthy on criticism and he preferred the sarcastic shafts of the grades to the risk of another defeat on Nebraska field. Incidentally. Cornhusker followers are not complaining. For one thing, they are spared John Ritchie's annual flubdub in the Minneapolis Journal, in which John was given to the habit of advertising the Minnesota-Nebraska game as a "practice bout for the Gophers."

The Federal league reeentlv enticed Outlielder Pete Compton into jumping hLs contract with George Tebeau's Kansas City Blues. Tebeau promptly went into court, securing an injunction which compelled Compton to return to the Hlues or stay out of baseball. The next step in the controversy wa.s a declaration by Gurry Herrmann, chairman of the national bassball commission, that Cornp- ton was a free agent: that he hud not been paid full salary by Tebeau.

which annulled the contract between the player and Tubeau. Scenting a plot to drive him organized baseball. Tebeau tired a telegram at Herrmann which fairly removes the letter's hide. The Tebeau wire was as follows: "Press repoits carry an interview with you on the Compton case. "The manner in which you force yourself in the limelight, on matters that do not concern you is.

to say the least, painful and disgusting. You have no financial interest in the Kansas City club and until such time as you may have, 1 will thank you to mind your business. If the time you spend butting into the affairs of other people was confined to building up the Cincinnati club, perhaps you might have a winner. "The Kansas City club always pays its obligations. In this great battle that is now being waged we fail to note where you, in -any instance, rendered any help to the competing clubs of organised baseball.

Personally I don't want your help, neither do we want your' interference. If not handicapped we will fight and win our own battles. The court at St. Louis ruled on this case. We shall follow its instructions." Object to Turkey Day Football.

Six ministers of Columbia, have filed a protest with the authorities of Missouri university in which they object to the proposed resumption of Thanksgiving day football in Missouri valley conference circles. A dispatch from Lawrence. says: "Jayhawker football followers are again agitated because of fear that the recent ruling- allowing a.

Is the national game slower from a playing standpoint this year than in former John MeGraw swears it is. So do a lot of other veteran baseball men. "The only reason the Cubs ever stayed on top as long as they did is because the National league -the -rottenest ball it -has played in "a decade," opines Jawn. "And the same-- goes for the Phils."

Yet he went out against the Athletics not long tun.ee and did that very thing-, and the twenty-two odd thousand fans who saw him put it over went home convinced that the Kig Moose was right again.

George Chalmers of the Phillies. Is also cited. The debaters point to a whole raft of batters in support of their theory. The most prominent of these is Chief Myers, McGraw's veteran Indian muKkmnn. The Chief Jlnlshed last season with a slug- King average of "He's done." chirped the dope.iters.

Since the Indian has been slugging the ball Ht a rate of although his season's average i.s a good llt below that, due to poor work at the of the season. Fred Merkle and Larry Doyle occupy similar positions, Merkle quit playing in 1914 -with a .268 mark, and JJoyle but two points above him. They are now hitting the ball at a clip above .340 and Jiro crowding Jake Daubert close for the leadership of the league. Art Fletcher Is another. There are a lot of 'em.

Whether these facts Indicate that the game is slower or not, the affirmative de- bnters have a. powerful argument. Charley Comlskey Some Spender. Charlie Comiskey's idea for acauiiing a real ball team is diametrically opposite to the Idea concealed in the dome of Cornelious McGHlicuddy. Mack gets the raw material and develops it, Comiskey buys it finished and delivered.

The White Sox owner has spent close to $200.000 for the finished product in the past few years. His most recent purchase of Eddie Murphy for a sum somewhere near $10.000 calls to mind some of the real money he has handed over to the finishers for hall players. For Eddie Collins. $50,000: for Ray Schalk, $1:2,500: for the late lamented Larry Chapell, for Russell Blackburne, Sll.OOO: for Ping Bodie. 58.000; for Bobbie Koth, and for Rollie Zeider, bunion and all, This is an incomplete list.

If the whole truth were known the amount probably would total more than $200,000. And if it were not for some up-to-the-present- minute unexplained vagary on the part of Connie Mack we could add $60.000 to Comiskey's player expense account. That's what Comiskey offered Mack for Old-Slam 'em-Out-Baker. Foreijin Drivers Grab Prizes. Yankee drivers have given up any they may have about easy picking's in the big American auto races.

The war. which caused so many of the crack French drivers to enlist, raised the hopes of American drivers that American prize money would be captured by themselves. But their hopes were vain for the foreign drivers have just kept coming-. In the last three big races, Dario Resta, the Anglo-Italian, has copped first prize in two and second in the other. This is a country of easy money for foreign drivers.

In the last two years, the Europeans have won $124,000, or more than halif of the purses strung up by the speedway, promoters at Indianapolis and Chicago. Jules Goux, the dare-devil Frenchman, started it by taking the Indiana 500-mile the Indianapolis speedway in 1913. ZHiring the same year four other pilots crossed the water and when thev got through they had a total of $26,500 out of $50,000 hung up. The following year was even more profitable. Thev gobbled nearly everv- thingr.

Fully four-ftfths of the $50,000 Indianapolis speedway purse was taken away by the foreigners. Rene Thomas, another death daring Frenchman, made the big haul. He got 3:0,000. This year was merely a repetition of the former-years. Resta -was over the line first in the "Vanderbilt cup race- at For this he received S12.500, and he took another $10,000 at Indianapolis for second place.

He crowned all his efforts br winning the Chicago derby, smashing all 200. 300, 400 and 500-mile records, and winning ft prize of $23,000. --AND THE WORST IS YET'TO COME This makes a total of Kcsta lias won this year. And he Is not through yet. Today In Fistic Annals.

JS93--Joe Mandot, French-American lightweight, born at New Orleans. The baker boy has an excellent ring record, and, although he has been decisively beaten several times, he lias come back and has lately made an excellent showing. In 1913 the Crescent City boy looked like a goner, for Leach Cross knocked him out in New Orleans and a few months later he was poun.lcd to a pulp and knocked out "on his feet" by Bud Anderson at Ycrnon. After a rest of several months Joe began another campaign and he has been fairly successful. Last September he outslueeed and outboxed Ad Wolgast in a ten-round rookus at Milwaukee, and a little later he got the decision over his old enemy.

Senor Joe Rivers, and a draw with Johnny Kllbane, the featherweight champion. The little Frenchman stands 6 feet 6 inches and has been boxing since 1DOS, beginning his career as a featherweight. 1901--Eddie Hanlon knocked out Joe Ryan in the second round at San Fian- cisco. 1911 Harry Wuest stopped M'ke Schreck in three rounds at Cincinnati. Bill Donovan Discovered Cobb.

You can't blame Bill Donovan if he shows signs of irritation at times when he sits on the bench and Ty Cobb, one of his old and respected friends and pupils, Ty Cobbing it for the Detroit Tigers very much at the expense of Bill's own hopeful Yankees. True, it is part of Ty's regular business to suppress the Yankees at every opportunity, and he has lost but few opportunities this year, but Bill can't help seeing his own hand in his own undoing, writes Fred Van Ness in the New York Globe. Probably you would feel the same way about it if you gone out into the tall rushes of baseball and found a young man, who later into the greatest player in the game, and then in the course of time genius to knock the'prdps from fliider a perfectly honorable and honest ambition to get into the ftrst division. All of which lends up to the point of this story-' which is tha.t Bill Donovan discovered Ty Cobb ten years ago. and having done so is now forced by circumstances to be an eye witness to the par- tial destruction of his hopes by the subject of his discovery.

We mention the discovery of Cobb by Donovan at the risk of inviting an iirgu- inent. for it is well known that the discovery of Cobb has been claimed by numerous persons In buseball. It hits been claimed with all the fluency of men who suddenly dlncover that they discovered something they didn't know they had discovered until It ripened and attracted public attention. But. as both Bill and Ty admit Bill's hand' in Ty's fate there doesn't seem to be much question on that point.

Home one else would no doubt have discovered Cobb very soon but Bill discovered him first, which, as Peary said, was the thing: that counted. As matter of fact, Cobb went to Detroit as part -payment for the privilege of having the Detroit Tigers train at Augusta. Ga. The Tigers picked out Augusta as a training camp in the spring of 1905, when Bill Armour was manager of the club. It was understood at the time they went there that for so honoring Augusta the Tigers were to have their pick of any of the local ball players.

Cobb right field and second ba.se against the Tigers in the. exhibition games at Augusta that spring, but did not show exceptional ability. Clyde Bn- gel, who later went to the Boston Red Sox, was with Augusta that year and he was then a polished ball player. Armour decided to call for the Augusta player about midseason and was strong for Engel. He asked Donovan what he thought about it and Bill told him to take Cobb.

Bill had been impressed with Cobb's speed and grace and thought he would make a good player with more experience. Donovan made it so strong that Armour selected Cobb, and Frank Navin has never had any reason to regret that he got Cobb instead of Engel. Cobb dil not get into the game much during that season, but he become a regular the following year. It not until 1907, when-Hughey Jennings had taken charge- of the club, that Cobb developed into so great a hitter. Bill and Ty have always been great friends.

"They talk about other ball players, but Cobb Is so much betler than any other man in the game that there is no comparison, in -my mind," said Bill. Hetmanek "Calls" Roller. Dr. Roller's claim that he once defeated Joe Stecher has inspired a sharp denial from F. Hetmanek.
