THE WINNIPEG TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, JULY 21, 1914 SPORT- All the Live News of the Day -SPORT MAROONS KEEP LEAD I BY BEATING CANUCKS 1 Visitors From Head of Lake Start I Another Ninth Inning Rally, I But Fall Short by One Run, 1 Winnipeg Wining 4 to 3 1 1 their first appearance here the Fort William Canucks dis- i played a decided penchant for last i inning rallies. Last night, in the opening of a four-game series at River park, the visitors from the head of the lake started on their It old tricks, but they only pushed 1 across one run and Winnipeg took the contest 4 to 3. 1 Fort William would never have been 1 In the running In the closing round 1 hud It not been for a wild throw by Baidy Altermhtt, which gave Chief" House a two-base life. Dougan whiffed the first two batters that faced him in the ninth, but Altermatt's er ror placed him In a trying position, particularly as Wise, sneaked a lucky lilt back of short. TEXAS LEAGUER HELPS i On Wlse'i Texas leaguer.

House tal- lied, Chapman prolonged the rally by singling past second buse, Tacke just reached the bail. Kramer had a chance to tie up with a single, but he lifted a fly to Tacke. Fort Willinm secured a one-run lead In the first Inning when Dougan hit Llzzette and Fortman and Dcitne singled. Fortraan showed poor Judg-, ment in his base running, trying to steal third while Dougan held the ball. He was thrown out, but on the same kind of a play DeRose stole second.

I This kind of base running probahly 2 explains why Fort William has not won more ball games. In the third the visitors Increased I their lead to two on Thomas' single, his stolen base und Fort man's single. MIX HITS WITH LI CK The Maroons did not get around circuit until the ivurth when, with a Judicious mixture of hits and luck, they tallied three runs Curtis opened tho inning by flying to Fortman, but Kirkham slashed the ball to left. Thomas tried to make a hair-raising catch, but the ball (tot away from him 0 and Kirkham sprinted for third. It was very daring running, but the throw was a trifle off the bag and Kirk reached It safely.

Swalm singled to right, seorln- Kirkham, and Calhoun follow ed with another one base hit to Mouse. The Indian made a perfect throw to third to catch Swalm, but the sun ap-, parently Interfered with Wise's view and he dropped the ball. Altermatt's tingle to left scored both Swalm and 1 Calhoun. GIFT IX FIFTH The Maroons' fourth and last run was a gift pyre and simple. The start came in the fifth Inning when Kramer made a.

bar! toss on Wilkes' grounder. Tacke sacrificed and Curtis went out, Foster to Lizr.ctte. Kirkham bounced I a grounder straight at Fortman, but the Fort William second sacker let It slip through him and Wilkes easily scored. Fort William was not dangerous .) again until the ninth, when, as related I previously, one runwaa chalked up. Today the clubs are playing two games, at 3 and 6.15.

After tomorrow evening's contest the teams go to Fort William for four games.

He Isn't tising the spitter to any great extent, but is working in a bail that palls and breaks something on the order of the knuckle ball, but not exactly the same.

BOSTON RED SOX BUY HDBLITZEL I Cincinnati's Star First Baseman i Is Transferred to American League Dick Hoblltzel. first baseman of the Cincinnati Reds, one cf the stars in his poslton, a grand batsman, good base-runner and splendid fielder, has been purchased by the Hoston Red Sox. for a price said to be In excess of In the Internal trouble that devel-; oped among the Reds, Hoblltzel, it is said, was lined up in opposition to Her-log, perhaps, as many believe, because Herzog was made manager when he himself he should be considered.

Waivers were asked on Hordit-zel dnally and then as quickly recalled when It was found that certain clubs were after As Cincinnati could not afford ti strenethen other National league clubs and it became literally imposslbln to become the purchaser, the Rd Sox bid was ultimately considered. President Pan Johnson using his influence to save Hoblltzel from the ar-1 regard Li.r.r.n f'T h's and towards organized bail. IS GREAT STAR AGAIN Z2r 'Here is the latest por- 'jf trait of Roger Presnahan Of and the bear cub mascot 3 i cf the Chicago Cubs. The -1 4 1 1 Cubs haven't had a bear 1 since the old champion- ff ship days and this joung- i ster Is expected to bring a flav to Chicago. JF (.

A A-. hs' yCSv 1 Roger Breshanan h.xa urnished one of the real big surprises of the season. A year ago the scribes were predicting the speedy decline of the rather corpulent Ctll catcher, but he has fooled them all and it is doubtful If he ever hus had as good a ear behind the bat as this one. From ptar of the mrsk and protector with the Giants, Hreshanan, sent to manage St. Louis in a league deal, did so much for the Cardinals that when be came to the Cubs it was naturally noised around that Johnny Evers would not be alono in managing the team.

It is even true that Preshnahan kept out of the gamo because Jimmy Archer was holding down the lob nt the pl.Tte, tried hard enough to have a place In the management. Roger was continually picking Ever's pinch hitters for him. and whether or not Johnny accepted his Judgment, it waB quite irritating for the latter. "Who are ynu pitching today. Roger?" was a common query from the bleachers, and Johnny did not like it a bit.

It is probably true that friction resulted. When Hreshnahan did get In the game he didn't show any of the old ahillty that made him famous. He was continually letting In runs by passed bafTs, throwing wild to second and even ailed to ehow much ith the stick. Hut this working under Hank O'Pay, It's dilTerent. Presnahan himself Is different.

Ho is not tho fat, Blow-moving giant that hrf was. It's a thinner and quicker Roger that is doing the bulk of the catching for the fast-climbing Cubs during the prolonged absence of Jimmy Archer, who was badly injured. Breshnahan is a greater star than he ever was. He put in the off season training down, and now weighs less than ho ever did. That, twenty pounds off Roger has done much to help the Cubs.

But tho creater quention of harmony between O'Pay and Presnahan. who by paft performances has the right to believe himself a better manager than O'Day. ULSTER AND BENS PLAY 3RD TIE Teams Will Meet For Fourth Time in Connaught Cup Series Ulster end Ben Nevis met again last evening at the Stadium grounds In tho play off of their Connaught cup game, but for the third time the teams failed to arrive at a decision, darkness ending the game when the score was 2 all. Ben Nevis, with a little luck might have emerged with vfctory last evening, but the finishing of the forwards was feeble, and their shooting wide cf the mark. In the outfield they had most of the play, hut the Ulster defense was In its best form, the Thompson brothcra playing a strong game at back.

Ulster opened the scoring through Gorman in the first half, which closed with th? Irishmen leading by the sole tally. Shortly after the restart, W. Henderson beat McMeckin for the equalizer, but Ulster drew again ahead about half-way through the period, when btat Eudie. Two minutes later liens evened up, W. 'Henderson again being responsible.

Lena held the upper hand until the end. corner after corner falling to their lot with no result, the forwards failing in front of the goal. Jimmy Dunrunson referecd, the teams lining up as follows: Hen Nevis Hadie; Jackson and Lynch; Henderson, Hurt and Strange; ilson. Irvine, Henderson, Jones and Ward rope. Ulster McMeekin; Thompson and Thompson; Kerr, I'eattie and Salmon, Wright Gorman, McConnell, Goudie and McDowell.

Championship Event At the Country Club The annual championship at the Country club has been slowly drawing to a close, but owing to the numerous rains and the warm weather, threa of the four flights have still to be decided. The following is the result up to date: First flight Larkln or vs. Few ler. Second flight Bennett. Third flight Richards or ret.TS vs.

Hargrafr. Fourth flight Vollans vs. Scott. i i The Fighting Instinct "It is odd what effect a blow sometimes will have," remarked Eddie San-try, the reared iioxer. "A fellow will take a mauling get all beaten up and not feel much hurt.

Again a little wallop on a nerve will put him on queer street. 1 "I remember one time I was sparring with Red Jim Franey, the clever little fellow who was killed In a ring on the coast. We were training at West Baden and were boxing for fun. In a clinch he jabbed me lightly somewhere Just behind the ear, and lower down. It was not much of a punch and did not hurt but it must have affected my eyes.

Franey suddenly commenced to grow. He got bigger and bigger until he was a giant. "As he grew he turned black, all excepting his head which seemed on fire. I saw him coining and began to fight for my life and a minute later I came out of It as Franey yelled at me to cut out the rough work and quit trying to kill him." Vic. -Wanderers and 'Pegs Clash Again The Vic-Wanderers play the Winnl-pegs In an intermediate lacrosse fixture at the Stadium this evening and hope to again secure.

the long end of the score. Last night the Junior Vies disposed of the Winnipeg and are out in front in this class, while on Friday night the Juveniles play the steedv and clever Norquay team to decide the championship. It looks like a big season for the Harding club. MAJOR LEAGUE RECORDS NATIONAL LEAGUE I W. L.

I Should they fail In their attempt it will be no fault of the Grace church I men, who, in anticipation of their western rl p. are hard at practice on a matting wicket and mnklng a very good showing on It. i Between now and July 28, when they leave for Winnipeg, playing a match at Chicago en route, they will play two good games, one with Toronto and the other with Rosedale, the match with the latter club taking place on the day of their departure, when Rose- dale may be relied upon to give them a strong team to do battle with.

A win by Grace church at Winnipeg means that the final match of the sea- son for the Canadian cricket eham- iijj" pionship will be played nt Toronto. If they lose, then McGill club, of Montreal, will go west In iiest of the cup a and strive to transfer the championship to the headquarters of the Canadian Cricket association. In a practice game last week with Toronto. Grace church, in "5 minutes, hit up U0 runs for the loss of four Toronto made IM1 Tor three wickets. Each man batted 19 minutes.

COMMENT I (By Hugh S. Fullerton) A Chicago girl jumped out of a third storv window and alighted on a policeman; which may account for Graw's ucl; in baseball. No, Ar.gie, Homer Baker, the N.Y.A. C. si i inn is not the same as the Athletics Laker who makes 'em.

It is great to be a game loser, but game lexers havo. no medals to show their trandchihlren. Charles Weeghman, of the Chicago Feds, entertained a thousnnd Germans and tieated tnem to grape Juice which, we opine, is no good way to boost business. Fred Mollwitz was correct. O'Day must have had it in for him to swap him to Cincinnati prior to August.

Among those who were ftt the station when Walidi came back were F. Chance and friends. They did not cheer. We are reminded by about 30 Constant leaders that tno Cubs need a derrick to lift them Into the National league race. George Stallings sympathizes with the (lies and mosquitoes he knows is to have everyone swatting him.

About the only jun Joe Birmingham has these da is when ho reads that the Austin team lost 27 games in a row. Where are the fellows who rapped Ping Bodie so industriously? Ping must, be impruvlng. The Irish are claiming him. Anxious: Yes, we recall Steve O'-Donnell. He was the other fellow Peter Maher knocked out.

We are not familiar with Georges Carpentier's fistic skill but It Is evident that, he is learning the game. He has taken on Young Ahearu. Poop Into the past Forty days ago Jim Gilmore announced that In forty organized baseball would meet Its Waterloo. Don't blame those fellows who tosB-ed a man into Bubbly Creek. Chicaeo block Yards.

Perhaps they thought he was a baseball magnate and warueil to give him a chance to gel his hands clean. Admiral Pillsbury calculates that tho Gulf stream flows sO.Ou.OOn.no'j tons of water per hour. What grand estimator of baseball attendance) his ads would make. The Boston Globe wants to know what a Halcyon day is!" One on which both me teams win. of course.

Pmpire Fred Newton, of Berryvllle, N.Y., writes for a decision on a play that came up In a game between Pallas and Berryvllle teams on July 4 It's too tough for me eo I pass It along. The score was 9 to 7 in favor of Pallas In the final half, of the eighth inning, two out and two men on bases, when Centre Fielder or Berryvllle, came to bat. He hit a high fly and the ball seemed to bo failing back of third base hen it struck a tissue paper balloon broke through the paper and fell inside. The balloon collapsed and as it descended Shortstop Lucas of Pallas ran out onto foul ground under it. The ball rolled out of the wreckage of the balloon and struck Lucas' hands foul ground.

It had been In the tire of the balloon torch and was so hot Lucas dropped It. What was the proper decision? SHOULD COLOR PLAYERS? Son of Ethiopia Criticizes Action cf Vinnipcg Amateur Baseball League The following letter is self-explanatory: 1 sporting Editor, Tribune. fcMr. In a recent issue of The Tribune there appeared a notice evidently inserted by the Winnipeg Amateur Baseball association, that hereafter no colored players would be allowed to take part in any of their league games. Now this Is a downright shame.

There as no reason given for debarring i those players, so it will be taken fori granted that it Is cvlor alone that I prompted "our promoters of clean sport'' to give out this decision. Now, I I am a playing member of the above association, and I have seen games in which colored players participated, andj can assure you that they were far' ahead of some of our so-called hite I Iayers in every part of the game, and i much hiter than most of them In their attitude towards their opponents. It is I quite evident that It wan-their love of sport that induced them to take part in our games, and not the reception re- ceived at the hands of our players, for some of tho epithets hurled at those beys from the si line hy both play- er.s arid fans could riot be appreciated by any human being. Is this furl play? Another incident of the same nature 'took place at the exhibition athletic! 'meet, where some of our crack athletes presenting the W.N.K.A A. and the Y.M.C.A.

refused to compete with Arrm i Howard in one of the events. If Arm Howard was good enough to represent Canada at the oiymj ic g.tmes at Swe-i d--n lie is good enough to compete with jany ('an olian.
