FAST FIELDING CHECKS NAPS' RALLIES AND ATHLETICS WIN PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 29. Bush and Mitchell had a pitching duel here this afternoon, Philadelphia defeating Cleveland by 2 to 1. The winning run was scored In the ninth inning on Collins' single, Baker's sacrifice and Mclnnis' single.

Mclnnis, Collins and Barry checked Cleveland rallies by sensational fielding. Score: ON AND OFF THE FIELD By JAMES JESPE. GOLF By trading Jap Barbeau and Alan 1909.

The Pirate chief seems to be in the same rut with McGraw who has been badly stung in his last two swaps with Cincinnati. Both McGraw and Clarke have been trading with the abandon and recklessness of a Clark Griffith and with about the same results. In the last two years Clarke has lost the following players in trades: TOMMY LEACH, outlived his usefulness as a Pirate, but Is playing great ball for the Cubs. BOBiiv BTRXE, "batting- .297 for the Phillies and playing a great game at second base. HOWARD CAJIXrrz, pitching good ball for Pittsburgh Federal League Club.

RI.BE ROnivsoV. a great left-handed pitcher but of little service to the Cardinals this year because of arm trouble.

ARTIE BITIER, filling in nicely as utility man for St. Louis, but batting only .193. We can't include Cozy Dolan as he was secured for Byrne and Camnitz in the above list. By' his trades Clarke made the following acquisitions as his club now stands: ED KOXETt'IlV, a great first baseman but below his form In Pittsburgh. BOU JL1RMOX, a first-class right-handed pitcher who loses games for Pittsburgh by the score of 1 to 0.

The two named are the only ones left of the players Clarke secured in his trades. Artie Hofman. King Cole, Cozy Dolan, and Mike Mowrey are all gone. A1 TIE the Independent baseball clubs of Western Pennsylvania and Kastern Ohio today as fast as thone of a decade ago? This is a question which is being asked quite frequently among those who have followed the fortunes of this kind of ball. The reply is invariably to the contrary- A decade ago there were managers at the heads of clubs who were wise players and leaders, for in those days there were not so many leagues as are to be found now, and there were not the large num- rT teams as is liii: tttcc the player who held a regular Job had to be above the ordinary, wherea.

m(Pt any kind of player can hold a job touay. Ten ycars ago Martv Hogan had a club you'nsstowii. which would outclass dubs of today: the old Homestead L. A. with Heavy Torrey-son.

Bill Marshall, Lew Moren and others would outclass any of the present ones. Frank Haller end Milt Montgomery played on the Waynesburg club together, Haller being manager and later Mont gomery taking and they had a club wnicn toi, McKim's club in Braddock, too, was a niKn.clas9 organization. The Pittsburgh CoIieam5 with their crack pitching staff hitters as Tom Uptegraff, Alex McCracken. Sunny Price and otners would have little trouble tearing Hiroutrh the best of the present clubs. The managers of a decade ago knew Hat.nil than do those in charge and is little room to refute this statement.

Totals IS 2 6 27 15 The Xational League club3 have all had their ups and downs this season and the luck has shifted from one to the other in a peculiar manner.

Every club in the league has had a protracted winning streak and a losing streak to balance. The Braves, now on the Giants' coat-tails, dropped about 20 games out of 25 early in the season, while the Pirates, now far to the rear, were winning; 15 out of The Phillies and Dodgers started at a fine clip, but have dropped big- blocks of games since. The Keds. Cubs, Pirates. Phillies and Cardinals all have suffered losing streaks and have enjoyed long stretches of sow istence today.

In the section named there is not a team stronger and which plays any better ball than that at Cumberland, Md. Charlie McBride has a real good team in St Marys, Pa. BrookvHle, Xew Bethiehem and a few others up to Low Grade are playing bang up ball. The Ridgway club was late getting started, but is winning nowdays. Manager Brown thinks he has the best club on the independent circuit at Greenville, and he has grounds for presuming such.

Toronto has one of the very best teams in Kastern Ohio and hits as well as any to be found in independent ball. The killing of Sunday ball in West Virginia caused more than one good club to disband. Franklin, Oil City and Grove City has been furnished high-class ball by teams made up mostly of local talent. The three Pittsburgh teams on the circuit have shown their usual strength, Pittsburgh Athletic, Lawrenceville and Pittsburgh Collegians. Mike Kelly, manager of the Lawrenceville club, is now city weighmaster and pays but little attention to the same.

The Collegians today have a corking good club, and Walter Knglehardt, a month or so ago, shifted his lineup for the purpose of developing some men for next year, and the new. combination started to win. He has high hopes for next year. Already managers are mapping out programs for next year, and it would not be much of a surprise to learn of a new circuit being formed with clubs nearer Pittsburgh in it. More interest would be manifested in the games, it ha3 been pointed out.

A busy season is ahead for the golf devotees, there being a number of important tournaments arranged. The rain during the last few days proved beneficial to' the courses. As" a result of the prolonged dry spell they were hard and baked, but the Tain freshened them, and vesterday afternoon they were in better condition than they have been for many weeks. The eyes of golfdora will be centered upon the annual United States championship tournament, which opens at ttie Kkwanok Country Club.

When it comes to selecting a course chamiMitnuhir, ment the Oakmont Country Club course will be considered, and It is not uniiKeiy that the amateur title will be determined here in 115. The last two national tour- naments have been decided in the F.ast and the tournament is a iom it i go West nexi i a I Mc.n and New York, being a night's ride from either nr ti. iTlaces. and the selection of Oakmont would be a popular one.

The putting greens ur in fine shane. and will be better n-vt season. Whether or not an effort will be made to bring the tournament here next year has not yet been decided upon, though it is being agitated In some quarters. If the Oakmont people want the tournament there is little question but that it can be brought here.

Much Interest is being displayed by the local golfers in the coming invitation tournament which will be conducted next month by the Sharon Country Club. This will be the first tournament on the fall schedule. The tournament will open on September 10. when the qualifying round will be played. The elimination rounds will be started the following day and the tinals will be reached September The Sharon course is one of the finest in Western Pennsvlvanla.

Quite a num ber of 1'ittsburghers already have signi tied their intention to enter the tourna nient. i i i 1 i victories. The Giants really prove an had a winning streak to amount to anything unless their six straight victories! late in July can be rated as a splurge.

But neither did the Giants have any losing streak until lately, which accounts for their being in the lead. Coach Buff Will Take Big Squad to AViudbcr Wednes day Morning.

The camp squad will likely be weeded down to about 35 after the first week, wnich will give Duff a good working squad. The squad will have three full weeks practice in the mountains and should go into the opening game with Cornell at Ithaca September i'S in tip-top condition. Duff has a big lot of veterans left over from last year Who are familiar with his style of play and with, them as a nucleus he is expected to develop a fine team. Fourteen of the 18 letter men of 1913 are reporting to camp this week. In addition to these 14.

No doubt there will be a struggle, the upshot of which in the years to come will And baseball commercialized and its standard as a sport lowered to such an extent that the magnates of the three leagues will hardly make enough money to supply oil for rusted turnstiles. The Feds have an equal right to the field, but let no one imagine for a moment that they are in the game to improve its standard or help the players. The Federals have now gone so far that they cannot back out, and In Justice to them it must be said that they have shown no Intention of doing so. But peace or no peace, three major leagues will never be operated to the degree of satisfaction with which two were conducted. The main reason for this is that material enough cannot be found to maintain the major standard in two circuits, let alone three.

Again, the presence of three leagues will so Involve baseball dope and interest that the public wlll4grow weary of It all, and especially so will there be annoying confusion for fans if the war of Salary boosting and jumping of players continues. Nevertheless the Federals have given the magnates of O. B. something to think about. In their first real year they have done remarkably well.

So well, in fact, that organized ball is intrenched behind Its money bags to wage the bitterest war of its history next winter. The Federal League nas purposely demoralised discipline In the two major leagues by affording refuge for men of the Mai sans and Chase stripe. In short he Feds stand ready to reward treachery like that of Marians who threw own his employers when the Reds were within a game or so of first place and the management for once was making money.

Umpire Harblg. FLETCHER IS BECOMING A STEADY SHORTSTOP Art Fletcher, the Giants' shortstop, has played a wonderful game this year. Always a brilliant fielder he ruined his chance for being ranked anions the "shortstop by pulling some wild, erratic play at the critical moment. But this year he- has stead-led down, and is the main support of the Giants infield. On at least six separate occasions.

Fletcher, by marvelous steps and throws has cut off hits that meant runs for the opposition the games, too. It is figured that Fletcher, bv making seemingly Impossible plays, has saved at least six games. On this basis were It not tor Fletcher, the Giants long ago would have been overhauled by the Cubs and Car- Ldinals. Racing for Junction Park. Secretary M.
