Baseball's most exclusive frater
nity admitted its third member
since tne turn of the century to
day Muster Melvin Ott of the
Giants.

Athletics or a decade ano, us the
only thrre who have hit more
than 51X1 limners in a lifetime.
Roar of Approval
Number 5110 came up for Man
ager Ott of tho Giants last night
and it was an occasion to remem
ber. It has been a rocky year
for Ott. who as manager of the
Giants shared some of the blame
for the team's colossal collapse
after a brilliant start that enabk'd
it to take a seven-game lead. If
he had any misgivings over how
he stands with the Polo Grounds
faithful they should have been
dissipated with the roar that
greeted his historic circuit of the
base paths
The homer came off Johnny
Hutchings of the Hraves in the
third inning ard nelped to Hunch
a !) to 2 victory
Carroll (Whitey) l.oclsman also
delivered a Giant homer as Hill
Kmmerich did a seven inning
lief stint to gain the victory. It
was Boston's Uth loss in 17
games.
Cubs Lou
The winning streak of the Chi
cago Cubs imied at six when big
Max Butcher of the Pirates best
ed Claudo Hasseau in a I to 0
duel. Ed Colman drove in the
only tun in the seventh with a
double after Jim Russell singkd.
Butcher p.rmiltod only four hits.
The Cardinals regained second
plats five games behind the Cubs
with a 15 to 3 victory over the
Reds at St. Louis. Four Cincin
nati pitchers were
mckeH for I'J !
hits including a grand slam hunt'
cr by Johnny Hopp. Marty Mar
ion got his first hom.T.
Fiv Homers
Detroit sc?ied four runs in the
ninth to win a wild uphill fight
with the Browns, 9 to 8. A base
clearinj double by Roy Cull-.'n-bine
brought in three runs and
an error by Vernon Stephens per
mitted him to steam home with
the winning run. Hank Green
berg. Eddie Mayo and Rudy York
hit Tiger homers and Lou Finney
and Gene Moore connected with
homers for St. Louis. Finney's

Thursday. August 2, 1915
Today's Sport Parade
By CARL LUNDQUIST
NEW YORK. Aug 2 (L'Pl 1
Without any intent to rush a fel-1
low who can file a strong claim
to being the busiest man in Anier
ica these days, it appears that th-j
time has come for defense trans
portation director J. Monroe
Johnson to say once and for all
if the world series can be played.
Up to now there has not been
the slightest doubt in the mind of
any ball player that somehow the
annual classic will start on sched
ule in October. Nor have the club
owners expressed any concern in
the matter, lending the general
impression no one took the edict
of Johnson seriously.
Can't Say
With August, the major league
i races reach the showdown stage
and the players on contending
teams are developing a strong cu
rosity over whether they are play
ing for fun or fund.
Without a H'.'ld ones there
can't be an fat player cuts for
the pennant winning teams and
the lesser shares for the membeis
of -the other six first division
squads. If thv players begin to
have their doubts the series will
be played, there is likely to be a
noticeable let down.
Perhaps Johnson isn't in a po
sition to say even conditionally
whether the transportation crisis
will be eased sufficiently to play
the series two months from now
But what has been most puzzling
from the start was his green
light for a one-city series. Actu-
allv the principal objection to
playiny the world series was not
in the transportation required fot'
the two teams and the minimum
of officials necessary to stage it.
Fans Worst
What caused the most concern
was the fact that despite restric
tions on railroad tickets, thou
sands of fans would find a way
to travel by train to see the clas- j
sic. That possibility would exist !
even more if the series were in a
single city than if it were in two
since the fans would have the
bigger attraction of seeing from
four to seven games, whereas if
it wore split between two towns
they couldn't see more than two
to four games.

troit Tigers from being the world
series opponents. The cities are
about five hours apart and are
connected by train routes that
are off the transcontinental main
lines. Even with full squads and
with team officials there would
not be more than 50 members of
each club traveling. And only at
the middle of the series when the
teams changed playing sites would
it be necessary for both teams
to travel at once.
Other Doubts
Meanwhile, as the clubs go
through the late stages of the
pennant races there are 16 ma
jor league teams and 30 to 40
minor leagues using trains and
other common carriers to com
plete their schedules. Hence, so
far as baseball itself is concerned,
traveling required for the series
would be a smal- percentage of
that now sanctioned.
A.,h.,.. fii,- n. :t..,r w i-hu if
the world series is to be cancel-!
lecf, national tournaments such ;s
the annual semi-pro show -:t
Wichita. Kan., are allowed o go
on. It would be a shame if the
Wichita tournament, which ha
done so much to stimulate base
ball at its very roots, should have
to be a war casualty. Vet it U
doub'.fu! whether its promote-,
colorful Ray Dumont, would want
it to go on if the major league
huv were cancelled.
The navy wants the world ser
ies teams in the Pacific; G I s all
owr the world want the games to
he played somehow, somewhere.
It would seem the next move is
up to Johnson. After that u may
be anybody's jump.

that Borowy's Bloomfield, N. J.,
