Willie Kamm. Seal third baseman,
purchased by the Chicago White
Sox for lloo.Oon, was beaned by
Pitcher Myers of Salt Iiake, in the
third inning; of today's same while
his mother looked on from the
srands. San Francisco won to 1.
The ball which struck Kamm was
wide of the plate and as he dodged
to avoid it he was hit on the aide
of the head. He was out for a few
moments, but quickly revived and
was taken to the clubhouse. After
the game it was said he, had suf

he will likely not play for several
days.
San Francisco had little difficul

team made eight hits, the Seals got
the breaks and McWeeney struck

Q. Runner on third base. Batter hits
to short. Runner beats the ball to plate.
Would this be called a sacrifice?
A. No. The runner got home on a
fielder's choice. presuming of course
that the batter could be put out at first
base. If he could not have been caught
at first it would be a base hit.
Q. Bases sre full and batter hits an
infield fly. Runner on third goes right
along home and scores. Bail is thrown
to third after second baseman catches
it. Was runner out?
A. Yes, unless he touched third base
after the fly was caught.
Q. In a local game the pitched balked
in throwing to second but the batter was
not allowed to go to first base. Was that
right ?
A. It was. The batter never goes to
first on a balk.
Q. Runner on first and the batter hits
the ball. Shortstop picks It up and
throws to second but the second base
man drops the ball. The runner keeps
right on for third. Does he have to be
touched out after he passes second?
A. yes.
Q. Runner on first and batter gets
base on balls. Catcher thinks he will
fool batter and holds the ball. then
throws over first. Can the batter keep
on going and the runner, also?
A. They may make ail the bases they
can. The ball is in play ail the time.

NEW TORK. Aug. 10. New Tork
Giants on April 1 showed offensive
strength of 6914 points and defen
sive strength of 4819. Today their
strength on offensive was 6931 and
defense 4745 points.
This" National league, ratio ap
pears to have reached a point where
it is a contest to decide which team
Is the "least worst." After studying
the St. Louis Cardinals and discov
ering they have lost heavily in de
fensive strength since the start of
the season, I supposed, of course,
the Giants would show a lead in the
sheer dope on team strength. In
stead, I discovered the Giants, while
gaining a few meager points In at
tacking power, have lost almost as
much defensive strength as the
Cardinals.
The dope in March proved that the
Cards were a little stronger but that
the strength was so divided that the
Giants figured to win more garots.
The same figuring still applies
simply because conditions and the
schedule are heavily in favor of Mc
Graw's team.
Giants Ought to Win.
Unless we discover, when we
study those on-rushing Pirates, that
they have strength enough to over
come the handicap of four and a half
games, and a harder schedule, the
Giants ought to win out finally
not because of their own strength,
but because of the weaknesses of
opposing teams.
.True, we are forced at this stage
o figure the Giants in the fldst of
the worst slump they have had this
season. It Is not a hard thing to
dope good ball players and discover
what they will do, nor is it difficult
to figure just what a bad player
will do. But in the case of the
Giants "we find the fioorer men
playing fair ball, in fact, a trifle
l etter than the dope indicated they
would, and Bancroft and Groh, who
were figured tQ add much strength
to the team, losing the ball games.
f Strategry Is Rotten.
The Giants' strength, according to
all the dope. Was in its "million dol
lar" infield, and its much-touted
Beneralship. When the much
praised infield plays amateurish
ball, and Is shown up by a bunch of
bushers and coast leaguers, and
when the generallship looks like
much of the barnyard variety and
jjames are thrown away by the most
wretched guessing, it is hard to fig
ure eventualities. In face, were It
r.ot for the fact hat the Giants have
always rallied when they were
tHarmed enough to work hard, St.
Louis would have no more hopes.
The Giants .in their present form,
will be lucky to finish ahead of
Pittsburg, the team which appears
to be playing the best ball in the
National league. The last three
games the Giants have lost in suc
cession were thrown away by brain
less -defensive work mostly in the
infield. I saw Cincinnati win one
game from them by base running
attacks which caught the Giants
unawares and made them look fool
ish. In that same game, with ' one
run needed to tie,, men on first and
second and none out Meusel was
ordere dto hit the first ball and hit
into a duble play.
McGraw la Aroused.
If they will not play the game.
they cannot win. However, judging
from remarks and comments made
by John McGraw regarding his team.
some one will start playing ball
soon or get out.
The study of the dope, as com
pared with that of April 1. shows
the Giants have gained a few points
at first base, have made a slight
gain at second, due to Frisch's trans
fer there, and have lost quite heav
ily both at short and third.
Vhile I have not gone into the
dope figures, it seems probable that
the team would be stronger with
Rawlings at second and Frisch at
third than with Groh at third.
Heine is not playing up to his
standard or the standard that was
credited him and his temperament
does not appear to fit the McGraw
system.
The shocking thing, however. Is
revealed in the showing of Davey
Bancroft. The study of this sea
son's dope reveals the fact that not
only has Bancroft lost more games
than he has won. but that he has
lost more games through his own
work than any other member of the
team. At times he shows flashes of
his old brilliancy, but he is not
what he was, and he has been mak
ing his errors count.
- Outfield Holds Own.
The outfield more than holds its
own with the dope indications. Right
and left are strong, fast and power
ful, as they were doped to be. Center
was weak to start with and Casey
Stengel, while not a great player, is
the best they have had out there and
he is hustling and fighting hard
which some of the others are not.
The reason the Giants do not show
even heavier losses is that we dis
counted the catching and pitching
weaknesses last spring, but catch
ing shows a loss even from those.
The catching is not good, .but it is
due chiefly to the crippling of Frank
Snyder, who has been working with
a bad charlle-horae, this has made
him Blower than ever.' Smith has
not been remarkable for behavior
and is reported out of condition.
The Giants have been using bad
pitching as an alibi for their poor
showing. The study of the pitching
does not justify the charge. It was
known to be weak. It has lost some
strength because shufflin' Phil
Douglass got discouraged because j
his arm was sore, and when some- 1
one let him smell a cork he escaped
from the reservation and went o
one of his periodicals. Phil is now
repentant, as usual, and has the war
paint off. Under the circumstances
McGraw probably will forgive him
until after the world's series, th
take a ball bat to him.
McQuillan Offsets Douglass.
The loss of Douglass, however, i
made up by the acquisition of Hugh
McQuillan, who has pitched excel
lent baJl for the Giants and received
rotten support. Jess Barnes is work
ing well: Nehf, who is not the gam
est pitcher in "the world when
crowded, is doing fair work. Scot
and. V. Barnes are fair enough, con
sidering- the kind of pitching that
gets by in these days. Every othe
club in the league is complaining of
the same pitching weakness and. th
Giants really have had better twirl
ing than the dope indicated they
would have.
The flaw, just now, lies at short
and third. The carelessness of the
team 1n defensive play is astound
ing. However, if McGraw can spur
it to play to Its full strength, the
team shosrtd not be worried. It has
every advantage. The team must
rally during the western trip and
break even at least. If it does that
neither St. Louis nor Pittsburg has
a chance.
In the next article we will give
that astonishing Pirate team the
once over. Someone has shot nitro
glycerine into the team, and I want
to find out just what has started
them on this late season rampage.

Thompson Dillon Proves to Be
One of Best 2-Year-Olds De
veloped This Year.
NORTH RANDALL., Cleveland,
Aug. 10. (By the Associated Press.)
Thompson Dillon, driven by Joe
Zrill of Paoli. Pa., and David C,
driven by Ted Bunch of Denver, cap
tured today's events of the grand
circuit racing programme here
Thompson Dillon proved that he ia
one of the best 2-year-olds devel
oped this year by winning the Rainy
Day sweepstakes in straight heats.
He led the entire distance in both
heats and was the master of the sit
uation at all times. As a result of
his victory the entire purse of
$8500 went to his owner and breed
er, A. B. Cox of Paoli.
David C. won the North Randall
trotting handicap sweepstakes of
two one-mile dashes, with a value
of $7150, the first event of its kind
ever raced here. David C. was the
scratch horse. Starting at the wire
and trotting a mile, he easily cap
tured the first heat. He and Peter
Coley were the "bnly starters not to
break in going- away. Herbelwyn,
also handicapped SO feet, finished
third. Great Britton. the favorite,
which was handicapped 100 feet,
was fourth."
The second mile furnished a bet
ter heat, with the field bunched
from the back stretch clear to the
finish. Kilo Watts, handicapped 60
feet, rushed to the front and held
his advantage all the way. He was
forced to step the last quarter in
28 seconds to beat David C. by a
neck.
E. Colorado, which started 60 feet
back, was a nose behind David C.
and thebalance of the field was
close up. By virtue of his finish
first and second, David C. owned
by Brown & Sons. Colorado Springs.
Colo., was awarded the winner's
portion of the stake of $3128.
Edna Early, favorite, was the only
other horse to win straight heats.

BT ROBERT EDGREN.
'HE New York boxing commis
sion seems to be playing a lone
hand. Commissions in other states
refuse to recognize New York's
claim that a champion isn't a cham
pion unless he lets the commlssio
run hia business.
All this meddling with cham
pions and championships does n
good and causes confusion. For
few hundred years cnampionsnip
have gone with the decision or. th
referee. No two or three individuals
can change a world-wide custom.
The commission has a clear rlgn
to decide how boxing matches shall
be run, but it has no more rign
to order boxers to make certai
matches than it would have to go
to Houdini, for instance, and say
Look here! You intend to sign
season contract at tne jriippoarome.
Nothing doing! What do you mea
by trying to run your own basi
ness. huh? Now you go right now:
and sign up with K. G. Jone
cabaret at Cftney Island within 2
hours or we'l take away your right
to be called the handcuff king in
New York state, suspend you
license to give public exhibition;
and officially rule that you're a sec
ond-rater and only a cheese champ.
and not even that, ay hek;
One of the weak points of the
commission's attempt to dictat
matches to champions is that it die
tates only meetings with boxers who
challenge In New York. it was
silly to try to make Harry Greb
take a match with Rosenberger,
After seeing what old Mike Gib
bons did-to Rosenberger last year
I'll say it was more than silly. It
was almost cruel.
The New York commission at
present is composed of a pretty fair
lot of citizens. But suppose the
commission was made up as one
commission was in the past not
many years ago at that.
What a wonderful chance for
graft would be opened by assum-
ng the right to dictate what
matches must be made by cham
pions, and by holding the threat of
nnulling championships over their
eads. I ve seen one or two politi
cal gents who would rather have
the boxing commission "privilege
than own all the bridges over the
Harlem river.
The present commission is on the
level, and is trying to figure oat
some way to prevent the holding of
championships by fakers who dodge
every dangerous challenger. ' But
there may be other commissions
later, and the gentlemen now in are
establishing a dangerous precedent

An Australian promotr comes out
with a liberal offer of $100,000 to
Dempsey to fight Wills a 20-round
bout n Sydney. Australia isn't up
to date. Over there they still dream
of the "tremendous" $30,000 purse
paid Tommy Burns for fighting
Johnson. Dempsey could get more
for fighting Wills in this country
even if it was only in a short no-
decision bout. And he wouldn't
take the risk of being seasick.
Les Darcy told me, when he ar
rived from Australia, that his only
object in coming to America was to
earn some real money quickly and
send it to his family so that they'd
be left in comfort if he was killed in
the-war, as he intended to enlist in
Canada after two or three fights.
Les said the Australian promoters
had paid him so little for his many
great fights and' had Juggled the
payments so skilfully that he had
practically nothing to leave with his
mother.
"One. fight in America would give
me more money," Darcy said, "than
all the fights I ever had at home."
Poor Les was the victim of poli
tics in this country hustled about
from place to place and barred from
various rings by office holders who
hoped to gain popularity and votes
by calling him a slacker.-- Darcy
was no "slacker." He was still under
21 when he left Australia, and his
intention to go to war was genuine.
"I'll go over there and be killed,"
he said, "but I want to leave my
mother in comfort and provide for
my brothers and sisters so they can
have the education I missed. I know
I'll be killed. I'll go over to get
into the fighting and do my best,
and I'm Just the kind of a fellow
who will be killed, but that's all
right. It won't matter if my family
Is taken care of."
ments in several of which he -waa
regarded as world's middleweight
champion, amounted to less than
$5000.
No, Australia won't be able to
compete with Hoboken, Jersey- City,
Bridgeport, Canton, Toledo or any
one of 50 American towns outside of
New York in putting up a Dempsey
Wills purse.
