Glazier, heaved them over against the Oaks during the remainder of the game and was touched up for six runs and 12 hits.' The work of the Beavers was very ' sluggish. Ernie Alten, late of the Detroit Tigers, south pawed against the Beavers, and although nine hits were collected off. his delivery, he kept them pretty well scat tered, an error and a wild pitch, being - partly responsible for the first counter scored by the Mackmen. Alten has the earmarks of a rood pitcher. He has . an exceedingly puzzling cross-fire and has good control. Prior to the start of the game, the players of both teams and the small sized crowd stood with bared heads out of respect to the memory of Ray Chapman. The players lined up around the home plate. - j, SILLER MAKES HOMER ) Brubaker . and WUie led the ' attack gainst the Beavers, each getting four bingles, Brubaker being at bat five times and Wilie six. ; "Hack" Miller's homer Into the left field bleachers, whicH scored WUie and Brubaker,, was the blow that killed Sutherland. Knight stopped a wide one with his back and Lane doubled to left center. Guisto cracked a board high on the left field fence, putting over the two runners. This gave the Oaka five runs and caused the exit of $uds. i The Oaks put over their final run fn the ninth. Oakland added two more in the third. . after falling to stage a triple steal in the second. Quisto's single, Alten's double and WHle's second hit being re sponsible for the tallies. Two, doubles, a single, a base on balls and a sacrifice fly gave Oakland three in the eighth. Cox's walk. Koehler's hit, Lane's boot and a wild pitch gave the Beavers their first run in the second, and hits by Mai eel, Cox. Spranger and Ross In the sixth cored the second tally.

I i "BABE" RUTH'S CHAPTER SIX THERE'S one thing In . baseball that always gets ray goat, and, that'r the Intentional pass. - It isn't i fair to the batter. It - Isn t fair to his club. It's a yaw deal for the fans and it isnt baseball. By 'base ball -.r mean good, square American sportsmanship, because baseball repre sents America in sport. If we get down to unfair advantage In our national game we are putting out a mighty bad advertisement.. - " - : This year the rule makers gave us a new law. which was intended to prevent pitchers "from intentionally passing heavy hitters ; in order- to get to the next batter;for an out or? perhaps, a double play.: -But the rule hasn't worked because the' umpires, being human, can not tell teyond a . doubt whether the pitcher is merely wild or la heaving the ball -wide with the clear intention of passing the slugger. - . MAT TRY TO CLBAIT-UP During this season, . when it was seen thai pitchers were continuing to ; pass the . heavy hitters when there were men on bases, many other rules were sug gested. Some of them will be consid ered, . I suppose, when the big" guns of the game , meet next winter to make another try at : cleaning up the game. But I. : don't know it seems to me that the whole thing will depend on the um pire's ability to tell "what'a la ; the pitcher - bean. The best . suggestion that I've heard is "this: that all passes be for two' bases Instead' of ' one. Get this situation: there are men on second and third "and a heavy hitter is' up. Under this . seaaon'a rule the pitcher is in are easy position', because all he's grot to do is to make a disgusted face as he sends each wide one up the lane td give the umpire the Impression that he's trying to cut a corner off the pan. The batter walks and the next -man up, who may not be so strong with the old pick, handle, ; pops to the infield. . . He may hit into a double play, perhaps re tiring the side without a run. And there yon are.' v - ' -i-'w. .- Tha heavy swatter has been about as useful, as a cork leg to a Broadway chorus girl. - If - he'd had a -chance to clout the ball ' he ' might have won the game. And that's what the fans came there to see him try. Do you wonder they ran the twirlers .every now and then? OBBS AGAIXST BATTER Every time a batter faces a pitcher the natural odds are about seven to three against him.-- You can .prove this Dy taxing a look at the batting aver ages, which ' show that the hitter with a percentage of .300 for mora than 10 games is an exceptional man with the stick. Scouts go wild over .300 hitters. a. team oi .3uu sluggers would be a good bet to win a pennant, fielding with one arm tied. However you look at it the pitcher has it on the batter by. more than two to one. Why should he look for a bigger cinch than that ; what more does (he want? - ; :- ' The victim of the Intentional pass hasn't a Chinaman's chance to hit. But if you give him two bases or if you advance all runners1 two bases Instead of one, you've got your pitcher in box; he's rot to pitch. - .. Just to show you how this pass busi ness, works. X was walked 101 times in the season of 191S. And this season they're doing even worse. Do you think the ' intentional pass 'rule " is working overtime this year? Neither do-1 ! In our recent series in St. Louis I came np With two men on bases, " and the ball game was in my bat. I always feel like a home run, so I felt as thousrh I could knock in three runs and the ball out into Grand avenue. ' What happened? I walked. Three raizing sneers for the Intentional pass rule !

Encore sneers. t A ball club goes into the onen market and buys a heavy hitter, and they're cneap t&ese days, with the Idea of having- htm win ball games In pinches Just like those ' I've described. You know the fanshold their breaths when a slugger cpmes up to bat. with the game on the bags. The fans want to see- an honest test betwieen the pitcher ana the hitter. . Even if jthe slugger be longa to the visiting team, the rooters would prefer to have htm go down the line to a square conclusion with their pjtcher. I have noticed this in every park on the circuit. The St. Louis fans themselves booed their 'pitcher for not pitching- baseball, and one of the city's newspapers came out with a headline which said. Pay a Dollar to See Babe Ruth Walk," , or something- like that. When, you're playing this . passing game you're not playing the fans game- CROWDS TURNED AAAY- iWhen " Murderers Hor .started ', mur dering the ball at the Polo grounds this season, ail the glorious j old attendance records went blooey, -Time after time the Yankees have drawn record break ing crowds, both at home and, on the road, because they were hitting home runs.

This means an average of 26,400. at leach gamer Of course, some of the crowds were larger than this last figure. . because , we . had two Saturdays and two Sundays in that period. On Saturday. July 24, when we played Cleveland, there were 40,000 peo ple packed in the stands' and nearly half that many were turned j away from the gates by the police, There wasn't a seat left anywhere on the lot.

Bellevinsr this, I never gave an Intentional pt in all- my life, even though the manager signaled for one from the bench., Any batter who thought he had more in Uis club . than I had on the ball was wel come to sten right" up and take a fair swing at fair pitching. , He had a chance to win his ball game. And if he walked he knew it was because I could not find the plate. I wut doing my best. -' , .- ..,';. r Of course, on every - ball - team there are men whose playing skill lies in the field, and 5 who- are carried along On that account although their managers know them to be weak at the bat. With Rome of these fellows, "waiting for a walk" Is good business and. hua become a j science. Little fellows particularly are hard for some pitchers to serve and they - are likely to draw pannes. x As a rule they lead off with the idea of getting to first, no matter how. Thi-t is good, fair baseball,- because If a pitcher cannot" find the plate and put a fast one over it - the batter , deserves something for his Judgment. But, have you ever noticed how often these weak hitters get in the hole with two strikes and one ball and have to swing at the next? The pitcher doesn't seem to have so much trouble finding the plate against the boys who usually pop to the infield as he docs against the home run getters.' Next year. 1 hope, and I know you hope with me. that . we wlH have an effective way to compel the moundsmen to play the game. I leave it to the fans whether the intentional pas was meant to be a part of the grand old ball game. Those loud boos whenever a slugger is passed are answer enough. TRANSPORTATION - aiiiBE a. .
