,??? call him "Dixie" Sothoren, this smart pitcherof the St. Louis Brownies, and Dixie is'alt'Dixiewhen it comes to being a smart hurler, as heserved up an assortment of twisters at the Floridaavenue bailiwick yesterday that just had the Na¬tionals at his mercy throughout the battle, andthe Mound City crew copped oft the second gameof the series by 3 to a

From a fan's standpoint, "Dixie" was the entireshojr, although he was aided over some of therough spots by brilliant fielding. There is an old

»staying in baseball that you cannot hit what you cannot see, and theGriffmen could not see what "Dixie" had camouflaged behind thatgfcrve. Sometimes a spitter, then a sharp-breaking curve, and thenagain when they were not watching this "Southern .fellow" wouldslip over a fast one that simply had the hired men of the localtribe baffled."Even though thl» same "Dixie"'!

MAJOR LEAGUESSAFE THIS YEARHerrmann, of National Com¬mission Fame, Does NotThink Baseball WÜ1 Blow.Atlante City. July T.-Garry Herr¬

mann, chairman of the NationalBaseball Commission, who I« here forthe annual convention of the Elk«,laid »side th» business of the brother¬hood for a few minutes to discussbaseball'« predicament in the work orf.glit order.Garry wa« In an optimistic mood

and not for » moment would he ad¬mit that the major leagues are Indanger. Commenting on the recentaction of the Dalla« e xemptlonboard. In ordering two minor leagueplayers to seek work In an essentialline or be placed In Class 1, hevirtually admitted, however, that Inso far as the minor leagues are con¬cerned Ihe outlook ia very gloomy.He then proceeded to explain the dif¬ference between the status of themajors and that of the minors.

.'It must be remembered," he said,"thai according to the working ofthe draft law a man cannot be re¬moved from a deferred class andplaced In Class 1 for engaging In «ao-called nonesscntial occupationwhen to change his work entails a

great financial hardshir» In the caseof these two men and other minorleaguers it must batpe-eonsidered thattheir salaries are ornali, »nd It 1»patent that their earning capacity Ina more essential Industry would beequal If not greater than theirbaseball stipend."On the other hand It Is equally

certain that a major league playerwould be subjected to severe Unsocialhardship if called upon to give up aline of work netting him anywherefrom MOO to 1800 a month to go intosa mething which would pay him farless."There Is a certain routine to be¬

gone through before a definite ru" luIs reached. The ? atter will be ·»?pealed if an adverse ruling I« niailety a local laoard o:a a test case Itwill lie cairletl to the President Ifnee.il be. and all these things taketime.

INDIAN BAND_-!_

That's What Balance of theLeague Thinks of «Cleve¬

land Redskins.There la an old »aylng In baseball

that the club In the lead of a leagueJuly 4 wiU be in the lead at the endof the «eason.

The 'fule I» rather distorted, but Itremain« baseball history that the club'in the lead by the middle of July Isusually th« club which collect« «t thewire.On July 4 the Cleveland club won

two game· from St. Loul« while Boa-ton and. New York were breeJtingeven and moved into first placed.With the Cleveland club there are

more ressorts than the old time-hon¬ored belief about the Fourth that theclub will be out In front in Octoberand that Ohio will «e« It« first worldeerie«.Considering the fact that the club

went Into Ihe lead with Tria Speaker,the leading- hitter, in» a batting alumpwhich volplaned hi· hatting averagedown under the .MO »nark at one Urns.that Jack Orane?, the regalar »un-

Bcldcr and one of the best lead-offmen In the league has .been out of thegeme precttrelly all season »nd thatth« Initial sack has only been satis¬factorily filled within the laat fewweek· Cleveland's ability to butt Itsway Into the league lead at this timeIs truly remarkable.For many weeks I have heard teli-

player» on several of the AmericanLeague club« predict that th« clubwhich could beat out the Tanks wouldwin the pennant. Clark Grlfflth »aidit and »aid he would have the clubto do It. Members of the Red Soxsaid the Bams thing, adding that theBoston outfit would be the one whichcould beat tbe Yanks.One of the smartest player, of the

White Sox «lied up the Yank« aa themoat dangerous club In the leegue.Right now It look» like a nlp-and-

turk race to the wire between theIndiana and Yank«, providing, otcourse, that the Crowder order andthe draft do not ruin both club« be¬tör· October.The Indians «re a well balanced

club In every respect with the excep¬tion of a rather erratic pitching staff.Jim Dunn, the owner, haa been try¬

ing to improve thia department by aJudicious purchase, but ha« been un¬able to find anyone In the league whocared to pert with any of his avail¬able material.The infield I« one of the fastest In

the league since the first base situa¬tion has been solved with Doc John¬ston. The outfield, with Graney.Speaker and Roth, la the clasa of theleague. O'Neill has only one rivalas a catcher.The Indian·* ability to keep up

ahead will depend upon the sort ofpitching Fohl can set from Coveleskie.Bagby, Morton, Coumbe. Groom andEnsman. Coveleskie has been unfor¬tunate all year, but ha» pitched won¬derful ball. Bagby and Morton havebeen erratic. Groom has -Just begunto «how his best form and Ensman lashowing well for a recruit. Coumbe.the lone southpaw pitcher on the club,has been one of the mainstays.The uncertainty of Bagby «nd

Morton 1« now Lee Fohl'· biggestproblem.

LEAGUE WANTSOWN SERIES

Decision Should Be ReachedBetween Clubs Before

Title Is at Stake.The Independent baseball game« and

those that hare been governed In the

paat few year» by tbe Amateur Asso¬ciation have never kicked into tbe¦ame league, and from present out¬look it doe« not appear that they »rillcome together thl» season.About a month ago the president» of

th· trio of organizations and mana¬

gers of the pennant-contending teams

were approached by a representativeof this paper in reference to play¬ing off a championship serie» to de¬cide the Issue aad all wer» in favorof such a proposition.The three league» »re well organised

and have been carrying the brunt ofthe burden from an amateur stand¬point during the Bast few week«, andIt I« no more tnan right than theyshould be allowed to settle the Issueof league champion» among them-.elvea. ,

If the Independent team» delire to

settle the question »s to which clubla the rightful champion let a aerie·be arranged among this Independentbody and it guessing right goes foranything, the winner of the tri-lea«rueseries Is sure to accept the challengeof the club that 1» recognised tn theIndependent circles a» the title win¬ner.To pick »uch-»nd-»urh a club to en¬

ter a series Is what Washingtonhaa done in the past for »matearbaseball and the best w»y around thisissue is to allow both the organisedleague» »nd Independent team» to »et¬ile their dntputes »nd then one great»nd grand punch to see which Is best.

The N»vy Tard League along withthe Kavy inter-bureau League haa al¬ready given It» approval to enter a

eerie» for the league amateur cham¬pionship, while the DepartmentalLeague also desires to enter such aseries but the District is without it»Amateur Association thl» year, due tothe big war and it appear« that some

one should step forward to lead theway. A aerie» among both classe« ofteams Is the only logical way to »et-tle the controversy.
