Glaiser Relieves Daven
port in Seventh.
, Bjrney Burch's Western leaguers
troved a notch toward the top of
' the percentage ladder yesterday aft-
crnoon when they trounced the Jop
' fin Minors in the first game of the
si rics by the score -oi 11 to 8. One
hig inning the filth in which the
Omaha entry shoved six tallies
across, proved more than enough to
decide the is.ue.
, Manairer Hurch .-.elected long, lean
Claude Davenport to turn the Miners
hack in the wash-day attraction.
Other than ability to' get the ball
over the plate, the six-foot Buffalo
twirler had very little in a pitching
vay. At that Davenport weathered
tl rough the first six innings and is
credited with winning the game. But,
alter Cady's crew had laced his
slants for three counters in the
st ven th on two doubles, a pair of
singles and an error, he was der
ricked in favor of Mr. John Bert
Glaiser.
When it conies to relieving pitch-1
e rs, Glaiser is right there. When the
rest of the Buffalo hurlers fall down,
Burch always calls Bert to the front, i
He went to the trout yesterday, and
although it looked dark for him and
his mates in the eighth, he succeed
ed in holding the Miners in check
until the last Joplin player had his
ime at bat.
Young started for the Miners, but
, tie received - a first-class drubbing
during the four innings he faced the
romping Buffaloes. He allowed the
locals exactly six hits, of which
three were doubles.
Lingle Hits Double.
Southpaw Berger, who was trotted
ut from the bench in the seventh
stanza, was nicked for five hits, one
of these being a double by Lingle
in the fifth.
D. Williams, Joplin left fielder,
pulled the unexpected in the sixth
frame when he clouted the ball to
deep left for a fluke home run. It
happened, however, that the bags
were empty.
To "Pug" Griffin, the heavy-hitting
Buffalo right fielder, goes the
honors of collecting the most tallies
of the afternoon. The husky Omaha
slugger is credited with there times
at bat, knocking a double and single.
He walked twice and reached the
initial station once on a pass, scoring
a total of four runs.
It might also be added at this par
ticular time that Lanky Davenport
deserves a little space. It, all hap
pened in the fourth franywith the
score 2 to 1 in favor of 4(he Diggers,
"v---Griffin got a' life on an error, was
' sacrificed to second and scored from
yonder station when Davenport
stretched his long arms toward East
Omaha and sent the ball sailing for
a single.
But, when it conies to playing
Santa Claus, Ray O'Brien wins the
rubber earmuffs. This Buffalo
t played the charitable act for his
I. brethren just four times during the
1 contest. In the second his sacri
v&jre moved Griffin up to third, and
iiv'tlic fourth his second sacrifice
advanced Griffin to second, while
his third big brother act again push
ed "Pug" up a notch from first. In
the ninth. Griffin walked, took sec
ond on a passed ball and advanced'
to third on U linen s tourth sacri
fice. Fifth Is Fatal.
In the fifth the fatal fifth Young
ct joplin crumpled before the stam
peding Buffaloes. Hancy started the
frame by walking. Lee doubled to
left and Fred scored. Lelivelt swung
Irs old trusty and clouted the sphere
to right for a double, scoring Lee.
Griffin walked and then O'Brien sac
rificed, advancing Lelivelt to third
and "Pug'' to second. Massey drew
a base on balls and the bags were
chucked when Lingle poled out his
double to right, scoring Lelivelt and
Griffin. Massey advanced to third
and registered on Gislason's single
I faney walked for the second time
in the same inning and Lingle scored
on Cady's error. Lee got his second
chance in the fifth and drew a base
on balls. Lelivelt forced Haney and
the side was retired.
In the sixth Griffin singled, took
second on O'Brien's inheld out, stole
third and scored on Massey's sacri
fice to center.
The. Miners collected one in the
sixth when Williams got his homer.
The seventh was good for three more
Joplin scores when Christensen
siigled and scored on Hamilton's
-double to right. Moeller also knock
ed a two-bagger and Hamilton cross
ed the rubber. Walker singled and
Hamilton scored.
Haney Steals Another.
In the eighth the visitors attempted
to stage a rally when Christensen
reached second on Lelivelt's error."
Hamilton got a life on Lee's bobble
and Christensen advanced to third.
Mueller doubled and both Miners
scampered home.
The Buffaloes annexed their 11th
run in the eighth when Haney
singled, stole second his 25th stolen
base of the season went to third on
a sacrifice and scored on Lelivelt's
single.

Some Competition for Suzanne

MISS MARY K. BROWNE.
ITRIBUNK Photo.)
WHEN news of the coming tennis invasion of Mile. Suzanne Lcnglen
of France was cabled from Paris, upholders of American supremacy
could see no player on the horizon who seemed likely to defend our
honors successfully against the many times champion of Europe. But the
prospect of international competition and the hurry-up call for -talent which
went ringing over the tennis courts brought Miss Mary K. Browne to a
declaration she would leave her 4-year retirement in Los Angeles and play
in the big eastern tournaments to fit herself for the match with the
phenomenal French girl.
Miss Browne, who won the American women's singles title in 1912,
1913 and 1914, and retired from play at the close of the 1916 season, when
there seemed no contestant able to win from her, wiljhave company in her
role of defender, for her friend, the famous Mrs. Thomas C. (May Sutton)
Bundy. will accompany Miss Browne eastward to face the classy invader.
Miss Browne was an adept at the hard smashing, volleying game when
she retired from the courts, and late reports from California declare she
has not fallen off in her game to any extent in the retirement of the last
five years. She and Mrs. Bundy left for New York last week, preceded by
their entries for several of the important annual tournaments in New
England and around the metropolis.

One of the hardest-fought matches
of the day was between Fred Grosse

Potter of Lincoln, the former win
ning two of three sets, 4-6, 6-4, 6-2.
Potter is a veteran and the most ex

the third set, he showed an array
of pretty shots, and rushed Potter

Cub Rookie Surprises New York
By Trouncing Giants Recently
New York, July 23 (Special.)
Johnny Evers, manager of the Chi
cago Cubs, trotted out his ne-.v
pitcher, Virgil Cheeves, at the Polo
grounds some days ago, and gave
the Giants such a surprise that they
have not yet recovered their equili
brium. The Giants, evivdently, were
in ignorance of the existence of Mr,
Cheeves, and when he came out on
the mound they and their friends
gave him a reception which they
thought was funny. They omitted
the "v" from his name and dubbed
him "Cheese," "Cheese it, Virgil,"
etc. Even after Mr. Cheeves had
shot over a few good ones the
Giants continued their playful antics
and it was only after they saw the
score go glimmering that they woke
up and admitted that Virgil was
some pitcher.. The misery attendant
upon the advent of Virgil Cheeves
may be best read m the score, which
was 7 to 2, in favor of the Cubs and
the Giants were able to make only
four measly hits.
During Virgil Cheeves' reign on
the red clay throne he saw such
phosphorescent lights as Fred
Toney, Phil Douglas and Rube Ben
ton twinkle for a time and flicker
out as the lugubrious nine chapters
progressed. Toney shone brightly
for a while, but he finally became
smeared and smothered by Chicago
bats and ragged operations behind
him. Douglas and Benton were
helpless specks on a turbid horizon.
Remarks about "camembert" and
"de gorgonzola," bothered Virgil
Cheeves not at all. He was as cool
Wilson May Box
Greb Next Month
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, July 25. Harry Pyams,
the East Chicago promoter, pro
poses to put on Johnny Wilson apd
Harry Greb at the Twin City Ath
letic club arena on August 16,
weather permitting.
The champion and the Pittsburgh
bearcat will box for the tidy sum
of $30,000, and Wilson's forfeit is
already in the city. The promoters
are waiting to hear from Greb, but
they are not worrying that his check
will be missing long, for he has
been clamoring for a go with the
middleweight champion for lo, these
many moons.
This should be a regular scrap.
Wilson, who for a long time after
he won the title from Mike O'Dowd
sidestepped some of the best boys
in his division, due, he said, to ill
ness, has proved he is the cham
pion by licking O'Dowd and several
other scrappers of no mean ability.
Greb is known to pugilistic fans
as a tough customer in the ring.
For a time it was thought he might
get a chance at Georges Carpenticr,
but lorn Gibbons was selected bv
Tex Rickard to meet the Frenchman
in October.
Start fresh all over again
at the beginning ! Get a pipe
and forget every smoke ex
perience you ever had that
spilled the beans!
For a jimmy pipe, packed
brimful with Prince Albert,
will trim any degree of smoke
joy you ever registered! It's
arevelation! Youneverpuffed
such delightful, satisfying
flavor; or, such fragrance!
Why you just want to eat
the zephyry smoke it's so
fascinatingly good!
Put a pin in here! Prince
Albert can't bite your tongue
the
as the proverbial cucumber and
about as smooth. From the second
to the sixth inning the Giants looked
very much like a Bernard Shaw 50
to 1 shot, as they lay becalmed be1
fore the rampant right arm of Vir
gil Cheeves. In the sixth, after
Burns and Bancroft had slithered
into obscurity. Frank Frisch, who
had a somewhat spectacular day in
the Giants defensive department,
rammed a rollicking home run into
the lower right field stands. H
chased nobody home but himself,
however, and his foot was the last
New York pedal to leave its im
print upon the plate. 1 he tubs won
the game m the seventh when Terry
lifted a lopping single over second.
If Cheeves comes back to this
town again it is safe to say the
Giants won't bother much about his
name. As long as the Cubs are go
ing nowhere m particular, it would
look as though Evers might as well
work his youngsters in regular turn
and give them the benefit of a full
season's experience. By next season
the Cubs will prove a real peril.
Rickard Admits
Getting Film of
FighUnto N. Y.
New York, July 25. Tex Rickard,
promoter of the Dempsey-Carpen-
tier bout, and F. C. Quimby, mo
tion picture producer, today admitted
to United "States Attorney Hayward
that they had caused a film of the
fight to be brought across the state
line from New Jersey.
Mr. Hayward announced that the
frankness of the two men would not
make it necessary for him to place
the matter before the federal grand
jury. He said that he would pro
ceed against them by means of an
information charging them with a
misdemeanor, i
Mr. Hayward asserted that the
pair had intimated they would plead
guilty to violating the interstate
commerce law if such a charge were
formally brought against them. .The
maximum punishment on conviction
would be a year's imprisonment or
$1,000 fine.
