JENNINGS, Baseball teams of the major leagues have now settled down to the grinding pace, wherein the weak will be separated from the strong, and the stake entries will be found out with the "platers" and also shown up. From this point on, the chase becomes one of daily struggles, with none of the entries able to relax and the pace setters set upon by a vicious, ripping, tearing, smashing collection of trained to the minute athletes, all of whom are ready to go to any means to bring back the leaders and annex for themselves the job of show- ing the way. From now on it will be an easy matter to determine whether or not the Yankees and Dodgers, present pace setters in their respective leagues; possess the winning spirit. It will be plainly shown, and quickly too, whether or not the adherents of the Yankees and Dodger cause can feel optimistic or pessimistic. In a few weeks the Yankees and Dodgers will either have stamped themselves warriors worthy of worship or else just "quarter horses," able to gallop into an early lead, but without heart enough to stay in front once chal- lenged by real opposition. 4,, Browns and Reds Out. There are some who still hope that 'the St. Louis Browns and-the Cincin- nati Reds will make themselves known, but only once in a decade does a team overcome a poor early start and go out in front. It seems a certainty that the Browns and Reds are to be dubbed second divi- sioners. "Connie" Mack's misfit collection of collegians and semi-professionals are miles out of their class. The club since its disintegration has been a disgrace to major league baseball, Possessing one or two high-salaried stars, the owners of the Athletics have been content to fill the rest of the positions with men who will work for mere pittances, and consequently are far from the ability needed to make even an impression in big league baseball. Having eliminated two teams in the Americin League and one in the National, there remains thirteen or- ganizations still with fight in them, and still pounding along in the thick of the race. Some of these are wob- bling and beginning to tire, while others seem to have regained a' "second wind" and are just beginning to make the race interesting. In the American League Boston and Chicago have come out of the ruck, moved up to a threatening po- sition, and are making the Yankees know that there are to be several ar- | Jack illn is Tacitum | a s If Julius Caesar, who had a predi- lection for sleek, fat men who slept 0' nights, could have seen Jack Dil- lon, he might have become very un- easy, for not even the "lean and hun- gry Cassius' had a look more solemn- ly taciturn, more ostentatiously sul- len than the Indiana pugilist. Notoriety he shuns as he would the plague, and familiarity on the part of strangers he resents with a cold, steely stare and short, incisive replies calculated to abruptly curtail any ex- tended conversation. Except to members of his training and managerial staff and some of hig warm personal friends in Indiana, Dillon is harder to reach socially than a cabinet official. Even in his ring appearance he maintains a cold, forbidding demea- nor that is in sharp contrast with the majority of boxers who court popu- lar favor. In response to the hearti- est applause Dillon bows distantly, and when waiting for the bell he looks fixedly at the floor. This he varies by an occasional scowl at his prospective victim. But the instant the gong brings him to the centre of the ring he at once shows great interest in the situation, and espe- cially in the man facing him. This interest soon takes the form of de- moniac fury expressed in a series of cyclonic attacks. The Hoosier never loses this eager interest in his opponent while the lat- ter is on his feet, and once the bell sounds the close of the last round Dillon retreats behind his look of scowling discontent and disappears from the ring. The Dillon smile can be compared to one thing only, and that is' the cheerless glint of a' December sun on the side of an iceberg. And there are only two things that will bring that cold grin to the Dillon counte- nance. One is when he sees an op- ponent giving signals of impending surrender and the other is when his antagonist delivers blows that startle the Bearcat out of his customary con dition of gloomy indifference. BOLT KILLED TROTTERS. Three Thoroughbreds Lost Their Lives at Yonkers. A lightning bolt killed three thor- oughbreds at the Empire City track at Yonkers, besides causing fright among the spectators bx shattering the flagpole on the grandstand and damaging the stand. The bolt drove through the barn where the Belmont and Butler strings =| were stabled, killing August Bel- mont's two-year-olds Cockleshell and Nancy Fair, and injuring the Butler three-year-old Variety so badly it had to be destroyed. Red Sox Were Victorious. Bunched hits at critical moments, coupled with errors, enabled the Ha- vana Red Sox, Watertown, N.Y, to defeat Ryans 14 to 10 in a weird guments before the finish-line is reached. Chifhgo of late has been getting better in pitching and bat- ting. The players have regained their confidence and are willing to talk about a pennant. The club is fighting mad, seeking fight and will- ing to combat any of the opposition. In this condition the Donovanites can kep a sharp lookout in the direction of Chicago or else something decid- edly unpl nt will happen. The cr on champion Boston Red Sox are not beaten, by a long ways. The team is contesting every step of the way, and is working so valiantly that its efforts are beginning to bear fruit. Boston, with a great pitch- ing staff and earnest workers, must be counted as a contender. For that -- THIS IS PROMINENT FEATURE OF PRESENT SEASON, Leaders Are Close To, It They Have Not Equalled Figures Made For Entire Playing Period of 1915, Heavy extra base the leading batters of has been a prominent present season. Notwithstanding the fact that a considerable percent- age of the scheduled games to date have been postponed, the leaders in the extra base divisions are close to, if they have not already equalled the figures made for the entire playing period of 1915. The latest compilations show that in the American League, Graney, of Cleveland, leads in two-base drives with a total of twenty-four, whereas he collected but twenty during the entire.season a year ago.

The Pitching Hall of Fame The pitching hall of fame, in which are inscribed the names of those notables who have twirled no- hit games, had its beginning so far as professional ball is concerned, just 40 years ago last Saturday. It was on the fifteenth of July, 1876, the first year of the National League, that George W, Bradley, of the St. Louis club, held the Hartford team hitless, and so re Joe Mann®of Princeton, in a contest with Yale. Not only were the Hart- ford lads unable to get a single hit off Bradley's delivery, but they didn't even get a man on first base, Bradley, the pioneer of the more than four-score twirlers who have since pitched no-hit games in the big leagues, was the whole pitching staf: of the Mound City club in 1876. Thanks largely to Bradley's superior box work, St. Louis finished third in thé National League race in 1876-- higher than it has ever climbed since except in 1914, when the Cards again reached the third rung from the top of the ladder. ; Bradley joined "Cap" Anson's club in Chicago in 1877, and afterwards played with the National League clubs of Troy and Providence, but he never repeated the feat that won for him the premier niche in the hall of pitching immortals.
