The New York Herald Says: Baseball prognostigators who last spring selectéd Boston the city to entertain next October America's "fans" are beginning to realize com- plete" satisfaction in their early pre- dictions. From the recent trend of events In major league circles, there seems about to descend upon the rest of the nation a deluge of Hubbite base hits and victories, with the Red Sox in: the Amgrican league and Braved in the rival organization once again enjoying a triumphant entry into the anual classic of the nation- al pastime. Just at present William Carrigan's world champion Red Sox have only a slight lead over several struggling, fighting combinations and the Braves have still to climb to the top rung; but close followers of the game can see greater strength, better spirit and a clearer right to the ultimate honors in the two Boston outfits than in any other aggregation in the chase. Boston seems about ready to hog the world's series, something that has not fallen to any ene city since 1906 when the Cubs and White Sox fought it out for the highest baseball hon- ors. There seems litle hope for the other American League clubs, inas- much as the Red Sox climbed to the lead away from home and while on foreign shores. Any club that can wrest the laurels from a rival while fighting in that rival's own back yard exhibits a victorious aim that univer- sally is recognized. The Red Sox took the league lead away from the Chicago White Sox, and did it at Comiskey Park with thousands of Chicagoans urging on the Chicago club and none supporting Boston. . STILL ANOTHER TRACK. Sam Holman to Open New Half-Miler At Montreal. Montreal will have still another one-half mile race tratk in full op- eration in a few days. Sam Holman, general manager of the King Edward half-mile and Dorval one-mile race sixteen years," said fe Plank, when called to task the other day for stepping off the rubber before delivering the ball. Eddie's way is unique, however, as well as tire- some, in that he usually drags a game over two hours. His endless delays fret the batters and amuse the fans. The former Mackman's routine in delivery is ap- proximately as follows; Hitches belt, adjusts cap,- walks back to box in half circle, faces bat- ter and stretches arms, steps on rub- ber with left foot and taps right foot to ground eight times when ball is delivered to batter, tucks in shirt with every third ball pitched, gazes into sky over third base on every called bali, dislodges imaginary p-b- bles in pitcher's box every time bat- ter has three balls and one strike, or three and two. DIBBLE IS READY To Race the New United States Sculling Champion. News of the defeat of" John B. Kelly, the Philadelphia sculler, who was looked on as a prosective op- ponent for Lieut. Bob Dibble, was re- ceived from Duluth with much in- terest and some surprise. . The new champion, Thomas Rooney, of the Ravenswood oBat Club of Brooklyn, will be just as welcome, if he is will- ing to 'meet the Canadian champion. Nat Scholes, who is looking after the preparation of Dibble, said: "We hardly expected that Kelly would not retain his title, but what we want to decide is the best amateur sculler in America, and if Rooney is the United States champion we will be very glad if he can accommodate Dibble with a race over a mile and a half course, Kempenfeldt Bay, at Barrie, is the After Eddie Plank's comeback it looks as if John L.
