J 1. JENNINGS, King Street | td ~~ Would You Like to Have a | Bicycle }in the National and IN THE AMERICAN AND NATION- AL LEAGUES, -- 2 Six Clubs Have: Chance for Bunting in the American, While Three Are Selected in the National. With only about a month to go American Base- ball gues, there is one nd scramble among at least six teams in the American League for first place, while in the-National the fight Seems to have narrowed down to Brooklyn, Boston and Philadelphia, with still an outside chance for the New York Giants, In the -American League Boston Red Sox are still leading the pro- cession, but their margin over CH cago, Cleveland, Detroit, St. Louis and New York is so small that a couple of games would easily change, the whole complexion of the situa-' tion. Boston Red Sox, despite their loss of the great and only Speaker, manage to keep out in front. = They have a grand pitching staff in Leon- ard, Shore, Ruth, Foster and several other lessér lights, while Hooper and Lewis are batting in the "form they displayed during the last two years. Ruth has been very effective in the last two weeks in the box, and the world's champions will take a lot of beating. Chicago White Sox, with grand aggregation of ball including a wonderful pitching talent, are now showing their real worth, and while they have been a disappointment for a couple of years are liable to come through. Cleveland has slumped a little, their players, array of and the other teams are improving, | but they manage to hang around, and aided by good pitching and the | wonderful batting of Speaker, are | still in third position. Detroit are still able to slug out | enough games to keep them in the | race, and "Ty" Cobb is gaining on Speaker's batting average every day. The Tiger pitchers are doing better | now, and if they can keep up the good | work a good bet is to. "Watch the Tigers." | New York, despite the crippled condition of the team, have won five | out of their last six games, and there | is little doubt that Shocker, the ex- | Leaf twirler, will be a big asset to them in the last month. If the Yan- kees get several of théir cripples in | line look out for them. St. Louis, by their magnificent spurt, in 'which they won 23 out of| league this month. Clever pitching | by the veteran Eddie Plank has had | a lot to do with their success, and | "Fielder" Jones is some manager. Washington do not look to have | the goods and Clark Griffith is busy | getting rid of some of his veterans. | Walter Johnson still pitches good | ball, but does not win as often as he did, and the Senators will be | lucky if they finish in the first di-| vision. The once great Philadelphia Ath-| letics are now only a stepping stone! for the other teams in the American. | Every one of the other seven clubs | welcome a series with "Connie! Mack's aggregation, as they general- | ly result in a big upward climb for | their opponents. | Brooklyn: are going along nicely | in the National, although they did! drop two in Pittsburgh on Saturday. | They are a steady if not brilliant | lot of players, - and pitching staff and ter in the league, are sure to be there or theréj at the finish. Boston .Braves are still a good bet, | and they.are keeping pace with the| leaders, even when Evers was out | of the game. They are strong all] the way through, and have in Man- | ager Stallings a man who is sure to get the results if they are-to be had. | Any club that has a pitcher like | Grover Alexander is* bound to be| there or thereabouts at the finish, | the champion twirler is keeping | st year's title holders strictly in| the race. They also have a couple] of other better than average twirl- ers in Demaree and Rixey. New York Giants have been and] are still a disappointment. With the| addition of Herzog they improved | for a few days, but they slid back in| the same old rut. "Benny" Kauff,| the Federal League king, is not com- ing up to -expectations, and has! slumped badly. . Chicago Cubs are on the backward | trend, while St. Louis and Cinecin-| nati do not look to "have a chance. | Pittsburgh are not doing so badly,! owing to the good work of Mamaux and Cooper and the hitting of the veteran Wagner. NOT LI The N.H.A. May Call Off Schedule | Next Winter, } The Ottawa Journal says: It ap-| pears right now as if there will be liftle or no pro hockey naxt winter, | at leas| as far as the N.M.A. is con-| cerned. Not only is sentiment against | it. but the d't!erent club owners of the National - Hockey Association seem to 'feel ti.at it would be for the best to call things off until after the war. Such a move they think would help the game instead of injuring it. With 1 very large percentage of the professional! players enlisted and with nexcly all of the amitcu~ play- ers in khaki as well as the young fel- lows who are the big patrons of the sport, it appaars on surface that the best mo.: would be to call it off. However, thee directly interested should be a'vare. of tha conditions better than any one, and there is Iittle doubt but that they 'will do what is "est. | | KELY TO OPERATE. Jap Player "Sick of Tennis." Ichya Kumagae, the Japanese ten- nis star, and William M. Johnston, the American champion, whom Ku- magae gefeated last week at New- port, probably. will not take part in the Meadcw Club's tourney at South- ampton, L.I. Johnston wants to rest 25 games, has been the talk of the | - | crack baseball player, | persuasion she allowed herself to be , | pressed into service. | alds were even at the time ahead of | at Stockholm in 1912. before the beginning of the national tourney next week, and Kamagae has declared himsel! slek of tennis, SOCIETY APPROVES PROMOTING BOXING Gives Its Stamp of Approval to This Sport in Aus- tralia. why Not only is boxing one of the chief | \iforms of sport in Australia, but in addition it has society's stamp of ap- proval.' The bouts attracp governors, judges and prime ministers. In the City of Brisbane the smallest covered by Baker's string of stadiums (its population is about 150,000 to Syd- ney's 763,000), the stadium is the re- gular scene of charity shows organiz- ed by society dames. es The last non-fighting function held there was a kindergarten shivoo in aid of a babies' creche. The Lieut.- Governor and his wife, the mayor and mayoress,the Cabinet ministers and their spouses and all the butterfly damsels of Brisbane swarmed round the ring. The youngsters of the creche and the institutional schools were toted to and fro in the show in the automobiles of the wealthy Bris- baneites, The policy of identifying the stali- | ums with all charitable and patriotic movements is steadily followed by Snowy Baker. He has associated himself now with the 'theatrical rulers, Hugh J. Ward and Hugh D. McIntosh, in his hig schemes intend- ed to raise $500,000 for the comforts funds of Australian regiments of all arms, Every regiment has such-a fund, managed mainly by sweethearts and wives; it sends socks, cigarettes, newspapers, and all miscellanies to | the boys of the battalions and bri- gades. The theatre and stadium magnates will offer matinees and organize carnival weeks till the half million dollars are duly provided for the fighting men. The adaptations of Sydney stadium will be made for these carnivals. The huge building can accommodate horseback events and will be fitted for high jumping. and hunting dis- plays, with pony jinker races, and so on, and a great tank will be built for swimming events. Snowy Baker is also preparing plans for the use of part of the stadium as a physical- culture studio on a big scale, LADY BALL PLAYER CREATES SENSATION Played Second Base for Mont- real Amateur Team When Player Hurt. D. H. Lady. An event which created quite a sensation in the Spalding Baseball League, and whi® is unique of its Sort, took place on Saturday after- noon on Fletcher's Field, Montreal. The Emeralds and Opals, of the Knickerbocker Spalding League, were playing a game upon which the championship depended, when in the eighth inning Mooney; of the Emeralds, fell and badly dislocated his ankle, He was playing second base, i As luck would have it, Miss Aphes Vautier, captain of the Western La- dies' Hockey Club, champions of the | Eastern. League, and some other young ladies were playing basketball in another part of the field, and someone told the Emerald manager that Miss Vautier, who is probably | the best all round amateur Sportswoman in Montreal, was lady a The the Opals in the scoring. Miss Vautier acquitted herself magnificently, - and one particular catch which she made of a ball thrown to her from the home plate caused the crowd that had gathered | to see this young lady play with the boys to applaud her long and loudly. The Emeralds kept their lead and increased it, and wan by a score of 16 to 9, which gives them the cham- pionship. DREW PARALYZED. Negro Champion Sprinter Will Never Run Again, Howard Drew, negro sprinter and holder of the world's record for the hundred yard dash, has probably run his last race. Drew is laid up at Los Angeles, Cal, with paralysis, brought on when he strained himself in the century dash of a meet at'San Diego, Saturday. His left side is affected due to a dislocated verte- .brae. Drew was a member of the Ameri- can Olympic team which won games He was for- merly a student at Springfield, Mass., High 'School, but of late has been at- | tending the University of Southern California. Drew. holds the records of 9 3-5 seconds for the 100-yards and has equalled, the record of 21 1-5 for the 220-yards. meme Saas coin JPATRIOTIC RUGBY LEAGUE Is Being Suggested by Pporting Men in Ottawa. In lieu of the Interprovincial Foot- ball Union, which is not likely th op- |* erate this fall, Ottawa football men are suggesting the formation "of a Patriotic League to be carried on among four teams organized in that city. The suggestion is made that all 'the eligible Ottawa players of last year, including those im" khaki and civilians, be distributed among four teams, and the ranks filled with younger players drawn from New Ed- inburghs, St. Patricks, and Collegi- ates. Joe Bi Resigns, Joe Birmingham has resigned as manager of the Toronto Club. This action €ime a3 a compteie surprise to President McCaffery and the "wo- ers of the club. Birmingham had a contract a¢ player-manager, which he could not fulfill owing to an injury which he met with last spring. No successor has been appointed or even conside ed, but one of the piayers, probably Blackburne, will ba aaced ir 'euporary charge, | o So after much | Emer- | A gathered four |.

Bobby Veach, of the Tigers, had a field day against 'the Athletics. He made three hits jn four times up, scored three runs, stole two bases, and registered a put out on his only | chance during the game. | -- | Pitcher A. Mamaux, the star of | the Pittsburgh pitching staff, is un- der suspension for breaking the training rules. His suspension is for ten days. ] The Brooklyn . Dodgers are en- | deavoring to complete a deal with | Pittsburgh for the service of Pitcher | A. Mamaux. | "Gabby" Cravath, the Philly out- fielder, is no longer a star, and Man- ager Moran is endeavoring to com- plete a<deal for his transfer to Los Angeles for Wolter, the former New York Yankee player. | Outfielder Ralph Heatley, of the Tulsa Club, has been sold to the | Atetics. : Kid Gleason js slated to succeed Rowland 'as the mahager of the Chi- cago White Sox. That the Chicago Cub§ Wil con- {sider trading Heine Zimmerman, |slugging third sacker, if they can: get | a good offer, is admitted by Manager Joe Tinker, who declares he will take {the matter up with Owner Charles Weeghman, Tinker said the Boston Braves want Zimmerman, but refuse to say what they will give. They want Tinker to make the proposi- tion. Johnny Evers says he is "off" the newspapers. When the newspapers | get "off" Evers, John may find him- self looking for a job. Though he is managing in Cinein- nati, Matty continues to write "in- side" stories of the National League. Judging from the standing, the Reds are on the outside looking in, Heinie Groh, as the Reds' third- sacker, was generally conceded to be about the best man at that position in the National League. Now that he has been shifted to second base he is putting up a brand of ball that { stamps him as being close to the best second baseman in the circuit. Groh is a power on both the attack and the defence, and his work is very | consistent, The Detroit Tigers have been | booked for an exhibition game with | the Leafs at Toronto on Friday, Sep- | tember 1st. If the Toronto club are | wise they will insist on the appear- | ance of the Tiger regulars, including | Veach, Bush, Crawford, Cobb, Vitt | and the rest Local fans would like {to have another peek at "Red" Me- | Kee, too. The Boston Red Sox were [there recently with a fair team, but Scott, Hooper and others of the regu- {lars 'were absentees. Janvrin and | Barry perpetrated some "monkey- [ shines around second base that might very well have been omifted. - \ The Pittsburg club have sold In [fielder Joe Schultz, the former To- jronto player," to the ,Los Angeles [| Club, of the Pacific Coast League. Schultz will report to the club at once. v Pitcher Davis, the strong man, re- ported to the Grays from the Boston | 'Braves yesterday, Davis, who is a colleégian, twirled a one-hit game for the Braves two years ago.

The Cubs have offered to trade Zimmerman to the Braves for Short- stop Maranville, Manager Lee Rohl of the Cleveland team, while figuring that Cleveland {is not yet out of the rade, declares that the Boston Red Sox are a much stronger team than the Chicago White Sox. Boston, according to { Fohl, has the strongest defensive | team in the league. TOOQ 20 MEN TO SALONIKA. The Giants continue to move in!"
