"My husband told me last fall he all tired out," said Mrs, Edward Colling this spring, "He threw his glove, spiked shoes and bat in a se- cluded spot in our attic and said he did't care if he saw them again.

McGraw of Giants, refused to comment on the action of the National League in handing him a public reprimand and a fine of $1000 as a result of its findings in the now famous repudia- tion case. The usually talkative leader of the Giants closed up like a clam when asked what he thought of the league's action, and Harry M, Hemp- stead, President of the Giants, had little to say beyond expressing the belief that the fine is beyond any- thing he expected. MecGraw's silence is attributed to the fact that he is somewhat stunned over the fact that his last expression of opinion concerning Governor Ten- er and the National League has cost him in the neighborhood of $100 a word. \ The $1000 fine imposed on Mec- Graw is the largest fine that has ever heen imposed on a player or manager in the history of the game. And the warning of the directors that future disturbance such as the Me- Graw case will result in suspension for the season aga minimum punish- ment is expected to "keep McGraw silent for some time to come, The punishment of the league 'has brought about something that noth- ing else could accomplish--it has put a Maxim silencer on Mr, J. J. McGraw, the New Umpire Scheme, Four umpires will preside over the world's series in October as usual, but they may operate under a new scheme. 'Formérly two of the um- pires have been assigned to guard the outfield foul posts. But this time, in addition to the umpire behind the plate, three officials may be stationed at the bases. The one at first base can watch foul bouls hit in his direc- tion. The umpire at the middle bag can devote his attention to the base runners on whom close plays are made by the second baseman or the shortstop, while the official at third base can decide, not only the plays on the runners, but also judgment on drives along the foul line in left field. Advocates of this plan say that one field judge should not look after all of the bases and that the station- ing of the umpire at the foul posts is useless, 'Jake Pitler, Pittsburgh's new sec- ond baseman, is a brilliant fielder. His speciality: is filling the role of middleman in double plays. Jack Barry's Red Sox have not been' hitting lately, but their piteh- ers have kept them within striking distance .of the White Sox. and the athletic stars have also been changing with the years, Many Can- adian champions and athletic cele- brities have gone to war and some will never return. Others have re tired for various reasons, while oth- ers-are still on deck and are still in their prime, In addition, a fresh assortment of athletic experts comes into evidence with each year with the result that sporting interest is being maintained. Another feature to the situation is that there is a variety not before the war. There are the purely military contests én which there is now general interest while many athletic endeavors for civilians now have a new flavor al- 80. Among the events which were little seen before the 'war are the tug-of-war, tent-pegginy;, marching competitions, bomb-throwing, horse- back wrestling, one-legged races and Victoria Cross dashes. seen WHITE SOX FAVORITES IN AMERICAN LEAGUE Boston Will Have to Set Fast Clip to Win_the Cham pionship. If Boston is to win the American legue pennant it will be necessary - for the club to play at a .640 clip and keep it up to the last game provided Chicago does no better than to win one more than half its re- maining games, The lead of four and a half games now held by Chicago looks exactly like a cut on the world's series, from the: average angle. Only -by the most remarkable vision is it possible to detect amything else, although it is not a forgotten point that the Red Sox are wont to take their pennants without any sauce, . % : The White Sox have twenty-seven games remaining on their schedunle Only nine of them remain to be played on the Chicago grounds, Three of these games will be played in Boston, where, in the past, they have" shown their merve by holding the Red Sox at least even. By win- ning fourteen and losing thirteen of these remaining contests it will be possible for the White Sox to finish 'with a percentage of .616. The Red Sox are booked to entangle them- selves with the opposition in thirty: three more games. If they win twenty-one of these endeavors and drop only twelve the best they will have to show for themselves will be an average of 614. [The White Sox pitching staff has just begun to re- gain form---something it lacked on the teams last eastern trip. Eddie Collins is doing something he didn't do on the last turn hit. It looks much tore favorable for the White Sox. ' » .
