DALEY In Game Between Retailers Last Night Joe' Daley's horseshoes featured the #ame between Civil Servants and | Retailers at the ericket field last evening in which the former won out by a score of 18 to 9. They couldn't help winning for they never lost when Jimmie Kane heads the batting order. Nevertheless they had to keep moving and their eight run lead grab- bed in the second inning when Rob- inson went up in the air proved a jife-saver in the dying moments ot the game; time at bat. Then Robinson's drm went up on him and Civil Servants hammered in six or seven in a row. Clarke took the box and walked in another one before getting warmed up, After that it was a real game. Retailers copped one in the last of the second and settled down té work, Neither team scored in the third and Retailers added another in the fourth; three dn the fifth, and three more in the sixth, creeping from seven runs behind to two behind in the last of the sixth. Then Civil Ser- vants added another couple and Re- tailers went out three in a row in the Tennis Balls ! Cheaper by the dozen, Direct from England--regular 75¢. and $1.00 each.

A COSTLY AGGREGATION, Owners of Yankees Spent $300,000 for Present Team. Joe Vila writes in the New York Sun: Roger Peckinpaugh, shortstop and captain is the only member of the present New York American League team who was under contract when Frank J. Farrell sold the fr&n- chise in 1915 to Messrs. Ruppert and Huston. All of the other Yankees have been purchased from major or minor league clubs at an estimated outlay of $300,000. If the Yankees win the pennant this year Ruppert and Huston will be amply rewarded for daring enterprise and extraordin- ary liberality, In other American League cities the owners of the Yankees are charg- ed with trying to "buy a world cham- plonship team,""---a charge that also has been made against the owners of the Giants in disappointed Nation- al League strongholds--but New York baseball fans view things in a different light, and, eager to have pennant winners at the Polo Grounds, they have indorsed the policy of the rival metropolitan magnates by pass- ing through the turnstiles in record breaking numbers, Ruppert and Huston paid $130,000 for the great Babe Ruth, $50,000 for Carl Mays, $37,600 for Frank Baker, probably $20,000 to cement the deal with the Red Sox for Schang, Hoyt, McNally and Harper; $15,000 for Elmer Miller, $10,000 for Bob Meu- sel, $10,000 for Jack Quinn, $6,000 for Walter Pipp, $5,000 for Bob Shawkey and perhaps $25,000 for Ward, Collins, Hawks, Hoffmann, Ferguson and Mitchell. As baseball magnates do not make public the exact prices paid for al} of their players, these figures are based on close estimates made by well post- ed insiders. It is worthy of note that since the acquisition of Ruth and Mays, the Yankees' popularity has become greater than in former years and the profits have exceeded those of all other major league clubs in the history of the national game. Under the existing circumstances, therefore, buying star ball players, regardless of cost, seems to be a pro- fitable investment in New York city. Cobb Likely to End ? . His One-Year Contract Tyrus Cobb will not manage the Detroit Tigers next year. This has been just about settled by Cobb him- self, whether President Navin mak- es a move toward getting a new man- ager or not. Cohb signed a one-year contract, and it will take a lot of persuading on the part of Navin to induce him to continue the agree- ment, The Tigers must be completely re- built, and it is understood Cobb does not feel equal to the task and at the same time maintain his playing abil- ity. The team has fallen off in hit- ting in a year when hitting is about the cheapest thing on the market; it is weak on defence, and mediocre on the bases. The infield needs bols- tering and the pitching staff must be Improved. Without wholesale chang- es Detroit wil] be lucky to finish in the first division next year, and is practically doomed to the second div- ision this season, = Gibson First Canadian, If George Gibson, manager of the Pittsburg club, succeeds in landing the National League championship with the Pirates, as now seems ai- most a certainty, it will be the first time a Canadian has beeu manager of a team participating in a world's series. Gibson, who figured in the world series in the past as catcher for the Pittsburg: cluh. when they last won the National League championship in 1909, is a native-born Canadian, his home city being London, Ont, where he started his professional basebal] career in the old Canadian League in 1399 before he joined the Montreal team from wkich he went to the big show, ~ LITTLE BITS SHG FLOORING .

W. H. Gocher, sec- retary of the National Trotting As- sociation, in a letter to Alonzo Me- Donald, Poughkeepsie, N.Y., well known as a driver, says that he has been authorized by a track followed] to wager $5,000 that Peter Manning in 1921 will trot a mile faster than the 1.69 pacing record of Single G. Gocher says that while in Phila- delphia John C. Simpson informed him that he (McDonald) would take half the bet and that W. B. Bare- foot, owner of Single G., would take the other half. Gooher asked for suggestions as to the holder of the $10,000, and further suggests that the first 'trial heat, in the world's record attempt, be trotted at Syra- cuse, N.Y., should Peter Manning not beat 1.59 in ong of the heats against Single G. -at Hartford, Sept. 6th. --------mad Young Girl Captures Title.

But Helen just blushed and emiled her thanks when a group of young girls and grown-ups surrounded her as she left the courts where she won the nation. al title by defeating Miss Virginia Carpenter, 16 years old, of Philadel phia, 6-3, 6-3.
