Wilding, a gallant soldier and a true
gentleman. He perished In tho Darda
nelles after having distinguished himself
rot- some of Hie qualities of courage nnd
determination that had marked his tennis
career.
Another great athtete wan Lieutenant
Hulswell, aiTOIympIc hero, and tho holder
on the day he died of middle distance rec
ords. Ilouln, the greatest distance run
ner Franco ever produced, was reported
Kllcd some tlmo ago. Ho died with Urlt
Ish and French records unassalled. Ho
will bo remembered not only an a victim
of the war, but as tho man who covered
moro ground In ono hour than any other
runner nho ever heard tho pistol crack.
Germany, too, haa lost tho two great
est athletes sho over possessed, but It is
to bo admitted that Germany was never
very strong In athletes. In Itau, tho
sprinter and record holder, nnd Braun, tho
mlddlo distance runner, sho mourns tho
death of tho only two Germans who 6vcr
attained International promlnenco against
tho beat that the would could produce.
As a matter of fact, Germany has not
been as prominent In athletics as might
havo been expected of such a great coun
try. Nevertheless, she has lost temporarily
Froltzhelm nnd Krnutzo tho tennis play
era who represented her In tho last In
ternational competition. Both of them
aro prisoners of war; nnd one might men
tion half the distinguished members of
tho German tennis clubs nnd 11 nil among
them men who havo been killed, wounded
or aro prisoners of tho Allies.
Tho fact that famous athlete, have not
been figuring prominently on tho casualty
lists as havo tho nthlctes of the other na
tions Is to be cxplnlncd solely by tho fact
that German athletes havo not been too
numerous In tho pnst decade. Germany
had considered athletics to bo child's play.
Tho great gamo hns been the war game.
Golf has made her sacrifices, the most
notable being Lord Annealcy, formerly
amateur champion of Ireland. Hutchin
son, another noted nmatcur, Is reported a
prisoner, and Henderson and Atkinson
aro nmong these who gnve tholr lives for
England's cause Tho nthletcs hnve como
forward nobly, and thore Is no casualty
list that does not contain tho name of
some joung man whose chief Interest
before the war began was sport In some
of Its branches Out of 27 blues In Ox

and McCraggen, two noted Oxford men,
have laid down their lives, nnd of 133
Cambridge men who havo attained proml
nenco as sculls, only 10 have remained at

tho need of the nation, the sportsmen nnd

PRICES FOR CAVALRY
MOUNTS ARE RAISED
Major General Scott Advocates
Such a Move Sees Need of
Horses for Army.
Sportsmen generally are high in their
praise of Major General Hugh I- Scott's
recent remarks nnent tho exporting of
brood mares and tho failure of the army
to recognlzo the proper value of thorough
breds for cavalry uses. The chief of staff
of the United States Army has deplored
tho fact that a. maximum -sum for the
purchase of army mounts limits tho values
of horses to be used for'the cavalry.
II. K. Knapp, a steward of the Jockey
Club and one of the most enthusiastic
thoroughbred horso men In the country,
expressed himself aa quite willing to do
what ho could toward furthering a Gov
ernment stud for breeding cavalry
mounts.
"I feel, with Major General Scott, that
tho country Is In danger of a depletion
of Its horso market It measures are not
taken to build up tho breeding Industry
and retain the best broodmares in this
country," said Mr. Knapp. "In case of
war tho drain upon our thoroughbred re
sources would bo greater than wo are,
perhaps, ready to stand under present
conditions. A ban upon tho exportation
of brood mares would not be a bad Idea "
Schuyler I Parsons, also an official of
the Jockey Club, was another sportsman
to Indorso Mnjor General Scott's atti
tude. Mr Parsons feels that tho placing
of a limit upon the price which the Gov
ernment must pay for cavalry mounts
blocks the way for the army to obtain
good horses.
"By placing a maximum valuation on
horses to be bought for the army," said
Major General Scott, "wo not only are
unfair to tho breeder, who Is thus not
able to And a market In tho Government
of his own country, but wo also impair
tho uses of the cavalry. It is obvious that
a horse worth $3M cannot be bought for
$173, und If tho latter sum be the maxi
mum tho higher grade mounts are out of
the question for the army."
Algernon Dalngerfleld, secretary of the
Jockey Club, said yesterday that he felt
Major General Scott had struck the nail
on the head In the matter.
"I don't believe there should bo a limit
on the purchase price of mounts tor the
0.1 my," said Mr. Dalngerfleld. "As Major
General Scott has pointed out, It Impairs
the efficiency of the service. A cavalry is
no stronger than Its mounts and you can't
expect to get hlgh-claas horses at low
class prices."
Tho chief of staff declares the army has
need of 000 cavalry remounts annually,
and a great many more In case of emer
gency.
FRYER SHADES HAUBER
DESPITE FOUL WALLOPS
Southwark Boxer's Early Lead Serves
Him in Good Stead.
Although Jimmy Fryer, of Southwark,
was greatly weakened as a result of two
low punches landed unintentionally by
Henry Hauber, of Falrmount, the former
was entitled to a shade the better of the
fighting at the conclusion of the sixth
round of the wind-up at the Broadway
last night.
Because of his cleverness. Fryer was
enabled to make Hauber miss his vicious
left and right hand swings, at the same
tlmo counting wth left Jabs, hooks and
short right hand punches. When Henry
landed the first punch below the belt In
the fourth round. Fryer had a safe lead.
After a short rest he continued, slightly
weakened. In the next round. Jimmy
doubled up like a Jack-knife after a low
punch and almost rooled out of the ring,
writhing In pain. When hostilities started
again, Fryer seemed in greut distress and
Just about managed to finish the en
counter. ...,. ,, ..
In the other bouts Al Nash easily de

VIC SAIER, OF CHICAGO CUBS,
HAS PLACE IN HALL OF FAME
By GRANTLAND RICE
Tho Baseball Iteportor dropped in at
Bill's .plneo with tho general Idea of put
ting nwny a couplo of lull, dark ones
Ills Bystcm had Just absorbed n July
double-header and he carried n thirst
which batted .BIS. In addition to which,
Just nt that moment, ho didn't mind
talking bnseball nny more thnn a soldier
nflcr completing 21 hours In tho llrst-llne
trenches minds re-ontcrang tho same
after n 20-mlnuto rest.
Fine Chance
In addition to tho two tall, dark ones,
tho weary B. II. was- highly desirous of
hiding a place to rest and medltnto upon
somo light topic apart from baseball
nnd double-headers such an tho Euro
pi nn wnr or the decline of civilization
Ho had a line chance. One nnd one
quarter minutes after ho had arrived
thoy had him In an argument up to his
neck. Few arguments of any kind ever
got much higher. When they do, tho ar
gument ends abruptly in the knowledge
that tho best nny bloke can over got In
an argument Is a shado the worst of It,
or posBlblv a tie.
But the B II had to stick In the debate
or leave his thirst quencher. His feet
were willing, but his throat was weak.
Picking the N. L. King
The debaters had agreed that Ty Cobb
wns tho best all around ball player In
tho American League which wns a won
der, even understanding Just how good
Cobb Is
But picking tho star contender In the
National League had been another mat
ter. Among those nominated were Hcr
zog, of tho Beds; Cravath, of the Phil
lies; Jako Daubert, of tho Dodgers, Dosle,
Burns and Mprklo, of the Giants; Evers
and Maranvllle, of tho Brnves; Jack Mil
ler, of the Cardinals; Hans Wagner, of
tho Pirates, and somo 10 or 12 others.
But no one player had nny two votes
which shows about how unanimous the
award was.
So they put It up to tho Basoball Re
porter. Another Choice
"Well," said tho B. R "what's tho mat
ter with Vic Snlcr!" Ho got what might
be called the hoarse hoot right away.
"Vlo Snler;" queried a heavy-set bloke
with a crimson frontispiece "where does
this busher como In against such peoplo
as Lurry Doyle, Cactus Cravath, Jake
Daubert or Honus Wagner? Chccso for
him."
Another Entry
Vic Baler Isn't the only first baseman
In tho M. L. deserving of high Indorse
ment. There Is, for another Instance, Mr
F. Merkle. of the Giants.
After a. thorny start, which Is now an
cient history, Merkle fought his way back
and did star work in 1911. when he was a
biff factor In Giant success. After 1913
his njay began to wano a bit and by 1311
he waB tagged and labeled for the bench
by about 23.000 grand stand managers who
figured the Toledo boy all In.
After slipping In 1913 and slipping fur
ther In 10H, few had any Idea that ho had
still another comeback packed away in
his willowy system But Merkle has cour-

in Last Year's Meet.
PHILMONT, Pa July .-The sixth an.
nual mtdBiimmer one-day handicap tour
nament of the Golf Association of Phila
delphia will be played today at the Thll
mont Country Club. Early this morning
the entries had reached the number of 80,
and aa post-entries will be received, the
chances are that the total will exceed 100.
This la SB more than last year.
Last year this event, played at St.
David's, resulted In a four-cornered tie
for low net score. In reality It was a five
cornered tie, but II. W Perrln, who bd
low gross Bcore, withdrew from the
low net competition The players In the
tie were F, H. Mahan, St David's; P. U
Corson, Plymouth! C. B, Calvert, Aronl
mink, and W. K. Yarrow, Mrlon. In the
play-off Calvert and Yarrow again tied,
but in the second play-off. Yarrow, with a
handicap of li. won without the aid of his
allowance. Calvert's handicap was five
strokes'.
The rain of yesterday has made the
greens, which were a bit fast. In excel

fairways a trifle.

ho has been ono of tho stnrs of tho cam
paign ono of tho most valuable portions
or McOraw'a struggling machine. Ills
batting cyo hns range'd between .320 nnd
.3.10 all year ho has been a timely hitter
and his play around first iins been both
consistent and brilliant. In place of being
his last and worst 1015 so far has been
his greatest year.
Almost a Draw
In tho wake of these figures tho B. II.
almost obtained a draw which Is one
under par In all baseball arguments. The
point which made tho argument close
was thnt Saler "had passed Cobb In total
bases secured by use of tho bludgeon und
had passed Sam Crawford In extra bases
secuied with tho same round, blunt In
strument. For Cobb, with his keen eye
and rare speed, and Crawford, with hla
mighty wallop, are generally In front In
their specialties nnd no one 'naj figured
tho quiet, retiring worker on the Cubs
oven close to their class.
Enter V. Saier
"I'll tell you where he comes In," an
wered the B. B. "Through the following
doors viz:
"1. Saler has scored more runs than
any other mnn In t'ne National League.
"2., Tho records show he has also driven
In more than nny other.
"3. Ho Is tied with Carey for the lead
In stolen baser
"1. Ho has hit for a greater total of
bases t'nan Ty Cobb, with 1G7, against
151.
"5. Ho has batted for more extra bases
than Sam Crawford, with 71, against CO.
"6 Ho leads his loague in two-base
hits, In three-baso hits and is second to
Cravath In home runs.
"7. In addition to this remarkable show

Atlantic-Pacific Lawn Tennis
The Eastern lawn tennis selection dis
patched to the Pacific coast Is highly de
sirous of a chance for revenge upon
Eastern sod.
While tho showing made by the Eastern
contingent was disappointing It followed
expected lines. No matter where the In
tersectlonal match might bo played nor
what star men tho East might enter, it
Is highly Improbable that any four In
America or anywhero else could be
found capable of beating McLoughlln,
Johnson, Murray and Strachan, the star
pick of the Western coast, McLoughlln,
as great as ho Is, Is only, a short stride
beyond his California mates and the four
together, as a team, aro about as Invinc
ible as Invincibility, In sport, ever gets
to be.
The underdogs of war are loose. Boston
rose from the rut last season, and now
comes Brooklyn, anothor cellar habitue,
with a flag-spun drive from the bosky
dell.
As related before, anything can happen
in sport. Alexander has been beaten four
times In only a little over three months.
JOHNSON HAS SAVED
$100,000 FROM FIGHTS
Ex-Heavyweight Champion
Says He Has Not Spent His
Money Foolishly.
Jack Johnson, who at one time occu
pied the pinnacle of pugilistic heavy
weight fame, has a '"rainy day" fund, A
smal ltrlfle of 1100,000, he says,- he has
stowed away just now, with the prospect
of securing the mere pittance of (100,000
to JM0.000 moro through the movlng-plc-ture
sates of the Johnson-Willard films.
Provided the former flstlo king Isn't
selied with a mania for throwing away
his money In chunks, he will be able,
banking on the truth of the statement,
to live In comparative style and luxury
the balance of his da) 8.
If Johnson lived at the rata of W,0oa
a year (that Is about tt a day for the
rest of his life) It wowW mean that ho
could live about 10 ywM longer and leaa
some money behind, even If he never got
a dollar from the tntHrtng-plotura sates.
The J160.00Q that'JehnMA has now can be
depended upon to draw Interest about 6
psr cent yearly Jonnsea'a interest in
come for the third year would be about
M00 shy of his outgo, leaving him ikh

Continue this little system of adding 9

plans for their annual championship tour
nament. Tho scene will bo the links of
the Greenwich Country Club a'nd the time
Is set for September 7 jo 11, Inclusive
There Is a little uncertainty about condi
tions, but It Is tho desire to avoid playing
on Labor Day, as was the case last year
at Garden City. ,,
Although at first It may appear as con
flicting with the national nmatcur cham
pionship, it happens to follow by a week,
for tho amateur does not always begin
Labor Day, as It did two seasons ago.
When the collegians gathered at Garden
City recently, Apawamia waa voted as the
links for the 1015 ovent, but the Bje or
ganization has bo .much to attend to with
the seniors tournament late In Septem
ber, together with the metropolitan ama
teur championship early In the season,
thnt tho university players found It ad
visable to seek another venue.
Greenwich Is a popular spot, ao it was
selected. The club Is fortunate In having
quite a few sleeping roons, so that nearly
half the competitors may be accommo
dated there.
Incidentally Greenwich plana to repeat
Its Ideas of holding an Invitation tournn
mont on the first three days of the week.
so It happens that September 27 to 29
have been chosen. These days, as was
the case last year. Immediately precede
tho Tristate matches for tfie Lesley Cup
at Merlon.
Thun competitors In the latter may tune
up at Greenwich on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, get In Thursday for practice
at Merlon and be ready for the Lesley
Cup events on Friday and Saturday.

Manager Dresnahan will depend', upon

tho Phillies he held Moran's men to four
hits and scored a victory over Rlxey,
who was also pitching grand ball.
nixey la pitching better bail with eretr
start and Is anxious to turn" thai tables on
Lavender today The Phllly players were
very much disappointed at not being able
to finish or play five Innings of tho second
game yesterday, m they figured that two
defeats In one nrternoon would do much
toward putting the Cuba on the toboggan.
The Cubs do not look nearly so strong
as they did on their first appearance in
this city, and the gsnernl opinion is that
uresnahan's team is hot likely to stay
up In the pennant fight Three out of four
for tho Phillies would do much toward
sending the Cubs down a peg or two In
tho standing and the, Phils win fight hard
for tho next two games.
So far In the series the Phillies have
played better all-round bolt than
the Cubs. Dresnahan has shown little
