By ROBERT W. MAXWELL
ST. LOUIS. Mo., June 3. The battle for
tho cellar championship of the American
League wilt be fought this afternoon, and
It Is hoped on nil sides that the worst
team will lose.
A regular struggle Is looked for, with
both sides confident of keeping out of the
dismal swamp. The youthful athletes on
Sir. Mack's ball club arrived here happy
and smiling this morning, after two lovely
nights and one beautiful day on the train.
'There Is nothing that makes one so Joyous
and happy as spending two nights on a
steeper. The hired men Just beamed
through the dust, soot, cinders and coal
which covered their features and bore up
bravely under, tho Bhock when It was an.
nounced that the train was only ono hour
late. One hour meant nothing In their
young lives Just then. All they wanted
was some breakfast, and no one would have
objected had the alleged "flyer" been but 10
minutes late.
There seems to be a wave of patriotism
sweeping the country. Last Saturday up In
Boston they DUt on a nreDaredneax nnrarfn.
I despite the fact that a couple of hundred
educated young gents participated In an In
tercollegiate trade meet. It almost put the
highbrow matinee on the blink, but Boston
Insisted on being prepared.
St. Louis Is stagtnr the same act today
and the town Is alt dolled up like a Chinese
warship. The good old red white and blue
is waiving proudly rrom everytning which
It -can wave and orator's were not called on
to speak last Decoration Day are preparing
to spill their speeches on the slightest pro
vocation. Everybody In town la expected to
fall or slip Into line and the terrible
struggle for the cellar championship of the
American League is almost forgotten.
The good cltltens can see a ball game
any day, but it is seldom that they have
a chance to parade before the admiring
thousands lined up on the curb. The man
agement of the ball club decided not to
Interfere with the big event, so the big
game will be put on as an added attrac
tion Uter in the day.
Dill' Evans and Dick Nallln, the well,
known and sometimes efficient umpires, will
call the fuss at 4:15 p. m., and it Is fer
vently hoped that it will t finished wth
out the aid of searchlight. Fielder Jones
and his gang are in rare spirits today after
walloping Cleveland, ytaterday, and tha
game with the Athletics Is not worrying
them one bit. The Mackmen, on the other
paw, also are confident. Sheehan will do
the twirling, and Connie s sure that he
Will come through with flying colors.

BIG TROTTING RACES
AT NARBERTH, JUNE 7
Senator James P. TMcNichol Has
Daragh Entered in Horse Deal
ers' Sweepstake Trot
Tho Belmont mile track nt Nnrberth will
In all probability be the cceno of some fast
trotting nnd pacing races on Wednesday,
Juno 7, tho date of tho fifth annual Horse
Dealers' Sweepstake for 2:30 class trotters.
Fifteen horses aro named to start. Tho win
ner will tako the entire purse, which will bo
approximately ?D0O. Besides tho purse, tho
winner will bo given a silver loving cup
donated by Senator James P. McNIchol.
Tho fifteen horses entered aro a fast lot
of trotters, capable of covering miles In 2:17
or better. Somo of tho horses aro Florence
White, a local entry; Daragh, a. chestnut
maro from Senator McNlchol's stable : Sam
Forman, of Freehold, N. J. ; Leonomont, a
Delaware Stato entry, Tho Delia Bell, and
May McCllntock.
Vou played your game In tho Jamboree;
You stuck It out while tno granti stana
cursed :
Serenely knowing somo club must be
Tho worst.
Olnnts are nnxloun and Braves can't sleep ;
lied Sox nnd Whlto Sox are on tha fret;
But over a tough loss do you weep?
Not yet.
Jjet thoso bother who crown the top;
Feverish, fretting-, stale nnd sore!
You should worry you who can drop
No more.
Up there, struggling for the pot,
Each day brings on another pinch;
You aro tho only guys who've got
A cinch.
"Fed stars responsible for (Hants' great
spurt," announces nn exchange. Giving; all
credit to Messrs. ICnuff, Anderson, Bnrlden,
McKechnle and Iloush, we wouldn't go quite
so far as to say that. There Is Dave Rob
ertson, batting abovo ,330; there nro Oeorgo
Burns nnd Larry Doyle, bnttlng well over
,300 ; there nro Art Fletcher and Fred
Merkle, playing brilliantly and, nmong
others, thcro Is Doctor Matthewson.
Colonel Iko Dorgan, tho manager of
Frank Mornn, wishes to propound Just ono
query. "They say," remarks Ike, "that
Frank hns been afraid to meet Jack Dillon.
Is a man likely to bo afraid of Jack Dillon
when ho has shown his willingness to meet
Jack Johnson 20 rounds and to face Jess
Willard? Is Dillon moro dangerous than
Johnson was thrco years ago or than' Wil
lard was this last March7" Thts seems
to close out tho debate.
"Is It on tho level Is It really true,"
writes a fan from n small town, "that
Christy Mathewson has come back? It
doesn't seem possible, considering the work
he has done In tho last IS years."
According to the deep lnnor feelings of
several clubs that Mathewson haH met the
statement clrtunlly Is truo. At leaBt they
seem to havo a hunch that he has started
in that general direction, at least.
Colonel Cornelius McGIUlcuddy has
worked wonders with a young team, nnd
he mny, as quoted, win n pennant by 1917.
But we doubt very much that the latter
event takes place unless Connie can dis
cover somo wonderful taming process to
npply to several of his young pitchers.
Having the stuff la one thing. Getting it
over Is another.
Tho four Western clubs in the National
League so far have been found wanting.
None of the four hns shown the stuff to earn
a first division resting place. If 'there la
any latent talent that has been overlooked,
this Jaunt through the Bast will be In the
nature of a. last stand. For If none of the v
Westerners Is able to get going through
June, thero will be very llttlo hope iater
on, In view of the Jump tho Giants, the
Dodgers nnd Phillies havo obtained.
L F, IC. No, Cobb doesn't grip hla bat
with both hands together at the lower end
of tho club, Hut hands are aoverat Inches
apart and at least three Inches from the
end of tho mace ho wields.
Western clubs In the American League
may look upon the Mackmen as Jokes,
but we advise them to reconsider this stand
on tho days that Connie decides to work
a Mr. nimer Myors. This lanky entry
would bo n tough bird to overthrow If work
ing with tho Orphan Asylum's third team.
Pierce to rfay With Toledo

agrr of the Toledo Club In the American Asso
rjatlon, hns announced he has signed George
