CLASS TELLING IN AMERICAN -.
&ACE WITH DETROIT, BOSTON
: .AND CHICAGO COMING STRONG
r After Miserable Start, Three Favorites Are Strik
ing' Stride and Probably Will Soon Be Chal
lenging Cleveland for Lead
""1IJABS will tell, la a Xnvorlto expression In sportriom, and Invariably it runs
J true to form. For several weeks It socmod as If this tlmoworn expression and
tho dope were abolit to bo given n Jolt In tho major league baseball races, but
W tho two campaigns near the hnif-way mark, class Is telling. With few execp.
tlorts llio teams of tho two major leagues are finding their natural stride, whether
It Is up among tho leaders or back with tho also-rans.
Tho American Lcanuo race Is a notable cxamtilo of class nssortlntr Itself.
i For OHO month tho champion lied Sox, Detroit nnil Chicago showed poor form,
ml It looked as If this powerful trio of flag favorites were going to prove blttor
disappointments, but they aro gradually loundlng Into form nnd nro In position to
climb rapidly to tho top with a spurt ns soon as Cleveland strikes a slump.
Cleveland, however, appears to have passed tho false-alarm stage, and is a
real flag contender, unless the pitching Btnff cracks. Tho Indians, untlko Wash,
ington, did not reach tho top bcCauso sevcrnt men were batting above their normal
speed, as only Speaker, of Fohl!s leaders, Is batting abovo any past performance,
nnd there really Is no. way of rating this marvel. Ho Is likely to contlnuo nt
his present clip for tho remainder of the season, ns ho Is ono of tho greatest
players In tho game, playing under conditions which appeal to him moro than
lit Boston
Tho great danger for tho Indians will nrrlvo when Speaker strikes his first
slump and OUy Morton runs Into somo tough breaks. Cleveland is very much
like tho Phillies In this respect. Tho National Lcaguo champions depend upon
Alexander tho Great for tho bulk of the defense nnd Cravath for tho "punch"
while Spcakor Is tho offense nnd defense, with Morton another wonderful defenslvo
aid. While a two-man team, tho Indians play tho samo aggressive, Intelligent ball
v.fclc'h won for the Phils, and may lertd tho Red Sox, Whlta Sox, Tigers and
Yankfl a great chase.
- Washington's Slump Not n Surprise
WASHINGTON has pfruck a slump which Bcrlbes and fans cannot understand,
butlt yvha to bo expected. When tho Senators wero far out In front, Henry
waa batting ,37B, McBrldo .300, Morgan .320, Moellor .310, Judgo .300 nnd Rondeau
.290. Wo ventured tho prediction at that time that Washington would como
tumbling, down aa soon as theso players struck their normal speed, and that Is
exactly what occurred.
A glanco at tho latest batting averages shows tho Senators hitting as follows:
Milan, .302; Williams, .289; Henry, .285; Shanks. .270; Morgan, .200; McBrldc,
.240; Rondeau, .237; Mooller, .234; Judge, .220; Foster, 217. Nothing moro need bo
e&ld, excepting that there aro several in tho abovo list who aro likely to drop still
lower before they strlko their normal speed, whllo only Foster Is below his
average.
Eight out of tho last nine games played havo been lost by tho Senators, and
tho majority of tho defeats wore sustained despite, excellent pitching by Grllllth's
hurlers. Tho team Is still In second place, but. probably will bo'flghtlng to keep
out of tho second division beforo two weeks have passed, as Detroit, Chicago and
Boston nre coming fast.
Tho spurt of the Tigers and White Sox was expected, and tho fans wero
urpriaed when .theso two teams got off to such n poor start, but tho Red Sox
i appeared to bo In such a demoralized condition after the sudden departuro of
Speaker that Its pennant chanca seemed decidedly slim ono month ngo. Detroit
nnd Chicago 'aro tho class of tho American Lenguo If tho pitchers hold up.
Chicago has tho pitching material, but apparently It Is being poorly handled,
whllo Detroit has a two-man Btnff and will havo troublo holding tho lend through
August nnd September, oven If they go Into tho lead In July, as scorns certain.
Detroit Has Everything But Pitching
DETROIT is leading tho league in hitting, fleldlngsnnd runs scored; but
Jennings cannot find another pitcher cnpablo of keeping pneo with Covcleskto
and Dauss. Hamilton, a star with tho Browns until last year, may fill tho breach
for tho Tigers. Ho was a wonderful southpaw whon in condition, and as ho Is
only a youngster, thero Is no reason why ho should not come back strong this year.
Jennings has lost many games experimenting with Bill James nnd Georgo
Cunningham. Tho latter has lost seven and won only two games to date, whllo
James has thrown four away without a victory. Tho Whlto Sox also havo been
handicapped by poor pitching, although stupid ball and dissension aro said to havo
held back thia all-star cast. Faber, Russell, Clcotto and Bcnz havo shown fairly
good form. 'but Jim Scott, counted upon to win 60 (por cent, of his game-i, has
' failed totally. He has won two games and lost six, and has failed as a pinch
Elabblst in eight other games, which could havo been saved if ho had been in his
pant form.
A star hurler'a failure to round into form also has held back tho Red Sow
Whllo Ruth, Leonard and Shoro aro now in their 1915 form, with the world's
champions only o. fqw games back of tho leaders, Georgo Foster, hero of tho
clash with tho Phillies, has been showing miserablo form. Ho has lost six out of
nine games pitched and has been in such poor form that ho was not avallablo for
relief work, which was his specialty in 1915.
Speaker's departure left a great gap1 In the Boston machine, but tho records
show that this was not wholly responsible for tho champions' poor start. Harry
Hooper is hitting .244. DufTy Lewis .244, Clartyico Walker .229 and Henrlksen
.210, which is not a very impressivo showing for four men rated as slugging
outfielders. Jack Barry Is clubbing at a .217 clip, whllo Janvrln, another regular,
Is batting .228. Is it any wonder that the Red Sox havo not been winning, even
with great pltchlng7 Speaker's hitting would help, but not much, -until the
others strlko their stride.
Poor Form of Caldwell 'and'Keating Handicaps tho Yanks
THE Yankees aro still another team held) back by tho failure of pitching nnd
slugging mainstays. Ray Caldwell, generally considered ono of tho greatest
hurlers in tho game, started tho season with tho intention of winning 30 games.
This promise pleased Manager Donovan greatly and ho had visions of a pennant,
t aa Ray Keating also showed wonderful form at tho training camp. Caldwoll
has won two out of eight and Keating two out of seven to date. If this pair of
veteran staro had performed as well as expected, tho Yankees would bo out In front
with rnany games to spare, despite tho"falIuro of several players to bat up to form.
Donovan Is extremely fortunate that he picked up two sterling young south
paws in Mogrtdge and Cullop, and that ho took a chance on Bob Shawkey whon
others advised him to pass up tho former Mackman. Cullop and Mogrldge have
won seven games between them without a defeat, whllo Shawkey has won flvo out
Of seven and saved soveral others. Shawkey's vyqrlt has been more consistent than
any other pitcher In tho league, Including Johnson, Morton, Ruth and Myers.
Tho failure of Baker, Magee, Gllhooley and Gedeon to bat up to form also
has. hurt the Yankees, It really is remarkable that the team is so closo to tho
leaders under conditions. Magee la batting .218, while Gedeon is ono point above.
When Gedeon opened the season with a rush New York scribes hailed him as a
wonder. After seeing him chase curve balls, we predicted that he would be a
junns aiier ono swing arouna the circuit. The statement amused tho Gotham
critics, who must hate to look at Gedeon's average now.
Mackmen Losing Steadily on Road
BETWEEN erratic pitching, miserablo batting and the unseasonable weather,
the Athletics are having a. hard time away from home and are now so
firmly entrenched In last plaqe that it will require some time for Mack to get the
team started on the drive toward a first-division berth. When tho Mackmen
departed for the West they apparently were Just rounding Into form, but tho
lack of morning practice and many postponements have placed the team in the
eamo condition It was prior to the opening game in Boston.
terrotic fielding and pitching were expected of tho Mackmen for tho first
half of the season, but the terrjble batting slump of several regulars cannot bo
understood. "Stuffy" Molnnls, one of the game's greatest hitters for seven years
la batting 488, Lajoie. 239; Walsh, .228, and Wally Schang, ,188. Is it any wonder
the Mackmen cannot win?
fitrunk, Oldring and Witt are the only men on the team hitting well, although
Charley Pick, wttji a .240 average, is making his safeties when they aro needed
jnogU Myers and Bush find it impossible to keep going under such a handicap
While Wyckoff, Nnbors, Sheehan and Crowell havo failed to round into form!
The1 poor work, of the latter is a great blow to Mack, who expected the Brun
cnlan to develop Into a star.
Mack has.about lost patience with Crowell, and believes he will bo of little
liw this season, as his confidence is gone. Neither Mack nor his players can
cWunt for Crowell'a failure after his brilliant showing in the South. He has been

B. LEONARD HAS
TOUGH TWIN JOB
FOR THIS WEEK
Gotham K. 0. Lad Meets
Dundee Tonight and Welsh
Friday in N. Y.
BROADWAY SHOW TONltiHT
WHtfN A FELLJ3R NEEDS A FRIEND
Little Ilenny Leonard Ims a big Job on
his hands this week. Tho Gotham knock
out walloper tackles two ot his lending rl
vnls for lightweight honors. Johnny Dun
dco will tnkn on tho Hebrew Idol In 'Mnrti-
non Squnro (Inrden, Now York, tonight, nnd
Friday evening Freddy Welsh will bold up
his tltlo In the ring nt Washington Park,
Hrooklyn, for Leonard to punch nt.
Hxtrn. Blgiilflcnifco nttnehes to tonight's
affair because of tho effeol It mny havo on
Leonard In cither Improving or hindering
Ills chnnrcn to best tho champion. Looking
bnck through the record books not a slnglo
enso can bo found where n lightweight clinl
lcnjrcr linB fneed nnother opponent four
days boforo his crnck nt tho tltlo.
It Is within tho bounds of possibility that
Leonard will oen dcrlte benefit from tho
encounter with Dundeo In tho lino of get
ting his Judgment of dlstnnco nnd fighting
Instjnct nt keen edge.
Leonard Takes Dig Chance
That will not bo true, however, If Dun
deo should manage to make Leonard exert
n Inrgo pnrt of his strength or administer
much punishment.
Cither one of theso eventualities would
Impair tho Hnrlcmlto's changes ngalnst
Welsh. Just ns his chances would bo marred
In case ho Injured bis hands by hitting
Dundeo too hard.
The kind of n bout that would put Leon
ard on edgo for Welsh would bo a nice
pretty llttlo boxing match In which neither
man landed any very hard punches.
Leonard has met both Dundeo nnd Welsh
before. Ito defeated tho .Scotch-Italian by
a slight mnrgln In a contest full of action
and overwhelmed tho champion on points.
Tho Englishman was able to do lltUo but
protect himself from what seemed to bo an
Impending knockout.
Welsh's Rally Missing
ncn Welsh's customary tenth-Inning
rally did not muterlnllzo against Leonard,
who set tho pace early and carried It clear
through to tho finish The Now York youth
excelled tho nglng tttleholder so far that
there aro rcasonnblo grounds for tho bollef-
in some quarters that ho may knock out tho
champion next time.
Welsh lias been outpointed on many oc
casions within tho last two years, but ho
hns proved a mighty hard proposition to
stop. There Is no doubt that Leonard will
havo to bo In his very best form In order
to score bis hoped-for knockout Whether
ho Is In his best form depends largely on
Dundoc.
Tho last Lconnrd-Dundeo combat wns
about ns flerco an nltalr ns lightweights
havo offered In a ring, according to specta
tors. Each man scored a knockdown, which
made It nn oven thing on that score, but
Leonard had somewhat tho better of tho
rest of tho ctrugglo.
Ono fact strongly In Leonard's favor In
estimating his chances Is his youth, which
mnkci It probable that ho has Improved
since his last starts. Ho Is only 20 years
old, to Dundee's 23 and Welsh's 30. Ho has
been boxing two years less than Dundee
and seven years less than Welsh.
Dlackburn at Droadway
Tonight's tho night for tho first Monday
show at Muggsy Taylor's Droadway A. C.
during tho, summer campaign, Jnck Black
burn, tho Iiegro boxer, who wns the greatest
fighting machine known to flstlana several
years ngo, when ho met lightweights, wel
terweights, mlddlewelghts and heavyweights
alike. Is tho big fcaturo of tonight's per
formance. Blackburn hns not been soen In local
competition for moro than two years, dur
ing which tlmo he hns been boxing nround
Indianapolis, his homo town. Ills oppo
nent. Lengthy Joe Itoscn, tonight will hao
a decided advnntnga In weight, height nnd
reach, but Blackburn probably Will find this
handicap no obstacle.

John McGraw had nn Interesting round
up to offer n day or two ago on tho value
of good, hard hitting. "Good hitting," says
Mcdraw, "not only drives In runs. But It
nlso helps In many other ways. Tho ball
player likes his baio hit abovo every Bectlon
of tho gamo. When ho Is hitting ho la
moro nlcrt, N moro on his toes, nnd Is play

ho Is having moro fun. When ho Isn't hit
