BRAVES OUTCLASSED FIELD
v IN REGENT SERIES BETWEEN
EASTERN FLAG CONTENDERS
Stalling Fast-going Team Won 11 Out of 16
Games Against Even Break for Dodgers.
Phillies Capture 8 Out of 17
THf3 Eait vs. East series In tho National League, which began on Juno 19 and
ended yesterday, resulted In tho elimination of tho New York Giants from
tlie pennant race unless McGraw's team can strike another sensational winning
rcak within the next two weeks. When the Giants returned from tho West
they were within striking distance of first place, and having won 19 out of 21
games away from home. It generally was believed that McGraw's team would
ln tho pehnant with case.
After tho Berles between tho Giants and Phllllesv In this city wo predicted
that tho critics overestimated tho strength of the Giants and that McGraw's team
was not bf championship cnllbro. for tho same prediction 'wo wcro panned and
ridiculed by Now York scribes, but tho recent serlos with tho Phillies, Brooklyn
and Boston Just about proved conclusively that tho Giants are not strong enough
to overcome tho largo lead of tho Dodgers, Phils and Braves.
m It Is possible that tho Giants may come back, but thoy surely will not be able
tofstdgo another winning etreak such as the one which startled the country In
Slay, Virtually all of tho Giants victories on the long winning streak were
gained at tho expense Of tho Western teams, which woro not In very good shape
at the time. Whllo none of tho Western teams, barring Chicago, h'aB shown slgn3
of worrying tho leaders, thoy all nro playing so much better now that )t would
bo nothing short of a mlraclo for tho Giants to repeat.
Unless Chicago comes along with a rush It looks very much as If tho Braves,
Dodgers and Phillies will fight It out for tho pennant, with the former a heavy
favorite. During tho recent ecrles with tho threo most dangerous pennant con
tenders tho Braves proved conclusively that thoy outclass tho field at tho pres
ent time. Perhaps Stalllngs team will strlko another slump, but It Is not likely,
as the Braves had their slump at the start of tho season,
t Braves Win Despite Injuries to Stars
rpHAT tho Braves wore able to stay so close to tho leaders with a team batting
X average of .228 Is proof that Stalllngs' team Is stronger than generally Is be
llcycd. Tho Braves havo been crippled badly, Mageo and Evers having been out
of tho gamo for a long stretch, and several other playors wero batting far below
their normal clip.
It reasonably Is certain that tho Braves will bat better as tho season woars
on, ns thoro Is too much natural clubbing strength In the line-up for the team
to remain at tho foot of tho leagues In team batting. Tho Brave's havo Improved
steadily In all departments, whtla the pitchers contlnuo to display brilliant and
consistent form.
Against tho Dodgers.. Phillies and Giants, Boston won 11 games and lost C:
. Brooklyn broko oven In 20 games played, whllo tho Phillies and Giants lost moro
than they won. Tho champions won 8 and lost 9, while tho Giants could win
only 7 out of 19 games, desplto the fact that tho majority wero played at tho
Polo Grounds.
In theso scries tho Braves showed their old-tlmo fight and "punch." Thoy
lost tho first gamo of tho series with tho plants, but thoy came back and took
threo In a row. Tl.a Phillies, aided by Alexander's great pitching, also took tho
first gamo of the eerie3 from Stalllngs' team, but tho Brave3 thon won four
straight from Moron's men. Brooklyn won a double-header as a startor against
tho Braves, but again Stalllngs' team came back strong, winning the last threo
games and tho series.
Stalllngs Has Eight Pitchers in Condition
BOSTON showed marked superiority over tho Phillies, but tho champions out
played Brooklyn and Now York. Seven games wero played between tho
Phils and Braves, five being lost, but Moran's mon won two flve-gamo series
with Brooklyn and New York, taking threo games from each team. New York
got an oven break with Brooklyn In a Blx-gamo series, but lost all othor scries.
Tho main fcaturo of the work of the Braves ha3 been tho fact that Stalllngs
has eight' pitchers In first-class condition, all of whom aro doing their share
toward putting the team In tho race. When tho season opened It was claimed that
Boston did not have a strong pitching staff, but, as was predicted in this column
prior to tho opening of tho season, tho Braves' hurlers aro growing stronger as
tho season progresses and Stalllngs is bettor equipped in this department than
any team in tho league.
"When tho Braves wero In this city Manager Stalllngs declared that ho wel
comed postponed gomes, as his pitching staff was In such condition that tho
team could play a double-header every day from Auguat 15 to tho end of tho
season without wearing out tho pitchers. Tho recent postponed games, thereforo,
are aiding tho Braves, nnd asldo from tho fact that tho rain has cost tho owners
a large sum of money, they probably are glad that tho double-headers are piling
up with pennant contenders, particularly as a largo percentage of the double
headers will bo played In Boston.
Tho postponements also help the Phils quite a lot, as it 13 reasonably certain
that Moran's pitchers will be In better shape later on In the season. They could
not bo worse than at tho present time, and it is posslblo that they will return
to their 1915 form beforo the team returns to this city. If the pitchers return to
form tho Phillies havo a better chance than any team In the league, barring the
Braves, but If Chalmers, Mayer and one or two others contlnuo at their present
clip tho .champions probably will lose so much ground In tho next month that
thoy also will bo eliminated.
Jledley's Record Was Made Against Stronger Oarsmen
WHILE local rowing enthusiasts aro singing tho praisea of Jack Kelly for
breaking the long-standing record of Ed Hedley, who rowed in eight winning
crows In ono season, they must not overlook the fact that the competition Is not
do strong now as It was when the famous Hedley made his record. By rowing In
three winning boats In the People's Regatta, Kelly brought hl3 total of victories for
the season up to 11 which Is a grand performance, but ono that really does not
equal that of Hedley.
Hedley by no means was tho greatest oarsman of his time, but was a wonder
at changing from sculling to sweep rowing and was consistent at both styles.
When Hedley made his record tho competition was strong. He was forced to
Compete against such stars as Van Vloet and Jim Juvenal, of Penn Barge; Harklns,
of tho Potomac Club, of Washington; Joe Wright and Ryan, of the Argonauts;
Scholes, of tho Wlnnlpegs, and other equally famous oarsmen who outclass tho
present-day group.
Harklns prqbably was a better all-round oarsman than Hedley, but did not
compete In so many regattas and thereforo had no chance to break tho record,
tout he generally outrowed the famous Vesper star when they met. Hedley was
better as a sweep oarsman than a sculler, and many of his triumphs were gained
In the famous Vesper-eight, which was coached byrJIm Dempsey.
This crew was'beaten by tho Argonauts when stroked by Joe Wright, tho
present Penn coach. In 1900, but did not lose another race. The famous Canadian
crews were beaten by Vesper, with Hedley stroking, In 1897, 1898, 1899 and 1901.
Jim Dempsey coaohed tho crews, and whllo he believes that Kelly Is one of the
most consistent all-around oarsmen ho ever has seen, he admits that the present
Vesper star would havo found the competition too strong if ho had competed
against the same field from which Hedley gained his honors.
Phillies Are Back in Second Place
THE victory of the Phils over the Braves yesterday enabled tho champions to
regain second place and plso to get an even break for the'eerles. The victory
wis due entirely to the brilliant pitching of Eppa Rlxey, as Moran'a men failed to
hit at opportune moments ant? failed to show the dash and speed so noticeable In
1915. Itlxey held the Braves to three hits and would have registered a shut-out
If the Phils had cared to cut down a runner at the plate in the ninth Inning. As
the Phils had a two-run lead, they played It safe, playing for the batter Instead.
Jess Barn -i was on the mound for the Braves and- pitched another fine game,
irat the Phils managed :o bunch hits In two Innings with good effect. One of the
main features of the ga-ne wa the banishment of Johnny Evers by Umpire Byron
for protesting a - d strike. Evers had been peaceful since the opening of the
eeason and do not doubt there was cause for the kick, as Byron's work on balls and
strikes has been off color for several weeks.
Browns Lead at Making Double Plays
rpHE recent winning streak of the Browns has aroused the St. Louis fans to
, J. such, an extent that they have visions of a pennant, despite the fact that Jones'
team is. more than JO games back of the leaders. They are touting tho Lavan to
Pratt to Sister double-play flmaa the equal of the Tinker to Evers to Chance and
Barry to Collins to Mclnnls combinations, and the work of this trio In recent
fames leads one to believe that they are entitled to recognition.
In six games against Detroit the Browns made 15 double plays, more than
kalf help? made via the Lavan-to-Pratt-to-SlsIer route, while the latter took part
In all nut three of the double killings. The former Michigan marvel made the
second put-out by touching runners at the plate twice, while ,pn another occasion
fcer completed the play by taking a throw at third base. The 15 double DlaVs in
six games is a record for the season which
probably will not be approached. I

AMERICA STILL
TOPS THE LIST
OF OLD YACHTS
Schooner Built in 1851, Win
ner of Cup, Is in Serv
ice Yet
RECORD LIST THIS YEAR
Lloyd's Register of American Ynchts for
101G has Just been published and Is of more
than ordinary Interest from the fact that
the changes through the disappearance of
old yachts and tho addition of new ones are
Indicative of a radical remodeling of the
entire American pleasure lleet.
Tho old schooner America built In 18S1
and winner of the cup named for her, still
heads the list of the old vessels. Tho old
est of the ynchts which disappear this year
Is tho sloop Undine, built by J. McQarrlck
In 180G for the Into W. M. Brasher, once a
well-known yacht owner of tho Brooklyn
Yacht Club. She has dono good sorlce as
a cruiser on the Maine const for tho last
seven years with auxiliary power, but Bho
Is now dismantled nnd converted to a
freighter. Next In point of age Is the
schooner Viking, modeled by J. B. Van
Deusen and built by the Polllons In 1872
for the late Mahlon Sands, who took her to
England two years later. In the '80s she
was well known under the ownership of
tho late Col. J. Mason J.oomls and In 1806
she was purchased by tho late James D.
Smith, of the New York Yacht Club, She
was converted to an auxiliary In 1902 and
clnce Mr. Smith's death In 1900 she has
been used by his daughter. Miss Helen W.
Smith, who sold her last fall for commercial
use.
Also the Bohemian
Another old yacht that has sono the
same way Is the schooner Bohemian, orlg
lnnlly the Caroline, designed by D. J. I.aw
ler nnd built In 1880, well known since then
to Boston yachtsmen. Contemporary, with
her Is the schooner Water Witch, modeled
and built by D. O. Richmond, of Mystic,
and so long known about New York under
the ownership of the late David Banks and
as the flagship of the Atlantic Yacht Club.
The breaking up of the cup defender
Columbia, whose lead keel, according to
reports. Is now widely distributed in the
form of bullets over different European
battlegrounds, was a matter of course, she
being the last of the great fleet which began
with Colonla and Vigilant and ended with
Itollnnce. Except Colonla, now a com
fortable cruiser under the name of Corona,
all have now passed under the sledges of
the wreckers together with the first threo
Shamrocks. It Is a different matter, how
ever, when such fine yachts as the sisters
Muriel and Princess (the first Elmlna) and
the auxiliary Tekla, are sold for break
ing up.
These three steel schooners, of excellent
model and cruising proportions, were de
signed by the late A. Cary Smith and built
as recently as 1001-02 good for many
years of cruising service, and yet there Is
no sale for them today. In their company
Is the composite schooner Endymlon. de
signed by C. II. Crane and built In 1890;
the big wooden auxiliary schooner Grace
II., originally Hoosler and Shepherdess, a
vessel of the same general type. The
smaller wooden schooner Vigil (A. Cary
Smith, 1899) has gone as well,
List of Yachts
The list as It stands to date, compiled
from many sources of Information, shows
a total of 183 yachts launched since Janu
ary 1, 1916, or now under construction In
the States, all yachting being at a stand
still In Canada. Of this number, the great
est on record, 179. will be found entered
by name In the 1916 Register, the others
being unnamed up to the first week In June.
An analysis of this fleet shows that, though
greatly In the minority, Ball still holds a
place either alone or with the gasoline en
gine as an auxiliary. There are two sail
ing schooners, two ClaBs P boats and a new
one design class of 40 footers, in addition
to several classes of small one-design
sloops. Several fine auxiliary schooners,
ketches and yawls have also been added
to the fleet. In the power division there
U but one steam yacht, of the torpedoboit
type, and more than 200 power yachts.
The 1916 Register contains the particu
lars of 3689 yachts, with the names and
addresses of their owners; the particulars
of 683 yacht clubs and 41 associations
within the llmlta of the United States. Can
ada and the Wst Indies; the burgees of
608 yachting organizations and the private
signals of 1836 yachtsmen.

WHITE SOX STAND BETTER
CHANCE OF WINNING PENNANT
THIS YEAR THAN LAST SEASON
At This Stage of Race in 1915 Comiskeyites Were
Beginning to Slump While Now They Just
Have Started to Climb
By GRANTLAND RICE
THERE are more than one or two who
rcfuso to take tho New York Yankees
and the Cleveland Indians Bcrlously as pen
nant contenders. But theso details should
be held In mind: Tho Yanks and Indians
have been up at tho top desplto the fact
that both clubs have had tho toughest luck
in their league tho toughest luck In the
game.
In addition to Qllhooley, out with a
broken leg. and Malsel, out with a broken
arm. tho Yanks have suftorcd the loss of
such men as Baker, Mngee, Nunamaker,
Pecklnpaugh and Mogrldge. If Donovan
can win a Hag against this outbreak of mis
fortuno ho will bo deserving of nil the
cheers there are. And the ball club that
leads him to the peak will be In for qulto a
scrimmage.
The Three First Choices
At this point a year ago the White Sox
were Ju9t beginning to slip. Of late they
have lust begun to start. So they aro In a
far bettor technical position for 101G than
they wero in 101S, although a year ago
today they wero well in front.
The first of the three First Choices
White Sox, Red Sox nnd Tigers to start a
wild upward rush wns Detroit The Tigers
came from sixth place to a tie for the top
In about a month. The race looked to be
all over. Then with equal suddenness tho
Tigers blow npart as the White Sox forged
forward. Ten days ago we thought Detroit
was fairly sure to win. Now wo confess to
a Jumble that 13 well beyond our limited
ken.
Moran and the Scrapheap
Frank Moran already has been consigned
to the scrapheap by a considerable crop of
experts. But one bad battle doesn't make
a bum. Moran made the big mistake of
thinking that a "good big man" In poor
condition could trim a "good little man"
In tho well-known pink of punching form.
It was a mistake that cost him copious
quantities of gore, but It yet hasn't elimi
nated Frank as a heavyweight contender
against the day of Wlllord's forced retire
ment through a surplus of weight.
Moran still has his chance by keeping his
own weight down and by working ahead,
with his eya still on the goal. He never will
get there by repeating his Dillon prepara
tion. The Second Intersectional
We have with us today the second Inter
sectional; meaning the second clash of bats
by the-West and the EaBt.

A LONG TIME SINCE WE STUDIED GEOMETRY
GIANTS ARE IN
DESPERATE NEED
OF MOUNDSMAN
McGraw Willing to Go to
Any Length to Get High
Grade Hurler
ANXIOUS FOR SALLEE
Ni:w YORK, July C. In desperate straits
for pitchers John McGraw led tho Giants
to Pittsburgh last night resolved to go to
any extremes to obtain ono or moro mound
men of nblllty. An Inclplentrfnln and cloudy
sky gavo McGraw tho cuo to postpono tho
final gamo scheduled with Brooklyn yes
terday, which caused llttlo disappointment
to player3 or fana Tho oft day provided
an opportunity for tho players to board an
early train and also gavo McGraw a chance
to again open negotiations with tho St.
Louis Cardinals for tho sen-Ices of "Slim"
Snllee.
McGraw Is ready to sncrlflce some of his
hitting strength for pitchers. Ho Is willing
to mako any kind of a deal almost to obtain
Sallee. But St. Louis owners Insist that
a deal for Salleo must be on a strictly cash
basis. McGraw Is said to havo offered
$16,000 for the eccontrlo left-hander, and
nlso report has it that St. Louis is holding
out for considerably moro than that.
Inasmuch as Sallee has definitely an
nounced his retirement from baseball and
has not reported to the Cardinal1) slnco ho
left the club In New York moro than throe
weeks ago, It Is probable that St. Louis
will accept the $15,000 offer of tho Giants.
Sallee Is too valuable a piece of baseball
property to lose outright. Salleo has said
that he would be willing to play with tho
Giants or any othor team excepting tho
Cardinals.
Although there Is little to base the rumor
on, It Is said that Pittsburgh stands ready to
trado a pitcher for an outfielder. Just
what outfielder McGraw would bo willing to
sacrifice to gain an able mound man Is not
known.
McOraw has little hope that tho Giants
will be able to repeat on this trip the
victories on the first extended Journey
away from home, when the club won 17
Btralght games and 19 out of 21 for tho trip.
He does feel that the hitting will Improve,
for he still Imfsts that tho unnatural
shadows and dark background at the Polo
Ground aro not confined to good batting.
WELSH TO DEFEND TITLE?

The pursa offered by the club for the bout
Is iSO.OOO, The right to choose the opponent
rests with the club securing the signature of
Welsh. This proviso wsa Inserted because of
Ilia fact that Welsh la scheduled to meet Charllu
White In a 12-round no-declslon battle at illn

"They say that I am afraid of White and
that I have dodged him time and again. As
a matter of fact, 1 know that White Is a
good man. and I do not propose to meet him
until I am well paid for the. fight," Welsh aald.
'The Colorado Springs club Is the first one
which has definitely agreed to meet my demands
