ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 10. Dodo Paskert
will probably draw a suspension for his run
in xvlth Umpire tlnnk O'Dny, after the latter
called tho Phlllle out on strikes In the
fourth Inning of yesterday's frolic.
After belnjr called out, 1'askert turned to
protest to O'Day that the! pitch was wlcto
and at tho samo time to lllng his bat toward
the Phils' bench. O'Day was In the path of
tho nwlng and to avoid atrlklng the um
plre, Paskert heaved the bat In the air, over
Hank's head. Evidently believing that
Paskert -was trylnc to Imitate Cobb, EveM
and KnulT, who havo recently dono bat
awtnslng acts, O'Day chased Paskert as he
started across the Held for tho clubhouse,
Dode continued his verbal protest at being
banished.
"That's all right, you've dono nothing

"No. I ruess I am the one to blame." cut
In O'Day, and when Moran attomptcd to

Med for second placa In tha 1918 Intercol

ny other Eastern university. Cornell lost
. athletes who scored SS of the 45 points In
Potter, Hoffmlre, Taylor, Gubb, Van Wlnkla
and Corwlth. and with them bo Starr. Mc
Laren, Millard and BeckwJth, a.l point
scorers in dual meets, Pennsylvania lost
Meredith and Kauffman. tho backbone of the
Ited and Blue team; Michigan lost Harold
Smith, great sprinter; Stanford suffers the
loss of Kred Murray, dual hurdle winner:
Yale will miss Wesley Oler, high-Jump
champion 'and broad Jumner: California
will be without Preble and .Maker, hurdlers
and Jumpers; BlUy Bfngluun and Jphri. O.
Johnstone have deserted Harvard to make
a. living, and "Ted" Brown has left Penn
State and this causes Trainer Martin to
seek another hurdler,
These vacancies leave openings to be
filled by more or less ambitious athletes
The fellows who placed back in tha ruck
may be champions next spring. The 19l
Xr&sbmen teams on the whole looked woe
fully weakj but by next year these self
same lads may gain- In experelnce, and

Tho second scries of matches for tho In

bring together tho first and second teams of
dcrmantown nnd Philadelphia, and Merlon
and Belflcld, tho first division contests Do
ing scheduled nt Manheim and Haverford,
nnd tho second division at St Martin's and
Wister.
Quite a number of our very best players
aro unable to represent tholr respective
clubs in this annual fray, for1 divers and
sundry reasons. Klrst, the Philadelphia
Cricket Club has lost three of Its leading
players Alec, Joo and Ed Thayer who aro
on tho way to El Paso with tho First City
Troop. Willis E. Davis, tho national clay
court champion, who, playing No. 1 for the
Cricket Club last year, won all but one
ot his matches, la gunning after bigger
gamo, milking the circuit of tho "big time,"
beginning with the New York State cham
pionship nt Utlca, following up with Long
wood, Southampton, Nowport, Seabrlght
and finally Forest Hills and the national
championship. The Philadelphia Cricket
Club half expected that It. Norrls Wil
liams, 3d, would play In the Interclub
matches, but Williams, too, is after bigger
gamo.
Thus all of Philadelphia's fond hopes for
a championship team were rudely shat
tered, leaving Cynwyd, Merlon and Ger
mantown the real contenders. Cynwyd
would bo the favorite were It not for the
fact that the club, oxcept In a few matches.
will be minus the services of William T.
Tllden, 2d. Tllden plans to play In sev
eral of tho Important tourneys, but may
return for the critical matches near the end
of the month.
Merlon, minus Wallace Johnson, Craig
Diddle and William Clothier, will be In the
running to the nnlah. Johnson now is play
ing for Cynwyd, while Blddlo and Clothier,
as In the past, will be found among the en
tries In tha large and Important sectional
events. Last year Clothier played little
tennis, but was one of the first to enlist In
the preparedness camp at Plattsburg. Early
this season ne piayea In a few events and
he now believes that he can return to the
form of a few years ago, when he carried off
the all-comers at Newport,
The Germantown team la composed of
practically the same players who have
represented the Manheim organization In
tha past, saver only Tllden. Stanley Pear
son. Casper Wister, Newhalt et al. have
ranked for years among Philadelphia's lead
ing racqueters. and it would not be at all
surprising to And dermantown at the top
when the race Is over.
Qermantown at present Is leading the first
division, four matches won and one lost;
Cynwyd Is second with three won and two
lost; Philadelphia third with two won and
three lost and Belfleld fourth with a single
victory and four defeats. Merlon's first
raatcn win ne piayeu today, Philadelphia
2d team leads the second division, German
town la next, and Belfleld and Cynwyd are
tiea tor intra.
The Jap twain, however, won tha Central
States double title, which does not carry
.with it the right to play In tha national.
