Phils in Lead by Forty Points PAT MORAN and his pace-setting Phils are going through tho West like a house aflre. Getting off to a poor Btart, dropping a pair In New York and Pittsburgh, tho league leaders have pulled themselves together, and since leaving fbo borne pasture have won five nnd lost tho quartet mentioned. Alex lost one In New York, but got a win at Pittsburgh, turned back the Cubs in tho opener at Chicago and yesterday beat tho Cards by 4 to 1. Rlxey beat PhJl Douglas In tho duel at Weeghman Park, while Ersklno Mayer copped a box ecore In Plratovllle. When tho Phils opened wlth tho Giants at tho Polo Grounds on Decoration Day morning they were In first place. Two defeats In one day put McGraw and -k!s clan on the top of the heap. They held first position until Thursday of last week, when tho Phils won at Chicago while tho the Giants were losing to Cincinnati. Previous to tho games Memorial Day tho Phils had won twenty-one - and lost ten. They, have now played 'forty games, scoring twenty-six victories 7,to fourteen defeats and are a good forty points in front. :' "Lord" Byron, tho hummingbird "ump" and his partner, Ernie Qulgley, were J.Verjr much in evidence at the Phils' game In SU Louis yesterday. His Highness la wearing a dark clot In the vicinity of his proboscis as a result of Jawn McGraw" inability to control his patience. Yesterday's trouble started on a de cision by "Qulg" in the third inning. Jack Smith, who previously had made a homer off Grovor, lined a ball over Davy Bancroft's thinking apparatus, Pas Vart covered un on the ball, and in the nlav at second the St. Louts fans flcriirerl $L that Smith was safe. Umpire Qulgley decided that he was out and received a pan- l. xing. Jack was certain ho was safe sure of it to such an extent that he was red from the pastlmlng. The fans had it in for Qulgley for presenting their .vorta with the tinware. Bert Nteboff caught one on tho nose and pulled up at .Third. Qulgley taking up his position on the third-base foul line. It was the signal vier action, and the St. Louis fans lived up to their reputation. Pop bottles of all 4Mcriptions, papers,, hats and missives galore were thrown at the umpire, Byron, who was behind the plate, borrowed the groundkeepera megaphone and attempted to toll, the Card, fans that unless they discontinued disfiguring the diamond he would call the gam and forfeit the box-score to the Phils. Police finally rushed tot the rescue and the grounds were made presentable. ,. Qirtgtay WM 'not kit W any of the fan' firs.

Lightweight King Wants Bout at 135 Pounds, While Clevelander Insists on 133 'niOLLOWING the announcement last Saturday that Johnny Kllbane had signed "" to box Benny Leonard twelve rounds at Canton, O., on July 4 for tho 3mall aura of $1000 per round, or 112,000 for his share, came another announcement piuch more startling that tho match, If it over was held, would take place In Phila delphia within the next month. In other words, the Canton stuff has been labeled jure and unadulterated bunk and should not bo taken seriously. At least, that is the impression we gained after conversing with James V. Dougherty, Lelpervllle's ' most famous baron, who returned to the city last night after visiting Kllbane In Cleveland. The baron declares that Kllbane has consented to box Leonard hero , . any old time ho pleases, and tho sooner tho better. The only thing flow necessary la Leonard's consent and clgnaturo to tho well-known papers. "I have in my pocket," declared Dougherty, na ho placed his hand In tho 1 proximity of his qulot but highly Illuminated diamond monogram on his watch chain, "a set of articles duly signed and accepted by Johnny Kllbane, featherweight champion of the world. These articles call for n six-round bout between tho Cleveland boy and Benny Leonard, lightweight champion, to bo held in Philadel phia in tho ncor futuro for tho largest purse ever offered for a short-distance no declslon bout In the history of boxing. I talked things over with Kllbnno and ho accepted my terms. Leonard nnd his manager, Billy Gibson, havo paid nothing, nor can I get any statement out of them. I am ready to post the money right bow, but will havo to wait until I hear something definite from New York, I havo an idea that Leonard is not so anxious as he said to meet Johnny and will try. bard to dodgo tho bout, T WON'T nnnounco tho amount of tho purso at this time, but you can tako It from mo that every ono will bo surprised when they nro told. All that I can say Is that It will bo an open-air show, and If Leonard signs It will take placo somo tlmo within tho next month." Biggest Match That Could Be Arranged and Jiang Would Attend A MATCH between Leonard and Kllbano Is tho biggest thing on tho pugilistic card today, and no doubt will draw an enormous gato no matter whero It is hold. Tho managers know It and so do tho boxers, but they Insist on gumming things up for a couplo of weeks beforo doing anything. It was tho samo when Willard signed to box Frank Moran and nit other big matches In tho post. Big Jess held out as long as ho could, evidently to get moro publicity and ho got it. In thll coso It Is not necessary to do that. It Is tho most Important battle that could bo arranged and everybody soon would bo talking about It. According to tho dopo spilled by rlngsldo critics, Leonard will not consent to meet tho lighter man at 133 ringside and that Is tho principal dllllculty. Tho light weight champion has not said this, but some of tho wise persons believe It Is tho only thing that is holding things back. Kllbano will not agreo to any weight nbovo 183 pounds, which Is tho legitimate lightweight limit, as ho would enter the ring weighing not more than 126 and could not afford to glvo away too much weight to a man of Leonard's ability. Ho is stepping out of his class to meet ono of tho best men In tho world, and asks nothing but that which is legitimate. Ho has started training and will bo In shapo in thrco weeks' for tho battio of his life If K la ever held. KJXBAND has a reason for mooting Benny at this tlmo. In his quiet, unostentatious way ho la preparing to answer tho call of his country and will Join tho army whon ho is called. Although ho has a wlfo, two children and a blind father dependent upon him, ho waived exemption, saying that It was his duty to fight for tho pcoplo who havo paid monoy to see him fight. Leonard, too, says ho will onter the service, and for that reason an parly date Is desired. McGrao Deserved Suspension for Fight With Byron THE banishing of Jawn McGraw Is one of tho most popular acts performed by President Tener slnco ho took chargo of tho National League. Muggsy had It coming for a long time, nnd hud this Incident passed unnoticed thero Is no telling what ho would havo done beforo tho reason closed. Tho manager of tho Giants Is a scrappy Individual and has as much control of his temper ns Elmer Myers of his fast one. Ho Is continually talking back to tho spectators and easily loses his head. In St. Louis recently he got In bad with tho management and President Branch Rickey sent a complaint to Tener. According to a story from St. Louis, the language used by McGraw and hla men on the field was so vulgar that each ' cay dozens of women left the grand stand hStoio tho gamo was finished. Fletcher, Herzog and Zimmerman were the prime talkers each afternoon nnd McGraw mndo himself conspicuous each Inning by arguing with tho umpire. But the worst slam of all comes from Cincinnati. Tho Itov. Frederick X. McMlllln, ono of tho most widely known ministers In tho city, has tho following to say: "McGraw nnd the ways of McGraw should be put out of tho gamo forever. I aw tho decisions over which McGraw became so enraged. They were fair nnd proper decisions. They wero not even close decisions, and thero was not a shadow of an excuso for McGraw to lose his head. Ho was simply whipped; his ball club was being outgamed and outplayed. A toleration of such proceedings will drivo respectable persons nway from tho ball parks and set tho game back to tho days f rowdyism and discredit." IT IS said hat Byron Is ono of tho most aggravating umpires in tho leaguo, but that Is no excuso for mucker baseball. McGraw Is a hard , loser and, like other managers and oven football coaches, seeks to nllbl his defeats by blaming the umpire. It's a weak, childish system to follow. The Athletics Get Good Pitching and Play Good Ball WITH good pitching Connie's Athletics play like champions, but when tho twlrlers go bad tho team has every appearance of a back-lot aggregation. The locals were treated kindly by the moundsmen last week nnd copped the aeries from St. Louis, two games to one. Tho first was a swatfest and tho Macks breezed homo far In tho lead; but Saturday Jlng Johnson twirled superb ball nnd held the enemy at bay long enough to allow his playmates to shove ncross tho winning run. Connie's pitching staff Is not as strong as It might bo. Noyes looks good, as do Schauer, Johnson and occasionally Falkenbcrg, but tho others with tho exception of Bush are very cad. Joe Bush, by tho way, Is laid up with a severe cold and may not be In tho gnmo for another woek. This will weaken tho club considerably, especially now that Detroit and Ty Cobb nro with us for a few grimes. If Mack could sign a couple of good twlrlers now his club would oon vacate the cellar and begin a hard drive for tho first division. The war map of the American Leaguo has been changed and tho White Sox of Chicago are roosting on tho summit In placo of the wearers of tho red hoso from Bawston. Detroit's victories over Barry's men nnd the Chicago victories In Philadelphia and Washington were responsible for tho change. Chicago has a great ball club and on paper looks as strong as tho Giants. Tho men are good players, but to date something has been lacking. They do not play consistently and it has been said that their "Inside baseball" Is extremely sad. But they have sained the top and this may spur the men to greater efforts.

Xo other advance verdict could have been rendered under the laws ot the pure food dope Tho mistake was mndo In entering afore said Olants ns certain winners, sure-thing champions or pennant cinches. naseball knows no cinches.

Who wns to t-top them? Apparently no one. nut the fact remains that, at tho end of the first week In Juno, they wero not In first place. It must be admitted that tho Giants nro still pennant favorites. They OUGHT to win. Hut It Is no CINCH that they will. They havo a fine ball club Hut it isn't a hall club with any nerpowcrlng force Once bnck home, they faco a matter of ten or twehn double-headers. Suppose the pitch ing staff Isn't Just right along this stretch? Suppose It caves In as It did over two long It crohahtn ... But a probability is not 100 ner r. T talnty. w" The Giants' main rivals are prettr r (. be the Phillies. You don't hw any -V.? amount of chatter about Phllly stremrtn nut consider this: Tho Phillies won tk. pennant in 1916. In 1916 they came wlthil a lean deuco of winning again. In tie stretch they beat their main rivals, Bronv lyn, seven out of the last eight games Po, three seasons now they have either U,l first or within a short hair-Jump of the ten? They hao remained up there, glvlnc daii. battle, hustling and fighting. They doni look to be ns strong as tho Giants. Bnt they nre Just tho type of ball club to grlnl along and be prepared for any rival siuranT Tor they nre fairly sure of pretty raSt pitching right along and this is oulte . factor H They nro no brilliant delegation, but thir can nmhle serenely along and beat most ef the other clubs about as often as tho Glanti can If they should happen to get a nti of Giant-killing with Alexander, Lavender nnd rtixey at top form, posslhlllty of GJnt failure might become a serious matter with thoso who havo wagered even money mse. rlly that tho Giants would win. The Olii Game It li such in the way of bizarre deuii that makes baseball what It is. The Oil Game has a habit of permitting experts insiders and such to pick out cinches and then crash In with a stunning unset. Thn biggest cinch that McGraw ever fnred' wns in 1906 After winning a WOrli chnmplonshlp In 1905 ho hnd his great club ready for tho 1006 romp. It was a cinch. Yet he finished cither third or fourth that year When yon havo a machine composed of twelve or sixteen humnn beings, It may become at any moment a moat Intricate, delicate affair. There Is the matter of accidents, injuries hnrd luck, temperament. Last season the' Giants lost thirteen out of their first fifteen games. Then exactly tho- same llne-up won nineteen out of the next twenty-one. This llne-up was not the same as that now operating for tho Manhattan cause. But It Included Burns, Robertson.
