Affairs Up in the Air THE annual championship games of tho Amateur Athletic Union, Instead of being held during tho first weeks of September, as usually is tho case, prob ably will be fought out this year along about the middle of August. The fact that Uncle Sam will bo busy making his first selections for an army to whip the Germans at the time the national athletes usually are doing things Is the reason. Three-fourths of the most prominent men in both divisions of tho union arc eligi ble to tho draft and they are expected to respond promptly to tho call. Holding a meet In that event would be llko a world's series with the rival umpires from each league doing nil tho playing as well as the talking The East still Is favore.d for the location of tho games. It doesn't seem at nil probable that St. Louis will rally and decide to hold the games regardless of war conditions. Chicago and Phlladalphia both are in tho field for tho contests nnd other cities aro bidding Agitation for the continuation of sports In splto of tho war Is having its effect In the A. A. U. The decision to give medals Instead of tha proposed certificates may be expected at any time. Interest, it has been found, Is Just as keen now as at any time War Is detracting nothing from tho popularity of the knights of the cinder path. It had been decided to give only certificates of victory for this year, In the belief that the war would claim so many men that a real championship event would not be patriotic. Just the opposite hos been found to bo tho case. Tho certainty -with which various college officials have expressed themselves, added to the declaration of President Wilson that he favored the continuation of games, Is having Its effect. Sports aro going to be upheld If It is at all possible. Tho tentative decision to hold the national games earlier this year Is only one Indi cation of tho direction tho eastern fan's mind Is following. FOOTBALL Is going to have lots of supporters before time comes for tho referees to start action, If announcements of Intentions to keep play going are to be credited. I Bobby Jones Given Honor Place in Western Golf Play GREAT interest attaches to he big Western Golf Association open amateur championship play, the qualifying round of which starts today. More than 120 players are entered from all parts of the country, the leading representatives from the East being Francis Oulmet nnd his links friend, Jesse Guilford, of Boston. Ked Sawyer, of. Bob o Link, will play around with Oulmet. and .Albert Seckel, a Chloago crack, will accompany Guilford. One of the star features of the big engagement will be the appearance of the noted team of kids from Atlanta,- Including Bobby Jones, tbe fifteen-year-old marvel, present southern tltlefiolder. Master Jones shares tho Honors In leading the qualifying play, being paired In the favored role with James D. Standlsh, Jr., of Detroit, former western champion The second pair consists of Thomas Pres cott, another Atlanta youngster, nnd Kenneth P. Edwards, well-known Chicago player. Tho big regret of the tournament Is the absence of Chick Evans and Bob Gardner, two present leading links exponents of the western section. Evans pleaded business and Gardner has retired for patriotic service. Extra pains were taken by the tournament committee to pair entering players according to temperament and ability. The youngsters from the South are all doubled with steady, careful and fast plaers, because as a rule tho boys hurry through their matches and are Inclined to be upset If a partner uses up too much time studying a hazardous putt or a keen approach. It ! a truly great field, with golfers from every section of the country entered, R. A Habjht and C E. Van VJeck, Jr., are the New York representatives. J. S. Worthlngton, of Sunnlngflale, England, -who has been In this country for some tma ori business, will take part and Is paired with George W Adair, father Of l"rry Adair and chaperon of tho four Atlanta (Go.) youngster who aro entered. some hard luck.

Sing your song of summer for the liarvest of tho field, The magic wealth of nature and the bounty of her yield; Sing of rills, rock-fretted, where the ever singing streams " Ripple in their music through the land of golden dreams; Sing ye of its roses, of its daisied fields of white, 0 The sweetness of its morning and the splendor of its night; Far echo of all its wonders 6tet the song that goes for mine i Is the corn upon the coblct and the melon on the vine. DnsriTn Cobb's wild rush through Juno and early July, when he sallied forth upon bis famous batting rampage, there Is hardly a chance that he villi equal his greatest campaign back In 1D11 Six years ago Ty delivered the greatest assault ever known In baseball In his 1D11 c ampnlgn Cobb smashed all records by scor ing 147 runs, making 218 hits In 140 gnmes Tho record of 147 runs nnd 24S lilts In n season has never been equaled, nor even approached So far Cobb has Just passed tho 100 hit mark and has scored In tho neighborhood of fifty runs In a trifle more than seventy games In tho eighty-odd gnmes that re main he must pound out more than HO lilts and f.coro moro than 100 runs to climb up to his 1011 peak. This can be done but it Is well beond probability unless T can maintain bis Juno and early July spurt the rest of tho way. This will call for a batting average tho remainder of tho sea son around 450. Yet for tbe last six weeks ho has been up around 460 in one of tho most remarkable demonstrations ever known. The Red Sox In the West Tho lied Sox are now facing nn lmport nnt tour through the West Heretofore thev have plajed their best ball In the western country, nnd it is there they havo nluna fought their hardest. If they maintain their old standards on this trip nnd stick around the crest, they must still bo considered pennant favorites, as for the last two jears they havo done nil their bpst work from tho start of the stretch The club starts West In flno con dition, well placed in the race It has not been called upon to bear tho burden of pacemaklng which Is n burden In n pennant race. Just as It Is any other sort of run ning Tho White Sox look moro formidable this season than they havo over looked before, but they still have a fine ball club to beat, a club that undoubtedly will bang on to the finish Tho sprint between these two Is suro to be the season's leading feature.
