MAXWELL SitorU KUllnr Kierlng luhllc 1-edger TN SPITE of the fact that they nre three Barnes behind the Boston Red Sox and that the old season will close up shop on I-abor Dor. the mem- pS , bera of the Cleveland baseball club are nil chock full of hope and are " certain thex will cop the flag In the American League. Tho chances for thti tv . are. remote, because the Cleveland club Is on the road, while tne ilea Sox not only are at home playlnR In Fenway Tark, but have at present the Browns for opponents. This means that unless the Red Sox crack badly In the last few days of the season the Indians have little chance to win out even If they play consistently good baseball. But baseball Is a queer old game and It Is possible that Trls Speaker and Joe- Wood, who have done the bulk of the offensive work for tho Indians all season, may cram on an extra head of steam and bat out enough victories to put the Red Sox under. It would be a great thing If Cleveland did win the scries. In the first place. It has never had a winner, and secondly the world series games could be more easily arranged be cause of the short traveling distance between Chicago and Cleveland. A In their recent game) the Indians hnve had excellent pitching. Ragby has been going well and so has Covelesklc. George McQulllcn, the ex Phllly hurler. Is now with the Clevelanders, but his work has not been as good as Lee Fohl had hoped it would be. Couinbe. Morton and Enzmann have been tossing consistent ball and to them belongs lots of credit for holding Cleveland up In the race under very trying conditions. The rest of the Cleveland team Is well balanced, but is not brilliant, either on the offense or defense. Doe Johnston has been working welt around the first sack, but his hitting has not been up to the. mark. Hitting Has Decided Many Contests IT IS very likely that Philadelphlans will see Trls Speaker and Joe Wood for the last time In baseball during the present series. Trls Is going Into the aviation corps nnd it H not likely that he ever will take up the pastime again, even If ho returns from the war uninjured. As for Joe "Wood, he is a veteran nnd will doubtless have outlived his usefulness by the time baseball again Is back on the map. The work of Joe Wood has been tho most remarkable of any player In tlttf game this season. He has been hitting far beyond anything that Fohl ever dreamed of and his fielding has been superb. Joe has shown that he can hold down an outfield position with the best in the business, and also can come Into the infield and play second in splendid fashion with out letting up in his hitting. The latest official averages show that Speaker Is hitting at a .320 clip and Wood at the rate of .303. The best part of tho hitting of both these players Is their ability to come through in the pinches. Time and ai?ain this season hits by Wood or Speaker or both have been the deciding . factors In Cleveland victories. Wood has not been decorated for superfluous base-stealing, but he U6es his head on the paths, which is a far greater asset than actual apeed. Trls has pilfered twenty-seven bases this season. With two such reliable long-distance hitters a club Is apt to bat itself out of a hole at any time and turn what seemed to be certain defeat into Victory. Fohl and tho fans .of Cleveland are depending on the ability of these players to push tho Red Sox out of first place. Both players are right at the top of their game, and it can be asserted with certainty that if the Indians do not win it will not be the fault ot these plavers. whose plrlt and ability have added so much to the power of the Cleveland club. Must Guard Against Substitutions BOXING promoters should guard against disappointments In the star bouts this season and take Immediate steps to protect the public. It frequently happens that one of tho principal contenders who has been advertised to appear In the wlndup is taken 111 or finds It impossible to fulfill his contract. The fans attend the match and at the last moment are told that a substitution has been made. The public does not approve of things like that and many of the spectators feel they have been victims of a bunco game. They place the blame on the management Instead of the boxer, who really is the guilty party. In some cases, however, the management makes a mistake In not announcing a substitution which probably was made three or four days before the fight. This, too, should not be allowed, as stunts like that injure the game. The 1918-19 boxing beason officially opens tonight at the National A. A. with the first .substitution of the year. Patsy Clinc, who was billed to meet George Chaney, says he is ill or Indisposed or something and cannot appear. He Is said to have been in good health on Monday, but on Tuesday his manager asked to call off the bout. The management of the National, Iri order to make sure, then sent a man to New York to see CUno, and after he had made his report Harry Pearce, of Brooklyn, was substi tuted. Matchmaker Pop O'Brien tried to get Rocky Kansas, Willie Jnckson and several others to meet the Baltimore slugger, but they wanted none of his game. Prarce, howe cr, who substituted for Jackson against Clino at the ball park a couple of weeks ago and made a great showing, was will ing to take the date and the match was arranged. Perftaps CHne really Is sick, but if such is the case his manager pulled a boner. After calling off the Chaney match Harry Pollok sent me a letter challenging Benny Leonard and stated that the lightweight champion was running: out of the match. It looks as if Cllne Is being saved for Leonard and no chances will be taken with any one else. If Chaney stopped Patsy the New Torker would be ruined as a drawing card. He could get more money with Leonard and a knockout would not be so bad. That's how it looks from here, and It would be a good plan to bar Cllne from all future bouts in Philadelphia until he fulfills his contract and boxes Chaney at the National A. A.

All of the races are exciting because there Is an element of risk and also considerable doubt from the start until the finish line Is crossed. There always aro plenty of accidents, such as punctures, blowouts, broken chains and the breaking down of the motor pacers. A rider may be leading by a mile and a slight accident will cost him the race. On Thursday night Carman, Sutter and Wiley performed In a fifty, jnllo race and It was exciting from the start. Sutter, who la one of the best riders In the country, was out to win, and Carman also had designs on the race. Wiley, too, had a good chance to cop. So the trio started out like a gang of firemen on a 4-11 call. It could easily be seen there was intense rivalry among the riders, for the first five miles were at a fifty mile an hour clip. That's traveling some on an ordinary bike, but the object was to kill off one ot the participants. Sutter was leading, but a puncture threw him behind. Wiley then Jumped to the front and set the pace until one of his tires went bad. In the meantime Carman plugged along without accident and Increased his lead until he was seven laps to the good. Then he had trouble. Jimmy Hunter's machine laid down and died and while a change was being mado the lead was cut down to three laps. Sutter tried hard to mako up the lost ground, but failed, and finished two laps behind. All of this was very exciting and many spectators left the track be lieving Sutter could beat Carman If he had the breaks. Tim Buckley, owner of the track, matched the pair for a race tonight to tettle th question of supremacy. Lawrenco will be the third man In the event, Ty Cobb Halted by Mack Hurlers TY COBB went on a batting rampage during the last week that endured for twelve consecutive games, when a pair of Athletic hurlers, Walson and Jamleson, halted him. ifurlng his stretch of hitting Ty came through with twenty-three hits In fifty-five tries for an average of .418, and also tallied nine runs.

LAWRENCE TO COMPETE Carman and Sutter Also in Forty Mile Race Tonight s"pw that Clarence Carman has found his winning stride he is out to equal Oeorge Wiley's mark, of five consecutive wins. Cnrmnn will be one of the three starters In the forty-mile motor-paced feature at the Point Breeze Motordrome tonight. Percy Lawrence, the Ameri can champion, will be here to make Car man's winning streak very brief. Paul Sutter, the Swiss sensation, also will be found when the hlg race starts. Kuttcr has ridden brilliantly In his Inst two races here, but tho old jinx has been on him. Last Saturday night .1 breakdown deprived Sutter of a win. and last Thursday night it was three blowoutB which did much to keep him In second place. Hutter has shown great speed In hla sprint efforts to cut down leads. With any kind of a break he should be dangerous tonight. Carman has partly recovered from tho Injuries he recehed a mop tit ago when he cracked his shoulder blade. His win Thursday night has done mucli to revive a waning spirit and ho Is out to show the boys the way this evening. Percy Lawrenco arrived this morning and was silent as to the outcome. He Is the champion and a modest one. Kopsky will take the place of Speedy Vandeberry In pacemaklng. Jimmy Hunter and Itody Lehman will be the other two pacemakers. Two motorcycle races and two ama teur cycle handicap events will precede the forty-mile feature. Athletics' Hurler Has Won Nineteen Games and Drop ped Seventeen SCOTT PEnrtY, the much-disputed hurler of. the Mackmen, has won and lost more games than any pitcher in the major leagues this season. His last win, when he threw the White Sox to defeat, made his sixth consecutive winning ef fort. Perry has won nineteen and lost seventeen games, for a percentage of .628 not a bad record for pitcher hurl ing for the tall-end Athletics. BATTINO AVERAGES ii aw ii. tr. sn. Av. Deseher.
