Sports Editor r.vrnlns 1'nbllr Ledger
SOME nervous persons novo predicted that the world scries will be a
terrible flivver this year and the magnates and National Commission
will find it difficult to make both ends meet. These gloom spreaders aro
croaking over the new rule which rocs Into effect this year regarding the
distribution of tho spoils anions the first four clubs In each league. Under
the recent arrangement tho winners of tho scries receive $2000 each and
tho losers $1400. Tho balance of the money shall be distributed as follows:
Fifty per cent to tho clubs finishing second, 30 per cent to third and 20
per cent to tho clubs in fourth place. Thus Pittsburgh, New York, Cin
cinnati, Cleveland, Washington and tho Yankees will como in for some
coin if there is any coin left to divide.
Thcro should bo no cause for worry over a shortage in receipts. True,
there has been a falling off In attendance in the regular league games of
late, but the crowds wlllturn out as of yore to see tho championship
series. The prices also have been reduced, but tho receipts will bo pretty
largo just the same. If tho attendance does fall off, however, somo one
will be stung, and It will not be, the players.
Thcro aro about forty players on both tho Red Sox and the Cubs who
are eligible for the series. That means $74,000 must be handed to them
to break even on that $2000 and $1400 basis. The attendance at the first
four games must bo very large to get away with that sum; but Chicago
always has been a good baseball town and tho bugs will turn out for tho
games. The same applies to Boston. Last year tho total receipts for the
six games wcro $425,878. Tho players' share was $91,841.07. Tho total
attendanco was 181.G63, or an average of moro than 31,000 at each game.
If tho attendance, averages 20,000 this year every one will make money.
.According to reports from Chicago, there is a heavy demand for
tickets and the first three games out there will bo well attended. A record
crowd also is expected at the first game in Boston, so where do the croak
ers get off?
Seven . ex-Philadelphia Players Will Be Eligible
THREE former Philadelphia laycra will be with tho Cubs in the big
series and, four ex-Athletics wUl be In the Boston line-up. KUlefer and
Paskert were with tho Phils 'and Charley Pick, the third baseman, played
with the Mackmen in 1016. Mclnnls, Strunk, Schang and Bush were sold
to the Red Sox last winter, and it looks as if Connie played a mean trick
on them with reverse English.

T O'Keefe Stopped by Six-Inch Punch
HERE was a very peculiar knockout at the Atlantic City Sporting Club
lasf night. There was a clinch and on the breakaway one of them
sank, to Whe floor. Before Referee Frank O'Brien had. an opportunity to
count thV; customary seconds a towel was tossed In the ring and it was
all over, j
This was the finish of the bout between Eddie O'Keefe and George
Chaney. For almost five rounds the men sparred beautifully and there
seemed to be no danger of injury on either side. Chaney devoted his entire
time to sparring Eddie, while he used a left Jab occasionally, kept his
eagle eyo on George'sjeft mauler, thus preventing early slumber. Taking
it 'all in all it was a nice' gentlemanly bout until the finish.
Some, of the spectators were able to describe the blow which sen?
the large crowd of fight fans back to the old fireside. They say it was a
short left to the body, which did not travel moro than six Inches, but had
a (kick like a lenc-range gun. It put Eddie on his back for keeps and
there was no chanco of his getting up. Because the blow could not be
seen by all, Including myself, the spectators did not take kindly to tho
.sudden ending. They wanted to have a look at the sleep-producing wallop.
O'Keefe boxed a game fighu and deserves much credit for his showing.
Ho was a million-to-one shot when he entered the ring, for Chaney had
him outclassed. In the first round there was little doing, but after that
Baltimore George was sending home body blows at short range and miss
ing left hook to the Jaw with reckless abandon.
O'Keefe knew he was in a losing fight, but gamely kept at it and
never backed away. Depending upon his rangy left, he was able to keep
Chaney at a distance until that clinch in the fifth round, when the body
. punch rang down the curtain.

Another largo gallery assembled for
the sixth day of the national singles
tennis championship this afternoon.
Weather conditions were unfavorable
from the standpoint of the contestants,
a gusty wind prevailing and the at
mosphere being heavy with humidity.
Lyle Mahan, of New York, and Ichlya
Kumagae were the first pair to take the
court, playing for the privilege of enter
Ing the semifinal round against W. T.
Tllden. 2d. of Philadelphia. The pair
opened slowly in the initial set, which
Mahan won at 6-4. Numerous errors
by both players contributed points to
their opponents.
Kumagae repeatedly passed Mahan at
the net, but the latter was able to cut
oft deciding points at critical stages of
the set.
The quality of the play Impro-ed In
the second set which Kumagae won at
6-3. The Japanese began to force the
pace and, gaining control of his strokes,
whipped the ball first to one side and
then tho other of Mahan for winning
points.
Kumagae won the third set at 6-0 due
to the New Yorker's repeated errors.
The Japanese was called upon to do no
more than keep the ball In action and
give Mahan the opportunity to net or
out It.

Bowling Notes
Knocking down the ten pins. Ilka all
other sports, requires constant practica. At
the early stages of the duck pin tourney
Manager Moss had some difficulty in con
vincing the tossrrs that the object of the
game was not only to smaah them down
hut also to be able to muke cever shot.
Just the rame as In pool or billiards. For In
stance a bad split with two up requires
science to top It the right way to earn the
spare. We notice recently aome vers difficult
atrlkes have been stretched Into spares by
clever manipulation of the small ball.
' W feel tery much encouraged at the
better showing made this week by not using
"blinds." Only two out of ths six teams
In Section "O" were forced to use them
end la this case both teams were rolling
against each other which was snuco for
goose as well as sauce for the gander.
However, the Sunahlne team, through the
efforts of Murray. Zelley and Chapln, car
ried them through to victory over the Key.
stone team.
When you bowl dress for tho occasion.
No one would go swimming In a tailored
suit, and It Is luat as Important to dress
for bowling as for any other sport. Above
all things, eliminate wearing street ahosi
on the alleys; they sre dangerous tand have
caused some bad spills.
A whirl 'around the bowling alleyaVof tho
c Ity by our bowling men has developed the
fact that the majority of .the bowling allejs

Reading Iron, 6; Transit, S
Readlnr. Pa.. Aug, 31. In a benefit gams
for th Red Cross at Circus Maxlmus hers
yesterday ths Reading Iron nosed out ths
Reading Transit and Light ln the ninth In
ning by n score of 0 to 3.
By WILLIAM H. EVANS
The man who wrote that the only
two certain and sure things In the world
were death and taxes must have been a
golfer. There was a mam named Jamie
Crossln playing In the open tournament
of the Golf Association, of Philadelphia
who was born In Irelan and moved to
Scotland when he was a baby so he
could learn to play golf-, whereupon
some one In the gallery wanted to know
how he got there. And a wag replied,
"By crossln'," Anyhow, this chap Cros
sln went.around yesterday morning In
72 and after his frst round In the after
noon of 40 he had two fours 4o tie for
the first place. Did he get them? He
did not. i
There was nnother ruddy-faced pro
from Atlantic City who needed a four
on the seventeenth to tie for first money,
but he tried for a three and got a five
and the best he' could get was third
place. There was another pro from Tor
resdale (where w'e get our water), arfd
In the afternoon he returned the fine
score of 35 and with a little luck he
would have had a 33. A 42 would have
put-htm In the money, but he could -not
get It. Tnere were otner instances ot
what might have been, but these will
suffice. '
Six men get Into the money and all
six were professional golfers. Only one
of the six was a home-bred and he split
fifth and sixth money with an Irishman,
An Englishman and an Irishman split first
and second money; Scotsmen won third
and fourth. Max Marston, who played
such brilliant golf Thursday, was no
ticeably tired yesterday, but even at
that he led the amateurs, who were well
down the list. But both -he and Wilfred
Reld, the IVHmlngtoirprorwho was' also
shut out, will 'receive prizes for their
fine rounds of the day before, when the
committee decided to call off the tourna
ment to prevent a few small caddies
from being drowned on the greens. And
Crossln, with his fine score of 72, .earned
a ten-spot for having played the best
round of the day. ,
