Rr IVa'8 THE season rolls nlong and the finish lino in the his
fcS1 TiiQ- irngue prnnnnt derby appears in the dim llstanro,
EliH thh favorites are settling down for the iinnl drhe in the
Ri Jfimmixtrviph. In lhi American League, n horse not n
' ' dark one, but pure white Is attracting lots or attention
(X VndJs becoming n renl nieniice. This nnlmnl, whleh Is n
tricU, Wiy of introducing the t liicngn u line ros. is gei
tfiig moro dangerous every day nnd it riRht on the heels
ifthc Ynnkees nnd Cleveland.
u,' "For the lirct time this enr the 1I10 pennunt winners
end world scries lowers urn being c-onidered M-riously.
They have diluted into third pliu-e and are re-ting easily
Avlillc Cleveland and New York are Hghting it out niiiong
thcraMlvcR. Thin is the oft stiot In the lenguc at prexent,
nnd If the Sox ean cta.v theie for a time they will mako
things interesting.
"I ntn perfectly satisfied with present conditions, said
Bill Glcason when ho was here last week. "t don't
wnut to step out in front, but "tick right In third place.
If wc can go along for three more weeks without running
Into any hard luck we then will ! in n position to make
a final sprint and knock 'cm dead. I think the Chicago
club Is the best in the league."
Other managers share (leiison'- belief levelund is
not paying much attention to New York, hut the work of
the White Sox is closely followed. The pilots in the
Johnson elreuit suddenly have realized Hie sMcngth of
' the Chicago aggregation, and imui already are picking
Oltason'H club to win the Hag. Kven the two reverses
at the bands of the White Sox in the hist two days have
noticaused them to change their opinion
The reason for this is the pitching stalf. At the start
( "irt tho season the Sox slingert were In a very had way
' And many games were lost. Cicotte was out for a month;
-Kcfr couldn't get into condition and the other worked
so hard nnd so often that they lot their effectiveness.
'Williams alone vn able to stand the gaff.
ov Cicotte is back and won his ln-t sn'n games.
Bed Fabcr looks like he did in ll17 and the 'llig l'nc"
meaning Cicotte. Williams, Fabcr. Kerr and Wilknson
are rolling along nice and prcttj. These aie nmit
pitchers and were. responsible for the remarkable spurt "f
the champions last year. Now, with a powerful attack,
consisting of Jackson, Eddie Collins, Felsch. Weaver and
Murphy, anything is likely to happen. The present enes
in New York will give one n better line on their chancw.

Indians Set Fast and Dizzy Pace
IT ISN'T an easy thing to step out in front nnd main
tain n fast, di7.7.y pace for three months, playing n
hard ball game every day. CUveland has done this, and
while the club still looks good, the plajers are beginning
to show effects of the strain.
However, the Indians have been playing under the
best conditions, for none of the stars has been laid up as
yet. At one time it looked ns if Doc .Johnston would have
n rn nn the sidelines to rest his ancient less, but Sneaker

One of' the mysteries of linseball is Tris Speaker, Ho
not only has to manage the club, with all of the cares
and worries of the job, but also is out there every day,
playing n wonderful game in center field. He is batting
aronnd .400. nnd to the spectator in the grand stand looks
like nn ordiun:.9hlayer who has nothing on his mind but
his rap
However, Spoke is not so happy as he should be.

believe me. I am getting more than my share." .
Hut Speaker is not the one to crack uuder the Mrain.
He is an able leader and a good lighter, nnd will be bat
tling hard to the end.
The pitching staff is one weakness on the New York
club, but the sluggers have been knocking in so many
inns that it hasn't. been apparent to ninny. The side
which scores the most runs ulays wins the game, nnd a
liVto-l.'l score counts jut as much as n l-to-0 victory.

lurky this year. 'Or it mwht br labc lhtih't fault. t
Here's a good om hit l itnrt an argument.
iew Pitching Hides Help the Batter
TIIKHK has been a hit of talk about the big hatting
averages in the American League. Somo believe It
is because of a livelier baseball, while others say the
pitching has not been so good as in previous years. Dor
Johnston, the Cleveland first .acker, has n theory all
his own. ' , , ; ,,
"It is the new pitching rule that helps the batter,
says Doc. "This vear. with the shiner, emery nnd dls
colored balls thrown dut of the game, the batter hns nn
easier time ut the plate. It is not so hard to follow n
new ball after it leaves the pitcher's hand. Yon enn set
yourself for a fast one or a curve, while Inst yenr, when
the discolored hall was allowed, oti didn't have a chance
until the bail was on top of win
"The new pitching laws have helped the gnnic because ,
the hitting has Improved. I do not beliec the balls arc
any livelier than Inst jear."
Our Phils Are Off nn a Streak

streak, or something like that Two victories in n
feat nccomiilishcl bj (itivvy and his
Cravnthlans, both coming over the St. I.ouls Cnrdlnuls
nnd on successive dajs. As m Satin day. it was n ninth -inning
break that carried the l'hil. under the wire yes
terday. It was n case of a pitcher winning his own ball
game, It being a perfectly good and interesting pitchers'
battle, wdien I.ee Meadows, he of the .pees and rlght-nrm
delivery, bent out a dinky infield tap. and while Ihe be
spectacled athlete was hurrying to fut ahead of the ball
Irish Mcus.p1 gallivanted home. Tin- gae the Phillies
their secoud run of the day and a --U 1 victory.

I recall in one cup berics a dreary
spell of mnie thnn five weeks before the
cup wns finally won.
The report that in event of loslne
Sir Thomas will ncaln challcnzi- for
the cup is nither untimely. lie hasn't
lost this series yet. If he docs lose it,
the finest opinion we will be able to
collect on the subject will, I think, con
tend that it would be fnr better were
Sir TluTmas lo step aside nnd give some
other Rriton a banco. There can be
a case of "too much Johnbon" in sport
ns in other phnscs of life.
While no definite announcement was
mnde this morning nt Sandy Hook,
where the Resolute nnd Shnmrock are
waiting for the resniling of the 6ccond
race of the America's Cup series, there
seemed every renson to bcllcvo thnt
tho man who will steer the challenger
in tomorrow's race j3 Cnptain Diaper,
of the twonty-thiee-metre Shnmrock,
and one of the best professional Bkip
pers in England.
Sir Th'omas. ever since his experience
with ''Wicked Willie" Jnmlesoii, has
inclined toward professional balling mas
ters, particularly inasmuch as tho best
linildling n challeucer inei received In
an America's Pup race was done by
Cnptain Sycamore. sailiiiK master o'f
Shamrock II. Aside from Captain
Diaper, other candidates are Colonel
Neill nnd the designer, Mr. Nicholson,
who. from expressions of opinions con
cerning Diaper's ability which I heard
mm utter some time ago. would prob
ably be quite willing to let honors go
to the professional.

deserve it.
Not Yet
rpHE general verdict has been. offered
to the efTeet Hint Ty Cobb has lost
his place nt the fop.
Among the few who refuse to accept
this verdict is Mr. Cobb himself. Slsler,
Speaker, Jackson and others hnve piled
up n big margin, but Cobb can only
remember that he has beaten them it 11
bflforo year after yenr.
Four or five years ago, when Speaker
was lending the-league, he enmc to the
last two weeks with n margin of ,!0
points nt bat. Even then Cobb refusert
to concede Hie loss of his leadership.
He fought It out to the final lilt, but
Speaker refused to weaken.
This seasoif Cobb cot off to n slow-
i start and n bit later hnd a kneecap
tossed nut of gear. Rut since his return
he hns been slowly hut steadily hoisting
himself among the elite.
There nre still somcthingsllkc sixty

games it isn't likely thnt nny one is
going to boat Cobb by finishing below

The Sport of Presidents
RACING may be the sport of kings,
but golf is the sport of Presidents
nnd those who nre willing to be elected
if enough voters feci tho snmo way
nbout'lt.
Tenuis and boxing ended 'as presiden
tial sports when President Roosevelt
served his Inst term.
When Willinm Howard Taft came in
the mnshic, the brnsslc and the niblick
supplanted the racket nnd the boxing
glove.
President Wilson maintained golf ns
the White House sport.
And now we hnve action photos of
Senator Ilnrding and Governor Cox nil
taken with golf clubs poised in midair,
either upon the fairway or somewhere
over in the mottled leather.
Which Is sufficient Indication thnt
golf is to serve its fourth term ns the
presidential relaxation. Golf hns
reigned now for twelve years as the
leading sport of the nations first citi
zen, with at least four years more
nhcad. The time may come when a
presidential candidnte will have to sfate
in ndvadce whether he favors the closed
or the open stance, the Vardon or the
V grip before he can even be nominated.
