THIS IS LAST DAY FOR NATIONAL
. MANAGERS TO MAKE INTER-LEAGUE
TRADES FOR 1920 HOME STRETCH
1TJHEN curfew tolls tonight lu the National League
' ' two baseball clubs, entitled Cincinnati and Brooklyn,
will heave long sighs of relief nnd get nil" pepped up for
the finale of the pennant race, which Is ncarlng the home
stretch. Another club, known throughout the land as the
New Tork Giants, will do likewise, but the sigh of relief
probably will bc.lacklng.
Today Is August 20 nnd, perhaps, looks like any other
dyt but don't you believe It. A lot Is likely to hnppen
Wore nightfall, for ft Is the last chnnce for National
Lcaguo managers to put over some interleague trades.
That Is, a player cannot be purchased or traded by one
club from another unless waivers arc osked and every
body has an equal chance.
New York is fighting for the pennant nnd is weak at
second base. McGraw has offered as high ni $200,000
for Rogers Ilornsby. of St. I,oul, but Hrnneli Itickey
has not been anxious to talk business. It has been ru
mored that the manager of the Giants has gone further
than that and, in addition to the bundle of coin, offered
thrco of his best players. For n time it looked as if
Ilornsby was slated for the Gotham gang, but unless the
transaction is finished today there will be nothing doing.
This rule prohibiting interleague trades after August
20 was passed at the meeting in Chicago last Februnry.
The object was to prevent the pennant -contending clubs
from bolstering their line-ups y purchasing stars from
the weaker teams. With n good chance to enter the world
series, a manager could afford to go the limit to get the
men he wanted.
New York was feared from the start, for MiGraw
will spend money with a lavish hand when he getn started.
Cincinnati and Ilrookljn. virtually standing pat with their
present line-up, had visions of running into ome tough
battles If the Ilornsby transaction was put ucros. Now
they can resume their offensive with nothing to fear, for
all of tho cards of the Giants arc on the table, face up.
THE American League rule icent into effect on
July 1 and one manager forgot allobout it. Ho
teas ready to purchase a star first haseman, but the
deal teas not completed in time. Sow he must trait
until next year. Wouldn't it be strange if the same
thing happened in the yationalf
Clubs Are Bolstering for Finish
HOWEVER, all of the major league clubs are bolster
ing their rosters for the last month of the season.
Scouts are combing the bushes nil over the United States
and Canada and huge'balcs of kale are being exchanged
for players.
The minors this year are running on all cylinders and
a lot of youthful talent is being developed. More than
fifty rookies have been signed thus far and the returns
are not in yet.
Washington takes the brown derby when it oome.s to
dishing out the dough. limine parted with 515.000 to lure
Frank Brower from Reading. This is the. highest price
paid thus far, although McGraw came close on Wednes
day when he purchased Pitcher Pat Shea from the Toronto
club for 12,000. Connie Mack paid s-oincthing like $M)00
for Frank Walker, nnd ?o000 sales have been quite
common.
The Phils have purchased n catcher named Peters
By ROBERT W. MAXWELL
Sports Editor Ermine robllc Itdser
from Blrmlnghnm, and this young man Is said to be ono
of the classiest performers In the minors.
Billy Doyle, who once was with the Phils nnd now is
Inhering for Detroit, said be never saw so nlany promising
athletes in the minors.
"I have signed nt least two doten youngsters thus
fnr' said Doyle, "nnd expect to get nt least n dozen
more before the season ends."
President Vccck, of the Cubs, wants nt least fifty new
men from the minors nnd Js busy signing contrncts. Al
in nil, it looks as if thcro would be many new faces In
the line-ups this year.
' AS THE minor league seasons end next month,
many of the new men will have a chance to
show what they can do in fast company.
Great Finish Expected by Mack
THERE was no baseball yesterday because of the muddy
condition of the dinmond at Shlbe Park. Two games
will be played today if the moisture doesn't crab the act.
The White Sox will positively appear in both numbers.
While a slight drizzle fell on the ball yard, Conuie
Mack snt In his office in the turret nnd said n few words.
Connie always talks on rainy afternoons.
"The bnll club Is getting together nt last," he saia
happily. "We nro beginning to look like a big league
team, nnd I believe we will make 'a great finish. Shnn
non Is n much improved player and is doing well nt short,
and Joe Dugan is n wonderful third bnseman. Joe plnys
t tint hot corner like n star and will make the others sit
up nnd take notice before the ccason Is over. Jimmy
Dykes is a great second bnseuinu. nnd I am dntlsfied with
Griffin nt first.
"Griffin Is beginning to hit nnd I am confident he will
come through. I will not sell or trade him, for he looks
too good out there. Ills fielding is superb and his only
weakness is nt bat. .
ttJJITTERS aro-not developed in one year. Tale
Me cose of Jimmy Dykes as an example. We
kept him for four years before he icas able to take
his place in the regular line-up. The same thing is
likely to happen to Griffin."
Game of Leapfrog in Outlaw Leagues
THE jumpers are jumping. Once they formed the habit
it was impossible to curb It. Early tills season Jim
McAvoy. who was sent to Baltimore by the A's, refused
to report nnd jumped to Lebanon in the Steel I.engue.'
After sticking there for n while the catcher jumped to
Oil City.
Walter Kinney" turned down a good contract which he
had signed with the AN nnd took it on the run for
Franklin. Pa. Now he has jumped to New Castle, an
other outlaw club.
This is the tip-off on independent outlaw baseball.
Big league players, tempted by higher salaries and soft
jobs, take the high dive only to regret It later. Theri
can be no discipline on those clubs nnd baseball cannot
be played without it. They say Kinney was unable to
win n game with Frauklin, and that caused him to flop
again.

1000 Some Weeks
The rourse is taking care of almost
on unbelievably large number of
players. All records will be smnshed
this year at tho present rate. It is n
poor week when 1000 colferR do not
play from Monday to Friday sunet this
season. The number of Saturdays and
Sundays run nn average of close to ooO
on each of these days.
At the uatlonnl open, there wan n
field of 2."4 players. They were started
at intervals- of four minutes in pair,
the first going away at 7 a. in., the last
at ."i:12 p. in.
Tho record day at Cobbs Creek this
year N said to be closo to -ItlO. Figure

than the experts did nt the national in
n given day. The start is nt fl a. m. on
the busy days and at Ti o'clock tho
starter's "fore" is still going strong.
In all this inspiring parade of golfers,
ninny line players have been developed.
Hamilton Starred
It. r. Hamilton was the "wizard"
of the course last year, hut this season
he's not had as much time to put in,
though it hasn't detracted much from
his game. His style used to be his
own, but now he's working out a system
more nccording to "Hoyle. and should I
he a terror once he gets a Vardon swing
nicely spliced into his own deft marks-
mniiship. ' S
Hob I'enrce, the far-hitting star out
there, is still going strong, and vlthi
Chnrlie Ilennlek, these three would S
make a formidable combination out
there. I E

average of eighty-two strokes. lie was s
able to get to the third tee before he
had to hesitate before the frilling night. 5
Lincoln Roat won the championship
of the fourteenth hole n few dajs ago ,
when his teo snot lauded tnc green nnd
hobbled right into the hole, for the
coveted "holc-in-one." Xormnn Mc
P.ean, not the Old York Road playej-, h
another start at the course.
Tho players at Cobb's Creek regret
that more of the tournament stars do
not play the course. They are curious
to see what these players would score
over the dips and rises, the rocks and
rills, creeks and other bodies of water,
and all the other natural impedimenta
there.
The Philadelphia Golf Club holds its
competitions over the course over the
week-ends and helps along the competi
tive spirit.
The mnin nction nt Cobb's Creek to
day will be when the enddy team meets
a similar "five-man" tenm composed of
caddies from Old York Hoad. The
municipal team will bo as follows; H.

neighborhood of eighty-nine which is
considerable of a feat out there.
By the end of tho season the attend

pected to leaeb 70,000. And that is a
lot of golf, for one course. .

By GRANTLAND KICK
OTAMINA means something more
J than mere ability to keep moving nt
top speed.
It means something more than physi
cal control.
Stamina, or tho lack of It, also has a
direct effect vpon one's judgment.
Tho contender who is worn down
might still go the route In n physical
way, but his judgment is no longer the
same.
When Ilnrry Vardon was breaking
under tho weight of fifty years nnd the
long, hard grind of six successive rounds
ho played safe at the twelfth hole, where
he might have carried the ditcli nnd took
a chanco nt tho seventeenth where tho
chance was slim. But he wns so pois
oned by weariness and fatigue that the
certainty nnd sUrcncss of his judgment
wns no longer to bo trusted. A pitcher,
worn out, may still be able to get
enough stuff on the ball, but his tiring
brain may easily fail to select tho nropcr
choice for tho waiting batsman.
Not Yet
IN 1000 Ilnrry Vardon nnd J. II.
Tnvlor came to our onen-colf cham
pionship nnd finished 12.
In 1013 Vardon nnd Ray tied for first
place, finally finishing 23.
In 1020 Vnrdon nnd Rny against
come, over nnd finish 1 2.
There is no eoing behind the returns.

tho third ocension.
Until American homebreds can win n
British championship nnd hold British
invaders in check over here, wo mwt
admit their superiority nt tho ancient
game. If we won't admit it tho gencrnl
results will do the admitting for us.
Bagby Lends
J 151 BAGBYj of Cleveland, Is still
the best pitcher of the year. He has
carried the big brunt of Speaker's pitch
ing campaign with five more victories
thnn any other man fn cither league.
Back of Bagby come Alexnnder, of
Chicago; Covcleskic, of Cleveland:
Shocker, o St. Louta: Grimes, of
Brooklyn ; Cooper, of I'itsburgh ;
Vnughn. of Chicago, nnd Fnbcr, of the
White Sox.
The fates here came to Kid Glrason's
aid. When Cicotte slipped a bit with
the shine ball nbolished. Red Fabcr
stepped in where n year ago he was of
no moro use thnn n bat bag.
Tho Forlorn Hopo
TY COBB has worked his way back
to .3-10, but he is still n far dis
tance back of Speaker, Sislcr, Jackson
and Ruth.
Ono or two of these may slip, but it
is hardly probable that the entire qunr
tet will come back to meet the climbing
Georgian.
Very likely it will take something like
.300 to lend the American League this
year. With only six weeks left not even
the flaming batting eye of a Cobb seems
equal to this rise of fifty points.
THREE months ago Bill Johnson was
