XV. Chicago 77 New York 77 Cleveland 75 NATIONAL. Cincinnati 07 Brooklyn , 09 New York 07 Thus It can easily be seen that the leading clubs are '''fcnrgllng the i-aine tune and pulling no sour notes. The ".White Sox are one game ahead of the Yanks and the J;'Tanks arc one one-thousandth of a point nhcadof Cleve land. Cloe? You said it. vi On the other paw, we have the Reds leading Brooklyn by one-half n game and the Dodgers are one-half a game ""' ahead of the Giants. Therefore on both circuits, only one .? arao separates the first and third teams. They arc stick tlng close together, for united they stand and divided they flop out of the world series scandal. And how those 'guys tlove scandal ! n Yesterday was a turbulent cjay on the frontier. " There were upsets and everything. F'rlnstance, the Brooklyn hopefuls --- ' Lose and took it on the "run. Twice in the same place, which n cans a double header was lost unanimously. But there's a reason. When up n'-"r htiff opposition. Brooklyn plays like champions. When the second division clubs arc led out they play like Brooklyn. Nobody could play like that " and win. Same with the Giants. After making a fairly decent showing, they take a look at the I'ittsburgh gang and g& blind. Another double killing, which is a real clever way of putting it, we'd fray. The Pirates used a pair of ,eecond-tring pitchers entitled Carlson and Ponder. They turned into first stringers for a day and now look at the Giants. VOL con' tell anything about this pennant rare an this last day of August. Only a month until the ' end of the season and you never can tell ichat teill happen in those thirty days. Hut it's mighty exciting -mighty exciting. Bawston Likely to Spill the Beans fpHB Bed Sox, meaning the Bawstou club, proved to JL be the stumbling block to pennant -aspiring teams in .. the last week. Cleveland received a terrible walloping and now the White Sox arc on the pan. From gents who have traveled considerably and get n lot of real stuff "from the stable, we learn that the Red Sox now are playing better bail than any club in the league and will wade through all opposition until the finale on October fl. Tim Hendryx is bark in center field and clouting the pill with zest and fervor. Brady U a wonder at second base, Vitt is playing a great game at third and the pitchers are hitting on all twelve. Boston, of course, cannot win the pennant, but don't be surprised to see that gang in the first division, trying to horn into third place. The leaders arc on the defensive, and those beeond division clubs are likely to upset the apple at any time. Yesterday, the White Sox tried to put one over and finished a bum second. The Yanks didn't play, but Cleveland knocked the daylights out of Washington. Right now the Indians are the sentimental favorites. The fans are for them strong because of the game fight they now are putting up after losing the principal rog in the infield. Tris Speaker also has a host of friends. Spoke was n very sick man when he was here, but he played in every game and the crowd wai with him. Every time he stepped up to the plate a volley of ap plause greeted him. Few players are that popular in alien towns. "If we can clean up in Washington." said Speaker before he left on Saturday night, "we will win the pen nant. We then will be close to first place nnd will have the advantage of closing the season at home." That same line of chatter can be applied to the White Box If they get by in Boston and it will be a tough fight they too, will go home In first place and end tne season at home. THE Yanks are up against it. They travel xcest uard next iceck and tcill not havo easy sailing. Mays tcill lose his popularity ichen he gets out of Xcto York, for the outside fans do not helieve he became a hero tchen ho leaned poor Ray Chapman. The same goes for the ball club. Judging from Gotham reports the pitcher did a wonderful thing ichen he came back and icon a ball game the day after Chapman was buried. There are other xcays of looking at that performance. All Is Not Rosy in Rcdland BUT let's get back to the National League. Cincinnati Is leading for a couple of hours because a rookie named Napier, who was lifted from the Shreveport club recently, copped another contest. That makes two in a row. Today, however, somebody clso has to hurl and thereby hangs the tale. Pat Mornn is having his troubles. Ills high-strung athletes have developed temperaments nnd are difficult to handle. The world's wrong and they are right. One day they will play great baseball and the next a Ntranger would Imagino he was witnessing a battle for the cham pionship of Pier S. Yesterday a dispatch from Cincinnati stated thnt Slim Sallce was ubout to become attached to the official tin ware and shipped to Hlgginsport, Ohio, where he is the best nnd only sheriff. It also was announced that Walter Reuthcr and Nick Allen had been socked a fine of one week's salary because they failed to keep themselves iu good condition. All of which means the boys probably are gazing fondly into the flowing beaker which makes one forget one's troubles and the rigid prohibition laws whatever they arc. If they kick over the traces now, with the race tightening up and when every game counts, thero must be some choice scandal concealed out ttiere. To make matters worse. Billy Kopf busted a thumb nnd has become an involuntary spectator. Morris Rath has been on the blink, but came back into the line-up tlio other day, with Sicking at short. You can't go very far with a mediocre shortstop and the pitching staff doing its best work by electric light. It can't be done. Therefore, the Reds arc now facing a crisis and are likely to crack at any time. T ALSO must 6o remembered that they have another eastern trip to make and that will decide every thing. Brooklyn and Xcic York are riding easy, tcith the odds in favor of the Giants if McGraur keepi aicay from the Lambs' Club. Last, but Not Least WHILE the palpitating battles for first place are being fought, we should not forget that our loyal ball clubs are getting a firmer hold on eighth place. Misery loves company nnd it is a beautiful thing to have both tail-end clubs in the same town. Nothing could be fairer than that. Yesterday our A's finished second to Detroit because the Tigers scored the most runs nnd Connie had a patched up and exceedingly bum outfield. Tilly Walker was the only player out there. The others carried spears. Out in Chicago, the Phils allowed Chicago to gain a few more points in the won and lost column. But losing a ball game means nothing thebe days. We always get excited when a borne club wins. LOOKS as if the strike against Carl Mays had fliwed. On Sunday the bean bailer pitched against the St. Louis Browns and got away with it. There had been reports that they would walk off the field if Carl went into the box. When it comes to a showdown, the only club that will go through with it is Cleveland. The others would like to but they dassent. IN YESTERDAY'S game Ed Rommel was taken out at the end of the sixth inning and Dutch Leonard suffered the same fate. It seemed strange to the spectators thut the switches were made, for both were, going good at the time. But here Is the reason. The heat was so oppressive that both Leonard and Rommel succumbed and couldn't have pitched if they wanted to. They were knocked out by the heat. Cotnirloht, 19!0. by rubUc Ledger Co.

Miskie really did stand off Dcmpsey In a pair of bouts. Their ten-round content was held at St. Paul two years ago, and seven months later they faeed raeh other in a hix-round encounter in this city.

Yankee' Gunners In Canada Toronto. AusVS3l. Trapshootere from various parts of Canada and the United tatcs were per t.iay inr me nun annual .tburnaWlWt. m connection wittt In to Sea Girt, Aug. 31. Team matches, five of them company events, were tho order of the second day's shooting in the twenty-seventh nnnual Sea Girt riflo tournnment. Tho only Individual cveut on the program today was the Gould rnpid fire mntch. The corapuny nnd company tyro team matches of both the New York and the New Jersey State Ttifle Association and a two-man team match round out the day's schedule. The New Jersey Association's com pany tenra matches are both shot at 200 and 500 yards. They were the llrst events htarted this morning. The two man team match, which is shot at COO and 1000 yards, was started at 10 o'clock and after the first atage had been shot the New York company team event, ut 200. 500 and 000 yards, was started. Failure of tho team from the Third Infantry, with headquarters In Camden, to shoot steadily on the 200-vnrd ranld fire rango, and the consistent work of the victors, combined yesterday after noon to win for the Sixth New Jersey Infantry, composed of North Jersey troops, the Columbia Trophy mateh, a team event at 200, .".OO and 000 yurd.s slow fire and 200 and 300 rapid firo. Thn Sixth Infantry nosed out an eight -point victory with n total team score of 1302 against the Third's 1204. One of the Third Itegiment's men, frilling down for a score of only twenty in tho 200 yard rapid fire stage, probably cost them the match. The hame man nhot sen sationally on the 300 rapid firo range, making a score of forty -nine out of n possible flftv. The first team of the New Jersey cavalry squadron was third with 1231; tho Kccond cavalry team fourth with 1221 and the third cavalry team fifth with 1082. The Wingato match went to a regular army man from tho infantry team, Cap tain R. O. Miller, who made a perfect score of ten hits at the bobbing targets on the 200 -yard range. The order in which tho succeeding five finished fol lows: Second, Lieutenant C. M. Easley, IT. 8. Infantry; third. Lieutenant J K. Edmundson, U. S. Cavalry; fourth. Marshal Gunner J. J.

By SANDY McNIBLICK EXPECTATIONS arc that not n single one of Philadelphia's first ten nmatcurs will be absent from this year's play for the amateur golf cham pionship of the United States, the most promising struggle for tbe title, on pa per, ever to be staged. J. W. Piatt, city champion, nnd Ercd Knight, who has won a number of Im portant matches this year. leave today for the Enc'neers' course. Hoehn. L. I.. where the championship proper Marts .Monday. The clans arc beginning to gather there today, according to reports. Walter Reynolds. Norman Maxwell, Edwnrd C. Clarey, George Hoffner nnd Paul Tewksbury are all planning to go over Friday to get In at leant four rounds over the course before the cham pionship. Max Mnrston, representini; Merion. will very likelv go before that, with Pat Grant and Eddie Driggs also taking tin the grand march. The Philadelphia entries are expected to reach ten or a dozen if all nrc able to make the trip. To Gloom There never has been so much talent before in the American classic as is en tered this year and there can not be too great cause for gloom if the Philadcl phlans hit all around the necessary iuallfying total without breaking through solidly. Grnntland Rice has nn interesting ar ticle in the current issue of the Amer ican Golfer on the Engineers' course. "There are those who think it the finest course in the country. There nre others who look upon it us u bag of tricks nnd who finish n round muttering strange things," lie writes. "It will be a test that no entrant In the impending championship will ever tegard as a light one. "The main test will be on the greens. "If these nrc cut and rolled to any keenness, with their various undula tions and slopes and twists you will find strong men weeping as they finish the round. . , "The coure, under 0400 yards in length isn't long. l'ule-s heavy rains or heavy winds prevail, it vill be pos sible to reach most of the greens with u drive and a pitch. "Yet the sloping effect of tho greens and the rugged nature of tbe rough is Riich that low scoring is a rare mat ter." Sound Nerves The course for the qualifiers, or would -be's, is described as a stiff test of sound nerves and nerve. The short holes arc liable to result in 5's or 0 s more often than 3's and there are plenty of spots to wreck tho hopeful. Driggs is n uiitive of the Knglnecrs course, six other of the local entrants are "veterans" of a national tourna ment, and the Philadelphia prospect is therefore not so bad. On n coure such lis the whole field would ordinarily pluy its golf, it would be possible to go through the entry list und pick with some precision the play ers from each district that ought to qualify. . - , , New York has such hopes as Oswald Kirkby, Jerrv Travers. Jesse Sweetser, Gardiner White, Frank Dyer. John G. Auderson. Lucien Walker, J. S. Worth ington. They are liable to qualify moro than their "quota" of four, since they have had the opportunity right ulong to get accustomed to the course. ,filve them four. Beantown Confident Boston has Francis Ouimet, Jess Guilford, F. C. Newton nnd a sure fourth. The South has D. C. Corkran, Bobby Jones, J. S. Dean, Louis Jncoby, Richard Woolworth. Perry Adair, Nelson Whitney, George V. Rotnn. Give them live. Chicago has Chick Evans. Bob Gard ner nnd a "dark hovse." Two. Down below there are "Rudy" Knep per, ii wire bet; R. E. Bockencamp, one of the most promising young play ers out there; Jimmy Manlon, who tied for the medal last year, and in other parts arc Jimmy Standlsh nnd Harold Weber, with a strong field in this gen eral section. Four at least. Then there's the tcrrlblo Pittsburgh district, takers of so. many champiou ships and holders of the present. S. D. Herron, Bill Fowncs, Grant Peacock, Dwight Armstrong, also of Philadelphia; J. B. Crookston, K. C. Long, E. M. Dyers and others, surely four. Great Britain will have its four strongest amateurs, Cyril Tolley. Roger Wcthcred. Tom Armour nnd Lord Charles Hope, and Canada is sure to laud four of its team also. Add W. II. Gardner and u few other miscellaneous players und it would make up the quota of thirty-two, most of whom seem to have a real chance. Betting, However But that docs not keep local fans from wishing to lay bet8 that at least five Philadelphinns will qualify, and maybe icvuu, which, we believe, is just about tbc record from this city.
