Sport Editor Kvenlnx Public isrr
"YNGE more the lead In tho National League has
,V changed. It; Actual count the pllotshlp in the hectic
!race has switched twenty times in the lnit (our months.
JV'n dare anybody to try to tent the authenticity ot this
assertion. The Reda are out In front now by the margin
t a hairline or something like that. They skipped to the
head of the parade by trimming Boston yesterday while
Hh Dodgers were dodging raindrops The slants got out
f step by losing again to the Pirates. Here ore the
Jggers :
W. L. P.O.
Cincinnati ,. 6H 6.1 .503
Brooklyn 70 R3 .500
New York 07 57 .540
During the month Just past, the Reds and the Robins
were only playing leapfrog around first and second place,
Moran's crew was out in the bandmaster's post live
time and the Dodgers four times. The longest reign was
.'from August 17 to August 20. During this period, the
World's champions led the way. '
The National League brush has been like a scram
Med egg from the start. Everybody and everything ban
een In it. Every club in the circuit with the exception
f the Glaats has been .In first place at least once.
Kven eur Phils were there for a short, very short, spell.
That was so long ago that most of us have forgotten, but
h's'a fact. The miracle happened on May 3 and con
tinued until May 4. It must have ruined our" Cravath
vVojs, for from that time on they slipped on the downward
frail until they were stopped by the bottom of' the league.
That was hit on May 20. They have been there ever
face.
. The Qlanta haven't reached the dizzy heights yet, bnt
certainly they have been In the race. And well is this
kafcwn by the Dodgers and the Reds, especially the Reds.
Tat Cards were holding the fort early in the season. The
Phils sat In the honor seat on May 3, the Braves were
blazing the trail on May 8 and continued to do so until
May 14, when the Reds horned in. The Pirates copped
th advantage on May 21 and stayed in first place until
May 28, when the Cubs went into the lead. Chicago was
displaced- by the Dodgers on June 1 and since then the
Robins and Moran's club have had a monopoly. The
Cards threatened to take the lead In Jane, but when they
reached third place they stopped aad then put on the
Mvtrse and went backward.

day and received the usual greeting to those who flivver
D ROHMEL won the nightcap. He replaced
Perry In the third, after Detroit had taken a biff
lead, and held them tafe throughout. Swell pitcher,
this Rommel.
Yarrison Is Said to Be a Wonder
mnEY meaning the critics who sit In the last row of
J- the grandstand nt Shlbe Park were talking yeater
day about Byron TV. Yarrison, a ball player who ,ls ex
pected to fill the vacated shoes of Rube Oldrjng some day.
This athlete has been signed by Connie Mack and now Is
rehearsing nt Rocky Mount, N. C, in the hope that he
will become seasoned. The rookie bad a lot of 'boosters.
One of the speakers had' some dope on the subject
and orated as follows : ,
"Four years ago Yarrison was n green college player
who reported on Nixon field, Gettysburg, n candidate for
an outfield position on Ira Plank's Battleficfd Collegiate
nine. The inside tricks of the national pastime were a
closed book to this raw recruit, who knew little more
about ball playing than the average freshman from the
mountains.
"The one thing Yarrison did know bow to do, how
ever, was to hit. He stood at the plate with a nonchalant
air and poked out base hits In all directions. Thin 'I
don't care' attitude Immediately gave the sporting editor
of the Gettysburg College, weekly a chance to nickname
him 'Rube' on account of his resemblance to Oldrlng.
Four years passed and, after serving a year in the
army, Yarrison completed his coarse at Gettysburg and
joined the Hanover Bias Ridge tean. Four weeks after
becoming a professional Yarrison was recommended to
the Athletics by "Eddie' Plank and was traded for Jess
Joats and a cash consideration.

third position the next Afternoon. The New Yorkers
still are third, two and a half games behind the
Dodgtrs and Reds. MeOraw still has a chance and
a good one.
Ttvo Victories in One- Day for A's
TTKUl some reason or other a double-header was won in
" Shlbe Park yesterday, and the other guys didn't, win
It. All of which goes to show that one never can tell
from where one is sitting what is likely to happen. Two
fames in one day is a rare accomplishment for the A's.
Ordinarily they don't do as well as that In a week.
It took Dave Keefe, the stenographic slinger, so
called because of his short hand, to win the opener. Dave
allowed numerous bingles, but kept Uem scattered like the
hair on a Mexican dog. Only once did he perpetrate
what might be called a mistake, and that was in the
eighth stanza, when he grooved one for Yeacb, and Bobby
did nothing but clout the bulb over the right-field wall.
Incidentally, that waB the only run scored by Dee-trott
in the initial fray, as it occasionally is nicknamed.
Cy Perkins, who does all of the playing for the A's,
iron the first game. He also won the second, which
means he did a good day's work. His double In the sixth
frame of the nightcap put the home folks in the ball
game and made It possible -for the glo-rious double vic
tory. There was one incident which is worthy of mention.
It shows bow the public treats a hero. It was In the
ninth inning of the opener and the bases were crowded.
Two were out and Ty Cobb at bat. Once upon a time
a situation like that would have put a pitcher on the
blink, but yesterday Ty was treated like an ordinary
rookie.
Keefe pitched to him and while the spectators held
their breath. Ty lifted a high foul which was gathered in
by Joe Dugan. That ended the game and Ty was given
the grand raz by the mob.

Ruth Should Stick to Baseball
rjTHE Babe, by the wuy, Is horning Into a lot of things
-L these days. Forsaking his meal ticket at the Polo
Grounds, he motored over to Jersey for movable-picture
work. While there he lost the decision to a Jersey
mosquito and will not play ball for another week.
Finding time hanging heavily on his hands, he de
cided to sue a rival film company for a million dollars
because said rival film company had the audacity to put
out a movable picture showing how he clouts the pill.
This is at Keith's this week. Ruth also is about to lose
the decision In this case.
However, Bambino isn't as popular as he might be.
A lot of people never heard about blm. Looking over a
recent issue of Vaudeville, we stumbled over the following
under a Chicago date line:

comlnc home,
By LOUIS H. JAFFE
STANCH sons of sunny Italy always
' have been in the thick of the fight,
from the standpoint of fisticuffs, and
at the present time a brace of battlers
of that nationality are sitting a -top
of as many different pugilistic divisions.
They are Petey Herman, the bantam
boss, who is to meet pee-wee Jimmy
Wilde in London September 27. and
Johnny Wilson, conqueror of Mike
O'Dowd.
There are a number of Italian wield
ara of nature's weapons in Pbiladel-
Ehla who threaten to branch out Into
lg-time boxers, and one of the little
fellows of sunny It' extraction with
major possibilities Is Angelo Perry.
Angelo has separated himself from his
Christian handle lor puncning purposes
and in its stead has substituted Jack,
tho same as his big cousin, the Pitts
burgh welterweight. Little Jack has
been In local rings and elsewhere for
about a vear. having participated in
thirty-five bouts. No bantam can point
his finger at the petite Perry and say.
"I knocked him off his feet."
Even more pleased Is Perry with the
fact that he never has suffered a black
eye. Angelo, or. rather, Jack, haa not
had the opportunity to place himself
very prominently In the llmeglare as
yet. Among his opponents have been
Barney Snyder, conceded to be a top
sotcher in New England; Little Bear.
Martin Judge. Young McGoyern. Kid
Wagner. Jimmy Mendo. Joe Dorsey and
Maxie Williamson. None of these lads
is a soft thing for any healthy young
gent to oppose In the ring.
Albert Jannettl. who Is called
"Chick" by his friends, has big ideas
for little Jack, because Al is handling
the fistic destinies of the South Phila
delphia bantam. "I expect to leave
Philadelphia with Perry on a trip
..nm,j thn country, beginning with
Novemtri and then if Jock shows that
be lias the stun l migni lane a jump

The biggest racing card of the season
will be put on at the Point Breeze
sprint match race, the American fifty
mile motorpaced championship and a
flock of amateur events will be staged.
The races start at 8 :30 .
Four sprinters from as many coun
tries will be in the flOOO-race. Thsy
are Willie Spencer, the Canadian cham
pion; Pete Moo.kep, the title-holder of
Holland ; Alfred Ooulett. the Australian
speedster, and Harry Kaiser, of New
York.
Five Americans are entered In the
Ufty-raile grind. They are Clarence
Carman, the champion; Menus Bedell,
the Long Island veteran; Percy Law
rence, the California flash; George
Wiley, the Syracuse speed artist, and
George Chapman, the Philadelphia idol.
Spencer is the favorite In the sprint
race. H won the big purse last year
and is very likely to repeat, but he will
have some tough competition. Moes
kop rwently proved his Caliber by
trimming Frank Kramer in two straight
heats; Kaiser a ek ago set n new
track record for one lap when he went
the one-slztb of a mile at Point Breeze
In 16 3-5 seconds, and Goulett has been
riding in fine form nil season.
Carman Is the best bet in the motor
paced event, but he should be pushed
to the finish by Chapman, who has been
peaating to victories in Boston anc
Providence during the last two mnnUm
The other three riders also should show
well.
Eddie Stein, of Boston, who Is rated
as one of the best pace setters In the
world, will be added to the usual list
of motorcyclists at the Drome.
Bobby Walthour, Jr., and Frank

JOHN .W.M'QOVQB,
IN CASE the White Soz Insist upon
winning anotner pennant' this year
tho'seventh world series has contributed
its share of kale to Eddie Colllns'sbank
roll. Eddie took down the wlnner'atnd
in 1U1U, lull, lUia.and llUil. . Jlecol
lected the .loser's bit In '1014 and 1810.
So far his shrtre has been 'a trifle over
$20,000, and if he should be. upon the
winning wing this next October it, will
run well above $25,000. Collins, arid
Jack, Barry have collected more world
series money than any two others we
ran think of just at this moment.
Out, of Baseball
TY COBB has probably -drawn more
money out of baseball as a pro
fession than any other man, not even
barring Mathcwson.
Ty jumped into prominence thirteen
years ago, when he led the league' for
the first timn. He has been a high
salaried athlete ever since. In his last
ten years he must have averaged around
$15,000 a season. Add to this the sur
plus drawn from three world series and
a 'few thousand picked up in exhibition
games, and Cobb's total should run
above $200,000.
If Ruth remains ns 'healthy as he
looks and continues to prod the .ball,
out ot the park ior, a lew more years ne
will pass them all.
The movies and vaudeville are not
included In this computation.
Out of the Flurry
OUT of the fantastic flurry of padded
mitts that will oncn the tall season
and continue through the winter will
some challenger step forth able to jostle
Dempsey'8 laurel wreath over the right
or left ear?
Not in any hurry, very likely. Demp
sey was only twenty-five late In June.
He is still a year or two short of the
athletic prime, which is about twenty -seven.
Yet he will hardly remain undefeated
as long as Jeffries did. Jeffries, after
six years of continued success, literally
had to' quit fighting because there was
no one "Vho could even offer him an
argument no one who could make it
partially worth while.
Dempsey, with Wills and Carpen
tier left, hasn't reached that stage yet.
And there are still a few who would like
to see what Willard could do with an
other .chance. Hot couldn't do. any worse.
And with hla bulk and strength and- a
smear of luck he might even start
something.
After the lull it will be a great year,
anyway, for those who care to Inhale
the resin and listen to the thudding
chorus of glove and jaw.
