Mind Bets Are Barred
THE FIItST race found everybody happy, Including the
centlcmnn who operated the pnrinj machine. Cash
customers crowded in the stalls like Democratic delegates
in a telephone booth and left nothing to the imagina
tion; 'ou bet they didn't. Huslnr-M wni done on a
strictly cash basis and mind bets were barred. You
handed over your money and then watched a dumb nnl
Dial lose it. You could depend on getting n run for
the kalo and it lasted longer in the mile rncc.
A flock of maidens appeared in the opeuer. A maiden

'maid to be a maiden. A consistent loser wins the

becnuso we wagered only a portion of the bankroll on

It looked easy in the steeplechase. Only three
horses were entered, which made it poyMlble to have n

Monologue in Third Race
ANOTHER kind friend stepped into the picture after
tho steeplechase disaster. The third race was about
to bo introduced nnd the advnnco notices read something
like this: "Clnimtng. For thrcc-ycar-olds nnd upward.

"Now, listen." whispered the kind friend, "the work

nnd go bnck to Philadelphia and buy the place."
When the horses were parading to the post, some
body rang a bell. One of the horses started immediately
for the fire, and forgot to take the jockey. Mason did n
nilly Miske to the turf, landing on his left ear and roll
ing over on his back, with both shoulders down. That
made the fall legal. After he came to he asked about tho
' rest of the pnsscngers. He felt better when told they
jumped with the conductor nnd the cash register.
In the menntlme the fire horse wns doing a mono
logue around the track. The first mile wns covered In
nothing, n beautiful sprint being put on in .the home
stretch. Thin drew forth so much npplnusc that another
mile was staged. No fire could be (Uncovered, o the steed
gave it up after another three-quarters of n mile nnd was
erased from tho scene. The race wns run without him.
Ticket holders still arc holding them.

"Yhat horse was that?" we aked of a kind-faced
neighbor.
CT,IIAT," came the laconic reply, "icai the drug

count. The name teas Queen of the Spa."
Faisan Dore Wins by a Nose ,
THERE still wns a chance. The fourth race was- due
nnd the wise persons had n hot tip on Gnti. The
Ross stable, consisting of Damrosch and Fnlsan Dore,
also was present, with Maneuver as company. It was
the Virgilnia Purse, for nonwinncrs. Only nonwinntng
horses nre allowed to race. The track is too small to
accommodiate the customers.
At the end Gatli still was n nonwinner. In one of
the closest finish ever seen Fnlsan Dore whatever that
means won on the last jump. Schuttinger, who was
up, outguessed Rodriqucs: and lifted his mount over the
line.
There was much confusion. Gnth rooters howled for
the decision, but were not tnken seriously. The judges
gave the decision to tho Ross stnble.
T WAS some sort of a holiday, and a large croxed
teas present. In order to celebrate the occasion

Rut to those? who saw the match,
this does not hold up at nil. You crtn
throw the 80 out right nwny. for in i
nv - dal play it would have been nearer
78. The s xes on it represented holes
on which Piatt had to take a desperate
chance or pick up. They were mostly
made where Allis got a 3, birdie or par.
Allis had nn npproxtmnte 74, which
included 0 threes, nnd ngainst that
Piatt won T holes in the morning. There
was nothing careless about tbnt round
of Piatt's.
His victory over Dave Hcrron, na

only n stepping none. He realized the
night before that the further one goe
in a national the harder is the opposi

Piatt knew in Ned Allis he opposed

PERKINS BOOSTED AS

Many Claim A's Backstop Leads List Eligible for
All-American Baseball Team Sisler
Unanimous Choice at First
By GRANTLAND RICE
A S WE thought, suspected or even
expected, vnrious conflicting opin
ions hnve come in upon our nll-Amerl-can
selection or n few dnys ngo, when
wenttempted to name our all-star base
ball line-up for the year. They have
come in profusion, but If there was no
difference of opinion what a drab and
dismal occupation this sporting life
would be! As it is now, it may be
checkered, but it is never wholly dull.
Back of tho Bat
MANY intelligent complaints havo
come in concerning our selection of
Schhlk and Schang ns catchers.
There are mnny fans who believe this
nward should have been mdde to O'NoII,
of Cleveland, nnd Perkins, of the Ath
letics. They nre two fine receivers, nnd ns
cntchers nre, somewhat better than
Schang. But the Boston star is a
much harder hitter and one of those
workmen who can tstand the . physicnl
test dny nfter dny.
We'll grant there is very little to
choose from ' these four Schalk,
Schang, Perkins nnd O'Neill. But
Schnlk is too smart a cntcher, too ex
perienced n performer, too crnfty n gen
eral, too good a fighter and too line, n
cntcher to be left out. He has a lot of
value that isn't included in his work
on the field.
Infield Kicks
SISLER is tho unanimous choice at
first. Not even the most rabid de
bater hns kicked nt his selection.
But several believe that Hornsby
should supplant Collins nt second, that
either Peckinpaugh or Hollochcr should
oust Bancroft from short and that Groh
has something on Weaver at third.
Making no claim to omniscience, we
still stand by Collins, Bancroft and
Weaver.
Collins, the greatest second baseman
of the game, Is In the midst of his
greatest year.
Bnncroft has been a whirlwind.
Weaver is outhltting Groh by thirty or
forty points, nnd the game has no
harder worker.
The Pitchers
PITCHING selections vary even more
widely than those of tho infield.
Our choice Included Alexander, Bagby,
Cooper and SJiocker,
SCOTT-POWELL IN FORM

But Scott-Powell hnd their batting
togs on and hammered Schoficld's de
livery hard and the bcoro, 4-3. does not
show the easy manner in Vhich Bon
ner's teuin won. Scott-Powell will play

Yet you can find nn army of fans
who believe thnt Grimes, Mays, Ehmko
nnd otherH should be ndded.
There nre mnny who believe Mnys n
better pitcher thnn any man we have
named. But we still stand pnt.
Alexander nnd Bagby will win more
games thnn any other two pitchers in
either lengue. They have been mnin
stnys since April.
Cooper, workiug for tho weakest hit
ting club in cither league according to
the figures, has yet held his own with
the big winners of the year.
Shocker, with a ball club below third
place, has been winning Btcadily and
will win as many as or more games
than Mays will win by October. Grimes
is a fine pitcher and so is Ehmke. There
arc still others. But we can't figure
any changes in tIcw of the embattled
dope ns gnthcrcd from the figures nnd
the field. .
Outfield Offerings
OUTFIELD offerings have also been
thick. Joe Jackson is hardly a
popular choice. Young, of the' Giants,
is n big favorite, and he deserves all
tho kind words said about him. For
Young Ts one of the big stars of the
game. But hitting tho ball happens to
be one of the main qualities Joft to a
star outfielder, nnd, while Young Is n
..'130 hitter, Jackson Is n .380 hitter.
Young Is n much better defensive plnyer
thnn Jackson, nnd there Is n good bit
of logic in the claim that he is n better
nll-nround mnn.
Zack Wheat and Eddie Roush also
have many supporters, but Young has
something on both. Another entry
worthy of praise is Sam Rice, of Wash
ington, a fine outfielder, a .300 hitter
and the best base runner in the league.
BUT there, isn't room for all. Some
good ones must be left out, nnd in
sevcrnl cases tho worth of the men men
tioned is so evenly baluuced that it is
all a matter of opinion rather than a
matter of figures or actual supremacy
proved beyond tho shadow of a jloubt.
And there wns no belief onxdir pnrt
thnt the selection would ever be made
unanimous. If such a belief had ever
existed just what would have been tho
motivating impulse back of the idea?

. THE FINAL ROUND
y"Play!"
THE finnl round ot the tennis cham
pionship of the United Stntcs wns
on. "iiittlc .Mil, viuiam jm, oonn
ston, holder of the title, was defending
his honors in the last match, and I
knew that nothing short of my best
and a little more would serve against
tho fnmous Callfornian.
I had a distinct plan of campaign
mapped out for tho match. 'Sad ex
perience In former matches with John
ston had taught me the advantage of
getting the jump on him, nnd I was
determined to start quickly. Tilings
broke well from the start, nnd In the
space of n very Bhort time the first set
wns tucked nwny nt 0-1, Johnston hnd
not yet started, and my exertions were
telling on me.
BUly opened the second set with n
terrific net nttnek that my best efforts
could not break. He .broke my eervlco
twice, and at that pornt I gave up the
set for lost. The closing games I used
to run him, trusting that the strain of
the pace would tnka, its toll from his
endurance. (
The third set hnd no more thnn
opened when thnt horrible nlrplnnc
tragedy cast Its gloom over the gather
ing nnd caused a tenseness of feeling
which I trust I may never be cnlled to
piny under again. I was serving nt 0-1
nnd 30 all when the tragedy occurred.
Feeling of Horror
I smv the piano fall, as I was facing
that direction. Johnston, with his back
to it did not sec it, but realized thnt
something unusual wns occurring. The
feeling uppermost in my mind ns I
stood there waiting for the crowd to
quiet was one of horror, nnd nlraost
of callous disgust at myself for the
necessity of going on with the match
when death had laid ita shadow almost
on the court.
However, there wns nothing else to
be done, so the match progressed. Cer
tain it is thnt for some names neither
of us could shake off the effect of the
accident, while the crowd showed its
reaction by nn excitnbility of the most
pronounced nature.
The turning point In the set came
when Johnston, who had broken my
delivery, lost his own service twice in
succession nnd the third set wns an
nexed by me, 7-5.
The rest cave mo a chance to take
stock of matters nnd certnln nxioms of
match piny brought comfort to me

First. I minced my own tired feelings
by the fact th other mnn must be
Just na tired. It proved true. I Be.
eepfed nago advice about what to do
from many enthusiastic adherents, much'
of which was good dope, but hardly
could bo assimilated at such a time
I went out determined to get the fourth
set.
Disagree in Views ,
Unfortunately, Billy Johnston is one
of th players who never know when
they nre defeated, soliis vicwi nnd mlns
did not agree. The break In the fourth
set came' to mo nnd I led nt C-3 and
5-4,
Tho first two points were mine for
0-30. The next point following an ex
chnngo of volleys nt clone range. John
ston lobbed short 1 smashed full nt'
him, thinking as I- hit the ball, '.'Thin
means the match." Mr shot was per.
feet, but Johnston took it on a back
hand half volley and put It up over my
head.
Sheer surprise caused me to weaklv
top it at the net. The effect of the" miss
worried mo and I blow tho next point.
The moral clearly defined in this episode
is that a point Is never over until llie
ball Is out of play, so never relax your
vigilance, particularly Against Billy
Johnston.
Bill saw his opportunity nnd seized it,
grabbing the next two points following
n disastrous try on ray match point,
nnd with them the game for five -all.
Johnston was on the crest of the wnves.
He won the first two points on my de
livery with magnificent shots, missed one
as the rain began to fall heavily.
In the next point V fell hard when
chasing a get and Johnston was ro
startled that he netted my return. I
got up rather shaken and set myself
to serve only to hear Conlin call the
match on account of rain.
Johnston Tired
At the 'moment it seemed to me that
nothing could have been worse, far
Johnston was palpably tired, yet on
later reflection I decided it gavo mo the
chance to steady down after a disas
trous scries ot bad breaks.
On the resumption ot play Johnston
began with a rush and pulled out the
fourth set nt 7-5. Frankly, I was dis
couraged, but not defeated, for I knew
he was very tired nnd his great effort
cost him much of his reserve. Johnston
broke my delivery the second time in tho
Inst set, but dropped his own through
sheer fatigue. He again rallied and
went Into the lend nt 3-2, but I could
see he wns nearly in nnd wns playing
mainly on pure grit. I wns having se
vere cramps myself, but was able to
keep going just long enough.
From 2-3 down to match point for
me I had just enough edge to stay out
of extreme danger, but never will I for
get the sensation of joy thnt I felt when
I saw Billy's last shot hit outside the
line and knew the match was over.
It was a great match and ono that
reflected, even more credit on the lour
thnn the winner, for Johnston's fight
and pull out in the fourth set won tin
hearts of all who saw It. . - -)
It wns a match that' taught nt -'
muchr It proved again to me the vaht
of keeping tho ball in play In the plncK '
and not missing the easy ones. It care
me confidence to believe in my own sys
tem of nttnek. It heightened the admi
ration I have always had for Billy
Johnston.
