CLOSE RACES IN MAJOR LEAGUES
, TEST SEA TING CAP A CITIES A T PARKS
-, AND ALL CLUBS ARE MAKING MONEY
BASEBALL magnates aro reaping a harvest of gold this
year. The close races in both leagues hare put the
fans on edge, caused lota of excitement and tested the
seating capacity of the ball parks. For tho first time In
years every club owner is making money.
Yesterday was a good example of what close races will
do. In New York the gates wero closed before the game
started, but before that happened, some 38.000 customers
filed into the Polo Grounds. The Brooklyn crowd was
estimated at 25,000. The White Sox and tho A's drew
28,000, In St. Louts 22,000 went out to look at the fading
Yankees and the Cleveland crowd was 27,000. Therefor,
live gamca drew 187,000 spectators, which is mighty clos
to ft record for one day, . ,
The collapso of the Yankees was the aurprlso ot last
.week. After walloping Detroit and taking two out of
three from Cleveland they hit the skids in Chicago thres
unit in succession. This did not cause consternation or
anything like that, for the "White Box ars playing great
tall and likely to trim any club.
But yesterday's defeat In St. Louis tht fourth
.straight is something else again. The Browns had no
difficulty in winning by the scow of 0 to 1, ai ths New
Yorkers failed to hit and played a sloppy gams in the
field. A slump at this time of the year If exceedingly
sad, for the Yanks havo but nine more fames to play,
ending the season on September 28. They will b against
tough opposition from now on, and that will Hot help thslr
t cause.
There have been rumors about dissensions in the club,
and some of the star players are said to hare had several
run-ins with Manager Hugglns. According to tome re
ports the athletes are not taking the best cars ot them
selves and have been very difficult to handle, Still, you
ever can tell what Is happening. Lots ot stories are
spread broadcast when a ball club starts to lose,
Brooklyn took the first game of the sat from Pitts
burgh, thereby coming closer to the pennant. Tho Giants
shoved Cincinnati further down in the percentage column,
winning in eleven Innings. McQraw's club has an out
side chance to win, but tint's all. Tho Dodger ahould
breeze home under wraps.
TBE Giant and tho Yanks proooMy wtn fruit In
a poit'ieason series for the ohampionshlp of
New York. If the Yankees lose a oouplt of mor
, garnet the Gotham teami surely will hook up ad
get Charley Ebbeti lore.
Bagby Best Hurler in American League
JIM BAGBY won his twenty-ninth victory of the season
yesterday when he shut out the Bed Box In Cleveland.
Jim Is the best pitcher in the American League this year
and his great work, has been responsible for the present
standing of the Indians. Every pennant contender has
some etar slabman to depend on. Last year Cicotta
turned the trick for Chicago and Heather was the Cin
cinnati star. Burleigh Grimes stepped out and saved
Brooklyn this season.
Cleveland, however, Is playing ths best ball, having
won six of the last seven gomes. The team la hitting for
an average of .303, which is unusually good. If the
Indians continue to hammer the pill and Bagby, Cove
leskie, Caldwell and Malls keep up the good work In the
box the state of Ohio will havo an opportunity to stage
another world series.

This ruling cams as a big surprise, for plans had been
laid to hold both bouts on a large scale. Dempsey would
have trimmed Brennan, but nobody could dope out the

All of these matches are thirty-nix

Bay, who sinks them from anywhere
on one of his streaks, is capable of miss

seen him miss aplonty like that. Var

Evans is Hometlmes. He will generally
need two putta, but that's all.
This is one reanon he's th "par

he is always right in the middle and
follows up with one of his sweet irons.

Dwlght Armstrong is the leading ama

made a deep Impression with his two

That is an awe-inspiring record locally.
Jack Hobens, the Noble pro, Is a
former metropolitan open champion,

The best match looks to be at Merlon.

It all depends at Aronimink with

If they are at the top of their game
they are capable of the most brilliant
game of the three pairs on their home

Reynolds showed plenty In the Gelst

Carpentler was reported to be all

He waa all through to the extent
that before he l through he will clean

Taking In his Beckett match, his
motion-picture and exhibition receipts,
his fight with Lcvlnsky and his or
dained meeting with Dempsey, within
less than three years after he was
rhaslng cooties out of his French uni
form, he will be Independently rich.
Even if he Is beaten by Dempsey
there is no Kuropean now in sight who
can stop him, and so onco back upon
the other side he can still add to his
roll by taking on the Becketts and the
Wellses for return engagements.

are tho better outfielders. But who Is

they will close out the season with at
least one notable record to their credit
tho record of having displayed their

of baseball history. Their turnstile mark
lor tne year will be closer to 3,000,000

around 2,500,000 wouldn't be far
wrong.

EARL HARTMAN, HOME FROM
OLYMPICS, USES HAMMER
Treatment of Athletes in Antwerp Was Terrible, Says Phila
delphia Boxer Pans Decisions in Ring Competition
By 1.0TJIS
ED EARIj HABTMAN, whose mid
dle name la more familiar to his
Intimate friends, nnd Hughey Mc
Gloon, former Athletics' mascot. Is
glad to be back in Philadelphia. Earl
has been home for only two days, and
In that short time he has filled himself
with more good food than he can re
member. The reason Is that Hartman
was a member of America's Olympic
team, and he says, "It wasn't exag
gerated at all that stuff about tho
food being 'fit for dogs.' It was ter
rlblc and no worse thnn the decisions
given by the Judges during the boxing
matches."
Hartman was one of the first Amer
ican boxers to return from the recent
Olympics at Antwerp. He arrived In
New York Saturday on the Aqultanla,
together with Spike Webb, coach of the
TJ. a. mlttmen; nieve Auguuun, n
Boston; Jack and Pete Zlvlc. of Pitts
burgh, nnd Snm Lagonla, Sam Mm
berg. Frank Cassldy and Sam Vogcl,
of New York. Of this aggregation of
boxers Mosberg was the only one to
win high honors In the Olympic ring,
earning for himself the world's ama
teur 185-pound championship.
Willie Clark and Sidney I.Kog, Jr.,
pair of Phl'ailelphla 145-pounders
who represented the U. S. A. In the
Olyplcs. will return here the latter part
ni thtt werk. Hartman said. They are
aboard the Antlgny. which left France
the same time as tne Aqunania, oui
...MM, (a n much slower boat.
Hartman, who Ib a member of the
Mount Curmel Catholic Club, of this
city, reiterates the Insinuations by the
other members of the American Olympic
team In stating that treatment given
the nthletes Is hardly explainable. "Can
vou Imagine twenty-one boxers quar
tered In one room, hardly sufficient
space for any of us to turn around In,
and getting nothing but mush, mush.
muBh, and then some more mush for
meals?"
"Then," continued Hartman, "after
retting into the ring it was cxasperat
ing to have Judges decide bouts against
you, especially wbeu they admitted that
they knew nothing about boxing, other
thnn having read books for twenty
veS?s Why. Walker, the South Afrl
can who was declared the winner of
the' 118-pound c'nss, almost collapsed
when they called him a winner over mo
in the second prelim, because, ns the
final bell sounded, he said, 'Hartman,
I tried hard, but you beat me.' "

Champion
THE season of 1020 is closing In
the tennis world of Philadelphia.
Never in the hUtory of the game has
the city held a more prominent posi
tion nor n more enviable record.
Public interest In tennis in Phila
delphia reached a crest that is for
above any previous record in this
vicinity. Tho tournaments havo been
mlformly successful, well run and
the entries large. Ocrmantown Cricket
Club, under Its able committee headed
by S. II. Collura nnd boasting of such
assistants as William II. Connell,
George Purvnnce, Harry Homer, Sam
uel Peacock and others, lead the way
by staging the wonderfully successful
East vs. West matches with a gallery
of well over 10,000 In three days' play.
The Philadelphia championship, won
by Stanley W. Pearson; tho Middle
States championship, won by Wallace
F. Johnson; the New York-Philadelphia
JunloY match, which spelled vic
tory for the Gotham team but lent
glory to Charles Watson. 3d, Phila
delphia's leading Junior, who decisively
defeated Frank Osgood, New York s
best, and the woman's Philadelphia
championship, now under way.

Merion was host to Penn State with
nn exceedingly interesting entry list,
containing several out-of-town entries,
Including tho Callfornlrfn collegians,
Bntes and Levy. AVallace Johnston,
again showed brightly with CarlJFlscher
a close second. The intcrcollcgififcs were
ably handled at the same club.
Cynwyd successfully staged the
eastern Pennsylvania, with Carl Fisom
again proving himself one of the greut.
est young players In the East. Philadel
phia Country Club with Its delightful
Invitation mixed doubles lent a touch of
fsocilil life that to the general tennis at
mosphere. The woman's national cham
pionship at Philadelphia Cricket Club
was a remarkable success from every
standpoint social, financially and In
the tennis played.
Truly a marvelous season for one
