1 PRIME FETTLE FOR
EASTERN INVASION
'American League Crucial Series Finds Three Teams
jFVote Occident in First Division White Sex, Tigers
' and Browns Have All Improved in Last Menth
fK FTER enjoying civil strife for two weeks, the West will lnvnde the East
fa. te carry en hostilities started some weeks age. In ether words, the
East-West crucial July scries will get under wny this afternoon in three
Eastern cities for the American League and two Western municipalities for
the Nntlenal.
In the American the standings reveal the startling and net te be denied
information that three of the first four teams in the rnce hall from the wild
and woolly. It also shows that seventh and eighth places are inhabited by
teams from the shores of the Atlantic. Our Athletics, which is nothing new,
are down in the muck. The Bosten Red Sex are seventh.
The IJrewns, of St. I.euls, with Ken Williams, home-run king of the
league, and Geerge SIsler, who occupies se many thrones in the American
JLeaguc that he needs an official flgger expert te Keep tracit ei mem, nre lend
ing the parade, two up en the dashing prima donnas and otherwise tempera
mental New Yerk Yankees.
Third in the race are the White Sex, no less a wonder in these days of
expensive hall players, Inflated salaries and rabbit balls than the famous
hltless wonders of bygone days, just five and a half games from the highest
perch. Next comes Tyrus Raymond Cobb and his bunch of kids In fourth
place, seven games back of the Browns.
Then fellow Washington, Clevclnnd the latter one of the most disap
pointing teams in the league nnd Bosten and our Athletics. The experts
had it all figured out that the Yanks would be leading at this stage of the
race, with Cleveland second. St. Leuis third. Washington fourth and take
"your pick for the last four places with the White Sex, Red Sex, Athletics
nnd Tlirers In the race for last place.
' .
WHAT was the situation a month age today, irith slight change).
' Since that time tome have flopped, ethers have spurted and one
or two have held their eicn. The last month sate mere changes than
any ether month this or last season.
What the Western Teams Have Dene

( mention Johnny Evers, were slek, tore and tired of being" buffeted around
k- ipbi piacc. ieuay iney are miru.
Ty Cobb and his Tigers were tied for the cellar rung with-the Sex, with
prospects of getting out being dismal. Bosten was sixth nnd the Athletics,
strange te beheld, hnd prosperity and opportunity clutched tightly by the
wingB in fifth position, n couple of points back of the Senators.
The Yanks with Bnbc Ruth in the line-up, nnd before he tossed the
handful of expensive dust, were leading the race. The Browns were second,
Cleveland third and Washington fourth. Mere like the wny the figgrr experts
expected it te turn out. But what a walloping the dope received. The West
turned en its haunches nnd smote the East some terrific reverses.
The White Sex wen ten out of their" sixteen games with the Easterners,
sweeping the feur-gnme. series with the Red Sex. The Browns performed
the same feat. Cleveland wen six and lest eight and Detroit captured thir
teen nnd lest three. This is the best mark the Tigers hawe made in many
years. The Mackmcn took an awful flop, losing eleven of tneir fifteen games
played. The Yanks wen but seven of sixteen games, Washington five of
sixteen and Washington seven out of fifteen. Which, boiled down, means that
the West captured thirty-nine games nnd lest twenty-three from the proud
visitors.
Something of a revolution, when nil the facts are known, for the well
known nnd highly respected dope te be battered se fiercely. Yet it has been
done. The West should de almost ns well in the East as they did en their
own home lets. The Athletics apparently have shot their belts, the Red Sex
have net improved nny and Washington is suffering from a lack of pitching
talent. Of the four, only the Yenks have improved, and their reversal may
be due te the competition they have been meeting in this city. If the White
Sex, Tigers nnd Browns can lay low the Eastern teams en the present trip
as they did when the latter visited them starting a month nge the pennant
will go west of the Allcghenies.
THE Drowns are going at a rapid clip; the White Sex, tinder the
excellent guidance of Ray Schalk, Eddie Cellins and Kid Oleasen,
are fighting and winning ball games; the Tigers are all keyed up hu
their player manager, Cobb, and Cleveland ever is dangerous. The
prospects are none tee geed for this territory.
What the Rookies Have Accomplished
ROOKIE pitchers have been in the main instrumental in the boosting of
the stock of the three mere prominent Western teams. The Browns have
been using Kelp, Pructt, Danforth up after a siege in the miners Barfoot
nnd a couple of ethers, and they have been winning games. Shecker has been
Idle almost a month, and he is their most dependable twlrler.
Ty Cobb has been sheeting Stener. Oleson, I'ilictte nnd a' reuple of
ether beginners at his opponents, nnd they have been winning. The White
Sex have found Lcverette, Robertsen, Hedge nnd eue or two ether kids geed
enough te bent 'the best in the league.
Cleveland is depending en a veteran staff nnd getting nowhere. The
same applies te Bosten and the Athletics and te n lesser degree te the Sena
tors, who have a pair of twirling jewels in Phillips nnd Francis. The Yanks
have tried Murray once or twice nnd O'Deul, but they have done little, the
veterans, Mays, Heyt, Jenes, Bush and Shawkey, enrry'ing the burden.
The Athletics, if they ever hope te get out of the cellnr, must win a
majority of their games from the visitors, of whom Chicago is the first. The
last trip West was the cause of the top of the second division bubble being
burst just when the fans were hoping that thte sun would shine bright en
our American League representative.
'
THE story gees that Cennie Mack is very much peeved at the show
ing of his pets of late and that he has read the well-known and
often-quoted riot act te them. The trading of Moere is said te be the
forerunner of a couple of ethers that tcill rid the club of players who
have been soldiering en the job.
Pirates Only Surprise in National
THE situation in the National League is net nearly se interesting as it Is
in the American. The Giants are leading the battle with a fairly com
fortable margin ns they open their Western engagement. Te be exact, five
games separate them from the Cords. The Dodgers, after n peer start,
must be considered ns rhampienship contenders In third place. The Cubs',
with mediocre pitching and an almost new team, nre doing fine in fourth plnce.'
The Reds, who also Mnrted rather clumsily bv losing se manv cames that

The sudden nnd hectic downward rush of the Pirates Is the topic of
conversation wherever two smoke. begrimed citizens meet. A month age today
Geerge Gibsen had the team up there fighting in second place. Today they
are falling se fast thnt a new concrete bottom will have te be poured t'
prevent them from falling out of the league. In a month the Pesky Pirates,
as they were fondly called last year, wen ten nnd lest twentv games net
much better than the mark of the Athletics and much worse than the Phils
ever the snme stretch.
Bill McKechnie has found already thnt his new pest ns manager is any
thing but a bed of roses. One game hns been wen since he took the drooping
reins from Gibsen's bleeding hands. The team hns cracked under the strain.

a possible moving downstairs. Twe games irrrc carded, but the
weather icasn't fit enough te play even one. If the Wilhelmites de
a trifle better against the Western teams nn their own lets than
they did tchen they were home playing them they should move up the
ladder another peg.
Hornsby New Tied With Williams
THE change in the schedule and the bad weather put the kibosh en most of
.the games yesterday. The Tigers nnd the Indians played the
only game in the American, while in the Nntlenal the Cnrds and Reds and
the Cubs and Pirates engaged In thrilling contests.
Rogers Hornsby gave the Nntienal League a let of free press-agentlng
by smacking out his twentieth homer of the sensen off Cliff Mnrkle in the
eighth inning. The four-base prod brings Rogers up te a tie with Ken Wil

SEBBJLS. TITLE
Geerge Duncan Will Strive te
Take Gelf Crown Back
te England
HAS PLAYED IN THIS CITY
Geerge Duncan, who was playing pro
fessional golf when Walter Ilagcn, the
present open champion of Great Brltnln,
was one year old, Is back In the United
States. He Is all set for a crack at the
open championship of the United States,
which will be played from July 11 te
14 at the Skekle Country Club, In Chi
cago. The temperamental Briten hns long
been known ns one of the greatest medal
players In England. He tied Jim Barnes
for second nlnce In the 1022 British
open, nnd with thnt defeat ruffling his
feelings Duncan Is going te strain every
nerve te come out In the lend nt Skekle.
He Is by no means unknown te Phile
delphlnns. As long ns eleven years nge
he played Jnck McDermott. then the
nntlenal open tltleheldcr, ever the links
nf the Philndelphin Cricket Club. His
style of sheeting almost before he hal
taken his stance nstenlshed the gallery,
and It is still his hnbit te piny shots
very rnpldly. Yet Duncan, in spite
of this trait, Is an expert en both line
nnd distance. He Is erratic at times
and can rise te the very greatest heigfits
or sink te the depths.
Tempernment Is the reason of this,
nnd It is nlse quite likelv that this very
tempernment is responsible for his rapid
sheeting. He doesn't want te give him
self time te worry ever shots.
n'lm fielil nt sickle will embrace the
finest golfing talent in the world, nnd
Duncan will find his work cut out for
him te keep in the hunt.
Persennllv Duncan Is a very likable
fellow, a rather subdued Fert of man.
who rnrelv tnlks much except te his
clee friends. He likes Amerlcn ana
Americans, nnd he hns the most pleas
ant recollections of his previous trips
te these shores.
Made $20,000 en First Visit
The most plensnnt of them, probably,
is the fact that he engaged in 200
matches nt $100 each during his first
two months' visit. Duncan hns been
met successful financially in hi
golfing efforts, and never mere se than

In America and dethroning Jim Parties,
Duncan is confident enough himself, but
something mere than confidence nnd
his mnrvoleus sheeting will prebnbly be
needed when the kings et golfdem get

The Philadelphia Cricket Club's new

10 BEREINSTATED
Jack Hines Again Seeks Affilia
tion With Philadelphia Base
ball Association
RESIGNED A MONTH AGO
By WILLIAM S. DALLAS
The Philadelphia Baseball Association
evidently means something. Much hns
been written about the new organization j
which sprang -into custence early this
spring te take ever the activities of the
semi-pre teams In this locality, and j
ninny persons nnve advanced wonderful
Ideas as te hew the organization slteuld
be conducted.
Being entirely new, it wns expected
that mistakes would be made. Blunders
came, ns expected, but the biggest fault
of the officials was a laxity in enforcing
rules.
This was pertly due te the less of
President Heward M. Donevan, who
was taken seriously 111 with pneumonia
before the scas-en opened. On his re re
ceery he was ordered te drop nil base
ball activities, and immediately dis
banded the Donevan-Armstrong team
and resigned the presidency.
New President Firm
After waiting nearly a month It wes
decided te elect a new president, nnd
the Heard of Governors tinnnlmnuslv
decided en Geerge P. Cnrtwright, well
. . ., '. .. . . :; -. "

Ills first move was te suspend twenty-six

hns been granted. He is' new In the

Ing clubs of the city net affiliated with '

This Is n triumph for nerve for sheer grit. Psayler has lest many, mnnj

Put athletic success was his dream. He-wcnt Inte track and field sports with

When he entered the University of Missouri the story of his gnmc battle

Today Hamilton Is a finished vaulter, jumper, shot-putter, discus and
