"Both nines distinguished them selves by good teamwork, and it was only in the last few innings that the big bats of the Ambulance lads connected with the benders of the Field Service pitcher.

I'l/^5 TUESDAY EVENING, C&C&mtJanclJiice Copyright, 1817, The Tribune Association (Nev" York. Tribune). If some one should coyly suggest that Cincinnati's embattled Reds had a more powerful attack than the old Athletics or the old Cubs he would probably be hooted out of the Rooters' Row. Yet the cold, clammy, pallid, uncontrovertible figures to-day show the Reds are rushing along with the heaviest wallop any ball club has shown since Cleveland one year showed up at mid-season with eight .300 hit ters, led by Lajoie in his prime. Some while back a heavy wave of depression settled over those who esteem the wallop above all other features <ft the game, for the room was abroad that the good old days of slug and swat were about extinct. The Reds under Mathewson have revived the ancient glory of the game. For when they started this week's onslaugh they had no less than six regulars Jat .300 or better—one of the most amazing batting records of modern I Play. | Here were the marks early In the week— Clarke, catcher—.3so. I Roush, outfielder—.347. Griffith, outfielder —.314. Neale, outfielder—.3o6. 'j Chase, infielder—.3o2. ; Groli, infielder —.300. i ! Most managers are fairly well satisfied when they have one .300 out. I fielder dallying on the assignment. j Those who have two produce three rousing cheers at stated intervals. | It is only once in a decade that a manager has three outfielders over .300. The Yanks have been looking for one for the last ten years. THE RED ASSAULT | Brief mention has been made before of the Red attack. But it de ' serves more of this age of effete batting, when the average ballplayer is j around .245 or .250. Last year the Reds had but one .300 glow-worm, the same being Hal Chase, Roush, Griffith, Neale and Groh were all under .270. Clarke was I under .240. | But the punch has come upon the Red company with a compact rush. ! To-day they have made more hits and scored more runs than any other I ball club In either league. They are well out beyond the Giants and Tigers, I the next two most powerful clubs. They have a club batting average of .267, up to the mark of the old i Mackmen and beyond the drive of the old Cubs. And with this assault they have in Fred Toney the leading winner of the year, on his way to thirty victories. If Toney runs up this output he I will be the first Red pitcher to get this far in thirty years. The power of he Reds is shown in the fact that of their last nine games against the Giants they have won six and lost three —and they have done i the bulk of it by mauling the missile, pounding the pill, swatting the | sphere or hitting the baseball. Just as you may care to have it put. THE OUIMET STATUS i Francis Ouimet is now Amateur Champion, of the West. In the East ' he is the most isolated golfer the game has ever known. He refuses to play as a professional—he is ineligible to play as an | amateur. So while his home is along the Atlantic seaboard his tourna j ment. range must be west of the Alleghenles. The South stands with the I West on this proposition, as most of the leading Southern golf clubs are I members of the W. G. A. Some day Ouimet may be tossed into the peculiar situation of playing ; upon a course along the border line between the two sections—where for j the first nine holes he will be an amateur and for the last nine a profes j sional. Our sportive situation is in a beautiful and exquisite tangle when ]a certain golfer is an. amateur among 50,000,000 and a professional among ; 50,000,000 others; and when leading tennis players are amateurs after ; doing certain things that make leading golfers professionals. LIMERICK OF THE LINKS A golfer once shouted "Good Heavens! To-day I could wallop Chick Evans!" But the next day he started He quit broken-hearted, With nothing but sizes and sevens. R. S. A. THE H. R. K. RETURNS Frank Baker, of New York and Trappe, fought his way Into the .300 I class early this week for the first time since he surrendered or swapped the I bat for the hoe back In 1914. Last season Baker was unable to reach .280, i and for the first two months of the present campaign he was sadly out of focus. But as the rumor went around that the once eminent Home Run King had abdicated for good, the Trappe Terror started back for his own. In the last five weeks he has batted well over .400—up to the top mark of his best years and a trifle beyond. With his old confidence restored. Baker will now undoubtedly finish among the elect. With Baker and Mclnnis now over the mark, it remains for Eddie Col lins to cover up the gap. Just at present Eddie is back around .274, but he still has the stretch ahead and force of habit should do the rest. Harvard Not to Drop Football Sport Entirely Cambridge, Mass., July 24.—Al though Harvard University has can celed its varsity football schedule for next fall, the sport will still be en couraged, Fred W. Moore, graduate manager of athletics, said yesterdav. The rule barring freshmen from the varsity team probably will be waiv ed and games with New England colleges arranged, he stated. Cross-country running and associa tion football will be subject to simi lar conditions, according to Mr. Moore. HAJSRISBURG TELEGRAPH MUCH INTEREST IN BIG BATTLE Leonard-Kilbane Bout One of Best Arranged in Many Years Philadelphia, July 24.—The interest of the boxing enthusiasts of the coun try will be centered this week on the six-round bout between Benny Leon ard. the world's lightweight cham pion. and Johnny Kilbane, of Cleve land, premier boxer In the feather weight ranks, which will be held to morrow night at Shibe Park, the home of the American League base ball club. * This contest, while it is only for six rounds, stands out as one of the best boxing eyents of recent years, bringing together, as it does, the leading boxers in the two most popu lar classes of the ring sport. The amount of the guarantees for each boxer is illustration of the confidence of the promoters behind this big bout, and indications point to the fact that this confidence in the drawing power of having two champions as oppo nents will not be misplaced. Alreaay the promoters have received requests for seats from boxing followers in various parts of the country, ana there will be large delegations of boxing fans from both New York and Cleveland. Working on a Guarantee The boxers are both working on a guarantee of SIO,OOO each, a tidy sum for an athlete to receive for eight een minutes' actual work. If the ex pectations of the promoters are ful filled the event will draw a forty thousand-dollar gate. The probability of a knockout is cidedly remote, although by no means an impossibility. Both boxers will extend their best efforts to the won: of ending the contest in convincing style, but, with two such clever and brainy glovemen facing each other, the chances of a decisive ending in such a short bout are slim. They are conceded to be the two cleverest box ers In the ring, and in this connection Kilbane has an edge on his younger and more inexperienced adversary. Kilbane a Veteran Kilbane's experience—he is a vet eran of several years of hard boxing —also gives him a slight edge on Leonard in the matter of hitting abil ity, for the Clevelander is known for his ability to finish an opponent witn a short, snappy blow which travels only a matter of inches, while Leon ard. in all his latest bouts ending with knockouts in his favor, has shown that he must batter down a rival before being able to put over the decisive blow. In the matter of weight Leonard will have an advan tage, but this advantage will be small for it is said that Kilbane has grown too heavy for his own class and is much nearer the lightweight limit or 133 pounds than he is the feather weight poundage. ©iiorutvaou, YESTERDAY'S SCORES American League Chicago. 5; Boston, 3.

The only other bantam he could have signed at this time was Frankie Brown. Brown just suffered a knock out at Frankie Burns' hands, how ever, and it was not believed he would prove a good attraction.
