Big Star
Here Is a story from abroad on a
baseball game, sent to the New York
Herald:
"About one hundred and fifty per
sons went out to the Colombes dia
mond yesterday afternoon and saw
the baseball team of the American
Ambulance at Neuilly defeat by a
score of 8 to 4 the nine of the
American Field Service, 21 rue Ray
nouard, in a practice game full of In
terest.
"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.
Loomis On First
"Ted" Loomis, the crack runner of
the Chicago A. A., played the first
bag for the losers in a manner to
make "Hal" Chase take notice. In
cidentally, Loomis won a safety razor
set for getting the longest drive.
The box score follows:

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.

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.
