(By The Associated Press) While favorite sons and dark horses continue to jockey for position in the hectic battle of hits and runs which hag afadlocked the American League since April 15, Stanley Harris has tenaciously swung his Washington Senators in- to a strong position in the race for the championship nom- ination until today he stands 19 votes in the ercentage Pabedan Sarason tokio atric SCOUTS WRONG Although the Senators broke the By JOHN B.

Most of them did, Some On the first ballot Detroit got five to Washington's two, but Harris, mingling among his delegation of pitchers swung Russell Ogden into line and on the second ballot gained a 4 to 2 majority, New York's vote was challenged and on recount swung solidly to Chi+ cago, 8 to 6, Mostil's wark bein, largely responsible for plurality. décided he wastoo short to make a good outfielder. Others sald he was too slow. Still others said he would never hit in fast company as he was doing at Portsmouth, The Giant scout did not announce his verdict vublicly, but it caused Mahager McGraw to acquire Wilson. Now while the rest of the acouts are thinking up alibis, the folks. Lee Fohl's Boston delegates, who had shown unexpected strength on down Virginia way are scanning the box scores to keep up with their the earlier ballots, but who later slumped when the rising tidé had swung sharply to Washington, came back strong when George Sisler re leased his supporters and made a clean sweep on two consecutive bal- lots, 5 to 4, and 5 to 0, Tris Spea! who has been lying back waiting for the leaders to Spend their fury, suddenly opened up a conference with Connie Mack, lead- er of the Philadelphia delegation and lned up his Athletlew on two straight ballots, 3 to 1 and 6 to 3.

For, with South- worth injured, Wilson has been a regular Giant since June 12 and Judging from the pace he Is setting, Southworth will have to go some to get his place back: Wilson not only has proved a clean-up hitter, but is rather nifty in the centerfield, des- pite his weight. Wilson led the Virginia league last year with a batting average of 388. It Is odd how many minor leaguers Uke him are passed up by the clubs that need them worst, only to be taken on by some club that does not appear at the moment to need them, This Wilson would have been a fine investment for Brooklyn or Cin- clnnatt. Ho would. have been good for’most any club, in fact, but both Brooklyn and Cincinnat! especially needed a hard-hitting outfielder. ‘Wilson proved that he could hit Jong distance with Portsmouth Zor his record included 87 two-baggers, 16 triples and 19 home ‘runs. That should haye been enough to interest all the managers. He certainly has proved his worth in fast company with the Giants.

At its annual meeting, Fred J. ith of Brooklyn was re-elected president, and R. 8. ‘Cum. mings of Pawtucket, R. I., was re- elected treasurer. Former national secretary Thomas W. Cahill, who founded the league, was made ‘secre- tary; Michael IF’, Kelly of Bethlehem Steel Co. was elected vice-president, and James Armstrong of Brooklyn, recording secretary. Nathan Agar, head of the Bro@k- lyn Wanderers, in the course of a 18- hour session, made an address eulog- ling Cahill, sometimes called “the father of American socer," who was abruptly removed last spring from office in the U. 8S. F. A., which he organized 13 years ago and had con- trolled ever since. Agar's tribute to the deposed czar was significant in that he was one of Cahill's earliest and, for long, most vigorous enemies in soccer legislation and administra- tion.

TUNNEY MAY MEET GIBBONS By FAIR PLAY. (Copyright. 1924, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, July 10.—If Gette Tunney gets by Carpentier—which he exp to do—his next opponent will, all probability, be Tommy Gibbons. There has been no public demand for such a match to date because of the bellet that Tunney is not up to the St. Paul walloper. But if he should make better showing against the Frenchman than did Tommy, the fact that the St. Paul mittman fought under con- ditions that prevented him from doing his best will be,lost sight of generally and a Tunney-Gibbons meeting will haye a money value. (United Press Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, July 10.—(United Press).—Un! a change is made in the Jockey Club rules, this may be] S: the last season that Karl Sande, justly popular rider for the Rancecas Stables, will be seen in action on the American turf, Tt is to be hoped that some change will be made, for the tall youngster is the greatest jockey produced in this country—-not excepting the great Tod Sloan—and it would be a shame to lose him. The trouble !s that Sande has great difficulty in making the low weight required of riders on our turf. Barl has to take Turkish baths and under: go all sorts of nerve racking and often, physically weakening exerc! and, torture to get down to the 116 pound: often required of him. Sande would not quit riding it he had to give it up over here. He is the recelplent of more flattering of; fers from the other side, especially from England, where they want him to ride. The scale of weights in the British Isles and on the Continent is considerably higher than here, and Sande would undoubtedly win much fame in Europe. The former South Dakota cowboy has already shown that he can give Steve Doroghue, who, until this year, was England's premier jock, cards and spades and beat him riding any day In the week. : Some say it is Mrs. Sande who is raising the chief objection to Earl's continuing to ride here. She believes Doubleheader While Texacos and Lavoye Will Meet in First.
