In the 14th inning of to- day's game with the White Sox bere, Ruth broke a 4 to 4 tle by smacking the ball into the right field bleachers for the circuit. Wednesday he broke up an eleven inning tle between the Yanks and Detroit, in New York, with a four base clout. Connally} who pitched for the Sox today, twirled an excellent game, hanging up nine strike outs. Ruth fanned twice. There were two strikes and three balls on Ruth when Connally sailed a fast one about waist ‘high. Ruth's bat connected solidly and the- ball sailed high into the right field bleachers, just tw feet from the top of the fence. It was a tremend- ous smash. ‘Ruth trotted around the bases amid a roar of applause. Ruth was given another hand when he trotted out in the field for the last half.

The French racing marvel is working out to the entire satisfaction of his trainer, who said this morning that the horse would be kept at light work for a while to see if the change in climate af-, fects hirh. Because of a slight tendency to nervousness which~Epinard develop- ed at the throngs of visitors which have crowded about the Sanford stable where he Js quartered, it has been decided to restrict the “per- sonal interviews." From 10 in the morning until four -in the after- noon, the racer will be in sechifsion and the crowds will be barred. From four to five, however, he will be on exhibition and the -public is wel- come at the early morning work- outs which start about 7.30 o'clock rain or shine. The blacksmith from the Sanford Stud farm fitted Ep'nard to his first pair of American shoes yesterday and while the shoes are slightly heavier than the French footgear, which are made of aluminum, the racer seemed perfectly satisfied with the change. The easy training perlod for the French horse probably will continue until after the first of August, and the real hard work for the first race which is to take place at Bel- mont Park on Labor Day will be commenced about the second week 26.—While Epinard, in August. Early morning visitors ot the track to watch Epinard work out are increasing daily and include many women who seem to have taken a great fancy to the French r It is said that the fact the feminine portion of the visitors to the stable insisted upon petting and caressing the foreign star is largely responsible for the order secluding the racer~ during the major porfion of the day.

If Columbus, Milwaukee and Minneapolis had been included, as they thought they were going to be, the American Association would have developed a fight hot enough to raise the temperature all over the Mississippi valley and lake region. San Francisco started to run away with the dead in the coast league and suddenly discovered Seattle looming up alongside and from that day to the present the Seals hav: not been able to shake the gaunt spectre of the northwest.

First in News Of All Events BOSS STARS ENTERED FOR SEABRIGHT Tennis Tourney Opens -Monday With Many In Running. NEW YORK, July 26. Untted Press)—The thirty-first annual in- vitation tournament of the Sea- bright Lawn Tennis and Cricket club will be held at Seabright, starting Monday, July 28. Play in the men’s singles and doubles and Indies’ singles will be for the Sea- bright Bowls. Last year, William M. Johnston won permanently the first Seabright Bowl, having ob- tained three legs on it. On this bewl, William T. Tilden had one leg and William M. Washburn one. An- other Seabright Bow! has been plac- ed in competition, Mrs. Molla Bjur- stedt Mallory last year won the third leg on the Seabright Bowl for ladies’ singles and another bowl has been placed in competition. William M. Johnston and Clarence J. Grif- fin last year won a leg on the Sea- bright Bowls for doubles, on which William M. Washburn and R. Nor- ris Williams have tyo legs, William T. Tilden and Vincent Richards have one leg and William M. Wash- burn and Beals C. Wright have one log. The Achelis cup, which was put in competition by the club In 1905, was won permanently by R. Norris Williams in 1916.

WILLIAM JOHNSTON 10 BE WATCHED IN PLAY: FOR SEABRIGHT TITLE By LAWRENCE PERRY. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, July 26.—Of chief interegt in the many interesting points in the annual tournament of the Seabright Tennis and Cricket club which begins on Monday will be the form displayed by William Johnston, our second ranking player. Little Bill has done no tourna- ment playing to date. He has been building himself up for a six weeks’ campaign at the end of which he hopes—and expects—to find himself at the very peak of his form and in better condition than he has ever been. e Last year, Johnston went abroad in the spring, playing in France and Ongland and wiinning all sorts of honors, including the singles cham- pionship at Wimbledon. Returning to this country, his further career was a marked retrogression. Anderson, the Australian, defeated him at singles in the Davis cup matches at Forest Hills and at Germantown in the national singles he was not in a condition to give William Tilden any sort of opposi tion, There may be a different story this season. Certainly if a careful regimen and a strategic arrange- ment of playing engagements are all that. is necessary to put the Californian back upon the top of the heap, he may be expected to stand forth once more as second to none.
