The Elks, the one team that had a chance to give the refinery men a run, dropped out of it yesterday by losing to the Texacos in a free hit- ting game, 10 to 9. Heavy hitting and the excellent pitching of Bill Loggy was too much for the Elks. Loggy, incidentally, won his own game with the score tied in the ninth when he hit one far into right center and scored the winning tally. -Previous to that Zoble had hit_a circuit clout for the Texacos, and also contributed a triple and a double. Loggy also contributed a homer in the fourth. His winning hit in the ninth was scored as a double although it looked as though he could have completed the circuit. ‘Waitman, who started for the Elks; was not in his usual form and in the eighth he was pulled in favor of Jimmie Quinlam Quinlan although an outfielder, has been thrown in the box numerous times to stem the tide of an opposing bat- ting rally, Yesterday he held them down until Loggy’s fatal hit with two out in the ninth. ‘The second game was a tight one ees st Nahe Snare ah foam ce cabaliakte - Standings | NATIONAL LEAGUE, Clubs— WwW.

FOSTER (Copyright 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Aug. 4.—In the first three games since thé Detroit Tigers got home and began facing the eastern teams, Cobb and Heil- mann failed to get a hit. That is one of the big reasons why the Tigers are not winning at the rate they did in the east. There is no explanation to be found for this loss of batting power any more than an explanation can be found anytime when a man can’t hit the ball. It's an} inci- dent. however, that must command attention in the tight American League race. For Cobb alone to have gone for two or three games without getting a hit would have been a matter of more than passing interest for Cobb usually gets some sort of a hit even if it’s a slow one. It would be unusual for Heilman to go hitless many days in a row, though he does have his hitless days. But when the two of them go into a batting slump simultaneously at such a critical point in the race, it is something for Detroit to worry about. For the last three or four years there has been an impression that Detroit might have come through with a championship if only they had been fortunate enough to .pos- sess some batter pitchers. This summer they are getting better pitching than they have had for several seasons. Heilmann, by now that good pitching has arrived bad luck, had to be made the goat, as he has not batted up to par since he had sinus trouble. This sinus trouble batters’ pol- son. Cobb isn’t having sinus trouble but he having managerial conniptions and mayhe they have got into his eyes. The Tigers, by winning at the rate of two thirds- of their home games prior to the time that the Yankeos arrived in Detroit, could have put he American League race where the champion Yanks would have been on the defensive. It was out of the ordinary when Cincinnati dropped a doubleheader and found herself with a 50-50 stand- ing at the start of the home stretch. It was a coincidence that the Yankees dropped a double header whose loss brought them to he century mile post. If there is anything in portents, the Yankees sonal reply enclose a stamped, (Copyright, Question—Three runners are on 1924, the bases. One hand is out.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.—Uncle Sam will have an excellent opportunity this coming month to look over the field of Davis Cup challengers and seo just what it is our team has to beat to keep what sports call the “coveted trophy” in this countr, over the winter. More foreign tennis stars than ever before are gathered in tho east for matches of one sort or another, elimination contests, the nationals and all sorts of invitation tourna ments, : The challenge round for the Davis Cup will bo played at the German: town Cricket club September 11, 12 and 13. Perhaps the most serious challenge now comes from Australia, although to us the French looked strongest. ‘The Australians haye just voted to expend 14,000 pounds on a new stad lum for tennis at Rushcutter’s bay, where their national matches, and— they hope—international events, such as would take place if they won the Davis cup, can be staged. While the Australian team may not carry home the cup this season, the Antl- podeans are looking to the future, Norman Brokes, the veteran who Partnered the late war hero, Wilding, and who showed a flash of his old form In the recent all-England cham- pionships at Wimbledon, is a great booster for the younger players on the Australian team.

That is what faces Benny Leonard, now scheduled to fight Micky Walker 15 rounds at the Yankee Stadiur August 19.
