John HORSE RACING MOnE POPULAR Baseball Menaced by Counter Attraction in ; Middle West. By JOHN B. FOSTER (Copyright, 1925, by Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Aug. —Growth of public interest in horse racing and the steady increase in the num- ber of tracks throughout the United States, han reached the point whore ft is giving baseball officials and club owners serious concern. It has always been understood in baseball that while there is little in common between the national game and the track, interest has been var- fed with the prevalence of racing. In the old days in New York, before racing was checked by the law against book-making, the attend- ance at baseball games was mark- edly affected. Interest in racing here has in- ereased as the word-of-mouth book+ makers, who conduct al! financial transactions away from the track, multiplied in number, For «a long time there has been no racing in the vicinity of Chicago and Daseball attendance there has grown. But racing interests have been fighting to get into Chicago or near the city and have made such headway that the baseball! turnstiles already have begun to suf. fer. Cleveland and Pittsburgh have been largely exempt from racing, but Cleveland now has plenty of racing near at hand and baseball there is suffering. That is true, also, of Cincinnat!, where the ball elub must be in the midst of a red het race to hold the fans* interest ESTION BOX —_—— If you have some question to ask abeut baseball, football, box- ing or any other amateur or pro- fessional sport— w Write to John B, Foster, on Daseball.

A.—New York Nationals won 26 in e@uceeasion in 1916. Q.—Runner on third base. Bat- ter strikes third time. Catcher got the ball on a pick-up. Batter thought he was out and went to the players’ bench. Manager told him to go to first. Runner scored and the catcher tossed the ball back to the pitcher. Umpire said batter was safe but team in field said he was yt. Finally the batter was permit- ted to remain on first but the run ner was sent back to third. Was this right? A—No. The batter was safe, No play Was made for him &t first and he coyld have run around the field so long as he touched that base. Runner on third scored, fielding team being caught asleep. @.—Suppose a manager signs for a fight and his fighter is in no con- dition to go through with it. Must he meet the obligation? —The fighter is bound by the man signature.

FOSTER (Copyright, 1925, by Casper Tribune) SW YORK, Aug. 20.—One year ago the difference in standing be, tween New York and Pittsburgh in the National league was almost iden. tical with that which exists now except that the places were reversed | with the Giants in the lead and tho Pirates second. The Giants were {n the lead con- stantly after the first week in April last.year. The Pirates attained « ond place on the week-end of Au- gust 9, held it five weeks, flopped back to third, regained second and once more flopped back to third, ! here they finished. Last year, as in many years be. fore, the Pirates were not a team of certainty and that {sone reason why baseball studénts will not con- cede them this year's pennant until they have it cinched beyond a pos: sibility of a slip. Tho Giants can carry the Pirates into the last week of the race be- fore the race is settled and they bid fair to do just that. The Pirates in order to make sure of tho pen: nant must win about 28 more games. aiebiggenhanlbpiaeaisiahyaas When some people ome sun burnt they experience a feeling of lassityude and depression.
