' MAY DECIDE FLAG RACE Indications Are, However, That Title Will Not Be Settled Until Final Games of the Campaign. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. HE four-game series between New York and Cleveland, starting to- T day at the Polo Grounds, unquestionably will have important bear- ing on the championship of the American League, but it is almost certain that the ownership of the title will be settled when Cleveland is playing Chicago in the last four games of the year. 1f New York and Cleveland should happen to break even nothing would be settled. The race is such a single game, in the event of an even-Steven affair in New York, might upset the figures again. There is every reason to believe that so far as Cleveland is concerned its fate will be definitely settled on the grounds of the Chicago White Sox. The honte fans of Cleveland will not have a chance to see the last grapple unless they excursion to Chicago. . if the Yankees win four straight from Cleveland, which is roaming the lso'm M.’ se.

Col. Brown and Maj. Wilson. Hitchcock's play was the outstand- ing feature of the contest. He scored | six of Rockaway's goals, one of which was a backhand smash from a forty- five degree angle. His riding, ac- curacy in stroking and mallet hook- ing were almost perfect. Morgan Bel- mont also scored six goals for Rock- away, every one of them on spectacu- lar dashes down the fleld. Both the backs, J. Cheever Cowdin, for Rockaway, and Maj. Erwin, for the Army. plaved excelient defensive games, each blocking on at'least half a dozen occasions what seemed a sure score. Cowdin saved one score by a backhand smash as the ball was about to roll through the posts. —_————— AMERICAN ASSOCIATION. 1. 13; Louisville, 8. 6: Indianapolis, 5. 1 i i TUST OMNE EAR OF CORN WITHBUTTER OM VT ComMTAIMS 200 CALORIES!

VETERANS AND RECRUITS PLAYING AT FAR CORNER American Leaguers Depend on “Old Timers,” While National League Leaders Are Making Use of Youngsters. BY BILLY EVANS. Frisch, New York Nationsl—One of the real sensations of recent years. Very fast on his feet and has a wonderful throwing arm. Can kick the ball around and then get the batter. Bats either right or left handed, according to the style of pitching he is facing, and is a dangerous man at the plate. Gardner, Cleveland Americans—A great third baseman who is beginning to show the ravages of time. Is a lefthanded batsman, and is as dangerous as ever at the plate. Has slowed up a bit on feet, which, of course, cuts down his ground-covering possibilities. Seems always to be at his best in a pinch. Baker, New York Americans—He of home run fame, who has done a great come-back after several years of retirement. Like Gardner, he has slowed up some, due in a measure 10 injuries he suffered to his legs. One of the game's really great hitters. Barnhart, Pittsburgh Nationals—A youngster lacking the experience and polish of the other trio, yet a most promising player, who has fitted in nicely at third, and greatly helped round out the Pirate infield.
