r g SPORTS. CHANCE TQ RETURN HOME IN FIRST PLACE NOT ROSY Zach’s Failure in New, York Makes It Necessary for Champ’s to Win Two While A’s Are Losing for Top Post to Be Recovered. BY JOHN B. KELLER. W YORK, July 24—Undaunted by the failure of one of his left- handed pitchers here, Manager Bucky Harris probably will send another against the Yankees tomorrow. The Hugmen took quite a fancy to the offerings of Jez Zachary yesterday, pounding him hard enough to get a good start toward an 1l-to-7 victory, but the Nationals’ hoss figures.they may not do so well against Dutch Ruether in the sec- ond game qf the series. y There is a chance, however, that Walter Johnson, who has been away from the firing line since June 30, may toe the slab for the champs in the Saturday tilt. The big fellow seems fully recovered from the ravages of an attack of tonsilitis and fit to resume his job. Walter warmed up be- fore yesterday's engagement, and had he pronounced himself ready he, 1stead of Zach, would have been given the assignment, but the veteran felt he needed a day or two more of drilling.

NEW YORK, July 24—East and West have divided honors in the in- tersectional major league play an analysis of the conflict up to date re- veals. Western clubs in the League, the tabulation shows, have won three more games than their rivals. along the Atlantic seaboard while In the American circuit the Eas erners hold a one-game margin in the standing. Individually, however, the East sets the pace, with the Philadelphia Ath- letics having the best average of any of the 16 clubs. The New York Glants and Washing- ton, 1924 world series rivals, are next in line, but this prestige for the East- ern side of the major league picture is partially offset by the fact that the Boston Red Sox have the lowest in- tersectional standing—.31 National AMERICAN LEAGUE.

He is the leading pitcher in the Amer- ican League right now, with 13 vic- tories in 14 starts, his last 12 starts re- sulting in victories. “And Dutch Ruether, discarded by the Cincinnati and Brooklyn clubs, is pitching over .600 ball for us.

He spoke to a big left-hander on the bench next to him. “Tom, do you think your arm feels well enough to stand off the Yanks today?” “It feels fine, and I'd like to pitch today,” was the answer. “All right, Zachary will pitch to- day,” said Harris.

LONDON, July 24.—Underwriters at Lloyds, whose readiness to bet against anything in the world is well known, are being deluged from both sides of the Atlantic with orders from people who want to back Miss Gertrude Ederle’s chances of swimming the English Channel. Recently the rate was a premium of five guineas (about $25 per £100 ster- ling, or a little less than 20 to 1), but so many orders have come from the United States during the last few days that the odds have dropped to 15 guineas per £100, or about 7 to 1. Several large “policies” have been written at longer odds. Technically, of course, Lloyds does not bet. Underwriters call it under- writing insurance against Miss Ederle’s failure or success.

Griffs Now Face Fight to Regain Lead : White Sox Are Making Plucky Battle ALL CREDIT FOR SHOWING DUE PILOT EDDIE COLLINS Veteran Second Baseman Has Kept Comiskey’s Clubh Higher in the Current Pennant Race Than It Has Been for Several Years Past. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, July 24—One of the stubbornest fights being waged b any base ball club this season is the fight of the Chicago Whitc Sox to $fick in third place. Casual reference has been made now and then to the fact that the team still has its head above water, but the Sox haven't been given all the credit to which they are entitled, including their manager. Go back two years ago to 1923 and you will find that the Sox were above fifth place on a week end only twice during the season, and then fourth place was the highest they could get. Much of the time they lan guished. The players had got out of the hand of “Kid” Gleason. In 1924 Gleason was to have been supplanted by Frank Chance, but Chance never was able to report. Evers took charge and Johnny fail- ed a5 manager, as he had failed be- fore; because he lacked the personal touch which will encourage the timid the week end found the Sox back in fourth place, but they are in third again now and bid fair to be there the week end. and rub the hard birds down with Chisox Tough for Griffs. sandpaper.
