MINORS HAVING A SEASON | OF STARTLING REVERSES BY JOHN B. FOSTER. ASE BALL fans in minor league cities have witnessed a season thus far of greater reverses and more ample variety for the minors than any season since 1919 Three minor league races were turned upside down this year. The Fort Worth team, winner of the Texas League pennant in 1926, has traited in its league. i The Providence team, winner of the 1926 flag in the Eastern League, now is in last place. : The Lonisville Colonels, winners of 1926 race in the American Association, have found the cellar this season. The Toronto team, which won the International League 1926 pennant, has not slipped to the dungeon, while 1he New Orleans team, winrer in the Southern Association in 192 of surrendering has been putting up a great fight for the lead against Bir- mingham, which has been playing great base ball. : In the three races in which positions have been reversed newcomers have been setting the pace. Toledo has been rampant in the American Asso- ciation, or as nearly rampant as a team can be in that league. The cir- cuit always has its close fight. Albany has been leading in the Eastern League. Time was when Al- hany was synonymous with leader. Mighty good ball players went from that city to the big leagues. One of them was Ned Hanlon and another was Fred Dunlap, than whom no bet- ter second baseman ever lived, and none may ever surpass him. It is odd 10 look upon Albany and Pittsfield as contenders. They are side by side as cities. At times about 100 points are all that separate the leader from last place in the Eastern League. It is a| fine fight and Albany will have to be fit for a grueling finish if it is to last through. Wichita Falls has challenged for a pennant in the Texas League before this year, but never has put so much sinew into the fight as it is putting forth in 1927. Fort Worth is a dan- gerous team at that—it is tied for fourth place with Dallas—and is likely 10 be nosing around the top at thi end of the race. It has lifted itsel out of last place and its defeats are dwindling. Once the Fort Worth team BIG LEAGUE STATISTICS AMERICAN LEAGUE. YESTERDAY'S RESULTS. Cloveland.

On the Pacific Coast the reversal of the champlonship team to the cel- lar has been a feature of that battle. Los Angeles run away with the pen- nant in 1926 and has been thrashed from the start in the current sea- son. It is now in last place. Variety of that kind can’t be beat- en. It shows, too, how minor league championsiip fans are riddled for the next vear. They lose so many play- ers to the big circus that they are not fit to make pace in the following season. Whether playing to capacity one year and empty henches the nex is good for the minors is something that they haven't solved as v spite their long-winded ar about drafts for players and that sort of thing. Los Angeles did not support a championship team as well in 1926 as it was expected the fans would. No city has a more beautiful park to provide comfort for the customers ;\'h‘:le the players provide the base all. Although Syracuse was not last in 1926 in the International League, it was nearly last, and the team has been in front this year, so that the condition has been somewhat similar to that in other minor leagues where complete reversals have been the order of the day. Syracuse is in second place today, battling with Buffalo for the lead. Another mas- ter pitcher named Johnson has been uncovered at Syracuse. His first name is Sylvester and he is the young man who pitched a no-hit, no- run game against Buffalo on Sun- day. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, August 2.—It is apparent right now, in spite of the small amount of prac- tice which the British Indian polo invaders have been able to get in, that the international match against the American four on the famous fleld at Meadowbrook s going to be a thrilling ‘“hellfor-leather” contest. In_ weeks to come, with settled weather, there will be plenty of oppor- tunity for the Britishers to hit their stride, it being understood that so far as organization goes the team right now is equipped with a lot of team essentials, as for instance, knowledge of one another's play and the inter- locking requirements of the four posi- tions. As to effects of bad weather, the Americans, who are pretty badly in need of practice themselves, have been no better off than the British Watching these British army offi- cers whose station is in India and who come here with the idea of showing the world that the best British_polo is not played at Hurlingham or Rane- lagh, the thought came to the writer what a rich store of tradition these matches for the international trophy already have accummulated.

Tncidents such as mark only a hard- riding, devil-may-care game like polo, have occurred in thrilling sequence and memory kindles with the brave and gallant and picturesque person- alities which have heen associated with these great international con- tests, So far as tradition Is concerned the years have begun to multiply pretty heavily since matches for the international trophy first began, it being, in fact, in 1886 that the British sent a four to ewport and took to ngland the trophy put up by the West Chester Polo Club of that re sort. There it remained until 1909, when Harry Payne Whitney, father of modern polo in America, went to Eng- land with the two Waterburys, Larry and Monty, and Devereux—the illus- trious big four—and swamped the British defenders at Hurlingham, | partly by virtue of individual abflity but chiefly through a brand of com- bination of plays which utterly amaz. ed and discomfited the Britons. | _Since then at occasional intervals America have met in and man and England and | these tests of steed |~ Official Corbin SPEEDOMETER SERVICE We Repair All Makes CREEL BROS. 1811-17 14th St. N.W.

Club officials would not admit the sale, although they said negotiations were under way. Dany Long, White Sox scout, and Bill Essick, scout for the New York Yankees, have been on the Oakjand fleld several days. They were said to be interested in Lary and Jimmy Reese, second baseman.

England had polo players in those One thinks glowingly of Capt. tson, captain of the 1913 outfit, a gallant rider and knightly foeman with whom one associates all those qualities that belong to a British cavalryman at his highest and best. And no less than he was Maj. Barrett of the 1914 combination, whose qual- ities of leadership, as well as signal playing ability, resulted in a consoli- dated and unbeatable four. Leslie St. George Cheape, who was killed 1n the war, comes to mind; one of the greatest forwards who | ever sat a horse.

And of the Americans Foxhall Keene, who played in the first cup match In 1886 and all in all probably was the greatest horseman and polo player combined that this country ever produced. Keene played nine- zoal polo down to 1913 at least, when a fall and collision with a goal post knocked him out of his final chance to make a place on the big four. And one thinks glowingly of Henry L. Herbert, first chairman of the American Folo Association, who de- voted his life to building up the zame.

TILDEN WILL APPEAR IN SEABRIGHT EVENT ¢ By JABRIGHT, N. J., August Fresh from two triumphs in the West, Big Bill Tilden was due today to de- fend here his ranking as America's premier tennis player against a_bril- liant field, Tilden tops the draw for the thirty- fourth annual invitation tournament of Seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket Club, having been made a heavier favorite by the fact the tourney is played on grass, the lanky Philadel- phian's favorite surface. He is bracketed first with James Quick of Texas and, winning there, will meet the winner of the match in which Arnold W. Jones of Providence was leading Percy Kynaston, New York, when the rain came. Among Tilden’s crack opponents for the Seabright men’s title, which Vin- cent Richards, now a professional, won last year, are the young Cali- fornian, John Doeg; George Lott of Chicago, who has heaten Tilden, and other rising stars besides other vet- erans. Another American favorite, Helen ‘Wills, has withdrawn from the wom- en's singles here to rest for the team matches against England shortly and the natiornal championships. Her fel- low Californian, Helen Jacobs, already is through the first round. Miss Wills indicated she might enter mixed doubles the middle of the week. An international fleld for that event may include Kea Bouman, }lnl-' land; the French Davis Cup players and members of the English, Wight- man Cup team. None are entered in singles, Miss Bouman having withdrawn for rea- sons similar to those of Miss Wills. * Ford X 74 ] SALES & SERVICE ’ HANDLEY 3730 Georgia Ave. JIBES AT THE SCOTS | UNFAIR, SAYS JONES * at Scottish thrift malign a generous race, in the opinion of Robert Tyre Jones, know, after bringing away one of the | Scot's most British open over course, of Scottish liberality when he has told his pleasure at the they gave him at the eighteenth green after he had sunk the putt that won | the title. seen such an overwhelming ovation, %0 the oldest drews say themselves, telling how grateful - Scotchman made me a present of an nld PLAZA ATHLETES URGED began with hundreds of years ago.
