Ac an offset to Harper's effectiveness, however, he gave nine bases on balls and was touched for wseven hits. Columbus clustered its runs and walks, while the Millers with plenty of hits and. pagses dribbled their counters over the home plate. The deal by which Minneapolis secured Harper and’ Outfielder Rondeau, for whom Washington previously gave five players to the Millers, originally was for "Rondeau and: another . hurler, ‘When this young hurler was sounded, however, he wished to consult his family before dqclding to play in' the west.

On at least four occasions in the last five years we have watched the estimable Phillies rise up in April and May and display all the so-called ear- marks of a champion. Just what par- ticular earmarks adorn a champion we have never known, but you get the idea. Then each year, as June arrived, the still éstimable Philliés proceeded to settle after the manner of “a steel girder pushed gently but frmly off the top of a skyscraper.

Sportography BY “GRAVY." CUPID HELPS TO KEEP THE OLD BOXERS IN THE LIMELIGHT, Nothing is so galling .to.the. pride of a man who has once been famous— or notorious—as to find the public becoming indifferent to him. Yet this fate is in store for all stars of the ring and the diamond who outlive their usefulness—and a majority of them do. To be the hero of an open- mouthed and staring multitude, an object of awe to the kids, is caleu- lated to give anybody a case of exag- gerated ego. And then comes, with sickening suddenness, the dull thud of the drop back into obscurity, when the ex-hero has to buy his own drinks, and looks in vain through the sport pages for mention of his once honored name. Cupid is the best friend of these old-timers, and the commission publicity: the statement that Bob Fitzsimmons, | old Daddy Time has later it was lnnounnfl a ! of [less world that the' kia matrimony the easiest way to obtain |- -as all a mistake, have enabled James J.

New York, June 4.—The crusade to curb. cabarets yielded its first con- viction: yesterday in the case of Paul ‘Salvin, manager of a well known res- taurant in the . theatrical district, who was fined $60 for giving a thea- ‘trical performance, by way of a cab- aret, without a license. The cabaret had' entertained the restaurant’s pa- trons under a dance hall license, but the magistrate ruled that the enter- tainment required a theatrical . li- ‘cense, which costs $500.

Two days ago we missed an easy 28- fcot putt. Henry Ford is right. A cigarette is no good for a steady : nerve. If the Dodgers continue their win- ning streak, Mr. Ebbets will be glad to withdraw his charge that “baseball | i is still in its infancy.” The Colonel will then be willing to aamit that it has. at last arrived as a worthy game. In the First Division? l Even when travelling at an ab- rormal clip, it was hardly possible to figure the Yanks up with the White Sox, Red Sox or Tigers. The stuff wasn't quite there, barring =a super- natural break of fortune. But outside of this trio they pre- sented first division possibilities, as compared to Washingron, St. Louis, Cleveland or Philadelphia, So in sLite of their late slump, which has driven them down hill at a dizzy clip, there is still a chance that Smiling or ‘Wila Bill, as the case may be, Dono- ven, will be able to defena forth place. For they have a number of first-class tall players—and several who by mext year should be stars. But for the time being the Yanks must forget that they are the Yanks, put tradition well be- hind their innermost thoughts—and then the first division 1s not out of | rcach. The Case of Judge Landis. R. F. desires to know what hag be- come of the O, B.-Federal scramble “that was to have been decided last January.” From an inside source, whatever that is;, we have been tipped to the following status of affairs, viz: Judge Landis is a fan and a lover of baseball; he has gone into the matter carefully and has decided that the old method of running baseball—that is, the ten day notice - and the reserve ¢lause—was not legal, but was the only way baseball could be run, If he ruled upon strict legality he must rule against the best interests of the sport. -And the only way he could rule was over the strictly legal route. So in plafe of rendering a decision that would hurt baseball as a national institution he decided to wait and take # chance upon O. B. and the Feds getting together in a peace agreement. He has given‘them an unusual amount of time, but unless they reach some sgreement soon he may lose patience Note the artistic out- line of the coat, the soft rolling lapel and the coat to button with one button or with button link just as you prefer.
