ICop Pair Swatted Ha have all.been dropped for the time being at/least. Fencing and shooting have ceased to be sports and arée now regarded as serious business. -The latter has become very popular and rifie ranges have sprung up ‘every- swhere, Even before the war the gov- ernment began to encourage training in ‘rifle’ ‘shooting in the schools and the war office afforded special facili- ties in this direction. . The * féncing schools are still open but the best in- structors have gone to the frcnt;u. though there are plenty of pupils | chiefly ‘young officers, Something new in basebail has been | inaugurated by Harry Wolverton, ;manager of the.San Franeisco club 02 'the Pagific Coast League. The former leader ~of 'thé ! New York ‘Yankees has been conducting the field ‘ baseball campaign of the ‘Seals from his bed by the ald of telephone and | telegraph wires, | ‘Wolverton, who was seriously in- jured in @n automobile accident, de- cided that he would manage his team just, @s well” from the, hospital bed as the bench. . Wiree were’ installed from thé Beals dugout at the baseball | park to Wolverton's beaside, and he was kept informed of every move of ‘the opposing team. When his club was out ef town, a telegraph wire was | rubstituted’ for the phone and the disabled . manager made ' suggestions, | | followed the play and in seneral dic- | ‘tated the fleld policy of the Seals, | in the same’ manner he would -have .| had he Dbeen on the players’ bench. : July 10.—Apparently anager of the Phila- has at the age of en the task/ of pennant-winning Because of his erican League Dpen- & world’s champion- recanstruction work baseball machine “with unusual interest of the country. ‘four| straight game L to ‘the Mackmen ves in the world’s 8.

Just a word here in regard to the general status of baseball. There scems to be a widespread impression that the sport is waning, Whereas nothing was ever furtther, from the truth.

Butflh&sl iapse is only temporal, and in the end | these things will all be for the gen- ' eral géod of the sport, and will result in a big cleaning up and will put the game back upon a far sounder basis than it has ever been before. | Most of the leading games of the I’ world are old. games. Hundreds of | campaigns old, cricket, tennis, golf, | polo and others have lived and grown through the centuries. S0 why should | baseball, the greatest game of them | all in many ways, fizzle and fade out ’ within fifty years? Bosh isn't the! { word for it, and piffle is forty degrees | too weak. +1 | George Stallings, having signed twins for the Braves, Pat Moran is now pot-hunting for a twin Alexander. We'll say this, for Connie Mack: He has developed more star ballplay- ers from the rough than any man- ager who ever lived. A list that in- cludes Bender, Plank, Collins, Baker, Mclnnis, Barry, Murphy, Schang, Coombs, Oldring and others stands as record enough and a sufficient pro- rhecy for future success. The Return.of F. Olarke. One of the most inspiring sights of the season is the return of Fred Clarke to the Polite Society of the game, Clarke, on the long average, has one of the star managerial records of the sport. He has won as high a | percentage of games over a five-year stretch as either McGraw or Mack—a twelve-year average above .600. A leader of this type doesn’t deserve | the breaks Clarke hae drawn in the iast two years, so his recent uplift ! simply means a return to normal efficiency. NATIONAL LEAGUE. | Yesterday's Results.
