"’ -y President Tener of the National league said that he fotind nothing to substantiate pu}:lhhed reports. that Captain Evers of the Koston Braves had charged that the National league race had been '‘fixed.” President Ten- er made the following statement: ‘‘My attention was attracted to an alleged statement by Capain Evers during the game between Boston and St. Louis 1ecently that the race had been “fixed,”" and on account of the great publicity which this statement was given I decided to make inquiries. ‘Neither Umpries Rigler nor Eiart told me that Evers 5said they had been instructed to give St. Louis the benefit of close decisions in order to make the race close. There were no charges made against Evers to me. Baseball is so firmly established that no one except some person wholly ig- norant or with a corrupt mind would credit’ any such statement as Evers was alleged to have made.” el - ‘oLiD PLAY FAILS ~TO WORK. Chicago, July 19.——Mordecal Brown attempted | yesterday a play with which successfully executed he broke a Detroit rally/in the ‘final garme of the world's series of 1907, = With two Buffalo. men on bases in the eight and none out, he had Fitz hug thir base while he himself fielded Engle’s attempted sacrifice, intending 0 force out a runner at third. This time, however, he threw the ball to left fleld, and Buffalo counted two, runs on the error, beating Chicago, 6 to 4. _ INCREASE STOCK. Jefférson City, Mo., July 19.—The capital stock of the St. Louis Federal league Baseball ‘company was 'in- creased from $135,000 to $300,000 ‘| vesterday with the approval of the, Secretary of State.’ The filled state- ment " shows that the MHabilities of the club were $148,642 and the as- sets $270.155. Away With pocKiNchy, Trap-Door Union e Suits! THE common or trap-doer TRADE MARK variety of Union Suit is . a bifurcated botch.

PR The captain called in wonderment, “Who can this hero be?” “I used to umpire,” he replied— “This stuff is pie for me.” \Another Record? This is the fortieth pennant cam- paign of the National League. In the thirty-nine years that lie behind no bal] club has ever won a flag with a final percentage under .600 The clos- ' esticall was by Brooklyn in 1900 with a mark of .603, To rise above .600 a ball club must win 938 out of the 154 games schedul- ed. New York, Pittsburgh, Boston, St. Louis and Cincinnati have little chance to get this high. And jthe two leaders to pass this barrier must win something like 50 of their next 75 games—or more along at a .667 pace. And .687 as a pace, looks to he sev- eral figures beyond any consistency any club has 'shown as we meander moodily to press: Conservative Dope. Dear sir: After ltudymg this National League race closely it looks to me as if Phil- . adelphia, ‘'nati, or Boston ought to win. '|'predict that Chicago, LIGHT Grantland Rice Chicago, = Brooklyn, St. Lauis, Pittsburgh, New York, Cincin- Or is this a bad guess? PLATO PETE. We can get just a# conservative as that. In the American League we Boston or De- troit will win. Provided, of course, same other club doesn’t. In 1912 4t this stage of affairs the Giants had won, 68 ball games. At this same pace this season they would be only 250 points beyond the mnext puffiing contender for premier hon- ors. 1915 Class, { It iz a mistake to figure that there has been a complete slump in the playing standards of all clubs. In the National League, Giants, Cubs and Pirates have droppéd from oldtime class. The Phillies are holding their own. But Brooklyn, St. Louis, Cin- cinnati and Boston are far stronger than they were before last year. The weaker clubs of the past have come forward and the stronger clubs have lost power. Hence the present jam. In the American League the White | Sox have improved wonderfully over past years. So have the Tigers—at least, since 1910, The Red Sox are better than they have been since 1912. The Yankees are a better club than the Yank status has known since 1910. Mackmen, Cleveland Indians, Senators and Browns are weaker. On To Football. Sir: I am glad to see Hardwick and Brickley at last given a decent burial. Of course, Harvard hates to lose them but there are others. How abour a backfield composed at Watson, Bradlee, Francke, McKinlock? Even with Hardwick and Brickley back Harvard would not necessarily ve any stronger than the team that is to be turned out next season. Turn up Parke Davis’ football book and see what happeried to a team of tars in the Yale-Princeton game of 1897, The year before Princeton won 24 to § and the next year took a veteran team I am wondering who will pitch ta New Haven and was beaten 6 to 0. It was only after the game that any one realized what stars Yale had in Johnny Hall, De Saulles and Dud- ley. No Hardwicks and Brickleys are not absolute necessities.” There are always willing workers Who re« fuse to blench at reputations. The Dodger Worry.

It's a “hop on the fast che” out of there—or—Zowie— Blooie—Good Night. Norris Willlams is tennis player, They say radium is fairly rare. But according to the dope Russ Ford par- leyed about two square inches of emery into $25,000. “They say,” said Jimmy Archer, “that ball players are not sarning the big salaries they are getting. Well, I've been out there actching with two toe nails mashed off by a foul tip, my knee cap smashed by another, and two fingers knocked out of joint. That ought to be worth a few dol- lars a week, anyway.” The best book ever written upon at- taing efficiency in any branch 6f sport was gotten out by Willle Keeler. The subject was “How to bat"—and the contents, “Hit 'em where they ain’t.” We've seen books with 250 ar 300 pages that carried a lot less. R.G.
