Sir—Why don’t you tell us the story about the Scotchman who overpnid i his caddie? T. F. Which brings in an old vearn.with a fairly new twist. After a golf réund ! a few days ago, someone mentioned the close race in the National League. “Yes, it's a close race,” remarked Jerry Travers, “but I've seen a much closer one.” “Where 7"’ queried a bystander, “When I played through Seotland,” Jerry replied, The War and Golf, Another canny Scet requests us to LIGHT ! Back Home. Where is exactly where the present odds favor the Red Sox. They have been able to continue their uplift on the road and are almost sure to reach Fenway Park in the lead. If neither Tigers nor White Sox were dble to roll them way out West there is-not out- ‘standing show that these two clubs can charge into Boston and beat the Red Sox at home. It took leader Carrigan a number of weeks to get his clan rounded.into proper. condition, But onw that his line-up is working near from the dope of mid-winter and early spring is slip- ping ‘back into place.

But it would be more than worth while to have the East seiect her star four and call for a return match. Now that internationl games are under a thick cloud the next best treat is the intersectional dish. Especially so when here is sufficient material from both sections to build up a contest that should be replete with thrills. year all around. One sporting writer i now busily engaged in attempting to drive out baseball and install cricket as the national game. At ome time we figured number of the earnest athletes were overpaid. But Giants and Pirates are booked to play spven games in four days undera July sun. If this isn’t earning a stip- end, there is no such episode.

When Noyes was in the O'Rourke circuit he in- vented a miniature flying machine and a knife that contained about fourtéen household articles that could be used for about everything from a shoe-horn to a cork extractor.

Brooklyn, July 21.—That the Dod- gers did not drop back into third place yesterday afternoon was due to no fault of their own. Only the fact that the Cubs lost in Philadeiphia enabled them to keep tied with the Chicagoans for second place. Thig is no stroke of good fortune, however, according to Uncle Wilbert Robinson who averred last night that his charges are aiming at the very top and would have preferred to see the Quakers lose. Robinson spoke without the usual joyful ring to his voice, with the twinkle gone from his eye and with: his smile missing, for he had just finished watching his charges litter Ebbets field with the worst ex- hibition of baseball seen there in some weeks. It was poor work by the Dodgers rather than god work by .he Pirates that enabled the Pitts- burgers to take the game by a scors of 6 to 2. Score: . Pittsburg 200000301—6 9 O Brooklyn 000000200—2 6 & Batteries—Harmon and Schang; Douglas, Dell and Miller. . Braves Make It Seven. Boston, July 21.—The Braves won their seventh straight victory yester- day by trimming the Reds, 6 to 2. Benton was the victim of a swatfest during the second inning, when three singles, two passes and a triple gave the Braves five’ runs, more than enough to win, McKenery replaced Benton in the third session. It was his first try for the Reds and he per- formed well, allowing only five hits in six innin Bcore: Cincinati 0011000002 7 0 Boston ........ 05000100x—6 9 0 Batteries—Benton, McKenery and Wingo; Ragan, Hughes and Gowdy. Phillies Beat Cubs. Philadelphia, July 21—The Phillies won an exciting game from Chicago yesterday by 8 to 6. The Cubs scored the first run off Rixey in the first inning and held that lead until the sixth. Then the Phil- lies, after having been retired by La- vender in order in the first five in- nings, knocked the Cub pitcher off the mound by making four hits foty two runs. Chicago tied it in the seventh and ¥ went ahead in the eighth by pound- ing Rixey for three more runs. Theg Phillies, however, came back furipu ly in their part of the eighth an scored six runs on two hits, the wild< ness of Zabel and Plerce, wild throw by Phelan and Cheney and timely hi by Cravath and Niehoff. Sajer twisted 'hisknee gliding inte the plate in the seventh inning and ' had to be carried off the fleld. Seore: Chicago ...+ Philadelphia Batteries—Lavender, Zabel, Pierce, Cheney and Bresnahan; Rixey, De- maree and Burns.
