July. 24.—Lud- wig (Ludy) Langer of the Los An- geles Athletic club shattered two american.amateur swimming records —the mile and a half mile tidal water marks—over a 110-yard course in yacht harbor at the Panama-Pacific Exposition yesterday. He covered the mile in 24:59 2-5, ninety yards in the lead of Joseph Wheatley of New York. Langer was timed at the half-mile mark in 13:06, lowering the American record made by him last Wednesday of 12:08° 2-5. The brokeén mile record of 25:40 2-5 fwas made by J. H. Reilly at Rye ach, N. Y., in 1911.

Five pitchers were used by the two teams, but it takes a lot of pitchers to hand out twenty- four hits.

ROWLAND SUSPENSION LIFTED. . Chicago, July 24.—The suspension of Manager Rowland of the Chicago Americans, which was imposed three days ago, and which aroused Owner Comisky to make charges that the umpiring in the American league this year was the worst he had ever seen, was lifted yesterday. It had been in effect three days, following a heated argument between Rowland and the umpires in the Boston series. 2 Chicago .,.... YANKEES BUY WACO CATHER. ‘Waco, Texas, July 23.—Catcher Al Walters of the Waco team was sold yesterday to the New York Americans. He will join that team at the close of the Texas league season, September 6. Walters is the sensation of the league and is recognized as the brain- jest and fastest man that ever played in this league. He came to Waco from the Saskatoon team of the West- ern Canada league.

No. 2—The Pitching Staff. Alexander—Philadelphia Nationals, Mamaux—Pittsburgh Nationals. Johnson—Washington Americans. Rucker—Brooklyn Nationals. Alexander is the greatest pitcher in the world today., He has reached the star height held by Mathewson, John- son and Walsh at their best. He is the Non-Pareil of the Mound—the Un- paragoned of all Pill Propellers. Next to Big Alex comes Walter Johnson—still a grand pitcher, though not enjoying his best year.

Honus, old boy, ! Mahager Ackerstrom of the Annex A. C, has arranged a fast game for Sunday afternoon at the Annex dia- mond on Belden street, when his charges will stack up against the fast Emeralds team of Hartford. This will be the second meeting of the teams this season, the home boys being forced to take the count in the first game, but there is fight in thelr eye and a battle royal promises to oc- cur when these club meet Sunday. * Johnson formerly of the Rangers, has been added to the Annex lineup, in an effort to brace the club for the game. Blanchard and Holleran will be the battery for the home team, while Murphy and Deegan will be in points for the Capital City outfit. i s o TO GET “ONCE OVER.” Chicago, July 24.—B. B. Johnson, president of the American league, left for St. Louis early yesterday on a tour of inspection of his staff of umpires. { The umpires have been assailed re- cently by club owners, and it is the purpose of Johnson to swing about the { eircuit and watch the work of each | arbiter. He has defended the work of the officials on several occasions since the charges were made, but the insistence of eomplaints led Johnson tion. Before his six games he lost five were Senatorial shutouts, where he had no chance. He { still has enough stuff to produce trou- | ble. The pick for third place finds many entries—Mamaux, Caldwell, Wood, Dale, Faber, Morton—all fine pitchers, Mamaux has done the beést work of the lot, for his winning record is not only ‘above par but his work has been a matter of spectacular consistency. Eiven in his few défeats he pitched ball that “deserved to win. Nap: Rucker follows, because he is ihe best left-hander in the game—the steadiest, at least. The Alpharetta side-wheeler drewa late start but once ir. condition has moved along with his | ancient way. There are fine young pitchers coming on, but most of them have not yet quite arrived. The ve- . terans are still able to hold the bulk of the territory, won some years ago. Moody Phrases.

The armies of von Hindenburg and von Mackensen put together couldn’t effect capture like that. Up and Down League, Observes the little War Stock; No wonder it has vexed; It acts just like the Phils one day— And like the Reds the next. Still Differencz. Hans Wagner, from the veginning, has always been different, There has been no player like him. He has been eternally beyond any range of the dope. In baseball, above all other ingred- ients, the Batting Eye has outlasted ary other faculty. Mike Donlin was still batting over .300 when he quit as a regular. And Mike had eleven sea- sons at .300 or Dbetter. Mike was still hitting the ball when his legs were below par and his arm none too strong Larry Lajofe, in his nineteenth year, ig still batting between .315 and .325. He isn’t 8o fast ag he used to be, but he can still hit A Pop Anson, in his twenty-second campaign—in the days when Pop was all through in every respect—closed cut his mighty career with an aver- age of .303—still over the Great Divide That was in 1897, through a run of 112 games. But Wagner is the great exception. He was the most consistent swats- man of them all—batting above .800 for eighteen consecutive years—smash- 1ng all records by four or five seasons. But today, at Forty-one, when he looks ulmost as fast as the fleld as he ever looked, when he is still covering ground znd stealing bases, the Batting Eye alone has faded. Hans dropped below i .300 last year for the firs: time. He dropped to .252. This season he has been struggling all vear to pass ,250, spending most of the time below .240. He has beeén the one big upset in this matter of the lasting power of the Batting Eye. It 'may be that he will get along again and slip back to .300. But it isn‘t likely, for it is hard climb- l | _his confidence i:qn-z'n Box for Yanks, Beaten--More Burlesque Baseball in Colonial League--Dundee Beats_Rivers PORT . .
