There’s nothing like beating the maln\ rival in a race you desire to win, The Red Sox are not likely to be | checked at home, where they spend most of the month.

Two weeks ago we had nine world ceries candidates. But even as the | leaves of autumn quiver and flutter downward at each short gust, so the contenders pass out with August and the dream goes gray. Of the ninc early August candiates. for the honor of sphitting $60,000 on a 60-40 basis only five remain. The two A. L. leaders have already been aiscussed. In the National all Western clubs, plus the Giants, have concluded their last hopes, and it remains to be seen just how fast Philadelphia, Brooklyn and Boston can travel on the read. By the end of the weel i:n three will be pointing west, and the real hunch is now that Philadel- { phia and Boston will run within an evelash of one another to the end of the road. | The Braves, while making another | ¢mashing onslaught down the stretch, | will never find the Phillies as soft and | a youngster, and all jon { around the foot in batting, | below the top in fielding and are the | ihree perfect shots under Mighty Sweet to Stallings Now agfi%&swmkgamgk o expiration of last season, along with | by name, and | a bundle of coin by George Stallings, Sherwood | J° ted them it is certain that Waltz Dugey George got was Magee- Sherwood was supposed (o | strengthen the Braves’ outfield, which he did, but he did not add as much | + batting strenth (o the Braves, attack | as it was expected he would.

The Braves and Phillies are down are well in the fleld—anad two weakest base-running clubs in cither circuit. As judged by the figures they should be, but they have shown that hustle and team play also count. A Study in Long Hitting, The recent golf hitting exhibition given by Ouimet, Guilford and Mars- ton in Detroit was an eye opener to a large number of f{anatics who had niever seen a golf game and who be- | lieved that Ty and Sam were the ulti- mate words in smashing any sort, of ball. In bascball 140 yards well beyond the average—good the circuit at any given moment. Yet the hall Guilford hit would have travelled in the open well over 100 yards—more than twice the dis- tence attained with the bat. for Cobb Amazed. il golf and has observed a number firet class playvers in action. But the ball Guiltord hit startled out of his established composure. of Ty Another point that made an impres- | sion upon the athletes was this: to see three young amateurs walk out to the home plate before 15,000 people, 1o see them pick up a strange club and rroceed without a flutter to make such ab- normal conditions, prcvided the exist- ¢nce of nerve in golf fully upon a par with any nerve required in a hard game. “I know what it means,” remarked Ty, “to lock at that bali and keep your head down even in a friendly match.

The Silent battler is doing his preliminary work for the contest at Boehm’s Roadhouse in New Drop' S. L, while Ames is working out at his gymasium in Hartford Conn. Martin is working like a trojan in his workouts. He is boxing every day With Johnny Howard the Bayonne N. J. Middleweight and their work- outs are more like real scraps than iraining. The way Martin and How- ard slug away at each other is a treat to the large gathering of fans who as- semble daily at Boehm'’s to sec the fighters spar. Martin is already down to weight and in tip top shape and his manager Al Sibberns declared this morning that although he expected Ames to give Martin a tough battle he was brimfull of ccnfidence that his silent protege would annex the vie- tory. From the Ames training camp in Hartford it is learned that Ames is leaving nothing undonc to be in tip top shape. Red according to inside information is making life miserable for his sparring partners. He is hit- ting so heavy these days that his man- ager is forced to get new sparring partners for the sorrell top Hartford every day. After boxing, eight with his sparring paviiors Ames declared that he was fit for the battle of his career, and that he would surely whip Martin. Jimmy Rielly who is to meet Sammy Waltz of Hartford in the ten round semi-final to the Martin-Ames fight is fast rounding into tip top shape. :ielly is working out daily at Brown's | gymnasium with a host of sparring partners and frem the way he has will be in for a busy evening whsn {hey meet. Sammy Waltz his opponent who is doing his training in Hart- ford, is also fit for the fray, being aiready down to the required weight ard in the pink of condition. FEDS AFTER QUI . The Brooklyn Feds are after Owen Quinn, the former New London and Springfield Colonial first baseman. Business Manager Carroll thinks ’Qumn would fit in nicely at the initial sack for the Brookfeds. Quinn is covering first for the Syracuse club of the New York State league at pres- ent, and Carroll will try to induce him to jump. George Maisel, brother of Fritz Maisel of the New York Yankees, is another New York State league player who has attracted Business Manager Carroll's attention. Maisel has been recently purchased by the Detroit Tygers and will prob- ably not accept a Fed contract. NOTABLES TO ATTEND, Mayor Mitchell and Other Distinguish- ed “Fans” to Witness Big Bout. The bout between Packie McFar- land and Mike Gibbons which will be fought at the Brighton Motordrome on Sept. 11, will bring many veteran fans who in recent years seem to have lost interest in the virile sport. Amony those who will be seen at the ring- side when those two great boxers of the present day square off againsts each other, will be James B. Brady (Diamond Jim,) one of the most en- thusiastic fans during the old Horton Law days. Brady has not attended a local boxing match in five years. The offering at the beach was too slrong to resist and Diamond Jim was among the first to make reservations. He called his friend. Gene Villepigue, the genial boniface of Sheepshead Bay on the long distancs telephone from Saratoga and, commissioned him to engage two hoxes for himself and companions. Invitations will be extended Mayor John Purroy Mitchell, of New York, to witness the Packie McFarland and Mike Gibbens bout at the Brighton Motordrome on Sept. 11. Mayor Michell is a lover of ail athletic sports and devotee of many. including box- i ing. During his campaign for the office he now holds he boxed several rounds every day to. fit himself for the ordeal of electioneering. Before his election he attended many of the iocal boxing shows.
