Major General O'Ryan, head of the New Yark National Guard, has hundreds under him now. Among the boys of the Sixty-ninth are such cracks as Mel Sheppard, Pat Flynn, Horace Hocking, Jack Phillips and Tom Kelly. And Lieutenant James Archer is none other than Jimmy Archer of the Irish-American A.

With the Seventy-first infantry are Homer Ba- ker, Al TLake, Myles McHugh, Hugh Honahan, Joe Pearman, Nick Gianakapulos, Teddy Matzukes, Eddie Sweeney, Billy Anderson—all names to conjure with athletically. And with the Seventy-first also is Norman Selby, the Kid McCoy of the prize ring. There are at least 300 athletes under the colors in New York.

HINKEL CHOSEN REFEREE Cleveland Sportsman to Be Third Man in the Ring in Moran-Dillon Bout. front. New York, June 28.—A Western man, Matt Hinkel, has been chosen to referee the Jack Dillon-Frank Mo- ran bout in Washington park, Brook- Iyn, tomorrow night. The selection by Chairman Wenck may not meet with the approval of New Yok sports- men who are In favor of local talent, but it Is a wise one, as Hinkel is con- sidered one of the best referees in the Middle West and is a wealthy sportsman who has been a follower of the game all his life. Tn the “wild and woolly” they rank Matt as in a class with “Chicago” Ed Smith and “Denver” Otto Floto. The trio are considered the real ‘big three” in the refereeing business be- tween the Alleghanies and the Rocky Mountains. At the convention of box- ing promoters last year Hinkel was the unanimous choice for president of the American Boxing association, which was organized at that conven- tion. Hinkel is absolutely fearless in the ring and because of his deserved rep- utation was the cholce as alternate referee of the Willard-Johnson fight for the world’s heavyweight cham- pionship in Havana. As a sample of how little a fighter’s standing matters to Hinkel, it may be mentioned that he threw Johnny Kilbane, feather- weight champion of the world, out of the ring about a year ago because he thought he detected Kilbane with- holding his best efforts against an opponent who had once been a spar- ring partner of the champion’s. WYCKOFF FOR RED SOX. Athletics Release Right Hander ‘Whose Arm Has Been Bad. Philadelphia, June 28.—It was an- nounced by the Philadelphia Ameri- can league club last night that Wel- don Wyckoff, a member of the Ath- letics’ pitching staff, had been re- leased to the Boston Americans. Wyckoff is a right-hander and has been with the local club several years. 1 He was signed by Connie Mack while pitching at Bucknell university. Wyo- koff's arm was injured in the South this spring and he has done little pitching this season. LORD NOW A BUSHER.

The American league race may be ' divided into two sections—not the east against the west, but the Downs against the Ups. In one sectlon we have the three racemakers of last year—the three clubs picked to romp away from 1.hei and present fleld—Detroit, Bostan Chicago. These ate the Ups. In the other we have three olubs where only oné was given a chance to finish in the first division. These are land, New York and Washington. Yet the latter three, for the first two months have provided mast of the sensations. And the remarkable feature is that Cleveland and New York were able to start this presgnt week running 1-2, when they had suffered meoere than any other con- tenders. Cleveland and a star spells. So no one can charge pasitions to any fancy luck. star out infielders lengthy had two outfielder their Holding Up. Tn the battle of the Ups against the Downs—the odds are all with De- troit, Boston and Chicago. The test months through the heat of July and August are yvet to come. These are the months that saw Boston and Detroit jump to the front last summer and pull away from the field. Two from this trio are quite likely to fight it out again with Detroit favored. Both the Red Sox and the the material to be close up, but all three will face far tougher cpposition than they ever ooked for. The Case of the Yankees. Suppose we take up the case of Smiling Bill Donovan’s sprightly Yanks. At the start of the season it agreed that if the to make any giddy stars—Frank Baker, Magee and Ray Caldwell, Yet, starting this last June week here were the details: Baker was batting .230. Magee was batting .222. Caldwell had won 3 games lost 7. By the laws of the rickety this slump in such vital places and dope should have been enough to drive the Yanks | gasping Mackmen, | : | who has yet to taste the pill preliminary betwesn | down with the who very seldem come up for air. But in spite of this slump, began the week only one game from the top. Now Baker and Magee are not .239 .222 hitters. And Caldwell is no 2 out of 10 pitcher. When the com- plete season's average are all in Baker is fairly sure to be at .300 cver, with Magee up around .280. And Caldwell will have a good many victories than three packed in his system. So with this normal heights the Yanks Lie even more jfangerous than Lave been. B{ several degrees.

A fair chance beyond a doubt For Dono- van has the best defensive club in the same: four good right handers, two star left handers, a brilllant fielding infield and one of the best ground and one of the surest in baseball. Defense Values, You can say what you will the value of batting and a stout at. tack, but a ball club with fine pitch- ing and a strong defense 1is rarely And with, this | if Baker and Magec rkach the batting heights they shculd hold, the attack will be sufficiently power- | ful to get its share of runs. | For Wally Pipp is a long distance | hitter and coupled with Frank Baker, | leaves plenty of gun cotton around | the clean-up landing.

Within another week the western clubs swing east again. This in- vasion will begin to tell most of the story.
