Of course all this is due to the fact that his team is now leading the National league and has a splendid chance to cop the banner. Robby is too old a bird to make rash predictions at this stage of the race, but right under his hat he is almost ready to swear that there is no team strong enough to push his Dodgers out of first place. Experts figure that if the Dodgers keep up their present gait they will surely win the National league pennant. CITY LEAGUE SCHEDULE Arrangement of Games Is Mapped Out —Rowdies Will Be “Sat On” if They Get Fresh—Crowley Named as Ump. Final details for the opening of the City, league to be conducted by the public' amusement commission, were worked out at a meeting held in Chair- man Mangan's office last evening. Managers of the teams ta participate in the season’s play were present, and | some advice as to conduct in the coming games was glven by the com- mission. Edmund Crowley was se- lected as umpire. Two games will be played each Saturday, the first game to commence at 2 o’clock and the second at 4 c¢’clock. It is the intent of the com- mission to have the playing field roped off, thus aiding the players and speeding the games. That rowdyism will not be tolerated ‘was clearly pointed aut in a talk given by Chairman Mangan, who was a spectator at last Tueday’s game, and was disgusted with the actions of some of the players. The schedule adopted is as follows: July 8—Annex vs. Pawnees, 2 p, m.; Alpines vs. Rangers, 4 p. m. July 15—Annex vs, Rangers 2 p. m.; Pawnees vs. Alpines 4 p. m. July 22—Annex vs Alpines 2 p, m.; Pawnees vs. Rangers 4 p. m. July 29—Alpines vs. Rangers 2 m.; Annex vs. Pawnees 4 p. m. August 5-—Pawnees vs. Alpines 2 D- . m.; Annex vs Rangers 4 p. m.

Haughton and his partners will sell the Boston Braves at the end of the season. It i{s understood that the Braves are losing money and that the only chance to break even finan- cially lies in the capture of the pen- nant and the subsequent melon ocut- ting in the world's series. Rain knocked the club out of two holidays and other dates that would have been a source of much profit. The club’s expenses are unusually great, due to the rent of the big fleld in Boston and the salaries of the players. If Haughton & company get out of hase- ball the"Braves may reyett to Gaffney. NO LICENSH FOR FITZ, New Haven, July 7.—Under the rules of the New York boxing commission, Dave Kitzgerald will be unable to get a permit to officiate in bouts there. A rule of the commission it was stated last night, prohibits the issuance of licenses to anyone other than residents of the state. However, the commlssion empowers the ‘whnirvn’in to engage a referee from A:\IY' other state for some extraordi- | nary bout. The failure of Fitzgerald {0 got a license will come as a disap- | pointment to Fitzgerald and his friends. who were anxious to see him | land.

Chicago, July 7.—President B. B. Johnson, of the American league, would give the batter two bases when- ever he is hit in the head by a pitched ball, instead of one base as at present, in order to deter pitchers from intimi- cating the batsmen. In a statement made public here today he disagrees with the suggestion recently made Ey President Ebbets of the Broaklyn Nationals, that a batsman be given his base any time the pitcher tries, in the opinion of the umpire to hit the batter in the head. He thinks the Ebbets| plan would only add to the troubles of the umpire and would lead ta more wrangling. “I am loath to believe,” Mr, John- son. #aid,, “that any player in the game would deliberately injure an- other, but there seems to be a growing belief that pitchers are resorting to throwing balls at a player's head in order to intimidate him or drive him Ban ing away from the plate.” “How would it do to inflict double penalty on the pitcher who hits batsman on the neck or head by giv ing the batter two bases arbitrarily’ DILLION VS.

The same may apply to the world’s series tickets. You know, there is an aw- ful demand for them. But we wouldn't jinx any club for the world, so for the present we shall try to be calm. Let it suffice to say that the Yankees still are demonstrat- ing the new Yankee grit, and after spotting the fast coming White Sox three runs in the first inning of yes- terday’s muss on the Polo grounds they nosed them out by a score of 4 to 3. It was a noble home coming and the reception committee of 8,000 went away saying, “They are the boys.” Nick Cullop turned in his eighth straight victory at the Sox's expense. By reason of their victory, coupled with Cleveland’s fall in Boston, the Yank lead expanded to 38 points, or two and a half games. On their last offensive the Yankees have won 17 games out of 21, and if the drive is continued it can have only one end- ing-—twenty-five little bags of world’s series kale.

Boston, July Boston defeated Cleveland in the ninth inning yester- day. Barry smashed the first pitched to deep left field and sent in Scott with the run that made the score 6 to 5 in the locals’ favor. Up to the eighth inning he Red Sox ap- parently had the game safely in hand, but Speaker doubled in that session, scoring ~ Wambsganss, who had walked. Speaker tallied the tying run while Scott and Hoblitzel were making a double play. Wambsganss garnered three hits in four times up. The indefinite suspension penalty imposed on Manager Carrigan of the Red Sox by President Johnson of the American League for taking part in a controversy at the Washington hase- ball park last Friday was liftsd be- fore the game. Carrigan did not en- ter the game. The score: Cleveland 3 Boston 20200001—6 8 Batteries: Klepfer, Coumbe, Bagby O'Neil; Foster, Shore and Thomas. Grifi's Suspension Raised. Washington, July 7.—Washington Louis in the second in- ning here yesterday by scoring two runs, enough to gain a one run mar- gin on the Browns. Davenport stopped further scoring. After that sessio St. Louis could do nothing with Boeh- ling. Miller, right flelder of the Browns, | made two hits of the four garnered by his team. Pratt and Shotton made the two others. Williams, Griffith first sacker, obtained four bingles in as many times at bat. Boehling helped win his own game by rapping out two hits, one of which sent Saw- ver across the plate. Manager Griffith, ed last Friday for participating disorder at the game with Boston, reinstated yesterday.

BARNEY AFTER GARRY Decision in Sisler Case Still- Rankles in Pirate Owner’s Crop—Yells About “Gentlemen’s Agreement” etc. Cincinnati, O., July 7.—Chairman Herrman of the National commission owner of the Pirates, still are at odds over the celebrated case of First Baseman Sis- | ler of the St. Louis Browns. ' After more than a year's delay Herrman, to whom the decision was left, award- ed Sisler to the St. Louis club. Messrs. Tener and Johnson, the other mem- bers of the commission, did not vote. Dreyfuss, however, continues to main- tain that under baseball law and in accordance with a so-colled ‘“‘gentle- men’s agreement” he had a moral right to Sisler's services inasmuch as he signed the player before he had reached his twenty-first birthday. Sis- ler, because he was under age, was declared a free agent. But Dreyfuss insists that it was with the understand- {ing that Pirates should have first call when Sisler decided to play as pro- fessional. Sisler subsequently signed with the Browns. Dreyfuss charging that he had been tampered with. There is so much ill feeling in the National league over the disposition of the casz that Dreyfuss threatens to head a movement for the elimina- tion of Herrman as a member of the commission.

Nineteen solid swats bounced off the bludgeons of the Clan McGraw and at the end of the melee the Pirates crawled out from under the debris of a 12 to 6 defeat. If history repeats itself the are in for another upward climb, they started their famous seventeen straight drive here on May 9 with the eame ind of a frenzied flail fest, banging out sixteen hits and burying the Pirates under a 13 to 5 The game was a repetition of May 9 affair, only the Giants made one run less and the Pirates one run mare yesterday.
