SPORTING NOTES The consensus seems to be that Bar- ney Dreyfuss lost and Branch Rick- gained a corking good ball tosser when George Sissler joined the Browns. Ban Johnson's effort to speed up fames seems to have been a complete ilure, if one may judge by the time requires to complete a contest at ‘he Brush stadium. Markle. the Waco pitcher landed 5y the Yankees, is, according to re- ort, “only £3 years old.” but why the “omly”? ~ That isn't a particularly routhfui age for a bdall player. Dave Robertson is fast working his ¥ay up to etardom, or was when he was hurt in Connecticut, but Dave 1asn't learned yet wheie to play for ili the different batters. So now and hen' he sings out to Doyle: ‘Place me Zap, place me!” As to who is the hest catcher in »aseball, that is the hardest position m a team to judge. Headwork in iandling pitchers is on: of the chlef rwints of value in a catcher, and it is me which doesn't show in the aver- \ges nor appear to the naked eye. For every team ecept the victori- ms one many of us have little: but oldings and rappings and pannings. juccess {s the only merit we recog- dze. Our team is great when it wins D4 a disgrace when it loses. OQur rerspective, our viewpoint, influ- is mced by nothing else, and so is all rrong. Something lost sight of is hat the race, not the Denmant, is the aaln object of fighting. ,Some day re may learn to put the game above he- prize, and this gces for every thar sport s much as for bassball thich is the best game of all and ontaining quite as much sportsman- up any more players from now on.

EARL COOPER WINS CHICAGO AUTO CLUB TROPHY Establishes a New Record for the Course—Anderson Comes in Second. Eilgin, Ills, Aug. 2 Automoliile club trophy, for which nine drivers entered over the Eigin course, was won today by Earl Cooper. The time for the 301 miles establishes a new record for the course. The finish follows: The Chicago Elapsed Time Driver. Time. Per Hour. 1—Coaper .. 4.01.32 2—Anderson L. 40508 3—Oldfield ........ 4.08. 4—Alley ... 414 —O0'Donnell 4.15.40 —Brown. Out at 217 miles. —Henderson. Flagzed at 184 miles. S$—DePalma. _Withdrew at 176 mile: 9—Justen. Stripped gear at 97 miles. De Palma was the favorite at the start and held the lead for the first 50 miles when he broke a rocker arm. He laid up at the pit for more than an hour while the part was being re- placed and started again. Finall seeing that the pursuit was hopeles: he dropped out to save his motor for the race tomorrow. De Palma’s mishap left the race be- tween Cooper and Anderson, both driv- ing the same make of American car. This palr was never more than a few seconds apart, but Cooper finally drew into a safe lead when Anderson’s car lost a trifle of its speed. Barney Oldfield drove a consistent race. In mid-race he drew into third position and _stayed there. Tomorrow fourteen cars are expect- ed to start in the Elgin National Tro- phy race. The distance is the same as today, but there is no limitation on displacement. It is said that s record will be lowered ly. The previous record, 73.5 miles an hour, was made last vear by De Palma. George Stallings has promised bring the Braves back to Boston second place. to in FINANGIAL AND COMMERCIAL MARKET WAS DEPRESSED. War Specialties Suffered the Severe Losses. Most New York, Aug. 20.—The sinking of the British iiner Arabic constituted al- most the sole market influence today, | stocks being depressed for the greater part of the active session, With irreg- ular improvement at the close. War specialties suffered the most severe losses, their declines at the outset ex- tending from to 8 points. United States Steel, again the most conspic- uous issue, and some investment rail- way shares also felt the forct of the selling pressure, much of which ap- peared to emanate from professional sources. There were feverish rallies and delcines in the course of the day, some stocks repeating or falling un- der early low prices at midday. Cover- ing of short contracts was mainly re- sponsible for the variable but general rallies of the final hour. Dealings again attained very large proportions, aggregating 1,025,000 shares. Of this amount Steel contributed about 20 per cent. Other shares which helped to swell the huge total included Westinghouse, American Can, Crucible Steel, Allis-Chalmers _and Tennessee Copper. Bethlehem Steel issues, while not among the avtice stocks of their class, achieved sudden prominence in the later dealings, the common advancing 10 points to 285 and the preferred 6 3-4 points to 145. Many margined accounts were clos- ed as a result of the heavy losses recorded at the opening and to that extent the technical position of the market is probably sounder than for some weeks past. The trading ele- ment is strongly committed to the short side of the account and may be expected to maintain that position an adjustment of the international situa- tion. - Exchange markets indicated by their further strength that progress is being made in the discussions now under way to establish foreign credits in this market. Cables stating that sev- eral of London's most distinguished financiers are to visit this country for the purpose of correcting existing e» change, were hailed with satistaction in_local banking circles. Continued ease of domestic mone- tary conditions was in keeping with the further gain in cash expected in tomorrow’s bank statement. Long time loans were quotably uncharged. STOGKS. Sates 00 High.

MUGGSY McGRAW STARTS . _ BWINGING THE AXE [ o item Will Rebuild Giants—8nodgrass Gets His Releass and Others Will Fol- low. ~ > The first of the major league man- agers to follow Connie Mack's policy of &etting rig of high priced players apd building up a team of youngsters is John McGraw of the Glants. Accor ing to authoriative information, at least seven players now on the team are booked for release or trade, and several deals are expected to be made while the Western clubs are in the East. Outfielder Snodgras is the first to go, kis release has been hamded to him Others who are due for a change of scenery are Rube Marquard, the ec- centric _southpaw _pitcher, o cost McGraw $11,000 when he came from the minors, and Chief Myers, the vet- eran catchr, who has been one of the leading backstops of the National lea- gue, for several years. Marquard and Meyers are booked for the minors, according to report. It is understood walvers have been secured Zrom all the National league clubs, and all_but two of the Aemrican league clubs on Marquard and Myers. It is doubtful if any club in the Na- tional or American League would claim Marquard from the waiver list, for the Rube has a contract for this year and next calling for a salary of $7,500, and no club owner in baseball today will pay this salary to a ball Player now or in the future unless he is a great star. Marquard jumped to the Federal league last winter, but was forced to return to the Giants owing to his hav- ing signed an ironbound contract, so that there is not much_chance of going over to the Feds again. The “cleaning up” of the Athletics and the Giants is only a forerunner of what is likely to happen to several of the major league teams before the op- ening of another champlionship season. Clark Griffith has declegred that he intends to break up the present com- bination representing Washington in the American league, and one or two of the other managers are said to be favoring the same plan. McGraw is the first to follow Man- ager Mack in getting rid of players who have been stars, although Mar- quard, Myers and Snodgras cannot be considéred in the same class with the men Mack has allowed to go. It is not a case of money with McGraw, 4 J { 1 { o B
