Jacobs pitched good enough ball to win 10 out of 20 tit, Ho held the Angels to three safe blows. It was the ivory headwork used by bis mates that cost the former Cardinal the tilt, Seattle opened up on Crandall in the first inning. After tripling, Lane was nabbed {n the ensuing play at the platter; and Hood was caught off second when Eldred hit a hot screamer to Carroll, There were two on the bags at the time, and Hood made the third out. Spencer Adams paved the way for the Seattle defeat in the eighth, by muffing Ldndimore's fly. Bolid wocking did the rest of the work.

The gist |of the news item was that the work Wills Is Setup for Champion 'Dusky Heavy Is “Smoked Up,” but Isn’t in Class With Jack Dempsey BW YORK, Aug. 31.—Jack Dempsey doesn't seem to be troubled over the prospects of a fight with Harry Wills—and he shouldn't be. Wills may be, and perhaps he fe, the best contender for the title in the heavyweight class, but he doesn't stand such @ big chance to beat the champion as his friends claim, Dempsey can punch faster and hit harder than Wills, He is much fas ter on his feet, a better boxer and he can take it “downstairs” or on the chin. Nothing else is to be de sired. Carpentier has the fastest moving, most accurate right hand in the ring and he gets more behind his punches than the less skilled Wills docs. When the Frenchman couldn't get Dempsey with his right Wills does not stand to do It. Wills has won all his big fights at close quarters. Many maintain he fights foul by holding and hitting. It might not be fair to call him a foul fighter, but it is certain that he is a rough worker, Dempsey excels at the very kind of a fight that Wills would carry to him if the colored challenger fol- lowed his usual style against him. The champion is deadly at body punches at close quarters. The only chance that Wills would have for a knockout would be a straight right hand, and the chances are that Dempsey would beat him to every punch. Dempsey ts not afraid of Wills. All this talk going on now about Kearns dodging the Colorado chal- lenger ts but “steam” to cook up the match and make It a popular card. of the arbiters was more inefficient than ever before. ‘e been in the American | teas e for 17 years, coming in be- fore the double umpire system was established. The actual task of umpiring Is no more difficult, but it is much more |diftioult to please players and spec- | tators. That, in brief, would be my reply to the present status of the um- pire in comparison with the old days. The money lure has made the um- plre’s task much more difficult than before, Tho present method of dividing the world series receipts is the fly in ,the ointment, so far as the major "league umpires are concerned. The system which gives a cut In the money to the first three teams in each league has tended greatly to increase the umpire’s burden. This system has been a good thing for baseball proper, since it makes the players fight to the last diteh. less woes to the task of umpiring. Last year the team that third In each major league received practically $1,000 per man for the |performance. Not so long ago that |was as much as the players on a losing team in the world series got. Until the present system of divis. fon was agreed on, the winning of the pennant alone attracted. Once 4 club felt that tts pennant chances were over, it was Inclined to take things easy. Now It's different, be- cause every pennant contender has three objectives—to win, place and show, It means that the umpire, any time he works tn a serfes in which a contending club has a chance to finish first, second or third, has his work cut out for him. In the old days, if a team got out in front late in the year with a Prohibitive lead, it was a cakewalk for the umpires, Today it is entirely different, tt ts 4 strenuous race to the very finish. The battle for the capital prize, as well as the two other prizes, makes it harder to ‘please the players. Kicking on the part of the players arouses the sympathy of the fans. Feeling that thetr favorites are get- ting the worst of it, the fans pick on the umpires. All of which makes {t seem that the umpires are work. ing poorly, YALE’S SEASON TICKETS GO UP NEW HAVEN, Aug. 31.—High cost of football is on the rise here, Season tickets for Yale university's home games will sell for $5 each this season, Last year the price was $4, ais $9.)
