The amount was too big. Falling to find relief, the Rube decided he must have that bankroll and began to talk business with the Fed: He says he did not his contract with the and that is ffidavit, And probably right, at that. There 1s not one ball player in ten who really knows the meaning of the clauses in these official docu- ments. All they desire to know is just how much they are going to get and what chance their club has of winning t nnant and getting in polo} the World ries. Dick Carroll, business manager of the Brookfeds, and Lee Magee, the playing manager, declare they are not losing ved over the problem. Neither iv P ident Hempstead. So, the betting Is that Rube will go right on with the Giants. President Ed Barrows of the Inter- national League had another long talk with Gov.

The All-Comers’ Carranza Aids Johnson To Get Out of Tampico Tourney to Start Here on Aug. 30 The All Comers’ national cham- pionship singles will begin on Mon- day, Aug. 30, on the courts of the Weat Side Tennis Club, at Forest Hille, L. I. The awarding of the date was de- cided following a meeting of the Ex. ecutive Committee of the United States Natibnal Lawn Tonnis Asso- elation in this city. Edwin F, Tor- rey, Secretary of the national body, said that the tournament would be- gin two weeks later than the time heretofore awarded to the Casino at Newport, R. 1. Leading players at the Seventh Regiment Armory expressed surprise that the tournament had not been scheduled for a week later as had been indicated by officials of the Weat Sido Club in the heated arguments at the annual meeting at the Waldorf Astoria. Instead of the tournament beginning on Labor Day as expected, that day will probably mark the de: ‘elding of the championship and so end the tournament. Julian 8. Myrick, Pivsident of the ‘West Side Club and Karl H. Behi who led the successful fight again: Newport, both stated that they re- garded the date highly satisfac- |tory, Officials of the association said |that’ the prospect of better weather jeconditions had been responsible for scheduling the tournament a week earlier than anticipated.

Now, in the cage of the Brooklyn, baseball public, or some part of it at least, will have the satisfaction of “sitting in” at games and knowing they are part owners of the organisation. In addition to $250,000 preferred atock there is $800,000 worth of common tock which is retained equally by Charlies Ebbets and the McKeever Brothers. —_——— IS DONOVAN AFTER HOME RUN BAKER?
