And while the Mays case is being re- viewed by Judge Wagner preparatory © & decision on the permanent in- Junction, the Board of Directors of the American League are hanging on to the trail of Ban Johnson with deadly intont. They are meeting in Chicago to-day to investigate several of his rulings and, perhaps, to get @ legal decixton as to their rights under the Constitution. On this board are Comiakey, Kuppert and Frazee. They are in Chicago now and ha invited Jim Dunn, the other director, and fan Johnson to attend. No one can claim inability to get there, as this meeting is being pulled right in the town whe: hnson and Dunn live, Ban Johnson declined to attend a previous meeting called by a majority of the Board of Directors, on the grounds, stated by him, that they had no authority to hold a meeting. If that be true, the board would be simply a figurehead. ‘There could never be a meeting if Johnson did not desire to call one, Therefore, following his theory, the Board of Directors has no authority except when he wants to give it. He could never be overruled, Constitution, because he never would call a meeting, In investigating this matter, one of the club owners re- called to his surprise the other day that he could not remember a board meeting ever having been _ held. Those who have property at stake are beginning to open their eyes, The Giants are now furnishing a mice gloat for the fans of Redland For the first time in the lives of the Present day baseball followers out there, the Giants are in second place, with the Reds on top. It must be a kind of chirpy feeling those birds have to see their Reds kidding with the Giants at the time of year when tho Giants usually are kidding them. In the smugness of their confidenoe, re- ports indicate that Rhineland ts now actually pleasant m its patronizing attitude toward McGraw and his men. Pat Moran is indeed entitled to all the capital letters and boldfaced type that can be put into his tithe of Miracle Man. Did you think you'd ever live to see the Reds like this?

Clevet Best Racing Since Saraioga on Aqueduct’s Opening Day Spirited Contests With Plenty of Contention in Every ivent on Card, By Vincent Treanor. first day of the fall meeting at Aqueduct resulted in about the best racing seen hereabout since the close at Saratoga, Contests were more spirited, there was plenty of contention in every event, and there was an air of general su! \sfac- tuon, noticeable all over the course, which was almost entirely lacking at Belmont Park. Some of the bis fields were altogether too unwieldly and they wore reduced by scratches, but in no one event did the withdrawals rob the race of its interest, as was often the case at the so-called New- market of America, These favorites, Gex, Krewer and Wildair, won a good day’s percentage, and in the other races the victories of the win- ners were more or less popular, if the applause of the crowd could be taken as @ criterion, Fairy Wand showed a creditable race when she led a good field of sprinters home in the Luke Black- burn at six and one-half furlongs, Vlaced at the extreme outside be- cause of her bad past actions, she was naturally at a disadvantage early in the race, but she soon over- came this, Before the stretch turn was reached she was forcing the pace of Lord Brighton. When he quit shorty after rounding the bend she took command and was never headed, And as usual she was at & very nourishing price. Corn Tassel, after disappointing all ran like @ different horse en- tirely in finishing second to Fairy Wand, Unable to hold his position after the first oighth, he was knocked back to about ninth, and at the home turn seemed out of the picture en- tirely. Just before the eighth pole was reached he began to overhaul those in front, and in picking out openings of knot hole dimensions, Buddy Kinser, on his back, showed himself a master rider, He was first compelled to take to the outside for racing room, and then to the inside, vigzag fashion, One by one he picked up those in front, but by the time he ot into @ position to set sail for Fairy Wand the race was practically over. Hollister closed fast in his usual hard luck way to be @ bang-up third, and Sennings Park came from far back ‘with a rush, too, in a manner that suggested that this race was just an airing for bim- Gex, long overdue, after being backed several times as a good thing, finally won a race, when he galloped home handily in front of non-winners ibe ws walt UEDUCT SELECTIONS.

Patience, a. in this case, is surely its own re- ward; for the stable connections of Gex had to finally take 7 to 10 after waiting a long while for the right spot for him, J. L. O'Toole’s Krewer is another one of those which has been long waited with, He has shown excellent form since early spring, although bi bas never won, but there have been spots in which he might have been cut loose before this, Yesterday wes the day picked for him, eveidently, end he was let down, but as is inva- mably the case “his people’ had to take @ short price in order to make it @ reasonably sure thing. One of the best matched fields of the day met in the Bayview Handi- cap, at a mile and a sixteenth, the four starters—Naturalist, Valor, War Cloud and Dunboyne—had un- |usually confident supporters. Dun- | boyne's anxiety for a “bust” at the |barrier resulted in a false break | which carried Naturalist nearly eighth of a mile before “Butts” Fatr- brother could pull him up, When the real break came, Dunboyne got the ‘ust anyway, and opening up a gap almost immediately, threatened to make @ runaway race of it. War Cloud chased him, while Valor and Naturalist, the latter having all the worst of it, trailed lengths back. At the bend of the stretch Dunboyne came almost to a dead halt, giving one the impression that he 9 just a sprinter, War Cloud then went to the | front and stayed there. Fairbrother had to come around the turn wide with Naturalist, but when “let down” the Widener horse made up ground fast. At the eighth pole he appears te have War Cloud headedf but fust when his backers were becoming jubi- lant he hung badly, Thereafter War Cloud was never in danger, With bet- ter raaing luck In the early part Naturalist might have won the race. No one besrudged the victory his horse the fifth race, @ long while Frank Regan insy won in Frank has been trying Wildalr ran to his “work” in the last race for the first time since he beat Homily early in the year, Patrol Judge Willie Midgley has gone in for smoking.

All of] I By Thornton Fishe 1BEEM WAITING & LONE NHE FoR mS WES Wie WHOOPER UP Ar THE Golfing With the Pros in Their Association Championship at the Engineers’ Club. By William Abbott. ORB action for professional M golfers. With the national championship and different sectional claims all settled for the season, the paid stars are now going to determine the standing of their own unit, the Professional Golfers’ Association. This championship, the last one for the pros around here this year, stars to-day at the new En- gBineers’ Club at Roslyn. There will be thirty-two com- petitors, who survived qualifying tests held in seven different sections of the country during the last six weeks, All competition will be at match play, and it will be a strange feeling for the pros to play for holes rather than strokes, the usual pro- fessional form of play. The field takes in mogt of the lead- The one notable absentee is Walter Hagen, national and met- ropolitan title holder, Hagen didn’t | take the trouble to qualify out in his | district in Chicago, but the double champion should fret. He's a busy bird these days learning how to jug- gle stocks and bonds out in Detroit. Unless the financial roof caves in it is only a question of time when the brilliant homebred will desert the professional golf ranks altogether. Hagen's failure to compete in the Engineers’ Club tournament Is disap- ponting to many fans that were anx- ious to see the national champ hook up with “Long Jim” Barnes, his chief rival, Thereare many supporters for Barnes who insist Hagen hasn't any- thing on the tall Cornishman on the links. Hagen finished about twelve strokes better than Barnes in the na- tional championship at Brae Burn. Jim came back, however, and reversed ‘this in the Western open at Cleve- and. So {t's pretty nearly a tossup between the two leading pros, Even without Hagen there will cer- tainly be some hard played matches for no one can ever have easy going in a field that comprises Mike Brady, Bob McDonald, Jock Hutchison, Tom- my McNamara and other experts with iron and wood. The last professional Golfers Asso- ciation’s championship was played in 1916 at Siwanoy. Barnes won, but not before Jock Hutchison carried him to the final putt for a victory. ‘The last one-day tournament of the Metropolitan Advertising Golfers’ As- sociation will be held Sept. 25 at the Siwanoy Club. H. Y, Barrow, the prominent Baltusrol golfer, will have charge of the tournament. The “Ad” men take a fling at both match and medal play when they get together. ‘The day starts with a nine-hole qual- ifying test. Groups of fours, accord- ing to their scores, are formed, ono pair playing against the other’ pair over a nine-hole route. Losing pairs engage in a consolation, the winning combination advance to a final round. Nearly fifty prizes will be awarded.
