At this stage of the proceedings it is in
teresting to look back and see how the
clubs have stood from time to time. A
glance over the percentage tables, month

daily been claimed by baseball experts
that never in the history of the national

The Boston team was now at the top OF
the heap. and her pitchers kept her there
awhile longer, but finally Baltimore made
squirt and displaced the Beaneaters. The
Washington team. during the visit of the
Western clubs TO the East, increased their
percentage materially, and on June 15
stood better than a any time before during
the race, and better than she has stood at
any time since. The Western men, during
their visit, all sank in percentage, but on
their return TO the West began tn pick UP

phia, now in third place, was eighth.

The recent performance of Henry Cor
nish, of the Chicago Athletic Club. has
drawn the attention of every athlete in
in the country. 1t is regarded as one Of the
greatest achievements. Cornish ran 100

pound shot 80 feet, made feet inch ON
the running high jump. walked $50 yards
| in 4:23, threw the sixtcen-pound ham,

inches with the pole. ran 120 yards over

pound shot 81 8 feet, made 19 feet 1-2
inches in the running broad Jump and fin

seconds. His total number of points has
been equaled by but five amateurs in the
world.
Ned Hanlon's offer to row the English
champion race over the Thames or Tyne
course for $4,000 side indicates that that
famous old paddler does not agree with
the notion OF some that he is a back num-
Der. Some years ago there would have
been little doubt in any ones mind as to
how race with such an oarsnnn as Hard
ing would terminate for Hanlon, but it is
doubtful whether he is anything near the
man he was before he turned into forties
The appearance of Jake Schaefer at the
benefit given Rudolph Heiser, at Chicago.
the other night, has been noted with much
satisfaction by all of the friends of the game
of billiards in this country. In an exhibi-
ton game with John Thatcher Schaefer
ran seventy points in a balk line game,
which showed that his injured arm was
coming around all right.
''Bucky" Vail, the University of Penn
sylvania crack quarterback of several
seasons past, has gone West to coach
either the University OF Michigan or the

1t is most likely he will accept the lattcr's
offer.
Beef Wheeler has gone back to Prince

not play, "but Princeton has a way of
suspending rules and formulating new
laws to fit the situation" says q football
expert. For example, the case of Phil
King. Wheeler can scarcely save Prince

'.He is a tower of strength, to be sure,
but unless the immediate future develops
some phenomenons in pigskin on the Mas
sau campus, Princeton's goose is already
well cooked. Yale will. easily down the
Tigers, and 1 wouldn't be at all surprised
to see Cornell give them a nasty seventy

At this time, after three months OF
aying, there were still nine teams-fiye
eastern and four weStcrn-with percent
age as good or better than 800. The SEN
ators were the only eastern club to he be-
hind that mark, and once the st. Louis
team took tenth place, but held 1t for only
a day ort two. Then the Washington club re-
gained it and has held it until now, and will,
no doubt. finish in that position.
After the middle of July Baltimore and
Boston both fell into losing streak, while
Pittsburg and Cleveland took another win
ming squirt. At Louisville the Bostons
struck a hard row Of stumps and they have
been on the toboggan slide ever since. First
the Pirates jumped ahead of the Bean
eaters and then the orioles. Then Cleveland
came along and passed the trio, and on Sat

Clevelanders are not pleased over the dis

every game played will put more dollars into
the pockets of the players it is not, it is pre-
