will not report to the American League

Though Giants May Win Pen.
nant Eastern Clubs Are
Weaker.

With four Western teams occupying
the four first division berths in the
American League and two Western
teams holding first and second places
in the National League, not much COM
fort is left for baseball patrons of the
Atlantic slope. Only New York and
Philadelphia In the National League
retain a foothold for the East among
the so-called winning clubs.
1t was not SO long ago that the East
was supreme on the diamond. In the
decade preceding the birth of the
American League and the subsequent
baseball war the lions share of the
honors was m~onopolized by the East
ern clubs of the major league, and it
seemed impossible to break into their
strong ~intrenchments. The baseball
war did this by breaking up the power
full combinations got together in East
ern cities and scattering the brainy
players over the country.
For three years in the present CEN
fury Pittsburg carried off the honcrs
for the West In the old league, while
Chicago and Boston were dividing
them in the American League. Then
the pennants switched to New York
and Philadelphia in the East. Follow
ing hat came the segregation of all
the highest honors IN Chicago alone
in 1000. and since then both p%ennants
have remained with the West along
with the worlds championship.
But there has been no such specta-
Gle recently as that presented this year,
when the Western clubs hold practically
all the desirable positions in both
leagues. The result of this gradual
change during the last eight years has

wager. Fred Mcleod. professional golfer
of the Onwentsia Country Club. at
Lake Forest, last night made the
eighteen-hole course in SO strokes. aided
only by the dim light of a half moon.
He made the first nine holes in SO. and
was going at a fast clip until the four
teenth hole was reached.
Then the moon went behind a cloud
and the rest of the course was finished
in the dark. Mcleod used iron clubs
throughout, driving with a putter to
make the ball go straight, and using a
midiron through the fair green. He
laid nearly all his approaches dead,
and did not lose IL bah. The wager
was that he could not make the first
nine holes in better than 45.

EMPIRE TRACK TO
HAVE RACE MEET,
BUTLER DECLARES
Owner of Yonkers Track Re-
fuses Offer OF Brighton
Course.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-James Butler
of the Empire City Racing Association
in accepting the offer of the Brighton
Beach track for the August meeting of
his club. He recently returned from
Europe and yesterday announced posi-
lively that the Empire Clubs meeting
would be conducted over the Empire
City track. j.. Russell Solely, his per-
sonal attorney, made the declaration
in a signed statement. In the course of
this statement Mr.. Solely says:
M. Butler has not, at any time, nor
has he now.any intention of holding the
race meeting anywhere but at his own
track at Yonkers, with which the as
ISOLATION he represents is so fully iden-
titled and which has received the warm
n cordial support of his friends
throughout Westchester County, and
particularly in the city of YonkerS. He
would, under no circumstances, enter
tain for a m the dea of a. race
meeting of the Empire City Racing AS
ISOLATION at any other place than in
Westchester county, where he has his
home, and at the Empire City track,
whose recognition was the result of his
untiring efforts
The offer of the Brighton Beach AS
ISOLATION for the loan of it's track to
Mr.. Butler was made TO Matt ]. Vim,
genera manager of the Empire City
meeting, shortly after the famous
Bischoff decision was announced. Mr..
VIM accepted because of the genera
desire of turfmen to escape the incon-
venience of shipping to Eonkers and
the poor transportation facilities, which
were thought to be almost insurmount-
able obstacles to success under the.
new law. Mr.. Butler was in Europe at
the time and was consulted.
The meeting is. scheduled to open Au-
gust 10. and preparations for racing are
now being pushed forward rapidly.
Many improvements will be made this
season and all will be in readiness for
the sound of the bugle the first racing
day.
