" HIS baseball situation certainly
has the National League politi-
clans "leary." The Wardites and
Huydlerites are fighting hard and as
surely as can be a compromise can
didate will spring forth. That the
sitautiop has the marks of a deadlock
is evident from the things that are
said and done and Threatened. For In
stance we learn threats Of Gerry Herr
mann and Barney Dreyfus going to
the American League If John M. Ward
be elected to succeed John A. Huydler.
OPP the other hand, we hear of John 7.
Brush warning Hermann that unless
he cease pulling for Huydier, the presi-
dent OF the Reds would not be re-
chosen in the National Commission.
So it goes all the time, each side threat
ening and c~ojaiing; meanwhile Joseph
O'Briep Is gaining strength and sooner
Thar have war enough. votes will be
Forthcoming to elect him, as he is the
lightest colored dark horse in sight.

Lee Johns Is cutting up high links
this year on his own alleys, the Ok
ford. The first thing we heard this
year was that Lee had made q 300
score. A little later there was another
perfect score. Last week. he just missed
another 800 mark by one pin and this
week he rolled 296. Last night, bowling
against Jimmy Watts on the Oxford
alleys in a Greater New York and In
tercity match. Johns hung up a worlds
record for high average for six gaines
a7l.3.
When Clarke and Rutt stole the lap
at 4 o'clock this morning that put
them in the lead over all, Mrs. Eddie
Root got so excited that she Is said
to have pulled out lone OF her hatpins
and stabbed Trainer RED" Wagner,
who got into an argument with her
over the race. She was escorted out
oxsthe Garden by Harry Pollock.
Like in~tbe bath-tub mystery, the
truth about the Jeffriess johnson fight Is
coming out. Now we have s"T Rick
ard saying that he had taken in
Gleason because the latter had jim
Jeffries and he himself controlled john
son.
The feat accomplished by Clarke and
Autt of gaining two laps on the field
within 80 hours certainly sent their
stock a%-boolning and makes them the
logical winners. The pace they set
was killing. Percy Lawrence couldn'
last. neither could Hehir. Pye and
Nalstead hooked up. Lawson and De-
Mara are not in the best of shape. An
derson and Nanopi, the pace
and stir-up boys of the race. having
accomplished their work. have fallen

To the sporting Editor OF tae Star;
2 sixteen people make q poo! up en-
Inc six day race, each man picks q
team to win. A picks R.rtt and Stoi
& hicks Clark and Mcfarland. Now,
according 10 the race MacFariand ana
stol are out OF the ace, which splits
those tearps. If they win the race 90
they win the pool or does the neAl
team, which does not split win the poor.
Thanking you for your space.

To tho Sporting Editor OF the star;
kindly decide the following: Tine
men OF this firm have made q pool ot
the present six-day race, each man
picking o team. Now 1t has caused
Quite some trouble in regard to the
added team of Rutt and Clarke. A says
that Rutt and Clarke are q new team
and cannot take first place In the pool,
B says that half of his team being
in the race Ia can claim first place with
the man that has the other half. Kind
ly publish in this evenings paper. and
oblige. NJ NJ
II Clarke and Rntt win the race we
would divide the money or cali all bets
of. 1t might be a good idea to pro-
vide a rule for such an exieency In the
future when making a pool on such
an afrair-Ed.
The same goes for +. L. Mild.
