SPORTING COMMENT
BY T. d. BONNEVILLE.

In discussing the action OF the Ma
tionai League magnates in adopting
the extended 154-game schedule and
the possibility of his declaring the
worlds series of on account of that
action. Ban Johnson. president OF tho
American League. says that he will
not take any definite action until he
has learned the sentiment Of the
baseball public. This Is the first d.
rect statement that johnson has
made relative TO what he will do in
the matter, and in this he does not
disclose his plans, From past ex-
rericnce and from present indications
he knows we'll the sentiment of the
baseball public with reference to the
worlds series, and that Is that IL de-
rnauds The lifting climax TO the pen
nsnt fights In the two major leagues.
johnson knows all about this. and
needs no further demonstration; he
doubtless has some plan of action
mapped out to be followed In the
event some change Is not made in
| the schedule by the voluntary action
/ of the magnates OF the National
| League.
l What johnson Is waiting fer rs
that he baseball public shall make
/ known its wishes in such forceful
manner that the obstruetionists, as
they are termed, shall realize that
/ they must recede from the position
they have assumed, for the good of
themselves and baseball in general,
In making his statement, which has
been given wide publicity, johnson
throws OH a gentle hint to the base

make howl. and IL this Is done to
| good effect he viii be relieved of the
trouble of adjusting the matter him

Bob Stafford, manager of the Ports

several days ago, and whose statement
regarding the Grim question was

It's tones are unmistakable. Stafford
says he Is going to manage the Truck

wants to. but the purchase will not
affect his position with 1t. He has
his contract. and he Is going to carry
il out. Furthermore. Stafford says
the Portsmouth club will be there n,
the finish.
The Portsmouth fans are behind

Bob Stafford Ia to he let alone anC
allowed to manage the club, there IL
no cause for regret that Grim did not

South, where he has spent most oil
his time.

FOGLER-GOULLET MATCH FOR SUNDAY
POstponement Has Given Men
Good Chance to Train
For 1t.

MYTH an extra week to get into
w proper condition for a long,
gruelling race, both Alf. Goul-
let. the little Australian. and Joe Fog
Ter. the Brooklyn speed marvel, are in
fine shape for their ten-mile human
paced pursuit race, which will feature
the excellent card at the Velodrome
track on Sunday afternoon Sir Joseph
is more determined than ever to win
the race and prove beyond all doubt
TO the local fans that the wonderful
little p1ugger from the Antipodes IS
beatable In a pursuit race.
The race has caused interest among
the bike followers, and the wiseacres
and railbirds are up a tree over the
outcome of the race. 1t will bring to-
gether two of the best pluggers in the
game and two good sprinters. AS far
as the plugging ability goes, the men
are evenly matched, while in the
sprinting end of the game Fogler is by
far the faster. AS each man will have
five pacemakers. the same to be drawn
at track side, the race should be
corker. Every rider in the professional
rank. outside of Champion Frank L.
Kramer, will be picked by the riders
as pacemakers
Besides the match. the money-chasers
will have two races to ride. in which
neither Fogler nor Goullet will start.
In the half-mile handicap Kramer and
Eddie Root will be on scratch. 1t has
always been the ambition of Root to
win race from Kramer, especially
when they start on even terms.
Kramer is out TO win both races, the
half and the three-mile open. The open
race will be run in heats, four all told,
with four men in each to qualify for
the final. In the final dash for the
money sixteen men will face the
starter All the men are in grand
shape, and there promises to be some
tall hustling in both of these events,
for the men are determined that Kra-
mer will not make a clean sweep of
the two races, as he has planned to do.
The Simon Pures.
The feature event on the card for the
amateurs will be a quarter-mile ma
tional championship event, in which
all the cracks will start. Frank Blatz,
the Jersey City plugger, who is also
