President Taft At the same time he
sent out the word that his name
would not go before the convention as

porters sat mute while the standpat-
ters. led by Senator Dick. presented
10 the convention the strongest stand
pat platform that a Ohio Republican
convention has seen in many years.
Garfield was out-generalled by the
stand-pat crowd and quit when he
saw himself defeated.

When twas found that the race
was for anybody who could get the
delegates together Burton started a
stampede to Congressman Longworth

for Roosevelt's son-in-law who was
gaining strength on each vote until

TO RECLASSIFY

INDICATIONS POINT TO GENERAL
REVISION OF PRESENT SYS-
TEN OF MINOR cLAssI-
LEGATIONS.

The classification legislation I'm the
National association national agree
ment will be revised at the annual
meeting of that organization in Chi
cago next fall, according to Joe Elan
son. The system may not undergo
radical change, but there will be mod
ifications that will do away with abus-
es and injustices that have arisen in
the course of the development of the
game, to individual minor leagues In
all sections of the country. The ma
jor leagues are interested I'm the mat
ter, because the draft price of the
player is determined by the rank of
the minor league of which the club
TO which he belongs is member at
the time of his selection, but the par
ties of the first part in the agreement
will have no part In the new group
ing of the minor leagues.
Through arrangement with the fed
eral officials, Secretary ]. ii. Farrell
has secured, or soon will secure, the
census of the cities of the country
which are represented I'm the National
association and amendments In clas-
sifcation legislation to be submitted
to the National association next fall,
will be framed by the national board
at a special meeting. The American
association and the Eastern league,
the two most powerful members of the
National association are without rep
resentation on the national board,
each having decided to nominate Il
candidate for the position.
These leagues have been insistent
I'm the demand that class to be called
Class AA be created for them, and II
each should send a delegate to the
meeting of the board for the consider
alton of the classification problem, 1t
is within the range of probability that
an arrangement might be reached
whereby the former insurgents and
the Pacific Coast league may be plac-
ed in n class by themselves. The dis
affection that has been In evidence
for wears would disappear IL the dis
satisfied leagues were given special
recognition and additional privileges.
and this could be done without sub
mission to the domination of the lea
cues so favored.

RUSSELL HAS FREAK BALL.


The wonderful success of Russell
Ford, the star pitcher of the High
landers. is due principally to the de-
velopment of freak spit ball curve
The regular spit ball Is thrown by COW
ering the tips of the first and second
fingers with saliva so that the ball
will slip off those fingers and not
take rotary motion. The ball. there
fore. gets its direction from the
thumb and wobbles to the plate In n
peculiar jerky fashion. The only
trouble with that curve is the inability
OF the pitcher to make II break "in' or
"out" to the batter according to the
wishes of the twirler. Ford has solved
that problem by inventing way or
making the curve break In. Ford
found that by moistenIng the knuckle
of his third finger with saliva that the
ball would slip off from the side In
stead of the tips OF the fingers, and as
there Is no friction on the right side
of the ball II would gradually droy "in-
side" of the plate. He controls II
perfectly. He can also make the ball
break outward by moistening the
thumb.

two or three new men of intelligence

the league chief. ut is necessary TO

GOLFERS EASILY EXCEL

How far can Tyrus Cobb, Hans Wag-
ball, either by fungo batting or hitting
it as it is pitched? > -a'
How far can such long drives as
Fred Hereshof or Alec Smith drive a
golf ball from a tee?
II is dollars to a red apple that
either of these golfers can drive as
many yards as any Of the trio of the
worlds best batters can feet. All
of this by way of a little story about
a bet recently made between a Phil
adelphia golfer and a man who scorns
the game. What is the betting that
can't throw a golf ball around your
links and do il i'm fewer thraws than
you will with your clubs?" asked the
latter.
"I'll bet ten to one that / will beat
you i'm an 1S-hole match, using my us
ual clubs" was the answer. 81 will
let you do anything you want. You
can throw the golf ball or bat it or
kick it. ON the green you can roll it
in the hole or throw il I'm, or if you
wish you can take along a billiard
cue
This novel match has been arranged
and will be played in Philadelphia.
The chances arc that the non golfers
arm, If he throws the ball much, will
be in n sling. The bet looks like a
cinch for the golfer.

AMERICA SHOULD GO BACK
TO PRIVATE PRIZE FIGHTS

New York, Aug. John L. Sulli-
van and some of the old time gla-
diators are urging that we return TO
the private fights" and have done with
the carnival of advertising whlch has
done more than anything else to kill
boxing in the United States.
Thirty years ago all the big fights
were arranged privately. There was
no advertising; there was so system
of elaborate training, with the news
papers giving two and three pages
daily to the inconsequcntial incidents
of camp routine. Consequently there
was no agitation against fighting.
The new plan is to return to the old
system. The meeting place will be
private and the spectators shall be
limited to possibly 100. Each spec
tator must pay 500 for the privilege
of seeing the battle and newspaper
men will not be present unless they
are able to discover the fight place.
If newspaper men were present at
fights i'm the old days they were sworn
To secrecy as to the meeting place so
that when their stories appeared an
erroneous spot was mentioned as the
scene Of the battle.
The plan has both its advantages
and its disadvantages. The wonder
full system of newsgathering these days
would make II pretty hard to escape
the newspapers, and II is very doubt
full If the sporting editors would con"
sent to naming a false location.

TEUR TRACK AND FIELD
EVENTS Is NOW THING
OF THE PAST.

That the heyday of the Briton In
athletics is past is shown by a com
parison of the times made in the re-
cent English amateur track and field
championships and those made at the
of the United States. The table
printed below shows the times made
by the Britons and the Americans In
the national championships. At the
English championships the 100-yard,
220-yard and pole-vaulting events
were won by foreigners. Tex Rams
dell of the United states taking the
100" in 10 1-5 seconds and the 1920"
in 22 2-5 seconds, and X. de SZath-
mary, the Hungarian. taking the pole
vault with IL feet, Z 1-2 inches. The
times given in the table are those
of the winners, except in the instances
where the events were won by for
eigners. when the best performances
made by the Englishmen are recorded:

SPORTING EDITORS NOTES.


Scout Dick Padden of the Washing
ton club reports that good youngsters
are decidedly scarce in the minor lea
CUES this year.
Olmstead handles himself well and
has plenty of steam. He led the Am
erican association last season and has
performed neatly for the Sox.
First Baseman Stovall of Cleve-
land has worked the hidden ball on
opposing players three times this sea-
son-on Washington, New York and
st. Louis.
Jesse Tannehill, the veteran pitch
err of the Minneapolis club, has quit
the Millers. Jesse figured that he was
not earning his salary.
Red Killifer of Washington has i'm
proved wonderfully in his playing
second base. He is covering lot OF
ground and seems to be thoroughly
familiar with the position.
Big Ed Walsh, the star twirler OF
the White Sox. is disheartened. The
reverses that the speed Boys" hand
cd him recently, together with the
death of his brother, have rendered
the former spit ball wonder bereft OF
his old-time effectiveness.
President Lynch has come to the
conclusion that the cork center ball
Is all right, and that the complaints
came in simply on account of bad
couple of dozen balls sent to Chicago
which the makers have taken BACK
and replaced with good balls. For the
present. at least, the league will con-
tinue to use the cork center ball In all
games.
It is peculiar how many unpires

TWENTY-FIVE HOME RUNS.

The Boston Red Sox have made
twenty-five home runs this season
and most OF the four sackers have been
gathered on their own grounds. The
Boston park Is deep and any ball
that gets by one OF the outfieiders
generally goes for four bases. That
accounts for the fact that Boston has
made twice as many home runs as
any other club in the league, with the
exception OF Detroit, which has made
thirteen. This Speaker leads Bos-
