MIKE MURPHY DOES NOT
 LIKE NEGRO ATHLETES

The fact that J. A. Howard, the negro athlete of Winnipeg College, has been dropped from the Canadian Olympic team for insubordination in London, calls attention to one circum- stance in connection with the Amer ican team Though several negroes performed we'll enough in the try outs to be deserving of a place on the team, but one was chosen by the se- lection committee-H. P. Drew, the man, who beat Craig in the 100 me ters
 On previous team that Mike Mur- phy had in charge it was said that one of the men who did we'll in the tryouts refused to follow the instruc- tions of the trainer and preferred to strut around the streets receiving the admiration of the crowd rather than do the work he was told to do.
 When this man seemed likely to make the present team, Murphy is said to have made a vigorous objec- ton and to have gone so far as to give the option of leaving him home if the objectionable member went along. Needless to say, Mike went with the team.

Earl the oldest, and manager of the team, has played in the Tri-Statk and New York State leagues. Most of his work. however, has been around this city with two summers spent at Atlantic City.
 Harold, the other son, is just out of Lasalle college and is said to be as good as Earl. The boys have the best collegians of this vicinity, and in the games played this season have beaten all corners They played a double-header in North Adams on Thursday. then have games in fIeo- minister. Woonsocket, Webster, South bridge and Worcester, with prospects of adding to their list as they 20 along.
 Another youngster who is on the trip is John Kilroy, Pa son of Matty Kilroy, who is a friend of Connie Mack. Kllroy and Mack have fur nfshed the money for the collegians to make the trip, despite the fact that they are expected to pull down good guarantees.

action of the league, books himself away two Sundays in succession and again balls up the schedule; and when I object secured the papers to try and make me out a poor sport as he calls it.
 Forty dollars twice in succession would have, about made the West Ends even and no doubt they would have then quit. It took foxy MT. Ritchel to attempt this deal, but I nor any team will not stand for it and in this the sporting public will no doubt stand behind us.
 MT. Ritchel speaks about the Fourth of July game we played at Stamford. This is about the biggest nerve yet. That game was purely an exhibition game and had nothing whatever to dc with the league. Manager Giblin ask ed me some time ago if l could bring the St. Josephs down to Stamford as the town was anxious to see them perform. A little case of jealousy on MT. RitchePs part. &
 Wednesday morning I called MT. Ritchel up and told him of the unfair methods he was using and that we would not play here again Sunday and twice in succession, and he agreed to change it. I wrote MT. Spillane and told him not to come down and he called me on the phone asking if would go to Lighthouse Point and he made me promise him to do so. He told me that there was no money in the league for him and that he did not like the way things were run. He also said under no conditions would he travel to Stamford. Tricky Ritchel beats it up to New Haven last night and spreads the salve and Manager SpiIanes calls off my game. Now who is the poor sport. I informed MT. Ritchel that I wrote to Spillane nothing (poor sport) about that. Why did he not do the thing in business like manner and call a meeting, but no that would have been too fair deal Trusting that this will put me in right with the public I remain,
 Yours in sport,

IN MAJOR LEAGUES

For the first time in many years we see a team going out in mid season to clinch pennant. The Giants expect to do this on their next invasion of they play the same assortment of baseball they have shown us so far this season. This is in contrast with past years when New York has been contender and fighting it out to the very end of ,the season. The trium- phant tour last year was made in September and the pennant was not home. This season the climax is staged practically in the second act and the audience will have to sit out the balance of the show knowing in advance what the hero, G5c., are going to do.
 With the pennant winner in the Ma tional League a foregone conclusion, interest generally it's turning toward the race in the American League. which is a more lively dispute. There is a wide difference of opinion as to whether the Red Sox or Athletics will be participants with the Giants in the next worlds series, but it is almost agreed that it vii be one of these two clubs.
 The Athletics look the stronger at this time despite the fact that the Red Sox are leading. Connie Mack's club always comes along slowly, but with the hot weather it usually be- gins to play real championship ball. The Red Sox have helped themselves into a comfortable lead at the ex- pense of the Yankees; but they can- not hope to be so successful against Washington, Chicago and the Mack men. Connie Mack expects to have his team leading the league by Aug. 1, and many think he will. This is based on the expectation that from now on the Athletics will outplay any ington, Chicago and one or two other clubs will help materially to cut down the Boston lead while Connie is ad~ vancing upon the citadel.
 It appears that Hank OiDay will have to be content Ito finish about fourth this season. The Giants have completely blasted their pennant hopes and the Cubs and Pirates fig among themselves. The Reds pitch ing staff is weak and the team does not seem to make as vicious an at tack behind poor pitching as it did In the early part of the season when the twirlers were doing good.
 eBig Ed Sweeney of the Yankees played a game that will not make President Farrell regret that he raised the catcher's salary and fortified position that was weak when he came on from Chicago. Tn addition he has been hitting we'll. His average does not loom up as anything extraord1- nary. but his hits have been timely and for extra bases in many cases.

 gro say I will be sorry to lose the little Hopi," said Warner, the Carlisle coach, ''is not stating all the facts. He was studious and never made trou- ble for me like some of the other Indians. He was always in condf- tion, said very little and always na2e strict attention to the rules BDA down.
 You can't help but admire Towz- nina for his fine running in the past He has been a credit to athletics. The more he was asked to race the better he liked it.
 This is Tewanima's second trip into foreign soil. At the London Olym- pics he finished eighth in the mara thon race. He has invariably shown his best form outdoors.

 Skipper Eley pulled funny one in the eighth. With Spratt on third. Pitcher Lower threw a wide ball that eluded Catcher Brennan Hey was standing halfway between the bench and plate waiting for his turn at bat. Instead of letting the ball roll Eley picked it up and then when he req 1ized his mistake tossed the ball be- hind him. Spratt scored but the um- pire sent him back to third He said if there had been any chance of get ting Spratts at the plate he would have called the runner out for inter ference Eley admitted it was a thoughtless action on his part. He was bawled out by Boss McCann and there is no telling what McCann would have said if E1ey hadn't made a screaming triple after, his mistake.
