RACE FOR End
in NATIONAL

While there are still some of the Ma
tionaI League managers and owners
who believe that their teams are go
ing to pass the Giants in the race for
the championship pennant of 1912, the
general followers of the sport are con-
ceeding the right to represent that
league in the worlds championship
series next October is already assur-
ed to the Giants. Their present lead
is certainly very impressive and the
only team that has so far been able
to give them a. serious argument is
Pittsburg.
The race for second position is just
now the most interesting feature of
the series. Pittsburg and Chicago are
having a great battle for the honors
and neither one seems to be able to
get very substantial lead over the
other The teams are fairly well
matched although Pittsburg looks, at
long range, to be rather stronger, es-
pecially in the batting department of
the game, and most of the followers
of the older league expect to see Man
ager CIarke's men finishing the sea-
son in second place.

first round of the "Y" tournament
which started yesterday The match
went to Larimer in straight sets. Ga,

The four men who will carry the
colors of Oahu in the coming inter
island polo championships are pau
practice, and will not take the saddle
again until they clash with Maui next
Saturday afternoon In the opening
game of the series. Although the
game IS four days away, Captain
Walter Dillingham; feels that the rest
will do both the men and the ponies a
world of good, and that they will go
into the match in better shape to put
up hard fight if they lay off for the
last few days. The ponies will, OF
course, get the right amount of exer-
else, but there will be no chances of
losing the best of the string through
last-minute i'll luck, such as cutting
down a mount in practice.
The Maui team will be on hand to-
morrow, and as the Valley Isle play
ers must be given a chance to stretch
their legs over their mounts before
they start match play, game is
tentatively arranged for tomorrow
afternoon against the Oahu seconds.
This should afford an interesting COM
parison between the play of the in
vaders and the Oahu firsts, for polo
followers are familiar enough with
the general form of the home team
to be able to size up opposition
against the Reds.

P0STP0NEMENT OF
TENNIS MATCHES
No Conflict Now Between the
Big Championship Events Of
Next Week-Hard Practice.

The decision of the committee in
charge of the championship tennis
tournament to call off play on the
two days when it confiicted with the
polo championships, is the best news
that the sport-loving public of Homo
lulu has heard for some time. First
class events of this sort come too few
and far between here to make
choice between the two necessary,
and tennis enthusiasts will be just as
glad of the chance to see the polo, as
the polo devotees will be to see the
court stars in action. The tennis
tournament will start as schedule on
Monday, July %, but there will be
no play on Wednesday or Saturday
of next week, the only two conflicting
dates.
Tennis men are hard at work get
ting "a final polish on their games.
Every afternoon there is consider
able. showing at Beretania and Pacific,
and there have been some hot prac-
tice matches of late.
About the fastest doubles seen to
date were played yesterday afternoon
at Beretania, when A. L. Castle and
Alan Lowrey paired off against A.
NJ NOVEL; and Eugene Horner. These
two teams will line up for champion
ship honors in the same order, and
while yesterdays game wasn't much
more than a practice. in which the
players took lots of chances that they
would fight shy of in tournament
play. 1t nevertheless gave the snec-
tators good run, and provided
line on FORM
The Castle-Lowrey combination won
60, 4-6, 6-1, after some brilliant
rallies. Horner is the champion of
Hawaii, while Lowrey is captain-elect
of the Harvard tennis team for 1913..
The latter plays a hard-hitting. dash
ing style of game, delivering his Sec
ond service as hard as his first. AS a
result he double faulted often yester-
day, but probably in match play he.
will be a deal more careful on this
point.
Miss Louise Phillips and Miss E.
Phillips. two Chicago players who will
play in the ladies' events, we're out
practicing yesterday afternoon, and
showed good form.
The drawings in the singles will be
made at .n00nnS Saturday when the pre-
liminary round games will be sched-
uled so as to divide up the early
matches between the Pacific, Neigh
borhood and Beretania clubs.

NEW YORK. N Y - Chief John
Tories Meyers bears the unique dis
tinction today of being the first Indian
baseball player to have his position in
the batting order changed; so as to pre-
vent opposing pitchers from giving him
too many bases on balls.
For three seasons now the big In
dian mas been allowed to pursue his
hard hitting way just above the pitch
er. When McGraw first put him there
he did not realize. perhaps, that Mey-
ers was going to prove the most nat
ural hitter in the league. When Bres-
nahan was with the Giants his hitting
ability was responsible for his batting
fourth Sometimes he led off. But
Meyers was getting along so well way
down the list that McGraw decided to
leave him there,
1t so happened that the chief was
frequently called upon to clean up the
bases, and he made good so often that
the opposing pitchers were forced to
figure out a scheme to offset that ter
rible wallop. They did this by giving
him a base on balls whenever there
were. runners on the sacks. preferring
to take a chance on the pitcher. who is
usually weak with the willow.
Is Deliberately Walked.
In the first thirty games played this
season Meyers was purposely walked
no less than sixteen times. This grad
ually cut down his run driving power,
and then it was that McGraw began
to figure. The result was that he NOV
ed the chief up peg in the batting
order and put good hitter behind him.
If the chief is given a base on balls
now, the opposing pitcher will find
strong young batter like Fletcher or
Groh ready to, take up the war club and
whoop.
Batters who are good walters" are
frequently moved up to the head of
the list so as to get as many bases on
balls as possible but the chief happens.
to be the first to be moved round to
get away from it. So far the change
has worked well. and Meyers can now
go ahead and crack the ball just as
hard as he pleases.
