New York critics and fans are care
fully watching the work Of Jim Vaughn
with the Washington team. The fact that
Vaughn proved failure there and has
won two games for Griffith since joining
his team has started a lot of gossip to
the effect that Vaughn did not exert
himself for the Highlanders, and that his
success here Is the result of his being
satisfied with the change.
There is no doubt. however, that
Vaughn was a valuable pitcher for the
New York club for several years He
did nothing to warrant his retention there
this spring but that was perhaps De-
cause conditions were not congenial. In
the few chances he has had to show Tor
Washington Vaughn seems to have Gre
ated the impression that Griffith made
wise move when he secured him.
Ed Honey has probably the most un-
usual record of any big league player IN
the game today. Ed has been playing
professional ball for eight years, and in
that time he missed only fourteen Salnes.
He has officiated in LOSS battles out OF
possible 1,o72 Last year he didn't miss
a game. This year he laid off for two
days to nurse a lame eye. Now mes

answer present" to every roll call for
the remainder of the year. There are

Arthur Shafer is coming to the front
very fast as the most promising young
ster on John McGraw's stan OF secohu
string players. In fact, the southern
California youth can hardly be classed
as q substitute because he has played In
as many championship games as some
of the regulars, and has established
himself as having ability enough to hold
his own with any of the first string men.
Shafer has all the requisites, mentally
and physically, to enable him to develop
into one of the stars Of the base ball
armament. When Shafer first Joined
the Giants, in Marlin. Tex, he was
mere kid" That was three years ago.
At that time he was fresh from college,
and while he gave great promise from
the start he could not be made to take
base ball seriously.
Manager Finn of the New Orleans
club has a solution for breaking up
batting slump. When the Finn club
chat kills, and very few base hits We're
being made, the manager gathered his
band of hitless wonders around his knee
and made a proposition that looked fair
Will hand i out n a dollar said Finn. And
since that time the club has improved
wonderfully at the bat. The manager
carries a roll of one-dollar bills around
with him. and every time a man makes
a hit Mr.. Manager dishes up bill. Not
a half bad scheme at that.
Jimmy Callahan, manager of the Chi
cage White sox, comes out with the
denial of story charging him with
assaulting Pitcher Benz at ST. Louis

Sargent expects to compete In the
national open championship, which will
be held at Buffalo, N. Y, August and
3, which event he won in 1909.
The sixteenth hole in the final round
of the first flight in Columbias tourna-
ment Of last week brought out some
the stream on his first stroke, yet took
the hole in 4. His ball lay on the
bottom in about seven inches of water.
Eynon waded in and missed it alto
gether on his first attempt. On his
second he laid his ball almost dead to
the hole. from which position he had
very little trouble in putting in on
his fourth. 1t was a beautiful piece of
work. It came in especially good. as it
made him up, probably saving the
match for him, as Davidson took the
seventeenth. Davidson would probably
nave won l up instead of losing to
Eynon by the same score, as Eynon took
the eighteenth.

the Bannockburn team, did not put up
MS best game, or the result might have
been different. Hall did some excellent
work in this match, and played his OPP
ponent completely off his feet.
In B. Warren Cochran the Baltimore
Country Club undoubtedly has the best
golfer in the south. Cochran has made
rapid strides toward the front and made
himself famous by defeating Walter j.
Travis a month or SO ago. He plays a
very consistent game, always turning
in good cards. and never having off
days In his match OF last Saturday,
when his team met Bannockburn's rep

Several changes have been made since

third place. Columbia has pulled up
from seventh to fourth. while Bannock-

QUESTIONS IN BOXING.
Matters Pertaining to Referee and
Weights Interesting Its Devotees.

NEW YORK, July 13.-Much discussion
has arisen lately In boxing circles upon
two subjects which seem of paramount
importance to the sport. the one dealing
with the PRONUNCIATION Of an International
scale Of weights, and the other with the
more advisable position for the referee,
in or outside the ring. In regard to the
first, the consensus Of opinion seems to
favor the adoption of some generally rec
ognized scale. in order that battles may
be on a more even basis and also to put
a stop to the false claims Of SO many
fighters for the championship of classes
to which they do not belong.

The records will show that no man

Palzer and Mccarthy are splendid young

perience before sending either of them

also the adoption of a new policy by
the Detroit club regarding building up
the team mo more International
League or American Association recruits
for u.s." he said. Those clubs are al
most entirely filled up with has-beens
and any young player who can do no
more than keep pace with them is not
good enough for the majors. We are
going to rake over the small leagues
and the sandlots. and get about q mill
lion absolutely raw recruits to take
south next spring. Out Of the lot we
hope we shall develop a few ball play
ers."
I'VE will try no more of the game of
letting near-major leagues develop them
for us. except in the case of the Provi-
dence team, which is under our own
management The youngsters who do
not seem to be quite ripe, but have the
natural ability. we will send to Provi-
dence for schooling"

AS an evidence Of putting the new
policy into practice, President Navin
has within few days bought five play
ers from small leagues, and ordered
them to report at once. After Jennings
tries them in few games certain ones
will be sent to train with Providence
for the remainder Of the season A
left fielder and a second or third base
man probably will play regularly all the
