The expected has happened in the case
Of the Athletics. Losing a majority of
the games to Boston in the recent series
Mack's "Squealers' are on fair way
to hit the toboggan, and it would not be
at all surprising to find the team which
won the worlds championship last sea-
son f1oundering around in the second oil
vision when the campaign is over.
The failure of Mack's pitching staff has
caused all his trouble. Coombs and Plank
have delivered as well as could be expect
ed, but Bender has been disappoint-
ment. The chief does not give the game
the attention he used to and without him
the teams chances are greatly impaired.
Had any one predicted when the sea-
son opened that the Nationals stood a
chance to finish in front Of the Athletics
in the race a lunacy commission would
have sat in Judgment on his case, and
yet that very thing is very apt to hap
pen The failure OF the Athletics would
merely be another case of history repeat
ing itself. Championship winners, once
they find themselves slipping, lose all
interest in the race and go from bad to
worse. Players who have been drawing

To judge by the number of teams which
were quoted last night as intending to
turn out for the amateur day exercises
next week the event should be much
more interesting than it would have been
interest in the affair is being taken by
the teams and league presidents as well.
There were only about thirty teams
down to take part in the parade had 1t
come off the date first mentioned, but
July 20. the time set last night at the
meeting of the commission. there will
probably be near forty.
The following is a list of the number
of teams that will be placed in the pa
rade by the different circuits, according
to assurances given out last night: Co
lumbia, four; Departmental, four; East
Washington. four: Capital City, four;
Sunday School. two; Northern, four; In
dependence, four; Marquette. three: r.
r. Y. NJ. G.. A., four; Government. four.
making a grand total of thirty eight
teams in line.
If that many teams take part in the
event it will mean that nearly GOO ball
players will be in line. Allowing fifteen
men for each team, conservative esti-
will probably run a little higher.
Last spring there was no little surprise
occasioned by the excellent work of
schoolboy runner, Ted Meredith, and
many were the predictions to the effect
that he would be heard from before the
end Of the season. He was, but not one
of the men who saw in him a wonderful
runner had an idea that he would
make the brilliant record which now
stands to his credit.
Although running in practically every
meet of Importance during the entire
year, Meredith has yet to be defeated
There has been no runner against whom
he has been pitted able to come any
where near holding his own. He was
simply above the schoolboy class. 1t was
generally thought that when he got into
faster company and met the older men
he would be unable to show as well. Time

notwithstanding his previous brilliant
performances. 1t was thought By several

but the addition of Rice to the Sailors
nine will add a great deal of strength to
it both on the offense and defense. There
is much speculation going on over the
question as to whether not Rice has
strengthened the club enough to place it
on even terms with the Typesetters.
Rice is q pitcher and worked his first
game for the Medcos Saturday, which he
won. Before going into the Marquette
League he played with the Marines in
the Capital City. When that club disband-
ed last year he joined the Naval Medical
School.
Rice is a pitcher much above the aver
age, If he is able to work in his old form,
and is also pretty fair hitter

Maruuard Finally Blows.

CHICAGO, July 9.-Pitcher 'Rube'
Marquard met his Waterloo yesterday,
after winning nineteen straight victories.
He was taken out after the sixth inning,
Chicago defeating New York to in the
opening game Of the series.
This is Marquard's first defeat Of the
season. His inability to foil the local
men at critical times and errors OF his
teammates proved his undoing. He was
opposed by James Lavender. recruit
who. backed by the heavy, opportune
hitting of the Chicago players, had little
difficulty in keeping his team in the lead.
Lavender allowed five hits, which were
punched in two innings.
Marquard gave way to DevOre in the
seventh to allow the outfielder to bat. and

to come 1t is one OF the most remark
able pitching performances In the his
tory of base ball. and is probably
greater achievement than similar per-
formances which appear greater because
III the old days the game was much diff
ferent from what 1t is today
Marquard's success after several years
of failure merely goes to show that if
pitcher has ability he can eventually be
taught the fine points of the game, which
make it possible for him to be success.
McGraW deserves a lot of credit for hay
ing held on to Marquard when it seemed
that the youngster would never make
major league pitcher.
To win the pennant with that Boston
team would mean much to jim McAleer.
Having invested his life savings in that
club. pennant and q worlds series
would more than show profits enough to
return to him his original investment
McAleer deserves lot of credit for his
gameness in taking his all and putting
it into the game with which he has been
identified SO long. 1t was taking LONG
chances. and he deserves every success.
What is more there has not been the
slightest friction, such as was predicted
between the various interests of the Bos-
ton club. Jake Stahl has been allowed
to conduct the team according to his own
ideas and this to large extent accounts
for its success.
Is there any wonder that the boxing
game is growing more unpopular every
day, when on a single day two such UNI
satisfactory exhibitions as the Johnson
Flynn and the Wolgast-Rivers bouts are
produced. Few true sportsmen are identi-
fed with the game. which seems to have
fallen into the hands of takers and show
men, and the time is not far off when
the sport will be barred in every section
of the country.
There is but one salvation for boxing.

says John B. Foster in the New York
Telegram.
There never have been more clubs
which are soiicitoCs of obtaining first
class players than this year.
Which brings up the question as TO
whether America is failing in the produc
ton Of first-class base ball talent Ii is
not an easy question to decide. Ii is GER
tain that there are four or five clubs in
the major leagues which could survive
the injection OF more than half a dozen
tirst-class players.
In the minor leagues and in the indie
pendent and semi-professonal cluDs
which are playing throughout the United
States there appear to be no great stars.
Is 1t possible that government positions.
appointments, positions of considerable
emolument with trusts and the like are
holding forth such inducenent that they
are running professional base ball into
the shade?
Gree there was considered nothing pro-
ductiNe of more hard cash than . first
class base ball salary. and the work which
goes with the position, while severe at
times, is not monotonously dull.
But all the young athletes seem to be
turning aside from base ball, either TO
wed heiresses get into politics.
