MINOR LEAGUES ARE
 HAVING POOR SEASON

Chicago, H., July 25.-with the baseball season half over, outward and visible signs are abundant that the year 1918 is not likely to establish a high record for prosperity among a the minor leagues The larger orgAntza- minor leagues The larger orsan1za- tions are reported to be coming along nicely, but many of the smaller ones are finding 1t hard going. Several threw up the sponge before the season was many, weeks old. Some are en- -deavortng to weather the storm by shortening or otherwise chang1ng their circuits, while others are beIfev- ed to be very close to the rocks.
 The United States league quit bus mess before it got fairly started and the Mink league also succurnbed early in the season.
 The Interstate league, which started the season with eight clubs, has dis banded.
 The Illinois Missouri league has dropped Pekin and Canton from the circuit and the Western TTi-State has shortened sail by dropping La Grande and Baker.
 minor organizations that has sl orten- ed it's circuit because of poor support Manhattan and Junction City were the places dropped
 The franchise transfers have been numerous all along the line and re- suited in nearly every instance from poor business. The Covfngton team in the new Fedora league has been transferred to Kansas City. In the Falls team has been switched to Hugo, Okla The Milwaukee team in the Wisconsin-I1linois league is now 1ocat- ed in Fond du Lac

INDIAN PITCHER IN
 MONTANA LOOKS GOOD
Bunalo Enauirer.l )

Miles City, Mont, July 25-There Is a young Crow Indian in the Standing Rock reservation by the name of -"Crow Skin'', and Rhe far western fans are watching him every day.
 Crow Skin is only seventeen years old and has never been away from the reserve to profit by watching other hurlers shoot them over and all that he has is everything but a weak heart.
 In a recent game against a South Dakota town he struck out twenty five men and while they were not big league players, most of them have been playing on pretty fast bush teams. Crow Skin has never been beaten thus far and unless he lets up on his smoke the chances are he nevsr will be, until he gets into company that sees 'em coming over.
 His catcher is the reservation physi- elan. a big man and an ex-co1lege player, who declares that the young brave has the fastest ball that he has ever seen, and that means Johnson, Smoky Joe Wood and all the rest Crow Skin will not be allowed by Uncle Sam to leave the reservation until he is twenty-one years old.

GIANTS EXPECT
 ID CLEAN UP WEST
Players Say Flag Will Be Clinched on Return
 Home

The Giants pulled out for St. Louis Et s:30 o'clock last evening after wind ing up one of the most successful home seasons they have ever had.
 They had confidence pictured all over their classic maps. they skylarked like a lot of kids bound for the coun- try; and they were absolutely certain and didn't hesitate to say so-that when they come back after tackling the Cardinals Cubs, Pirates and Reds on their home heaths, there'll be noth- tna left for them to do but arrange how to split their Worlds Series money
 The Giants. you know, are a better road club than a home club. Almost invariably they grab more battles while trouping than while enca.mped ur,ter the cliffs of the benevolent Col. Coogan. If they play much bet- ter on this trip than on their last home saay-well, we'll have to find some percentage higher than l, 900 for them
 Since they rattled into New York late in June they have played thirty cannes and have come out on the win ming end of twenty-six of them, which Henes s67.i They have cleaned up all seven other clubs, the lowly Cardinals being the only team to take two games Of a series away from them. They have been trimmed only by the said Cardinals, once by the Cubs and once by the Braves.
