LITTLE HOPE FOR THE POPE,
is VERDICT OF PHYSICIANS
italian Government Summons Doctors
Attending Plus and Told That
End May Come Soon.

Rome, Italy, April 17-The Italian
government. desiring to be sure of the
real condition of Plus X, on Thurs
day summoned those directly re-
sponsible for the care of his health.
The pcpe's physicians responded to
the appeal for direct statement with
the frank declaration that it was ex-
tremely difficult to say that the pom
tiff's constitution would overcome the
present crisis, but even If it does so,
1t was explained. the pontiff's condi-
ton still would be considered precar-
ious and the end might be expected
any time.
Prof. Marchiafaya compiled the
morning bulletin in Cardinal Merry
Del Walls apartment, which he visited
after his call at the pontiff's bedside.
Upon leaving the Vatican Prof Mar
chiafava said that his patients condi-
ton was much more satisfactory.
Besides the diminution of the cough,
the general weakness was not so
accumulated and the pulse not so
fast. The pope enjoyed more regular
breathing, as the bronchial trouble
seemed improved.
The popes condition as set forth IN
the bulletin was as follows:
The pontiff spent calm night. A
diminution CT his cough has relieved
the holy father considerably. His
temperature was 81 this morning.
Slight amelioration in the bronchial
symptoms was again noted.
"MARCHIAFAVA.
"AMICI"
Improvement in the popes eondi-
tion was shown by the fact that he
was able to retain quantity of chick
en- jelly and that he slept peacefully
for a considerable time Early in the
evening he acknowledged that he was
feeling the benefit of the absolute rest
imposed upon him and that he felt
more inclined to sleep naturally than
at any other time since his illness.
The pope is extremely concerned
over the trouble he gives those around
him, often expressing to them his
deep gratitude, especially those who
assist him at night, and repeatedly
urging them to go to bed. Sometimes
his insistence is so marked that to
satisfy him they leave the room.

Wilson, who admitted that desperate

horse.
To show that Wilson was innocent he
grabbed the dough and kept 1t. Did he
null the horse? Oh. no. The horse lost
for the simple reason that he left his
speed In the stable. Funny animals, those
horses are at times.
Well. anyhow-as Mr.. Dooley would say
the meeting came off at scheduled time
What came off no one knows. The re-
port is that Wilson was ruled off for
life. and il such is the case nobody will
wear mourning.
In all probability the decision of the
mosuls will be promulgated within a day
or so: and if Wilson has no job in sight
it would not be a bad thing If he started
to learn some trade.

the past two weeks local enthusiasts

for 1t, for In the two weeks from August
to 16 both dates inclusive, they won
only five games in eleven starts-a per-
centage which, il maintained. would have
landed them in the second division. But.
fortunately for them, the Clevelanders.
who had been burning up things only a
little while before, made precisely the
same record-hve victories and six de-
feats, and. STRANGELY enough. the Wash
ingtons. who were real devil:sh for
while, showed precisely the same figures
I'm the same period. The Athletics lost

Washinstons IL In that time. The i'm
portance of the Athletics three victories
out of four with the Maps i'll the last
series at Shibe Park is thus most inn
pressively emphasized.
Now as to tine outlook. At this writing
the Athletics have forty-five games to
play and the Cievelanders forty-two.
Assuming that for the balance OF the sea-
son the locals, only maintain their per-
centage for the season-and, if pushed.
they should do decidedly better-they
would wind up with los victories. To
beat this. the CIevelanders would have to
win th.rty-six out of the forty-two games
they have yet TO playa percentage of

be: Cleveland, lO4-JO-.615; Athletics,

that the Maps will swing along at an
.S57 gait for the rest OF the season. nor
is it probable the Athletics VIII go
through the balance of the season losing
every third game. they play unless they
should happen to strike slump of un-
usual proportions. At this distance it
looks as though Manager Mack IS put
ting his charges through what the horse
men call j well-rated race. He must
conserve his pitching strength. even if it
is at the expense of an occasional game
that might have been won. There is no

ALL READY FOR BIG
TENNIS TOURNAMENT
Regiment of Players at New
ports Casino for Open
ing Day.

NEWPORT, r. l., August 1S.-A regi-
ment of lawn tennis players strolled into
into the Casino grounds today for the
opening matches in the thirty-third ma
tional championships in singles. 1t is ex-
pected that ten days will be required to
uncover the titlehoider for the year.
The championship doubles will be
played on Wednesday and the national
interscholastic championships started the
same day.
1t was a youthful lot Of players that
started in the all-comers' tournament to-
day and there was an unusually large
number of players from the west. In
fact. the tournament this year is looked
upon more as a battle between the vet
Grams Of the east and the young dashing
players from the Pacific coast The
doubles championship will go to the Pa
cif1c coast in any event. as the four con-
testants on Wednesday are all from that
section.
The grandstand contest today was by
general consent the match between r. c.
Seaver of Boston and r. Norris Williams
of Philadelphia.
There is typical Newport weather. dull
in the morning, sultry and with scarcely
any breeze, so that all the players pre-
pared for blistering day on the courts.

WHY ZOE TINKER IS
ANGRY At HERMANN
Opposed to Passing of AImeida
and Egan for Equivalent
in Cash.

NEW YORK. August 1S-Base ball
men who are conversant with inside facts
are supporting Manager Joe Tinker Of the
Cincinnati Reds in his controversy with
Owner August Hermann. These facts
were related yesterday by friends of
Tinker, who said that it was Advisable to
let the truth be known now, while the
iron is hot
The cases of Almcida, the Cuban in
fielder, and Second Baseman Dick Egan
are at the bottom of the trouble between
manager and magnate. Almeida. 1t ap-
pears, was sold outright to the Montreal
club without Tinker's sanction. Tinker.
it is shown, might have made deal with
Montreal by which he could have secured
in exchange for the Cuban either Out
fielder Gilhooley or Catcher Burns.
Egan, also a good player, who would
be star in the minors, and for whom u
beneficial trade might be made with
club in either the American Association
or the International League, Is not to be
used for that purpose SO the story goes
The Cincinnati cub everything Tinker
has obtained waivers on Egan from all
to sell his release to an American League
clul,-not the New YOrkS, who have no
place for this player.
Tinker, in need of new material, be-
lieves he could trade Sheckard. Suggs
and Bates to class IA clubs for several
promising men. But it is understood
that the trio are in the market for cash.
When Tinker took hold of the Reds last
winter it was understood that he would
have absolute control. The poor success
of the team, however, has resulted in
heavy financial losses. which probably &C
counts for the present policy. Tinker has
worked faithfully all season in spite OF
weak pitching corps. the serious illness
of his wife and the Gripping OF RUDE
Benton.
In the opinion of practical men identi-
fed with organized ball the cash be-
tween Tinker and Hermann is unrof-
tunate. incidentally the belief is preva-
lent that the Reds will have another
manager next year.
