and batting well.
Bowden's best college work was done in
foot ball. The coaches and experts agree
that he never was valued properly by the
bulk of the fans and say he was one of
the most useful backfield men ever seen
in the south. 1t was his heady work
as a side partner of Bob McWharter
that made possible much of the brilliant
play by that great halfback
Since getting into professional ball
Bowden has been playing the outfield He
was not a star catcher or first baseman
even in college ball. but he could hit

became sensational in the extreme after
he joined the Macon club, averaging
close to the 400 mark. and his base run
ming has been excellent.
Bowden is a native Georgia boy. His
home is in McDonough.

when Cincinnati scored two runs on four
singles. Demaree, who succeeded Tes-

inning, but lost the game in the final

his job seriously. Rixey has failed to

Joined the team. He believes in re-

Rixey' should never have gone into

is not a chance for player to make
major league base ball a secondary
consideration and stand chance of
being successful.
John McGraw has failed to develop
a pitcher of class in the past few years,
and this failing is now endangering
his chances for the pennant. Mathew
son is the only one of the Giants
twirlers who is doing consistent work,
and, of course, he has reached that
stage of his career where he cannot be
worked very often. Tesreau does fairly
well. but Vanguard and Demaree seem
to have gone back. Had McGraw used
the two or three young pitchers he is
carrying during the early part of the
season he might have developed them,
so that he could depend on them to
appears to have experience enough to
put stop to the Giants present slump
France Chance deserves credit for
the stand he has taken in the case of
Ray Caldwell, the pitcher who violated
the training rules and was fined $500.
Chance makes it plain that under no
circumstances will he remit the fine,
and he is right in his stand. Players
who violate the training rules do not
deserve any consideration. especially
not when they become chronic Of

Howard Ehmke, the young pitcher
whom Griffith has claimed as the re-
suit of an agreement with the Los
Angeles club, which gives him the pick
of that team, is young man who in

IT seems rather strange that Cincin-
natl, a club which has for years been
trying to build up winning team,
should sell q player of Morans ability.
McGraw Is calling attention to the 1act
and, as said before, the impression is
being created that a special effort to
beat the Giants is being made by the
other clubs In the National League.
The continual winning of pennants by
McGraw is thought to be a detriment
to the game, because of his failure to
win in a world series, and change
is hoped for and encouraged by such
deals as the sale of Moran to Boston.
Two former National Leaguers are
leading their colleagues of the Amer
lean League in batting. according to
the latest figures. Mike Mitchell, with
while Hoblitzel has an average Of 1861.
1t is of course not to be expected that
other Of these players can Keep up
the present pace. for that is little
ahead of their norma! stride yet botn
are pretty sure to bat UP to their
best standard, which is somewhat
above the coveted mark.
of the best batters in the old National
League, has found the pitchers in the
American Association to his liking. and
he is leading the batters of that or
ganiZation, with an average OF 1856,
which indicates that the veteran has
not lost his batting eye. 1t is surpris-
ing that some major league club does
not pick up Titus just to hit in pinches,
at which he would be pretty sure to
shine.
Rumor has it that Jimmy Callahan
is serving his last term as manager of
the White SoX. Cal is to be promoted
to vice president of the club. and as
such will conduct it's affairs. Comiskey
will retain the title of president. but
will retire, while Kid Gleason is men
toned in connection with the man
agerial position. Callahan is blamed
for the poor showing of the SoN by
the Chicago fans. They have made sew
eral demonstrations on. the Chicago

the hint that he must make a. change,
but Callahan is not to suffer thereby.

WHY MAGNATES
ARE CHEERFUL

The race for the National
League pennant is the closest it
has been for several years. Only
100 points separate the Brooklyn
Superbas, in last place, from the
Braves and the Giants, who are
tied for first. The teams In the
first division are 50 well punched
that the pennant bee IL buzzing
in four cities. Less than 30
points is the margin between
Chicago, at the bottom of the con-
tending list, and the two leaders.
The St. Louis Cardinals, who are
one rung ahead of the Cubs, feel
that they are I'm just the right
spot to squirt to the top. In the
second division 1T is possible
for Brooklyn to pass Pittsburgh.
Philadelphia and Cincinnati in
two days time.
Thanks to the keenness of the
struggle, the majority Of the club
owners are renpinE a fairly good
financial harvest. despite the in

is no sameness about this Chautau-
Qua-each feature of the week will
be something new and distinct.
If you have your visitors during
the Chautauqua week you will not
have to plan any special occasions
for their enjoyment. Let the Chau-
tauQua entertain them, and in doing

the time of their lives, but you will
materially aid in making the Dawson
