MAMMOTH STADIUM FOR THE ARMY-NAvY FOOTBALL GAME

of the argument with the referee, for
Spears's foul ride was SO apparent
that everybody at the track expected
him to be disqualified. He wasn't,
though, and it will make the referees
work harder in the future. Ross had
the riders about tanned. Now they
are likely to get fresh again.

The semi-final heats for the Grand
Criterion, to be run Wednesday

Here are the heats. Go to it, boys:
FIRST HEAT

SECOND HEAT.

THIRD HEAT.
Goullet, Clark, Lawson.

Baseball Players Fraternity is hold
ing secret meetings, it is said, and is
seriously discussing a strike. That
would be water on the wheel of
the magnates, who would, no doubt,
take advantage of the present condi-
ton of baseball affairs. OF all times,
this is the worst time to make any
demands on the moguls in baseball.
Nearly every club owner in the big
leagues is losing money, and it is
surprising how the minor league own
ers are getting by at all. Strike talk
is silly talk just now, at least. The
fraternity's differences with the Ma
tional Commission should be settled
by arbitration and should be settled
amicably. President Fultz may say
what he will, but the National Com.
mission must win out if baseball is
to maintain its high standard.

The tennis situation is becoming
decidedly interesting. Mclaughlin
and Bundy, the national champions
in the doubles, had their own troubles
defeating Pell and Behr in the chal-
lenge round at Seabright Saturday.
| Still, after the play was over and
Mclaughlin and Bundy had won they
! looked much better to the experts
i than they did during the match and
when Pell and Behr were giving them
such a strenuous argument. AS a re-
suit of these matches the committee
in charge of the selection of the
American team is said to have def
initely decided TO rely on Mclaughlin
and Bundy in the doubles, williams
Mclaughlin and r. Norris williams
I'd. in the singles. Like Mclaughlin
and Bunday in the doubles, Williams
came through a winner in the singles
in the challenge round at Seabright
the latter match having been played
on Sunday r. l.. Murray, the dash
ing youngster, who is playing suct
brilliant tennis these days, is very
likely to be honored with the reserve
position on the Yankee team, and ht
may even be called into the fray. A,
to the outcome of the challenge rounC
of the Davis cup matches, the Ameri.
cans chances appear exceptionally
formidable.

It is more and more evident every
day that the ResoIute. Vanitie and
Defiance are very evenly matched
but in all the races so far sailed the
Resolute, we must say has displayed
the best qualifications, and it il
odds-on that she will be the yacht
chosen to defend the Americas cup
The challenger, of course, will b.
none other than Sir Thomas Upton,
Shamrock ~, which is now on he
way over the ocean. OF his lates
craft, Sir Thomas says he cannot Sc,
how she is going to be beaten, whicl
means that We will have to have {
better boat than ever to win. Ii
, the Resolute it Is believed we hav'
> the greatest defender ever built an,
, If Upton and his freakish craft cal
beat US. we will not bemoan our fate
, In the meantime we think that "
are going to win and we hope tina
; we will win, even IL Sir Thomas i
