PREDICT
THRILLING FINISH
Believe Wind-Up in Interna-
ti0nal Will Be Closest
in Years.
Special to the Evening Star.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Aug. 4.-That
the International League race is
bound to resolve itself into a fierce
scuffie during the last few weeks of
the campaign is the unanimous
opinion of Tiger players. 1t is said
here on good authority that Joseph
Lannin, of the Red Sox, is already
making plans to strengthen his Provi-
dence Grays and give them just that
extra speed to make the squirt.
Rochester is fighting with such vim
and spirit that CAMEL is almost on
top with team that is not really of
championship calibre. Buffalo is a
bit inconsistent, but still full of fight
1t Is predicted that the finish will be
one of the closest in the history of
the league and that the winner will
have mark lower than 800, which
is most unusual for a pennant-holder.
Toronto and Newark are little more
than 100 points behind the leaders,
and to get on top they would have to
make a sensational sprint, but there
is still a chance of them getting into
the fight. Only forty points separate
the first four teams, while three of
the second division teams are closely
punched.
That waivers have been asked on
a couple of Boston Red Sox players
who will help the Grays is the report
here.
Eddie Zimmerman, who always
finds a road trip fine tonic for bat
ting averages, We'd with Mike Heck
niger in drolling out long hits. Each
had a triple and a single
Tooley nabbed two bases and
cracked out a pair of hits.
Old Wyatt Lee does not trim the
Hustlers often, but he showed them
something yesterday. Six scattered
hits was the best the enemy could
do against the portsider.
Al Mattern or Sherod Smith will
pitch today's game If the rain does
not interfere.
Ed Zimmerman set the pace in the
runmaking line. The Tiger captain
topped off his days work with three
tallies.
Callahan, Kraft and Getz, the
heavy artillery, failed to register
safety in their fourteen official times
at bat.
Chef Hoff, the Hustler southpaw,
has never been effective against the
Tigers. He dipped his colors in the
sixth, when Walsh was sent up TO hit
for him.
Had the Tigers been a little bit more
lively on the bases in the first inning
and one or two succeeding rounds the
score should have been even more lop-
sided.
Newark is but half game behind
Toronto and coming fast for fifth
place again.

GRIFFITH PULLED A BONE"

Baseball fans and scribes of the
Pacific Coast League say that Clark

.RESOLUTE WINS ON
TIME ALLOWANCE
Herresh0ff Yacht Defeats Van
lite in Race from New Lon
don to Newport.

NEWPORT, Aug. 4.-Yachting ex-
perts are today all at sea over the
supremacy between the cup defence
yachts Resolute and Vanitie. The
Resolute had to make requisition
on her time allowance to win yester-
days race from New London to this
port. The Vanitie started last, twen-
ty-nine seconds astern Of the Reso-
Lutte, and she gained ten seconds, so
that at the finish she was nineteen
seconds astern. The course was forty
miles In length, and the Vanitie had
to ALLOW two minutes twenty-one Sec
onds, so that the Resolute won the
race by two minutes eleven seconds.
The races again demonstrated that
the two yachts are evenly matched
and that there is little more than the
time allowance between them.
The Resolute set the pace from the
start and at Race Rock was more
than two minutes ahead Later, with
the wind very light, the Vanitie be-
gan creeping up. but did not have
quite enough speed to catch the Her
reshoff yacht.
1t was the fifth time since the
yachts started racing that the Reso-
lutte was compelled to invoke her time
allowance in order to win.

Newark passed up a golden oppor-
tun1ty in the very first inning, when
Hoff got In bad by issuing passes to
Tooley and Witter The pair worked
a double steal with none out, but
there was no sacrifice fly from Billy
zimmerman. Bin just tapped to the
pitcher. Callahan was purposely
passed-a wise move-and it filed the
bases. Kraft forced Tooley at the
plate, and Getz was out on an easy
roller. Heckingef's fine throwing
blocked an attempt for a run in the
Rochester half because an attempted
double steal was broken up. A pass
and a single put Lee in a hole, and
Heck pulled Wyatt out. The can
nonading commenced in earnest when
Eddie Zimmerman bombarded a triple
to deep left centre-a rousing rap in
the second inning. Heckinger drilled
out a one-timer to left, and In came
Captain Zeb. Lee spoiled any more
nreworks by banging into a double
play, and SO single by Tooley was
wasted.

MILFORD A. A. NINE MAKING
MARK AS HITTING MACHINE

The members Of the Milford A. A,
Of this city. feel justly pround of the
record that they have established 50
far this season. In the eight games
that the club has played a wonderful
total Of one hundred and thirty-two
hits has been garnered. These hits
went for total Of forty-seven runs.
Much Of the credit for this record be-
longs to Third Baseman Hummells
who is always good for at least three
hits. In the game against St. Teresa
last Sunday Hummell pummeled the
ball to safe territory four times. Ac-
cording to Manager English. Hum
nell has been playing in this form
ever since the season opened, and i'm
proves as he goes along. Another
player of note in the Milford lineup
is Pitcher Towey, who twirled no
hit, no-run game against st. Teresa.
Although It was announced last
Sunday that the st. Teresa nine of
Summit, would meet the Maplewood
team at that place next Sunday, the
manager Of the Maplewood team
wishes to contradict this statement.
The Maplewoods have refused TO play
Sunday ball all season, and do not
intend to start now.
Andy Speary, the clever shortstop,
has left the Westinghouse nine and
jumped to Mendham. According to
the reports, Speary refuses to play
Saturday afternoons with the West
inghouse men and decided to quit
them altogether.

CHANGE PLANS FOR
AMATEUR TOURNEY
Play for Metropolitan Title at
EkwanOk Will Be at SO
Holes.

A change has been made in the con-
ditions governing the national anna
teur championship of the United
States for the tournament at
Ekwanok, VT, on August 81 to Sep
TENDER 5.
Instead of an eighteen-hole round
for all entrants on the first day and
another eighteen-hole circuit the
second day for the 81 best, with the
best 80 scores over the 36-hole circuit
qualifying, a far simpler method has
been adopted under the new method.
There will be 36-hole medal round
the first day, the 80 best scores be-
coming eligible for match play and
instead of the first match round being
at IL holes and the subsequent rounds
at SO, all of the match play will be
over the double route.
The winner of the title will receive
a golf medal and the club he repre-
sents will have possession of the
Havemeyer cup for one year. The
runner-up will receive a silver medal
and the Others who reach the semi
final round will be awarded bronze
medals. Foreigners visiting this
country may be invited by the asso-
citation to compete. Entries will close
on Monday. August "a, at o'clock.
