BOSTON BRAVES IN
SEASON SENSATION

The sensation of the baseball season
has been the rapid rise of the Boston
Nationals, who leaped into second
place yesterday. passing both Cubs and
Cardinals and resting peacefully next
to the Giants. Many experts predict
now that the Braves are the only fell
lows who have a possible chance of
beating New York out of the pennant.
On July Is Boston was in last place
in the race. having got away early in
the spring TO Il miserable start. On
July 10 the Boston boys climbed out
OF last place and their progress since
has been steady and persistent. II
they keep the same pace to the fin
ish, they might accomplish the won
derful feat of winning a pennant after
being in last place for more than the
first haN of the schedule.
The rise from the bottom TO the po-
eition next TO the top was accomplish
ed in exactly - days. In that timo
they won 81 and lost , games.

For some while Clark Griffith has
complained that he needed a few more
hits per day. Someone in the outfield
able to pound the ball with regularity
and precision was just what he want
ed. he said. And recently he gra bbed
Mike Mitchell from the Pirates. Mitch
ell has taken Clyde Milan's place in
the outer garden in a number of games
when Milan has been disabled. The
deal was one that greatly pleased both
Mitchell and Griffith. In the first place
they are old pals. having achieved
high esteem for one another when
Griffith was managing the Reds and
Mike was the sun gardener there. The
friendliness struck up at the time has
continued ever since. The two fami-
lies are continually together.
Griff was also pleased to get Mike
because he knew that he could depend
upon him to bring in the hits that he
had wanted. It's sad affair with
Mitchell if the close of n game hasn't
fattened mis- batting average. In spite
OF a long career he is still very active
in the field and sure for a hit or two
at bat. Mike has been dubbed a vet
eran by many. and some declare that
his usefulness hasn't much further to
run. The Old Fox at the head of the
Senators knows that there are many
more perfectly good bingles in Mitch

Scheduled to Meet in Eng

ROLLER SAYS POLE is BEST
Both GrappIers in Fine Fettle for To-
morrow's Contest-EVers Elk
poets to Make Showing.

William Demetral, one of the best
grapplers of the times, who will en-
deavor to wrest DR.. B: F. Rollers title
as American champion from him at
Exposition park tomorrow evening,
has arrived in Rock Island ready for
the match and displays letter which
he received from J. II. Herman, man.
ager of Stanislaus Zbyszko, the Polish
wrestler, to the effect that the match
which had been arranged for London
in September, between Demetral and
Zbyssko, would have to be postponed
until a later date owing to the Euro
pean war. If Demetral defeats Roller
tomorrow, and later meets and wins
over the big Pole, he will hold an I'M
disputed claim to the worlds heavy
weight wrestling championship, for
there is no doubling the fact that
Zbyszko now holds that title. Gotch
is the only man in the world who has
ever defeated the Pole, and he had an
easy time of it some years ago. Since
then, however, Zybszko has greatly
improved and the sporting world is
willing to concede that he is the great
est wrestler in the game since Gotch
retired. He has met and defeated all
great grapplers, including both Roller
and Demctral. Demetral however,
says that he believes he can throw
Zbyszko now, and he intends to go
after him if he defeats Roller tomor-
row.
Believes Zbyszko Best.
DR. Roller stated today that he is of
the opinion that no man in the world
can throw the Pole, not even Frank
Gotch, and he intimates that Gotch is
now actually afraid to come out and
meet Stanislaus.
Both Roller and Demetral are now
in fitting condition for their big match
here and each will enter the ring con-
fident of victory. The Greek demon
has fully recovered from the injuries
he received in the last match with the
doctor. and says that he was never in
better condition in all his life

fact that this match will be one of
the best this year.
