The war for the Tribune cups and
medals started long before the Kaiser
,ook It upon himself TO stir up things
II Europe. The Tribune boys war is
International and so is the kaiser's.
there are Germans, Austrians, ltal-
ans. BelgianS, English. Freneh-in
ieet. every nation represented in the
struggle for the Tribune prizes.
There is this difference, however, in
,he TWO conflicts: One is waged with
Guns. ships and aeroplanes and the
other with baseball bats. There is lit
ne difference, though, in the spirit
sctuating the forces engaged. All are
fighting hard TO win.
About seventy games were played IN
the interpark series last week, and the
ysee is now about half finished. The
games thus far nave been very closely
contested and the championship Is a
long way from being settled in any
Of the four sections. There are tif-
ten teams that have so far failed TO
meet defeat. They are trailed closely
h sixteen teams that have lost only
one game. At the other end of the
ladder there are nine teams that have
not yet tasted victory.
Ir the northern section the Jasper
bvsl mines lead in the S5-pound and
li5-pound classes. The l30-pound
toem. however, slipped back during the
last week as the result Of the fine
showing Of the Reservoirs, who won
two victories over Bennett and Car
Evansville, respectively while Jasper
Oval WAS idle. Carmansville took the
lead in the l00-pound class by defeat
ing Riverside. 10th St. and Reservoir.
The standing in the western section
did not change during the week as far
as the leaders were concerned. The
Thomas jefferson boys kept on winning
ia the iOO-pound. l15-pound and 1870
pourd classes. In the S5-pound class
Yorkville is in the van, although it was
defeated by Thomas jefferson q week
ago Saturday. Yorkville made up the
lost ground by triumphing over the
East 18th st. team last Thursday.
IN the southern section the teams
are playing excellent ball, and four
teams in each class are contenders for
the championship. Hamilton Fish is
leading In the S5-pound class and Is
tied for the lead in the 1l5-pOund class
with Seward Park, and in the l30-pound
class with Columbus Park. Columbus
Park is showing the way in the 100
pound class, having won five games and
lost none.
The West 59th ST. boys top the list
in the western section in the 50
pound and 115 pound classes, jumping
from fourth place after defeating
Chelsea and De Witt. In the 100
pound class Chelsea holds sway with
four victories. Central Seth ST. leads
in the l30-pound class, having yet
10 suffer defeat.
A feature of the playing last week
was the remarkable showing made
BIZ H. Veith, Of the S5-pound team
Of John Jay Park, who entered base
balls hall Of fame by pitching no
hit game against the St. Gabriel nine.
Not a ST. Gabriel player reached first,
and Veith struck out nine batters.
The John Jay team backed up their
star twirler in faultless style by
playing an errorless game.
The Tribune prizes will be on eX-
hibition all next week at 3O2 west
47th st. The silver cups that have
been offered for team rewards, and
as many Of the gold, silver and
bronze medals as the show windows
can contain, will oe on display.

up to and including Thursday of last
week is as follows:
