before the time of putting them into

ing suspicion that the regulars" and
the Outlaws will even get together
before that time, and that the new

and the International League and the

Just as they are.

is true. but he couldn't afford to take

If the Feds there are still alive and
kicking next season. OF all the cities
in the Fed circuit, Baltimore is doing
the best business and Baltimore has
reached a stage where she must have
big league ball or nothing. She has
taken to the Feds so thoroughly that
she might not even relish a third big
league of the organization brand, so,
when it comes down to stern reality
Baltimore will have to be considered
from more than one angle.

Newark won another ball game
yesterday and Newark will win a
whole lot of ball games before the
season is over. Some pretty good
dopesters are figuring that Newark
will not finish worse than fourth and
maybe second.
Clark Griffith. manager of Wash
ington, is on the warpath against
cigarette smokers. He attributes the
teams failure to be higher up in the
American League race is due to the
fact that six of his players are in
yeterate cigarette inhalers. He de-
clares he win stop the practise or
know the reason why. Clark Grif-
fifth is right about cigarette smokers.
They are detriment to any BAH
club--to any sport. In the first place
the habit is very offensive to others
and injurious to themselves. The
time will come when in business as
well as in sports, the motto will be
'Cigarette smokers need not applyr'

Gardner Charges rs.orltIsm.


NEW YORK, July 31.-That the
American Cup Committee of the New
York Yacht Club was not seriously
considering the Vanitie as a defender
of Americas cup was the statement
made yesterday by William Gardner,
the designer of the yacht. Gardner s
remarks were plain and unvarnished
He declared he was disgusted with
what had been happening and that
he would not board the Vanitie
again, nor did he care what the Vani-
tie would or wouldn't do In the pre-
1lminary races.
4 have little interest in the Vani-
tle under the present management,
said Gardner II shall not sail on her
again unless conditions change. The
New York Yacht Club committee, in
my opinion, is ignoring the Vanitle

But baseball fans are not the only
ones. Some of the bike fans up at
the VeIodrome can hold their own in
any kind of company. They attack
the judges, the referee, the scorers
and the timers, and they hurl nasty
names at the riders and the manage
ment. Clever persons so far forget
themselves at times as to get right
up in the stand and shout derisively
when things do not go to suit them.
Well-bred and stately matrons have
been known to display their temper
in no uncertain terms because
favorite rider was beaten. In the
bleachers, where the lords of the
game hold sway, many rich and ripe
remarks float into the ears of the
riders as they pedal around the track.
The fan, you know, always feels as
long as he pays his quarter he is at
liberty to say what he likes. This is
so, in a way, but these very same
fans would not be able to stand a
tenth of the gaff they thrust at the
riders il the riders should happen to
turn on them and tell them in plain
