dozen jumps. In the same to the
Giants goes the base running title
and to the Cubs the best all around

There's another award to make

finest staff the game has shown for
many year. -..
Lest season Galatians troupe had
three pitchers among the first four
in the a L. circuit. the three being
topped only by johnson.
This season the White Sox have dis
played the most effective pitching we
recall They have permitted on an
average fewer hits and fewer earned
runs than any staff within the last
ten years. So far their pitchers have
travelled twice through. nine rounds
without yielding q safe blow. On
three other occasions they have curb
ed the enemy with one pa1lid wallop.
Scott, Cicotte, Benz, and Russell have

LONDON. July 16-Boxlng experts here
show remarkable even division OF
opinion as to the chances of "Gunboat'
Smith. the American heavyweight, and
George Carpenter, the French heavy
weight champion. in their twenty-round
match to be fought at Olympia tomorrow
night. The betting odds today were per-
haps a shade in favor of the Frenchman,
but this was due probably to the en-
thusiasm of his countrymen, great num-
hers OF whom have crossed the English
channel to support their hero. They
brought with them a great deal of money
to back their compatriot whom they
describe as a fighting boxer" while they
call Smith n boxing fighter" and they
contend that science is bound to defeat

some places were said 10 be worse than

Bullish cables helped keep the wheat
market on the upgrade from the start.
