Challenges Thrown in
Brooklyn Diamond War

The baseball war In Brooklyn has
reached such an acute stage that the
rival champions have begun to huri
challenges and defis against one an
other. It was reported yesterday that
young Walter s. Ward. treasurer Of the
Tip Tops. sent his second to can upon
c. H. Ebbets.
The representative carried q deadly
weapon Of $4,000. which he offered to
pit against a kindred foil that the
Brooklyn Federals outdrew in paid at
tendance their rival in last Saturdays
double-header conflict Ward offered to
rest the argument on affidavits fur
nished by himself and President Ebbets.
Mr.. Ebbets assured Wards emisssry
that It was against the sound princi-
pies of organized baseball law for mag
mates to wager on any phase Of the
game. IN turn, however. the owner Of
the Dodgers challenged Ward to producs
his books before q representation or

BINGLES AND BUNTS

Early in the season, before hope

mered into a mottled pulp, it was
generally conceded in America that
Uncle Sam would have a fairly easy
time of it retaining the Davis Cup
and the tennis championship. Uncle
Sam may retain the Davis Cup, but
it will be through no Arcade of Pipe
dom nor over any highway of Easy
Stuff. In fact, it is by no means a
probability that Uncle Sam will re-
tain the cup at all unless his entries
are able to reach the finest heights

CALVO AND HOLLAND
MAKING GOOD; MAY YET
BE SEEN WITH GRIFFMEN
Tom Wilson, Gaestons Backstop Obtained by Grimen Does
Not Look to Be Hitter-Gedeon Playing Second and
Short for Los Angeles Coast Leaguers.
By LOUIS A.. BOUCHER.

At least two of Griff's farm
hands are making good with VEN
geance in the bushes. Indeed, they
are doing so well that there is an
excellent chance for their return to
the big league next season. Jacinto
del Calvo is setting the Northwest
ern League afre with his hitting
and fielding for Victoria, while
Harry Holland is playing stellar
game at third for the Atlanta
Crackers.
When Calvo was sent to the Coast,
he went to Los Angeles. The Cuban
was found to be too green to hang
on with Dillon's bunch and SO he
was sent to Victoria for experience.
There he is rapidly forging to the
front and is expected to be taken
back by Los Angeles before the
summer passes.

knowing his greenness. But he IS deliv-
ering the goods, and that means come
back to the big show before long. Calvo
is hitting for 1856 in Victoria, which is
good hitting anywhere
Harry Holland was playing -attling
game at short for the Atlanta Crackers
until Rivington Bisland was obtained by
Billy Smith from the Maps. He was
then shifted TO third base, where he per-
formed last year. Holland is now con-
sidere6 one of the best third sackers II
the Southern Association, and is well
nigh certain to receive another trial with
the Grinmen next spring. His speed is
remarkable, and, as he is not yet OF age
he has a long career ahead OF him II
is largely because Of his youthtulness
that Manager Griffith Is keeping string
attached to him
According to the official records
Tom Wilson, Galveston's catcher, Is
never going to set the big show aflrt
with his hitting. In five games from
July u to July is he got just two
hits both of them singles in one
game, off Nunsell. Of San Antonio. In
those five games he came to bat four
teen times making his batting aver
age Just .142. However. Wilson might
about then. Mike Kahoe is too
shrcwd a scout to pick up another
light hitter. The Griffmen have too
many CT them now.
Joe Gedeon, the California cata-
mount, Is playing second and short
for Los Angeles. Gedeon was sent to
Sacramento by Manager Griffith. but
that club shifted him to Los Angeles.
Joe is fielding like a house afire. hut
his hitting continues light as ever.

The Uprising of ]. Vaughan.
Jim Vaughn couldn't pitch twenty

year Chicago called him back. The
