GIANTS AND MA611MEN
 LEAD IN RUN MAKING
 DURING THREE MONTHS

New York July 27-Tnteresting insight relative to the work of the big league baseball clubs is furnisped by the figures compiled for the hrst half of the present pennant season. The datas while not official, is collect ed from the daily box scores and for the purpose of comparison is sufH- cient to show the strength and weak ness of the sixteen clubs composing the National and American league cir cults Eliminating the games won and lost, as shown in the daily stand ing of the leagues, the total. number of runs, hits, errors and left on bases are indicated for the first three months of the season and the result ant averages give a. clear idea of the reason for the respective standing of the teams.
 In the National Leayne, the New York Giants have scored 330 runs in 70 games, the average of hits being a. trif1e under two per run, while the error column show a percentage of about 1 3-4 per game. With the ex- ception of Cincinnati, the Giants have had fewer players left on base than any other club in the senior associa- tion The Chicago club, playing eight more games than New York. has scored but one more run. hits less and made fifty more errors, in ad- dition to having almost 100 more players left stranded on the bases.
 The St. Louis Cardinals figures in dicate that while winning close to 50 per cent. of their games they failed to score within fifty runs of the lead ers although credited with an equal number of hits. Next to Pittsburgh and, Boston the club is charged with the least errors in the league ranks, while but two other teams have fewer base runners left. Cincinatti scored runs at the rate of one for every 1.9S hits in addition to- averaging but 1.92 er- TOTS per game. In men left on bases the club has the best record in the league, the figures being 42s in 76 games.
 In the second division, PhiladeIphia scored SIP runs and 612 hits in 70 games, made 161 errors and had 47O players stranded. Brooklyn in an equal number of games made 625 hits, 284 runs, 123 errors and 462 players got on the paths to be left there The Pittsburgh record for 73 games is 237 runs, 558 hits, 104 er- TOTS and z91 base runners left, while Boston in an equal number of con- tests made 263 runs, 591 hits, 1o6 errors and had 5O3 players left be- ! tween first base and the home plate.
 The American League figures, which include the games in the same man ner as in the National organization records, furnished some surprising in~ formation. The worlds champion Philadelphia Athletics, while leading the league in number of runs and hits, have had more base runners left on the bags than any other club in the circuit except the Detroit Tigers.

Charles D. Courtney. coach of the Cornell crews for the last thirty years, whose contract still has two years to runs is about to sign contract for ten more years. at a greatly increased salary rate, according to reliable i'm formation received from Ithaca
 Courtney last year announced that in 1918, when his present contract ran out he would retire as coach, and would be connected with Cornell row ing only in an advisory capacity. The reason for his change of mind is said to be due almost entirely to the result oe the race on the Hudson last June. which as won by Csolunnbia
 It has been known for some time that Cornell had been looking with longing eyes on Jim Rice, coach of the Co1unbia crews.

SOUTHERN LEAGUE MAY QUIT

Dixie Managers Sore At Treatment Received From Magnates Tn
 Kraft Case

Fraternity that drafted players be waived through all the minors before they may be returned to their original club is the bitter pill for the South erners. The National Commission tried to save the association in the Kraft case. and late last winter sent out a bulletin that this request only included purchased players. That brought forth a big yell from Dave FTultz, who then made the commission back water, and held O. 5. to it's or iginal agr cement, which included drafted players as we'll as purchased players.
 Until the winter of 1s12-13, when the international League, American Association and Pacific Coast League were promoted to Glass A standing, the Southern enjoyed all the prfvt- leges of these leagues.
 There may be grand reorga11fza- rfonN next winter, when the Southern league may be put back to the level of the other big minor leagues, while the Western league, the only other Class A league, may be dropped to Glass B. or left to roam alone in it's present Class A rating.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES


 lssS-Frrankie Conley, one time prom ising contender for the baptamweight and featherweight crownss born in Ke- nosa, wis. Conley's real name Is Francesca Conte, and he is of Italian descent In his early battles in 1906 and 1907 he triumphed over Gene Nc Govern Chuck Larsen, Jack Nolan and other fairly tgood boys. and met his first defeat when he tackled Ad Wol- gast. Tn 1910 he fought his first long distance bout with Monte Atteli at Vernon, Cal, and won by knockout in the 42nd round. He then fought Owen Moran and Danny Webster, kolding his own against the Clever British lads. and defeated Joe Mandot at New orleans, After a draw with Abe Attell, the Italian challenged John- ny Coulon to do battle for the ban tarnweight championship. After 20 rounds at New Orleans, Coulon was declared the victor. That was the beginning of ConTey's downfall A little later he was defeated by Joe Cos ter, lost to Johnny Kilbane in 20 rounds at Vernon, and was knocked out by Joe Rivers in the 11th round. In 1912 Coulon gave Conley another chance. and again defeated him. Johnny Dundee and Jack White next knocked him out, and ended Conley's cham pionship aspirations.

 1S99-Gus Ruhlin knocked out George Lawlor in 9th round at Denver.
