WHITE SOX WILL
PLAY FOR WORLD TITLE

is true. But go look up the dope and
see where We stand with the rest of
the field. r.
Never before in history has there
been such wonderful pitching as seen
in the American League this season.
II practically every other rival hadn't
almost as good a staff as myself my
team would now be wingfng away
out in front. l have a team of aver,
age hitting power and one possessed
Of plenty of speed. II is true that the
majority of the players lack season
ing. But the fact that they have kept
so very close to the leaders speaks
well for them, l think Take il from
me. the White Sox will improve where
Philadelphia and Washington cannot
hope to do so.
Il do not mean by this that we will
increase our squirt. We have won six
teen out of the last twenty games. Any
team that does that has to be lucky.
But this sensational sprint put US among
the leaders and We do not intend to toss
of the chance that has been opened to
US.
Il do not think my friend John. Nc
Graw Is going to overcome precedent for
a fourth consecutive pennant. He hasn't
the team he had a year ago. Shafer
and Herzos could not be replaced. Mac
has but one reliable pitcher. the Won
derful Mathewson, and he cannot win a
pennant single handed. To nv mind
O'Day has the best balanced team in
the National League. He has the best
catchers surely, and his pitching can
not be beaten. That Is why / think the
worlds series will be played in Chicago.
I'm not worrying about my end Of it."

TIGHT RACES FAIL
TO LURE ATTENDANCE
Too Much Winter Baseball and
Federal Attack Are Largely
Responsible.

Four OF the tightest races in baseball
history are netting the club owners In
as many leagues little. IL any. velvet
this season At least six clubs have a
chance to win the pennant in any OF
the four races. and seven are in the
running in all but the National, where
the Boston Braves seem to be doomed
TO fnish near the bottom.
But gold, silver, and sreenbacks are
not pouring into the capacious Golfers
pected with the teams battling on such
even terms.
There are several reasons. Too much
baseball talk during the winter months
is one. The raids by N6orai League
maSnates kept the columns of the pa
Ters we'll filed with timeIy news dur
ing the off months. but the fans soon
became tired of it. They also tired OF
reading about the fancy salaries offered
to players and the tales Of immense
profits made bv baseball moguls.
They began TO feel that baseball was
TOO much of a commercial proposition
after all: that there was no such thing
as a home club and that players and
owners considered more seriously the
financial than the playing end OF the
game.
when players jumped to the Feds, until
PLAYERS on their own teams did the
leaping act and weakened the home
clubs.
Look at the American League racs
Every club has chance except posi-
bly, the Yankees and Maps. ST. Paul is
the only American association club out
of the race. The Giants are going
strong in the National League with
the Cubs close on their heels. Bostons
chances alone seems to be hopeless.
Only twelve and one-half games seDa-
rate Chicago and ST. Louis, first and
last place clubs, in the Federal League
Just imagine the crowds that would
have jammed the parks with such close
races on last season. The attendance
figures. and they are mighty small.
show that the moguls are not coming
much money. Many of the clubs doubt
less are losers financially.

SAYS INTERNATIONAL
WILL FINISH SEASON
President Ed BarroWs Denies
That Teams in His Circuit
Contemplate Quitting.

Stories that the International League
is in serious financial difficulties were
denied yesterday by President Edward
G. Barrow. who asserted that no club in
his organization has anv idea OF quit
club will finish the season regardless
baseball horizon.
1t had been rumored that Jack Dunn,
owner Of the Baltimore Internationals,
is ready to quit the field on account of
the decrease in patronage in Baltimore.
due to the invasion of that city by the
Federal League. It also was rumored
that the Jersey City club was in diff
culties. and that its franchise would BE-
transferred to some other city. In re-
gard to these uncalled for runors. MI
Barrow made the following statement:
The International League is not in
trouble. but. on the contrary, every one
OF our clubs is we'll equipped fnan-
Cially, and will finish the season no
matter what happens. Our situation In
Baltimore Is better than II Is /. sew
eral towns of the Federal League. and
Mr. Dunn has assured me positively
that he has no thought OF quitting, bur
campaign, and. further. that he is NOT
in need of our financial help. At our
recent meeting in New York, the league
authorized Mr.. Dunn 20 dispose of his
high -salaried players. By doing this
Mr.. Dunn will necessarily weaken his
team. but at the same time our race
will take on a more open aspect.
The International League has a
sinking fund. from which we could helS
any OF our clubs that needed financial
aid, but no club has asked for help.
Also. the national commission has as
sured us that it stands ready to lend US
any financial assistance that We may
need. but we never have sought to avail
ourselves of this offer. and do not expect

SO far es Jersey CITY is concerned,
William S. Devery is the chief hacker OF
that club and. like Jack Dunn, has as
sured me that he is going through the

Jimmy Callahan Delighted at Re-
turn of Ed Walsh and Can
not See Defeat Ahead.

NEW YORK. July 13.-"Big Ed
Walsh is right again. This means
the White Sox will win the Ameri-
can League championship"
This was the boast made today by
Jimmy Callahan, who seldom does it
unless he feels he can make good.
The Callahanites are on for a double
header with the Yanks today. Walsh
will start one of the two battles.
I'VE will play the worlds series in
Chicago next fall" said Cal today.
Nobody can stop US now that Walsh
is right. Believe me. Ed ID as good
today as he ever was in his life. And
am not going to work him to death
l do not have to. l have a wonderful
pitching staf without him. With him
have the greatest pitchers that ever
worked for one manager.
II think by giving him plenty of
time between games that Walsh will
win pretty nearly every start from
now until the end Of the season. Ny
club has been called a weak hitting

Baltimore Federal Lacquer
Breaks Leg in Game With

Although Otto Knabe returned TO
Baltimore with his Federal Leaguers
with the large end of 5-to-3 score
in their game with the Andrews Pa
permen, they carried with them on a
stretcher their star lefthelder, Guy
.Zinn- who sustained a broken leg, and

thereof.

JACK DUNN SENDS MANY
STARS TO BIG LEAGUE

Dunn insisted that Connie take chance
along with the others. Mack accepted
the advice, put in the draft. and was
lucky enough to get a remarkable
catcher for the small sum of $3.50.
Jimmy Morgan. formerly third base
man but now a banker, was discovered
by Dunn. Morgan was then playing
with Georgetown University. After play
ing him in Providence a season Dunn
turned him over TO Detroit The player
soon tired of the game. however. and
went into the banking business.
Dunn just missed Eddie Collins. Bir
die Cree, and Jack Coombs by an eye
lash when they were mere kids. Collins
and Cree were playing in the Northern
New York League in 1906 and Dunn
tried to sign them, but was 4 day too
late. Coombs was at Colby College and
the Orioles owner was a little bit be-
hind someone else in that case.
Sam White, the great Princeton star,
who in one year defeated Yale at both
baseball and football, was signed by
Dunn. White actually signed, but de-
cided later that he would not play pro-
fessional ball.
Glancing back over the list of names
it can be seen that Dunn has contri-
buted much toward the making Of base
tall history that the casual follower of
the game knows today and forgets to-
morrow.
At one time it was the general i'm
preston that Dunn's team was merely
a farm for the Athletics, but certainly
his recent sales appear to contradict
such an idea. Dunn has played no fav-
orites in disposing of his stars. the
highest bidder getting the man In each
instance. Mack surely could have used
Ruth and Shore for he needs pitchers.
and if the Baltimore club is his farm.
Connie booted one when he let those
youngsters go to the Boston Americans.

so bad.
The Boston Braves continue to fool

they slaughtered the Cardinals.
The first victory in the Giants Cubs
series went to the champions. but
Hank O'Day's boys are expected to
come back strong.

In all this talk of all-star teams

Fournier (Frenchl, first base.
Morgan (English), second base.
Wagner Germany, shortstop.
Zimmerman (Dutch). third base.
Bodie (Italian), left field.
Thorpe Qndian), center field.
Walsh Qrish), right field.
