ball league will take place at meet
ing to be held in the offices Of the
Chicago, South Bend & Northern In

teams this year instead of five as in
1914. Preliminary reports from Mish-
awake are that the Rubber Res will
not return to the circuit again, thus
leaving the Singers. Ball Bands. Oil

in his reelection if he will consent to
take the position again.

We noticed in one of the Sunday
papers something about a fadeaway
curve and Immediately we began try
ing to figure where we had heard that
word before.
We are unable TO see why any
member of a Federal league team
would want TO hold out. Suppose he
was allowed to remain holdout
what would it get him?
It's certainly tough going for golf
ers these days according to the pa

story failed to say how they went

 the game That admission, however, isn't at all necessary, for one peek at Packey's rotund face and bulging neck is sufficient evidence of the fact. "Packey is young, and he hasn't been out of the game long enough to have gone back,' said a fight manager the other day. Besides that, he isn't the kind of boy who dissipates, so mat ter of a little less than two years of ring idleness isn't going to hurt him in the least.' That way of looking at the approaching battle is not shared by a great many followers of the game, for the general view taken is that the former stockyards miller will find that his absence from the ring has done damage. The purse is the largest ever offered for ten round contest in the history of the sport in this or any other country.

Building Up Interest.

All of which is inclined to increase interest in intersectional matches enormously. The East has rather taken it for granted heretofore that in such competition the West made a very logical runner-up; but that as a winner it's goose was cooked brown before the start was made.
 The showing that the West has made recently in the two most inn portant playing games is sure to stir the East up and to revive the droop- ing spirit of the West. The East can row understand that it is far from being the whole show, including the hard blue seats, the elephants, the pink lemonade and the peanuts. In the two-ring circus it has drawn the smaller ring for 1915-smaller by a number of rods. And the East can we'll be counted upon to rise and get started again.

The promoter is no philanthropist. Neither is he in the business for his health. He expects to take the amount of the purse and a substan- tial sum besides at the gate. He is obliged to deposit more than $30,OOO before the men step into the ring to insure his part of the contract and as a protection to the public the two men who are to reap the greatest financial benefit should be made to do their share of protection. If this were done it would be a bout worth going many miles to see; one of the greatest mills staged in years.

Johnston inscribed his name upon the classic national tennis singles championship most impress sively yesterday, using a forehand stroke that left no dispute as to his right to the title. The young play er who two seasons ago was hailed as the successor to Maurice E. Mo Loughlin, made good the prediction by the score of Is, 60, 7-5, 10-S, while thousands cheered the van quished Mclaughlin and the new holder of the highest honors of the American courts. It was a memor- able battle and an inspiring scene at the climax on the field of the West Side Tennis club. at Forest Hills, l.. l., when the two men fighting for sporting honor, and fighting with all that was in them, almost collapsed at the end and hoisted on the should CTS of their comrades with the cheers of the 1000 spectators ringing in their ears, were carried from the field

When Eackey Mcfarland and Mike Gibbons meet in New York ring on September il two of the most scientific boxers of modern times will face each other. What will be the outcome? Will the public, whose patronage makes such contests pos sible, witness a decisive victory or will these two masters of the art of self defense just trail along for ten rounds in a strategic fashion? Their ring records, and particularly their latter day exhibitions, caused the question to be asked. The contest should be the climax of their respective careers. The Packey Mcfarland of today re- gardless of all talk to the contrary, is not the sleek speed marvel of three or four years ago, and he admits that he is burdened with considera bly more avoirdupois than he carried a

For the Big Stuff.

With Europe eliminated as a com petitor for several years, sporting in- terest must be maintained with inter- sectional matches. Contrary to some opinions, such matches never breed ill-feeling. They are for the best i'm terests of the game, for they bring the two sections closer together.
 And the East can no longer figure now that the West is not to be re- sarded as the worthy rival in every way and along every line. Any sec ton which has such golfers as Bob Gardner, Chick Evans, Ned Sawyer, Jimmy Standish and others, with such tennis stars as Mclaughlin, Johnston, Griffin, Stratchan, Bundy, etc, is not to be figured as any lesser light. Especially when said section mas rambled on to glory in almost every competition staged.

How About Brooklyn?

How about Brooklyn" is now the favorite query in the land where the rampant Dodger makes his home.
 There isn't any answer Any citi- zen, expert or such, who can dope out the Dodgers is entitled to a star in his prophetic crown. The Dodgers are there when you figure they won't be and they are absent when you figure them at hand.
 Possessing such highly cratic qualities, they are now likely to play like a streak on the road because no one figures them as strong road club. Certainly, club that has stuck around the Crest as long as they have is not to be jeered and joshed out of the flag competition. Their ability at a critical, if not crucial moment, to ring in an old friend, to toss two harpoons into the leaders is testimony enough that they are not yet through.
 They are supposed to have been out of this race, far back of the giddy Jubilee. many weeks ago. But here september is slipping by and they are still around making noise which closely resembles the Tapping of a flag. And there you are.

There will be no decision rendered in the McFarland-G Gibbons bout at Brighton Beach, next Saturday. The Boxing commission, which was slated to hold its meeting yesterday, did not go into session, owing to the lack of business on it's schedule Those who had expected that the commits sion would decide to legaIize decisions in bouts in this state were disappolnt- ed when no session was held.
