Schedule More Than Halt
Over and Bell Prevents
Sleep Wallop
OLD GAME STILL
PUBLIC'S GREATEST
BY GTORGE R. HOLMEs.

United Press STAFF Correspondent.
NEW YORK, July 29-Just when
the wiseaeres have the old game Of
baseball out on its feet, the bell
saves it,
Last year, with the advent of the
Feds, the war and kindred other
things calculated TO make the mag
mates feel like taking poison, the dope
sters had the pastime down for the
count Of nine Then came that his
tory-making squirt of the Braves and
the fans of eight National League
cities focked to the park 10 see the
Miracle Man and his miracles.
incidentally, the National League
wasn't nearly so hard hit in the pOck-
etbook last season as was n3ised
about, il all present reports are true.
This year with the schedule more
than half completed, two close races
are again serving as the bell that
prevents the sleep wallop. There
have been no closer races in either
league than those now Deng seen.
For instance. the Dodgers: When
the Dodgers-they are being called
Superbas mostly now-returned 70
their own playing plot along about
the first OF July trailing the league.
Col. Charley Holiday Ebbetts was
about to take the count. No crowds
In Flatbush, no enthusiasm, nothing
but empty seats in a mighty swell
oall park
Along came the Giants; they were
walloped Then the Braves; they
we're licked even worse. And then
the Cubs chesty by reason Of lead
ing tho league, blew in. When they
left, they left the whole series be-
hind them The Reds broke the win
ming streak by winning one game, but
the Superbas took it up again i'm
mediately. The Superhas were with
in two stretches and a grab at first
place The attendance was so great
II made up for the deficits earlier in
the season. If the Brooklyns con-
tinue to win half their games it's a
safe bet that Ebbets and the McKeev-
srs will make money on the season
There is 4 marked similarity In the
Chicago situation. The Sox and Cubs
there have been leading the league
and drawing good crowds.
In ST. Louis the Cards have beer
nosing around the first division all
summer and no loud howls have beer
heard from Schuyler Britton. Like
wise in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
In Boston the work of the Red So,
has kept interest alive in baseball
And so on.
And this in spite OF the fact thai
all the wise ones predicted the mos
disastrous season in a decade for
baseball. These continued savers oi
the game lead TO but one conclusion
II appears. and that is that the game
Is too great, too firmly entrenched in
the public interest 70 be put down fol
