As the result Of the city gradually

practically unbeatable All Stars on the

semi professionals in the western
part of the state and a team that has
nothing but Al players in their line

and expects to come here again Friday
when he will complete the arrange
ments with Hughes for a game on
Sunday, August /.
Manager Hughes stated Wednesday
night that he would have IN his line

aware Of the speed and the abality
of the HUMPHREYS. The game Hughes
says will be played at Savin Rock,
which is considered an excellent
diamond.
Besides the game with the Hum
phries Hughes expects to arrange
series with sTaftville, Putnam, Alta
waugan and other teams of a fast
nature.
Again this year John springs the
trip to Maine, which was a failure
last year but he has hopes Of taking
the trip this year and has letters
from various managers in that section
who are anxious to give him games

ALEXANDER ACCLAIMED AS
THE GREATEST PITCHER.
Has craved for This Eminence Ever
Since He Broke Into the Majors.


Grover Cleveland Alexander, after
years of unrequitted endeavor, win this
year attain the eminence he has
craved ever since he broke into the
professional baseball ranks. And that
is TO be acclaimed the greatest pitcher
In the game today.
Alexander has already earned that
honor, unreservedly. He leads the
pitchers of all the leagues in the total

seventeen games won and six games
lost Quite a record for this stage of

Aexanders claim to greatness is

he has won them II his record for
the 1915 season were to be dissected

found that Alex has been pitching

Up to June Alexander had won
eight games and lost five But since
June Alexander has won nine
straight games, with a heart-breaking
tie inserted. and it is upon this record

Alexander's streak was broken. when
the Cubs beat him 4 to o.

Both Teams are Hot Favorites for che
Flag Winners.

The. eyes of the baseball world are
onSthe Phillies and the Red Sox. Both
teams are hot favorites for the flags
In their leagues and at the present
moment look like the real goods. The
Phillies have been in the race all the
season, Pat Moran keeping his charges
around the top rung ever since the
opening of the race The Red Sox
got away to bad start and with
crippled pitching staff during the early
weeks looked like second division con-
tenders. The team struck its stride
and went to the top like cork The
two Chicago teams looked 1ik6 the

and today finds the Cub in second
place by more than two games and the
White Sox in third by nearly the same

the Phillies and Cubs and the one hat
ended yesterday between the Red Sox
and the White Sox, made baseball his

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAR STOCKS ACTIVE
Bethlehem Steel Made a New High
Price of 204-Westinghouse 11o.1-2

New York, July 21->-Al previous
performances for activity and strength
in war shares were surpassed by to-
days stock market, the movement in
never before witnessed. Bethlehem
Steel made the new high price Of 204
and Westinghouse at ITO 1-2 and
American Can at So 5-S eclipsed all
former records.
These shares, together with United
States Steel. which came within a
fraction of its best quotation of the
year, comprised fully go percent of the
days turnover. while obscure indus
trials and equipments contributed an
other 20 percent with gains of 2 to 4
points. The movement was at its
height in the final hour, when West
inghouse was in special demand on
ing from 1000 to 5000 shares. United
States Steel also was absorbed in
enormous blocks at the same time.
Dealings in railroad shares. includ-
ing former speculative faVorltes like
the Harrimans, Reading and Canadian
Pacific, were nominal at all times and
the pressure directed against these is
sues at intermittent periods pointed
plainly to liquidation, with a liberal
admixture of short selling. Low priced
railways were seldom quoted, Missouri
Pacific proving the exception at the
new low pTlC6 OF TO. 10 Idl sales
amounted to 1866 shares.
The interesting development Of the
foreign exchange market was the
weakness of francs on the steadier
tone of rates on London, a reversal of
recent conditions. Delay in consum-
mating the French credit was assum-
ed to be the cause of the lower rate
for Paris cables. The variable state
of the international money market was
reflected in a late recovery of rates on
Berlin and the Scandinavian countries.
Time money was Quotably unchang-
ed, but loans over the year were made
at a slight shading from the 8 per cent
ratio on high grade collateral. Com
mercial paper is being accepted more
freely, banks in the west responding
to the increased inquiry from mercan-
tile sources.
Additional proof of the improved
state of the steel industry was fur
nishod by the semi annual report of
the Republic Iron and Steel Company,
which showed substantial gains in net
earnings and surplus.
The bond market developed some ir-
regularity after an earlier undertone
of strength. Total sales, par value,
aggregated $1,730.0o

Many a motorist mas had his car

other reason
The fundamental principal which
should be remembered, is that the
wheels should be kept straight. When
the rear end of the car begins to slide

Once a skid is started, It Is impos-

slippery, the motorist should either
have chains on or a very good anti

are continually sprinkled, the motorist
should always have his rear wheels at

AGAINST BASEBALL POOLS

Favorite Sport.

Cincinnati, July 21.-The National
Baseball Commission took official cog
nizance today of the so-called nation
wide base ball pool which the post
Office department at Washington has
been Investigating, when Attorney
John e. Bruce, of Cincinnati, secretary
of the National Baseball Commission.
appeared as a witness in the case of
Edward Hardy Of this city, who is
charged with conspiracy and promo
ttion of lottery.
The hearing was before United
States Commissioner Joseph Adler,
who at its conclusion held Hardy to
the grand jury at Philadelphia, Pa,
In bonds of $1,000. Hardy gave bond
required for his appearance next Sep
city, where 1t was reported Adler stat
ed all the cases growing out of the
federal investigation of the alleged
baseball pool win be taken up.
Secretary Bruce in his testimony
spoke of the danger OF the so-called
pool to the sport Of baseball and. as
a representative OF the commission, re-
uuested that 1t be eliminated. Secre-
kary Bruce said:
Baseball will be the great national
sport only as long as It can be kept
clean. One OF the ways In which it
has always been kept clean is in the
prevention OF gambling. We have seen
pther sports degenerate because of
that evil. Racing, boxing, wrestling
and many others have lost ground
with the public because the gambling
connected with ethem became greater
than the sporta} themselves. The aim
of the leaders ef organized baseball
has been and Is today to keep as far
away from gambling as they can. They
have routed and eliminated it where
ever they found it. They even en-
ploy detectives in5some cities to watch
the crowds In the stands and to pre-
vent the making of bets. To permit
continuance OF this so-called baseball
pool would be against the best inter-
ests of baseball and as q representa-
tive of the national commission. can
honestly request that 1t be eliminated
PostofIice Inspector Frank Smith, of
Philadelphia, testified that the Week.
~ World and the slips alleged to be
a part OF the tpool, were printed at
Allentown, Pa He said that the
scheme hadsbeeneworled out by pro-
fessor of a rlarge university and per-
fected by expert mathematicians,
Smith%estimated that the returns Sc
cured by the Office at Allentown
amounted to about $4,000 a week. He
declared that the winning numbers
were arranged 50 that there would be
little opportunity for the holders of
the slips to win large amounts. Smith
stated that he had participated in the
arrests of several men at Allentown

CLUB OWNERS SHOULD
PREPARE FOR OFF. SEASONS
II Is Claimed That the Present Season
Is Worst, Financially, in Baseball
History.

Major and minor league club owners
are complaining Of poor attendance
and losses. The season Is called the
worst, financially. In the history Of
modern baseball. Six minor leagues
have exploded.
It seems baseball needed just what
1t is getting. The poor season should
teach the owners a lesson and cause
them to handle their affairs in a more
businesslike manner.
The majors are bound to have O.
hard time while the war with the
Federal leage lasts, but they should
be, like other business enterprises, pre-
pared for bad season now and then.
When a theatrical venture fails to
draw, the owners pour in more money,
make better show and get back their
coin. Leaders in other business pro-
jects do the same.
When ball club fails to draw the
invariable rule is tosweaken 1T further
by reducing expenses, which means
the public is given a poorer brand of
sport.
This season. in the face of depres-
zion in the business, the Chicago
White Sox and the Boston Red.Sox are
drawing within ten Der cent. of their
normal attendance sConiskey, Chicago
