pointed out, however, that ultimately
the chase after Villa may lead the ex-

The governors Of the Aero Club OF
America, in the belief that 100 well
trained and we'll equipped aviators
would make the task of finding villa,
the Mexican bandit, an easy one, have
offered 70 defrsy the expense Of send
ing an officer from each state TO tho
Curtiss Aeroplane Company's school.
In some states, IL was explained,
there was no appropriation for such
purpose, and because the govern
ment has only eight lov-powered scout
ing aeroplanes for service in Mexico
the club governors acted yesterday.
The offer Of the Aero Club was sent
by wire last night to the twenty-seven
affiliated aero clubs and 70 the heads
of the national guard and naval militia
in the forty-eight states.
Six members Of the club, with aero
plane licenses. IL was said, would leave

American League In
 Better Shape To Take
 Care of Postponements

Every team in the American league is in better shape for a grue'ling fin- ish than National clubs, writes s. E.. McCarty in the Pittsburgh Leader. The American league policy has been to get their double headers off the boards as quickly as possible. Rain bumped the Johnsonians just as hard as it did the Nationals, but it seemed to be the idea of the older circuit to book their two-timers late in the year. As it looks now, the National league will run shy of their games played. while the American will get most of their postponements registered.
 Each team plays 154 games a sea- son. That makes a total of 1.232 games to be counted in the league. The fact that the double headers were booked early has made the American lea que race so close now, as, if the National policy would have been fol- lowed, there would be a lot more post ponements to play off. Looks like good business judgment to ay off the postponed games in the middle of the season as much as possible, as there are generally enough forced at the f1n- ish to make bargain days come pretty regularly.

JOHNSTON HOPES TO REGAIN
 TENNIS TITLE NEXT YEAR
Results This Season Mean Big Changes in
 Ranking of Players.

New York, Sept. With the pass ing of the national championship tour nament the lawn tennis season, as far as data for the ranking committee are concerned, may be said to be over. In consequence of the series of upsets which marked the titular event and the series of competitions leading thereto the ratings for 1916 will hardly resemble those for the previous year.
 The ranking for 1915 placed the first 10 as follows: William M. Johns ton, Richard Norris Williams, End, Maurice E. Mclaughlin, Karl H. Behr, Theodore R. fPell, Nathaniel w. Niles, Clarence J. Griffin, Watson M. Wash burn, George M. Church and Walter Merrill Hall. Hall and probably Niles will be among the missing in the 1916 first 10 and the rest will be shifted about.
 No. 1 will, of course, be Williams, the champion. Johnston is sure of his place at No. 2, but the problem of naming No. 3 will be a somewhat diffi- cult one. 40 our way of thinking, Robert Lindley Murray is entitled to the place, with Church fourth, Griffin fifth and Mclaughlin sixth-quite a fall for the once mighty Mac" Wash burn, Behr, Davis and Pell complete our 10.

GARDNER VS. JONES. FEATURE MATCH INj
 COLE TOURNAMENT

Philadelphia, Sept. 7.-Never before have so many golfers of national rep utation reached the third round of the national amateur golf championship as this year at the Merton Cricket club. This is due to the freak of the draw for the early rounds and because the stars have all played up to form.
 Today's match between Robert A. Gardner, the titleholder, and 19 year old R. T. Jones, Jr.,. of Atlanta, was one of the features of the tournament and many experts figure that the southern wonder has an even chance to win.
 Jones is the south's last hope as G.. A. Adair, the other Atlanta youth, was eliminated yesterday by D. c. Corkran of Baltimore.
 While the Gardner-Jones match took along the gallery, all the other matches promised to be hard fought. Such players as Jesse Guilford and Gardf- ner White, John Anderson and Chic Evans are paired and as all are on top Of their game one-sided contests were not expected.

JOHN CAMEL GEIS S7,8O0 YEARLY FOR
 JUST BEING IDLE.

The European war has made it's 1niIlbonaires. but the late baseball ,un- pleasantness. in which the Federal league figured, is responsible for some of the easiest money ever gained with out effort, writes Ed. Wray in the St Louis Post Dispatch. Picture to yourself veteran John Camel. now a gentleman of leisure, stepping up to the cashier Of the Ward estate and condescending to ac- cept $650 every two weeks for six months! Furthermore. he will contin- ue to accept it for three years!
 In return for this all John gives is . Thank you" and kind-faced smile.
 John was rushed into the breach to manage the Brooklyn Feds, when Lee NIagee was ditched. Ganzel didn't do much managing, if we except that he managed to get three-year- contract for s7S00.
 When Ward died and the Federal league dissolved, the estate of the wealthy baker decided to assume Cancels contract And hence John iS nbw parading easy street, protected from the cobble stones by non-skid pneumatics.

" COBB STEALS GAME BY DARING
 RUNNING ON BASES

Detroit, Sept. 7.-Tyrus Raymond Cobb practically stole the game from the St. Louis Browns here yesterday aftefnoon when the Tigers won in the tenth inning by to 3. Cobb matched his speed against the throwing arms of iLavan, Hartley, Marsons and Sisler, and as usual his rivals came out sec ond best.
 Cobb was first up in the tenth and hit a fast grounder to Lavan. The outfielder- raced down the base line like a frightened deer and beat the shortstop's throw to first. Then ton the first ball pitched to Veach he set sail for secqnd. Hartley's throw was low and Ty continued for third, beat ing Marsan's good peg to Austin by a scant margin .\l
 Veach slashed a grounder at Sis1er, who made fine pick up and forced Cobb to return to third. But as the former Michigan star moved over to tag out Veach, Cobb made a wild dash for the plate again, and once more he triumphed. for he was safe at the plate by an eyelash.

None the worse for their gruelling five set contest for the title the day before, Williams and Johnston were about town yesterday morning. They declared they could go right into another such contest and not mind 1t in the least. Each was disposed to praise the other fellows game and ortsmanship-and Johnston said he was coming back next year.
 Johnston was not discouraged over his defeat. Billy is not quite 22 years old and has many years of champion ship competition in him. His graceful style, which produces @ maximum of result with a minimum of effort, should make him a contender for the title for the next five years, anyway. For the next two or three years he should get better with every season. He means to work particularly on his backhand, which does not quite come up to the other features of his game.
 Williams, at "A, finds himself ma tional champion for second time, and with prospects of winning the title many times more. He is a deep student of tennis. always in condition and. like Johnston, should develop rather than go back within the next three years. Williams declared his service was largely responsible for his victory over Johnston.

ANNIVERSARIES
 } OF RING BATTLES

1892-James J. Corbett knocked out John L. Sullivan in 21st round at New Orleans. It has. been just "A years since the long reign of the great John Ll, came to an end, and in that period the heavyweight title has changed hands six times. Corbett lost the title to FitZsimmons at Carson City in 1897. Ruby Robert was defeated and depriv- ed of his honors by Jim Jeffries at Co., ney Island in 1899. Jeffries retired from the game in 1905 and handed the title over to Marvin Hart after the latter had licked Jack Root at Reno. In f906 Tommy Burns assumed the championship after whipping Hart in Los Angeles. Burns defended his title successfully against the best of the white heavyweights, but in 1908 lost the championship to Jack Johnson at Sydney. Johnson knocked out Jeff ries at Reno in 1910 and held on to the heavyweight honors until last year, when Jess Willard redeemed the fight ing reputation of the white race at Havana. Looking over this list of modern champs. most fans will agree that the greatest of them all was the bank clerk who whipped John L., "A years ago to-day. Corbett was the cleverest of them all-perhaps the cleverest big man who ever entered a ring.

WAR BRINGS AUTOS TO CROW INDIANS

The British are anxious to secure good horses for use in the present war. and they are buying large numbers from the Crow Indians.
 The Crows are the wealthiest of the northern Indian tribes and their horses are the best.
 The British are paying good prices to the tribe, each horse fetching $15o. It has become quite a craze to spend the money thus obtained in buying motor cars. Even the poorest Crow possesses from ten to twelve horses. At the first opportunity he sells these and buys a car.
 During the Boer war the British army purchased thousands of the In- dian ponies. The animals were light, but strong, and capable of great en- durance. With the money from their ponies. the Crows invested in thor oughbred stallions and mares. finally, possessing a remarkably fine strain
