OLER TO RETIRE.
Close of Season Will End Former
 Yale Mans Career

New York, July 2S.-The present track and field season will mark the passing of one more of Americas great athletic champions. Wesley Oler, who has competed for the New York Athletic club and Yale univer- sity during the last four years, is now preparing himself for the last com petition of his athletic career.
 Oler is pointing for the running high jump at the national champion ships at Newark, September 9, after which he will hang up his shoes and be seen no more on the field on which he has made his name a synonym for all that is clean and game in sport
 Oler, like his intercollegiate rit al, Alma Richards, is a real high jump CT. He sails over the bar in a po- sition that none can criticise. There's no "dive" about Wesley's jump, and he lands on his feet-feet first every time he jumps. Oler is per haps the only jumper since Mike Sweeney, the former worlds record holder, who has done better than 6 feet, inches, without using the "CalifOrnia dive"

HARDWARE CITY LEAGUE.
Pawnees and Annex Clash Tomorrow
 in Game to Break Tie.

Tomorrow promises to furnish some fireworks in the Hardware City league, when the triple tie now ex- isting between the Alpines, Pawnees and Annex will be broken. The sched- ule as arranged brings together the Pawnees and the Annex two of the best clubs in the league, and a battle royal should ensue. Both clubs ap- pear to be evenly matched and are travelling at top speed at present.
 Some trouble has been experienced in the past in getting the first game started on time due to the s1owness of the players to arrive at the park. It Is the wish of the public amuse- ments commission that the teams scheduled to start at 2 o'clock, should be on hand before that time, have their usual practice and be ready to start when the ump calls, 'Play Ball." The Alpines will meet the Rangers.

He was concerned in all four New York runs, and by as grand a de- fensiVe game as any shOrtstop has played in this country in many moons blocked off about eight Ohio runs. Prior to Herzog joining the Giants the locals had dropped their entire eight extra inning games on Hen Fabian's meadow, but Canteloupe Charles re- fused to let them lose yesterday. The gingered Marylander kept after his old team until he carried home the winning run for New York in the eleventh, the score being, Herzog, 4 ; Reds 8. The score:

HOW DYE DO, JUDGE.
Landis Disapproves of So Much Au-
 thority Invested in Umps.

Federal Judge Landis, who occu- pied the baseball spotlight because the Federal league suit to have or ganized baseball declared a trust was argued before him, believes that the umpires have too much authority. Judge Landis spoke recently at a banquet of the members of the Chi cago Association of Commerce on Baseball" During his remarks Judge Landis said:
 This one-man power stuff rifles me. If I had their power it would intox- icate me.
 "The players figure in the hotel dining rooms what they're going to do and then fall down when they get on the field. That thing which makes the game is lacking this year-pep and brain york;

MAY RECALL JAKE
New Britain Boy by Stellar Work Has Earned Right to Return to Major League.

New York, July 28.-Wad Killifer, the Giant who never wore a New York uniform, was yesterday re- leased to the Louisville club of the American asso citation. It was an- nounced that Killifers conversion into a Colonel was accomplished on a strictly cash basis, but it would cause no surprise if in few days or- ficial announcement were made of the acquisition by the Giants of Pitcher Middleton of Louisville.
 Killifer came to the Giants in the deal that brought Charley Herzog. It was expected that John McGraw would hold on to the elder brother of Catcher Bill of the Phillies, to take the place of Eddie Roush as utility outfielder and pinch hitter. Evidently McGraw is counting on George Kelly. or somebody else as first understudy to Burns Kauff and Robertson. Pos sibly Merwin Jacobson is due for re- call from Rochester.
 Jacobson has been playing a fine game in the field and has been hit ting better than 300 all season. He is about the only likely subject for recall among all the hands farmed out by McGraw last spring. Ralph denoted to Galveston while Chick Farrell, who went to Rochester, has gone to Utica.
