EVANS IS PICKED TO
Land GOLFING TITLE
Winner of Open Championship Ex-
pected to Win Honors in ANA
teur Tourney.

New York, Aug. l3.-Already the wise
acres are beginning to pick the winner OF
the amateur championship, which will be
held at the Merton Cricket Club. of Phila-
deIphia, first week in september. Advance
information points to most unusual
tournament this year. with the held OF
stars more evenly divided than they have
ever been before.
Last year, at Detroit, the experts pick
cd Ouimet, Travers or Evans as the win
ner, but not one of the three survived the
second round. With all matches at
thirty-six holes, luck seemed to have no
chance against skill. but the dope went
wrong somehow and not until Robert
Gardner had won the title did anyone
give him credit for the very fine golf
that he played throughout the tourna-
ment.
With Francis Ouimet out and Jerry
Travers playing indirrerently. only Chick
Evans to look to this season as the
likely favorite. II Chick ever intends to
win the amateur championship this Is
the logical time.
Evans has the open title and by annex
ing the amateur also he will be doing
something that only one man in the his
tory Of golf has ever accomplished be-
fore. The honor fell to John Ball of
England. about twenty years ago.
Ouimet had a chance in 1918 and Ira
Ners had a chance in 1915. Ouimet's mis-
take was that he failed to land the anna
teur first. Jerry, after landing the big
SCst fish at Baltusrol, went to Detroit
and. to the surprise Of every one. was ell
minated carly in the tournament
Year after year Evans has been picked
bv his admirers to break the spell of
in luck that has been hanging over him
in this tournament, and just as often
has he been doomed to disappointment.
II fate is ever to be kind to him IL could
choose no better opportunity than the
present time, when it would mean so
much. It will be the greatest test the

BROWNS In MAD RUSH
FOR TOP OF LADDER

New York. Aug. 13.-The st. Louis
Browns are making a mad rush for
the top OF the American League per-
centage column, and have established d
a seasons record of thirteen consecu-
tive victories.
One reason for the success of the
team is the fact that the men have
been camping out in the base ball park.
1t has been so unbearabIy hot in the
Mound City that the players could not
sleep for more than an hour or so in
a night. They complained, and Fielder
Jones conceived the idea of pitching
tents in the ball park and having the
boys get their rest there.
A little research into the baseball
life of Fielder Jones will reveal the
fact that his teams invariably put on
squirt toward the top during the
middle or latter part OF the season,
which usually consists of a prolonged
winning streak of anywhere from ten
to twenty straight victories
Last year, as manager OF the St.
Louis Federals, Jones led his boys on
a victorious road trip, putting togeth-
er thirteen consecutive victories.
which put the Terriers in the pennant
hunt. where they stayed the remain
der of the year, losing the flag by less
than a point.

DOPESTER PICKS THE
WESTERN BALL TEAMS

New York, Aug 13.-, mathmeatician
who spends his leisure time among the
labyrinth of baseball figures has come
forward with the startling statements
that he expects one of the Western clubs
of the National League to make a driving
finish and capture the 1915 pennant. In
support of this he points out that with
one exception. there has never been a
winning sectional stretch. of more than
five years. The ststistician presents the
following figures showing the victories
of Eastern and Western clus: 1878,
East; lSsO-S2. West; 1ss3-s4. East: 1851
West; 1Sss-lsoo, East; 1s01-03. West 1906,
East; 10s6-lO. West; 1s11-l5, East With
one exception. when the West won four
pennants ending in 1903. these figures
show that the Eastern and Western clubs
have won in groups of two, three and
five years
According to the figures of this same
statistician. the Eastern clubs have won
twenty five pennanats since 1876 and the
Western clubs fifteen. The grand aver
age Eastern pennant winning per cen
tages is .667. and that of the Western
clubs is .7S. The highest among the
Eastern clubs was made by Providence in
1884 with $50, and the lowest was made
last season when the Phillies won the
pennant with .592. Among the Western
clubs Chicago's average of .79S in 1890 is
high and Detroit's .637 in 1887 is low
The mathmatical expert is willing 10
concede that II a Western club does come
through with a winning streak it will
fall below the average of winning Wes-
tern clubs of the past

campaign mapped out for Frederick for
the chilly months.

claimants for the bantam-weight title,

got into the game simply because it

why should he fight? And so practically

claim to the honor of being chief chal-

Levinsky probably will have to take on
Frank Moran. Fred Fulton, Charles

have to give Dillon another chance.
The muddle in the welter and middle

claim to the middle weight crown but no

for him. he has a lot OF courage and
ability to take punishment which have
saved him from being knocked cold

permitted to meet negroes, which niea ms
