 Harvard university may furnish Jess Willard's next opponent and John l.. Sullivan, the champion of champions, may be his tutor. o. G.. Kirkpatrick, Harvard's strong man in 1914, star football player and heavy weight boxing champion of the uni- versity, is considering an offer from Sullivan to turn professional.
 Kirkpatrick made a trip to Sulli- vans home at Abingdon, where the former champion proposed that Kirk patrick put himself under his man. agement for from three to five months after which the old gladiator thinks the collegian will be ready to give battle to Frank Moran. With Moran disposed of, Willard would be challenged. Sullivan believes that Willard has but one or two good fights left in him, and that Kirkpa- trick could handle him when the time came.

New York, July 2o.-The Yankees had their daily casualty yesterday. This time it was Hughie High who was hurt in action. He sprained his ankle running in for a fly, and will be out of the game for weeks. This further cripples the fighting Tanks, for High was just getting into hit ting fury. This makes seven of the first line troops of General Donovan who have been taken in charge by the hospital corps But the Yankees still retain the lead, and the Dono- van countenance still retains the smile

 Bucks Services.
 New York, July 2o.-The bidding for Buck Herzog preferred in the Baseball Exchange took on fever ishly bearish complexion yesterday, with magnates from three cities run ming up the price to fabulous sums. The shrewdest baseball fnanciers still maintain that this valuable piece of property will go to Harry Hampstead, president of the New York National league
 In the meantime August Hermann the well known Cincinnati financier, seems to have gobbled up tWo-year lease on the valuable Mathewson property and in addition has secured an option upon the promising Rousch ana Mcketchnie properties.
 The only possible hitch in this deal Will come over the terms of the lease of Matty. Hermann wants a control ling interest, and for an indefinite period, while Financier Hampstead is holding out for a clause which will give him the option of buying back the property at the end of two years.'
 Chicago, July 20-President Hemp stead of the Giants arrived here yes terday to press his claims for Buck Herzog. As soon as he arrived Pres 1dent Weeghman of the Cubs lapsed into a calmlike silence and by infer ence indicated that he was standing pat on the offer he made yesterday for Herzog.
 The report that President Hemp stead had begun to run up the first bid elcited no response from Weegh- man. Report was current through the markets that Hampstead after consultation with McGraw had in creased the offer for Herzog up to some fabulous sum. The more ex- citedly the rumors flew the more nat ural was Weeghman's limitation of the mute clam. He finally declared that he was expecting T decision from Cincinnati today.

Is He Back? Is He Back!

They were first wondering whether old John Peter Wagner could stand up this season and last out week or two.
 Then they began to wonder whether he could bat as high as .25O.
 By June they were debating as to whether or not he could bat 300 for one more year.
 And now they are wondering whether or not the grand Old Fossil is going to lead the league.
 For Wagner now is tied with Jake Daubert in second place, attached to a mark of 1885. He is 20 points back of Dave Robertson and Dave is a woody wolf but any man. who at 42 can climb to 1885 can do about any thing he cares to do. We esteem young Dave very highly as a regular fellow and an athlete. But if the issue gets down to Robertson vs Wagner we hope Dave finishes sec- ond.

 What chance is there,'' asks a Boston fan, for this eminent city to be represented in the next world series?"
 An exceedingly healthy one, we should say. On the one wing or paw there are the Red Sox. On the other paw or wing, there are the Braves, There is the chance of course that both may win. There is an even bet ter chance that one or the other will arrive.
 The Braves just at present have only two clubs to grapple with. The Red Sox have at least five rivals Therefore the Braves have better chance than the Red Sox.
 The Red Sox, plus Iris Speaker this season, would have the American league race already packed away. But even without Speaker that pitch ing staff makes the club a stout and robust contender.
 With two such clubs around there is a very striking possibility that Bos- ton will horn into the world series melee one way or another; or by one league or another

The Tanks have proved again that a stout defense in baseball is more to be chosen than heavy attack. With most of their good hitters crip- pied or in a bad slump they have managed to hold the lead in the best race the American league has ever known. And the star feature of their play has been great pitching backed up by capable support. It is harder to beat good pitching and good de- fensive work than it is to overthrow a ragged attack attached to only fair defensive play. The two clubs that have been winning most con- sistently of late in the American league jarnboree are the two strongest defensive clubs in the circu1t-NeW York and Boston. The 300 and 400 hitters are not to be scorned and despsed. but they do not compose the entire game by several steady fathons.
