NOTES OF THE GAME.

st. Louis, Mo, July 19.-With Grif-
fifth remaining in Chicago for a con-
ference with Boss johnson, Mcbride
served as manager today.
Tail end baseball is not very at
tractiye. Attendance today was un-
der 1000.
Lee Magee, secured from the Yam
KEGS in a trade for Cuban" Marsans.
is playing second, giving Pratt, who
is aiIing with Charley horse, a rest.
A double header is set for Sun
day and the Nationals will move back
to the home lot opening with the
Indians Tuesday.
Not one of the three hits of Walter
In the first was a solid smash. Sloan
pushed a slow grounder over second.
Sisler slipped a grounder to right,
which bounded a foot out of Judges
reach and Severeid's single was a
hopper which slipped away from
Leonard.
As usual Nick Altrock entertained
on the coaching lines. 'Whoa-boy,
did you see that one" called Nick to
the populace when johnson hit the
left field fence on the first bounce
with a double. in the third
In the five games with the Red Sox
the Browns failed to put down a
single sacrifice. In the first inning
today, Austin bunted for a sacricfie.
The fence in center field stopped
Sisters drive in the fourth. 1t was
a low. line smash and rapid fielding
by Milan held it to a triple.
When the Nationals won two out
of three here in May. they had Nor
gan on second, Crane at short, Elmer
Smith in left and Foster on third.
Menoskey. Leonard and Shanks are in
the lineup now.
Jimmy Austin risked a serious in
jury to get an infield single in the
fifth. On a bounder to Shanks Jimmy
took a head-first slide to the bag
while Johnson, running over with
Judges toss. put the spike on the
sawdust a step ahead Of Austin's
Uranium.
johnson drove a double with no one
on in the third. In the fifth and sew
enth Walt found one waiting to score,
but he couldn't come through.
Horrors-horrors-a safe bunt by
Bill Jacobson. weight 200. He tapped
one down the third base line and it
was such a surprise that Jake was
on first when Walt reached the ball.
Tomorrow's pitching picks-Shaw
and Davenport.

Browns Gain Early Lead,
To Beat Johnson, 4 to 2
LEONARD SLIGHT FAvORITE

New York, July 1s.-Benny
Leonard is a 5-to-s favorite over
Johnny Kilbane in their coming
battle next Wednesday night at
Shibe. Park.
I There has been no betting of
any size and in all probability
very little money will change
hands on the result.
Few expect a knockout. Both
champions are so clever they
shouldn't be the slightest DIFF
ficulty in travelling the six rounds.
Leonard's advantage of few
pounds in the weight will cut
little figure in the battle, for
speed Is what will bring home
the victory.

JAP TENNIS STAR
ON WAY TO AMERICA

New York, July 19.-Arrangements
for the national singles tournament
next month for the purpose of rails
ing funds to purchase an ambulance
for the Red Cross began today in
earnest. 1t was learned yesterday that
Ichiya Kumagae. the japanese cham
pion, is on his way to this country
and that he probably will be here
in time to compete in the matches.
Mr.. Kumagae had not been expected.
and his entry into the tournament
should do a lot to stimulate interest
in the event. Last year the Japan
ese player was rated sixth in the
ranking of this country. and it was
the first time that a foreigner had
received such an honor.

II there Is anything like the South
Atlantic Amateur Athletic Union in
this vicinity. II failed to put in ap-
pearance yesterday afternoon when
the six-and -one- e-half-mile race was
held from the Munsey Building TO
Cherrydale, Va. This race was
booked by the Virginians as an open
ing feature to the fair for the bene-
fit of the Firemen's Associa ton Of
that progressive little village.
Edwin Schmidt, carrying the colors
of the Cross Country Club Of Balti-
more. a regular amateur, showed the
way to field OF twelve starters over
the route into the Virginia hills.
The officials of the South Atlantic
Amateur Athletic Association used
the Il should worry attitude as to
the victor. as not one of this worthy
crowd put in an appearance.
OF course. Joe England. the handi-
capper for this division. did his lit
tie bit" by handing in the time handi-
caps, but he also made the race easy
going for Schmidt by ruling five run
ners ineligible. Bobby Williams, a
former South Atlantic champion, of
NhN NoaiOb team WAS CONF
PEELED to watch the race from one
OF the machines as the A. A. L..
would not accept his registration,
out at the same time they failed to
be at hand to witness whether VIII
uams was a starter
After a postponement of thirty-fiye
minutes the members of the Cherry
dale Firemen's A. A. got the bows
under
the athletes until they hit the trail
that leads through the Virginia foot
hills. Then experience proved the big
factor. Joe Geiger, who was picked
to land the honors, never toed the
starting mark as he got tangled up
somewhere between Washington and
Baltimore. As Joe put IL, he was on
the old B. and o.
With Geiger out of the runnInt-
Schmidt was compelled TO bear the
brumt OF the burden. but he hiked II
out like the veteran he Is and soo.i
overcame the majority of the field
Schmidt took the lead about a mile
from the finish.
The Cross Country champ hit a
pace that soon kicked of the balance
Of the runners and crossed the wire
in thirty-six minutes and twenty
seconds. By landing first place.
Schmidt grabbed OF top prize and put
across the lowest total for the cluu
prize.
The big surprise OF the race ano
the real feature was the showing Of
l.. II. Philips. of Thrifton, Va. Young
Philips was the only novice who toed
the mark and with but three minutes
and FIVE seconds handicap. he placed
in third position. Phillips did the
path-finding act for the runners until

Alexander, star of stars In the

spent his entire career as a big
Lacquer with the Phillies. He has
been star Of the first magnitude

Killifer, while not rated the

The draft next spring will take
