CAN'T down CAME
Baseball Has Many Reasons for
Being Popular Sport.
This Seasons Playing Has Fur
nished Many Thrills.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, July S.-R2Sebal is
popular for a good many reasons.
1t is sport without a peer, for one
thing, and it stands in class by itself,
because no other sport with the pos
sible exception of the English game
of cricket is anything like it.
1t is a sport for both players and
fans; it is full of thrills and above all
is wholly red blooded.
But one of the very biggest factors
which contributes to the popularity
of baseball is the uncertainty of the
game.
Every game of ball that is played
bristles with uncertainties. Every
season brings forth surprises, because
players and teams SO often do the un-
expected thing. The fan can never
be dead sure of anything in baseball,
and the same applies to the player
the manager or the team.
The timely hit, the untimely error,
the unexpected mental lapse OF
player, the ninth inning rally ana a
hundred and one other things winch
happen on the diamond mark the un,
certainty of baseball and put spice and
variety into the game.
A Season of Thrills.
The present season has been sea-
son of many thrills and many upsets
the original source of unusual inter-
est in baseball this year-a year OF
war-it can all be traced to the freak.
ish, uncertain nature of the king OF
pastimes. b.
you will find the pennant races some
what jumbled UP when compared 70
the advance dope" you had when the
season opened.
The Giants, true to predictions, are
proving a big factor in the National
League this year. But they are not
walking off with the pennant by n
long shot, and they will not be able to
breeze thru to a championship as
many predicted.
Look at the heroes OF 1914-the
Boston Braves. Last season they
figured strongly in the race for the
pennant, and they were touted as the
real stumbling block in the path OF
the Giants. But the Braves are away
down there wallowing around in the
second division. The champion Dodg-
ers were counted on for a better show
ing than they have made, and the
Cubs and Cardinals have furnished
big surprises by giving the foremost
pennant contenders a tough argument
A second glance at the Braves recalls
the fact that they have furnished two
Zig surprises in three years. sua
Both Sox Teams Strong.
In the American League the two
Sox teams are living up to preseason
predictions. But the rest of the en-
trants have succeeded in knocking
the props from under the dope pot
that was put on to boil as the curtain
went up.
The unexpected showing of both
seasoned and rookie pitchers; the bat
ting feats of unheralced sluggers and
the dismal work of others who Were
expected to shine ell go to show just
how little the baseball fan can depend
on the grand old dope as it is hashed
up on paper
Yeh, Steve, the ole game is popular
for good many reasons, but no one
predicted just what would happen
this year, and no one will ever be able
to do so.

KANSANS TO WACO
National Guards Will Be Trained in
Texas, Is Report

According to unofficial reports from
Washington, the Fourteenth army di-
MISUNDERSTANDING the national guard
troops of Kansas and Missouri-will
be trained at Waco, Tex. No official
confirmation of the report has been
received by Charles 1. Martin, briga-
der general.
For sometime it has been regarded
as probable that the Kansas and Mis-
souri, troops would be sent to one of
the southern training camps. The
Waco, Tex, camp is more accessible
and General Martin feels there is a
strong chance that the guardsmen
may be stationed at that point. I'm
der the orders of the federal govern
ment, the Kansas guard units will be
ordered to training camps August 5.
With the guard units from Missouri,
the Kansas troops will constitute the
Fourteenth division.
