DETROIT, July 24.-The second
Grand Circuit meeting of the season
and the famous Blue Ribbon, with q
history OF thirty-three years in mem
bership with the big line, received its
first blow at the opening. when Police
Commissioner James couzens made
good his threat to stop all pool SELL
ing and mutuel betting.
At a conference with track officials
yesterday, he openly told them that
II there was any attempt to auction
pools or work the iron men," he
would seize the money and machines
and arrest persons in the ring. He
was taken at his word, and no at
tempt at open betting was made on
any OF the afternoons races.
President Achantz, of the local
Driving Club. announced that, IN
spite Of the prohibition on betting. the
entire program OF the week would be
raced OF. including the two turf
classics, the $4,000 II. & II. and
5000 B. of c.
While there was a splendid opening

taken out OF the sport by the absence
OF speculation, for the nrst time in

INDIANS UNABLE
TO WIN ANY EXTRA
INNING BATTLES

Lee Fohrs Cleveland Indians.
Griffmen, have won no extra inning
games this season. The record Of the
Tribe Is peculiar in that Fohl's lads
have been hooked up in but three
overtime contests. OF these they
gained a tie in that memorable six
teen inning game with the Grt1s on
their last trip here, and lost two bat
ties in overtime.
But the palm for winning extra in
ming games must be awarded to the
New York Yankees II the Yankees
could play extra inning games every
day, they would lead the league by a
wide margin. The Yankees have been
in fifteen extra inning battles this
season, have won eleven and lost but
two, and ended two others at q stand
of. The Yanks staged two thirteen,
one fifteen, and one seventeeu-innins
games and won them all. The seven
teen-inning affair was won from the
Brownies.
These Browns have been singularly
unfortunate in winning one and los
ing four extra inning games. one
was a tie at the end OF the eleventh.
The Athletics have won one and lost
three extra lunlHb games" 49, -
has won four, lost four, and tied
one Of these battles, while Boston
has won three, lost two, and tied two.
Chicago has broken even in the eX =
ira inning battles winning five and
losing five. The Griffmen present
the saddest record OF the lot. In nine
contests for extra innings Griffs lads
have won one-and that from the Red
sox-have lost seven and tied one
at sixteen innings with their present
opponents.

TWO WAYS DURING
JOURNEYS IN WEST

PHILADELPHIA. July 24.-Back
from their most successful Western
trip financially the club has enjoyed
since 1913, the Athletics blew into
town yesterday for a two-day loaf
before beginning operations against
the Detroit Tigers here tomorrow.
The Improvement shown by the
Macks and an increase of interest in
American League ball among the
Western fans brought big crowds to
the ball yards and the Athletics were
better paid for this tour than for the
last three years They also showed
better advance IN percentage build
ing, too, for out Of their fifteen games
they won eight, the hrst time they
have finished on the best side of the
500 mark for a Western trip in years.
They won three out OF four from the
White Sox. took two out of three from
the Browns. lost three out of 1--WE
with the Tigers, and two out Of three
TO Cleveland.
The comeback Of Elmer Myers,
and the showing of Joe Dugan were
the features OF the teams play which
delighted Mack. Dugsn Jumped in
and made good at shortstop when
witt was hurt, and 1t begins TO look
as II the former Holy Cross boy is
going TO hold that position. Ray
Bates, Mclnnis, and Bodie also hit ex-
ceptionAlly hard on the road and the
Macks look for a jump in standing
II the team can keep up its present
stride.
As soon a. the Macks reached town
there was q hustling around among
them to md their draft numbers. Joe
Bush will not be drawn in the irst
call, but Bates and Jameson were
picked early and are likely TO be
drawn. The rest OF the players are
still looking up their numbers.
