Applauds Whitman's
Rebuke To Darcy

The Australian newspapers, CON
cerned with war and ministerial
crises, did not devote much space
TO the rebuke Of Governor Whit
man to Les Darcy, in which the gov
ernor, after calling Darcy ,'slack-
or, I" refused TO permit him to fight
Jack Dillon. There was, however,
this bit in the sydney sun, which
followed the tclegraphic dcspat-
ehes, which probably indicates the
general attitude Of the Australian
public;
"a Soldiers Mothern writes to
appreciate "the manly action Of
Governor Whitman in preventing
Darcy from fighting in New York, .
and asks, HWhat would be the best
means to convey expressions of our
gratitude to the Governorf There
are thousands of soldiers mothers
in New South Wales who would like
to give him a cheer"

BLUE CROSS SHOW
TO ATTRACT COIN
FOR WAR PURPOSE

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 2O.-Eight-
cen clubs comprising all-breed, spe-
cialty and toy dog clubs have affli-
sted with the Associated Kennel
Clubs OF Philadelphia for the pur-
pose OF holding a monster show I'M
der American Kennel Club rules
early in October. the proceeds OF
OF the American Red Cross and Blue
Cross societies.
Although the committee having
charge OF the arrangements has not
yet decided whether to hold a one
or two days show, 1t Is more than
likely that two days will get the call,
as IL is the opinion OF some OF the
members OF the committee that IL will
be impossible for the judges to get
through with their task in one day,
as it is already conceded that a:
least 1000 dogs will be benched.
The Blue Cross Society. which at
present Is little known in this coun-
try, nevertheless has done noble work
in attending to the horses and dogs
which have been Injured during the
war. II may not be generally known

envy has been Of great value to the
allies the dogs have proved a Nalua-
BILE asset. When the dogs are in
jured they are rescued by members
Of the Blue Cross Society. who at
tend to their injuries.
Since the work Of the Blue Cross
Society has extended because so many
dogs have been shipped TO the front.
offices have been opened in New York
for the purpose OF soliciting funds
to further this useful and worthy
cause
With practically every club in this
city and its vicinity having thrown
in their lot with the movement, this
should result in bringing out more
local dogs at one show than ever Or.
fore i'm the history ~ the sport. As
IL is estimated that the eighteen clubs
which have become members com
prise the cream OF the fancy in this
section. the class Of dogs on exhibit
tiun should compare favurably with
the big Westminster show held every
year in New York.
Although ii was conceded that the
Kennel club Of Philadelphia had
reached the high water mark this
year in the number Of actual dogs
entered with an entry OF over 200.
these figures should be exceeded at
the coming charity exhibition.

FIFTY CENTS FOR
BIG LEAGUE GAME
IN BOSTON TODAY

BOSTON, Aug. 2O.-Today Boston
fans will be treated to 5O-cent ma jor
league baseball at Braves Field.
Two years ago the Braves hand,
some playing field was dedicated on
August 20 and in honor OF the ami
verssry a nat rate OF so cents will be
charged for admission to the park to-
day. The 25-cent bleachers will re-
main at the old price. Tut every other
seat will be nifty cents. This goes for
the boxes as well. The box seats
usually bring $3.50.
Today's experiment by the manage
ment OF the Braves Is the first ever
tried by a-majOr league club, and it
will be watched carefully all around
the National League.
Since the Braves fell out OF their
championship honors. Boston fans
have not supported them any too well.
This season bad weather in the
spring kept the crowds away. and
then the breakup OF the team served
to detrsct interest. especially when
the Red Sox were in the flag hunt In
the American League.
II will not be a surprise II the
Braves management concludes to con-
tinue this JO-cent admission charge, II
the experiment proves fortunate.

LET-HANDED PITCHER
ENJOYING ENIE YEAR

The left-handsd pitcher IS playing
leading role in the major league
races this season.
He Is enjoying as much prominenes
today as the right-hander. for the
part he has taken in keeping the
pennant contending teams in front
cannot be underestimate.
According to recent average
Schupp, Benton and Sallee. OF the
pace-maling Giants are credited with
thirty victories, which Is half OF the
total games won by the New York
Club to date.
Southpaws. as q rule, do not play
such conspicuous part in fattenlng
percentage, nor do they comprise half
OF a pitching staff. as in the case
q the New York club until Al De-
maree was secured from the Cubs.
Demaree, with Tesreau, Perritt. and
Anderson, has placed the righthand-
ers in the majority.
Babe Ruth, Leonard and Pennock,
OF the Red SoN, have played heavy
part in keeping Boston in the run
ming. This trio has won thirty odd
games as against twenty-five for
Shore, Mays and Foster, Boston's
righthanders.
Reb Russell is one OF the most VAL
liable pitchers on the White Sox staff.
ranking second only to Eddie Cicotts
