SAYS DARK HORSE
SHOULD WIN FLAG
IN THIS CIRCUIT

CLEVELAND, July 12.-Its all over
now but the shouting. The Cleveland
Indians are going to win the Ameri-
can League pennant Nick Altrock
says so, and when he made this state
ment he was serious. sober, and very
much in earnest. Said Nick:
"I can't see the White SoK or the
Boston Red Sox as pennant winners.
I'll venture q prediction that the
championship this season will be
landed by a dark horse, q club no.
body figured last April. It looks to
me as II Cleveland had about as good
a chance. and II was a betting man.
I'd lay a few kopeks on Fohl's club to
win"
Thus spoke Nick Altrock, who has a
lot OF baseball packed away in that
topknot OF his.
When Altrock is in a serious frame
Of mind and is- willing to talk base
ball. he can size up Q team or player
about as we'll as anyone in the bust
ness. His boost for the Indians is
sincere He thinks the Dunnmen
have q chance, and there Is no reason
why he should think otherwise. for
they certainly have.
1T all depends upon the pitching"
Altrock adds. '1f Foil can come
across with real pitching from now
on. my tip Is that the other clubs in
the American League had better
watch Cleveland"

JOHNSON SAYS RUTH
PAID FULL PENALTY
Red So1 Tried to Get Him Earlier,
But Lost Out.

CHICAGO, July 12.-President John
son OF the American League has come
TO bat with an explanation OF his
action in the Babe Ruth case" The
American League chief has been crit
lcised by some writers relative to his
alleged leniency.
Ruth was suspended and fined for
his assault on Owens. the umpire"
said johnson. He did not receive
the full penalty because It was his
frst offense.
Several writer's have miSStatsd the
penalty. One stated that Ruth was
let out for seven days and another
writer took occasion to critieise the
league for its suspension Of Ruth for
two days for slugging an umpire
The facts are Ruth was suspended
for ten days and nned 500 for his
offense. The club tried to squeeze
out on q nine-day suspension, but
Ruth was out ten full days"

WILLARD TO FIGHT
WHEN SNOW APPEARS
Fulton and Morris Have Reason to
Cheer Up Now.

Jess willard hasn't the least inten-
ton of retiring just yet. He an
nounces that he will be ready to de-
fend his title against Fred Fulton or
Carl Morris after the close OF the
circus season In October. In q letter
to friends in Chicago, willard de-
clarss that he weighs $50, about
thirty pounds above his best fighting
weight.
1T is not true that I have refused
to box either Carl Morris or Rred
Fulton" willard's letter continues.
why should l bar those fellows II
the public wants me to meet either of
them? II IL true that DO not like
.aorris, but that doesn't mean that
he lie barred. With a little training I
can reduce to my best weight. I have
no notion of retiring"
wilIard's admission will be welcome
news to both Norris and Fulton. They
have harped on the idea that the big
Kansan would go on and on wearing
the heavyweight crown without CIV
ing any one q chance to knock II frim
his noble dome. Fulton and Morris
are right at the top OF their speed.
and willard seems TO be the only one
able to give them any sort OF an argu-
ment, mostly because of their great
size and weight
It was generally thought that VII
lard would retire without rlsking the
chance OF being defeated. His let
ter to Chicago, however, makes 1t Ger
tain that Jess still bankers for por'
ton of a smashing big championship
gate. Cheer up. Morris, and, Fulton,
likewise, cheer up!
