New York. Juno 11.--With tho 1917 s baseball season two months oIl, neither the National nor American league has shown x combinatio0 strong enough to hold first place a1d at the same time gain on its oppo. l1ents.
 The American league has had mors changes in first position than in Doy- oral years. and no team yet has da-. veioped sufficient staying power. to hold the lead after 1t has kain6d tt.

PROS. BEAT AMATEURS
for Travers and Kfrkby at wylagyl

for Travers and Kirkby at wykagyl in Sunday Golf Game. New York, June 11.-Gil Nichols of Great Neck and Alex Smith of
 Wykagyl proved too strong a com bination for Jerome Travers and Os-
 wald Kirkby in their special match yesterday at Wykagyl. The pros overwhelmed the amateurs by mar gin of s up and to play. It can
 hardly be said that there was any one players score that stood out. but counting the total strokes of the day Nichols had the best figures individ- ually and helped his side to win the most holes.
 Alex Smith played much better than in some time. He reminded the or- lockers of the time when Alex was . champion. He registered two rounds of 75. In the morning round his team returned best ball of 69. Gil had round of 73. This was just six strokes better than the amateurs could do and they retired to luncheon six down.
 The pros gained a great advantage on the first seven holes and 1t was case then of the amateurs hustlinE to keep the pros from making . run away match of it. Smith started out by winning the first two holes in three each. clipping a stroke off of par from each one. Gil then came to the front to do his bit and won the fifth and sixth.

HARTFORD WALLOPS LOCALS
Season of 1917. Most Disastrous for Moofehead's Team-Capdtol City Nine Toys With Crowe's Team.

Tn as poorly . played game of base ball as has ever displayed by . team representing the New Britain High school, the locals went down for the second time this season to Hartford High ct Walnut Hill park Saturday afternoon. When the crowd sighed with relief at the conclusion of the game the hgures of the official scorer read, Hartford g, New Britain 3. The one-sided score does not tell the superiority of the Capitol city team over Captain Crowe's proteges. Using Wolfe on the mound for the visitors was a wise move by the visit ing coach. for the little southpaw held the locals safe in his hand all the way, and backed up by brilliant sup port was in danger but once.
 For New Britain, Sullivan, Dunni- gan and O'Brien played consistently. but other than these players, the work of the home boys was very bad. The season which has been . disas- boys, came to . close with Saturdays game. New Haven won the cup for first place in the Triangular league with Hartford second.

First Stacker for
Denver Once Was a
League by Himself

Rupert Mills appearance at first
base Tor the Denver Bears recalls the
interesting story of that young mans
doing in the summer OF 1910.
He signed all iron-clad contract
with the Newark Feds during the 1915
season, and then the league blew up.
Mills thought things over during the
winter and advanced a claim that as
long as he had signed the league
would have to pay him, whether any
games were played or not. Pat Pow
ers, one OF the Newark Fed mag
mates, was afraid he would have to do
that little thing, when a brilliant idea
became lodged in his dome and he
said; Very well, if | have to pay
you, you will have to work for the
pay, SO report at the ball park every
morning and work out there every
day. If you don't work, you don't
get paid. Sec?" Mills did see. and
every day during that season he re-
ported, batted fungoes to himself, ran
bases with great abandon slid, hunted
and was the leader in every depart
nfnt of the game in the Mills league,
which consisted of one one-man team.
He got pail but had enough of that,
and in the latter part Of the season
signed with team in the bushes.
This year he is with Denver, and
should be conner, as he is young and
has ability.

Tough One tor JOHNSON,
Letting a ball club down with two
hits, yet losing the game. : To- !. Is
pretty tough and nobody knows il
better than Walter Johnson
When the Yankees met Washing
ton in their first series at the Polo
grounds. this spring, Johnson, as
usual, stepped to the mound to give
Washington the Jump by grabbing
the first game. Aud Walter had
everything he has had in past years
His pitching was superb, In the
meantime Russell was hurting some
mighty fine ball for Bill Donovan.
turning the Senator hittcrs back in
ming after inning,
1t was a pitchers battle, pure and
simple, and Johnson was getting tho
best OF it on the mound but luck was
against him. Two costly errors con
tributcd by the men behind Johnson
accounted in a large way for both
OF the Yankee runs and Walter had
to take his medicine. though he had
pitched wonderful game of ball
The pitcher who is capable OF SUI
fcring bitter disappOlntmCnlS OF thus
kind, yet who always comes back
with the same superb pitching surely
deserve a word OF credit.
