PRACTICE ON TURF
NEEDED FOR LADS
NO.W|NNEW YORK

Jack Dudley, District Junior tennI,
champion, and Paul Conklin, boys
champion OF the District, are at For
est Hills, L l., to enter the two ma
tional championship events which
start Thursday.
The Washington nominations for
the only two titular events In the
tennis world this season, left Sun.
day and motored up to New York.
The lads will compete against the
best Junior and boy players in the
country. In the Junior event is no
less a parsonage than Chuck" Gar
land, the young Pittsburgh champion,
who caused such an upset in the
singles yesterday. Both Washington
boys are unfamiliar with play on
turf courts. They have confined
their activities entirely to clay court
play, and are expecting to get some
needed workouts on the turf at the
West Side Club.
The junior championship was won
by Harold Throckmorton last year.
His brother, George, is a strong con-
tender this year. Clifton Hird, the
young Californian, is not in compe-
tition being over the age limit as is
Harold Throckmorton.
Several members OF the Princeton
Tennis Club of this city went with
Dudley and Conkiin.

THREE WISE LADS
IN SERVICE WITH

The Wise boys, famous As athletes
at Business High School in the past
five years, have come to the front
with q vengeance in reporting &c
Uncle Sam for military service.
Ralph Wise, who was captain OF
the business baseball team. . men,
Der of the football, track and basket
ball teams for the past three years,
was the first to 60. He II now in the
naval reserve.
Buck" Wise, familiar to every
high school athlete and follower of
scholastic sports, as the best athlete
ever developed at Business, reported
day before yesterday at Princeton
University at the aviation school for
training. He took. his physical ex-
day.
George Wise, older brother, has
just passed his physical examinations
for the aviation service, and expects
to leave in ten days. George Wise
has been physical director OF the Cur
tbs Publishing Company recreation
work in Philadelphia
Ray Wise, also q great athlete

.PENNANT OUTFITS
HOLD SAME PLACE
FOR THIRD CLASH

CHICAGO. Aug. 21.-Stationed pre-
cisely where they were when the
conflict began, the White sox and
Red Sox are scheduled today to open
the second days work on their col
lectIve task Of scaling the Ban john
son heights Grasping themselves
firmly by their boot straps and boost
ed by Urban Faber. the White Sox
hoisted themselves for a moment be-
yond immediate danger OF the red
hosed athletes, but the ascent was
CREASED, and the Westerners took the
slide with the usual dull thud at the
end.
Whether odds should now favor the
White Sox is a question, for The re-
mainder OF their hurting corps Is q
shalky structure. II Reb Russell is
right he is fully capable OF hauling
the red flag down. II he isn't he's a
great deal like the little girl with g
curl-he's horrid.
The same sentiment applies to joe
Benz. One Of this pair probably will
be called on, although Rowland has
two capable performers in Dave Dan
forth and Claude Williams Either
OF these lads in the well-known
right" shape can beat any ball club.
Jack Barry used his first line de-
lenses in his even break, and now
stands ready to heave his heaviest
forces into the breach. Babe Ruth or
Ernie Shore will get today's assign
ment, with suspicion pointing at
Shore. Ruth probably will be saved
for the final contest.
The resumption OF hitting by Ed
die Collins and Joe jackson forms one
Of the pleasure bringing sensations
for Chicago fans that followed yes
terday's first game. Jackson and
Collins, who have performed only
fairly well this year, hit and fielded
sensationally.

HORACE MILAN DISPLAYS
SAME OLD BUSH PLAYING

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 21.-Horace Milan

When young Milan. a brother OF
the veteran center fielder, first broke
in with the Washington club, II was
in St Louis, and every fan present
that day remembers It He pulled q
fine "benerV in stealing second base
when It was occupied.
Yesterday he was working with
ShAnks on a hit and run play. Shanks
raised a fly to Jacobson, and Milan
tore around the bases, falling for the
bluffs worked by Pratt and Lavan.

after eight innings, but on july Fl
Cicotte was beaten by the Red
sox 8 to 2, going only seven In

ELMER SMITH MAKES UP
GROUND IN Two GAMES

Elmer Smith seems to have made up
his mind to do some clouting in the
past week. He has been tried out by
Lee Foil a number OF times. but seemed
unable to come through with any de-
gree Of consistency.
But Elmer got three out of three yes
terday. and three out Of four the day
before. and II be keeps this pace there
is every indication that he will become
a regular.
Grif sent Smith hack 10 the Indians
early in June. He has been tried out
as a pinch hitter fourteen times, and
has delivered four times. Smith has
taken part in sixteen full games for the
indians since his return. and has made
an average Of .3S6. His grand average
since returning TO the Foil fold Is -3S3
during which time he has accumulated
three circuit clouts.

CLEVELAND PLAYERS SAY
RED SOX WILL COLLAPSE

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 21.-Ac-
cording to members Of the Cleveland
American League club the Red Sox
are in q state bordering on collapse.
The pennant, they believe, cannot go
to Boston this year, and they predict
a complete reversal of form by the
champions.
One member of the Indians put 1t
like this: THE Red SoH are failing to
take advantage OF things they would
have turned to their credit q year
ago. The club Is not hitting and the
fielding is getting ragged. In addi-
ton Ruth is the only consistently ef-
fective pitcher.
Some folks are inclined to lay a
great deal OF stress on George Fos-
ter's one-hit game against us recent
ly, but the fact OF the matter Is, We
have beaten him badly. Every ball
hit was driven hard. but always d.
rectly at some fielder. Fosters pitch
ing will not give the Red SoX much
help, regardless of what you hear.
whether the trouble is due to
squabbles on the club can't say, but
predict and so does every other
member of this club that the Red Sox
will fade away before the season is
over"
The Cleveland ball player may be
right. bat he is taking a long shot
to predict the collapse OF the Red
Sox. Things just as startling have
happened, but they are rare occa-
sions. The Red SoX are good enough
to be in the tight all the way.
With the pitching stan that graces
the payroll in Boston the Indians
would have a pennant possibility
without any argument. And, II the
White SoX and Red SoX were to
switch pitching STATS the Red Sox
would undoubtedly glide toward the
bottom.

ruled that baseball clubs obtaining
players in the coming baseball draft

By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

The Giants, practically assured Of
the National League pennant, will
play either the Boston Red Sox OF
the Chicago White Sox. for the
worlds championship Of 1917. No
other American League club has a
chance at the final honors.
If the past means anything, the
betting will generally be even. New
York fans will back the Giants, and
they will undoubtedly ask odds, if
the Red Sox win the American
League banner. But it is unlikely
that odds better than 10 TO 8 viii be
forthcoming.
If the Chicago White Sox win the
Johnsonian pennant, American
League fans will ask odds from Ma
tional League hackers. They may
get 5 to 4, but the greater amount
Of money banked on the outcome
of the series will be on even terms.
Battling the Red Sox, the Giants
WIN NC OppO5Cu lar DCNLcE pANCn-
ing, day in and day out, than they
have seen in their own league. Leon
ard, Ruth, Shore, and Mays form .
most formidable quartet of mound ar
lists for a short series of seven
games. And they have been through
the mill before.
The Giants are about the hardest
hitting clan in the National League.
The Tigers have that position in thu
American League. So let's see what
the Red Sox pitchers have done
against the Tigers.
Ruth Has Won Three.
Babe Ruth has won three games
from Detroit and lost but one. Mays
has been victorious in each of three
starts against the Tigers. Shore has
lost all OF his four tussles with the
Tigers. Leonard has won but once an
four starts.
Ruth and Mays are the most ef-
fective against the Jungaleers o. all
the Red Sox twirlers, but Shore and
Leonard are sure to be used in the
big series, IL the Red Sox cop tho
pennant They have shown real class
in other series for the worlds title,

CONNIE MACK THINKS
WHITE SOX WILL WIN

CLEVELAND, Aug. 21.-"T think
the White Sox will win the pennant
this year." Connie Mack says. They
have the hitting and now their whole
trouble comes from their pitching stan
l think the pitchers will hold up to
the end. Thatll mean a Chicago
triumph. which ought to be good for
baseball as a whole"
Connie Mack seldom risks his repu-
tAtion picking possible pennant win
ners. This is the first time he has
done so in years.

If RED SOX WIN, THEY WILL CARRY
SLIGHT ODDS TO DEFEAT NEW YORK

He may be q BIT unsteady, too, wher
he faces q worlds series crowd
Zimmerman Is the best batsman OF
both .infields. but It Is doubtful II he
will come through the worlds series
with any more laurels than the vet
eran Larry Gardner. The Red Sox
third sacker has always done his best
work in the big series.
Scott Is q weak hitter, but q great
fielder. Fletcher surpasses him ut
bat, but not in the field.
jack Barry and Herzog are about
equal In every way.
OutfIeIders Can Hit.
Benny Kauff,. Dave Robertson. and
George Burns form a great hitting
trio, greater than the Bostonians.
Duffy Lewis, Boston's best hitting
outfielder. is under the 800 mark,
and Is passed by both Rauff and
Burns.
However, Harry Hooper has always
come to the front with timely drives
in the worlds series contests OF the
past and he may repeat
As to fielding, the Boston gardeners
should look better than their National
League enemies. For one thing. there
will be no bone stun" in the play Of
the Boston outfielders.S something that
cannot be said Of the Giants
Behind the hat Chester Thomas and
Forrest Cady are quite as good as Bill
Rariden and George Gibson, II not
slightly more effective
Up To the TwIrIers.
There Is 50 little difference between
the Giants and the Red Sox on paper,
that much will hang on what the pitch
ers do. All season records count for
little in the worlds series. A man may.
20 through a campaign hitting for ~
and hang up a mark Of .S76 in the big
tilt On the other hand, the greatest
slugger Is Outlines easy for opposing
pitchers in the worlds series.
The great Honus Wagner fell down
badly in the blue ribbon event So
did Ty Cobb and iris Speaker.
Benny Kauff may be fooled badly. by
the American League pitching, while
some weaker hitting player may prove
a slugger.
The principal reason for the pos
sible odds on the Red Sox against the
Giants will como from knowledge
that the American League champions
will have had to fight at top speed
to the very end Of the campaign and
that, in the past. the Red Sox have
always played just little better Than
their opponents, no matter what
enemy they faced

and the Giants will hardly be Ia
millar with their styles.
Cincinnati has the best smuggling
outfit in the old league. though about
matched with the Giants in team hit
ting. Benton has won two games
from the Reds and lost none. Sallee
has won three out OF five, Schupp
one out of one, Tesreau one out of

three out Of four, and Anderson has

than either Hoblitzell or Gainor, but
