New York. July Sin the tremen-
dous outpourfng of money for the
American Red Cross war fund sports
are doing their bit. Tennis players,
golf players athletes, and others are
doing their part for the great charity
in handsome style. Tennis and golf
here and there are add
ing thousands of dollars weekly to the
fund. This alone is reason enough
for the holding of athletic games
during wartime.
The college authorities should do
their utmost to restore football next
fall for this very reason. Dartmouth
college has already come out for the
sport, and to make it more Interesting
has set aside, for the period of the
war the rule against freshmen taking
part in varsity contests.
# the other colleges will follow
Dartmoutf,s lead, and do it quickly a

help in their hour of distress.

New York, July 5-When in the
course of human events it becomes
necessary for the Yankees to hand
the Washington Senators two games

The 1000 fans who saw the morn

with the statement that losing two
games to Washington is no way to
celebrate anything, let alone the

After looking over the New York
pitching staff on paper the conclusion
might be reached that four runs were
ample to win any ball game. but in
neither instance did this prove to be
the case.
New York should have won both
games irrespective of the work Of the
pitchers. The Yanks had nine men
left on the sacks in the first game and
eleven in the second, They are mar

AN EVEN SPLIT

Gene Mccain tried out his new skit
of knocking the umpire's watch out
of his hands yesterday but he didn't
get an encore. In fact, all he got
was the hit and run sign to get out
of the park. Mccain put, this act
in rehearsal to replace his old one
of jumping on the umpire's feet. This
used to go great in the old days at
Steeplechase Island. He jumped on
Red Held's gunboats one Sunday and

Mccain and Becker from the scene.

According to a statement given out
yesterday by Owner Collins of the
New Haven club the Eastern league
will finish the season, despite the fact
that Many Glass B leagues are falling
by the wayside. Collins says the East
ern never had any idea of shortening
the schedule.
He says Bridgeport, New London,
Portland and New Haven have drawn
well while Lawrence, Springfield,
Hartford and Worcester have played
to fair crowds. The fact that both
Springfield and Hartford have losing
clubs has hurt-the attendance in those
cities. The New Haven club has at
tracted the fans on the road and has
also pulled out the crowds on Satur-
days and holidays at home. Collins
claims he as made a small profit so
far this season and expects to wipe out
his last years losses before the cam
paign is over.
Milton Bier, who fought Young NC
Auliffe at the Casino in this city during
