Washington Cricket Club, will stage
a club match this afternoon at 3
o'clock on the field directly south of

to presume that most Of the old mem
bers of the club now in Washington
will be on hand promptly to play
club match. This is preparatory
to the games that the locals will in
dulge in with Baltimore and Phila-
delphia, and the showing of the
players will enable Capt Cannon to
pick out his team for the intercity

PIPP AND CRAVATH
In VAN WITH CLOUTS

Wallopy Pipp. OF the Yankees. and
Gavvy Cravath. Of the Phillies, are
staging a pretty race for the title OF
home run king in the major leagues
this season Up to July / Cravath had
the lead on his American League rival,
having poled out seven homers,
against an even half dozen for Pipp,
but the season is Just half over, and
between now and the first Of October
the Yankee star has time aplenty TO
catch up.
There is little room for doubt that
Cravath and Pipp are destined to be
crowned as the home run kings Of
their respective leagues this season.
for both are so far ahead Of would
be kings Of the run homes that
they can scarcely be overhauled.
Pipp has an advantage over Cravath
because Of his youth and his speed.
He can circle the bases much faster
than Cravath, who often pulls UP at
third these days on hits that would
have been nomers for him in the hey
day Of his career when his legs were
nimble.

CHAPPY PULLS ONE
ON TOMMY CONNOLLY

During one OF the recent games be-
tween the Yankees and Indians at
Cleveland Ray Chapman put one over
on Umpire Connolly, and it must rank
as entirely novel in baseball. Chap,
man reached first on a pass and went
to second when Speaker hunted safely.
Then he asked Connolly to call time.
Tommy obliged. thinking the player
had been injured. Chapman then ran
back to first base and held a con-
ference with Speaker.
Connolly was so dumfounded at this
strang performance that he made no
attempt to chase Chapman back,
though the rules do not allow a play
er to hold up the game in this way.
After the game Connolly admitted
that he had been the victim of an
unfair request and said he would not
have permitted it had he known why
Chapman asked for time. 1t was a
new one on Bill Donovan after he
had spent more than twenty years in
the game.

WHAT MAN SHOULD HAVE AT 81

Jack Lait says in the American
Magazine:
AT thirty-five a citizen should
have wife and children; he should
have a permanent trade, business or

he should have money in bank and a
commensurate endowment policy
half paid off; he should be through

cheap to buy.
