EXPERTS PREDICT BANNER YEAR FOR
 GR|D|RON GAME
Early Closing of Leagues Will Be Boost for Foot
 ball, Say Scribes

Experts at the gridron. game are predicting the most successful foot ball season this year that we have ex- the fact that with baseball out of the way by the middle of September there will be no other sports of any conse- quence for the fan to feed upon.
 Heretofore the big leagues have run along until about the first of October and then staged a worlds series which lasted almost until the middle of the month and occupied the attention of the bugs for weeks afterward to the exclusion of the college game.
 While, of course, all mature men will be with the colors, most of the gridiron heroes of southern universi- ties are boys in their teens and are enot quite ripe for army duty, so it is be- lieved that formidable aggregations can be gotten together in every school One fact of great importance is that there is a unanimous conviction on the part of the United States, from educa- tional authorities to the heads of the army and navy, that athletic sports constitute the best tonic for military and business depression that can De found.
 The ''big three," composed of liar yard. Yale and Princeton who passed up football during the past year, may resume the old game this fall, accord ing to accounts in the Harvard Grim son and the Yale News. Several meet iyc n ntb1atin nffipialc rl these three institutions have been hels during the summer but thus far no definite plans have been made for put ting out regular teams.

Among fhe Bleacherites Fair Hits and Foul Chatter Garnered From the Natona
 Past:me

Yesterdays defeat of the Giants just of McGraw Although it is easily pos sible for the Gothamite to grab off ths National League bunting, nothing short of as miracle will turn the trick and very few miracles are happening these days.
 The two teams are six and half games apart now with about 30 more to play If the Cubs break even, which is fgur- ing them awfully conservatively, Me Graw's men will have to take 2 of the % to nose them out by four points. II Chicago wins IS of her remaining 5V contests, which is about her stride, the New Workers will be forced to take 70 while losing only live.
 Cincinnati is playing in New York to- day and the Cubs are taking on Brook lyn in the Dodger burg. Both pennant contenders have four games with these two teams and to say the least Mitchelrs gang have the softer assignment of the two.
 Boston should gain on the Indians dur ing the series with Detroit, for Lee Fohl will have to beat those Washington Sen ators, who have proven about as tough here lately as a 9-year-old fowl. Only 15 points separate these aggregations and judging from the past weeks play it'll be les sthan that before the season is over.
 Cleveland fans are wild over pennan. prospects and if F'ohl can oust the Red Sox he can have anything in the Ohio burg that he wants
 There seems to be a revival in the fight game since Dempsey's sudden ap- pearance in the calcium. The promoters are making all sorts of overtures to the California boy to get him hooked up with Champion Jess, but without avail. Dempsey says he is through with the ring game until after the war.
 Jack Dempsey's record of victories for the present year is as follows:
 Homer Smith, one round, at Racine, Wis, January 9.
 Carl Morris. six rounds. won on foul, at Buffalo. N. r., February 4.

NOKES OF DALLAS TOPPED SLUGGERS
 IN TEXAS LEAGUE
Waco Was Best Hitting Club, With Fort Worth and San Antonio Tied
 for Second

New York, August 5.--The first of the official 1918 baseball averages for completed season, albeit a curtailed one, have made their appearance with the issuance of the Texas League rec ords. The Waco team leads in team batting with an average of .253, four points better than the Fort Worth and San Antonia clubs, which are tied for second place with .245. Dallas holds first place in team fielding with .9e7 while Fort Worth is second with .s64.
 Nokes of Dallas is the leading bat ter of the league, having accumulated GA hits in 55 games, for an average of .3s3 Tollos of Shreveport comes next with 1924 and Sicking of San An tonic, Is actually third with sos. as Hiett, third man in the list, partici- pated in but 16 games. In individual fielding Schilebner of Dallas is the leading first baseman with an aver age of .9s4. Palmer, also of Dallas, heads the second basemen with .9TS. Buddy of Waco showed the way at third base 957, and Stow of Fort Worth heads the shortstops with .96s.
 Woodall of Fort Worth was the best fieldins catcher with an average ef .969. Among the pitchers a number fielded perfectly, Compere of Dallas having one putout and B assists in 21 games without misplay. Pitcher Ross of San Antonio allowed but LAO earned runs per game in sS innings. thus gaining the leadership among the boxmen.

Some of those magnates who have been nght" law will close the ball parks about September I should be showing gladness instead. The ruling of Secretary Baker actually should result in saving money for many of them.
 At least dozen clubs in the big leagues should save beyond s1O,oOo each because the season will close five weeks earlier than originally scheduled
 Let's look at the thing squarely:
 Six teams-the Braves, Dodgers, Pirates Phillies, Cardinals and Reds-are abso- lutely out of the National league bat ting now. There is no further interest in their activities as far as the first place honors are concerned. From now on until Labor Day they might have drawn fairly well. but after that date as has been the case in all other years intesest would have ceased almost en- tirely in the doings of "also rans."
 Ill the American league the Red Sox are so far in front now that it looks as if only the Indians have chance to overhaul them. And that's a slim chance It wouldn't be surprising if the Sox had the pennant sewed up tight by Septem- Der l. After that the other clubs would not attract much interest and the at tendance from that date until the close of the regularly scheduled season-had it been permitted to go on-would have been trifling.
 As everyone knows, who has followed baseball statistics, the .'out of the pen- naht race teams rarely draw more than a corporars guard through September, and the final week in October. Very often the attendance at a game which brings together two of the tail-enders has been less than 1000 paid admissions. Even on Saturdays and Sundays the crowds have been very slim. The aver age crowd that turned out in other years to see the ''also rans' perform from Labor Day until the windup hasn't aver aged 2500
 And it promised to be even smaller in this "off year" The best instance of the general slump in attendance was shown a few days ago when the Giants in the thick ef the pennant, mind you drew only about 20oo on their home grounds.
 If the New Yorkers-pennant possibil-
 ties-can draw only 2000 at home-tke best baseball city in America-in August, can you imagine what the attendance would have been through September at the "also rans'' games?

NEW CALOMEL IS
 WHOLLY DELIGHTFUL

Calotabs, the new harmless and nau- sealess calomel, may now be obtained at almost any good drug store. As a liver cleanser and system purifier the new Calotabs are even more effective than the old style calomel, yet there is not the slightest danger, nausea nor unpleasantness.
 One Calotab at bedtime, with a swal- low of water, that's all. Next morning you awake feeling fine, with a hearty appetite for breakfast. Eat what you please, fruits. acids or anything.
