THREATENS
TO STOP BIG TILT

BOSTON. Aug. 26.-Harry Frazee,
owner of the champion Red Sox,
threatens to break up all idea OF
staging a worlds series next week.
He says he will not abide by the de-
cision of Ban johnson to have the
first three games played in Chicago
and the others here.
''where does Ban johnson get that
stuff? asked Frazee today. "He
takes it upon himself to make all ar
rsngements without thought OF us
Well, we have something to say
about what's going to happen
while it has been the custom for
the contending club owners to toss
a coin TO decide upon the place OF
the opening of the SERIES" continued
Frazee. 81 do not mind waving thar
formality and playing the FIRST two
games in Chicago and then coming
to Boston for two games But 1 am
absolutely opposed to playing three
games in Chicago and then as Pres
ident Johnson says, play the re-
naming games, IL any, (whatever
that means) in Boston"

81 think the Cub players will be

"And I am sure that the rest OF the
money, or nearly all OF II, will be
spent for Liberty bonds on the next
issue.
al know that is where my check is
going. have talked to several of
the men. and they say they are going
to invest their money in bonds.
THE men are not trying to dodge
the work or fight order, for most of
them have plans made to go to work
as soon as the games finish. All the
players with whom 1 have talked not
only on the Chicago team, but on
others impress me as being too pa
triotic to attempt to ignore the order
set down by Secretary Baker, and /
am willing to wager that nine out Of

patton a week after the series closes

EGYPTIAN RACING
IS PROSPEROUS

Racing Is making great progress in
Egypt, says w. Allison in London
Sportsman. and the conditions there
are well suited by the totalisator. Al
comparatively recent Egyptian meet
ing $1,000 was cleared after all expenses
paid from the totalisator percentage
alone. But, OF course, the conditions
differ widely from those in this country
(England).
The Khedive. as l some time ago
wrote. has taken to racing and l may
add that in my small way, have been
the means OF shipping no fewer than
last winter, and ! have eleven more to
how blood stock is being cleared out
of the country.
heard that Golden Grass. one OF the
early ones sent to Egypt last winter.
has given such satisfaction that 1000
Euineas has been refused for him,
Trough his price here under the hammer
was only so guineas. The latter sum.
however, seemed at the time ridiculous
for a colt which. as a two-year-old. was
handicapped nine pounds above Quarry
man and was sound and right in every
way.
Indeed, he may well prove somewhat
too good for his present business.
though it is quite likely some OF the now
2year-olds that are going out may prove
equally smart. With racing so severely
restricted. little is as yet known of any
Of these youngsters, except that they
are sound and look like racing.

MITCHELL TO USE
CRACK SOUTHPAWS

CHICAGO. Aug. 26.-Fred Mitchell
has already begun grooming his
wonderful pitching staff for the
worlds series which is due to begin
next week. He makes no secret Of
the fact that he will use Tyler and
Vaughn. his crack southpavs, as
often as possible. hoping in this way
to stop Babe Ruth, wally Schang,
and Harry Hooper as much a. he
can. Tyler and Vaughn are the best
lefthanders now in the game and
both are expected to be most formid-
able in the big series.
Carl Mays, comes . report from
Boston, has gone stale and may be
unable to show at his best against
the Cubs. This will leave Barrow's
team with only three hurIers, Ruth.
Bush and Jones. Some American
Leaguers say that Jones Il really the
best pitcher on the Red Sox star.

him in the big series

MIKE M'NALLY ASKS
FOR HIS OLD BERTH

BOSTON, Aug. 26.-"TeIl Mr.. Frazee
I'll be ready to report at the Hot
Springs training camp next spring
providing he wants it 50. Maybe it
will be over by then"
So writes Mike McNally, Red Sox
formerly utility .infielder and pinch
baserunner, now in the navy and
overseas, to Larry Graver, secretary
of the Fenway Park troupe.
McNally captained the navy team
in the Fourth of July diamond battle
against the army in London. The
game was viewed by King George
and a host of other notables. It was
a combat royal, with the navy nine,
Herb Pennock. another ex-Red Sox
player, doing the pitching. triumph
ing by the tight tally OF 2-1.
McNally, in his letter to Graver,
received today, says:
Just a token from over here. I
see the boys are doing fine; keep II
up and cop the old flag. We had
some game ourselves here July 4, as
you perhaps read. Pennock pitched,
and that's the whole story-the army
could not touch him.
There were some 10000 people
present, King George, Admiral Sims.

BROUTHERS TELLS
WHAT NOT TO Do

Dan Brouthers, one OF the greatest
batsmen OF all time, has this advice
for youngsters who aspire to bulky
batting averages:
Don't try to kill the ball. You
can shoot II just as far-probably
farther-with an easy. well-timed
swing, as you can with a vicious
swipe that carries all the weight Of
your body with 1t.
THE man who strikes out often
est is the fellow who tries to murder
the ball. That's because he's so in
tent upon trying to put all the power
OF his body into the swing that his
timing is poor and his Workmanship
poorer.
Don't use a light bat There's
too much temptation to kill the oall
when you've got an easy swinging
club. Use a heavy club. With II
your swing will be slower. but it
will be better timed and you won't
be trying to smash the ball out OF the
lot every time and you will be able
to retain your balance after the
swing-something that's not possible
when using a feather stick"

The Mackmen led all with nifty
eight safe hits. the White SoX falling

The Chicago Cubs copped seven out
OF nine games, while the Cincinnati
Reds won seven out of eight.

Griffmen fell down. They stumbled

Had the Griffs done as we'll against
Burke's team as they did against the

The Griffmen have won twelve from
