A second later a cop came in and

OVER TWO MILLION VIEW ARMY SPORTS Khaki-CIad Athletes Pull Big Crowds at Train
 ing Camps

The war benefit championships to be held by the United States lawn tennis association on the courts of the West Side Tennis club at Forts Hills, l.. l., beginning on August 26, will bring to- gether the best players in the country. The fact that the tournament is played for the benefit of the war and navy department commissions on training camp activities has made it possible for men in the service to compete and more than 20 wearers of khaki or navy blue will try for the title
 Official distinction will be lent the open ing by the presence of Dr. Joseph F. Raycroft who is chairman of the com missions athletic division and directs these activities in all the camps of the United States. Walter Camp who does the same work for the navy also is ex- pected to attend
 Ichyla Kumagae and R. Lindley Mur- ray share the honors as the highest rank ing players. The draw is well balanced, for in the upper half are S. Howard Voshell Nat w. Niles who was runner up in last years patriotic tournament. Raluh H. Burdick, F. B. Alexander. Harold Throckmorton and Murray. In the lower half the men who may be con sidered as contenders re Kumagae Con- rad B. Doyle of Washington, W. T. Til- den, Jr., clay court champion, Walter II. Hayes of Chicago and Walter Merrill Hall.
 In addition to the open singles, the lather and son and veterans champion ships will be played this year for the first time, with good entry lists assured.

tributons to such worthy causes, and feel confident the recommendation will be carried out.
 Easing my figures on the receipts of the 1917 series, think between S0,00o and $A0.O00 will be realized"
 Because of the demands made upon tro public for contributions to patriotic causes and also for the investment in Liberty Bonds and Thrift Stamps, the committee decided Ito materially reduce the prices of admission in order to en- able patrons to attend the games at reasonable prices''
 The price of box seats, which year ago sold for S, was reduced to S3 Grand stand reserved seats will sell for slos' pavilion seats for $1. and bleacher seats at 50 cents.
 Presid snt Johnson also announced that the national commission would cable re- ports and features of each game to the American and Canadian troops overs.as.
 George Hildebrandt and Clarence Owen were the American league umpires ee- lected to officiate in the series, while the National league selected the veteran Hank" O'Day and William Klem.

arm, which has not yet come around into proper condition
 Strunk loses considerably as do the other Red Sox outer gardners, because the Cub pitchers have the kind of de- livery which cuts off some of his swat ting value.
 I cannot figure that Mann CT Tas- kert possibly can hit the worlds se- ries pitching anything like as hard as they have been rapping the National leaguers this season. A study of their hitting, however, shows that both have been hitting the good pitchers much better this season than they figured to do, even though the bulk of their gains in hitting have been agalnst weak pitchers. Paskert gains points on greater speed and condition than he has shown in several seasons, and Mann is a dangerous driver at times and is entitled to increases because of his pinch hitting this year.
 Yet, as a whole. the outfields as compared fall nearly aahundred points to the man lower than in any world's series in the last 10 years partly be- cause of lower class material, and yet more because the pitching is especially adapted to step some of the best hit ters, no matter which club wins 1T the American.
 Tomorrow we will tackle the in fields, starting with the first basenen and I expect we will discover a greater difference between players on the in field than we have found among tile outer guardians.
