Seven 300 Hitters
 on New York Teams

Batting averages of the Giants, Yankees and Robins the three clubs representing Greater New York in the major leagues, compiled up to last Saturday, brings out the fact that only seven players among them are hitting in the 300 class. The New York Americans have two, Baker clipping the ball for 1850 and Pipp for .317. The New York Nationals have three, Doyle travelling for 1854, Kauff for 326 and Thorpe for an even 300. Brooklyn has two in the se- lect circle, Daubert leading with 332 and Schmidt following with .3O7.
 The pitching averages show Thor mahlen leading the Yankee hurIers by having won seven games out of nine and Love next in order with nine out of thirteen. Three Giant pitchers are also sporting classy av- erages, Barnes being the leader with six victories against one defeat, Per ritt twelve against three and Demaa- rec seven out of ten. Brooklyn's S most consistent winner is Grimes who has won eight out of twelve, MarQuard being the next best. hay ing broke even in sixteen games.

Ruling Made at Meeting of National League Direc tors to Go Into Effect Sep tember Enlargement Fair to All Clubs.

New York, July 9.---The National league made a far-sighted ruling at a recent meeting in New York.
 The new rule has to do with players who are in the army and navy, and who frequently find time to rejoin their clubs and play several games while on furlough.
 After September 1 no player in the service will be permitted to take part in a championship game unless his club is under the player limit of 23 men, and prior to that date no player will be eligible to doff his service uniform and don baseball regalia un- less he has written permission from his commanding officer.
 Several star players in both the National and American leagues who could be big help to their respective clubs during the race down the home stretch to pennantville next fall will be counted on in case they can secure furloughs, and in the National league in case their teams are carrying less than 23 men.
 Think what a help Grover Alexan- der would be to the Cubs should he be able to return during a crucial se- ries Figure out what Red Faber might do in the way of helping the White Sox. It would be mighty soft for either of these clubs could they call their pitching stars back in time of need, but it would cause much ill- feeling among rival clubs
 For this very reason the National league promulgated it's recent ruling and it is eminently fair to all clubs.

GIANTS AND CUBS
 SPLIT DOUBLE BILL
Chicago Takes First Game at 6-3, But New York Cap
 lures Second 3-1.

Chicago, July 9---The Giants held the Cubs to an even break in yester- days double-header, losing the first game by score of to and winning the second to 1. More than l2,OOO fans, the largest Monday crowd of the season, saw the teams split the double bill.
 In the first game Cecil Causey started for the Giants, but it was plainly not Cecil's day, for he failed to get through the second inning and gave way to George Smith. Smith held the Cubs to one run until the seventh, when they reached him for three more, and upon his retirement in favor of pinch hitter in the eighth, Jack Ogden went to the hill and completed the pastirne. George Tyler, on the mound for the Cubs, was hit hard at times, but managed to keep the Giant attack smothered.
 McGraw's men grabbed off a one run lead in the first inning. Burns doubled to right and went to third on Young's out. Fletcher hit to Hol- locher, who threw to the plate to head Burns off, but George dug back into third and both men were safe. Thorpe forced Fletcher, Hollocher to Zeider, and Burns scored on the play. Zim- norman was victim of a great play on the part of zeider, who raced over to his left and made a superb pickup of his swift grounder, begging him out at first.
 Polly Perritt, who was beaten by the Cubs yesterday, went right back at them in the second combat and hurled a fine brand of ball. Opposed to Pol was Claude Hendryx, and Claude was bumped for F hits. For five innings neither side scored, but in the sixth the Giants broke the spell with single by Doyle and zim- merman's three-base drive to the fence in centre field. Young's double, Fletcher's out, and a single by Doyle accounted for their second run in the eighth, and in the ninth Wilhoit sin gled and was forced by Rariden, who scored on Burns's double and a wild peg by Mann.

JACK DEMSEY TO MEET MISKE FOR SOL LDIERS FUND

New YorksSsJuly 9.=--Billy Miske, .conqueror of Fred Fulton, will meet Jack Dempsey, the heavyweight sen satton, in one Of the feature bouts of the boxing carnival to be held next Tuesday night in Madison Square Garden. The show will be held under the auspices of the War Department Commission on Training Camp Activ- ities, and is being managed by Pri- vate William H. Wellman, the famous sport promoter, who is on furEough from his soldier duties at Camp Wadsworth, Spartanburg.
 The Dempsey-Miske bout is a $20, 900 attraction, but these champion fight CTS are donating their services so that the New York boys in various army camps may have athletic equipment, of which there is a woeful shortage. The proceeds of the big show will be spent for athletic material for sol diers from this district.
 Benny Leonard, the worlds light weight champion, will also appear at the Garden show, as will Packey Me- Farland, the greatest boxer of his day Their opponents are yet to be selected, but Wellman expects to ob- tain worthy opponents for them to- day.
 Guy Carleton, Brigadier-General at Camp Wadsworth, where most of the New York boys from the last contin- gent are encamped, last night wired his approval of the big show.

Muslins Defeat New
 London in Fast Game

New Haven, July 9 - The New London Whalers, holders of the run nerNup position in the Eastern League. and but a few games behind the leading Bridgeport aggregation, ran against a snag in their quest of pennant honors at the Savin Rock grounds yesterday afternoon when the Murlins put the slzids under them to the tune of to 3. Iron Man" Reiger, who has recently attained the honor of having won games over every team in the league, opposed our MT. Tyler on the mound, and although he held the locals safe in the first part of the game, weakened near the finish and drew second honors.
 Walker and Miller led the batting jamboree in the sixth and seventh innings, from which the Murlins emerged from training position and crossed the wire two laps to the good, Walker getting a single in each in- ming and Miller doing a bit better, polling a single in the sixth and 8 double that almost reached the cen- ter field fence in the seventh. Both also had a conspicuous day in the field, Walkers being particularly good one and Miller's an unusually bad one. The score:

RAY HEATING
 A TANK AGAIN

Ray Heating is coming back to the New York Yankees, according to de- spatches from St. Paul last night. It was stated also that two unnamed players" would be sent to the St. Paul American Association Club in exchange for Heating.
 As far as the Yankee management is concerned, the two men to go to St. Paul are still unnamed, no one would venture a guess as to who among the fighting Tanks could be so unfortunate as to have to leave with the team fighting for the league lead.
 Heating never was a great success with the Yankees in games won and lost, but he was always playing with them as a second division team. He hurled some good ball, but in 1916, after having been with thee Tub four years, was dropped because he could not get into condition. His best sea- son was 1914, when he took part in thirty-four games, winning eight and losing nine. Pitching for Toledo in the American Association last season, a tail-end team, he won fifteen and lost seventeen.

Senators Have Easy
 Time With Boosters

Worcester, Mass, July 9-Hughie McQuillan of no-hit fame, had a wild day on the mound yesterday after noon and Hartford beat him 10 to 2 assisted by some seven errors. Short stop Grimes was in the star role with a homer double, single and pass. Cook of Wisconsin, who beat Worces- ter 16 to 0 on his last trip here, was almost as effective yesterday, as only one run was carmel off him.
 For a couple of innings the Boost CTS looked good and then the fire works of the third inning, when Hartford grabbed five runs, practical ly broke up the game. There were yells to derrick McQuillan, but he stayed through to the finish, balloon ing again in the sixth when Hartford scored runs. The score:

hdAucISs the SIIldlA IuIASI OA ~l11o Green Sox, seems to find out that there is nothing in name. He gets bumped hard nearly every game des- pite his name.
 Gagain, the smallest catcher in the league, has taken position at the Chase Metal Works. He had to get job to help Uncle Sam win the big game.
 Pickup came to this league from the Phillies but SO far has showed nothing with the stick. Maybe he hits major pitching harder than minor.
 Bill Shay is now leading off for Hartford. He has been their most consistent hitter and should fill the lead off position nicely.
 Hank" Bracket is certainly missed by the local fans. The blonde boy was a. great favorite with fans throughout the circuit.
 ny" Cobb is surely getting base hits. Monday found ny even with George Sisler The other day "Ty'' slid into first base three times and got the umpire's decision twice. Johnny Evers made statement the other day that while he was at Camp Upton he saw many promising players. They are sure to bat 1000 against William and his staff. Larry Doyle has returned to the game after long rest caused by an injury. His presence in the line up ought to help the Giants in their fight for the pennant. Cueto, the Cuban on the Reds, claims he can play more positions than anyone else in the majors. He can play six positions including catcher. He ought to be a handy man to Matty.
 Pearce has the honor. of breaking 1 into the majors right from the sand I lots. Moran found himself in need of an infielder and engaged Pearce | While on the Western trip Pearce got
 
 the Giants. From that time on he has received praise from every sport ing writer. He has made very few errors and has been hitting timely Moran will feel his loss greatly on the Western front. Hal Chase made the first home run that was made on the Reds field this season, Saturday. Hal thinks that he will make more now that he has the range.
 Jimmie Ring has returned a better | pitcher. He has won two games for Matty since his return. The Reds have only won three games in the | last two weeks.
 Jamieson, the kid infielder of the Athletics, has become one of the best f1elders in the American League. The other day he made the best catch seen at Shibe Field in years. He caught a ball against the wall, fell down and did a couple turnovers but held on to the pill. Connie was so pleased with the catch that he gave Bill an extra ten spot after the game.
 "Ty" Cobb said it was the best catch he has seen made in the Ameri- can League.
 Casserly will not make the trip to Springfield today with the Americans. Casserly said last night that he was through as member of the Ameri- cans. Goose" is a crackerjack tool maker and can make more at that than playing ball.
 Home Run" Baker is the first player in either major league to reach the century mark. His tooth hit also won the game yesterday against the White Sox.

 SISLER BEHIND

Ty Cobb, the Georgia peach of the Detroit club,~ raised his batting aver age 9 points yesterday by getting 4 hits out of five times at bat. He now leads the batters in the Ameri- can league race, with an average of 1883. George Sisler of St. Louis, who lead the league until yesterday, had an idle day and his average stayed at 1854. Baker dropped back few points only securing one hit in five trips to the plate. Pipp added few points getting two bingles out of four trips.
 Heinie Groh lost five points in the National league race but continues to lead Smith of Boston by four points.
