Approaching Idealism.

Are we at last upon the right
path? Dare we think that we are on
the road to the Utopian view of
top of our ideals the word sports
manship" rather than amateur" ii
would be a triumph, indeed. Some
how or other we have become terribly
mixed in confounding the desire to
win with unfairness or deceit. This
largely emanates from those who be-
lieve they can tell good red-blooded
American boy of eighteen that when
he goes into his games he must not
care who wins; he must play the
game just for the fun of playing 1t:
No boy Of eighteen can understand
that kind of reasoning. He is going
to play with his heart and soul knd
determine to win il possible. The
only thing that will save him from
going too far and using unfair means
is q sense sportsmanship, and that IS
that the amateur does not absorb all
the sportsmanship. 1t is true that a
man whose living depends upon the
outcome Of the game he is playing
in has a great deal of pressure upon
him. but thousands Of our profess
SIGNALS in base ball. golf and other
sports still show that good brand OF
sportsmanship and which we some
times find lacking in our amateur
games, hedged in so closely with all
sorts OF rules.
All we can do is to preach sports%
manship and endeavor to bring about
a new belief that II does not depend
upon rules or regulations. and that
these cannot make or unmake a
sportsman.

LOSS BY RAIN
Estimates Show That Giants Are
Minus This Sum Through
Wet.

NEW YORK. July 23.-The st.
Swithin showers of the last week
have cost the Giants about $4,000, SO
it is estimated. There have been six
postponments during the last eight
days, including Saturday and Sun
day games, which would have prob
ably attracted $4,000 spectators for
the two games. Mondays double-head-
er with Cincinnati would doubtless
have drawn more than 10000, while
yesterdays game would have attract
ed almost as many.
Not within the memory of the Oldest
fan in Harlem has there been such a
stretch of bad weather in July. There

It's during the world series in 1917,
when the Giants and Athletics were
marooned in Philadelphia. But this
was in early October, when the
weather is not supposed to be as re-
liable as in July.
The downpour was so heavy yester-
day that the Polo Grounds were
flooded all afternoon and the game
with Cincinnati had to be called Off
early. The double-header scheduled
in Brooklyn with the Cubs, was also
postponed. The Giants and Reds will
try to play a double-header this aft
ernoon if the weather permits. There
will also be a double header at Eb-
bets Field.

SOCCER CHAMPIONS SAIL
Bethlehem Team Bound for Swe-
den, Finland, Norway and Den
mark to Play Games.

NEW YORK, July 23.-Members of
the Bethlehem Steel foot ball club,
American soccer champions, were
among the passengers today on the
steamship stockhold for a three
month tour in Sweden, Finland, Nor
way. Denmark and Brazil.
The party, composed of twenty-five
persons. includes nineteen players
and three trainers. Thomas w. Ca
hill, honorary secretary of the United
States Foot Ball Association, is di-
rector of the tour. Two players
added to the roster at the last minute
were James Easton. from the Gil
son of Scotland.
Results of the impending matches
will give a line on the prospects
the United States soccer players will
have in competition in the next
Olympic games. The Scandinavian
teams have played in England, whose
teams were successful in the last
Olympic games and the Danes have
defeated England's best elevens on
several occasions. Brazil's repre-
sentative team has scored victories
over English teams visiting the South
American country, where the Ameri-
cans have a tentative schedule of six
games.
All of the federation teams of the
Scandinavian countries will be met.
Games in Norway, yet to be ar
ranged, probably will be played at
Christiania and Bergen.
The players will train aboard ship
and at Saltsjobaden. a resort just out
side of Stockholm, before the opening
contest, which will be attended by
King Gustave V of Sweden and by
Crown Prince Gustav Adolf

Tendency to Sensationalism.

An accusation is made that once in
the athletic limelight the desire to
have ones name and deeds featured
becomes too strong. But this falls nat,
If we take time to look into the facts
of the cases. The need which is
given the professional player is due
him. He is q public performer. A
good part Of the public attend the
college games. Why should they not
be entitled to know about the men who
are performing?
AS for the player himself. newspaper
publicity affects him very little. He,
as rule, doesn't get the "swelled
head" His teammates BEE to that.
In conversation had with a college
oarsman who had been starred" in a
number of newspapers, he said to me:
IF ever I had any inclination to feel
'chesty' about my rowing ability, I
lost it right after a newspaper re-
ferred to me as a star The kidding 1
got from my mates was enough to
last me for lifetime. But it GER
tainly did put me on my mettle, be-
cause every time I'd commit one OF
an oarsmen is subject to, I'd hear
coming from the coaching launch,
loud enough for the whole river to
hear, Hey. you STAR" quit trying to
dredge the river with that oar
think that that may be taken as a
pretty general instance. No coach
will stand for a 'swelled head but
they like to see their charges get
their due"
AS for the tendency toward profess
sionalism. there is nothing in it. 1t
takes a man a very little while to
realize just how much value these
college ''write-ups" and letters and
insignia mean outside the university
walls How many people outside the
or the &C" with crossedoars stand
for? And II they did. what would
they care? There are too many years
on the other side of the scale. I do
not believe that the accusation that
a little newspaper publicity tends to
destroy the amateur spirit will hold
water.

WILL MAKE OR BREAK
PILLS, SAYS BRANCH HICKEY

PHILADELPHIA, July 23.-Cnarles
Clifford Cravath is either going to make
or break the Pills, in the opinion OF
Branch Hickey. the boss of the st. Louis
Cards.
When Cravath took charge of our
downtrodden, downhearted and down.
hill Pills they were in such splendid
state of base ball condition that they
couldn't be broken. Trying to break
the Pills would have been like trying to
break a broken window pane. With

However, l will say this. He's not

BIG Three HAVE KEPT
GIANTS IN LEAGUE RACE

The hard and timely hitting of the
Giants and the work of three pitchers,
Barnes, Causey and Benton. have been
the leading factors in keeping the
Giants in the front row Of the pen
nant race thus far this season The
terrific batting of Young, Kaunf and
Burns especially has been a big aid
to the team in the flag fight. Young
and Kauff are among the first FIVE
batsmen of the league and Burns is
close behind them. Doyle has also
been playing strong game. both at
the bat and in the field. The problem
which McGraw has on his hands is
that If these heavy hitters should fall
of to any great extent the extra
burden which would be thrown on the
pitching stan would be SO great that
| it is doubtful if the fingers could
stand the pressure.
Between them Barnes, Causey and
Benton have pitched no less than
/ forty-two of the sixty-six games
! which the Giants had played up to
| Saturday. They have stood up well
under the brunt of the work. and Fri
days game against st. Louis showed
that Barnes, who has pitched sixteen
games this season, has not suffered
from extra work. OF these games
Barnes has won twelve and lost four.
| Causey has won nine and lost three,
while Benton has won nine and lost
| five.-Philadelphia Bulletin.

Cleanings From Sportdom
- By Walter Camp --
Aim Of College Athletics.

Fundamentally the aim Of college
athletics Is to graduate a man with a
good average physique. just as his
studies are supposed to equip him
with an average mental store. College
athletics should be soothing but prep
aration that will show the student by
what means he may in after life main
tain the equation by keeping his phys
ical balance up to his mental. The
physical foundation that Is given a
man by the proper kind of athletics
is not half as valuable as the knowl-
edge pounded into him that the only
way to keen mentally At Is to keep
physically 80. Proper athletic train
ing during his period Of learning will
show him how he may do this. Col
leges are in the infancy of mass train
ing. which. by the way. they learned
from the Army and Navy.

BURRUS' BONE BROKE
MIRAGE OF VICTORY

CLEVELAND. Ohio. July 23.-Bur-
rus, the extra first sacker of the Ath-
letics, won life membership in the
Hall Of Fame yesterday when he
walked off first base in the ninth in
ming, thinking there were three out
instead of only two He thus pre-
vented the Mackmen from tying the
score, or possibly winning the game.
AS it was. Cleveland was the victor
by a score of to 8.
Burrus batted for Pitcher Naylor
in the ninth. the Athletics already
having scored one run and having the
bases filled with only one out. He
hit what ordinarily would have been
a single, but Pitcher CoveIeskie made
spectacular stop and pickup and
managed to get Burns at the plate.
Then when Burns and Catcher ONeill
were picking themselves up, Burrus
deliberately walked off first and toward
the plate. probably intending to go back
to the bench to get his glove, thinking
the game was over. 1t was over just
as quick as Second Baseman Wambs-
ganss could attract Coveleskie's atten-
ton and get him to throw the ball to
first.

had to be placed or the player was
severely penalized. The green's were

soft and a rule was made allowing
players to clean their ball on this

PROBABLE CAUSE OF
MAYS QUITTING BOSTON

No matter whether Pitcher Carl
Mays is traded by the Red Sox or not,
he cannot play another game in the
American League until he has paid
fine of 800 imposed by President
Johnson. Mays was justly penalized for
a fragrant exhibition of rowdyism. He
threw a ball at a spectators head
during a recent game at Shibe Park.
and because the Boston club has re-
fused to make good the amount of his
fine Mays has deserted the team.
Mays is a good pitcher, but base ball
can get along without players of his
kind. Johnson should suspend him in
definitely for his refusal to obey the
rules of the game.-New York Sun.
