St Louis, Aug. 13.--Record keepers and dope singers generally were not willing to give OutfcIder Billy South worth of the Pittsburgh Pirates cred it for the honor of being the National League's best batter last year. They said he was only a flash anyway, and though he took part in more than half the games the Pirates played they held he wasn't a regular mem Der and Zack Wheat, hitting six points less, was proclaimed the seasons champion with the stick.
 When Southworth started ve,kly, this year the record keepers said 1t proved their argument. But South worth was sick in the spring and could not show his real worth About a month ago he really got started and he's on his way to prove his right as n batsnan.

Harvard Football Candidates Advised
 to Put on Weight

Cambridge, Mass, Aug. 13-In a communication addressed to all can didates for the Harvard varsity foot ball team, Dr. Edward H. Nichols warns the men against taking off weight during the summer, which will cause them to go stale before the big games are played. A heavy Hnesman can afford to come back to Cam bridge from 12 to 15 pounds over weight, while light ends and backs should carry from seven to ten pounds surplus when they report to head coach Bob Fisher next month.
 Dr. Nichols has been connected with Harvard football and baseball as club physician for the past ten years. His letter, which gives the prospective candidates for the team considerable advice, has been mailed by the Harvard football management, and is preceded by a communication signed by Coach Fisher. The head coach, in his statement addressed to all candidates for the football team, writes as follows:
 Football practice will begin at Cambridge on Sept s. This prelini- nary work, because of the present conditions, is more necessary than ever before for the proper develop ment of the team.
 Each candidate should carefully study the football rules for 1919 be- fore returning for practice. It is also equally important that as many can- didates as possible practice bunting, drop kicking. goals from placement kick-offs, and passings. In other words, make an endeavor to thor oughly familiarize yourself with the kicking and handling of the ball.
 Tt will be necessary this fall to de- velop practically an entire team from unknown material Consequently, each candidate has an unusual oppor- tunity to make a place for himself on the 1919 eleven.
 ITO insure a successful season the cooperation of every man is vitally importaht''

 CZarism In Major
 Leagues Is Doomed

New York, Aug. 13-Thc special meeting of the board of directors of the American League, called for to- morrow. is for the purpose of "driv- ing czarism out of the American League" That is the language of Liout.-Col. T. |. Huston. half owner of the Yankees.
 Thereafter men are going to get q square deal fin our league" said Illus ton on the Polo Grounds yesterday. We mean to make an end of snap judgment rule.
 When man is accused of any thing in this league again we intend that he shall have fair treatment. When a man again is accused of any charge it is our intention that the executive shall make a full investiga- ton and hear both sides of the case. Especially must he give the mSa ac- self Judging n man guilty without a trial isn't American and has no place fin the American League.
 We no longer intend that the ar bitrary action or mere personal whim of one man shall govern affairs in the league"
 This is taken to mean that the ma jorfty directors intend to clip John- son's wings tomorrow and to strip Johnson of his former arbitrary pow CTS. If he doesn't like 1t the door will be held open for him. "Czarism must go." is the slogan.

Gotch, Zsybysco, Hackenschmidt and other noted wrestIers and prizefghters have also been unable to lift the little girl from the floor when she assumes her po- sition as dead weight. Tonight will be the last opportunity, as the time will be well spent.
 Elinor Glyn's celebrated story. The Career of Catherine Bush' will also be screened for the last time this evening. This picture has undoubt- edly been a big attraction at the the atre, and is the talk of the town especially among the female sex who seem to have a decided affection for the author of Three Weeks
 Mrs. Sydney Drew appears in "Bunkered," one of the cleverest of Paramount-Drew comedies. The Pathe as usual is interesting and newsy.
 We are sorry to see Flo and Ollie Walters leave, as these little girls have become great favorites during their three day visit. They sing char acter songs in very original manner and are gra ceful dancers.

 Senator Simmons (Dem., N. C., upon receipt of a letter from con stituent askin him whether he has a right to make cider and, under tht present law, what disposition he can make of it. took the matter up with the Attorney General.
 "The present law prohibits the manufacture and sale only of distilled spirits or malt or vinous liquors" was the reply. ''whether cider can be re- gafded as a vinous liquor has been a matter of considerable doubt. I have, however, advised the Secretary of the Treasury that 1t is not vim ous liquor and therefore not prohib- ited by the Prohibition Law.'

HIS CHOICE IS
 WINNER IN BIG
 SARATOGA RACE

Saratoga, Aug. 13.---Commander J. K. L. Ross got a great deal of satis- faction out of the victory of his lilly, His Choice, by Hessian-M -Melle, in the Kentucky Stakes yesterday afternoon. His Choice, admirably ridden by Andy ISchuttinger, defeated a fair field of filiies handily. The Cuban-owned Az urita, also by Hessian, was second, while La Rablee, owned by P. A. Clark, was third.
 His Choice is the only thorough bred in the big establishment owned by the Canadian that was purcased by Commander Ross without the ad- vice of his trainer, Bedwell, and it was this circumstance that brought about the naming of the daughter of Hessian.
 Schuttinser had His Choice off run- ming and she soon had opened a gap that proved a winning one. Azurita might have given the winner an argu- ment with an even break She was off slowly and had to make up a lot of ground. At the end she was run ming over her horses to beat La Ra- blee for he place by half a length
 apt. RaI Parr kept up his winning stride by taking the steeplechase with Playhouse and the last event with Blazes. But this was not all for the Garth family, for Lewis scored with w. T. Wilkinson's War Rocket, a son of Uncle and Princess Orna in the mile race which brought together the best field of the afternoon War Rocket came right back to run an ex- cellent race. Daydue was the one to cut out the running early, when Hut tontrope took the lead ,only to quit badly in the stretch, where War Rocket came along and easily passed the leader to win going away.
