WILDE ODDS DROP
ON EVE OF FIGHT

LONDON. July 1T.-Anglo-American
rivalry was keyed to an intense pitch
today as British and Yankee fight
fans awaited the gong that will start
Pal Moore and Jimmy Wilde on their
twenty bout at $50 o'clock to-
night.
With General Pershing and his stah
and a host of American doughboys in
the city. augmented by members OF
the American colony in Paris, the
match had assumed an international
interest that savored Of pre-war COM
petition.
Wilde, the worlds flyweight cham
pion. was the favorite today. but the
odds over the Memphis boy showed a
decrease compared with the betting
three weeks ago. Looking At from his
training with British sparring part
ners, Moore weighed in at . o'clock
this afternoon, just under 116 pounds.
Wilde. as usual. was much lighter.
The drop in the odds was caused
by reports that Wilde had lost his
cld-time form and slackened his pace.
His last few fights were marked by
his missing repeatedly. a failing he
never had before. If Wilde wins il is
figured he must score by the knock
out route. II the scrap goes the full
distance, Moore's chances are consid-
cred excellent, as he is faster than
Wilde, though not so deadly with his
punches.

Looking at the American League. It
is easy to see that IL is overloaded
with aged veterans who never should
be able to keep up the pace Of .
major league campaign. And the
Youngsters in the circuit are Of dis
tinctIy second class. The caltber OF
the National League clubs is worse
than that Of the rival organization.
Minor league baseball languished in
1917 and 1918. The country resound-
ed with the tramp of armed men. A
greater game was on. Ancient play
ers cavorted in big league uniforms
and were not out OF place. The fans,
anxious for baseball, supported them,
though most baseball writers tore
their hair over the necessity OF call
ing games major league perform
ances." They knew better. So did
the fans. though they hated TO ad-
nit it.
This year the minor leagues are
working by themselves. They have
severed the relations formerly held
with the majors. and the big fellows
will not draft any players from the
sticks next September. II they want
any. they'll have to buy them. It -
not believed that many minor league
SldTs Will DC DOuShts lOi thSy arc RaA
behind big league standards, even the
standards Of today.
The outlook for strengthening the
clubs in the major leagues is far from
bright. unless the magnates, big and
little, come to some agreement re-
garding the training Of youngsters.
Big league fans in some cities have
already decided to quit. The big
crowds are found only where pen
nants are possibilities, New York. Chi
cago. Cleveland, Detroit, and Pitts
burgh.
II the two big leagues are compelled
to start out in 1920 with no better
prospects than they have now. some
big blow-ups may be expected. for the
fans will never stand for present con-
ditions extended over another year.

COLUMBIA MAY LET
BIG TOURNEY SLIP

Columbia Country Club may make
no bid for the national open golf
championship next January at the
meeting of the u. S. G. A.. which decides
the place of the big annual fixture.
DR.. Walter S. Harlan, OF Columbia
who is vice president OF the u. s.
G. A, is authority for the statement
that Columbia may make no bid for
the tournament.
'Tt is doubtful IL Columbia will
make any attempt to land the big
tournament for 1920" says DR..
Harlan. THE fact that the tourna-
ment necessitates such a strain on
the course. particularly the greens,
entertains the doubt as to the ability
Of the course to stand up under con-
tinuous play for ten or twelve days.
while the tournament itself is q
big thing in itself, there are so
many entries it would mean that the
course would be in continuous use for
something like twelve days all day
long.
1T is doubtful il the Columbia
course greens as a whole could bear
up under the burden. We have not
given up the idea of staging the tour
nament here, and 1t will not be de-
cided until Aext January, anyway.
'1n the meantime the new green's
at Columbia will get a thorough try
out" says the Columbia man.
One or two Of the Columbia green's
will need a year or so OF seasoning
before they car stand the hard usage
Of a tournament with as many entries
as the open national In the mean
time satisfaction was expressed on
all sides during the Middle Atlantic
and sectional professional tourna-
ments recently held over the way the
course stood up under continuous
play during weather which subjected
the going 10 rough usage.

PLANLONGER
1919 SEASON
IN BIG SHOW
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Owing to the bitterness of the pen
nant fights in both major leagues,
with soreness certain to follow the
closing of 40 games, it is believed
that the magnates will lengthen the
campaigns to 154 games by adding a
few double-headers here and there
and filling in some open dates al
ready on the schedules. The mag
mates admit they made bad guess
as to the popularity of baseball when
they adopted 140-game schedules in
stead of the old number.
Cincinnati, making wonderful
nEht for the National League banner
against the Giants and Cubs, has no
fewer than twelve open dates after
August Is. With 40 games to play,
these open dates will prove of great
assistance to Pat Moran's pitching
stan, IL the team is still lighting for
the honors by that time.
The magnates have been consider
ing lengthening the 1919 schedules
for several weeks. Some action is
looked for by next week.
