Speaking to one of the ball player. with the Grays today the writer se cured the following statement:
 Eastern League club owners gave us the impression when we signed that the season was going to be comparatively easy one, but can't SC it. They are push ing the players as if they were a lot of slaves. Is 1t any wonder to you that the men will not re- port for practice in the morning when you are asked to play seven days in the week. and make at least four railroad jumps a week.
 '-rhe Eastern League Is money mad. They have four Sunday towns in the circuit and in their anxiety to keep those towns busy on Sunday they have made a farce of thes chedule. Where is there c schedule that does not give the ball player at least one day ofr in two weeks7 In tho Eastern League. however. we

Schedule Works Havoc on Players - Locals Split Double Header, Thanks to Triple of Shanty House.
By Special Staff Correspondent)

(By Special Staff Correspondent)
 Providence, R. l., July 14-Although one and d half games behind the Grayse and Boosters, who are tied for the Eastern League lead, the Americans. fresh from their even break with the Hartford team in Bridgeport yesterday, arrived in this city last night and this afternoon were prepared to resume hostilities with one of it's most stubborn and most dangerous rivals in the cham pionship race. The Americans are an overworked lot, having played every day since the season opened excepting on two rainy days. And the visitors will play every day seven days q day-until the latter part of August, when they will be given a days rest
 While nons of the players has so far registered q complaint, the fact remains that the Eastern League players this season are the most worked lot in organized baseball The men are called upon to do twice as much travelling as any other players in class A circuits. This is made so because of the poor schedule Last year the teams were given a day off each week. This year, however, the players are forced to play seven
 days.
 The arrangements are totally that of the money-mad sort Take the Americans, for instance. Yesterday afternoon they figured in a double header in Bridgeport. Imme diate-
 1y after playing the second game, the boys had to rush to the station to make the Providence train, arriving here last night shortly after 10 o'clock.
 The schedule committee, no doubt acted on instructions, put what benc- fit baseball will derive from over worked ball players Is more than any intelligent fan in this section of the country can understand. In dollars and cents 1t means more money for the magnate, but the impression given by certain magnates before the circuit was organized was that money would not count. Apparently they
 underwent a change of mind. Then | too, perhaps the league magnates l think they are on good terms with MT. Weatherman and that occa sion | ally he will give the men a day off by | sprinkling little water Mother Earth.

ID ERHAPs NO sport in America

ID ERHAPs NO sport in America 1 today is making better headway than running horse raging and justly so. too. The sport has been cleansed and today the races are being run strictly on the merits of the horses. There Is none of the crookedness that marred the sport fin the days of Bor- Hard, the well known cigarette man ufacturer. who cleaned up almost a million on the old tracks in the Met ropolitan district. and the Bradys Today the sport is being conducted on . strictly sporting basis and Is no longer tho sport of kings; IL Is the sport of the people.
 The horses have not been trans ferred to the Empire City track down at Yonkers There the summer meet ing got into full swing on Saturday. And it was an suspicious opening. There were about 40 Brldgeporters fin attendance. These were well re- warded for their trip and daily trips will be made 10 the track by locals Bridgeport. like New York and other cities, is horse race-mad.

GID ED'' MASON. manager of Har-
 n ry Greb of Pittsburgh. is pre- pared to match his protege with
 Champion Jack Dempsey. AS Jack Dempsey is under contract to box bis fIrst battle fin Pittsburgh and as Pittsburgh is Harry's home town It ia probable that this pair will meet at Forbes Field. the home of the Pi- rates. on Labor Day. The match is ogreeoble to Manager Jack Kearns.
 While the writer has whole lot of respect for Harry Greb as scrap per. I do not believe that he will last with a boxer like Jack Dempsey. Harry Greb is fast. but not as shrew or ms finished fighter as the cham pion. Greb is n hard man in the ring
 Another thing Harry Greb Is not the coolest chap in the ring when thinss are not breaking his way. one gooo and hard punch slows him down. And Jack Dempsey is just the sort or a follow who will put over that punch

TEx RICHARD Is through with 1 promoting boxing contests. He had hoped and tried to make his last venture at Toledo the crowning sue cess of hfs caree~, but failed. PuB1l- istfca1ly the affair was a farce. By that. I don't mean that the victory of Jaca Dempsey was fluke, for 1t was fur from being that. But the man ner in which the bout was conducted was purely amateurish. But Tex Rick ard cannot be held responsible. The officials selected by the Army. Navy and Civilian Board for the Control of Boxing proved wholly incompetent Tim elceeper Barbour was Joke. So was Refreee Pecord.
 Financially the venture did not come up to expectations. The gate receipts were predicted to reach million. but they didn't come within $500, 900 of that mark. Instead or 90 900 fans being on hand to watch Inc battle there were but i9.0oo. 1n- stead of profiting to the extent of saoo. 900 and s40O. 900, Tex considered himself fortunate to clean up s1OO,- 900 Instead of receiving s25oO for his services ns referee, ollie Pecord got $500.

As both teams are tired and have been working unusually hard dur ing the past two weeks 1t IS preble- nautical to say who will serve 'em from the mound for either aggrega- ton. House and Walsh worked for the Americans yesterday, but Shanty is so confident and SO determined to show that he has really come back that he wants to- twirl again today and against the Grays and very little surprise viii be occasioned among the players if he were used.
 As a matter of fact it was Shanty House who yesterday saved the Americans from suffering a double defeat at the hands of the Hartford aggregation. The Hartford contin- gent took the first game by the score of to ? and the second game was won by Bridgeport, to 2.
 Tn the second game the Americans with one game lost, and the score evened at the beginning of their half of the ninth inning, 2-2. made

CLARKE r. Lane, Jr.. and

THAT CLARKE T. Lane, Jr.. and Il his associates aim at pfeasrrs the public was proven conclusively yesterday afternoon when the base ball fandom of Bridgeport was treat ed to two games for the price of one. II isn't every club owner who will assent to such an arrangement. Tho extra game could have been played some weekday. but Lane would listen to no such proposition.
 It is a shame that the Eastern League has not got more men like Clarke r. Lane, Jr., in its ranks. MT. Lane is a lover of clean sports and whether his team is in last place or up among the leaders, he has always striven to give fans here the best that money can buy. The trouble with Bridgcporters however. Is that the ef- forts of this gentleman are not being wholly appreciated. That park should he damned every Saturday and sun day the Americans play there. But it isn't. The weekday crowds should be larger.
 Rut then this is period or TO- construction. The time will come however. when Bridgeport VIII do justice to it's deserving teams.
