QUINTET TAKEN ILL
 BUT MAY TAKE PART
 IN BIG TOURNAMENT

Oakmount, Pittsburgh, Pa, Aug. IS Francis Ouimet of Boston, former amateur and open golf champion of the United States, and the favorite to win the present national amateur tournament at the Oakmont Country club, was stricken suddenly i'll late Saturday night and yesterday was in bed at the Schenley Hotel under care of specialists with a high fever.
 I'll play tomorrow if I'm able to walk" was the word from Ouimet this afternoon.
 If Ouimet is forced to withdraw it will take away considerable interest from the tournament, as the golfers of America have waited a number of years to witness the result of a na- tiOnal championship in which the Woodland Club player and Charles (Chick) Evans Jr., were contestants.
 Evans played a practice round to- day with the club professional and scored a ". The best practice rounds were made by J. A. Swettser of Ards ley, who had 7S in the preliminary round Saturday and Paul Tewkesbury of Aronimink. These players scored 73, the par for the course
 There was a tie betwee Davidson Heron, paired with Grant A. Pea cock, representing Oakmont and J. s. Dean and R. II. Haight Of Prince ton at 72 in the best ball four-ball competition for the American Golfer Trophy.

Giants Are Out Of Race
 Unless Reds Take Slump
Experts Think Reds VII Breeze Through Pennant As Boston Braves Did Away Back In 1914.

New York, Aug. 1S-The fall of the Giants in four games of the ser ies of six aga inst Cincinnati last week lust about settles the National League
 aSeball argument for 1919 New
 ork now has only a fighting chance.
 is not out of the realm of possibil- " for the Giants to overtake the leds, since stranger things have hap lened in baseball. Under present conditions, however. this seems like only an outside chance. The six game series at the Polo Grounds showed a vast difference in the spirit of the two clubs. Moran's players are ambitious, fighting, aggressive, ton seems to have gone from New York's makeup. Winning pennants is an old story with the Giants while with the Reds it is a grand and glori- ous feeling of novelty.
 If some of the other Nationaf League clubs were stronger and could give the Reds a battle in the re- maininE games of the season New York might have a chance, but with the Cincinnati club in such excellent condition and spirit as they showed here last week it does not look as if they would have much trouble with any club, outside or the Giants. New York can easily hold it's own with the other clubs, for its pitching staff is easily as formidable as Cincinnati's. Whist made the Giants look so poorly in the Cincinnati series was their hit ting slump. When a baseball club is not hitting, nothing they do on the ball field looks right. New York stayed at the top of the race so long because their sluggers were clubbing the ball hard when the pitching was weak Now that the pitching is stronger the hitting has fallen away sadly and there is nothing to offset it.
 The experience of the Reds from now on will be like that of the Bos- ton Braves in 1914. In that year the Braves caught the Giants early in September and the force Of their fight carried them along so fast that toward the end of the season the Giants looked as if they were stand ing still. The present situation is much the same. The Reds caught the Giants when they were galloping at a much faster gait than the New York club and they are drawing away from them fast.

THINK OUR BOYS MAY BEAT
 AUSTRAL. TEAM

Boston, Aug. 1S.---Devotees of ten his up in this section of the country are none too optimistic today that the challenge round of the national championship tennis doubles will be played this afternoons at the Long wood Cricket Club courts as sched- uled. Rain has been threatening all day and those who profess to know anything about New England weather feel quite certain that if 1t comes at all, it will come in sufficient Quanti- ties to flood the courts.
 In spite of the remarkable work of Gerald Patterson and Norman T. Brookes, the Australian challengers, there are many who believe that the American title holders, William T. Tilden 2d and Vincent Richards, have more than an outside chance of sue cessfully defending the championship. With those who feel that way how ever, the wish probably is father to the thought
 When Brookes and Patterson made their first appearance as doubles team at Newport last week onlookers were not greatly impressed in spite of the fact that the Ansac combination played well enough to win the tour nament. Their tennis was not excep- tional in the Casino tourney and the rteams which the visitors had to face were for the most part malke~hift af- fairs. The fact remains, however, that Brookes and Patterson have im- proved wonderfully since their arrival in this country both in their ind1vid- auI and team play.
 While both Tllden and Richards have speed and strength galore and each is brilliant in individual play, tbofr m 1KvOr1r dopS not YmeaglIra mn to that of Brookes and Patterson or. for that matter, to the team work of at least a couple of American teams that failed in the preliminary rounds of the championship tourney here. They are both youngsters. and al- though each is remarkably cool al steady they have not had the cam paigning in tournaments necessary to develop court craft and team work.

MAN O'WAR IS
 BEST TWO YEAR
 OLD 0F SEASON

Saratoga Springs, Aug. 1S-Man O. War established himself so firmly in first place among the two year oIds of this racing season in the Sanford Memorial Stakes last Wednesday that 1t is a waste of words to build up even flimsy case in favor of some other two year old beating him in the Grand Union Hotel Stakes of S1O,OOO next Saturday, that is along rne ac- cepted lines. He may be beaten racing is uncertain at best He was beaten in the Sanford Memorial last Wednesday, and yet in that race he set the seal on his greatness and did more to convince followers of the sport of his high estate than in any or all of the six races he won up to that day.
 Sometimes man on a horse can show more sterling qualities in de- feat than in victory. Man O War left no doubt of where he stands af- ter being beaten a scant half length by H--P. Whitney's Upset four days ago. In that race he was caught sideways at the barrier as the start came and then to add to his troubles was run into two pockets in a we'll meant but ill-judged effort by John ny Loftus to save a little ground on the rail.
 No horse living it would seem, could overcome such fearful odds and win. especially with 130 pounds up and yet this remarkable son of Fair Play all but accomplished the inn possible and was barely beaten by Up- set, with every advantage, and to which he was conceding fifteen pounds.
 He did beat, too, and by four lengths, the highly tried and f1ashy Golden Broom, which many conslu- cred his chief rival for the highest two year old honors. This speedy colt by Sweeper-Zuna- like Upset, was off flying and forced the early pace but he lacked the heart or the stamina to fight on when Upset and later Man O. War challenged.
 Golden Broom may redeem him self He has quality and high speed but 1t does not look as if he has quite enough to beat Man O War at even weights with both at their best and in a truly-run race.

GLEASON SAYS WHITE S0X ARE
 BOUND TO WIN

New York, Aug. 16-Kid Gleason thinks his Chicago White sox are going to hold their lead in the Amer ican League race until October's dusk and win the pennant And Chicago believes that the Kid Is right.
 The White Sox are back on their home lot now. And Gleason hopes that he can make use of this advan- tage during the next few weeks to get such a commanding lead that his Indians end New York Yankees, can not possibly overtake him.
 Gleason is a manager after Chi cagos own heart. The Windy City is a rough and ready sort of burg, where folks grow big feet and some times big heads. And Kid Gleason is the toughest and readiest sort of gent one will meet in days walk.
 Three weeks ago, when the White Sox left Chicago for an eastern jaunt, the team was in poor shape. Ray Schalk, the star catcher, and Out fielders Joe Jackson and Hap Felsch were ailing. And Gleason's pitching staff was rather shaky.
 Under these circumstances the White Sox did well to break even on the eastern trip. Moreover, they held their comfortable lead in the Ameri- can League race. Which Is fair enough.
 Back home now, Gleason has all his crippled stars in shape again. And in addition, he has unearthed unexpected pitching strength.
 The Kid tried desperately to buy pitcher a few weeks ago. At that time Eddie Cicotte, his little shine ball star, seemed to be crumbling. And the other Sox hurlers were go ing from bad to worse. Gleason would have liked to have secured Carl Mays from Boston. But the Yankees beat him to it.
 In desperation the Kid tried the experiment of developing some of his own second string turlers. Much to his surprise and satisfaction. under Eddie Cicotte's coaching. Gro yer Lowdermilk and Dick Kerr have come along in surprising fashion.
 Gleason now plans to use Cfcotte, Williams, Lowdermilk and Kerr in rotation for the balance of the season. He thinks this quartet can win the American League pennant for him.

BROOKLYN MAKES MONEY FOR lST
 TIME IN YEARS

New York, Aug. 1S-Sunday ball also is giving Charley Ebbets his first profitable year since 1916, the year of the Brooklyn championship. iBrooklyn attendance fell as the team slipped in the race. but the Dodgers picked up lot of pennies for a rainy day in the spring when the club was in the race,
 Cincinnati, a loser for years, is coining money, and all attendance records in Redland have been smash ed. It is the same in Detroit. where the spurt of the Tigers has the whole town aroused. Eighteen thousand wero out to see the Tanks play the Tigers last Thursday, and yesterday the Detroit attendance record was broken when more than 31.OO0 saw the team lost to Washington.
 When the Tanks played Sunday game in Chicago on their second Western trip the crowd was said to be the greatest that ever packed in Comiskey's park. A week ago last Sunday the Giants played to the big gest crowd that ever damned into the North Side Park in Chicago. Even the sixth place Red Sox played to nearly 32,00O on a Saturday several weeks ago, the White Sox being the attraction in a double header.
 Even the Browns are drawing as never before. During the clubs spurt last month about ,00O saw a double Iheader with the lowly Athletics, the best St. Louis crowd in four years.
 Baseball never got such a play be- fore. It looks as though the public has money for baseball despite the high cost of living.

Hawley is established in bus iness in Chicago, butt has been per suaded to make a sacrifice to give his alma mater the benefit of his excep- tional coaching ability.
 As Hawley Spears and Llewellyn are all residents of Illinois and orig finally from tn West, where they be- gan their football careers, Dartmouth may be said to have an all Western coaching staff and its work will be watched with peculiar interest, not only by Dartmouth alumni but by all football adherents.
 Hawley was graduated in 1909 and played as halfback in the seasons of 1907 and 1908 In 1907 he was one of the factoH in the game in which Harvard was defeated, 22 to 0. Other members of the famous Dartmouth

After graduation Hawley coached at Andover, and later wns for five years head coach at the Uni- versity of Iowa. where he was very successful
 Spears was graduated in 1917. His position was guard. which he played with conspicuous success in 1914 and 1915, but was barred during his senior year because of one year at Knox College before entering Dart mouth. Tn 1914 Dartmouth secured s59 points 10 opponents 25, Prince ton getting IS against I2 for the HanoyariaTs. Tufts was defeated 6s to Q the week after they had defeat cd Harvard.

Gonzales May Succeed
 Hal Chase At lSt Base
Giants First Baseman Slip ping Fast and Cuban Is Booked for His Job Next Season, Critics Say.

IL is reported in New York that may succeed Hal Chase as first base man of the Giants next season. Chase's legs have apparently gone back on him after a long term of ser vice on the diamond. Thiss silment hos made his general play look slow and the Polo Grounds fans have stnrted ta pick on the one time king of first basemen.
 Last Saturday Gonzales replaced Chase at first after Hal had retired because of an injured wrist. He gave a great flelding exhibition and his work was highly praised in the news papers, Gonzales Is fast and a good hitter. Since he was purchased from thc St. Louis Cardinals other big 2eague clubs have made offers for the Cuban but McGraw has declined them all.
 Chase Is not the only veteran of the fSiants' infield who is likely to be dis placed Doyle and Zimmerman are Doth booked to go before another sea- son rolls around. Frank FNrisch, the Eordham boy, gave a hashy fielding and base running exhibition at second an the series with the Reds but has displayed some batting defects which may prevent him from getting Doyle's 5ob right away. It is probable that McGraw will buy Ur make trades for two new infieEiers before 1920. His infiled has been crunibling fast this season and mo- ibody realizes 1t better than McGraw. It would not be surprising if the long delayed deal for Hornsby Of St. Louis should be made next winter.
