Calkins, "of course, not so bad all the
time as I have been for the past ten
years, but enough to make me suffer
a lot. My arms panied me like old

seemed to be worse at night and

agony 1 suffered. Then, about twelve

any work myself and couldn't depend
much on hired help. 1 had tried all

NOTES
"STRENGTHEN THE GIANTS"
This Seems To Be the Slogan With
National League Magnates.
81 ID. q. HAMILTON.


New York, July Interpretations
of further chickering's of sensational
nature in the National league were
voiced here today following yesterdays
explicable exchange in which John
McGraw obtained a star catcher for a
useless and crippled pitcher.
The trade of Ferd Schupp to the
Cardinals for Frank Snyder, it was
contended. could be justified by
Branch Hickey only by manipulating
his players further and shunting
Schupp to some one who wants to
spend a season attempting to bring
the former star back to greatness.
Schupp's value is practically nil. while
Snyder long has been rated one of the
best catchers in the National league.
Students of baseball had it figured
that McGraw induced Hickey to make
the exchange only by promising that
he would use his surplus catching
material in a deal that will bring
pitchers to the Giants-something
benefactor a good turn by entering
into another trade that will strengthen
the Cardinals.
McGraw long has been hot after
several star southpaws. He wants
Eppa Rixey, Phillies; Arthur Nehf,
Braves, or Wilbur Cooper of the Pi-
rates. He has little chance of getting
the latter two, altho each of the clubs
needs a good catcher. AS for Rixey,
it is quite probable a deal can be ar
ranged for him because Cactus Cra-
vath wants a backstop.
Strengthen the Giants seems to
be a slogan with the National league
magnates, even at the expense of their
own ORGANIZATIONS

EAST AGAINST WEST
Three Coast Tennis Stars Among
Eight Left for Finals.

Chicago, July 1.-THE east and
west today had the edge on the mid
dlewest in the national clay court
tennis championship tournament here
Eight players were left to battle for
the championship of the clay courts
The coast still has former champion
Billy Johnston, Alex Grave and
Robert Kinsey, all of San Francisco,
to uphold their claims to the honors.
The east has the present champion,
William Tilden, Philadelphia and
VINCENT Richards. New York These
two players are holding the national
doubles championship and have been
victorious in their matches at the
tourney so far.
The middlewest has three players
to stake their claim, but the dope will
be upset If they come thru with the
honors. Walter Wesbrook, Detroit,
won his way into today's play by de-
feating Ralph H. Burdick, Chicago.
Walter Hayes and Harry Waidner of
Chicago bring up the trio for the mid
west
