Ray Grimes got three hits out of four times up yesterday and none of them were the scratchy variety either. All three of them were cut through the inf1eld to right.
 Grimes had two and two on him in the third when he laced out his first hit, but he waled the first ball pitch ed for a single in the fifth. He had three and two on him in the eighth when he obtained his third hit of the day.
 Umpire Bransfeld called Ray Grimes out for interference yesterday in the first inning when the catcher in throwing to third to catch Emerick stealing, hit Grimes club. The bat ter may not have intended to inter- fere, but his actions were decidedly suspicious looking at it from the grandStand.
 New Haven appears to be the toughest losers in the circuit and now that they are back at the top again, we feel sorry for the team that takes them out of there.
 Pittsfeld seems to be upsetting the hopes of them all. On Saturday the Hillies pulled New Haven out of the lead and yesterday they pulled Wor- cester from the balcony position. There's a big difference between Ray Grimes and Martin when they are working on the offensive. Ray waits 'em out usually. but Martin

Bridgeport Is today entertaining McCorry's Albany outfit at Newf1eld park and whether they will act as ton, but from the way the Americans have been going on their own field during the past few days. Albany is due for a beating. However, that will not be definitely known until along about o'clock tonight.
 Yesterday the Hartford team was given another trimming and this time the score was, 2 to l. The victory came in the third session when Pitch CT Sloan weakened temporarily. After Emerick had died on a pop fly to short, Bracket waited the pitcher out and drew a free pass. Martin was thrown out by the pitcher, but Ray Grimes breeZed a single through the infield to right and Bracket scored, Grimes taking second on the throw in. Grimes went to third on a short passed ball and tallied when Skiff singled through the inner de- fense to right
 That was all the scoring there was in yesterdays game for Bridgeport Hartford put one run across in the third frame, too. Kelly opened with a hit which Ray Grimes was unable to get, but Sloan took three strikes
 Harber then doubled to right and Kelly crossed the plate.
 During the entire performance Hartford was able to collect only foul hits off the delivery of Lennon, who 1 had his assortment of curves working ! to perfection. Two of the hits al | lowed by him came in the third ses- | sion and the other two were so fal | apart that not the slightest damage resulted

side and pitched ten in the sixth and nine in the seventh. That is getting away pretty easy for any pitcher.
 Will the Indians crack under the August strain? Colonel Ruppert president of the Yankees, recently ex- pressed the opinion that he feared the Chicago White Sox more than he did the Indians. It is his belief that the White Sox veterans of many previous seasons will wear better than the Indians during the hot weather of August and September.
 The Colonel may be right, but have my doubts. Celeveland looks like the class of the league, outside of the Tanks. They are there with the batting and the pitching staff seems to be mighty dependable. The Tanks can trim Chicago, but about Cleveland I'm extremely doubtful.
 Charley Paddock looks like the class among our sprinters. His recent feat of equa4ling the world S record for the 10 meter dash is con- vincing enough proof that it will take some mighty fast men to beat him over that distance at the Olym pic games.
 Last winter when Charlie was de- l feated in the 70 yard special dash at the Millrose A. c. games at Madison | Square Garden, New York, he re- marked Wait till I get those birds 1 outside" Charlie has them outside 1 now, and he is running rings around | most of them.
 One of the chief reasons for the
 recent spurt of the Chicago White l Sox is the splendid work of First ! Baseman Jack Collins. Jack is be- l ginning to find himself as a first l baseman. Jack is stopping most i everything that comes his way, and l in addition is walloping the ball l sound1y and often.

ANOTHER VICTORY
 FOR RED LANCELOT

Kalamazoo, Mich, July 21-For the third consecutive time in as many weeks, Charlie Valentine pi1oted Red Lancelot to victory over the Stake Pacers. He was winner in the 2:09 Park American event, taking the first and third heats, but losing the second to Symbol S. Forest It was the first heat in which the Valentine mount has failed to finish in front.
 Pop Geers had a good day, win ming two events handily. He upset the talent by taking the 2:16 trot in straight heats with Herbe1yn. thereby decisively defeating Norman Dillon, the favorite. He also won the 2:0S trot with Peter June.
 The 2:07 pace was won by Princess Mary, driven by Fleming. She finish ed sixth in the first heat and then came along and took the next two. The crowd was a big one for the opening day and the track fast.

BURKE RETURNS
 TO NEW ORLEANS
Fred Digby Doesn't Believe Gene Tunney Injured His
 Hand in Battle.

Fred Digby, manager of Martin Burke. the New Orleans heavyweight, yesterday announced that he and Burke had purchased tickets for the South and would start today for the Crescent City.
 Feeling sure that Tunney had no intention of boxing Burke, and not having money enough to stay around New York till such time as he made up his mind, we decided to go home. We received s20o expense money from Prom oter Jennings, and that was ex- hausted in railroad fares. Burke was willing to box Thursday, but Tunney said he would not be ready till next Monday. As the International Sport ing Club bouts are on for next Mon day, Tunney and Burke would have drawn like wildfire on Monday, would they not? When Tunney refused to box on Thursday I asked Jennings to pick out any other heavyweight in the ring with Burke on Thursday, but this was refused.
 therefore we are compelled to re- turn South, where we can have 9 sented to stay here till Monday, no doubt Tunney would have said he would box the following Thursday, and by extending the date from Mon day to Thursday and from Thursday to Monday, kept us here all summer.
 No one has seen Tunney's hand, and, for one, don't believe he was hurt at all. It is strange he never was injured previous to bouts with the bunch of third raters he has been stopping. As soon as he is matched with a man of class an injury pre- vents him coming into the ring

RUTH DRIVING AT
 MINOR LEAGUE MARK

Babe" Ruth, having shattered his own home run record, now aspires to better the minor league mark made by Perry Warden of the Minneapolis club of the Western League who in 1905 amassed a total of 45 homers. It is quite likely that Babe" will even beat Werden's mark this year as the present season has just passed the midway point.
 Ruth's second homer in Monday S double-heaeer with the White Sox enabled him to surpass Ping Bo- dies total of 30 homers, made in 1910, when the Yankees center field CT was with the San Francisco team of the Pacific Coast League. In addi- ton there are five other minor league marks which the Babe has yet to reach

 Foreign countries who quite rightly look upon your Uncle Samuel as the Caesar of the athletic world might we'll ask as did that great mans ri
 vals: Upon what meat doth this our Caesar feed that he hath grown so great?"
 European countries, amazed at our remarkable athletic performances in past Olympics, have put the question to themselves. They have come to to the conclusion that meat has noth- ing to do with it. Instead it was found that nothing but Yankee enter prise, energy and a practice of the up to the minute methods of accom- plishing things accounted for the re- peated demonstrations of athletic su-
 periority.
 Uncle Sam is going to repeat again at Antwerp this summer. That much appears to be fairly certain. The American team is a well bal anced machine, brilliant in spots and just little more than ordinarily ef- ficient in others. America as we said before should win. But the idea of a
 walk-over should be quickly got rid of. And it will be if you'll but con- I sider the facts.
 America has always had more than
 an edge in the sprints, ana the n1u- dle distances.

CITIZENS ASK FOR
CHICKEN ORDINANCE


The City Council had chicken at
its meeting last Monday night. II

pecking, trespassing chicken.
Quite a delegation of both men
and women were before the Council
praying for an ordinance to prohibit
chickens from roaming at large.
averring that there were a great
many in Grenada who owned no
chickens, yet their flowers in their
yards and vegetables in their gar
dens were the prey of neighbor' S
chickens and that they could see no
more reason for allowing chickens
to destroy that which did not belong
to their owners than for letting hogs,
horses or cattle do similar things.
The high prices of food of course
easily reinforced the value and inn
portance of gardens. Those combat
ting the idea that every chicken
should stay on his own turghill in
sisted that the chicken had so long
been allowed to roam at will that it
would be a piece of Prussian cruelty
to deny Mr. Rooster and his mate and
her progeny to go wheresoever they
will even if it be into some neighbor's
yard or garden. To think of prescrib-
ing the range Of chickens is a trans
position that but few are prepared to
adjust themselves to. But any way
after hearing the matter both pro
and con, the Council passed the anti
free range chicken ordinance. The
friends of the unrestricted chicken
retired but not vanqaished, some as
serting that they would be back an
other day.
