Yet YOU can hnd an army OF fans
who believe that Grimes, Mays, Ehmke
and others should be added.
There are many who believe Mays a
better pitcher than any man we have
named. But we still stand pat.
Alexander and Bagby will win more
games than any other. two pitchers in
either league. They have been main l.
stays since April.
Cooper. working for the weakest hit :
ting club in either league according to
the figures, has yet held his own with
the big winners of the year.
Shocker, with ball club below third
place, has been winning steadily and
will win as many as or more games
than Mays will win by October. Grimes
Is fine pitcher and SO Is Ehmke. There
are still others. But We can't figure
any changes in view Of the embattled
dope as gathered from the figures and
the field.
Outfield Offerings
OUTFIELD offerings have also been
~ thick. Joe Jackson is hardly a
popular choice. Young, Of the Giants.
is big favorite, and he deserves all
the kind words said about him. Fol
Young IL one of the big stars of the
game. But hitting the ball happens to
be one of the main qualities left to a
star outfielder, and, while Young is a
$50 hitter, Jackson is $50 hitter.
Young is a much better defensive player
than Jackson, and there is good bit
of logic in the claim that he is better
all-around man.
Zack Wheat and Eddie Roush also
have many supporters, but Young has
something on both. Another entry
worthy Of praise is Sam Rice, of Wash
ington. a fine outfielder, 300 hitter
and the best base runner in the league
pUT there isn't room for all. Some
- good ones must be left out, and in
several cases the worth of the men men
toned Is 30 evenly balanced that It Is
all matter Of opinion rather than 9
matter of figures or actual supremacy
proved beyond the shadow of doubt
And there was no belief on our part
that the selection would ever be made
unanimous. If such a belief had evei
existed just what would have been tn,
motivating impulse back of the idea?

Scott Powell and Ryan A. c., two
West Philly neighborhood opponents,
met at Forty eighth and Brown streets,

tory by the score of to 3. The clubs
are keen rivals and in the Ryan line
up were number of players from s. p.

together with Jimmy Schofeld, star
hurler of Fleisher.
But Scott Powell had their batting
togs on and hammered Schofeld's de-
livery hard and the score, 4-3. does not
show the easy manner in which Bon

six more games before the close of the

dependent teams. The club is playing
together in great style and the attend

III. THE FINAL ROUND
''PIay!"

THE final round Of the tennis cham
i pionship of the United States was
on. Little BILL" William NJ. John
ston, holder of the title, was defending
his honors in the last match, and ]
knew that nothing short Of my best
and little more would serve against
the famous Californian.
I had a distinct plan OF campaign
mapped out for the match. Sad ex-
perience in former matches with John
ston had taught me the advantage OF
getting the jump on him. and was
determined to start quickly. Things
broke we'll from the start, and in the
space of a very short time the first set
was tucked away Mt 6-1. Johnston had
not yet started, and my exertions were
telling on me.
Billy opened the second set with a
terrific net attack that my best efforts
could not break. He broke my service
twice, and at that point gave up the
set for lost. The closing games used
to run him, trusting that the strain OF
the pace would take its toll from his
endurance.
The third set had no more thar
opened when that horrible airplane
tragedy cast It's gloom over the gather

play under again. was serving at OIL
and 30 all when the tragedy occurred
Feeling Of Horror
saw the plane fall, as I was facing
that direction. Johnston. with his bacl
to 1t did not see it, but realized that
something unusual was occurring. The
feeling uppermost in my mind as
stood there waiting for the crowd to
quiet was one Of horror, and almost
Of callous disgust at myself for the
necessity of going on with the match
when death had laid its shadow almost
on the court.
However, there was nothing else tc
be done, SO the match progressed. Ger
tain it is that for some games neither
Of us could shake off the effect of tn,
accident, while the crowd showed its
reaction by an excitability of the most
pronounced nature. o..
The turning point in the set came
when Johnston, who had broken my
delivery, lost his own service twice in
succession and the third set was an
nexcd by me, TO.
The rest gave me a chance to take
stock of matters and certain axioms o.
match play brought comfort to me

 Baron Birkenhead, lord chancellor of Great Britain, said trial by the German supreme court at Leipsic should be accepted by the Allies as an experiment and that the commis- sion would confine itself to producing evidence from countries other than Germany
 Jules Cambon of France said Ger many must be responsible for the institution of proceedings, the collec- tion of evidence and the conduct of the trial, and asserted if the Germans would take the initiat at every stage, French law officers would help them.
 Sir Gordon Hewart British dele gate. said all the Allies recognized they should place their evidence in the hands of the German attorney general and make it as easy as they could for him to get justie done.
 Carl Heinze. German minister of justice, was given names of law off, cers of Allied countries so he could communicate with them in regard to the trials.
