SPORT NOTES

The veteran Max Carey is still able to put up a whale of a game for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
 With a batting average of -260 it looks as if all of lilly Walkers hit ting has been of the home run vari- ety.
 Chicaqo fans believe the Browns and Tanks will crack under the strain and the White Sox leap into first place. The Braves can't get stars and the Red Sox can't hold 'em, as the situa- summer.
 The Yankees have won twelve of sixteen games played with the Ath- letics and the White Sox have trim med Detroit eleven times in fourteen starts.
 A more CT less disastrous roaI trip doesn't seem to affect the Giants. As soon as they land on the Polo grounds they begin to perform like champions until the Pirates meet them.
 Stengal of the Giants, Hornsby of the Cards, Sisler. the Browns shining light and the old reliable Tyrus Cobb. are the worlds greatest 400 hitters.
 Pitcher Wilbur Cooper is the "lron Man of the National league again this season. the Pirate finger having twirled twenty-two games so far this season.
 Experts are of the opinion that home run clouting will decline. now that d majority of the big league pitchers seem to have caught the step. Ruether has taken the measure of the Boston Braves five times ga for ] this season.
 1 The Indians winning streak of twelve games was the longest in the majors this season.
 The Galveston team in the Texas League is laying claim to the worlds record for home runs knocked to the ! four winds in one inning. In a recent contest with Wichita Falls the Gal weston batsmen found the range in the fifth inning and drove out five | tIrcuit clouts. The old record was three round trips in one inning. Ty Cobb is now in the midst of consecutive batting streak. The great Detroit manager has hit safely in his last fifteen games.
 It is said that Eddie Roush will never play with the Giants even if the Reds desire to sell him. He is still vexed that John McGraw preferred Benny Kauff on the Giants when the trade with the Reds was under way
 1t is evident that home rJn hitters do not make a team. The athletics have lilly Walker banging them out and Cy Williams and Cliff Lee have poled out a large assortment between them in the interest of the Phillies. Yet both teams are down in the rut.
 Six hundred and two home runs ir the major leagues with two thirds oi the season finished make it appear that the prediction of 1000 circuit drives for the season will be made good.
 The HopkinsviIle Kitty league team piloted by Art Wilson, won Is out oi the first 20 flames played. ) Fort Worth got the jump on the other Texas league teams early in the
 season and held the lead through the } first half.
 President Mike cantilon of the Da kota league complains that Fargo. the
 largest city in the circuit. has not SUD-
 ported its team.
 , The Giants hitting and fielding i. nice business, but the pitching staff appears to he badly bent at times The Pirates still have a toe holc on the pennant ladder and a little ex 2 tra effort on the part of the Stogi,
 Eaters would land hem in the frs
 division at least.
 Duke Riley, former weII-knowr n American association pastimer. ha Q signed with the Brantford Michigan . Ontario league club.
 Winning 4S and losing 13 games, tn Meridian team romped home a cham
 pion in the first half of the Cotto
 States league season.
