Jack Scott May Be
Giants Pitching Saviour

The same Jook Scott nearly threw
the Boston Braves and the Reds into
court early IN the season. The Braves
traded him to Garry Hermann for
Rube Marquard and Larry Kopf and
when he turned up with lame arm,
Hermann yelled for Justice because
the Braves had slipped him dead
one with malice aforethought. The
Braves maintained that Hermann
had eyes and when Hermann saw
he had no comeback he cut Scott
loose unoonditionally.

Baseball TO the older fans offers

amusement, plus exercise.
Tennis. while q has become very

the attendance at the major league
games. Big tennis matches are not
daily occurrences, hence tennis, as
a magnet for the crowds. does not
cut in on baseball at all.
The remarkable crowds that have
attended the major league races
since the close OF the war is proof
positive that the game IS more popu-
lar than ever. All attendance rec
ords IN every major league city have
been broken over. and over again

SUN DODGERS TO
KEEP ON DIAMOND
Special to The Evening Journal.

Special TO The Evening Journal.
AfIDDLETOWN. Aug. 5.-The an
nouncement made here Wednesday
that the local bail club had decided
TO disband for the season was greeted
with considerable surprise and dis
pleasure by the many fans who have
been deriving much entertainment
from the Saturday games. The club
management has given as the reason
lack OF funds to continue TO maintain
a winning team. It was expected
that the Townsend series would be
such a financial success that the.
club could continue to play for the
remainder Of the season. The abrupt
ending Of this series, however, placed
the club In an even deeper hole, as
the expenses for the first game were
unusually heavy and all Of the re-
ceipts were taken by the Townsend
team. as the agreement had stated.
The expense OF running a team has
been unusually heavy this season as
the club has been using many paid
players, instead OF homo boys. who
could be secured for nothing.
with the dlsbandment OF the So
called first team, the Sun Dodgers,
who have been furnishing such a
high-ciass article OF twilight ball,
have come forward with the an
nouncement that they will finish the
season. playing twilight and satur-
day ball and that only first-class
teams will be engaged 20 play on the
local grounds. The sun Dodgers have
been producing as fast a brand Of
baseball as displayed by the first
team and really have gathered to-
gether an unusually speedy aggrega-
ton OF ball players. all Of whom are
products OF this town or vicinity.

Year we will have the return
bout between Jess Willard and
Jack Dempsey, Tex Rlckard Il
certain that it will draw a crowd
and Tex Riokard Is a pretty
shrewd Judge OF what will draw
a crowd.
TEX goes a little further and
will maintain quite seriously
that Willard would have a great
chance IN return match. Tex
always did believe that willard
was fighter II he would train
sensibly for the game. Willard
always believed that he was In
vinclble until he sat stupidity In
the middle OF the ring and real
lied that at last there was a
man who could floor him.
ar Willard does come back
for a return match with Demp-
sey Il will not be because the
middle aged gentleman Il figur-
ing only upon the losers end.
II will be because he has regain
ed that haliucinatlon that he Is
invincibie. The old gentlemen
r. now said 70 be training for the
return bout in Los Angeles and

ed is some sort OF assurance that
there will be plenty OF custom
ers.
