II Rounds.
BIZ WESTBROOK PEGLER,

NEW YORK, July 27-As the right
ers rest awaiting the hour to weigh
in for the richest championship battle
ever promoted at weights below the

populace has forgotten temporarily
that the horses are running at En-
pire City and that the New York and
ST. Louis Clubs in both leagues are
at each others threats in contests
for the pair of pennants.

While some of the Chicago recruits,

HolloCher is a great ball player. He
has the old fighting spirit that keeps

mighty dangerous.

No player on the Cincinnati club
has done better work for the Reds this
year than George Burns.
Burns has taken the place of Eddie
Roush, Cincinnati favorite, and filed

have missed him greatly.
Burns was obtained by Cincinnati
from New York last winter in a trade
that took Heine Grob to the Giants.

No Age Limit

The tourney is open to all teams not
affiliated with leagues Of the city anna
teur association. There is no age
limit, but due to the class of teams
entered in the two previous tourna-
ments, 1t is hardly an event for the
junior mines of the city TO compete in.
When all entries are received a
meeting OF managers will be called
and the rules of the tournament dis
cussed. At that time managers will
be asked to file the names Of their
players.
Each club is permitted fifteen play
ers. and additions or changes can not
be made after the player roster is filed
with the tournament directors.
Last season thirty-two teams com
peted in the event.
