AS THE EDITOR SEES IT.

We make rapid strides in this
country, and as soon as one stride is
completed we start off on another.
A year or two ago the aeroplane
was the whole thing. Now it is but
an incident in our daily life. 1t has
ceased to thrill
The all absorbing topic today is
the radiophone, the latest wireless
invention.
You know all about it = how you
place an instrument in the house,
stick a receiver up in the top of a
tree, and then sit back and listen to
market reports or concert being
given a thousand miles away. You
may even dance to the latest popular
pieces if you desire, or you can listen
to sermon instead of going to
church.
Even the officials of the University
of Wisconsin have got the bug, and
are arranging to educate the public
by wireless.
It's a great stunt. What will the
next one be?

LACK PITCHERS
IN ST.L0U|S
Both Cards and Browns Trying to
Win Pennants Without Any
Real Stars.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
New York, Aug. 15.-The st.
Louis Browns and the ST. Louis
Cards are trying to win cham
pionship without so-called star
pitcher on either team. There are
not many stars left for any club
and neither of the St. Louis mines
possesses bangup, well versed,
sound armed and proved blue rib
bon tosser.
The bulk of the work for the
Browns has fallen on two players,
neither of whom is 600 per cent
man. Yet credit by the PEACEFUL
should be given to both of them for
what they have undertaken. Shock
er, who has figured in more than
thirty games, is only a $50 winner.
He might have been better off if he
had not attempted so often to turn
back the Yanks, but he would have
his way and pitch. He did and the
Yanks slithered him.
Van Glider. who has been the
man in harness with Shocker, has
been in more than twenty-five
games and has winning percent
age of .591. If by some turn of
fate the Browns could make both
of these men .625 winners they
might boom along to the penna'nt.
kolp, who has been pitched only
when his strength warranted it, is
the best winner on the team with
bis percentage of 1863 for 10 vic
tories and three defeats. Davis
has worked out through II games
with seven victories and four de-
feats and a percentage of .636 but
1t will be noted that he cannot be
pushed too much. Wright for a
. few games is a .667 winner and
Bayne .2S6 loser. That's very low
Lee Fohl thought Bayne was
coming through this year. Las
spring he counted upon his de,
velopment as one of the big fac
tors for possible success. Danforth
too. was reckoned as good for NOR,
than dozen victories but afte,
winning five and losing two he ha.
been suddenly dropped and a yer,
good possibility is lost. Pruet
went so we'll for a while that tn,
Browns figured they had caught ;
wonder. His winning percentag,
is only ASS now. The wonder day,
are postponed until 1923.
!; What seems to menace tn,
Browns is that their pitchers ar,
what are known as tender" Tn,
majority OF them cannot be pushed
II they are at their limit, as seem,
to be the case, will they be able I,
stand a challenge from the yam
kee pitchers who are apt to hay,
more In reserve when crowded? 1
Is more than likely that the Ameri
can league pennant is going to han,
on that one point.

Chicago, Aug. 15.-(By the As

by which clubs have been literally
wrecked and pennant contendsn

trades of players, are doomed to g
the way of the spit-ball and othsr
discarded customs of ORGANIZED
baseball, if National and American
leagues magnates hold the notions
expressed at yesterdays contab
with Commissioner X. NJ. Lands.
Although no changes in the rules
will be made until the next annual
meeting, sentiment among the club
owners was so strong against hle
season transactions that revisions
of the baseball code to advance The
time limit on sales and trades BE-
tween major league clubs are vli.
tually assured when the basebal
laws are overhauled.
Criticism of late season transac
tons reached its most intsns'

champions, and the tail-end BostoI

WILSON TITLE
TO ROSENBERG
IN NEW. YORK
Creb May Kick at
Action of the Com
mission.
BY FAIR PLAY.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
New York, Aug. 15.-Before long,
Harry Greb, no doubt, will begin
to drop hints to the effect that it
is a disgrace to boxing that Dave
Rosenberg should be acclaimed by
the New York State Boxing COM
mission as middleweight boxing
champion of the world. Greb re-
fused to make application with the
New York boxing commission for
chance at the title and SO Rosen-
berg and Phil krug, the young
Newark sluggers, were permitted
Is rounds in which to straighten
out the situation.
When Greb gets around to seek
ing the New York title. it would
seem that he will have easy going,
unless Rosenberg learns something
more about hitting than he showed
In his 15-round mill with Krug.
+! The latter had little more defense
than a humming bird, but Rosen-
berg could not make him stop
swapping punches. So far as Ros-
enberg's offense was concerned it
appeared to rest entirely upon the
! theory that II fighter crouching
low with one hand covering his
nose will rush, his opponent and
keep boring in with his free hand
at the other fellows midriff he can
win out. This may have been true
in the days Of the 45-round 60. but
it isn't enough to stop an ordinary
husky man in Is rounds.
There was considerable booing
during the Rosenberg Ktug go. AT
times it looked as II the boys we're
deliberately missing. Certainly
neither Of them know much about
long range boxing. Billy McCar-
sney. supervising genius for Rosen-
berg. had . conner in Luther Nc
sCarthy, who was killed in &c
with Arthur Pelky some years back
at the other fellows midrifY, he can
Rosenberg will ever grow up to be
: possible contender for Dempsey
however. Rosenberg is we'll bull,
and when the fight is going his way
makes great furry but he isn't

ROSENBERG Is
A "SYNTHETIC"
BOXING CHAMP

New York, Aug. 15.-Dave Rosen-
berg of Brooklyn, last night became
the first synthetic" worlds box
inng champion.
Legally he became the worlds
middleweight champion in New
York State" and just an outsider
in the other Al states, to say moth
ing of the remainder Of the CONT
nent, or Europe, Asia, Africa and
the Antipodes.
Johnny Wilson, Of Boston, re-
mains the king bee in all of these
other places.
Rosenberg gained his long,
hyphenated title by beating into a
pulp Phil Krug, of Harrison, N. j.,
who had challenged the Brooklyn
lite when the state boxing commits
sion pronounced Wilson passe be-
cause he refused the amount of
money offered him to box Rosen-
berg. Harry Greb of Pittsburgh had
challenged Wilson first, but he de-
clined to drink the commission
connection after he had been led
to the trough.

BIG THREE NOT
TO DELAY GRID
PRACTICE WORK
Harvardps Announce.
rney1t Assurance of
This.
BY WALTER CAMP.

All fears that Harvard, Yale and
Princeton would do away with pre-
liminary football practices as re.
suit of influences higher up may
now be abandoned. Harvard's an.
nouncement that she will start
practice on Sept. Is will be followed
by similar announcements by her
fellow members of the big three.
Whatever. may be said of prelim-
mary practice, the great point is
this: 1t would be sheer folly to
throw unframed and unconditional
men into gridiron scrimmage with
out preparation. 1t is reported that
the illness of 'Prangle of Yale
which set in immediteIy after COM
mencement has held up the pro-
posed conference of big three pres.
idents. What they will do wher
they finally get together is not
will ask their athletes to play sc
will ask their thletes to play sc

tioning.
