The Griffmen have three more
games at home before hitting the

morrow the Cleveland Indians will
hover around the Capital. Connie

of their regular Sunday exhibitions.
That will be the last big league game
here until Sunday, August 13, when
the New York Yankees will be the

The Griffs have now completed ex.
actly 100 double plays. They put

inning yesterday, Peck to Harris to

Griffs have a long lead over all other
big league teams.

Fans Are Waking Up.

n VIDENTLY the fans Of the
H. big town are waking up to
the true inwards of the
ballyhyoo that has had Miller Hug
gins a baseball genius and each
and every member of his team a
superman in some line or other.
First the clay feet Of Babe Ruth
appeared. Then it dawned upon
New York that Sam Jones, Waite
Hoyt and Carl Mays were merely
human. Gradually the fans be-
came aware Of the fact that Hug
gins had little or no control Of his
splendiferous collection Of diamond
marvels.
Now New York realizes that the
kings Of the grassy sward may
lose to a collection of castoffs in
Chicago, to a misfit gang in De-
troit, or to a number of ordinary
players surrounding the great
firstsacker in st. Louis.
There is small sympathy around
the American League for the
Yankee owners. Rupert and Hus-
ton have poured out money to make
a winner. They riddled the Red
Sox and ruined what was one Of
the best baseball cities in the land
to land the 1921 pennant and went
right back after more Boston play
ers to make 1t two straight.

FREDDY WELSH .
BELIEVES LEW :
HAS A LOoK-|N
Has Respect for Leonard. Tenn
pered With Regard for
Tenders Ability.
By DAVIS j. WALSH.

NEW YORK, July 21.--If Leonard
was not Leonard, which is equivalent
to saying IL a rattle snake was only
a desirable bed fellow, Lew Tender
would be the surest thing for the
lightweight championship since
Cans beat Nelson in their first
scrap, according to the views OF
Freddie Welsh, former holder Of the
title. As It is, Freddie Is not alto.
gether certain that Tender won't win
anyhow when the men meet a week
from tonight.
The writer interviewed Welsh on
the subject today at his health
farm, Summit, N. J., where the over
grown watst line is made svelte and
modish and found that Freddie re-
garded the impending issue as
meeting OF two of the greatest
lightweights the game ever knew,
with little to choose between them.
Freddie has a wholesome respect
for the man who tipped him off the
lightweight pedestal some years ago.
But this respect Is tempered by the
belief that Tender has both ability
and the will to win.
Tender Is easily the best man
Leonard has faced since becoming
champion, perhaps the best he has
ever met" Is the way Welsh ex.
pressed his views on the fight. He
is not only a great hitter, but has
proved time and again that he has
that indefinable something that dis
tinguishes a champion from the rest
Of the field.
Then, his unorthodox style of
fighting, regardless of what Leora.d
thinks about It, will bother the
champion. You know left handlers
are SO few that the orthodox fighter
seldom has much experience against
them. I, myself, never fought
southpaw and 1 was in the ring for
about fifteen years.
II believe Leonarl will have no
trouble at all in doing 1876 pounds
at 2'o'clock, but I also think that he
fights better at catch weights.
Tenller, on the other hand, is
young bull at the weight.
IF the weight weakens a fighter,
he notices 1t above all else in the
lack OF sting his pounches carry. II
Leonard's punches are not as heavy
as usual he will never drop Tender"
Then you think II Is a toss-up
between them?" I asked him.
well, no. wouldn't mind saying
that about anybody but Leonard. l
think he Is as good as any light
weight that ever lived. That puts
II up to Tender to prove that he is
the greatest and he is hardly that"
I asked him one more question,
to wit: Would the bout go the limit?
He thought 1t would.

BILL TIlDEN HAS TASK
OF KEEPING CONDITION

Last week at Providence Champ
ion Bill Tilden in administering a de.
cisive defeat to Vincent Richards
flashed some of the best tennis he
has ever played. He seemed to be
at the top of his game.
Tilden's task now will be to keep
for the big events which are to come
next month and early in September.
While he is entered in several OF the
tournaments leading up to the Davis
Cup finals and the national cham.
pionship. It Is not likely that he
will compete in all Of them.
He will have to guard against the
danger Of going stale. It is one thing
to get in top form. but It is a more
difficult problem to hold that form
over a period Of time.

Cean-Up Is Coming.


II VIDENTLY, even though VIC
H. torious for the second time,
there will be a wholesale
cleanup in the house Of Rupert
and Huston ere another campaign
gets under way.
Miller Huggins seems doomed to
lose his official head. Carl Mays,
Waite Hoyt and Sam Jones,
pitchers, are booked for the auction
block.
Frank Baker is expected to re-
tire. Here and there other players
will be sold or traded to whatever
clubs care to take chances with
them. The Cleveland club is said
to have declined to consider taking
Carl Mays under any condition.
All-star teams have seldom been
successful. The Yanks' triumph
lost year came close to establishing
a record. But if this all-star team
falls down this year, and there is
a chance that it may, there will be
no all-star team in the league when
the 1928 season starts on It's way.
Which will be fine thing for base
ball everywhere.

Sportiand Heights arena promoters
who have been trying for the past
week to S-ing Frankie Rice, the Bal

about this marvel and that hero.
1t is rather disquieting to see
these wizards and marvels and
geniuses taking the backwash Of a
iowly st. Louis club, which by all
the laws Of the Medes and Per-
SLAMS should be in the cellar.
The Yankees still rule favorite
to win the 1923 pepnant, though
the margin is shrinking with the
weeks. But if the Yanks fail, there
will be such an explosion along
Broadway that the Hudson tube
will crack under the strain, the
Croton dam will fail and flood the
metropolis, and even. Buffalo's
main street will open to engulf

Joe Villa, q veteran metropoii-
tan scribe who can remember the
color of Mickey, Welch's hair, tore
off a description Of the Yankees
weaknesses the other day. He
classed Mike McNally as a good
minor Lacquer, Aaron Ward a
"bust" as a hitting infielder,
Schang as a mechanical catcher
lacking the brains of Schalk, Perk-
ins and Steve O'Neill, Baker all in
and down and out, and Babe Ruth
as a conceited flash in the pan. He
also paid his respects to the much
advertised pitching staff along
the same vein. 1t was good.
Now comes the following de-
scription from the staid and con-
servative New York Times:
"Ten of the Yankees hit safely,
counting Babe Ruth, who got q
single. But in the pinches Her
man was there. Not even Ruth
could touch him. The Bambino
famed twice, and two other times
he rolled to the infield with men

Corn and Potato
show

Northern Montana Corn & Pota-
to Snow to b. held at Malta on
November 9-10-1I are progress
ing rapidly and from the active
interesf being manifested in the
Show by people generally thru
out the northern portion of the
state it is evident that there will
be several hundred entries ard
that competition will run close
in all classes. Interest in the
Show is running high in all por-
tons of the Northern Montana
~terrstory and with the ready CO.
operation Of all forces it is pre-
dicted that the Corn & Potato
Show will be one Of the biggest
agricultural events that has ever
taken place in northern Montana.
The Show is being sponsored by
northern Montana county agents
as representatives of the Exten-
sion Service of the State College
who are working in cooperation
with the business men of Malta
and other northern Montana
towns in putting it across.
A three days program on which
will appear some of the foremost
agricultural authorities i the
Northwest is being prepared and
it is expected that this program
together with the Show itself
will attract large crowds from
al directions. The Great North
ern Railway has granted special
reduced rates to and from Malta
for November 9th to 18th, inclu-
sive.
That northern Montana can
successfully grow corn and that
it can be absolutely depended
upon as a feed crop year after
year has been we'll demonstrated
both by the work Of experiment
stations and by the practical ex-
perience Of farmers in the field
and the first Corn Show to be
held in northern Montana aims
at what remains to be done-tO
before those interested in
corn the best information av-
ailable on corn culture and to
demonstrate to all classes OF
people the important part that
his crop is designed to play on
Montana farms and the
lesirability of its more wide
use as a means OF bring
ng about permanent agriculture.
t is pointed out that it is not the
to increase beyond rea-
on the total acreage but rather
o improve methods and to in
.rease the acreage to the point
hat can be properly handled by !
he average farmer. +,
Practically all forces in north
rn Montana are now agreed that {
he production of a dryland feed
rop that can be depended upon
!, the key to livestock and diver
fled farming and is the one
actor that will bring about
ornament and prosperous agri-
alture. Corn, heretofore grown
MY on the part of cranks has
roven it's value in a particial

on to know feel that the acre
pc of this crop should be limited
nly by the amount that the ave-
age farmer can properly handle

Offers to Lease Islands

Madison--If anyone in Wisconsin
would like an island Tor summer home,
the state conservation commission an
nounced Thursday it has 500 of them
to let in the northern lakes of the state.
Already 100 of the 600 wooded islands
granted to the state in 1913 have been
leased by the commission to individuals
for five-year periods. The cost to the
lessee is nominal and conditions of the
lease merely prohibits the cutting of
green timber, sale of intoxicating liq,
nor and agreement that every precau-
ton will be taken to avoid fire.
C. L. Harrington, conservation com.
missioner in charge of forestry, said
most of the islands are especially att
ractive for summer homes Scattered a
mong the hundreds of beautiful lakes
ia the northern part of the state they
are reported to offer ideal camping
sites.
