KEGS, too, have had their
share of absentees. At one
time they we're without Bob Meusel,
Whitley Witt, Wally Schang, Herb
Pennock and Sam Jones. Then Joe
Bush broke a finger, adding to
Higgins tale of woe. Babe Ruth
stayed in the lineup when many an
other weaker man would have been
in bed nursing wrenched ankle.
Everett Scott, baseball "little iron
man." has stayed in the batting or
der when hardly able to move faster
than dog trot because of a char
leyhorse.
Ty Cobb's best alibi for defeat
this year has been the ailing list
of his Detroit Tigers. Lu Blue, Del
Pratt, George Cutshaw, Topper
Rigney and Bobby Jones-the en-
tire infield except Fred Haney-
have all lost games because of sick
ness or injury. Cobb himself, feel
ing the approach of old age, has
had trouble with his back and has
been compelled to curb his fiery
spirit and view the games from the
bench or the coaching lines.
The st. Louis Browns, though

IN SEMI-FINAL CONTEST

NEW YORK. Aug. 4.-Tex Rick
ard, matchmaker for the Polo
Grounds A. c., announced last
night from his office that he had
signed Jack Delaney, of Bridgeport,
and Jock Malone, of st. Paul, for
an eight-round bout as a semi final
to the Johnny Wilson-Harry Greb
bout on the night of August 81.
The star bout will be for the
middleweight championship of the
world, both men being required to
weigh IN at $50 pounds the after
noon of the contest.

This year the victors will be re-
warded with handsome silver low
Ing cups, but The Times proposes
to place in competition four costly
ana mammoth trophies, each en-
olematic Of the championship of
the class it represents. These
trophies will not be given into pos
session of future winners in each
class.
Instead, they will be turned over
TO the United States officer in
charge Of public buildings and
grounds. to be placed upon perma-
nent exhibition at such place or
places as he may select or APP
point. With each succeeding year
the name Of the winner. with date,
will be engraved thereupon. Some
lay they will have a historic sig
Gificance.
Next year in lieu of receiving a
cup winners in each division will
be rewarded with suitable gold
medals, in addition to having his
or her name engraved upon the
permanent championship trophy.
The Times has forwarded to Col.
Clarence o. Sheriff., officer in
charge of Public Buildings and
Grounds, a request that permission
be granted to place in the club
houses at both East Potomac and

the name and date of the winner

The prize list also surpasses any

who have seen the display in the

As a prize to the runner-up The
Times is offering a handsome bak

is a genuine camels-hair sweater,
the contribution of Hecht & Co.
These are not all the prizes to be
awarded the embryo Glenna Collects.
The men, by reason of there be-
ing three classes, have a much
larger prize list. In addition to
the three cups and three pieces of

there will also be awards of clubs,

Injuries Are Common.

II INJURIES are common in base
ball. The thoughtless fan
- sitting in a comfortable seat
has little realization of the wear
and tear on the players in our
modern baseball. Furthermore,
though they look at games day
after day, they never seem to
learn.
When Tommy Connolly, after
comforting with DOME Bush and
Lee Fohl, decided that the field
was too soft Saturday to permit
the second game to go on, many
expressed themselves as having
been robbed" They had already
seen a whole ball game, but
that meant nothing to them.
Perhaps the worst footing for
an athlete in any branch of sport
is soft ground. They easily give
way, rupturing ligaments, tear
ing muscles. Many football in
juries may be traced to this con-
dition, football being game
that stops not for wind or
weather.
That heavy shower Saturday,
while it did not make lakes, it
loosened the ground on the base
paths and especially in the box
and around the plate. Walter
Johnson, had he been compelled
to pitch, might have ruined him
self for the remainder of the sea-
son. The same goes for bats
men COMPELLED to start in the
mud around the plate.
Tommy Connolly showed his
customary excellent judgment
when he refused to permit a con-
tinuance of play. Furthermore,
the empty-headed booing brigade
in the stand counted with him
about as much as a German pfen-
mig, which is as it should be.

Comes an unexpected develop
ment in the Arlington county
championship series. Instead of
Cherrydale, it appears that Ross
Iyn is to be Arlington's rival for
the title.
Anyway, Rosslyn defe a t e d
Cherrydale, to 4, and today is
on the heels of Arlington, which
has won three straight against
two for Rosslyn.
Rosslyn's pitching discovery, Bill
Corcoran, ex-Gob, pitched fair ball.
Rosslyn players declare this youth
will win recognition as bright star
before the season is done.
Vernon Clatterbuck got a poor
start on the mound against Brook
Ign. The latter scored five runs in
the first inning, and the handicap
was too much for Clatterbuck, al
though he held the foe scoreless
thereafter.
Rosslyn surprised itself by win
ming i'm the first inning. In many
games played by this team, vic.
tory has come toward the end. In
so many games, in fact, that Ross
Ign, the players say, felt queer
when those five runs battered
across the pan as a starter.
Brookmont is the only team yet
to win a game in the county series,
and has lost three. Carlyn Spring
slammed the Brookmonts, IL to 8,
at Glen Carlyn, and then took
trip to Arlington and was whipped
by the leader, 10 to l.
Out in Maryland, the Prince
George county sandlot champion
ship competition has narrowed to
Mt. Rainier and the Maryland A. G.
These teams are expected to clash
next Sunday in the first of a series
of three games. The Prince George
county series is not organized, but
the games have been decided clean
ly and there has been no trouble.
When a champion finally has
been settled, a series between the
Prince George county and Airing
ton county titIe-winners will be
nlayed. Plans call for a cham
niOnship series between the win
ner of the Virginia Maryland Sc
T.ies and the champion independent
team of Washington.
There is talk, too, of reviving the
inter-city games between Washing
ton and Richmond. In the old days
they were big stuff for the sand
letters, but the war halted them. 1t
was hoped to arrange a series with
Richmond a year ago, but the sand

He would make them impotent to cor
rect injustice or protest against
wrong.
Collective bargaining means more
than wages and hours. 1t is a unity
that begets confidence and equips
workers for every activity that should
interest good citizens.
When production was in the crude
and laborious stage, individual bar
banning would suffice. But not in an
age of machine production and absen-
tee ownership. Despite the excuses
that surround it, individual bargain
ing does not make for willing associ-
ates in industry. 1t develops autoc-
racy at one end of production and de
pendents at the other end
AS our country becomes more and
more an industrial nation this prob
lem becomes more acute. 1t affects
every citizen because there is no pros
pect of industrial harmony while cap
tains of industry maintain their anti
union attitude that employees shall be
denied the right to present grievances
collectively.
No citizen can escape the influence
of this vicious system that ofen con-
trolls government, degrades the ju-
dietary and denies constitutional
rights to wage workers who would
resist the serf practices of employers.
There is no constructive program
more important than this demand of
labor to control their lives. This de-
mand is the first essential in any pol
icy that would bring industrial con-
cord and social peace.

BRAIN WORKERS.
UNIONS GROW
FAST in EUROPE

By International Labor News Service
London.-Unions of brain workers
are growing rapidly in Europe
Authors, newspaper writer's, artists.
musicians, lawyers, engineers, govern
ment workers and others are more
and more tending to organize. Now if
is believed there are two million in
tellectual workers organized in
Europe.
In Great Britain, doctors and law
yers have organizations which resem-
bic trade unions in many respects.
There are somewhat similar organi-
cations among chartered accountants
and engineers. Newspaper writer's
have two organizations, one of which
is affiliated with the Trade Union
Congress.
The National Federation of Law
Clerks, open to all members of law
firms who have not begun to practice.
IS trade union. So is the National
Union of Teachers, with member
ship of 100000. Another trade union,
the National Union of Scientific Work
ers, represents all branches of scien-
tiic work.
In France, number of syndicates
or trade unions have been formed by
professional societies. In turn these
unions have formed the Confederation
of Intellectual Workers, which COM
prises all professional organizations.
The confederation is active in work
ing for the benefit of the associations
of which it is composed.
