For several years now the cur
rent has set in toward the metrop-
oils. The very makeup Of the
two teams, the Giants and
Yankees, proves this beyond argu-
ment. Every effort has been
made, for instance, by the Giants
to build up strong team at the
expense of the Braves and
Phillies, not to mention the Reds.
The Yankees have been
strengthened at the expense of
the Red Sox until today they are
practically the old Boston cham
pionship aggregation.
The metropolis has demanded
the strongest teams. It has them.
And this situation is bringing its
own punishment.
Speaking only of the American
League, it : is being shown from
day to day that in every city out
side of Philadelphia, where the
Mackmen have put new life into
the fans, the followers Of the
game have decided that it is all
over but the shouting.
In Boston the fans sit and raZz
Frank Chance and Fred Mitchell,
and not many Of those same fans
turn out, either. The Griffs drew
about 1000 on a Saturday from
a population Of approximately
1000, 900. /
The Reds went home the other
day and played to a handful.
They occupy a similar position to
that held by the Griffmen.
iris Speaker, under whose
powerful leadership the Indians
achieved the only pennant ever
seen in Cleveland, has been hooted
by his home fans.
st. Louis fans get most Of their
baseball via the sports pages of
their favorite papers. Those
going to the parN jeer the home
team as much as they do the
visitors.
The White Sox are attracting
few big crowds, partly owing to
falling off in Comiskey's per-
sonal popularity and partly II the
general situation facing" the
game.
In Detroit the interest is being
maintained fairly we'll, but with
the Tigers slipping badly fears
are held out for the future.

writers severely criticized
Connie Mack for having .

But even il they do, It is doubt
full If New York alone can stand
the strain Of carrying six other
clubs in the league. And this
threatens to be the case before
July has gone. @
It will not do for the magnates
to close their eyes to the situa-
ton. It does no good merely to
deny things everybody knows to
exist. Indeed, it savors Of an
absence of common sense. The
other fellow frequently does
know something.
The Giants are said to have a
woefully weak pitching staff, yet
they are well out in front. This
argues poorly for the rest of the
league.
The Yankees, with the best
pitching staff in the league and
a collection Of sluggers behind
them, are running wild.
Is it any wonder that baseball
fans outside Of New York and
Philadelphia have tired of paying
hard money to watch exhibitions?

NEW YORK, August "a. - Two
schools kids, Helen Wills, the IL
year-old newly crowned queen of
the tennis world, and Bobby Jones,
the 21-year-old king of golfdom,
hold the most popular and most
sought for titles in the United
States and the world.
There is much to be likened in
the efforts of these two and more
to be admired in their logged at
tempts to gain these coveted
crowns.
Their professions to their respec-

How the love Of noble hearted

The photography of the vast ex-
