BOTH LEAGUES
DRAW MORE
To CATE

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE base
ball world outside of New York
was highly wrought up at the
beginning of the season over the
probability of the Giants and the
Yankees winning the major league
pennants for third time. They
predicted that New York's monopoly
Of victory would dull baseball enthu-
siasm in other cities on both circuits.
AS matter Of fact, although the
two New York clubs have been set
ting the pace in both leagues, the at
tendance in both leagues has been
greater than last year.
After the Giants clean sweep in
Cincinnati against the Reds, it looks
as if there is little doubt about the
Giants repeating. The YANKEES, with
their big lead, should have a much
easier time winning again.
The Giants have the seVerest part
of their schedule ahead of them, but
the ability of McGraw's club to win
it's critical games leaves little doubt
about where the Giants will finish.
Nothing short of a complete Grip
ping of the club can prevent the
Yankees from winning the American
League flag.
So New Workers are naturally ex-
pecting that the world series will be
played here in October, just as they
predicted when the season opened.
Local rivalry will run high, and with
the Improvement of the Yankees this
season and their unquestioned SUI
periority in their own league, the
American League partisans will look
for victory if it is played here.
There is this to be said for world
series played in New York this fall.
More fans will be able to witness the
games than ever before, and New
York will draw the fans from a much
wider territory than if the games
were played in other cities.
With a seating capacity of $4,000
or more at the new Yankee Stadium,
and with an enlarged capacity Of
so 900 or more at the Polo Grounds,
IT is not going to be as difficult for
visitors from other cities to obtain
tickets as it has been in the past.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 13.-The
boxing spotlight, which has been
darting about from Boyle's Thirty
Acres to the Yankee stadium to
the Polo Grounds these past few
weeks, tonight focuses on the Phila-
delphia National League ball park
here, where Luis Angel Firpo, the
South American heavyweight, will
endeavor to stop in fast time
Charley Weinert, of Newark.
That's all Luis has to accomplish.
That's all that is expected Of him.
Should he fail, there is reason to
believe that many will rise up and
say mean things about the world 8
championship encounter in which
Luis is one of the principals and
Jack Dempsey the other.
Following so closely upon his fail
ure to put away Homer Smith, the
absence Of the Firpo knockout wal

cause the remark: $50 this is the

The profits derived from the killing
of these cetaceans are enormous, and
they increase yearly as the retail price
