 "Then, there's St. Louis, too-I'd look well in a Brown uniform and Manager Sisler is such a peach--and just think, I've never been to St. Louis, either And I haven't been to Chicago since the White Sox were Black, and Speaker has spoken to me many times about a return engagement in Cleveland.
 Altogether, it reminds me a lot of the situation in 1908 when Detroit, St Louis and Cleveland were only a game apart with two games left to play Whichever manager succeeds in getting me, I'm sure it's going to be very ex- citing! I'm so thrilled!'

A FEW HOOKS AND SLICES

Quoting Munchausen Muggs, the champion liar of the Missaputta club, "I've played golf in every kind of cos tune from pajamas to soup-and-hsh, and I've reached the conclusion, after years of experimentalizing-hot dog, that's a good word; that's ten-dollar word-reached the conclusion that the ideal garb for the R. and A. game is suit of medieval armor. On municipal course it's almost a necessity. A suit of armor protects you from flying golf balls its weight slows you up and keeps you from swinging too hard; the metal plates hold your left arm stiff; the heavy helmet keeps your head down the stiffness of the suit holds you erect and keeps your body from swaying and the creaking and squeaking of the metal joints help to worry your op- pOnent. What more could you ask! Patent applied for, I'm gonna open a factory and start manufacturing golf armor. It's a big proposition, boys. Better get in on the ground floor. Buy your stock now Line forms on the right. Don't shove"

 AQUATIC MEET
Americans Take Nine Events To Score
 70 Points

HARROW ON N-THE-HILL, England, July 26.-(By Associated Press J. America's aquatic stars, fresh from their overwhelming victory in the Olympic games at Paris. today de- feated the best of the British Empires water sports performers with as much ease as Uncle Sam's track and field athletes had worsted their British rivals at Stamford Hill a week ago when the Americans won Il events and the Brit ish three.
 The Americans today took nine events Britain's men and women performers accounted for two events and piled up 30 points.
 No worlds records were broken in the first event, the 110-yard, free-style for women, it was noticed that Miss Mariechen Wehselau, America's only entrant in this event, was making the pace very warm for her rivals from the very beginning of the sprint When she finally touched the rail three yards ahead of her nearest rival, she had equalled her own worlds record for the distance of one minute 12 2-5 seconds. Andrew Charlton, Australia, was not seriously troubled in the 440-yard event and he always seemed to have the measure of Lester Smith of San Fran cisco, his nearest rival
 The best race of the afternoon and the one which caused the most enthusi- asm among the small group of Ameri- can spectators was the 440-yard team race for women, each competitor swim ming 110 yards.
 The first pair, Miss Euphrasia Don nelly of Indianapolis, and Miss Tanner finished their course in dead heat but Miss Mackenzie soon established a lead for the British swimmers and this was increased by Miss Shand, who swan against Miss Margaret Ra- vior of Philadelphia.
 Miss Cant, Great Britain's last swim mer, had lead of nearly four yards at the beginning of the final lap and 1t looked as though she would have a walk away but Miss Wehselau just ploughed her way through the water and at half of the distance had reduced the lead of her opponent to about one yard. The England woman began to tire after this and despite her early exertions, Miss Wehselau gained on her opponent at every stroke and finally won easily.
 Those who were disappointed at not seeing Great Britain pitted against the United States at water polo in the Olympic games had their desire ful- filled today. The final stay of two to one was in favor of the Americans
