THE MAN WHO STICKS

The man who sticks has his lesson learned;
Success does not come by chance--its earned
BY pounding away; for good hard knocks
Will make stepping stones of the stumbling
blocks.
He does not expect by single stride
To jump to the front; he is satisfied
To do every day his level best
And let the future take care of the rest.
For the man who sticks has the sense to see
He can make himself what he wants to be
If he'll off with his coat and pitch right in.
Why? Because the man who sticks can't help
but win Exchange.

 Title Once More
WASHINGTt

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. G. Capt. T. K. Lee, of Birmingham, Ala, wins the 100-yard small-bore rifle cham pionship of the N. R. A. in the national contest just concluded. His score of 30Sx4O0 was tied by Thomas, of New York, but Lee out-ranked Thomas by having more center shots. 128 entries finished, with F not completing their score. Scores of first ten men follow T. K. Lee, Birmingham .........30S J. V. Thomas, New York ....... .39S W. M. Hire, Ohio ..............3D .3D4 E. F. Burkins, Delaware ........ .394 J. D. Poland, Ohio ..............3 394 o. H.

 This shooting is done at S10o yards, using .22 caliber rifles, and ten ring measures 2 in diameter.
 Lee also won the Individual Small Bore championship; which includes the scores at 50 and 100 yards combined. totaling 795x800. Mayberry, of Iowa, 2d 791; Poland, Ohio Sd 7SS Girkout fourth, from Canal Zone 7S7; Laugh cry, of Pennsylvania, 5th with 786.
 Seventy competitors completed their score in the match. Entries this year more than doubled those of last year, which is added proof of the great ly increased interest in rifle shooting as a natural sport. Scores made today are far ahead of those of a few years back. due more to the finer equipment in the way of arms and ammunition than was available in the past.

MATTY, CONNIE LOVE BASEBALL Only Major MOguls Who Care Much About
 Winning
By WEsTBROOK PEGLER By Leased Wire to Age.Herald)

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.--As a rule the gentleman who owns a block of shares in a major league ball club has a remedy for that seasick sensa- tion which steals over his quivering frame when the team falls off the cornice of the league and lands in the cistern. He can avert his eyes from the score-board, shun the percent age column and seat himself in the um- brageous cool of the catacombs beneath the grandstand, there to be soothed by the musical thrum of the turnstiles.
 Harry Frazee, when he owned the Boston Red Sox, used this treatment and he is able to recommend it highly cs he never was seasick even when his ball club cracked the bottom of the American league, to say nothing Oi ell prior records of defeat. Mir. Baker of the Phillies and MT. Phil Ball, who derives all dividends from the St. Louis Browns, are other owners who never seemed to fail in health as long as the turnstiles made music to divert them.
 In general, the owners of the ball clubs are men of such temperament that they do not care who makes the nations scores if they can make the profits and not many of them expire from sporting excitement.
 Mack, Matty Sports
 And yet one suspects that two ma jor league club owners of 1924 can not be entirely consoled even by the symphany of the cash-registers.
 Christy Mathewson is one and Con. nie Mack is the other.
 hnkkauyenv, Inac IaaF,ica On the contrary he has always been slightly Firpo in this respect And Mack has never been a wine-agent with his money.
 But Matty has been q sick man for a long time and the greatest thing in life to him has been his reputation as an athlete, a champion, and the ideal of the American kid. Last year he recruited some backing-it was even suspected that John J. McGraw found it for himSand took control of the Boston Braves. They were guar anteed loser in bleomer girls league as they were made up when Mathewson got them, but McGraw was still will ing to help Matty. He sent him Beauty Bancroft, the shortstOp and captain of the Giants. Casey Stengel, the old but Agile. outfielder, who had just won two world series games for the Giants with home runs, and Bill Cunningham, another outfielder. of good reputation.

 In League

The worlds champion Yankees tied Cleveland during the past week for bat ting honors at .296. The prediction was made at the opening of the season that there would be no team averages of 300 or more at the close. of the season and with the continued rising effective ness of the pitchers it appears that this guess may have been correct.
 Babe Ruth has been on batting rampage and added 15 points to his average and at this writing is tied with the National leader, Hornsby, at .403. Bib Falk, hts also batted steadily hay ing added three points and has sup planted Archdeacon in second place with a mark of 1882.

Driven to the wall by the persistent backward push of Dan Murray's scin- tillating all around game and Mills Newton's steady, consistent play, Allen Huggins mad Robert Craig, crashed in the last set of their match Saturday as crashes the tree the woOdman fails to spare. The cave-in was the effect of the latter's splendid uphill struggle to win the fourth ste, and placed them losers in the double finals of the Cot score was 4-6, 6-2, 6-2, 6-3, 6-1.
 In the semi-finals in the morning Craig and Huggins had come through magnificently, rallying' against Simpson and Mooney in brilliant style to win in straight sets, 7-5, 7-5, GA. In each set they were on the short end. In the first and second they were 5-2 down, only to win five consecutive encounters and cop the sets. In the deciding one they were Az losing when they swung into another spectacular streak and copped 6-4.
 Craig's cannon ball service was a big factor and his terrific smashing game was as valuable for its moral effect as for the actual points it won.
 Time after time his sizzling returns drew the Atlanta pair in to the net and then Huggins or Craig flopped a lob in just the right spot to win. Both the Louisiana entries were at the top Of their game during the big spurts and tbey played the finest doubles game of the entire meet when they were both right.
 Mooney and Simpson did excellently to make the count close as they did. They wore themselves out trying for we'll nigh impossible chances and the Jew they succeeded in returning far from made up for the effort wasted.

A AMERICA TO HAVE
 GREAT POLO TEAM
Captain Creed Writes Special Series Of Articles 5 For Age-F 4erald On Coming Matches

There is no weak spot in Milburn't makeup. In .generalship. in horseman. ship, in hitting, in his knowledge of team work, in his wonderful command Oyei the ball, he is without peer in th, world. &
 Webb A Star
 Next to him, in my estimation, comei Watson Webb. He is as great con trast in style to the brilliant AIilburr as could be imagined. He Is left-hand ed player-the last of the Ieft-handers for no player starting today is allowed to play left-handed-an he is as unob trusive a player as AIilburn is s6ectacu. lar. Webb is beautiful horseman with wonderful hands," always On the best of terms with his ponies who serve him like a machine, a tremendous asset in a game where the efficiency of the pony is all-important. Webb is a quick and accurate hitter who can strike the ball at any angle and control it in the de. sired direction. In the crucial final shot at goal he may be relied upon to hit the target more often than the next man. He has been left out of the national team in some of the trial matches, presumably for experimental purposes, for if Amer ica has team which can do without Watson Weeb it has the hottest array which ever came from any country.
 Hitchcock Sure
 Thomas Hitchcock established a rec ord for youth when he played for his country on the victorious team of 1921 at the age of q. He is the most power ful hitter in polo today and is an equally vigorous rider. He must have wonder. fully strong wrists and forearms for he gets punch" into his shot which en- ables him to out-drive all other players. On his day out his hitting is brilliant in the extreme. He is a hard worker who puts in all he knows for his side and he is seldom out of action for many seconds at time. He steps on the gas consistently. ... t..
 Malcolm Stevenson has been on the edge of the national team ever since 1911 without ever actually winning his place. He is fine horseman and q ster- ling player and if he were to make the team this year his success would be well-deserved and popular.
 Pedley A Newcomer '4
 Eric Pedley is newcomer to eastern polo. He halls from California, where he has made his mark not only at polo but at.boxing, track athletics, lawn ten his and golf. He is a fine all-arOund ath- lete. He has been showing brilliant form in the trial matches. He is a light hearted vivaeious player whom it is pleasure to watch. He is only 2S years old 50 he ought to have great future in front of him, for polo players wear well comma rafl to thnsa vi,ho ,,arfoka i,, other violent games. Milburn, for in- stance, is 43 years of age.
 As regards pony power, I have never seen such wonderful collection of ponies as are at the service of the American team-the. cream of the worlds supply skinned with admirable judgment and regardless of expense.
 It is safe to say that the 1924 na- tional American team will have nothing to fear in comparison with those which have entered the lists in times gone by. Many of the ponies which will play at Meadowbrook are worth $1OI000 apiece.

Stewart And Marriott Tied In Stolen Bases
 Including Thursday Game

The Carlyles still have it as leading hitters in the Southern Association ac- cording to averages compiled to include games of Thursday, Aug. 2. For Car lisle (Red) Smith, of Atlanta is first, as he has been for some time with the stout mark of 388 while Roy Carlyle, of Memphis, is second at 373, fifteen points below the Atlanta veteran.
 Guyon, Little Rock, .356, Burrus, Atlanta, .350 and D. Anderson, Chat- tanooga, .345 follow in order. Paschal, Atlanta, figures prominent ly with batting average of $40, 104 runs, tied with Murray, Nashville, as leading scorer, and fifteen home runs, being second to J. Anderson, who has 19.
 Stewart Has SC
 J. Stewart has stolen 38 bases and Marriott, of Mobile, has an equal mum ber, which is noteworthy record in these times though such figures would have been scorned decade ago.
 krehmeyer, with 28 sacrifices and J. Bates with 26 have sacrificed the most times.

 NEW YORK, Aug, S.--As the oppos- | ing forces mobilize and prepare for the battle, public interest tightens in the Forthcoming international polo matches, dated for September 6, 10 and 1S at Meadowbrook, Long Island.
 The American players went into strong practice at Meadowbrook on July IA and have been trying out vari- ous combinations for the national team in full-dfess rehearsals three times q week. N.+@

 Wales To Attend
 The prince of Wales, who when he leaves Southampton on the Berengaria, will transform himself into private in dividual called Lord Renfrew, will reach Long Island on Aug. %. He is said to De bringing a string of polo ponies with him. There is no more enthusiastic player and it may be taken for granted that he will play hard while he is a vis- itor on Long Island. In his love for the game be takes after his father, who, when he was in the royal navy, was as keen player as his son is today.
 The result of the trial games at Meadowbrook is that the American na- tionaI team will probably be chosen from the following five players: De- vereux Milburn, T. Watson Webb, Tom my Hitchcock, Malcolm Stevenson and Erie Pedley.
 Three Vetsrans
 The first three named played in the team which lifted the cup from England at Birmingham, London, in 1921. And in these trial matches they have all shown that they retain their best form. Devereux AIilburn, affectionately known among his polo friends as "the doc" is certainly the greatest polo player in the world today and hiseniche among the most famous players of all time is se- cure, He has played for America in every match for the American cup since 1909. Four times his side has been vic torious---in 1909, 1911, 1913 and 1921 {; once it sustained defeat in 1914. This is a wonderful individual record which may not yet be complete and which may not } be ,equalled for many long day.

Hornsby Still Heads Hit ters With Per Centage
 Of .4O3

John McGraw's New York Giants after disastrous setto with the fast travelling Pirates have. resumed their fayorite act of showing up the other national league teams. The present champs won six games during the week and dropped but two, for an average for the week of .75O.
 Though he dropped three points dur ing the week, Hornsby still leads the batters with .40S, with Wheat second and Cuyler third. Max Carey stole two bases and leads Heathcote by six.
 Emil Ydey of Freeport, H., having at last lost q game, being beaten by Brooklyn, Arthur Nehf takes first place among the pitchers. Dizzy Vance still blinds the opposition with that lightning fast ball and in one of the games with Chicago he whiffed four teen of Killefer's kids. Vance is the real leader with eighteen games won and four lost. Bentley and Carl Mays are moving up.

 At this point Epinard was given his head by Leonard Madden, the English boy who has been exercising him. At the end of the second furlong the watches showed ii 1-5 seconds. This was accomplished with apparent ease

NEWTON AND MURRAY
 WIN DOUBLES GROWN
Craig And Huggins' Great Fight Fails Before
 Superior Physical Condition

I ionally shone Both played fine tennis until caught in the tolls of the oppo- sition dashes, when they were practi- cally helpless.
 While Huggfns and Craig were be. ing extended severely to win, Murray and Newton were having it easy in crushing Bartlett and Warren, local veterans, in the other semi-final. They won in straight sets, 6-3, 6-1, 6-2 with out extending themselves. This chance big factor in the triumph, though it is likely that they would have won, anyhow.
 Coming out for the finals, Higgins and Craig appeared headed for another of their swirling victorious offenses. With the count AZ against them they stopped Daniel 'Lions' Den" Murray on his serve for the only time during the day and swept through four games in a row to grab the initial set.
 At this point they were not work ing in the smoothly efficient fashion that had characterized their morning play, but Murray was away off his game. Newton was plugging along at the same reliable, confident gait, but he hasn't handling the chances his partner had. Craig and Huggins were both shooting for the backline superla- tive accurcy, and their returns always left trail of smoke.
 Here the superior trim of the Mur- ray-Newton combination began to as- sert itself. Their antagonists faded completely after the second set had been kpotted at 2-2, and lost the next quar- tet. The third set was another walk away, with both Newton and Murray now going at a dazzling pace. Hug gins and Craig were winded and leg weary. Their drives had lost their earlier viciousness, while the lob game they had used so profitably became al- most suicide for Murray's terrific suinqs and nicetY of judgment

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. 9.-f Especial Leased Wire.

Every county is expected to be represented and game protective as associations and other organizations ars requested to send delegates. <;
 In letter explaining the purpose of the convention Commissioner Quinn stated:
 "The conservation, protection and propagation of the state's wild life resources are being emphasized more today than ever before.
 ''The sportsman is not alone in his desire to see all forms of protected wild life conserved and increased for his pleasure and benefit. ft Wild Life Valuable
 s'The state of Alabama takes cognizance of the fact that the wild life resources within its borders have a tremendous economic value, not alone the game birds and animals but the insectiyorous birds as well. 5s
 Farmers everywhere are beginning to realize the economic value of in sectivorous birds, and they are ready to cooperate in any reasonable way to secure better protection of those kinds that are proven economic value to agfi- culture.
 "In order, therefore, to bring about q more cordial relationship and common understanding among the citizens of Alabama in setting up conservation program for the future, and assistance in the determination of policies which should be pursued, am calling a con. vention of the citizens of the state to meet in Montgomery at 2 o'clock p. n. Wednesday, September 10, to continue in session two days"
