THE GAS" HGBO

Now it Is the gasoline hobo who, with some plaus-
ible story other, is wandering from town to town,
borrowing or begging just enough gasoline to take
him to his next stopping place. Sometimes he
succeeds in acquiring the donation of old tire,
quart of oil other rifng necessities. The gasoline
hobo is always busy going somewhere though he
stays put when he gets there.
It is warm comment on the generosity of the pub

GEORGE SISLER
 PROTESTS BAN
St. Louis Manager De. clares He Did Nothing
 Worthy Of Penalty

ST. LOUIS, Mo, June 22.-"Geor- geous George" Sisler, manager of the St. Louis Browns, and idol of local base ball, has wired President Ban Johnson of the American league strenuous pro test against the indefinite suspension of himself, Catcher Pat Collins and Coach Jimmy Austin.
 The three Browns were notified Sun. day of the suspension, which resulted from Umpire "Ducky" Holmes report of the ''pop-bottle shower" incident in the sixth inning of the first game of Saturdays double-header with the Chi cago White Sox.
 "Our suspension convinces me that Holmes misrepresented matters. to John son." Sisler said.
 Things have come to a pretty pass when an umpire can put you out of a game for nothing and then have a mo- nopoly on presentation of the evidence to the judge"
 Collins tells lthe story of the hectic sixth inning like this:
 When Holmes gave Sheely walk, protested. I told him it was a good strike. SisIer walked in from first and asked where the balls were. I told him they were inside, and he said he could see that from first base.
 Call lem right Sisler then said to Holmes, without profanity. Then Holmes told him he was out of the game. said it was a fine way to alibi for your mistakes by putting a good ball player out of the game, and he told me 1 was out too.
 'sThen. Austin came along and told Holmes he was just plain crook. He made it good and strong and was the only one who said enough to be canned"

British Agent Makes Light Of
 Predicament In Mexico City

LAREDO, Tex, June 22.-H. A. Cunard Cummins, British agent in Mexico City, who was forced out of the country by the Mexican govern ment, made light of his predicament when he arrived here Sunday, but de- clared he had acted only in behalf of British citizens whose property had been confiscated without redress.
 The situation arose out of the gov ernment's taking away property be- longing to British subjects without pay ing incident and I hope that the pub lie will divert it's attention from me to the many thousands of Mexicans who are now suffering"
 Cummins is now en route to New York by way, of San Antonio and St. Louis.
 'sIn regard to the Evans case," he said, "the Mexican government has de- clared that a sediment was impos- sible on account of my presence. Now, that am gone, if the Mexican gov ernment is sincere in it's statements, it will have complete liberty to make settlement and pay Mrs. Evans for her property.
 "The Agrarians are in possession of Mrs. Evans property and there is corn nearly four feet high growing on it now. She has never received a cent for the property confiscated."
 Cummins declared that when he left Mexico City he had been given a great demonstration and had been cheered by members of all foreign legations. En route to the United States, he added, he had been unmolested and no one had sought to question him.

RMUCH and heated discussion has ME been going forward this year
 among Birmingham patrons Of baseball, concerning the failure of the local 'favorites" to come through ac- ceptably; and no little of the resultant abuse has been showered on the pitch ers' unhelmeted hsads. Before so con clusively localizing the source of the narrowing pains the Barons seem at- flicted with it would be wise to examine the teams play a little more than casually.
 Primarily. the poor conditioning
 of the hurIing corps during the
 training season has had 8 deal
 more to do with the present situa-
 tion, which is about as embar-
 rassing and compromised as that of mid Victorian old maid
 marOOned for the night in a dOrmi-
 tory entirely masculine. Getting off
 to a bad start, the losing system
 deveIOped into a habit, which is
 a far more powerful diamond fac
 tor than is generally credited.
 Then, too, the control of every single hurler has been of the exceedingly over mature sort. Red Bates alone has SCFuCk out uQOTO AHCA Shoh AS ANS walked; and it has quite frequently been the ardent wish of local bugs that Red was not quite so capable at shoot ing em squarely across the middle in apparently the most hittable spot. This wildness, however, can be traced back to lack of training, in great meas ure.
 But when all is discussed and ac- cOmpIished, it has to be admitted that these are not the only reasons for the poor bOxwOrk of the local hurling corps. All the Magic City's numerous pitchers this year have evidenced just about as much stuff as any in the wheel. Somehow or other it doesn't seem to do as
 well as the other tOsserS.'
 In such a case every witness, would seem further to document the brief in favor of the hurlers as against the way they have been handled. Far be it from us to prune and pick out the precise spot to blame, but somewhat, some when somebody hasn't gotten all that should have been gotten from a fund mentally good staff.
 With the major league baseball

 HoYLAKE, England, June 22.-All the villages that lie along the Irish sea and at the mouths of the Dee and the Mergey in the vicinity of Hoylake, talk ed about nothing tonight but golf, for tnmorrow 276 professional and amateur aspirants for the crown of open cham fpion of Great Britain will begin the quaiify1ng runs of play for that time.

CLEVELAND IN
 WIN RAMPAGE Giants Make Clean Sweep During Week; Pitch :.
 ing Improves

NEW YORK, June 22.-By Winning 12 of their last IT games played from the four first division clubs, the Cleve- land Indians have tied the first seven teams in the American league race into knot of four and one-half contests and overshadowed a winning streak of eight games by the Giants, who are now receiving opposition in the Ma tional league only from Chicago.
 Starting in the cellar, the rampaging Indians took four straight from Wash ington, two of four from Boston, three of four from the Yankees and with to- days victory, three of five from De- troit. In seventh place, Speakers squad is only two and one-half games behind Boston and Washington, virtu- ally tied for third, and four and one half from the top. The Athletics trail the Indians by seven complete games.
 The Giants, winning all of their con- tests, and the Cubs, who took five of six during the week, maintained their positions and now have a five-game lead on Brooklyn, which had a good week, and holds third position undis- turbed, as Cincinnati and the Pirates squabb1e for fourth, four games behind the Robins. Boston, Philadelphia and St. Louis struggle along at two-game intervals in the last three places. The Cards, battered by New York and Chicago, did not win game, and fell to the bottom.
 Cleveland's drive was based on slug ging. Detroit combined 100 hits in eight games with good pitching by the entire staff and advanced to within a half game of the Yankees, whose uncer- tain hurlers have been without their customary hitting support.
 The Giants impetus came from the unexpected source of the much-maligned boxmen. In the seven games of the past week the McGraw hurlers held their opponents to less than seven hits and slightly more than one run per game. Behind the excellent pitching the Giants hit and fielded we'll.
 Brooklyn also profited by it's bril- liant pitching staff. Vance, of the Robins, won his twelfth game, and now leads the two leagues.

ing at Formby Monday and Hoylake Tuesday-are Gene Sarazen, MacDon- aid Smith and Douglas Grant, the lat ter a resident of London, but once a prominent figure on American far west ern courses.
 Arthur Havers will defend his title of open champion, won by one stroke over Hagen last year, and all but two of the other British champions since 1892, will try to capture the honor. Even John Ball, the 61-year-old veteran, still is going strong enough to have his name in the pot of contenders. Only Harold Hilton and Jock Hutchison are missing among the fairly long array of former British open winners. All the rest are here and ready to tee off tomorrow Taylor, Vardon, Braid, Herd, White, Massey, Ray, Duncan, Hagen and Hay CTS.
 Havers. who came back from the United States few weeks ago, tired and worn out, has freshened up and again is playing consistently.
 Likewise, Mitchell and Duncan are in good condition. Sarazen has a group of admirers who think that he is very likely to turn the trick this year and atone for the disappointment he caused in 1923, when, playing in a bad wind and rains, he failed to qualify.
