Fair And Warmer'I.
UnweIcolIle Verdict
of FOrecaSter

If you know Of a good polar
trip, now's the time to go.
The Weather Bureau can give
no hope of an early cessation Of
the combined heat and humid
ity which last nights thunder
storm failed to relieve appre-
ciably.
The mercury's high point Of
80 yesterday probably will be
equaled, or even beaten, today,
and if that news isn't bad
enough for you the information
that tomorrow win be fair and
still warmer should complete
your collapse. .
There may be some rain on
Friday, but how much good it
will do is a problem. There is
a possibility the city may get
over its homemade Turkish bath
rage in time for the weekend.
But, of course, that is only an
indication Of hope rising eter-
nal in the human breast.

New York. Jnly si,-I'inding the nlr on American league peak too fnrl- hed, iha Detroit Tygers abdicaled the coveted post after si hours oecnpnney in favor Of the Yankees who today once more lead the parade by the usual half game margin, Washington made tho triangular race still more zostfnl by adding another 10 ils recent string Of victories, thereby creeping 10 within half game Of the jungle cats and full gamu of the world champions,
 The Detroit New York clash was the kind which produces heart dis case. nervous prostratlon and material for best sellers. When schang was apparently nailed at the plate trying to stretch his three bagger in the ninth. Bassler dropped the ball after tagging the runner and prolonged the agony till the 1ith. when Babe Ruth did his stuif and decided the argu- ment in the Yanks' favor by to T.
 Concentrating their attack in the fourth inning the Senators took the White Sox into camp by to ?. It was NdSI1lSlDn \ lHlIu NitloIy oi iHS series over Chicago.
 Gray the Athletics recruit sensation was off form and St. Louis pounded out : to win.
 Baseball reminiscent of the days Of rounders was displayed by Cleveland and Boston, the latter pulling 16 to 12 triumph out of the melee.
 McQuillan who let Cincinnati down with three hits was the whole show in the Giants 3 to decision over the Reds. Rixey also pitched superbly after the door had been locked on Il horseless stable.
 Proiting by a bad choice of pitch- CTS, Chicago scored enough runs in the first inning to win from Boston. The final count was 10 2. Cooney, who replaced Barnes in the second frame held the Cubs to two safeties during the remaining seven.
 Brooklyn riveted itself more firmly in third place by snatching to 3 verdict from Pittsburgh in 10 in- nings. Wheat made five hits in as many attempts and Fournier poled out his 22nd home run of the season.
 The Phillies made it four straight from St. Louis to the tune of to 5. '-y Williams raised his home run to- tai to II and Hornsby registered his 12th circuit belt of the year.

SISLER'S SIGHT SEEMS
 TO BE COMING BACK
Manager of Browns Staging Successful Comeback in American
 League

st. Louis, July 24.--Baseball fans generally throughout the country have noted with satisfaction this season the work of Manager George H. Sisler of the St. Louis Browns and the hope is now entertained that eventually his impaired vision will become normal.
 Voted the most valuable player in the American league during the 1922 season, Sisler was stricken with influ- enza in February, 1928, and his con- dition was aggravated by sinus trou- ble and tonsilitis, resulting in impaired vision which caused his retirement from the game for the 1923 season. For time 1t was feared that his base ball days were over, but Sisler gave his eyes careful patient coursse of treatment and rest.
 With the opening of the 1924 season Sisler assumed his regular position at first base in addition to managing the Browns. He admits that the defect in his vision has not been entirely remedied, but with his eyes con- stantly improving he is optimistic that his sight will gradually return to nor maj. The defect, he declares, hampers him in batting, but its effect upon his fielding is negligible.
 Although Sisler has been batting this season below his usual average he attributes this to periodical slumps which all ball players experience. However, there have been compara- lively few games in which he has gone hitless.

Chicago, July "A. - In Pitcher George Sarge" Connally the Chicago White Sox have not only great twirling prospect but most unique character.
 With every chance to become big league star, Conndlly doesn't get the slightest thrill because he is in the big show.
 'Send me back to Texas, to good old Galveston town" is Connally's favorite song, words and music by the same MT. Connaliy.
 v Has Earmarks of Star
 Connally has already proved that he is of big league calibre. He needs only little more seasoning to make him finished pitcher, consistent winner.
 It would seem that a "busher" could ask no more, but Connally is far from satisfied. Here is his line of reasoning:
 This big league stuff is all right but I'll take the small towns.
 When l go out to pitch for the Sox the first thing hear the fans say is, Who Is that busher?'
 Tn the Texas league, where I play cd last season, it was always There goes Connally. He's tough to beat
 When l walk down State street or Michigan avenue in Chicago l don't get a rise out of the thousands who pass me.
 Now in Texas it was different. I had friends in every town in the cir cult, and when I walked down the street, lots of people spoke to me just as if I was regular human being.
 Pay day is the one. happy day in the majors. Every day was Christmas in the Texas league.
 Misses His old Friends
 Tn the big league you have to learn the deaf and dumb language so you can talk to yourself In the Texas circuit it was just like being on lec- ture tour"
 Last season with Galveston, that finished seventh in an eight-club cir cult, Connally won ,16 and lost only nine games most remarkable rec ord with a near tailender.
 Connally was a star in the Texas league. He is big husky right hand CT and may some day win such fame ns a big leaguer that when he walks down State street the fans will make as much fuss over him as they did in Galveston.
