represented the government OF
France in the Olympic games and
who has served for years on vari.
Gus sports organizations. reviews
athletics in the country, and ar.
rives at the conclusion that sports
in France are as good as they are
any place in the world. but that
the reason they do not yield the
financial return that they do in
America is solely because no one
knows how. or is willing. to pro-
mote an event in such a way that
it is brought sharply to the public
attention.
Doctor de Cotea1 said: Many
of us experts in Paris were amazed
to know that a few hundred per-
sons turned out to see the annual
France and Belgium in which every
star in both countries took part
and in which some records OF i'm
portance were shattered. One
would have thought that at least
is, 900 persons would have been in
the stand. Another case is found
in the Olympic Games. What was
the attendance? I cannot give fig
ures but every ore knows that it
was far below what it should nave
been. The reason was that we
took the games seriously.
The meet between France and
Belgium, here and in Belgium. was
taken seriously by almost everyone.
Nobody realized tint the athletes
Of the two countries were meeting
on a field OF sports. to the contrary
one would have thought that the
diplomats Of the world were coming
together, and that the strictest dig
nifty had to be maintained. We
have vet to learn that sports are
in fun, and that there is only one
way to enjoy them and that is to
accept them as athletic games and
not as matters Of State.
Education is the only solution to
this question. The public has to
be schooled and the only question
that remains is Who will do the
instructing?' If you will allow me
l will say that the professor in this
school will not be a learned doctor
of sciences nor a master Of arts,
but will be a Barnum, a person With
a. deep understanding of human ma
ture, a person vino knows what he
has to present and how best to
place it before tho public. Therein
lies the solution of the athletic future
OF France, of Belgium, and, in fact,
of the whole of EufoDe."

him home to the Rancocas farm in
New Jersey this week. Zev has de-
veloped a cunning streak. which
first showed in his training, when
he wouldn't run unless a horse was
out in front of him. He was too
fast for his stablemates, so relays
were used. He soon got wise to
that and declined to do what was
asked of him. Trainer Hildreth
has a lot Of patience with his

usefulness as a race horse was over
and he will go TO the stud at the

But there's an old wheeze about
the guy who laughs last never
getting a cracked lip, and I guess
Bucky is having his little chuckle
right now. There's been a lot of
talk about the rabbit BALI and
all that sort of thing, but I've
noted that when old Convey steps
up to the rubber, all the rabbit
seems to disappear and the base
ball becomes just baseball. Any
how, I guess Bill Donovan had it
about right on the lively ball any
way.
just before Bill was killed, he
was talking to a lot of baseball
men, and the subject of the i've
" ball came up. Bill snOrted,
"Say, Iisten," he said, you can
talk about the lively ball all you
please, but nObOdy's going to
knock it out of the lot when
you've got a pitcher out there
on the hill who can throw it
past 'em." And you can't get
away from the truth of that one.
But to get back to Convey and the
things he is doing this season.
AS I said before Convey has shown
up a lot Of wise guys who figured
he was through, and I'm one chap
who is for him. OF course he may
not be judged the most valuable
player in the league. 4 There are
a lot Of fellows who deserve con-
sideration and I. for one, would
hate to be one Of the judges who
have to make the award.
Covey's in the running though
and he'll be more in the running If
he continues to pitch to the end
Of the season the way he's pitching
now. He's one old timer who is
holding up his end against the
Cobb and Speaker he stands out
like a mountain among the vet
erans-going on and on and on
without a sign of weakening.
And it's the veterans who hold
the balance in a race like this that
gets hotter and hotter as the
teams go into the stretch. Right
now I'm just as much interested
in the three-cornered fight for third
place as I am in the two-way
scramble between Washington and
the Athletics. The Tigers and
Browns and White Sox have got
merry little war of their own on.
If had to pick the team that
will finish third, however, my
guess would be the Tigers.
There's what you'd call a hitting
ball club. Believe me feel
sorry for the pitcher that has to
90 against those fellOws-wfth
nine men in the lineup, any one
of whom is apt to break up the
old ball game every minute.
Cobb has better pitching than he
is given credit for, too. Pitchers
like Leonard and Dauss and White
hill and Stoner and Collins are apt
to come through with a great
game any time-and a few we'll
pitched games right now would put
the Tigers right up in the running
again.
Here's another thing to remem-
Der about the Tigers, too. With a
hitting club like that one. mediocre
pitching will win. Those boys can
always get the runs, and if they
can get even a fair brand of pitch
ing they can just about hammer
their way to the top in eight starts
out of ten.

dunn, which would appear an edge
for the Griffs.
Eleven games remain with the
Indians, eight to be played in
Washington. The champions have
taken nine of the first eleven from
the Indians and should run up a
high total for the season.
Will Finish At Home.
THE world chamions have the
< distinct advantage of playing
at home through the final month
Of the campaign. They make their
final tour through the West, be-
ginning in Cleveland August Is
and closing in Chicago August 80.
What appears another advantage
Just at this time is those eight
n.maining games with the Mack
men, four in Philadelphia and four
in Washington.
''The way to win a pennant is
hold everybody even, but beat
your real rival and beat him bad"
is a baseball axiom. The Griffs
seem to be working on that the
DRY.
1--WE have something on the
AS" chirps Bucky Harris. "If
it so happens that the race mar
rows down to those eight games
with them-well, just count us in,
that's all. We can beat them, and
they know it."
The Griffs have but three more
games with the Yankees, all booked
in the Capital, but they have nine
with the lowly Red Sox, five at
the Griffith Stadium. Inasmuch
as the Griffs have won ten out
of thirteen from Boston, the re-
naming contests don't shape up
as menacing.
The champions are due to play
their last game of the season in
the metropolis tomorrow. If they
are to see New York again before
next April they will have to be
battling in a world series against
the Giants, just as they did a
year ago.
The YANKEES are the first to
wind up their campaign against
the Griffs this year, to be fol-
lowed by the Tigers, White Sox,
Indians, and Browns in that order,
Not till the final week of the sea-
son do the Griffmen close with
the Red Sox in Boston and not
till the final day of the campaign
do they stop battling the Mack
men, the AS being due to appear
in Washington on Sunday, October
4. The flag falls that day, with
the world series getting under
way, on the following Tuesday or
Wednesday.

Detroit, SC. LOUIS, ana CnlcdBp
are battling for first division on
honors and cuts on the world
series pot of gold. Only two of
the trio can make the grade and
so their fighting will probably
enliven things for several weeks
yet. But all three clubs realize
today that pennant victory is not
for any of them in 1925.
The pennant scrap, just as it
has been all season, lies between
Bucky Harris and his fighting
Griffs and Connie Mack's power
full Philadelphia Athletics. Ten
weeks of pennant baseball remain
on the calendar and, with both
contenders stripped for action,
these coming ten weeks should be
hummers.
Every pennant has ben decided
more by the pitching than by the
hitting and it is right here may
be found the confidence Of the
champions to repeat. They be-
lieve they have the pitching that
will swing them over the line in
first place.
Through June the Griffmen
fought hard to catch up with
the hard-hitting Mackmen, and,
in the final week, they humbled
the AS by taking four out of
five games from them, passing
them in the flag chase. 1t was
thought by many that the AS
would crack then and there, and
they did for a week or so. But
they came back and, thanks to a
severe slump On the part of the
Griffs, the AS romped once more
into the lead.
THAT slump of the champions
l. has gone. 1t came about for
several reasons. The untimely
absence of Walter johnson broke
up the pitching rotation, a strong
feature Of the wisdom Of Bucky
Harris as a manager. Then, at
one and the same time, Joe Judge
had to rest his weak leg, Roger
Peckinpaugh hurt his throwing
thumb, and Rice, Goslin, and
Bluege fell off miles in their
clouting.
Today Walter johnson can take
his turn on the rubber, giving the
other pitchers their regular rest
between appearances on the hill.
Judge is again in the lineup and
playing brilliantly. Peck's injured
thumb is O. K. The batting eyes
Of Rice and Goslin, the team S two
best slammers, have cleared. The
Griffmen are ready for the last
dash down the line.
The champions have eleven more
games with the White Sox, eight
of them in Washington and the
first five coming next week, be-
ginning with Tuesdays double
header. The Griffs have won six
out Of the first eleven.
Eleven games remain to be
played with the Jungaleers, seven
in Washington. Cobb's team is
the only one in the league with
an edge over the Griffs, having
won six of the first eleven thus
far. Bucky Harris blames the
slump for that edge, giving small
credit to the prowess of the Tigers.
Ten battles with the Brownies
face the Griffs, who have already
won seven and lost five with
