until two or three of them haven't
enough vitality left to wiggle their

Unless the Giants sag, then. the
minimum number of games necessary
for Pittsburgh TO clinch the race may
be set down as 2S. That would give
them the pennant at n percentage Of
about .604, figuring that a game on
two may be lost out of the schedule
by adverse weather. 1t is. close fgur-
ing, but it Is sound.
Eight Games Left Between Them.
While the Pirates are endeavoring
10 salt down these % games, they
must play with New York Here
would be their grand opportunity. If
they could slam the Giants all s Of
them there would he precious little
hope for New York. and if the Pirates
won even 6 out of the they would
make life pretty miserable for the
Giants. On the other hand, If New
York should clean up those 8 games
the Pirates would have to annihilate
some other team or lose out.

In the old days in New York, be-
fore racing was checked by the law
against bookmaking, the attendance
at base ball games was markedly
affected.
Interest in racing here has increased
as the word-of-mouth bookmakers,
who conduct all financial transactions
away from the track, multiplied in
number.
For a long time there has been
no racing in the vicinity of Chicago,
and base ball attendance there has
grown. But racing interests have
been fighting to get into Chicago or
near the city, and have made such
headway that the base ball turnstiles
already have begun to suffer.
Cleveland and Pittsburgh have been
largely exempt from racing, but Cleve-
land now has plenty of racing near
at hand and base ball there is suffer-
ing. That is true also of Cincinnati
where the ball club must be in the
midst of A red-hot race to hold the
fans interest during the racing sea-
son.

Detroit is said to be affected to
some extent by racing and it is feared
it will be affected even more If tracks
which have been proposed are opened
near the city.
Washington is feeling the opening
of tracks in the vicinity of that city
and Baltimore always is affected when
the racing season Is on.
The craze for track betting is higher
now than it has been for years, and
even racing men are deploring the
increase in the number of tracks.
fearing that it will result, as it always
has, in a general crusade against
racing.
Organized base ball never has join
ed in such a crusade and will not do
so now. But promoters of base ball,
who do all in their power to dis
courage betting on their own sport,
realize that they will have to make
pretty hard-if indirect-fight to
check the growth of racing, with its
accompaniment of betting, else they
will suffer seriously in lost attendance
at the ball parks.

Why Zach Was Lifted Sunday

Now comes the story of why Zach
cry was taken out of the Sunday
game at Washington after pitching
three such sterling innings against
the Yankees. Bucky Harris told il
after announcing that the red-thatch-
ed southpaw would work in the series
here. Here is what he said
The only regulars at hand who had
had more than a day of rest were
Walter Johnson and Zach. You will
recall both had worked in Thursday S
double-header against the Indians,
Zach going through eight innings,
while Walter was withdrawn in the
fifth. We wanted Walter to get more
rest, but also figured it best not to
give Zach too much TO do.
So, just before we took the field
for the game l told Zach, Gregg and
Marberry that they would go not
more than three innings each. l had
an idea the workout would help keep
Zach in trim and 1 believed the others
good for high-pressure pitching over
such a short route.
Evening star., 1925-08-18

Jewish base ballers of the Polk
School playground circuit increased
their lead materially by. taking both
halves of a double header with the
Irish team. The scores were to 8
and to 0.
Evening star., 1925-08-18
Followed Prearranged Plan.

Zach went along very we'll but !
followed the prearranged plan and
withdrew him after he had filled his
allotted time. Gregg was removed
from the box an inning earlier than
scheduled solely because the scoring
chance we had in the fifth was toe
good to permit passing up the use OF
a stronger hitter than Gregg. Ii
will be remembered that at the time
we were just a run shy of the
Yankees score and had men on sec.
ond and third bases with only one
out
Marberry came along and worked
his three innings and Russell got
that part of the job Gregg left. In
80 far as the pitching was concerned,
! think the plan proved pretty good.
We just did not hit at the right time
but you can't blame our pitchers for
that.
Harris did not volunteer the infor-
nation as an altbi for his action that
astonished so many people of Clark
Griffith Stadium Sunday, but because
of the adverse criticism many of the
fainthearted fans in the stands did
not hesitate TO voice at the time ne
decided to let them know the why's
and wherefores.

thinks the champs have bought a fine
pair of players.
He declared that Stewart. who
formerly managed Birmingham, was
easily the fiashiest second sacker in
the big Dixie circuit and the fastest
man there.
He IS a marvel on the bases, can
take a greater lead off first than any
other player | have ever seen in or out
of the big. show and as he is a con
sstent right-hand 800 hitter. he gets
on often enough to make his speed

BUTTER SALES RUN HIGH

The volume of business attained by
the Minnesota cooperative cereamer-
les, through. their selling agency, has
reached such gigantic proportions as
to cause sensation in business cir
cles and to bring forth large headlines
in the big daily newspapers.
All records for butter sales were
broken during the month of May
when the Minnesota Cooperative
Creameries association sold a total of
1884 ,2O4 pounds of butter for which
they made gross return to the men,
Der creameries of $3,841.95.
This was an average price of 43c
a pound for the whole amount and
the Farm Bureau believes that, taking
the volume into consideration, it was
the largest price ever paid the farm
ers for such an immense quantity of
butter. The average price of N. Y.
Extras for May was 421ac.
AS an indication Of the growth of
the associations business, it may be
recalled that in May of last year only
2,576, 100 pounds of butter was
handled.
