international News Service.

LONDON, July 25.-Golf is un.
dergoing a struggle for It's exist
ence among the younger genera
ton OF Englishmen.
There is shaping q campaign to
bring golf into disrepute as a game
for young Englishmen, and all be-
cause there has been a decided
slump In the sporting successes OF
England of late.
The claim is being advanced that
young Englishmen are devoting
their time to golf to the detriment
of other games, and that as a re-
suit England is shy of good polo
players, good tennis players, good
fighters and even good cricketers.
Fathers are even offering their
sons sums of money II on their
twenty-first birthday they can say
they have never had a golf club in
their hands. Sporting editors and
literary editors are deriding golf as
a game for the young.
English sportsmen who take up
golf as side line and a diversion
are severely criticised in the news
papers.
"You don't find the Tildens. the
Johnstons, the Vincent Richards
nor any great lawn tennis players
consecrating their winters or week
ends to putting" said l.. J. Makes,
editor of the National Review.
Golf and tennis swear at one
another. Had Mr.. Tilden played
as much golf as. a famous English
player I could mention the Ameri-
can champion would not be where
he is now-at the top of the tree.

The hitting, fielding and running
OF Earl McNeely ever since the
champions left home has been I'M
lformly excellent. He has saved
games by brilliant running catches
and aided in winning others by
activity on the base paths He Is
not a hard hitter, despite those
home runs in Boston, but he surely
can reach first base, an asset to a
lead-off man in the batting order.
Against the Red Sox McNeely
collected twelve hits totaling nine
teen bases for an average of 500,
startling his mates with two home
runs over the left-field wall. OF
course that was too high to main
tain and his average has slumped
considerably. Going to bat sixty
seven times, Mac has hit safely
eighteen times for total of twenty
bases and an average of .26S. TAX
ing the entire trip, though. Nc
Nelly has hit for .344. most respect
able figures.
Porting over the batting averages
show no effort has been made to
rush Roger Peckinpaugh back into
the lineup, though he may play
today against the Yankees. Everett
Scott is delivering. that's why. Peck
injured the thumb on his throwing
hand in the first inning of the
opening game in st. Louis, splinter
ing the bone. Scott replaced him.
Playing i'm eleven game, incIud-
Ing Thursdays here, Scott has
gone to bat fOEty-fOur times. He
has collected sixteen safe swats,
including three twO-baggers, en-
fitting him to an average Of 1863
rs a substitute to the ailing Peck.
Not much has been heard from
Joe Harris since those telling slams
Of his in Boston. two of them win

has been working steadily when

base for Judge and went to right

trip Harris has gone to bat forty
seven times, hitting safely seven
teen times for thirty-three bases
and an average of .361 Like Scott,
Joe Harris is a valuable extra man
to have around. The absence of

season has been a decided handicap

OPPOSE
YANKS
Manager Harris May Change
Mind, However, and
Use Johnson
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER

NEW YORK, July 25.-Dutch
Ruether will probably face the
Yanks today, much to the disap-
pointment of the fans who are
expecting Walter Johnson. Funny
about that. Bucky Harris had
Johnson warm up Thursday and
was on the point of sending him
to the rubber only to change his
mind at the last minute and have
Tom Zachary tackle the Yanks.
Therefore just because Harris an
nounces Ruether as his hurting
choice today means nothing. He
may have Johnson on the rubber
when the firing begins.
Stan Coveleskie is booked for to-
morrow in the final game of this
series. That was promised him a
week ago. He will then go to his
home in Shamokin. Pa, for q few
days and report to the club in
Washington next week in time to
oppose the White Sox.
If Johnson does not appear here
New York fans are sure to be dis
appointed, though that amounts to
little or nothing. They have been
fed on the dope that Barney would
tackle Miller Higgins gang and
are strong to see him on the slab.
Furthermore, Johnson is ex-
tremely popular here in New York.
and many fans will be out today
just to see him.
Mule Shirley has quit the Griff
camp. The young firstsacker,
with q big smile on his face, has
Joined the Jersey City Club of

subject to recall within twenty
four hours. but that will hardly
happen. Both Judge and Joe
Harris must be wounded before
Shirley will be recalled.
Shirley has much promise of de-
veloping into first-class ball
player and the. Washington club
knows it. Efforts have been made
to have him sent back to a minor
league for experience, but until now
three clubs have refused to allow
it. Finally they have been con-
WINGED that the Griffs do not intend
losing their grip upon the youngster
and have agreed to let him go to
Jersey City.
Il can bring Shirley back with
twenty-four hours notice." explains
Manager Harris. He will now have
chance to play every day, some
thing he needs. 1t doesn't do a
young fellow any good to waste
his time on the bench. / am now
thinking up a plan to have Benny
Tate get into the game now and
then if only to keep up his in
terest. He's q good catcher right
now, but idleness will kill him"
Shirley was glad of the chance
to play ball every day. He 0c-
cepted his new assignment will
ingly. He says he will be back
with the Griffmen next year
with bells OH, ready to prove his
worth.
Yesterday was an idle day for
the champions. Many went to the
races in the afternoon with a >show
in the evening to complete their

champions slaughtered the Red Sox
in Boston, winning four out Of five
games. Only the absence Of Walter
johnson prevented a clean sweep.
During that series in the Hub
Goslin hit for an even 400 and
Rice for AIS.
Both batsmen were torturing
opposing hurlers.
Then they slumped In Chicago
GOslin got five hits in four
games and Rice but six. In
sWeltering st. Louis GOslin hit
safely four times i'm as many
games, while Rice went hitlesS
until the final SkIrmish when he
managed to acquire a single.
Rice's stupendous batting average
Of .476 against the Red Sox shrivel-
ed to a mere .205 against the White
Sox and Brownies, while Goslin hit
for 257 instead Of 400. And right
along with Goslin and Rice was
Ossie Bluege who hit for. .25S
against the White Sox and Browns.
Walter Johnson Joined the team
in st. Louis. His presence in
uniform seemed to have a heart
ening effect upon the team and
gradually the batting slump began
fading. Rice got six hits in the
three Detroit games and eight in
the three Cleveland tussles. Goslin
poked four hits off the Detroit
hurlers and had already hit safely
twice in Cleveland when given the
air by Umpire Evans. Bluege's
slump carried through the Detroit
series but he came to life in Cleve-
land with six hits in three games.
Bucky Harris sprang into the
breach, however, and hit for 1903
during those eight games in Chi
cago and st. Louis, getting ten
hits in thirty-three attempts,
furthermore many Of his hits came
at opportune times, making them
doubly valuable.
Earl McNeely, who hit far beyond
his speed against the Red Sox
when he averaged exactly 900 for
those five games with twelve hits
In twenty times at bat, went right
along with his boss against the
White Sox, though falling off lit
tie in st Louis. Those two lads
certainly held up the sinking ship
as well as they could.
Ossie BIuege, hitting for
mere .258 against the White SOx
and Browns, has shaken off that
ink and counting those three
hits against the Yankees Thurs
day, has boosted his batting aver
age since going west to .327.
Evidently Ossie has come back to
the races.
The scoring hitters on any team
are those batting in third and
fourth positions, with the sixth
man coming next in Importance.
Therefore, with Rice, Goslin and

same time, the world champions
were in sorry state. Because
