=, To-Day we will stay at att, c4 t Island and
place and show on Poor Sport The
same goes on shampoo in the fourth.
F. you happen to be sitting
on the lower end of the
IL teeter-totter be patient and
the board will swing upward
again. The New York Yankees
are now winning ball games and
the Giants are in a slump. The
McGrawmen lost their third game
in the st. Louis series on Tuesday.
The Yanks made it three out Of
four over Cleveland. 1t was the
sixth victory out of the last seven

Weight-that specter which
looms for every jockey, has be-
come a reality for one of the
most promising of American
riders. Little Ivan Parke, who
created a sensation while an APP
prentice a couple years ago, is
getting fat. 1t is said Parke
plans to give up the turf
Brian I. C. Norton. st. Louis
tennis star, found one court in
Des Moines, Ia, that he did not
like. He was arrested on nlcharge
of speeding, but failed to appear.
The judge refused to forfeit the
game.
1T HE baseball ticker has a
language all its own and
1 those who read the tap
day after day learn to tell by
the sound without looking at the
printed figure the number of
runs scored. Those who mark
up the games on the various
boards in this city say it is
easy TO tell whether a team has
made no runs in an inning or
one run.
The zero is a quick tick while
the figure 81" is longer. The
experts" claim in some cases
they can read with fair accuracy
up to &C." They know when
the figures recorded are high,
but can not distinguish just
which number is printed.
The rs, 8's and 9's come in
over the ticker and are printed
on the tape with more of a
"plunk" than the smaller. Bat
terry changes and home runs
easily can be distinguished from
the score by innings.

delphia and the poorest attendance
Of the series was out. Only 5000
fans were in the stands. Get that.
ONLY 5000 spectators in a driz-
zling rain. Philadelphia is a poor
sport town.
HE fireworks at the FIT,
HARRISON show Tuesday
- night were army signal
material which was TO have been
part of the instruction at the
citizens training camp and for
some reason was never used.
The bright rockets are useless
if stored away too long so the
boxing fans were treated to
some July Fourth stuff before
the start of the bouts.
The only thing that rivaled
the bright display was a shirt
worn by spectator who strolled
into the arena short time be.
fore the first bout.
1t was a Powered creation of
such dazzling design and hue
that the fans got up and cheered
the youth. Later he stood up
while someone near him cast the
rays of pocket flashlight on
him so all could see. 1t was one
of the three lxnockouts on the
card.
The latest rumor in big league !.
circles is that Bill Killefer, de-
posed leader Of the Cubs viii
manage Brooklyn next season.
