Stars Are Fading

Inside of three years, five at the

ing some of its outstanding stars. 1t
is doubtful if the great Tyrus Cobb
will try to perform as a regular
next season. Only the fact that Ty

smash, accounts for him playing so
much this year.
Eddie Collins has been greatly
handicapped all season by bad leg.
the one injured late last fail ana
which has failed to come back to
normal.
The injury to Collins cuts down
his ground-covering possibilities and
makes the playing of the game real
work. I once heard Collins say
that when playing the game became
an effort rather than pleasure, he
intends to quit. 1t must be that
now.
There is no doubt but that Collins
has played many gall game this
year when physically unfit to give
his best.
There are many veterans like
Speaker, Wheat, Johnson, Alexander
and others who are being counted
out by Father Time and in each and
every instance, leg trouble is the
greatest handicap.
When the legs slow up, it spells
the finish in baseball.

Douglas playing with Bisbee, Juarez
with Ell Paso and Fort Bayard with
Chino. He stated in his wire to Mar
shall that unless this modified schedule
could be arranged the Douglas club
would disband Immediately, and added
that in no event could the Blues go to
Ell Paso for the series this week.
Marshall answered to the fact that
he thought the amended schedule
could be arranged if Bisbee would
agree. Bisbee would give no definite
answer at once and while the question
was still pending, Marshall wired
again, stating that the Chino club in
sisted upon fulfilling the regular
schedule. He stated that all teams
were ordered to fulfill the original
schedule, otherwise the league would
be declared disbanded. Marshall also
stated that the Chino club was leaving
this morning for Bisbee.
Late Wednesday night representa-
tives of the Bisbee club stated by tele-
phone that they might be willing to
, consent to the schedule suggested by
Tom Glenn, except that they would in-
sist upon playing the next series,
scheduled with Chino, which would
mean that Douglas would have to go
to Ell Paso. The Bisbee club also wants
some of the Douglas players if the
two clubs are to finish the season here
between themselves.
AS the active members of the board
of directors of the Douglas club has
now dwindled, and as Tom Glenn and
William Alberts do not want to as
sumo all the responsibility for de-
cision which might mean disbanding
of the entire league, it was decided to
place the whole situation before the
fans, in the hope that some solution
might be Forthcoming.
Accordingly, everyone interested in
baseball is asked to attend the mass
meeting tonight. The directors have
done everything they possibly can to
keep the local club in the running and
will welcome any suggestions or as
sistance which might solve the pres
ent.
If Chino and Bisbeel agree to the
amended schedule, it is believed that
the remaining games here between
Douglas and Bisbee would draw fair
sized crowds, considering the long
standing spirit of rivalry between the
two cities, and such an arrangement
would bring the local club out of the
hole and leave it in fair shape for
next year.
Officials of the Copper league feel,
according to kilograms received in
Douglas, that the league is being
broken up by Douglas refusal to go to
Ell Paso for the games scheduled for
this weekend. AS Tom Glenn explains
! it isn't a refusal, it's just case Of
inability.

COMMISSION TO MEET
(l.y Dispatcn A. II. Wire,

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE state ath-
letic commission will hold a special
meeting tomorrow morning which is
expected to straighten out the remain
ing tangles in the Dempsey -Tunney
heavyweight situation.
If they accept the invitation extend
ed to them by Commissioner George
Brewer the two members of the Ii
cense committee, Colonels ]. J. Phelan
and d. Walker Wear will meet at the
same time to reconsider application of
Jack Dempsey for a license to fight
Gene Tunney at the Yankee stadium
on September 16.
The initiative designed to form Il
prompt and final showdown on the
situation was taken today by Brewer,
who exercised his prerogative in call
ing the special session in spite of the
fact that such meetings usually are
subject to the call of the chairman.
James A. Farley.
Unless there is an unexpected hitch
overnight, those close to the situation,
Including BroweG and Promoter Tex
Rickard, are confident that Dempsey
will be granted his license tomorrow,
thus eliminating the last obstacle from
the pain OIL In0 Illle DdIIl6' LdIe TO-
day neither Colonel Phelan nor Col
onel Wear had shed any further light
on their attitude, which was expressed
at yesterdays hectic session in their
decision to defer action on Demp-
sey's license application pending his
compIance with the rules and regula-
Sions of the commission Brewer,
however, said he expected both licens-
ing officials to- attend.
Compliance with the commissions
rules is interpreted to mean that
Dempseys license will be for tne COM
ing upon presentation of formal agree
ments for his match with TuEney.
AS result, Rickard and Dempsey
both will go before the commissioners
tomorrow armed with all necessary
papers designed to show that the
Tunney match has been arranged in
full accordance with the regulations
of the boxing solons.

PennOck Smart HurIer


Recently one of the Chicago White
SoX pitchers in a game with New
York threw fast one in Babe
Ruth's groove The result was a
home run that decided the bail
game.
AS the Bambino ambled around the
paths the "peppery" Ray Schalk,
star catcher of the Sox, raved over
the happening.
If pitcher would only work
properly on Ruth, the Babe would
have his troubles breaking any home
run records" said SchaIk.
Don't get the impression that /
think it is possible to keep Ruth
from hitting. Far from it. My
thought is that proper pitching would
cut his home run possibilities down
to doubles and singles.
Il don't believe Ruth would ever
made home run batting against
Herb Pennock," continued Schalk.
but Pennock is with the Yanks.
Pennock is one Of the smartest
of pitchers, who constantly works on
the batter's weakness. Ruth would
never get anything. fat from him.
Schalk's estimate of Southpaw
Herb Pennock explains why he is
one of the most effective lefthanders
that ever tried to outguess a major
league batter
In other words Pennock is a smart
pitcher.

EderIe's Feat in Making
Channel Spurs Others In
Attempt to Do Same Thing
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)

BOULOGNE, France, Aug. 11.-Spur-
red by the feat of Gertrude Ederle in
swimming the. English channel in IA
hours and 81 minutes, a German swim
mer named Verkoffer has arrived at
Calais with the avowed purpose of
swimming the channel in II hours.
With Nine. Jane Sion of France and
Omer Perrault of Canada forced to quit
their channel attempts early this morn
ing, the turbulent stretch of water to-
day was free of the crush of swimmers
which has challenged it in the past
few days. Heavy seas and rain squalls
compelled the two swimmers to aban-
don their attempt.
Miss Clare Belle Barrett of New Ro-
chelle, who came within two miles OF
swimming the channel last week, plans
to start her second attempt Sunday.
Miss Lillian Cannon of Baltimore, who
feels that she is in fit condition to
beat Miss Ederle's record, hopes to
start on Monday.

Grove and Faber

In each instance it took mighty
good pitching to stop the wrecking
crew presided over by Miller Higgins
1t was Lefty" Grove of the Ath-
letics who turned the trick on the
first two occasions, while the vet
eran Urban Faber of the Chicago
White Sox put an end to the third
winning streak.
Faber's win was pitchers battle
in which one veteran splitter tri-
umphed over another, Urban Shocker
of the Yankees. Each twirler al
lowed only three hits but the Sox
punched their three for two runs,
just enough to win.
Faber and Shocker are two of the
very few spitball pitchers still do
ing business in the big show.

why Yankees Lead

Three sustained winning streaks
explain why the Yankees are out in
front in the American league.
The first streak consisted of eight
straight wins, the second comprised
just twice as many, while the third
totaled eleven.
Thus in three winning sprees the
Yankees have knocked off 35 ball
games, about the margin the team
now enjoys in the race for the PEN
nant.

ferent things to think of, for an active
drama was in progress. Two of the
ape-men had seized one of the Indians
out of the group and dragged him for
ward to the edge of the cliff. The
king raised him hand as a signal. They
caught the man by his leg and arm,
and swung him three times backwards
and forwards with tremendous vio-
lence. Then. with a frightful heave
they shot the poor wretch over the
precipice. With such force did they
throw him that he curved high in the
air before beginning to drop. AS he
vanished from sight, the whole assem-
bly,, except the guards, rushed forward
to the edge of the precipice, and there
was one long pause of absolute silence,
broken by mad yell of delight They
sprang about, tossing their long, hairy
arms in the air and bowling with ex-
ultation. Then they fell back from the
edge, formed themselves again into
line, and waited for the next victim.

THE LOST WORLD
BY SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE

In front of and around this detected
group of prisoners were several ape
men, who watched them closely and
made all escape impossible. Then,
right out from all the others and close
to the edge of the cliff, were two fig
ures, so strange, and under other cir
cumstances so ludicrous. that they abb
sorbed my attention. The one was our
comrade, Professor Challenger. The
remains of his coat still hung in strips
from his shoulders, but his shirt had
been all torn out, and his great beard
merged itself in the black tangle
which covered his mighty chest. He
had lost his hat, and his hair, which
had grown long in our wanderings,
was flying in wild disorder. A single
day seemed to have changed him from
the highest product of modern civiliza-
ton to the most desperate savage of
South America. Beside him stood his
master, the king of the ape-men. In
all things he was, as Lord John had
said, the very image of our Professor,
save that his coloring was red instead
of black. The same short, broad fig
ure, the same heavy shoulders, the
same forward hang of the arms, the
same bristling beard merging itself in

MUSICIANS MAKE !
A SPLENDID HIT

Youth had its way at the Episco-

and many of the younger musicians

offered, ranging all the way from
the classical to the latest popular
numbers and the audience which was
composed partly Of Douglas high
school students heartily applauded
every selection. Those participating
seemed to enjoy it all, too, and the
spirit of youth prevaded the entire
entertainment. At the close of the
formal program, refreshments were
served and then the high school or
chestra furnished music for dancing.
Leslie Farber opened the program
with two difficult, yet excelently
played numbers. His violin technique
for one so young is excellent and he
stood out as proof of the splendid

Won Success Both AZ
Artist and Inventor

Samuel Finley Breese Morse had
two distinct careers and climbed from
the bottom to-success In each Of them.
He Is best known for his invention of
the telegraph, but before he even
dreamed Of the invention, he had ex-
perienced the complete career Of an
artist. He began as strolling ped
dler, barely keeping clothes on his
back and food In his stomach by
painting portraits Of New England
country folk as he wandered from vii
lage to village. In less than a score
of years, by logged persistence. he
became the foremost portrait painter
In America before whom sat presi-
dents and generals and statesmen,
and he was head of the National
Academy Of Design. His work was
acclaimed at home and abroad.
Then, just at moment when he
reached the height of fame as an
artist, just when he was returning
from triumphs in Europe, with bright
prospects for financial ease and still
higher honOrs, an inspiration from the
clouds caused him to renounce all he
had gained and begin again-this time
as an inventor with q great idea.-
