The National junior and boys ten

had been completed, two in the
junior and one in the boys division,
when one of the heaviest transforms
of the summer broke over the courts

One seeded player in each section

George Sisler is just below him, in

Athletics in between. Sisler, whom
Phil Ball has stated he might be will

CHICAGO, Aug l. tP)-lThe merry
Pirate trio of heavy hitters are still
sailing along serenely at the top OF
the National league batting column,
with a little wider gap between them
and the rest of the field. Paul Waner
and Joe Harris each made big gains
this week, while Clyde Barnhart add
ed one point to his percentage. If help
were needed, it is not far behind, Tor
brother Lloyd Waner is just on the
border of the first ten hitters of the
league.
Riggs Stephenson, the fly chaser
whom Manager Mccarthy tried at
third base early in the season, has re-
covered his batting eye out in the sun
garden and has crashed through into
the select list.
The Reds winning streak is reflected
in their batting figures, which improv-
ed from PIT to $50, and fourth place,
which was held by the Cardinals.
The Pirates, the only 800 team, held
steady at their regular mark OF .3l4.
frankie FriSch is the closest to the
Pittsburgh trio with the same percent
age as a week ago, 1853, and three more
stolen bases, making his total 81. His
batting mark is now 13 points better
than Hornsby, and he is is hits ahead
of Rogers, though Hornsby has scored
five more runs.
Like the YanlSs, the Pirates are easily
the best in their circuit in both bat
ting and pitching. Carmen Hill and
Lee Meadows the bespectacled tWirler,
have won Is and IA games, respec-
tiveluy, with only four defeats apiece.
Charley Root of the Cubs has is VIC
tories, but has kone down to defeat
nine times.
Naturally the home run race in the
National league is not as hot as the
Babe Ruth Lou Gehrig competition,
but old Cy Williams, who could knock
them over the fence before the days OF
the jackrabbit ball, is in the lead with
20 four base blows.
Leading National league hitters: P.
Waner, Pittsburgh, 1888; Harris, Pitts
burgh, 1856: Barnhart, Pittsburgh, 371;
Frisch, st. Louis, 1858; Harper, New
York .354; Hornsby, New York, .345;
Haley, st. Louis, .343; Farrell, Boston,
$40: Traynor, Pittsburgh, .346; Steph-
enson, Chicago, .33l.
The home run twins of the Yam
KEGS, Babe Ruth and his pupil, Lou
Gehrig, have joined forces for an at
tack on the league leadership in bat
ting, which now reposeS on the brow
of AL Simmons of the Athletics.
Gehrig held the honor post himself
a while, with Ruth way down the col
umn, but the home run duel with
Ruth cut down Gehrig's batting per-
centage until Simmons shot past him.
NOW Babe and Lou are third and sec
ond, five and ten points respectively
behind Sirnm01S
The pace at the top grew too hot
for Ty Cobb; Simmons tutor, and he
is down in 10th place. iris Speaker,
though, after breaking into the first
ten week ago, moved up to sixth
place.
The team batting figures show, that
the Yankees are getting the best bat
ting marks and the pitching ranking
proves they are getting the best pitch
ing. The YankS have scored 1O3 hom-
ers, Ruth and Gehrig having 33 apiece
of this number UP to Thursday. They
are more than 100 runs ahead of the
next team, Philadelphia, and have
more than twice as many homers as

FIGHT Will Be
HELD IN CHICAGO

CHICAGO, Aug. /, R-Tex Rick
ard will stage the Tunney-D Dempsey
fight \for the worlds heavyweight
championship in Soldiers Field, the
massive municipal stadium on Chica-
go lake front, the night of Septem-
ber Is. ~ .l Ht
The New York promoter guaran-
teed' the battle for Chicago today
after the South Side park board
which controls the stadium, voted
four to one, to grant him use of the
field. Riekard agreed to pay the
board 100000 for use Of the stad-
ium.
He agreed to absorb all expenses
for converting the field into fight
arena.
Rickard expects the battle to draw
a record breaking crowd of 10000,
with gate receipts around $2,00O,000,
eclipsing the previous record gate of
81 1895, 900 set when Tunney defeated
Dempsey for the title in the sesqui-
centennial stadium at Philadelphia
year ago.
Rickard consented to the demand
OF the board to limit the price of
ringsie seats to $40, instead of $50,
sealing his prices down to SIS for the
cheapest seats, tax included
To meet the requirements of the
Illinois law, George F. Getz, a 81
year old millionaire coal operator, will
become associated with Rickard in
the promotion. Getz will take out
the promoters. license, but assured
1.-THE board that he would not take
any profits and neither he nor any
other members of Mayor William
Hale Thompson's civic affairs com
mittee will even accept any COM
plimentary tickets.
The bout will be ten rounds to
referees decision. Getz in appear
ing before the park board to urge
turning the field over to Rickard
revealed that Chicago's leading busi-
ness men were back of the invita-
ton to Rickard and that Governor
Len Small of Illinois had heartily
endorsed the fight. Getz said as TECH
nical promoter, William Wrigley was
first suggested, but he was unable
to devote time to it because of other
business interests.
| The millionaire coal operator re-
| vealed that other Chicagoans whose
wealth totals many millions, we're
members of his executive committee
interested in seeing the fight brought
to Chicago.

inning it began o look like Vickers,
who pitched the entire game would
win. But Captain Shropshire ran a
relief pitcher and shut out the Cubs
and held the lead at Z too.
The All Stars -SWastika was a
hair raising, fastly played game. The
SWastika brought in one score the
first inning and were fortunate
enough to hold the strong All Stars
scoreless. This in spite of the fact
that the bases were loaded several
times. Ruterman, Swastika twirler,
seemed exceptionally fortunate in
pulling out of some bad holes. Rivera,
All Star pitcher, pitched very good
ball but was unfortunate in the
breaks.

PARIS, 0P--Almost Identical in line
with the ensembles of summer are the
fall dresses and matching coats which
Paris is showing. The main difference
lies in the fabric, which is of heavier
wool, and the skirt, which is usually
longer.
Many dressmakers are showing coats

Light weight tweed mixtures of small

much used for the ensembles. Coats
