NEW YORK, July 6.-That hardy
old mellerdrammer, seven DeuceS
and an Ace; or Pounding to a Pen
nant," is once more making the
rounds of a yawning American
league circuit, but with a new cast
of characters.
The New York company which
toured the east and middle-west for
three years with the act has been
replaced by a Philadelphia cast,
and if you ask this critic the
Quaker City boys are giving a good
show.
Of course, one misses the heroic
form of G. H. Ruth in the leading
role, but his successor, James En-
DRY Fox, is giving a creditable per-
Torrance.
Foxx, in other words, is massag-
ing that old apple in a manner
which has gladdened the hopeful
hearts Of Philly and struck terror
to the foes of Connie Mack's fast
travelling team.
Mickey Cochrane and Al Sim
mons, also in leading roles, are
knocking leather to all corners Of
Shribe and other American league
parks. Mule Haas is also hitting
EN-. And so is this fellow Miller
and this guy Dykes.
At this writing well over TOO hits
have been crashed out during the
season by the rampaging, pennant-
pursuing Athletics. Of these some
thing like so have been homers and
about 140 two-baggers. In fact,
there hasn't been SO much noise in
Philadelphia since the day the Lib
erty bell rang for the first time.

HERMAN TOPS
SENIOR LOOP
Hits 1886 to Lead O'Doul
In Second; Grimes
Best Hurler

NEW YORK, July 6.-(P-Babe
Herman of Brooklyn continues to
set the pace for the National league
batsmen, this time with an average
of 1856, according to figures released
today and including games OF last
Wednesday. Frank ODoul OF
Philadelphia, however, no longer
crowds Herman for first place. Bill
Terry of New York standing second
with 1878, with O'Doul standing in
a tie for third with Frank Frisch
of St. Louis. Each Of the two has
1863.
Rogers Hornsby of Chicago added
thirty points to his average IN the
week ending Wednesday, running(
his marx to 1862, his highest of the
season to date. Other leading reg
ular batsmen are: Stephenson, Chi
cago, 1856; Roush, New York, .352;
Hendrix, Brooklyn, .345; J.. Waner,
Pittsburgh, .344, and Cuyler, Chi
cago, .343.
Melvin OFT of New York holds
the triple honor of leading in home
runs with %, in runs scored with
Y and in runs batted in with 83.
His team-mate, Bill Terry, has the
greatest total of hits, 112, while
Frank Frisch leads with % doubles.
Lloyd Waner of Pittsburgh leads
in triples with II, while Xxi Guy
Ter of Chicago has stolen % bases,
the best mark in base running to
date.
Burleigh Grimes remains in the
vanguard of the pitchers, this time
with Is victories against one defeat
for a mark of .929. He also leads
in total innings pitched with lat.
Guy Bush, the Chicago ace, has
won ten out Of eleven for 900. John
Morrison has won four decisions in
his salvage work for the Brooklyn
team and has taken one other
game as a starting pitcher, with
no defeats charged against him but
of course cannot yet be regarded
as a regular.
The Giants lead in team batting
this week with an average Of 1903,
followed by the Pirates who are
hitting .304. The Phillies are right
behind with 1903, and the Cubs
have .295. The Giants also lead in
fielding with .973, one point more
! than the Cubs.

DECLARE
WAR ON CUBS
Wilson's Attacks Cause
Open Breach, Threats
Between Clubs ~

NEW YORK, July 6.-tP-Possi-
bility Of a baseball civil war, a fea-
ture lacking since the days when
the hand and spikes Of the old Bal
timore Orioles were against every
man and against team, has loom
ed on the National league western
front as an aftermath Of hot WORDS
and flying fists at Chicago July q.
When Lewis (Hack) wilson
Singer of the Cubs, attempted 20
slug Ray Kolp Of the Reds, ne
started something. Kolp, calico
windy BY his teammates on &C
count of his peculiar technic AZ a
baseball Jockey, who rides TEL
low PLAYERS. SO Initiated Wilson
that Hack left first base to offer
a rebuttal with his fists
President John A. Heydler today
imposed a fine of 500 and sus-
pension of three days on WILSON,
reprimanding the player by letter.
"whatever your provocation may
have been, you were not justified
in leaving your base during the
zane to take the law into your own
hands. Your actions might easily
have started a riot"
Wilson later in a railway station
had found a player he could hit In
the person of Pete Donohue, Gin
cinnati pitcher. This incident had
no influence on the presidential
fine, however. News Of the punish
ment ordered for Wilson met with
disapproval by the Cincinnati play
ers. some Of whom declared he
should have had a year"
Manager Jack Hendricks issued a
statement containing what amount
ed to a threat when he said:
when the Cubs come here (Cin-
cinnati) for a doubleheader August
Is there will be something doing
for a certainty" The Red manager
discounted the Cubs chances for
the championship, suggesting "they
will wait under strong opposition"
strong words in baseball, where re-
Election on a teams courage is in
plenty August Is.
Battling on and off the field be-
tween pennant contenders has
been known in baseball but this
may be the first time a tail-ender
has declared war On a one-two
team.

The result is that the Athletics
have made monkeys out Of their
seven opponents. They've almost
made a farce out of what ought to
be a pennant race.
Connie Mack has injected the
spirit Of rs into his noble athletes
and they have risen with blood in
their eye to overthrow King George
I and the Higgins Hessians. The
slaughter has been terrific.
AS Washington crossed the Della
ware so have the Mackmen crossed
the Harlem and with the same re-
suit.

Too Many Tire Styles.

There is a demand for simplificaticr
in the manufacture of tires. The waste
in producing and distributing the I'M
necessary types Is far greater than is
generally realized. says a rubber expert,
and it has been wisely avoided by
foreign manufacturers. American tire
makers have been too complainant with
car builders, doubtless because compe-
tition for their orders has been keen;
but they would do the builders q real
service, earn the gratitude of host of
car and tire dealers and buyers, and
put their own industry In a much
stronger position were they but to in
sist that about three-fourths of the tire
varities now in use be promptly elm
mated. Not long ago the sheet steel
industry produced 1919 varieties. Now
it turns out but 1853 and saves $2,500,-
600 yearly. Makers of steel reinforcing
bars cut varieties from 40 to IL and
are saving $4500,000 yearly; and the
list of concerns thus advantaged through
simplified practice can be extended con-
siderably. The enterprising American
tire industry should also be in that
progressive list. Concerted, determined
action along the line indicated should
bring 1t reward of millions.
