1880. The Athletics should win again
and the Cubs have a better chance
than any other single club, but the
latter's margin is extremely slim with
the Dodgers and the Giants on the
trail
The main reason for the big change
is the improvement of the Yankees
and the Senators, especially, in the
American, and the same uplift on the
part of the Dodgers and the Giants.
The Brooklyn club is the most i'm
proved outfit in base ball ever a year
ago.
The Athletics are still the class of
base ball. The Cubs have proved their
class by pounding along in the face
of a double disaster-the loss of Carl
son and the injury to Hornsby. Both
defending champions can be counted
on in the rougher going that will
come later.

ATTENDANCE MARK
CITED BY HEYDLER
National League Having Its
Best Year-SayS Rules
Bar Night Games.

NEW YORK, August President
John Heydler of the National League,
with the halfway mark in the major
league pennant races well past, today
took occasion to make some pertinent
statements regarding base ball affairs
in general and particularly concerning
the National League race.
Heydler spiked the views OF rev
pessimistic persons by disclosing that
the league is now in the midst of its
best season as regards attendance at
the games.
said, up to this date show that the
league has enjoyed its best season in
history, thus presenting the most effec-
tive of all arguments against the gloomy
predictions of few persons that base
ball was waning in public interest"
Night base ball, which is spreading
quite rapidly in the minor leagues and
semi-pro ranks, is not regarded favor
ably by Heydler. In reference to night
base ball Heydler said:
IT have been asked the question often
lately If any of our clubs would play
night ball this year or in the future.
In the first place, none of our teams
would be allowed to engage in cham
pionship game after shutdown under the
constitution, and in the next place I
find there is no demand in the major
leagues to get away from base ball and
all that it means as a great sport
through tradition and development
and get it into the show business.
which, after all is said and done, is all
that night base ball is or can be-"
The current National League flag
race, in Heydler's opinion. is "the
greatest we have had in all the history
of the circuit in what might be re-
garded as the most vital department
of base ball life and competition,
namely, that not one of seven con-
tending clubs can be counted out of
the race right now"

8-to-5 Choice and Has Big

Tonight's Battle.

n YEW YORK, August kid
nj Chocolate, the ebony flash of
Y the featherweights, tackles his
second major rival in a brief
but sensational ring career, when he
meets Jackie Kid Berg, the English
perpetual motion lightweight. at the
Polo Grounds tonight.
Both of the fighters have large fol-
loving and despite the fact that the
Keed will be giving away or more
pounds he will have plenty of sup
porters.
Berg, considered the outstanding
tender for Al Singers lightweight title,
is an 8-to-5 favorite. Incidentally
Chocolate has decision over Singer
in the Cuban's other major fight.
The Keed is genuine featherweight
and probably will scale not more than
1877, while Berg is expected to weigh in
at 1341a.
The bout is not scheduled as titular
affair, as the New York Boxing Com
mission does not recognize the junior
welterweight title-which Berg won
from Mushy Callahan in London.

~ JIMMY things, these base ball
* breaks"
Because of overwork as a
pitcher, some team next year
may be sporting one Of the best first
basemen on the sandlots--a fellow by
the name of Lyon.
Bobby Lyon, G. P. o. southpaw, is
skidding Formerly one of the most
effective portsiders hereabout, Bobby
has been taking it on the chin lately
about as often as our heavyweightS are
yelling foul" which is far too often
The reason for this lost effectiveness is
laid to overwork. Pitching on Sun
days for the French A. c., and on
week days for G. P. o. was just little
too much.
Bobby now is stationed on the initial
sack because of shortage OF G. F. ..
players, and is putting up a whale OF
game.
Though Bob's team was swamped by
the Union Printers yesterday, Lyon did
his bit with a trio of bingles.
A record crowd is expected tomor-
row at the South Ellipse, when Navy
Yard and Naval Hospital battle in the
"croocial" game. While throngs OF
1000 or more have attended important
games, tomorrow's should exceed this
amount by several hundred, especially
If Navy Yard wins today from the
Union Printers.
The Typos. by winning yesterday over
G., p. o., IL to 6, not only garnered
their fourth straight win for their
longest streak of the season, but moved
UP to only half a game from Navy,
Yard, which is trailing Naval Hospital
by the same margin.
No little importance is attached to TO-
DAYS game. as defeat for the Printers
will virtually eliminate them.
