BISHOP Cannon
REMAINS I'LL

Bishop James Cannon, jr, is
still in a very serious condition at
Sibley Hospital. DR.. R. Lyman
Sexton, his physician, admitted
today, and it will be many weeks
before he is able to leave the
institution.
The only favorable factor in
the Bishops illness is that there
has been no further spread OF
the arthritis which is the prin-
cipal malady from which he is
suffering.
DR.. Sexton has issued strict
orders that no one save the
Bishops secretary may see him.
He said:
"Our chief task at present
is to reduce the Inflammation
Of the joints and reduce the
pain. So far we have checked
the spread Of the disease, but
the Bishop Is stiIl q very sick
man."
When the Bishop entered the
hospital two weeks ago it was
thought that he would remain
there from six to eight weeks.
but the present indications are
that it will be a much longer
time before he is able to leave,
DR.. Sexton added.

Dave Bancroft. former Giants
shortstop who came back to the
team as coach this season after
managing the Boston Braves and
playing at Brooklyn. has had charge
of the club in McGraw's absence.
and, in many quarters. is being
named as the next manager of the
Giants.
There seems to be little doubt but
that there is a rift in the Giants
ranks. Many stories have been cir
culated, including one which said
that Charles A. Stoneham. presi-
dent of the club, strenuously object
ed to members of the Giants visit
ing Rogers Hornsby. who was re-
covering from his ankle injury on
his farm at st. Louis, when the
Giants we're out west.
Several weeks ago a reported
change in the ownership of the
Giants brought a denial from Stone
ham that he planned to sell his
controlling interest of 81 per cent.
At that time the Giants issued all
official announcement under the
signatures of Stoneham and Nc
Graw saying that McGraw's absence
from the team was due to person
al matters" and that he would ioin
the club as soon as they were sue
cessfully terminated.
In some quarters, it is said that
McGraw has attempted to enlist
theNal of several wealthy hackers
to buy out Stoneham and assume
the presidency of the club. Failing
in this, the story goes, he has elected
to resign as manager at the close of
the present season.
Only last spring it was rumored
that McGraW would leave the
Giants and succeed the late Miller
j. Higgins as manager of the
Yankees. At that time Colonel
Jacob Rupert, owner of the
Yankees, said that he had made Nc
Graw no offers, but that if McCraw
were free he would make every
effort to obtain him.
Bob Shawkey's successful debut
III ms nrSt year as pilot of the
Yankees, however. has altered the
situation somewhat, butt it is be-
lieved McGraw, if free, would be
given careful consideration by
Colonel Rupert.
McGraw became manager of the
Giants in 1903 and won his first
pennant the next season In twenty
seven years at the helm of the
Giants he has ten pennants,
finished second eleven times and
third three times. The Giants.
under McGraw, have finished below
third place only three times-eighth
in 1915, fourth in 1916 and fifth
in 1926. He led the Giants to three
worlds CHAMPIONSHIPS.

This fan who wrote me seemed to
think that a good many players Isl
bats that weigh around 81 ounces.
I don't know of a player who would
think of going to the plate with one
so light. A fast ball pitcher would
almost break it in his hands if the
batter met a speed ball with a club
like that. Even if the bat did not
break there wouldn't be enough
drive in it to carry a ball very far.
1 guess the lightest bat in our
league is the one that Dick Porter
of Cleveland uses. That weighs
only 80 ounces. Nobody on our club
can figure how he ever gets a hit,
but he gets quite a few.
But you won't see many hits like
that with so light a stick. In fact
I don't think you'll see another bat
that light in the big leagues. I'm

Bic Bill Tilden Retains Top
Position Among US Meters


Frank Shields and Bryan Grant.
Four additional places we're created
by the officials this year.
Outside Of Hunters amazing nose
dive from third place to tenth, the
most surprising feature of the
"honor section" is the omission of
three first-ten players. Fritz Mer-
cur, No. 6; Wilbur Coen, No. 8, and
Berkeley Bell, No. 9, in national
ranking, composed the leftout trio.
Jean Borotra's decision to play
was hailed by fans and officials
alike. The Bounding Basque and
Tilden, who are the two most likely
flnalists, should provide enough
color, drama and laughs during the
week to keep the stadium well
packed.
Borotra meets strenuous opposi-
ton the first day when he clashes
with Berkeley Bell. Bell is capable
of giving the dashing Frenchman a
genuine battle. Tilden should have
little trouble until the quarter
finals, where he probably will meet
Vines.
