JENKINS ADDS
: To RECORDS

Alb Jenkins, who has estab.
hShed with an automobile more
world records than any man in
the history of any sport, has
again added to that list with his
new Duesenberg Special on the
Bonneville Saltbed nesr Salt Lake
City, Utah.
A list of Jenkins newest marks
has been cabled to the Interna-
kional Association of Recognized
Automobile Clubs in Paris, for
worldwide recognition, by the
Contest Board of the American
Automobile Association, governing
body of speed competition in the
United States.
Sixteen new internatinal Class
"B" and three world unlimited
records in a dozen brackets have
been officially credited to Jenkins
by the A. A. A. On June 30. he
established seven records and on
July 2, he roared over the hot
Saltbed at record speeds for
seven more marks, four of which
UeCCeIeu MS own records eStab-
1iShed on June 80.
Whether Jenkins will try for
a more pretentiouS list as a.
sequel to the 48-hour run of John
Cobb. English speed star at Bon
neville, was not revealed at con.
test board headquarters. How
ever, past performances indicate
that Jenkins will not be satisfied
with the 16 marks because last
year and in 1888 he established
~ records on this same speed
site.
Jenkins new Duesenberg is
one of the most beautiful speed
creations ever built, and was
secretly constructed at Indianapo-
lis under the supervision of Aueie
Duesenberg, one of the famous
brothers who made racing his
tory.

PITTS Showing
NOT BAD

ALBANY, July 18.-Alabama
Pitts, who came to organized base
ball from Sing Sing prison, re.
turned here today after his first
swing around the international
League circuit with the Albany
team.
Injuries kept Pitts from many
of the games, but his batting
average for the 20 in which he
participated. is .208. He came
through three time in the role of
pinch hitter.
Johnny Evers, general manager
of the Albany club and former
major league star, believes Pitts
will improve as the season
progresses.
'The boy hasn't had a real
chance yet" he said. "Remem-
ber he came right from prison,
with no chance for spring train
ing and that injuries have
handicapped him since. He'll
be right up there before the
season ends"
Pitts present with the Albany
club made the circuit swing of
that team a financial success.

WEST ORANGE, N. j., July 18.
Explaining they were "too old" to
fill the job, William Malcolm, golf
professional at the Essex County
Country Club, today dismissed 35
caddies at the club.
"Caddying is not a mans but
a boys jOb," Malcolm said.
"SOme of these men have been
doing this work for a long time
and they have slowed up. We
have number Of complaints
from members and simply had
to act"
James Lannon, one of the older
caddieS, said the men dismissed

added:
"The only thing we can do
now is to go on relief"

! ing the first half, four Of the
five had q chance to win the
pennant. And that was through.

mating started. First, it was
three teams, then two and fin
ally the champion. Procure
ment Division captured hOnOrs,
but every player agreed 1t was
one of the most interesting bat
ties in moons"
The second half of the Federal
League is now in progress. Quite
as before, a torrid schedule is be-
ing played by the mines.
Communications Lead
Oddly enough, the Procurement
Division diamonders have lost
three games. In their place as
leaders are the Federal Communi'
cations toSsers. The other teams,
Interstate Commerce. G.. P. o.
Federals and G. P. o. Paramounts
trail closely.
Says GauZza:
"The reason for these events
Is the balance of every team.
None are any stronger than the
other, and it gives all a chance
for the championship. In the
end, the league should find itself
with a whale of a play-Off sched-
ule for the championship"
At the present moment, the
Federal Communication diamond
ers are getting some excellent
pitching. The big star is Tom
Boggs, who hurls for the Nation
Wide nine, of the National City
Junior League, on Sundays.
Lineup Improved
The presence of this youngster
and the improved form of the
entire lineup has helped the
team take the lead since the
start of the second half. During
the first half, the lads finished
last and happened to be the lone
team which did not have a
chance for top honors.
Boggs will in all probability
essay the mound for the Federal
Communications when it plays
the g. P. o. Federals in today's
scheduled game on diamond No
8 at 5 p. m. The contest is the
next to last for this weeks play
The schedule tomorrow finds
the G. P. o. Paramounts meeting
Procurement Division on the
same diamond at p. m. These
two contests should be full OF
the usual fireworks. to use Presi
dent Vic GauzZa's words.
