A number of reasons have been advanced to explain the startling revival which basketball seems to DC enjoying this season.
 In the east intersectional games ave caught the fancy of the sports public. On two successive week ends capacity crowds of more than 16,OOO damned Madison Square garden in New York city to witness the contests. Most eastern colleges are playing to greater numbers than ever before.
 The decision to include exhibition basketball games in the 1886 Olym- pic program may have stimulated interest in the cage game. At least this recognition proves the game has grown to international propor- tions.
 This year the tournament spon- sored by the Amateur Athletic un- ion will hold more than the usual interest. Heretofore the east showed only passing interest in the A. A. U. tournament but it is very like ly that the leading college team in that section will participate this year. With western, far western and southern teams taking part, the tournament promises to be truly national in scope.

Bowler in Elks League Given Credit for
 Good Score

Not only were two high individ- ual scores turned in, but team com petition waxed hot in all three matches as Alaska Rivers League bowlers took over the Elks Alleys last night.
 Ed Radde, who, when he is right is one of the city's best ten-pin artists, was right" last night. He was right" to the very nifty tune of 638 pins, one of the best individual scores made re- gently.
 Incidentally, his efforts contrib uted greatly to the 2-to-1 victory scored by the Kuskokwims over the Stikines. Only five pins separated the two clubs at the end of their three games. For the losers, Mrs. T. Petrich turned in the second outstanding individual count, when she led the women bowlers with the good score of 520 points.
 The other matches were just as close. The Kobuks grabbed a see-saw battle from the Tolovanas, to l, by winning the final game, 474 to 427. The Susitnas, although victorious by a 3-to-0 decision, nevertheless had hard time with the Coppers.
 There will be no bowling tonight at Elks Alleys.

ketball has been played in the mid west. But the way the eastern teams have been drubbing mid westerners of late in the inter sectional battles has caused con- siderable surprise comment.
 Wisconsin, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Drake and Indiana have fallen before eastern rivals.
 New York university defeated Notre Dame decisive!y and follow ed it up week later with sim gle-point victory over Kentucky, the wonder team of the south.
 The far west evidently lags in basketball development, for the Stanford team which invaded the midwest experineced a disastrous tour. If Stanford is representative of what the coast game has to of fer it must be rated below the midwest standard.
 With the great new interest shown in basketball it is unfor- tunate that the officiating should stir up so much criticism. Lack of consistent interpretation of the rules has, in several cases of in- tersectional games, left the defeat ed teams disgruntled, to say the least.
 Purdue defeated Wisconsin in the Big Ten opening on a foul toss in the last few seconds of play, just as New York U topped Kentucky. In both cases the partisan fans about raised the roof in voicing their displeasure at the officials decision.

 The terrific pace cut out by the Cubs during July is a bit too hot for them to maintain for much longer but now that they have climbed to a contending position that will hardly be necessary.
 Curiously enough the Cubs be- gan their big push about the same time that young Frank Demaree was installed as regular outfielder The steady work was apparently all the former Pacific Coast leaguer needed for he came to Chicago last spring with the reputation of being slow starter and one who thrived on plenty of work. His batting aver age has climbed steadily and is now lingering within shade of 325.
 Chuck Klein has managed to shake the blight that has been cast over his hitting and has played an important part in the amazing drive. His average is still far below the real Klein standard but it is rising steadily. He hit three homers in the series with the Brooklyn Dodgers and boosted his home run total to 18.

What a merry little free-for-al the National leaguers are staging in the race for the precious bunt- ing!
 The New York Giants settled back after they downed the St. Louis Cardinals in four straight games for a bit of a breather. Heading east they felt quite secure in the knowledge that in downing the "gashouse gang" from St. Louis they had regained 3ia-game lead.
 Their peace of mind was short lived, for before they could let their pulses return to normal they felt the hot breath of the pennant-hun- gry Cubs beating on their necks. Those busy boys from Chicago pro- gressed long way along the pen nant trail in the month of July.
 On July 6 they launched drive that lifted them from a spot ten full games behind the league-lead- ing Giants to the point where they were on the very threshold Of the league leadership.
 Manager Charlie Grim suddenly found combination that clicked in a big way. They ran a streak of eight straight victories over Pitts burgh, Boston and Philadelphia, and then added another one, five games in length, against Philadelphia and New York. But that was nothing compared to their latest string of Il winning games in a row.
 Four Twin Wins in Week!

LEGION WINS CITY LEAGUE
 CHAMP PI0NSHIP
Doughboys Beat Moose ir Final Game of Year
 by 4 to } Count
RESULTS YESTERDAY Legion 4, Moose 3 (postponed game; called end sixth, dark ness).

A broken thumb had much to dc with the Legion winning the cham pionship of the City Baseball league for the first time in IA years.
 In a postponed game last night at Baseball Park-the final contest of the 1885 season here-the Legion defeated the Moose, to 3. to win the second-half title. Because that same club also had captured the first-half gonfalon, 1t became 1885 City League champion without the necessity of a Little World Series
 And Tom Haines' broken thumb had much to do with that critical game, postponed repeatedly because of rainy weather. Haines is the reg ular Moose catcher. He appeared last night with an injured thumb, so was put out in right field. Dave Turner, a fine pitcher. but mex perienced when 1t comes to the catching department, volunteered to be Black Sox backstop.
 Passed Ball Fatal
 In the fifth inning, with the Le- zion at bat, the score was tied, 3-all Joe Snow. by virtue of stinging single to right field. and Bob Boyd's one-base ply, was perched on third Pitcher Claude Erskine steamed one at Ward McAlister, the next Le- zion batter. It got away from Fur ner, and in came Snow with what proved to be the winning run on a passed ball. True the veteran Haines might have erred on the same play but that broken thumb figured nevertheless.
 The Legion started things with 6 riot of scoring in the very first frame. John Koshak was hit by 8 pitched ball, went to second on Ken Junge's neat single to left and romped on to third on an outfield error. He scored a moment later on Turner's first passed ball, a high pitch which he should have stopped
 Boyd brought Junge in with a rousing triple to deep right. The Legion catcher scored the third run when McAlister pumped a one base ply through short
 Then, with the chance of a Little World Series playoff glimmering the Moose got busy in the second Turner was safe on fielder's choice. He went to third on Jimmy Manning's single, spiking the rub Der as Haines rifled one down the third-base line.

Final Hurling Statistics Still Leave Selec-

Ward McAlister or Claude Frs kine? Take your pick. A final re- lease of official pitching statistics still leaves the selection of the City Baseball Leagues No. One hurler for the 1885 season, in doubt. Mc- Alister, with the strong Legion team back of him, won nine games in ten starts. Erskine, a Moose, won six in ten.
 However, there is this statistical data to consider: Erskine allowed but 13 earned runs in 62 innings; McAlister permitted 27 earned runs in 73 frames. And Erskine led the loop in strike-outs, whiting 7S bat ters.
