BIG BU|LDERS-UP
Flags in 1888 or 1899 Due

Made This Year.
BY SID FEEDER.
Associated Press Sports Writer.


n yEW YORK, July 8.-If YOU
N haven't picked your pennant
" selections for. say. 1888 or
1899. the current No. l builder
uppers Of the big leagues-the Wash
ington Senator'S and Cincinnati Reds
may bear some looking over.
On the hypothesis they continue
to show the improvement which has
made them the standout surprises of
1886, these two clubs have fine
chance of finishing right up there in
Q couple Of years.
Undoubtedly. If that kid" bunch in
Cincinnati continues its huge for
ward strides of the last two seasons,
with vital spots at first base. shortstop
and the pitchers box now plugged up
satisfactorily, it will be increasingly
tough to overlook next year and even
tougher in 1888.
Griffs Speed Tempo.
RY THE same token, the Senators
with such comparatively recent
Improvements as Buddy Lewis, Ben
Chapman and Jesse Hill; the grand
comeback of Ossie Bluege and the far
better pitching from Yankee cast-off
Jimmy De Shong and Buck Newsom
definitely are on the upgrade.
For the last two years these two
combinations have been moving up
In 1884, the Reds. as was their GUS
tom in those days, we're deep in the
National League cellar. The Mats
we're only one rung above the bottom
in the American. Last year both
wound up in sixth place. Now they
are tearing the 1886 pennant chases
wide open with first division berths.
With the Reds. the main work ended
in the finding of Rookie Les Scarsella
to replace the aging Jim Bottomley at
first. This newcomer. less heralded
than most others of the big-time
freshman crop, was called from To-
ronto at moments notice and now is
batting at ,3l5 pace.
De Shong Is No. 1 Break.
RILLY MYERS at shortstop is hit
ting .3ll, compared to his .267 for
1895. Cal Chapman is doing .3l9.
The form reversals for the better of
pitchers AL Hollingsworth and Don
Brennan and the continued top
flight hurting of Paul Derringer also
are playing big part in the Red cam
paign. So is the work of Second-year-
man Alec Kampouris at second and
the development of Gilly Campbell as
able assistant to Ernie Lombardi be-
hind the plate.
There also is the fine work OF come
hackers Kiki Cuyler, batting .322, and
Babe Herman. Although they will
have to be replaced before many more
campaigns, they will do for the time
being.
In the Senators dugout, even though
Buddy Myer, the 1885 league batting
king, has been ailing. the stickwork
Of Lewis, Hill, Joe Kuhel and Ralph
Kress, all well over the 800 mark, and
the advantageous substitution Of Ben
Chapman for Jake Powell, is taking
care of the attack.
In the pitching office the trade with
the Yanks for De Shong turned out to
be a No. break. His work, along
with that Of Buck Newsom, is making
the Senators hard to get by in the
league.

Joe Has Nerves. Too.


I TNDER no circumstances can you
condemn Di Maggio-as Di Mag
gio. After all this is his first year in
the major leagues. He is only 81
years old The principle of picking a
rookie, however, is what now is subject
to debate.
If Di Maggie cannot fill the bill in
an all-star game then it seems that
no rookie can do it. Beyond much
question the Pacific Coast Italian has
been tops this year among the
major league rockies. More than even
his rating is the youngsters makeup.
He is no fiery. temperamental type.
Di Maggie impressed all who
saw him in American League
play as a young fellow utterly
without nerves "a smooth
working, almost robot Like work.
man in whose veins flows ice
water.
Yet, the all-star game, seemingly
disclosed that Di Maggie has nerves
Joe proved that he could step out of
the minors and into a bi-league Job
without batting an eyelssh. He did it
under doubly difficult circumstances,
too, coming to the Yankees as the
most highly-tooted rookie. perhaps,
of all time.
All-Star Game Is Test.
MANY minor league star has
A failed to survive this test. Paul
Strand, whom Connie Mack pur-
chased for staggering sum a few
years back, was one Of these.
Di Maggie, seemingly utterly nerve
less. was unaffected by the build-up
and his rise TO sudden fame in the
Yankee line up. He lived up to all
expectations. Yesterday, for the first
time, he proved a flop.
An all-star game, ball players
will tell you, takes lot out Of
performer.
They say they try to make them
selves believe it's just another game,
a parade of talent, show. But when
the gong rings muscles tighten and
the tongue becomes dry even in the
mouths of hardened campaigners.

second base.

EITHER way would have been most
gratifying to Lefty Grove, who

WHAT THE CHRISTMAS SEALS
MAKE POSSIBLE

What the Christmas Seals max
possible in the State of Maryland
was discussed by William B. Mat
thews, Managing Director of the
Maryland tuberculosis Association,
as he urged all people to help con-
tinue the activities of the Associa-
ton.
"The purchase of Christmas Seals
by the people of this state has con-
tributed much to the steady decline
in tuberculosis deaths that has taken
place in the last thirty years." MI.
Matthews said. I'm 1907, when the
annual sale of Seals commenced, the
death rate in Maryland was 2O4 per
100000 population and today 1t Is
70. Some interesting activities of
the Association that have contribut-
ed to this reduction are: a state
wide system of free chest clinics, con-
Quoted by tuberculosis specialists. TO-
diagnosing diseases of the chest; the
Miracle. House, tuberculosis pre-
ventorium for white Maryland child
rem; medical research and a clinic for
teaching tuberculosis diagnosis to
colored physicians. Also an activity
of great value is the year-round
health education program which Is
conducted to teach children and their
parents the value of early diagnosis
and that tuberculosis is both prevent
able and durable.
"All these activities and many
more will be continued IL the people
help by purchasing the Seals. Every
one. by partaking in this sale is help
ing protect their own home and COM
munity from this dread disease"
Mr.. Matthews concluded.
No financial reports of the sale OF
the Seals in the various counties is
due yet, but from all indications the
outlook for a successful sale is hope
full.
