National Circuit Also Alp. preaching Best Year
 Since Imitation Era
By GEORGE KIRKsEY

 New York. Aug. 10. (UP)-Major league turnstiles are clicking ct the merriest gait since the infiation era.
 Both leagues are approaching their best years, Already the Amer. ican league has drawn 4,0i0, ,293 paid admissions and the National league 4,i07,222 for c grand total of 9,72e,- b05. Each league is sure to go well over 6,000000 with a chance they may hit 7o00,o00 If the races don't cool of completely.
 The New York Yankees arc shoot. ing at oil time records. They've played to 074,946 persons in 42 play Ing days at Yankee Stadium, an average of more than 23000 per game, On the road they've played to 73i,3i2 in 40 playing dates. The total for oil Yankees games in l,70e i67. The Tanks all time road record Of about 100000 Is almost certain to topple with about 90 playing dates left.
 The Giants top the National league in attendance with 000.700 for 4b playing dates at the Polo Grounds. Next comes the Chicago Cubs with 605 ,000 for 42 home dates.
 Although they've never really been seriously in the race, the Do. troit Tigers are drawing unusually well with 07i ,0b0 for 4i playing dates ct Navin field. one of the big surs pricses is the drawing power of the White Box at home, b83,600 for a playing dates. That's probably the most business the White 9ox have done since the Black sox scandal days.
 The Yankees and White eox staged the two biggest crowd days, A Sunday double-heador at Yankee Stadium June 20 drew 69,03o. On Tuesday. August 3, they played to the biggest week day crowds Of the year, 06,707.
 Yesterday was an off-day oil around the baseball circuit. The only development was the sale Of Ben Cantwell, right-handd pitcher. by the Giants to the desperate Dodgers.
 Cantwcil served most Of the seas son with the Jersey iCty Internas tionai league club, but was recalled by the Giants two weeks ago.
 The reopening Of competition toe day finds the eastern and western clubs ifl each league playing in their own sections for the next i2 days, No more east.west games arc scheduled until August 24,

WINNERS SEEK CONTEST WITH
 EAST END MEN
SS. Peter and Paul Ex. pected to Agree to Home
 and Home Match

The veteran St. Thomas Holy Name quoit team, chairmaned by the agile Martin Crean, advanced Q notch further toward the Holy Name championship of the city last evening when they rolled up IS to 8 victory over the St. Patrick ringers on the latter's lanes. It was the second successive defeat the Grown Streeters administered to the boys from across the bridge. '
 Sergeant Barney Burns who has been tossing quoits since Hector was 6 pup once again was the shining light of the winners although his accomplishments just barely over- shadowed the great performance of smiling Timmy Shea.
 John Delaney and Matty Kitchen proved the best bets for the losers. A large and appreciative crowd turned out for the match which was more keenly contested than the score indicates.
 Public Relations Counsel Leo Conway of St. Thomas had the wires burning this morning in an effort to get in touch with Johnny Wrenn of Sts. Peter and Paul's for Q home and home match in the near future. The East Enders are expected to come to terms quite willingly as they have hopes too of annexing the city crown,

 Saving RutIi's Game
August 10, 1917, at Boston This ls the best game pulled out

(This Is the best game pulled out
 Of fire on August lO).
 Three runs behind going into the final half Of the ninth, Boston staged m amazing finish, to down Detroit, 6 to 1.
 Roland, who replaced James in the eighth, owing to Bilis wildness. himself walked Thomas, Ruth, and Walsh, in succession, to start the last of tn eninth. Hoblitzell then tripied, clearing the bases and knot. ting the score. After 0ardner's out Hooper connected safely, driving Hoblitzell home with the winning run.
 Although James was wild, issuing ten bases on balls during the seven innings nc worked, he held the Red eox to one run. principally through the fine defensive work of his mates. This run was the result Of Ruins drive into the center ficld bleachers in the fifth. ..
 Ruth pitched q rare areicle Of bali for Jack Barry, and deserved c bet. ter fate than the four runs chalked ip against him. Babe gave only four singles, but his i've walks. combined with two Red eox errors, caused most of the runs made of him.
 Note; This was twenty years ago that Ruth did this. During the years of Ruth's reign since then as the King of Swat, tt became quite coffls mon for long distance records to De broken. Since the advent of the more lively bail, Ruth's coinpeti. tors, aS well as himself, have eclipsed long distance Swats Of long standing ifi the various parks.

one of the toughest emergencies ever faced by a performer.

The director demanded that he sing It in French, SO, with only 48 hours no. tice, he learned the entire opera n the new language. But the strain of this task found Bona.Nova on opening night almost completely eX- hauSted. During one aria, his ner' vousness took the form of hieeoughS that repeatedly attacked him on long sustained notes.

Colored Champ Admires Man Whom He Won
 Crown From

pompton Lakes. W. J., August TO-, - Jim Braddocks surprise visit to Joe Louis training camp stands out in the new champions book as his top thrill in the first two weeks Of his training for the Tommy Farr bout at the Yankee Stadium on August 20. Louis has q warm ad- mlration 10 rths man from whom he won the title few wceksb ago, 6 feeling which k shared by hb two managers and trainer, Jack Black burn.
 "A grand fellow" Joe will tell you when Draddock iS mentioned. He gave mo c chance at hb title. FIG gave me c hard fight but always clean. He'll always be welcome at any of my camps". .
 Joe's managers elaborate . little more on this idea. No doubt Joe has heard many nice things about the former champion in the table talk where oEly Joe and his ento'ir- age are included. ..
 We know, Of course, Of the difti- culties which were thrown in the paths Of some other boxers of our race" remarked Julian Black rec gently when Braddock's name came into the conversation. some champions have refused to fight . negro. Jim didn't deny uB such an opportunity. He was c real champion oil the way, c hard but alWoys clean fighter in the ring, a graceful loser who offered no all. bis. We oil hold the highest regard sor him"
 Louis extended c very generous compliment in welcoming his recent adversary to his camp. Joe was playing ball in the yard when Brad dock and his manager. Joe Gould, alighted from ai. automobile. The new tltie.hoider halted his exerciS. ing, walked over to Braddock and, eS he reached out to shake hands, he said: Hello, champ, how'S
 "vine. saiIor," answered Brad. dock, "and 1 hope everything's okay with you. "The reference to "sailer" was due to the fact that JoeS garb at the time included 6 while coat and white hat such as are frequent ly worn on . cruise.
 " Braddock and his party were ssryed with c special meal in what amounted to Q private dining room. They were treated aS guests of honor during their stay. They were sscorted to one Of the few boxes which have ben set ID on ofily one side Of the ring. Other prom. lnent people were in attendance at IJoe,s workout that day, but Brad- dock got most attention.
 The man who no longer rules the Eing domain was king for . day, at feast in this sector Of the boxing world.

The uncertainty of radio means better programs, That's the belief of Raymond Paige, Hollywood Hotep maestro.
 One day performer may be rid. ing Q bull market to fame, says Ray, but one bad program can start wave of short selling by dialers on subsequent programs and send the etheri2er Into oblivion. It b this uncertainty, he believes, that makes for consistently high geared pro- grams. This necessity of caution keeps the broadcasters on their toes and, If by chance they do turn in a poor effort, they strive twice aS hard the following broadcast to get their wares across. In radio one never knows when fickle fame may start flirting with another.
 Paige Is one Of the better exam. ples of q radio musical director who has managed to catch and retain hold on public fancy. His secret lies in the fact that he takes advantage of uncertainty by making certain liS HuSG b DlpC1eu to hREuU WltH current moods and modes.
 Radio, In time, will develop
 some of the finest writing that
 has ever been known In the ens
 tertainmcnt field. So says
 Charles Martin, author Of the
 dramatixAtlons on the "Johnny
 Presents" programs.
 Radio drama, contends Mar
 tin. like both the stage and
 screen, has been going through
 a development stage, always
 tending toward finer things, as
 witness the recent Shakespeare
 and the proposed Eugene 0'Neill
 airings. However, the kiloeycles
 must do by the medium of voice
 alone what tho stage and screen
 portray by both sight and sound.
 That's why its dramatic pres.
 entations must have more
 punch per line.

The animals, elephants and seals, verge a bit toward the modernistic, but are really very good, as this is the first work of this kind they have done. They are also mak- ing puppets.
