Weight Making Talk Draws Physical Exam
 for Armstrong

New York, August 12. - (UP) - Annoyed at reports that Henry Armstrong might not be able to make the 135-pound weight limit for his lightweight title defense against Lou Amoers August 22, Promoter Mike Jacobs has asked Boxing Commission Chairman John Phelan to examine the cham pion today.
 Jacobs believes Arrnstrong's man. ager, Eddie Mead, has created doubts as to whether Henry can make the weight in order ito have an alibi in advance in case Armstrong loses"
 "In my opinion Armstrong could dry out over night and get down to 135," he said. T have signed Arm strong and Ambers to box for the lightweight title, and you can rest assured that's what they'll be fight ing for. Mead may think he's kid ding Al Veil (Ambers' nanager) f, but he isn't kidding he. I know Armstrong will make 135 pounds. Mead sounds as though he's looking for an alibia so that if Armstrong loses, he will have his excuses all prepared"
 Jacobs said that Phelan would be accompanied by commission physi- clan, Dr. William Walker, to Arm strong's Pompton Lawes, N. J., camp today, land we'll put stop to this silly weight making talk"
 Henry worked two rounds with @ welterweight yesterday, I'd after shower, he was just under 140 pounds.
 Previously Mead had said, If Arm strong was unable to make the weight without endangering his health, he would go before the Tues day meeting of the commission and ask that Henry be allowed to fight for his Welter title instead of the lightweight crown.

LOOP LEADERS OUT TO CLINCH
 1889 PENNAN7
Brooklyns Paired With OverlOks at Hamilton
 Park

On the surface, all that stands between the North End Thomas Club mailing down their second championship within three seasons. is the Washington Hills of the City Amateur league, scheduled to meet the Tommies Sunday, and . protest filed by the Brooklyn A. o. manage ment, scheduled to be settled Mon- day. Tomorrow the Brooklyns and Overlooks meet in another game while the Sacred Hearts and Tri- bunes are also paired.
 Players?
 A win for the Washington Hills over the North End Tommies and 8 similar and expected victory for the Brooklyns over the Overlooks will bring about that well known sailors knot tie requiring . playo6 game between the two tied leaders, who are not scheduled to meet each other again this season unless Q playoff is necessary.
 Manager Paul Doran of the Hills feels that his team has lone good game left in them" and tomorrow is the day 1t is due to be played, so that the Brooklyn protest can be dispensed with through the medium of a playoff game the title decided on the baseball field, where 1t should be won or lost.
 Protest Up
 However, should the Tommies and Brooklyns both win, the one game edge for the north enders would still obtain and the protest filed by Brooklyn against the use of pitcher Decker of the Thomas Club would assume paramount importance. That "home run ball hit by Mack is also part of the Brooklyn protest, but the chief squawk is on Decker.
 Overlooks, . team that has pro- vided one major upset this season can knock the Brooklyns right out of the title picture with win to- morrow, should the Hills fail to defeat the Tommles. As for the Tribes and Hearts that may be a good game to watch, too, who knows?

 GIANTS 2 HITS
Higbee Just Missed Shut out Due to Six Weeks;
 NeWSOm Wins

New York, Aug. 12-tUP)-Kirby Higbe, supposed to be too green to be entrusted with serious labor, ap- peared to be on the border of star dom today. He proved 1t when he pitched the Phillies to 2-1 vic- tory over the Giants at the Polo Grounds yesterday permitting only two hits.
 He walked six men and that cost him shutout. He opened the sev- enth with two walks. Tom Hafey sacrificed, and then one of the men he walked scored on force out. Only two men reached third on him, one of them scoring.
 Bill Lee scored victory No. IA when he pitched the Cubs to a 3-2 vic- tory over the Pirates. He allowed only six hits. The Cub youngsters, Bill Nicholson from Chattanooga and Bobby Mattick from Milwaukee each drove in run.
 The Tanks had one big inning scoring six runs, to top the Athlet- les, 9-5 and add @ half game to their American League lead, bring ing 1t up to six games.
 Buck Newsom's single in the ninth enabled the talkative Tiger pitcher to win his own game over the Browns, for former club, 4-3.
 YESTERDAYS HERO - Kirby Higbe, Phillies' youngster who let the Giants down with two hits to gain a 2-1 decision over Hal Schu- macher.
 Red Sox Vs Senators
 Boston, Aug. 12-(UP)-The Bos- ton Red Sox and the Washington Senators open @ three-game series here today with 8 single game. A double header will be played tomor- row. The Boston Bees open three game series with the Dodgers at Brooklyn with a single game.
 The Sox slipped back a half game yesterday in their current struggle with the leaeue-leading Yankees who defeated the Philadelphia Ath- letics, 9-5, while then Sox were idle. The New Workers now enjoy 8 six game lead.
 MdIlhRcI JOC SAOAAAA Woo SAANS cided about today's pitcher but probably will use Wade or Gale house.
 Though the Bees did not play yesterday, they have plenty to talk about in Ford Tricks action in slap ping a $25 fine on Manager Casey Stengel for delaying Wednesdays game, by stalling, and on account of various other things"
 As far as the "stalling" is con- cerned, Casey claims 1t was the um- pires who were guilty. And as for the various other things" Presi- dent Prick probably means Sten- gels trick of using 8 fiashlight in the fast-gathering dusk to signal his players on the field.
 When the Red Sox conclude their series with the Senators, they will leave Boston for another road trip while the Bees return for home stay.

Kayak II Ready
 For 4 Races On Eastern Tracks
BY JACK GUNTHER United Press Racing EditOr)

Saratoga Springs, N. Y, Aug. 12 -(UP)-Kayak II arrived today, carrying his battle for the handicap crown into an enemy camp.
 The lop-eared South American charger, undisputed king of the Pa cific Coast, will have a brief rest before he takes up series of four engagements. Three will be run here and one in New England.
 In the merchants and citizens handicap, on Aug. 27, he may match strides with Johnstown.
 Charles s. Howard, his owner, won't arrive for another week and no word was forthcoming from William Woodward, Johnstown's owner. But unless one horse suc- cumbs to illness or injury, their meeting is assured-if not here, then elsewhere.
 There are two reasons why they may be kept apart during the Sara toga meeting. Both have been booked for the Narragansett special, in the fall, a race which has darwn the nominations of Challedon, Cra- vat, Sun Lover, Pompoon, among others. More important, however, is the fact that Alfred Vanderbilt wants to renew the Pimlico special. Good Idea
 Vanderbilt has preached the spe- cial to both owners. It would be held in November and the horses mentioned are Johnstown, Challe- don, Kayak II and Cravat. Such 8 meeting could easily settle both the three year old and the handicap championships all in one. Further, 1t was in the special that Seabis- cult proved his sovereignty by humblirg War Admiral, and it is therefor sentimental reasons If nothing else-that Howard would like to see Kayak II uphold the Vests superiority again.
 Kayak II is the only major unde- feated horse this season and is the leading money winner. He won the S100.000 Santa Anita handicap, the $50,DO0 Hollywood gold cup. and sev- eral stakes of $10,000 or more. Twice he drubbed Cravat, admittedly the best handicap campaigner in the East, and has splintered track rec- ords along the way
 Sons and daughters of two i'm ported stallions, Sir. Gallahad III and Blenheim IT., dominated tht Saratoga sales again last night when a record price of $273, ,43O wal paid for 58 yearlings.
 The nights sales sent the tota for four days to $773,100 for an az. gregate of 262 head.

Several Major Stake Races At 7 Tracks Today
(By United Press)

More than $300OO will be distrib- uted in nine major stake races at seven race tracks today but the big battle-the only one of its kind in America-will take place at Sara toga where at least nine speedy juveniles will fight for a $9,750 prize in a winner-take-all duel.
 The race Is the 37th running of the Saratoga special over the six furlong route and, at least for the owners, second or third in this one Is just as bad as being out of the money. For the op prize of $9,750, If all nine start, goes to the winner and the others get nothing but the exercise.
 Heading the field Is the Millsdale Stables Andy K, winner of the re- cent Arlington Futurity and the dis qualified winner of the United States Hotel Stakes last Saturday at Sara toga. And, if he wins today, Andy K. can take an early strangle-hold on the 1899 two-year-old title.
 Andy K. and his seven male com- panions-Flight Command, Call to Colors, Col E. R. Bradley's Speedy Western Invader, Bimelech, Briad Sharp, Stage Fright, Ballast Reef and Fenelon-will carry 122 pounds. A. G. Vanderbilt's Ally, Now What, gets in with 1l9.
 The 37th running of the Cham plain Stakes, a mile and furlong $2 1000 added job for three-year-old and upwards, co-features the Spa program. Mrs. B. F. Whitaker's fouryear-old Sickle T., with IF pounds, Is rated the horse to feat Other entries are Masked General 112; Strabo, 106; Shangay Lily, 107 Birthday, 1O2; Heel Fly, no, ane Burning Star, 113.
