Br HUGH S. FULLERTON. tlmaha Ha lwr M ir. New York, July .'.--llaseball i. practically at the half way point of the 1022 if awn and in the National league the pennant race practically ia decided. The dope which indicat ed that the New York (iiant out classed their league ii working out, not because of any over weening strength on the' part of the Giant, but because of the fact that no team hat shown evidence of possessing power enough to displace tht Mc Graw tribe. St Louis, in fact, aeema now to be the only team with chance and its chatce depends not upon itt own strength, but upon the faint hope that the Giant pitch ing "gtatf may crumble to even a greater extent than it has done al ready. And when a team ran win, and wui rather consistently, with a pitching staff as wabbly as Mc Graw't lias been for the last month, it is a real ball elub. If I' were making a book on the National race now the odds would be about thus: sw Win Pines) 8 how .. 1-1 l-S Out ..11-5 4-5 1-4 .. 4-1 a-a 4- .. 7-1 1S-5 -S ..1S-1 4-1 8-1 ..SO-1 C-l , S-l . sfl-i it-i s-i ao-i la-i i.i hw Vrk X.

Their weakness in pitching is quite as pronounced as the preseason dope indicated that itwould be. Injuries Hurt Team. Further than that, the frequent and serious injuries to Groh have hurt the team. But, in spite of weak pitching anJ strata avitnaac a f 4l irAiinnelare piiu me vuuaps ua a, lie y uuiikii 9 who were supposed to strengthen the tottering staff, the team is leading in hitting, in run-getting, in base-running and in the majority of branches of fielding. The reserve power of the Giants is greater than that of any of the other teams, and, in spite of pitching weakness, about the only chance for, any team to beat them out is a train wreck or the sudden 20 per cent pitching improvement of the Cardinals. . The dcye in March said that the Cardinals were the second best team in the National; that they would be powerful in attack, and the only team really dangerous to. the Giants. The first half of the season has amply proved that the dope was correct. I figure that the Cardinals lost their chance of the championship ihrough failure to add consistency to the pitching staff. One more consistent pitcher, capable of winning better than 60 per cent of his games, would to relieve the others that the Car dinals would wade through. There is no sign that the needed aid to the rtitrhincf deoartment is developing. Besides that, the team is spotty. It figured to be one of the most vicious hitting teams in, the circuit, yet we find its team batting average third in the list, which indicates a spotty at tacking lineup. The great hitting of Hornsby, of course, has helped the average, so that there must be vital Weakness elsewhere in the lineup and a spotty lineup which causes breaks in batting rallies will not help in these days when the managers are throwing all baseball science to the winds and telling the batters to rap the first ball pitched. Develops Strength. . Brooklyn, which figured only fourth in the spring dope, now is up third in the figures, partly because it has developed . a little more strength, (chiefly in catching), than the dope indicated, but more because Pitts burgh is not living up to its figure strength. On paper the Pirates are just as strong as they figured to be. On the field they are not. The Strangest freak perhaps in National league dope is the failure of the Pittsburgh pitchers against'the New York Giants. Any student of the game would be compelled to figure Hamilton, Adams and Cooper about as dangerous a trio against the Giants as anv three in the circuit; yet they have 'failed wretchedly and, m fact, the Giants owe the preponderance of their" lead in the league to the over whelming of Pittsburgh, i The show ing of Pittsburgh in its series against the Giants on the Polo grounds was but little short of disgraceful. No clear explanation of the fact that as soon as they struck New York the team quit hitting and the pitchers quit pitching has yet been advanced. The Robins, on the other hand, have been hammered all around by the Giants during earlier season games, but have given the McGraw is about the best left-hander in the outfit a hard battle recently and .u...t. ktter Win. In fact, the 9llJTtl vn-fc-- " ' Giants fear the Robin pitchers more than they do those ot any outer ciuu in the- circuit Ruether Deserves Credit ' The sudden advance in Brooklyn stock is due very largely to the great work of Dutch Ruether, who, having settled down to serious work, business. If this fellow does not win 26 games for his team this year it will be a surprise, t I believe that the Brooklyn chances were -wrecked during the early spring training. The pitchers came into top form too early, went back and have had a hard time trying to regain their proper form. - Cincinnai. rather hopeless at the start, has improved under Moran s handling. Had Rousch been in the - lineup fronij the start, and working properly, the' team would have per haps six-tnore games to its credit and would be up close. It.ts now a " good team, of course, with its Coast league infield, but it is hustling. The fact that Donohue, doped to be one of the best pitchers in the country, seems to have lost his pitching arm, injured the team. As to the Cubs, of course no one figured then a real chance at top honors. . It is a team in process of building, and it ia being built right Wills Posts $2,500 to Bind Match 1 f Can Jack Derapety make Harry Wills lose his smile? Harry Wills has challenged Jaok Dempsey to fight for the heavyweight championship and posted $2,500 to bind the match. From Los Angelea came word that the champion had canceled his contract for vaudeville tour to go into training. Who is he going in training for The theory has been to get the right sort of fellow was only to keep will ing workers and players who would hustle whether the team is in first or last place. It has kept hustling. Its low standing during the early months was due to paucity of hitting, but, with Miller clouting as he has been, the batting has picked up and the team has moved up in batting strength and in consistency. It has as good as a fighting chance to beat out Cincinnati for the top honors in the second division. Boston a Disappointment. " Frankly, Boston is a disappoint ment. A lot of the eastern critics had an idea that Mitchell would get his team to working and put over another one of those long shots as he and Stallings once did with the Braves. Not a chance. The attack ing power is too badly scattered and the consistency of a mediocre pitch ing staff failed to stand up against the ssault and battery tactics of modern baseball. And his own hit ting power, facing slightly superior pitching on the average, has not shown well. Besides which the ma chine he manufactured from odds and ends cast off by other clubs has not made runs in proportion to hitting. Philadelphia, of course, is hopeless, but even Wilhelm is deserving of a good word. Any one who can take a hunk of cheese and make it resemble gold bullion at times is some baseball alchemist. He has done extremely well with the material at his com mand and he has used his two com petent pitchers to beat strong clubs while taking his wallopings from his equals or near equals. Fletcher, of course, has been a big aid in the brain department. One Setback. The Giants had one short period of real fright when the entire pitching staff went to pieces, but it is rallying a little and the team gets a well pitched game occasionally, and its at tack is more resourceful and forceful than any of the others. Look over the number of hits, number of bases on balls, the extraordinary number hit by pitched fall (the old McGraw system of getting on), the safe bunts and the number of times runners have reached first on errors, and then see the sheer hitting power assembled to smash those runs home, and per haps it will convince you that the Giants have scoring strength enough to overcome the superior pitching of the others.

Umpires Vote Not to Officiate in Games With Outlawed Players Oaths Bee Lease Wire. New York, July 2. Members of the Interstate Umpires ' Protective association have voted not to offi ciate . in ; games in - which outlawed ball players participate, according to a statement issued Friday by Harry aiexas. president of the association. This decision is in . line with the policy outlined by Baseball Commis sioner Landis, in dealing with play ers who have been barred from or ganized baseball. It is assumed that the action of the umpires was large ly determined by the discovery that Joe Jackson and Buck Weaver, two of the players involved in the White Sox scandal, have been operating in New York state and New Jersey nn- -der assumed names for the past month.

A 15- year-old hurlcr in a high school league who won 10 of the 13 games he pitched, is the record of MelvinJ Westlake, son of Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Westlake of Colerain, O., ace of the Martins Ferry High school team, victors in 13 out ot 16 games, High School league. Westlake's teams, victors in 13 out of 16 games, won the championship over Wheel- ij:g. W. Va.

Other Ohio teams were Shadyside and Bridgeport High schools. In deciding the championship Wheeling and Martins Ferry each won a game. Westlake pitched and won three games that week. The fol lowing week the deciding game was played on Wednesday afternoon. Westlake duplicated. His hitting fea tured two of the games in the final series. . The league brought out the best high school pitching? in the history of the game in the Wheeling dis trict. Paul Spring of Wheeling rank ed second to Westlake, winning six out of eight games. Miles and Fur- niss of Linsly Military institute, won Patterson Wins Over KiiHscote o Wimbledon. Tulv 2. Ai most sen sational game of tennis was fur nished the spectators Saturday when Gerald Patterson, the Australian ex pert, defeated A. R. F. Kingscote of the British Davis cup team in thej Singles ot the international grass court championships today,. 6-4, 3-6, 5-7, 6-4. 6-3. The victory came after a terrific struggle, during which the Australian had to retire lor a time on account of illness. - Miss Elizabeth Ryan of California earned the right to continue in the Lasques singles play by defeating Miss Harvey, England, 6-3, 6-3, the American not having to extend her self. Mrs. Peacock, England, also continues in the play, having won her match with Miss Holman, a country woman, 7-5, -0. Play in the championship is now approaching the dramatic stage, with the men's singles in the bracket of the last eight, among them Randolph Lycett, Australia, who defeated J. Brugnon, France, today, 6-2, ; 1-6, 7-5, 6-3; Theodore M. Mavrogor dato, England, and Patterson. , Jack Graney to Manage Boosters Jack Graney, veteran outfielder with the Cleveland American league team, has been signed as manager of the Des Moines Western league club to "succeed Dick Breen, who resigned yesterday, according to Secretary Lee Keyser. Keyser also announced the purchase of S. W. (Mike) Wil son, a catcher from the .Pittsburgh National league club. Graney has been the property of the Cleveland Indians since 1908 and has been playing regular lineup since 1910. Smoky Joe ' ' Woods Says Pitching Today Not Like It Was Years Ago Cleveland, O., Juiy 3. Comment ing on the tremendous hitting by ball players in the past two seasons, Joe Wood,' veteran Cleveland American Leaguer, who when .known, as "Smoky Joe," was one of the game's greatest pitchers, said the pitching today is not as good as it was ten or twelve years ago. "Individually," said Wood,' "there are some pitchers equal to most of those of eight or ten years ago. But search the two big leagues and see if you can find a Cy Young, a Jack Chesbro, an Addie Joss, a Mordecai Brown, a Christy Mathewson, an Ed Walsh, an Eddie Plank, a Rube Waddell, a Bill Donovan or a Wal ter Johnson. True, Johnson is pitch ing today, but he is not the same old Walter who could pitch . the ball past vou. "What's the reason? 'There are two. The success of Ed Walsh, Jack With Dempsey aw '". is now the question. each of the three games in which they started. Taylor of Martins Ferry; Rosenmerkel of -Mounds-vilee, and Paur of Wheeling, each won two games without a defeat. Paur, Rosenmerkel and Evans of Martins Ferry pitched shutout games. Bernic Weiskircher of Ca thedral High. leads in the strikeout record. He fanned 106 batsmen, but won only one game. Westlake had 87 strikeouts. Red Storch of Tridel phia is only four behind him. 'crooblecl'.. orts wy$ The Omaha Buffaloes are on their way to a second division .berth. Yep, the herd is going' to land in the second division soon. Burch said so himself. Thus far the team has won 10 straight victories and is little more than a game behind the Sioux City Packers. The Omaha tinrlpra tiau liif thoir stride and the apple knockers have at last discovered their right bats, de clares Coach "Cap" Lcidy. Burch has seven hurlcrs on his staff and if necessary uses all seven in a game. Frequent changes in the lineup has helped the club win their 10 straight. Yaryan didn't stay long with the Kansas City club. After the Blues turned the former Wichita catcher and fence-buster back to the White Sox, Roger Bresnahan purchased him for his Toledo Mudhens and released Earl Wolgamot. The. St. Joseph Saints are safely entrenched in the lead of "Pa" Tear ney's Western league race. The Minneapolis Millers are playing pretty good ball, and as long as the Millers turn in a few victories the St. Joseph club will not lose any good players. The rule of the New York state athletic, commission, which the referee awarded the recent Leonard Britton bout to Brittom on a foul, is as follows: X contestant shall be deemed down when any part of his body other than his feet is on the ring floor. Under "fouls." the rule reads: Hitting an opponent who is down or Is retting- up after being down. The Marqulx of Queensburjr rnles read: "If either man fall through accident or otherwise, he mnst get np unasalsted, 10 seconds to be allowed him to do so, the other man meanwhile to return to his corner, and when the fallen man Is on his legs, the round Is to be resumed." Pete Wendell, swimming director at the Omaha Athletic club, calls our attention to the fact that swimming is the greatest of sum mer sports. He says: "I play golf and tennis, but have found that there is more real sport in swim ming. In the first place it is a lot cooler than other sports, and there are no scores to keep. One doesn't have to race with anyone, unless he wishes to, and when one finishes he - feels ' better than when he started." f Eddie Welsh, Ike Bernstein's promising welterweight fighter, and Dennie O'Keefe will meet in a 10 round bout at Michigan City Tues day. In a letter to the writer,- Ike says that he would like to match Welsh with Schlaifer. - Chesbro and others started a flock of pitchefs using the spitter. Others recognized the ability oi Russell Ford, Eddie Cicotte, Fred Falken- berg and others to pitch wonderful ball by doctoring 'the ball and they tried to follow in their footsteps. ''When the powers that rule base ball threw out all the freak deliveries except the spitter, the stock in trade of: many, a successful pitcher was taken away front him. The limita tion of ' the use- of the spitball to those who already were in the major leagues cut down the number of pitchers who could throw that ball effectively. And in the meantime thousands of youngsters on the sand lots and in colleges who had been ac quiring success by use of the spitter or doctored balls, found they had been wasting theid time. As a result all that bunch failed to come through as they had no legitimate delivery to fall back on. National l at it Win IMMble-Hsoder. Clnelnnsil. July f HI.
