Hr Universal Service Chicago, Aug. 4.—Five bandit* held up 15 bookmaker* and gamblers of the Hnwthorne race track late today and escaped with an amount esti mated at between $60,000 and $100, 000.

British Golfers Retain Prestige London, Aug. 4.—The golfing cor respondent of the "Observer” says that Duncan and Mitchell, by their signal triumph over Hagen and Mac donald Smith In the International challenge match for a stake of $2,500. retrieved a good deal of prestige of British golf lost at Hoylake and else where. “After watching Hagen closely dur ing his short stay in England and France, 1 am more convinced than ever that a part of his wonderful success as a golfer Is due to his com manding personality. The moment he enters into the fray he dominates the situation—the others become mere puppets. He hurls what appear to be casual observations at the enemy; he talks to the ball, reminding it that it has to behave itself: he exchanges quips with the crowd, and makes them laugh. He even encourages ills opponents with shouts of "Good shot, boy; that's a real baby.” - ANNOUNCE ROSTER OF WALKER TEAM New York, Aug. 4.—Robert A.

V . ..J TlIE rule of Queensbarry Is to pro tect yourself at all times. You're not even safe between rounds. Johnny Wilde Was knocked out once hy Villa after the gong. Firpo was slapped south hy Demp sey in the first clinch. Firpo had turned his head to answer the ref eree. Jack let him have it in the middle of the conversation. Many things like that have hap pened in New York when I he referee was not the referee hut merely the third man In the ring. Tunney refuged to nail Carpentier while Carp was off balance. Carp thanked him anil shook hands. The crowd cheered. A round later reversed the operation. Gene had slumbled and his back was toward Carp, who let fly with a right swing strong enough to pull an engine over the Rockies. Fortunately, Tunney's stumble took him out of range hiiiI he doesn't know yet that the chivalrous Mr. Carpentier had repaid his chivalry with Ingratitude. When he turned around there was Carp smiling Frenehily and holding out his hands. It's a tough world. This handshaking business is all sour in the ring, anyway. A fighter knocks a man down. Then he helps him up and the crowd cheers his thoughtfulness. What does the gallant assistant do then? He knocks the poor flounder down again. What kind of etiqurt Is this? He helps him up and knocks him down. The man on the floor should have scorned his assistance. Any man who la not strong enough to get to his feet should get no help from a thug who wants to knock off another day pigeon. When the third man In the ring Is a referee he knows more than tn al low any such Indian help with a tomahawk finish. But when the third man In the ring la only the third man in the ring, then anything can happen. And It al ways does.

KVV YORK, Aug 3 — With the pennant races raging at fever heat and with the outcome, especially in the Amer ican league, cloaked in uncertainty, fans all over the country are pulling against New \orii, which tor the last three years haa exclusively staged the world scries. If past performances count for any thing, the New York Yankees will not be among those present w hen the titular clash starts ill October. Moat detrimental to the chance* of the Y’ankee* coming through for the fourth year in succession is that their pitching staff has suddenly collapsed. Hoyt, although showing flushes of his old time form, has lost more games than he has won the last two months. Hhuwkey ha* been pounded out of the box on hi* recent starts. Push's chief asset to tha Y’anka the last few weeks lias been as a pinch hitter, while Jone suffering from a sere elbow, may be of no further use to the Huggins clan this season. pennock alone of the Yankee ataff has I een consistent and even he was hit hard in Detroit today. The sec ond string pitcher*, Gaston and Mam aux. have failed to impress, while Cliff .\V>rkle was a rompleta flivver. Granted that the Yankees, with Bale Ruth, have a powerful attuck p Is hard to see how they can win the pennant with their plt-hera In such poor form. Many smart baseball mrn are pick ing (lie Washington Sena tins to nose out the Yankees anil Detroit fur tile final honors by their burlinr corps with Walter Johnson and Mogridge, Zsrhary, Ogden, Marherry and Rus sell. has no superior in either league. The rejuvenation of Nemo l.lehold has put the much-needed punch in the outfield, while the infield, while not brilliant, shapes up ucll with Judge, Harris and Peck working like a well oiled machine. Detroit certainly figures to be In the race until the last, because Cobb, the game's hardest loser, will be sure to play every card In the deck before be will concede defeat. If Detroit* rookie pitcher* continue their win ning form, the Tiger* and the Sena ter* should he fighting It out until the last week of the campaign with the chance* of victory favoring the latter because of their veterans, who are not likely to crack under the strain. St. J.ouls, however, must not be counted out of tho race a* yet. for Slater's men are just beginning to hit their real stride and are getting good pitching and hard hitting, the lack of which hampered them in the early stages of the race. While the New York Giant* are en joying a comfortable lead in the N'a tional league, they have by no mean* pot the pennant cinched. Many gray l.airs have been added to the head of John MrOraw because of the me diocre game his charges have been playing the last three weeks and It la only liecause Chicago, their near est rivals, ha* also been in a slump, that the Giants have maintained their advantage. The Giants, as usual, have not been getting good pitching, while the loss of Koss Young In right field, who may he out of the game for the rest of this month, has greatly weakened the attack. Itecause of their sensational spurt,' which culminated In the taking of tile last series from the Giants, the I pirates, who went into serond place today, are now being picked as the Giants' most formidable contenders. In addition to getting good pitch ing, the sensational Cuyler, In the outfield, and Wright at shortstop, has nade the 1’irates dangerous. The chances of the Chicago Cubs d» pend on their six game seriej with the Giants, which opened today with ii victory for the Giants. If the Cubs enn break even or better In these clashes, which does not seem Im probable. the Pirates should be able to plrk Up some lost ground. Tho only persona who are not showing nny concern are the mag nates, who sit hscl: nonchalantly and listen to the Joyful sound of the clicking turnstiles. -—— Barrett Puts Finishing Touches to Tendler as Lightweight Contender J !

Victories—Boosters Copped Three Out of Their Seven Games, Winning From St. Joseph and Wichita. OUTHERN mem bers of the West ern league were feeling all puffed up a couple of weeks ago when they got away with a majority of the week's games in spite of the fact that they were on an in vasion of the north. East week the northern section turned the tables, taking 15 out of the 29 games played, although they were fighting the southerners in their own parks. Denver and Omaha gathered in 10 of the 15 northern victories, the Bears setting the pace hy taking three out of four from Oklahoma City, one from Wichita and two straight from Tul“a. By so doing they passed tlie Oilers and went hack into the runnerup position. Not only did the Grizzlies hit well, driving out an even 100 safeties, but their fielding was good, only nine errors being charged in the eight games. It took lots of runs for them to win for their pitchers were touch ed up for 4."> markers. Denver turned in the heaviest score for the week when it defeated Tulsa, 20 to 7, in Friday's game. Denver was beaten in the second game of a double-header last Sun day by Wichita and then lost the last game of i(s series of four at Oklahoma City for its only reversals of the week. Omaha got in oaly six games dur ing the week, minning four and los ing tmo. Davenport held the Buf faloes to three hits and blanked them last Thursday and the Witches knock ed I,ce out of the box in the first inning Saturday to get a flying start on the game. Tulsa went into a slump after, burning up tilings the previous Meek. The Oilers had a hard struggle in nearly every one of It* four game* with Lincoln, losing one of them, mil tlien was beaten Friday and Saturday by Denver. Lincoln, ufter selling the pace the week previously, hit the bump, win ning only one of It* eight starts. Just when it looked a* if Oklahoma City never would break ltg losing streak and after losing seven straight, Chief Luderus abandoned the attempt to play regularly, retiring to the di rection of the team from the bench .while "Chili" McDaniel was recalled I from Lincoln to take care of first. The tribe started winning immediate ly, taking the last game of the Den ver series and then two straight from Lincoln, Dps Moines also came near break ing even on its week’s play, winning three out of its seven games. Corriden led -hi* men to victory In one game at Wichita and then took a couple St. Joseph. The Saints hit the expected bump* during the week, being able to score only 23 runs In seven games, while errors were numerous. Their pitch ers, however, continued their good work, yielding only 26 runs. Five Western league Dingers added two victories to their season’s records —Lee of Omaha, Davenport of St.' Joseph, Pigg and Freeman of Denver anil Hovelik of Wichita. Songer of; Oklahoma City and Stokes of Des! Moines also turned in fwo triumph*,' but also were beaten onee. Rnssimissen of Linroln, Sellars of Wichita, Curley Brown of Denver were beaten twice without turning In' a single victory, while the consolation priie goes to Berk of Lincoln, whoj lost all three of his start. Only three pitchers turned in shut outs. Songer blanked Ijncoln in last Friday's game, 5 to 0, yielding only four hits. Davenport held Omaha to three hits and scoreless the day before.
