Interest In the heavyweight situation on thla Ue of the Atlantic la dwindling apace, and unless Cauraalan relieve a certain Jark Johnson of the title, ahortljr speculative mani festation will wane until It dlea out en tirely. . For "a time after Johnson thumped Jef frlea into submission at Reno the big fellows commanded atl the attention of the pugilistic element The existence of other divisions never entered the minds of thoae who are the bulwerka of the game. They concentrated their time and energy upon developing a man capable of coplntr with the mighty Kthloplan. The boom In the heavyweight dlvlalon waa on. "White hopes' bobbed up like mushrooms and went Into aeclualon quite a rapidly. "Beat Johnson" waa the slo gun of the palerace, and II.OuO.OOO waa to be the reward of the successful com batant Then Johnaon became Implicated In a government trial and he blithely aklpped to the other. aide of the big- protecting ocean. The aportively Inclined determined to forget Johnaon. It waa decided not to reaurrect him until there appeared a white man who had a chance with the burly black. Johaaoa Forsrottea. Johnaon waa forgotten. The "white hope" brigade soon waa looked upon aa a hopeleaa conglomeration of beef and brawn. lacking; wholly In Initiative. The -ere ahy on bralna. The crop waa sieved thoroughly, and only three ahowed latent fighting ability. These were Gunboat Bmlth, Jeaa Wtllard and Frank Moran. .Then came the real tecta. They oc curred only recently over In Parla and London. In Wy Paree Moran made a pitiable ahowlng against Johnaon. while in a London ring Smith waa declared a technical loiter to Georges Carpentler, the white heavyweight champion of Europe. True the declalon waa aald to De out rageous, but the fact remalna that Gun boat did commit a foul and thereby loat the fight Even In hla fight In New York the Gunboat ahowed a tendency for un fair tactica. Hla tranagreaslona of the rules were overlooked by vacillating ref ereea who lacked the courage of their convlctlona. Gunboat aadly mlaaed hla guess when he tried them on Eugene Corrl, Europe'a foremost arbiter. So Jeaa Wlllard alone remalna of the American contingent. If the lathy rancher could only be Induced to pay a vlalt to France, and get Into the ring with John aon It la not at all unlikely that a new champion would emerge from the'brawl. Wlllard Well Qaallfle. Wlllard poaaeaaea pretty nearly every qualification of a champion. One thing In hla dtafavor la that he must be thor oughly aroused before he will put forth hla beat efforta. He I lackadaisical and will not allow hla temper to become ruf fled while an opponent la not annoying him with hard blows, Wlllard la a tr rifle puncher and Is extremely clever for a man of hla heft. . Wlllard would atand aa excellent chance. of defeating Johnaon. One thing muat he impressed on the lanky westerner In order that he may humble the champion. If he would only permit Johnaon to do the leading he would have a glorious chance of acorlng a knockout Johnson's forte Ilea In making hla ad' versa r lea lead and beating them to the counter. Only one man ha. ever been . able to make Johnaon abandon his watch ful waiting tactics. That waa Jack O'Brien. lie outwitted Johnaon, and when 'the Numldlan tried to lead he floundered all over the ring. Johnaon had to laugh at his own ludicrous efforta to land on O'Brien. Fortunately for "Black Jack," O'Brien had nothing more damaging than a waapllke punch, ao Jack weathered the Ix rounda Nrgr Is Wllllaar. Johnson has expressed a willlngnesa to fight Wlllard six rounda in Philadelphia, ten rounda in Boston or twenty rounda over on the other aide. The contest In America would be a no-decialon affair. ao Wlllard la eerlouely considering cross ing the big drink to take on Johnaon In a long bout with the championship at - stake. Meanwhile Carl Morris, at one time the foremost "white hope" in captivity, au repmiousiy baa aalled for England In search of trouble. Gunboat Smith la really the object of the voyage, Morrla haa given the Buckley protege some little e trouble In their two conteeta In thia city, ana can believes he can prove to the eaiiafacUon of Londoners that he Is a au perlor battler to Smith.

Australia Likely to Make Base Ball One of Its Sports NEW YORK, Aug. l.-Norman E. Urookes. captain of the Australasian Iannis team that has come to the United States for the Davis cup matches, look a for an early development of the American national game in Australia aa a result of the vlalt of the two American base ball teams to that country on their around-the-world tour of last winter. "Baae ball la played in Australia," aald Mr. Brookes, "but It ia only natural that cricket being the national game of our mother country, should bethe game most generally played In Australia. I have been a cricketer myself. "But I must say that base ball appeals to me very much. It ia distinctly better than cricket In every way. For one thing, ypu don't have to waate three daya play. Ing it In baae ball you play two or three hours at the moat and the game Is over. It la not unuaual to have a cricket match iprea4 over five daya. "The American baae ball teams that went to Australia last winter had great success and attracted big crowds, many of whom thus had their first oppor tunity to Judge of the merits of the American game when presented by skill ful plavera. I ahould not be surprised if thote exhluition games would have the effect of giving base ball playing a great Impetus In our c-uuotry. I attended tiie games, and I thought the catching In par ticular moat extraordinary. You cannot uumpie trkkct catching with It " By r'RAK U. MKKK. NEW YORK. Aug. 1. With the season more than half over, It seema a certainty that the majority of the magnates of tha National, American and Federal leaguea will suffer lossea that may reach a total of J, 000,00 while the minor league losses will add probably 1500,000 to tT'AOOO to thill eum. Thua 1914 will be written on the pages aa the most disastrous year In the history of the national game, due to small attend ance, huge salaries and many postponed gamea. But in what a different spirit do the magnatea take thoae loeaea! In the Amer ican and National leaguea. where the majority of ownera have been used to reaping In huge proflta each year, the lossea peove and fret them and cause them to utter harsh sounding words ever and anon. The magnates in tha Federal league, however, take their lossea lacon icallyalmost cheerfWIy. They entered Into the baae ball bualnesa knowing they woud lose money In their first year out So it la no aurprlse or disappointment to find the outlay larger than the Income. In fact they seem gleeful over the fact that their loaaea are not aa large aa they had anticipated. filanta Making Money. In the National league only the Giants seem to have made money up to this writing, and their earnings ao far are aald to be only half of thoae for the same period In tha last three years. If the Cuba can keep up their present pace and act aa runnera-up for the leaders, they may get through the aeaaon with only a small loaa, or may even break a few thousand dollars ahead of the game. Thla condition waa not thought possible six weeks ago because the Cuba were In a rut and the Windy City fans had declared a boycott on them. But Ince thoy have performed a "comeback" the fana are flocking to see the Chicago athletes In action again. Despite the game fight being made by the Cardinals and their high position In the race during the first three months, It Is "unlikely that they will eacape with out a loss. But it will be lesa than in other years and much leaa than the Car dinal owner expected when the Feds Invaded the town. The Reda drew well when they were considerably among thoae present but since they slumped the attendance, both at home and abroad, has been small, and, Garry Hermann's band looka to lose $,'15,000 or so. Dreyfoes May Lose. The Plratea made money early In the year, but alnce the alump the fana have quit paying money1 to look themver and Barney Dreyfuas may have to suffer a $50,000 tosa for this year. The Dodgers will be certain losers. The total may reach $100,000. They haven't been la the race from the outset, have not drawn well either at home or on the road and the payroll la topheavy. The Boston Braves Is another team that has a topheavy payroll and whoae re ceipts have been pitifully amall from the outset Of tb season. The Hub city fans expected much front the Braves went so fsr'a"to hope they would mix In tha world's Series games. But the Braves got away tot a miserable start and they oan'jjeecm to hit their stride. ino 1 nuiiea nave uvea uwni oeuvr in an Attendance way than was looked for at tha beginning of the season when the Feds seemed to have wrecked their club. But even at that the Phillies will do well if they quit the seaaon under a $40,000 loaa. The home town fans attended In fairly large numbers when the seaaon flrat opened and the Phillies ahowed surpris ing form, but since the slump It's a dif ferent story. Naps Safferlagt Host. In the American league the Naps will Buffer moat Tha Cleveland fana have quit them cold. The Naps are not draw Ing on the . road and the combination of miserable attendance and huge salaries may set the Naps back about 1150,000. The Yankees also will be certain losers, but they may eacape with 160,000 or $75,000, owing to the fact that they drew fairly well early In the seaaon and that no matter what their position In the racs they usually can draw a midweek crowd of from 1.000 to 6,000 at home. That's the fine feature of being In a town where there are so many transient fana The closeness of the race among the other six teams In tha league may causa two or three of the flrat alx teams to eacape with only a small loss. Earlier in tha year It looked as If the Browns. Red Eox and White Sox were due for losses of from 150,000 to S7S,000 each, owing to Federal competition In Chicago and St Louis and the fact that the Boetonlaaa seemed to be out of the fight But the persistence with which the Browna and White Box keep near the top and the great spurt of the Red Sox has Increased tha recent attendance to such a point that ths early' losses may bs partially overcome. (saatr'l Not t.ettlagr Rich. Connie Mack's team has been leading nearly all the way, but Connie's bank account won't be fattened much. Tha fans In Philadelphia seem apathetic The attendance thla year at the home games has averaged leaa than for the laat four yeara and on the road the Athletics are not drawing overly well. The Athletlca will make money, but It won't be much. The TUrera and Senators. If they can keep In the fight will clear a little on the season probably 13,000 for each. Both have big payrolls thia year and in both towns tha fana are not coming out In aa great numbers aa they did In other yeara when the teams were In the fight In the Federal league it seems certain that each club will lose money. No In. dividual eatlmate can be made, but looka aa if the collective loaa to eight cluba will be in the neighborhood of irsaooo. The eatlmate la arrived at In this way The Feda have about t&O men under con tract Soma of those men are getting salaries from $6,000 to $11,000 a year. But many of the others recruits-are draw iug only around $1,800 to $2,4uu, making 13.900 the average salary for all the players a rather high average it means that the magnates wll have to pay out K75.0UO In salaries. Adding to thla another WS.OuO to cover the cost of traveling ex penaea, lutereat on tha Inveatment In stunda, aalarlea to officers, etc.. brings the total outlay up to fl.KAOOO. fig errs a Net Loaa. The Feda play 114 gamea That means four com but a .each fur 154 daya, or 61 gamea during the aeaaon. Allowing 1500 aa the paid attendance for each Qf these games it would bring the total attend a nee to I.IW.ck). With the average paid CI!" 771' . O ' V'.-' -: T.. ',. j .-I ru. J attendance at 60 cents It would mean that tha Feda would take In through the gate about $770,000 during the year, giving the whole league a net lose of $7M,0u0 or about $100,000 each. These figures may do a certain Injus tice to the Federal leaguers because they may show the outlay larger than It really la and the receipts smaller. But they are given from the beat eattmates avail able. Some of the clubs In ths Federal league will lose more than othera. The Kansaa City, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis and St. Louis backers Just now seem destined to suffer larger loaaea than the othera The loaaea In the other four cities will not be large. - n Chess A good way to spend your noon hour a to play cheaa or checkers at tha Omaha Chess and Checker club. The monthly dues are a trifle, the pastime la a clean one and will benefit you mentally and morally.; and th location of the club ia convenient being on the third floor of the Continental block, Fifteenth and Douglas streets. The best players In tha club will be delighted to teach you tha gam of cheas If you are not an expert, or to beat you at It If you are. Latest reports from Mannheim Inform ua that two rounds of the tourney have been played. The noteworthy results are the two victories of Splelmann, which place him In the lead; the two defeats of Tarrasch, by John and by Splelmann, and the tw j drawn gamea acored by Mar shall against two of the Russian players. Bogojuhoff and Flamberg- tt While the white hope situation is ad mittedly desperate, there are , a few In that claaa worth mentioning. Here la seen (above) the giant Carl Morris, atretohlng his arma to show hla enor mous reach. To tho right Is Gunboat Smith. His recent defeat by George Carpentler over In London hasn't die couraged him, because a lot of folk think Eugene Corri, the referee, erred badly. Smiling Frank Moran la seen on the left. This Is the latest picture of the man whom Jack Johnaon beat In Parla. Frank la insisting he can worst the big black If given another chance. Moran la young and probably will im prove In the next few yeara. Below la Jeaa Wlllard. the "lathy rancher."

The Vienna' gambit tournament. which would have been much better de scribed aa the Gambit Declined tourna ment, was won by Splelmann, Tarta kower being second. No sooner was this tournament completed than another waa started in Budapeat fur Auatro-llungarian playera. The competitors, twelve in num ber, were all players of International re pute and standing; and, curiously enough, the result was the aame as at Vienna, Splelmann won first prise,' with a score of SH, consisting' of six , wins and five draw. Tartakower waa'aecond with five wins and six draws. Neither player lost game. The fact of Splelmann and Tartakower being first and second In both tourna ments is remarkable, when considered In connection with a match played between them In the spring, In which the result was 6 to 1 n favor of Tartakower.
