TRIBUNEl

Back in the old days thej said that "Youth will be preserved." But that means nothing to Zack Wheat and Jake Daubert, veterans of the Brooklyn Nationals, who today are fighting it. out for first place honors in the .National league batting race.

Wheat, with an average of .341, Is showing the way, with Daubert trailing him twenty points. lielnie Groh or Cincinnati, who gave promise of becoming the 1918 batting champion, has fallen into a tie for third place, according to averages including games of Wednesday. Wheat's drive to the top was not merely a "Hash." for in his last seven games he cracked out an

Carey sixty-six. Carey, however, has a btg lead in base stealing, his total of fifty-three remaining out of danger. Mollwitr. of Pittsburgh drove Roush of Cincinnati out of the lead for sacrifice hitting, with a total of twenty-six, Cravath of Philadelphia, with seven circuit drives to his credit, is blazing the trail for the home-run hitters.

Cincinnati, with an average of .272, is leading in club batting, and New York in team fielding with .972. Leading batters:

Z. Wheat, brooklyn. .841 Daubert, Brooklyn: .321 Smith. "Boston, .320 Groh. Cincinnati, .320 Merkle, Chicago, .316 Hollocher, Chicago, .314 Roush, Cincinnati, .314 Chase, Cincinnati, .301 Lee Magee, Cincinnati, .300.

Speaker Craw1» Up.

In the American league, Tris Speaker, the Cleveland veteran, crowded George Sisler of St. Louis out of third place with an average of .324, Sisler pulling up fourth, two points behind him.

Cobb, besides leading the league in batting and scoring, threatens to annex the base stealing honors. The Detroit star has thirty-sfcx thefts to his cred-it, while Sisler and Bobby Roth of Cleveland are tied with thirty-five each. Roth, however, is out of the race, as he has been suspended for the balance of the season.

Cobb is virtually certain of finishing the shortened race with the batting championship tucked in his pocket. His average of .384 today gives him a lead of thirtv-nine points over his nearest rival. Burns of Philadelphia. Babe Ruth of Boston and Walker of Philadelphia remain tied for honors in home run hitting with eleven each, while Chanman of Cleveland dethroned Shean of Boston for the lead in sacrifice hitting, Chapman, with thirty, having a one point advantage.

Ruth is the only member of the Red Sox, the pennant contenders, with a .300 average. The Boston club is seventh in team hitting, Cleveland leading with an average of ,2B0.

STOTHrBSGlO" WILL STAND AS USUAL

Which "Means That Purdue and Indiana Will Have Football Elevens This Fall.

CHICAGO, Aufc. 17.—Doubts as to whether or not football will be Dlaved by the larger colleges of the middle west this fall were removed todav by A. A. Stagg, noted football coach and athletic director of the University of Chicago, who said that the Maroons would have an eleven as usual, and that the other Big I'en and similar schools no doubt also would have representative teams.

Indiana university, among others, has been reported as questioning the advisability of indulging in the gridiron

dozen hits. Daubert also co»- i ?Por^ until the war is won. but from the way Stagg talked today, it appeared as if he had never even entertained the Idea of suspending football. "Oh, yes," he replied, when asked if the Big Ten was to continue its grid schedules, "we are going ahead as

tinued hitting, bagging nine safe blows in seven games. The scramble for the honors In scoring is narrowing down to George Burns of New York, Max Carey of Pittsburgh and Groh. Burns has registered seventy runs and Groh and usual. I don't think the 18-45 draft

law will interfere with our student bodies, for I've read that the government has appointed a number of colleges throughout the country. Chicago and other conference schools among them, as student training camps, and when our men must resrister for the draft they will be detailed to thetr own colleges for training until they are needed by the service.

Excellent Train in sr.

"In this way the ordinary college functions will be disturbed onlv in minimum degree. Besides being excellent recreation and diversion for spectators. football is a fine sport for training prospective soldiers and for this reason I expect a greater number of the student body to take an active interest in the game this fall

From the statement it anoears as' »f the Maroons. Illini. Michigan. Ohio State. Minnesota. Wisconsin. Indiana Purdue. Northwestern and Iowa will be battling each other on the trridiron again this fall. The grade of football probably will not be as high as in previous years, as most of the Dlavers will have had little or no experience in college play, but as aU the schools will be so handicapped, this feature will serve only to equalize the games. Practically all the stars of former vears have gone into service unless inability to pass the examination orevented them.

Athlefics Make Better Fighters for Uncle Sam

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.—How Athletics are training our soldiers and sailors to be better fighters and incidentally, providing them with clean and wholesome recreation at the same time has been portrayed in the exhibit of the War and navy departments commissions on training camp activities, which is touring the country as a part of the allied war exposition.

A feature of the exhibit of the training camp commissions is a model of a modern cantonment. Inside the cantonment on the athletic field soldiers in miniature are to be seen engaging in boxing jyid wrestling and plaving baseball. football, soccer and other camp sports.

The boxing drill, which shows a class of a thousand soldiers simultaneously learning the rudiments of the fistic art is depicted in a series of carefullycolored pictures, while motion pictures demonstrate how this sport is making our men better bayonet fighters.

YOUTH SERVED AT TENNIS.

BOSTON, Aug. 17.—Speed and youth proved too much for skill and experience in the final round of the National tennis doubles championship at Longwood today, and Vincent Richards a New York school boy, and W. T. Tilden II of Philadelphia defeated the veterans, Beals C. Wright and Fred Alexander of New York, 6—2, 6—4, 2—6

6—2.

Wright and Alexander made a game effort after being outclassed in the first and second sets, and squared the match at two sets all. Then Tilden regained his terrific pace, which he had lost in the second and third sets and, aided by accurate lobbying by Richards ran out the final set.

Richards, who is only fifteen years old. is the youncrest tennis nlayor ever to hold a national tennis tiUe.

Hun Bullet Has Nothing On Johnson's Fast One

CLEVELAND, Aug. 17.—War can have few terrors for American league batters now serving with the colors, according to a letter received here from Eddie Klepfer, former Cleveland pitcher, now a sergeant with the American expeditionary force. Klepfer said there is little difference in the "zip" of a German sniper's bullet and the "whizz" of Walter Johnson's fast one, except that Johnson's offering may have a "hop" on it. The letter says: "I have been over the top and I came back without being hit. I was a member of a scouting squad. You know how it feels when you are up to bat and Walter Johnson buzzes one of his fast ones past your ears. That's how it feels when the Huns are trying to pick you off. It sure is a great sensa tion—-that of being fired at Dy some one you know means it."

CINCINNATI, Aug. 17.—The return to the mound of the Old Master, Christy Mathewson, will be one of the features of the closing of baseball at the Cincinnati National league park September 1 and 2.

"No other city will bid baseball goodbye in such an impressive fashion," is President August Herrmann's idea of the celebration.

Sets New Marks In Every Event With One Exception Before 50,000 Speed Fans.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—Smashing world's records in every event with only one exception, Ralph DePalma, famous Italian auto speed demon, flashed i sensationally into five victories at the I Sheepshead Bay speedway here this afternoon, conquering such drivers as

Dario Resta, Louts Chevrolet, Arthur i Duray, Ralph Mulford and Ira Vail. DePalma fractured the old marks I in the two mile, tne mile, thirty mile and fifty mile events, missing by a bare fraction a new mark In the twen-ty-mile sprint. I It was estimated that 60,000 persons I took advantage of a perfect day to go 1 to the track..

Chevrolet wa3 forced from ths first heat of the afternoon, the two-mile sprint, by a broken crank shaft, but Arthur Duray, French driver, gallantly placed Chevrolet back in the race when lie agreed to allow his fellow countryman to use the Duray car.

The final standing was: DePalma, 30 points Mulford, 22 Resta, 19 Duray, 6, and Vail. 6.

The men divided a purse of (27.000, T5.0tj0 of which was posted by the entrants.

Starts With Flask.

DePalma finished the two-mils race in 1:05 3-5, with Resta second, Mulford third and Duray fourth. Resta previously had held the record for this distance, made in 1917. DePalma led from the start.

DePalma flashed across the finish line in the second race, ten miles, in 5:23 2-5, ripping a hole in the record he made himself July 28 Chicago. The other drivers finished in the same order as in the first event.

The third race for twenty miles was gruelling encounter, with DePalma nosing home first after a hard fight. He took the lead only in the last lap. Resta was second. Mulford third and Chevrolet, driving Duray's car, finished last. Time, 10:513-5.

Vail dropped out of the fourth race in the sixth lap and Resta quit In the tenth. This left only Mulford and DePalma to fight it out and the latter drew out when he pleased, to win in 16:31 1-5, smashing the old record for thirty miles, which waB 18:56 1-5. He was a mile and a quarter In the lead when he crossed the line. DePalma held the previous record.

DePalma finished the fifty-mile event in 27:29 1-5, beating the record of 28:04, held by Resta and made in 1917. Mulford was second, with Resta third. Vail dropped out in the seventh lap.

FOOTBALL SEASON ON

Cream of College Players

Great

Lakes Station.

GREAT IA.KES. I1U Au*. It.— "Hike!" hoarsely yelled Coach Olcott. as he arched a long forward pass into the waiting arms of a huskv sailor— and the football season at the Great Lakes Naval Training station was officially opened this week. More than 40 men were on the main drill field punting and passing despite the heat.

The first call was for ends and halfbacks onlv. They turned in from all barracks and even a number of tackles, guards and centers could not resist the temptation, and slipped into the squad.

Great Lakes is preparing for a championship team a machine to cope with the creations of Yost. Zunoe and Wilce and equal to the eastern turnouts. The sailors have the material, the coach, the navy spirit and one of the greatest athletfo fields in this country.

The pick of the college players are in the navy. Better football men than George Halas, Hugh Blacklock of the Michigan Aggies. Paddy Driscoll of Northwestern, Simpson, the old Cornell captain Conzelman. from Washington university Kaufman of Iowa. Earl Gilflllan of Notre Dame. Johnnv Wagner of Georgetown. Lamb of Illinois, Bachman of Notre Dame and Chapman of Nebraska, cannot be found.

Coach Olcott may select his ends from Benjamin of Illinois. Sauer of Detroit. Williams of Kansas Normal, Curtis of Carnegie Tech. Waldenburg of Wisconsin. Prather of Baker, Hauser of Miami and a score of others.

The halfbacks are even more numerous. while the quarters and fullbacks abound. One of Coach Olcott's greatest problems will be to slice his squad without losing varsity material. Scores of the football stars now indulging in baseball and track will not turn out until the close of the pennant races and the A- A U. track meets at the station.

Meanwhile light practice will be held every evening to loosen up the muscles and to bring out punters and for hand passers.

The Right Way

This story sounds too good to be true —we don't mean funny, but Just plain good and satisfying—but it may be true, so it is printed, just as it comes to us frbm an eastern correspondent:

Several weeks ago a short, husky, sunburned individual walked into the employment office at the Hogg Island ship yard. lie stood In line with othsr applicants and when his turn came said: "Have you a Job I can fill*" "What can you do?" asked the employment clerk.

Anything. Just give me a Job." The applicant was sent to the shitways and put to work as a bolter-off. He had to tighten the bolts In the steel plates before riveting machines were put on. His work was satisfactory and he showed such aptitude that after a week he was promoted to foreman.

One day Chief Bender, now a ship yard "official" of some sort, was walking through the yards and thought the overall-clad figure on the side of the ship looked familiar. The chief fixed his eagle eye on the man and. after a close examination, uttered a whoop of joy. "Hey!'* he yelled. "Come down here. I t^ant to talk with you. How long have you been here?" "About two weeks," answered the workman. "Come over with me ind play some baseball," said the chief. "We need you on the team. Why didn't you let us know you wej-e working here?" "I didn't care much about playing ball with all of this work on hand." retorted the man in overalls, as he took off his buckskin gloves. "But now that I have been discovered, I might as well plav on your ball club. Lead me to it.""

In this manner the HOST Island baseball team acquired the services Of a great third baseman.

It was Hans Lobert.

NAVY IS POPULAR.

The navy seems to be a popular place with the baseball players, four more of the national pastime stars signing up with tho sea forces during the past week. The Dodgers lose two of their star twirlers, while the Cubs lose their star shortstop and a second string catcher. Marquard and Grimes took the oath and expect to be called in the near future, while Charley Hollocher and O'Farrell, both of the Cubs, applied for enlistment, but have not as yet taken the oath. However, they expect to receive a summons for this part of their enlistment in the near future, and then they will go into intensive training.
