White Sox Now Loom as Probable Dark Horse in American League Race

FROM SEVENTH PLAGE TO THIRD IS GAIN MADE Gleason Pulls Team Up and He Is Crowding Into Contender Class. BIG FEATURE OF SEASON By HENRY FARRELL. United Press Sports Editor. NEW YORK. July 7.—Sirens ot warning are blasting in the American League over the advance of the Chicago White Sox. If there is to be a dark horse in the pennant chase the Sox are the ranking candidates for the role. In less than two weeks the Gleaeon band has risen from seventh place to a strong third, almost on the heels of the New York Yanks and within striking distance of the leading Browns. The Sox have had a good hitting and fielding ball club for two seasons, but a weak pitching staff has kept them from getting any place worth while in the pennant race. Gleason now has a well organized staff of young pitchers that are being handled in the well-known Gleason fashion. Critics agree now that if Charges Comiskey, owner of the club, had overcome his stubbornness over a few dollars and met the terms of little Dickie Kerr the club would be almost a favorite for the pennant.

WITH THE LEAGUERS Babe Ruth’s homer with the bases filled Thursday was one of the shortest on record, barely falling inside the Polo Ground stands at the right field foul line, the shortest barrier In the major league. Meantime the Yanks made merry at the expense of the Indians, 10 to 3 and 11 to 3. Ferdie Shupp, allowing three runs and six hits In five innings, receives credit for winning the game in spite of the fact that Hodge, his successor, allowed only two runs and one hit in the next four Innings. The answer is that the White Sox clubbed Heimaoh and Yarrison for five runs in the sixth before Hodge could make his appearance.

GREAT TENNIS IS LOOKED FOR IN FINAL DAYS Last Rounds of Play Bring National Stars Together In Competition. SEMI-FINALS ON TODAY BY TEDDER G.ARD. Some of the sport fans of this city are just coming out of their dormant state and realizing that there is a national tennis tourney in their midst. The awakening came with the realization that the semi-final schedule today was strangely lacking in those familiar local names that always have been present in the final rounds of tourneys held here. With Hennessey, Burdick and Bastian put out of the meet early seme of the folfowers of the net sport are getting a little excited over the great tennis that is being played at the Woodstock Club. It is the best net meet this city evor has had the chance to see and the largest crowds that ever witnessed any tennis matches here are expected today, Saturday and Sunday. Famous Jap In Big Match

That little giant of the tennis world, Shim zu. the Japanese player, was to I meet Garland today in a contest that was duo to provide plenty of thrills. It was scheduled for 2:15 and was the first of the semi-final round. The other semi-final was to bring Tilden, champion of the world, against Walter Westbrook, ex-conference champion, at 3:30. The final match of the Junior title meet was between George Lott of Chicago and Leonard Reed of Pittsburgh at 1:30. The players have appeared evenly matched and well doi served to meet for the Junior title. Semi-finals in the boys' division was to see Weiner and Strachan. Tilden's protege s, in competition with Donaldson of Detroit and Von Berg of Indianapolis. respectively. locals in Doubles Play There were three doubles matches on the card today with one local team and a serai-local combination holding the interest of Indianapolis fans. Burdick-Bastlan were to play Parks White at 2 o'clock and Hennessey and Wesbrook were to I meet Brown and Kamman, the St. j Louis collegians, at 4 o'clock. The other doubles match was scheduled ! for 6 o'clock between TUden-Weiner j and Fulton Keith. j The feature match of Thursday’s play, and for that matter, the greatest tennis that has been seen so far j in the tourney, was the Tllden-Brown : tilt. The young Washington University player from St. Louis rose to the heights In his stand against tho : world's champion and thrilled the crowd with his sensational returns of TUden's well placed smashes. A youngster meeting a master of ! the game, Brown played with all the j skill he possessed. Never for a min* j ute was he flurried. Brown's chop j st-oke kept Tilden from hitting as ; hard as he usually does. Both play- ! ers remained on the base lines almost always, as neither had much success at the net. Best Fight In First Set. The first set was the better, as ! Brown gave Tilden the hardest battle he has had In the meet so far. The ! youngster carried the games to fourj all, and the fifth game went to deuce I and see back and forth in desj perate play until Tilden finally won. ;Ti e fifth game score was 12-10. Tilf ilen took the next game and the 1 match, 64. The second set was not .as sensational. Brown tired a bit to--1 ward the end, and Tilden, with his j superb confidence and well-placed strokes, swept through to victory, 6 2. I Fritz Bastian, Indianapolis player,

Winner May Box Kilbane PARIS, July 7.—The French challenger, Eugene Criqui, is favorite over Arthur Wyns of Belgium, featherweight champion of Europe, whom he will meet tonight at the Cirque de Paris.

Most of the points were on Fritz’s errors. Time and again he would net the ball or drive outside the white lines. The only bright feature of the match from a local viewpoint was the rally put on by the city champ in the last set. With the game score standing 5 to 1 against him and almost hopelessly out of the running, Fritz staged a comeback and won three games In a row. Garland was not to be denied, however, and took the next game, which meant set and match. Scores of the Thursday matches follow: MEN’S SINGLES Walter Wesbrook, Detroit, defeated Arthur Hubbell.
