S'"" ]EE where those Giants are in th£ National League _ race? McGraw is never through fighting. The Gotham club has nosed up i#to the first division after many weeks in the depths. By defeating the Cubs Monday, New York tied the Chicago outfit for fourth place with a .523 percentage. Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Ciney are watching the Giants’ climb with some trepidation! Tliat race is still anybody’s—and don’t think Jawn McGraw doesn't know it. • * * "Pep” Florence, former Indian catcher now with New York 1 , is back at the job he held with the local club for a long time. He is warming up the pitchers in the “bull pen.” He limy have been plucked for the majors just a little too soon. * * • Anew boy star among the city tennis players has sprung up suddenly. He is Emmett Lowery of Irvington. All the youths around a certain drug store on E. Washington St., are watching with ■kiterest his progress in the nation" meet at Chicago. He won his first.match, Monday. • • • Monday was a typical Babe Ruth day. He paid a fine and lilt a homer. • * * SHJEY calli Corbett, former heavyweight champion, “Gentleman Jim.” He evidently is trying to live up to the cognomen. The former pug is to referee a handball tournament in New York. There’s h. tip for Dempsey, who would like to be called “gentleman” better than anything else in tjje world. Ja£k might umpire a tennis match—pr something. * * • *“ It Is said tha| Princess Maria da Bourbon, beautiful cousin of King Alphonso of Spain, lost $9 in her first lesson in the gen*tla American pastime of shooting “e,raps.” That wasn’t much, but that's the way all the games •start.

They clung tenaciously to their orbits in Monday's Davis cup trials with flashing young stars all about them coming down to earth. The big will come next month.

Youth must wait another year to be served. “Big Bill” Tilden and “Little Bill” Johrtston anfi Dick Williams, veterans of many a Davis Cup fight, succeeded Monday in staving off the challenge of three youngsters who would have disputed the right of the “big three” to places on the team which this year will defend the tfophy.

' Johnston was given a great battle by (thapin before he triumphed over the Springfield youngster, 6-4, 7-5. In the doubles Richards, whose leg didn't appear to trouble him much, and Dick Williams took the measure of Tilden and Johnson in straight sets, 6-4, 7-5, the New Yorker’s brilliant work being largely responsible for the victory. i NEGRO FISTIC RESULTS Results of bouts at the all-Negro fistic show at the Brightwood arena Monday night follow: Joe Hardy won on foul from Kid Edwards in the third round: One Round Bess knocked out Battling Jacobs in the seventh round; Battling Randolph shaded Kid Texas in eight rounds; Kid Smith won over Eddie Curtis by technical k. o. in the fifth round.'

Colonel Phelan Holds Key to Heavyweight Fight Plans of Tex Rickard. By Henry Farrell United Press Staff Correspondent | NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—“ Even j money and take your choice,” was i the tip passed on Broadway today as the New York license committee was scheduled to Tex Rickard t officially and finally whether Jack Dempsey and Gpne Tunney can meet in the Yankee stadium on Sept. 16, for the world’s heavyweight championship. There may be reasons why* the license committee should go against the 2 to 1 vote of the boxing commission favoring the match, and there may he other reasons why the committee should stand on its own feet and declare that Tunney, instead of Harry Wills should fight Dempsey. • “We Soldiers” There wre reports that Colonel Phelan, chairman of the committee and commander of the “Fightin’ Irish 69th,” would say to Sergeant Tunney of the Marines, “We soldiers must stick together; you can have a license to fight.” And to Dempsey, the same rumor had it, Colonel Phelan woyld say, “Out with you; you can’t fight in this State." This would put Tunney in the position of a recipient of a saddle without a horse. There also were reports—which are more logical—that the committee'will pick up the applications of Dempsey and Tunney for licenses, ponder over them and then tell the boys to come back in two weeks. The longer the commission keeps Rickard from knowing what his top prices can be and the longer they can keep him in suspense about the fighter’s license, the less the chances will be that Rickard can pull off the fight. JUNIOR MEET Large Field of Golfers Start Play in Chicago. Bu United Press CHICAGO, Aug. 10.—Two hundred and forty-five junior golfers gathered at the first tee of the Edgewater course here today for the opening qualifying round.

The Ash Pile j By Eddie The day following her channel swim, Gertrude Ederle bounced out of bed and announced she was ready for more aquatic exercise. She didn't even have water on the knee. Gertrude is in a class by herself. She's the international open water champion. When Miss Ederle returns to America, perhaps she can be influenced Jo enter polities and run for office on a wet platform. It’s a shame Gertie can not bring the channel back home with her to show her friends how it was done. At any rate Ederle did not have to pay a fee for swimming the. channel. Indianapolis councilmen had no jurisdiction. The Indians have acquired “Nick” Carter, an inflelder. Evidently he's a lad who sneaks tip on the grounders. Perhaps he’ll be a hero with our Horse Thief "Detect at ivos.’’ Helmy, the Egyptian sheik, has tried the channel swim four times and has failed four times Evidently he has spent so much time in the channel he's water-logged.

CHANNEL AGAIN IS WINNER Helmy and Michel Fail in Swim Attempts When They Become 111. Bu United Pre /A CAPE GRIS NEZ, Aug. 10.—Ishalc Helmy and Georges Michel were defeated by the English Channel today when stomach illness proved superior to their -determination. Both are big men. Helmy, an Egyptian swimmer, announced that he would make another attempt, but Michel, a Frenchman, said he was through, at least for this season. ’fhus far this summer there have been twelve attempts to swim the channel and of the swimmers only Gertrude Ederle, American girl, succeeded. Her success and the failure of the others was taken to mean that the so-called American method of swimming the channel as swiftly as possible instead of seeking this and that tide was superior to other methods. Helmy's mileage was negligible. He entered the water at 9:30 p. m. Monday and quit at 2:15 a. in. today, alter four hours and forty-five min- : utes in the water. Michel entered the water with Helmy at Cape Gris Nez and was within six miles of Dover after thirteen hours and five 1 minutes, when he abandoned his attempt. Three other swimmers who were expected to try the channel did not start. '
