MAJOR LEAGUE STANDINGS
NORTHEH.X INDIANA LEAGIE SCHEDCLd Games Sunday. Aug. 4 th: Hammond at Gary. Valparaiso at "Whiting. Crown Point at East Chicago. Indiana Harbor at Laporte. With two teams racing neck and neck for tn lead in the Northern Indiana league pennant race, It Is evident that there will be. a hard fought contest between the two leaders at Gary next Sunday afternoon, when Hammond will make an effort to duplicate the stunt wnlch they pulled off on the Steel City warriors some weeks ago. At the Steel City baseball park Sunday afternoon Hammond will be well represented, as the city will send one of the largest delegation of fans that has accompanied a journeying K. I. I team this season. They are also preparing to make plenty of noise, as they will take along every noise maker from a
baby rattler to a cannon. At present both teams are confident of victory, but bets are few and far between. Gary is playing on their own grounds and seems to think it has something on the Hammond braves, who are saying nothing and will saw wood when the time comes. View, the crack Hammond fielder who signed up with the Gary Works team, will notvbe seen In a uniform Sunday and In his place will be a star player from the Chicago Gunthers. There will also be another new man on the Hammond lineup who is expected to do some stellar work. There Is a great deal of rivalry between Hammond and Gary at the present writing which will make the contest all the more Interesting. The Gary team figure that they lead In the pennant race by a margin of a game and a half, but this does take Into consideration the protested game which Hammond claims it rightfully won a couple oi weeks ago from Gary.

miNOR LEAGUE CROP POOR, DECLARE SCOUTS
South Bend, Ind., August 1. Less i than fifteen minor league players will be purchased by the major leagues , this year, according to the scouts who haveHeen In the Central league terrl- I tory this year, among them being Har- t ry Sutton of Brooklyn. Jimmy Burke j
of Detroit, Louie Hellbroner of Cln-
clnnatl and Billy Doyle of St. Louis. According to these scouts the crop of minor leaguers is so short that practically all of those who expeoted to get Into major league company will do so by the draft route. Sutton Is authority for the statement that so far he has not seen a single man whom he will purchase. In the Central league he has found six players for whom Brooklyn will put In drafts. Scout Sutton Is also authority for the statement that not within the last ten years has he found baseball in so bad a condition as It is this year. The attendance Is very poor, he says, in cities where the clubs are fighting hard to win a pennant, while In towns which have second division clubs the attendance is almost nil.
CUBS TAKE FIRST FROM INFANTS. 11-4 Giant Tamers Riddle Gunner Allen and Batter Three Others.
ATTELL FIT FOR
FIGHT THIS TIME
MURPHY
Brooklyn, N. Y.. August 1. The Cubs came across the river yesterday and spanked the Infants over here to the tune of 11 to 4 In the first of a series of five gamear Incidentally they more than got even with Prank Allen, the alleged desperado from Virginia, for what he did to them in Chicago a few days ago. Mr. Outlaw Allen lasted a little more than two Innings in this scrap, and before he was taken out of the arena, riddled with bullet holes, the Cubs had the game stowed away In their hip pockets. In an effort to stop the Cubs, Manager Dahlen used three more pitchers, and all of them, except Knetzer, were almost as bad as Mr. Allen. Knetier was derricked out of the game to let in a pinch hitter.
Abe, Closely Watched in Training, Will Be Rea'dy For Harlemite.
San Francisco, August 1. It used to be said of Abe Attell that he was given to fooling the public in respect to his training, but it would not be easy for Abe tohoodwlnk any one Just at
present. The smart fellows of the sporting set are keeping a close watch on him and he is given the credit of paying strict attention to his preparations for Saturday afternoon's fight with Harlem Tommy Murphy. It is felt that he will do far better against Murphy than he did in the last bout. In the affair in question it was a notable contest for rapid work Attell frequently stopped slug-

WARD DISPOSES 1 OF INTEREST IN BOSTON CLUB Boston, Mass., August 1. John M. Ward, who with Jaraea E. Ganey and Joseph B. Carroll purchased the Bos
ton National baseball club from the William Hepburn Russell estate last
winter, announced today that' he had ! sold his interest In the Boston club!
to Mr. Gaffney. Mr. Ward stated that in his opinion the stock now held by Joseph B. Carroll of New York also was to be turned over to Mr. Gaffney, and that it was not his (Ward's) wish to quit the Boaton team, but clrcumstanoes had so formulated themselves that he practically, was forced out. He said Mr. Gaffney wanted to have full control of the club. Ward also stated that when he purchased his share in the club he did not do so with the idea of selling out for a long time. Mr. Ward's hope was to build up a championship team for Boston and the severance ot his connection with the club was a great blow to him personally. 'A local rumor has it that the club will soon change hands again, through the efforts of two popular Boston sporting men, one of the Hub's best known financiers has become interested In the team and. Is considering purchasing It.

ging and stood in a bent attitude near the ropes. The pace was too fast for Abe, who was ill conditioned, and he Just braced himself as best he could and allowed Murphy to hammer away. There were times when It looked as though Murphy would beat him down, but Attell. always weathered the storm and began striking back the instant he could muster the necessary vim. Attell's friends think that Abe's condition will show no weak spots this time. It Is believed that his stay on the Nolan ranch In Lake county has repaired his stamina and that he will be' able to live up to any pace the Harlem boy may set.

BLUNDERS BY SOX GIVE YANKS GAME
Eight Lovely Boots and Numerous Hits Swamp Callahans, 12-3.
The best one can say for the White Sox of yesterday is that they got a bad game of ball out of their system. They played as if they had saved up a lot of blunders for that special occasion, then they went out and splint them lavishly. Because of the Sox's careless abandon, the New Yorkera galloped away with the first game of the series, 12 to 8. New York made fifteen base, hits and the Sox made eight errors, which Just about explains the score. The : Sox made ten dandy hits and New York made four mistakes, but all Chicago got out of it was three tallies, because they were always so far in the that nothing but a stampede could bring them to the front. Eddie Clcotte was the unfortunate man to be picked for slab duty Just at the time when the Sox were booked to explode. He has had nothing but misfortune all summer and, so far as could be learned, the only reason Boston sold him was because of his bad luck. It was hoped the bad luck would oease with a change of scenery, but it seems to stick to him since Joining the Sox.
