STABS HI CHECKER PLAY TO COMPETE FOR TITLE

CEDAR POINT. O.. Aug. 7. A twenty game match for the eleven-man ballot system checker championship of the world will be a feature of the American Checker association's annual tournament to be held here this week. Newell W. Banks of Detroit and Alfred Jordan cf London, England, will be the contestants.

Jordan claimed the eampionshlp for many years. Last winter Banks wrest

ed the title from him in Los Angeles. The eleven-man ballot system was invented by Banks. Each player ballots off one man at the beginning of the game and starts with eleven instead of twelve checkers. It thus becomes necessary for the players to work himself back ir.to the prearranged play upon which he is relyiny to win.

HAMILTON'S GOSSIP! STUFF ABOUT SPORTS

XT K. O. HAMTIiTON. NEW YORK, Aug. 4. Since the best

days of the Chicago Cubs, the famous I old Pirates and the Tigers who won an! American 'paeue championship, the West hasn't held such a prominent place in baseball as it now is hanging to. ' The pep and dash of the Cardinals and Reds and the possibilities In the appointment of Fred Mitchell as manager of the Cubs are thrilling the westerners. Indications are now that, even if they don't attain the top of the reak this year, the Reds and Cardinals are going to be hard to head next year. If the Reds or Cardinals should win a pennant Oh Boy! What a life it

would be in St. Louis or Cincinnati. Chicago won its last National league pennant in 1310, and Detroit was the last western club to represent the American league In a world's series struggle. It has been seven years since the west horned into the fall baseball classic. In case Chicago wins the American league pennant this year, as is being variously predicted, and In case the Giants live up to their supporters' claims it will be the first time that teams from the nation's two largest cities have done conflict on the diamond In a world's series. With the natural rivalry existing between the huge population centers, a world's series scattered between the shores of Lake Michigan should be a humdinger, with all the trimmings.

FOUR STRAIGHT FOR POLISH A. 0. The Poli?h Athletic Club made It fjur consecutive victories Sunday by defeating the West Hammond A. C.'s by the score of 14 to 9. Michael Hodor.

catcher for the Polish nine, hogged all the honors at West Hammond, Sunday, by knocking two two-baggers and a single at four times to bat, thus scoring four runs. Krupa, the pitcher, on the other hand gave a masterly exhibition in spite of the fact 'that he was not in condition" to pitch ball on account of an injury received in the game two weeks ago. He was in trouble on numerous occasions, especially in the ninth inning when his mates were up in the air. but pulled out safely, not because of any wonderful support, but because he had the West Hammond boys puzrled on his epitter. Although the game was not played with as much pep as the previous ones were but the future games will be

played with all that Is in the Polish lads. The next game is with the Peerless boys and it v.-ill certainly take pep to beat them, but still the Poles are confident of winning.
