Evgn Players Perform in Mechanical Manner; Closing Date a Matter of Mystery.

NEW YORK. July 31. Unless somthirg is done immediately to revive pubinterest in baseball the major ";agues will not last until Sept. 1. This becomes more and more certain every iay. Instead of receiving the stimulus which was expected to follow the defl-

note settlement of the status of the came by Secretary Baker, the teams have been golnif down, both in the quality cf'bftseball and in the crowds they are drawing. Many of the clubs are oper.it ins; at a loss and their owners are willing to get out oJf it as soon as possible. Crowrta Below Normal. PomethlnR should be done immediately set a definite day for the gates to '-ioe. The crowds are far below normal nnd the figures cannot be ignored. Ia.st Saturday the Red Sox, playing in ChicaRO, which has always been one of the Vest drawinpr cities !n the major leagues, played before less than 1.500 people. On Sunday there were only a few thousand at the park. The Yankees and Tigers played before less than a thousand spectators in Detroit Monday and the same sized crowd yesterday. In Cleveland, where there should be the best support, since the Indians are v ithin striking distance of the pennant, the Yankees played on Friday, their opening game, to less than 2.0iin fans. Saturday brought out about 3.00n and

Sunday for a scheduled double-header only S.000. Early in the season Cleveland drew some of the best crowd? in the American League circuit. In the. East the same condition exists; tf.c (.Jiants drew less than -.000. including uniformed men. who were admitted free, for yesterday's game. In Brooklj n the Dodgers drev. only a few hundred Monday. May Close Aug. 12. Ban Johnson sounded the keynote to the situation yesterday when he declared that the world's series would be cleared out if the way before Sept. 1. There is now some talk of setting Aug. 12 as the closing date. At this time the clubs are scheduled to start on another tour, which will mean aided expense.

I The world's series, if played at all. I will probably be a priv ate enterprise.

engineered by the two clubs finishing at the top of the li.-i. It looks now as though there wci'.d be no chance for th? national comrulaalon to come to life long enough to manage the classic.

WRESTLING FOR FAIR WEEK AT MILWAUKEE

MILWAUKEE. WIS , July 31. A big wrestling carnival will be conducted hre during state fair week In September, which is expected to bring together the best wrestlers in the cojjntry. Joe Steoher. Wladek Zbyszko. Tussif Husn, Dr. Roller. Anton Steoher. brother of Joe. Charles Pospishill, Iva MichaIoff. Ivan Linau. Pula Mevnp.-ia. and Joe Alvarez are sought for the contests.

FHILADELFHIA. PA.. July 31. The. six round 'fights between Battling Lv(nsky and Harry Greb. Jack Thompson and Sam Langford. Irth Patsy Cline and Willie Jackson, and Soldier Bartfeld and Jack Britton schedule at Shibe Tark last night, were postponed until tonight because of rain.

A Jink seems to pursue all those vrho aspire to oust Mr. Rodriguez of Cuba from the Job of second basing for the Giants. J'-hn McGraw grabbed the joungster from h:s hiding place In th "bushes" last fall. The Cuban was a first sacker. but such a rpendid fielder that McGraw said to him: "You're going t? be a second baseman from now- on." At that time the Giants had Charley Herzog as the keystone guardian with Jimmy Smith as his understudy. Right away the Jinx busied itself in the Cuban's favor by engineering a trade which sent both Herzog and Smith to tli" Braves. Along came Larry Doyle, who defied the Jinx by opening the .season at second fur the Giants Two weeks passed and Larry was in the ivspita! and Rodriguez on second. The kid is a miraculous fielder, but notoriously weak with the mace. That fcult finally caused John McGraw to buy IWt Nieheff. former Phillle, to replace him. Rodriguez was sent to the bench and Niehoff to the second base. Hardly had Nifhoff arived there when a zipnling liner smashed a finger and Rodriguez got back on the Job once more. A few weeks passed and McGraw snared a youngster named Sicking, stationed him at second and chased the Cuban to the bench. The Jinx got Viuj;-, something happened to Sicking in a hurry and once more Mr. Rodriguez of Cuba went back to second
