National League Owners Consider Season's Closing NEW YORK, July 31. President Tenor, of the National League, Tuesday called a special meeting of the National League club owners to be held here Saturday morning. The allImportant subject of closing the present season will be the chief topic of discussion. Plans for the world's series also will be taken up. Secretary John G. Foster, of the Giants, announced yesterday that the Red- Giant game of Friday, August 9, will be played off in a double-header on Wednesday, August 7, giving the Rffls an off day in which to get home. According to the present schedule the team will reach Cincinnati on the afternoon of August 9.

hy JACK. KEENE The greatest opportunity in the history of the sport is before amateur baseball. , Enthusiasts of the sandlot game should make every effort to take advantage of that opportunity.

These conditions will give the amateur players the men and boys who play for pastime between working hours the chance cf their lives. Baseball fans will begin to follow teams which play a good article of ball. Deprived of professional baseball, they will turn to these teams for their sport. The amateur teams, instead of playing second fiddle will furnish all the music.

The war has caused most of the minor leagues to quit. Hundreds of towns which had professional baseball before the war have no league teams now. Big league basebajl may suspend after September 1 until after the war. It behooves amateur players all over the country organized in associations and unorganized, to show the public what they have been doing and can do in the line of playing individually, as teams and as organizations. . . The writer can see where, especially In small towns, a league of amateur teams would draw as well as the minor league pro-organizations if handled properly by capable men. And get the writer right. We mean real amateur ball. This Is no time to put amateur ball on a commercial a professional basis by building up teams of "amateurs" which expect and receive pay from club backers or the gate receipts. The teams should be amateur in every sense of the word.

The National Baseball Federation, the leading organization in amateur baseball, has its best chance to show its worth. Its officials should take steps immediately to enlarge the scope of the organization to encourage every town, village and cross roads to get into the game. Put the sport on a sportsmanship basis. Eliminate all the jetty quarreling and throat-cutting tactics practiced in the past in arranging championship series.

It Is the patriotic duty of this organization to take the lead.

Living in the shadow of the north uole, the far-off Eskimo strikes quartz against a piece of iron pyrite and gets a flame.

Hendricks Wants to Take Baseball Team to France NEW YORK, July' 31.-Tack Hendricks, manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, announced Tuesday that he Is anxious to go to France to promote baseball. "All I want," said the manager of the Cardinals, "Is to do my share for the boys. I woll go to France for the Knights of Columbus or any other organization interested in the welfare of the soldiers." When asked whether he would .be willing to take a team of players to France to play a team of army men led by Johnny Evers, he declared, "Nothing would suit me better."

On The Screen

MURRAY. The "eternal triangle" with an new hypothenuse, forms the basis for Pauline Frederick's new Paramount picture which was taken from "The Hungry Heart," one of David Graham Phillips' Mst known novels. Four principal characters and a few small parts

WASHINGTON. William S. Hart, the foremost portrayer of western characters, will be seen in "The Silent Man," his latest photoplay made by Thomas II. Ince for Artcraft, at the Washington on Wednesday and Thursday. Hart's -appearance as a westerner have been many and varied since he deserted the speaking stage for mo

tion pictures, and he has attained a niche in the Hal lot Fame that is peculiarly his own. The actor's following is tremendous in all sections of the country, and his admirers flock to any theatre showing a new "Bill" Hart photodrama. In "The Silent Man" hart will have the role of a miner who has made a rich "strike" on the desert and has come into a small border town to record his claim. MURRETTE.

I began it by getting my divorce which was at least Interesting, if not altogether wonderful and then I received a portrait of you. Of YOU! I wish every day were as full of happiness as this one. "I must go in the living room now and play 'My Hero," the only appropriate selection In this case."

DON'T MISS THIS

"The Silent Man" reveals in the character of a miner who has struck "pay dirt" and who has come into a small border town for the purpose of registering his claim. Just how the miner is robbed of his mine through the connivance of a government clerk, and how he regains possession of his property and incidentally wins the heart and hand of a very charming and pretty young girl, are interestingly shown during the unfolding of the story. In "The Silent Man" Hart has the assistance of a company of skilled screen players, headed by that beautiful young actress, Vola Vale. It is the greatest "Hart" picture yet produced.
