Aug 21.— Louis Tellier, the golfing champion of France, has sailed for the United States to compete in the golf tournament at Brookline, Mass. S T. LOUIS, MO., Aug. 21—What’s the matter with St. Louis? Folks in the Ea^t think that the Yan kees are in bad light, but the New Yorkers looked so much better than the Missourians yesterday that Ban Johnson’s visit here is timely. The American League Czar has sent word that he would be here this afternoon to talk over the St. Louis situation with Owner Hedges. Stovall and cer tain newspaper men. The league po tentate recognizes that baseball Is pretty nearly dead in St. Louis and he thinks he can produce a remedy. Yesterday only 1,100 people saw New York beat the Browns and that includes the pass gate. People here no longer patronize the game, either at the American or National League parks. For that matter, the Federal League doesn’t draw either. There was a time when this city was known as the most loyal of all burgs, but continued disaster has finally sick ened the patrons, and while 10,000 people visit the new public bathing pond a measly 1,100 go to see the cellar champions fight it out. It is just possible that St. Louis may beat it out of the circuit and some other city take Its place. Secretary Tom Da via, of the Ne\y York club, was disgusted yesterday at the showing Iri Chicago the Yankees drew splendid crowds, because they are playing just as good ball as the Athletics now, what with the four pitchers going like demons and Swee ney turning back nearly every man who tries to steal. “None of the clubs are making any money out here,” said Davis. “Even the Sunday attendance has fallen away. I can not explain it. but the locai jump is beginning to be a hard ship. considering that a visiting club is barely able to make expenses.” Ban Johnson may decide to shift the circuit. For example, either Bal timore or Buffalo would be a better paying proposition than St. Louis. Many managers have had a go at this team, but not since the days of Com ickey has there been a pennant win ner here. EMPIRE LEAGUE.
