C HICAGO, Aug. 29.—Mr. Warron Wood, our brilliant Western amateur champion, will not en ter the National this year. The an nouncement comes as a surprise to his hundreds of admirers and to his personal friends, and it means a dis tinct lessening of the West’s chance to bring home the championship. We had expected much of Warren this year, and his absence from the big competition at Garden City is a grievous disappointment to us. It weakens the Chicago delegation to a regrettable extent, but we admire the courage with which Warren has put aside the most fascinating pleasure in the world for the good of his busi ness. This is the busy season of the year with him. During the week of the tournament Warren will do doubt in dulge in occasional surreptitious dreams of a beautiful golf course and trailing galleries and little white balls in arrowy flight through the air or running swiftly over velvety greens to the waiting hole. He will probably hear, in imagination, the clapping of hands, the rustling movement of the heart of the golfer. Yet Warren, at the top of his game, has the courage to forego all the pleasure of compe tition that he knows so well and to devote himself to business. He has had a very liberal vacation this year, a month in the Ncfthwest and a week for the Western, and has put tempta tion aside and will work his hardest during that long first week of Sep tember. But we, the Chicago players, who are going to Garden City, in spite of our admiration for his conduct, are lamenting. We had counted upon Warren to make a good fight, and we are a rather small band to at tack the numerous and valiant East. Perhaps other Western cities wi.l come to our rescue. I, being a burnt child, am not rushing overconfidently into the fire. Many other Chicago players have deserted golf for business this year There is Albert Seckel. devoted to business ?ince his marriage, and D. E. Saw yer, equally devoted to money making just before he enters the strange land of matrimony. Upset in D. & F.

D ENVER, Aug. 30.—The muddled condition of the middleweight division regarding the cham pionship is in a measure attributed to the ten-round route. II is claimed that the distance is too short to pro duce a real champion. That twenty rounds are required for this, and that if the longer journey wore adopted we would have a recognized cham pion in that class. All of which sounds reasonable. Boxers of to-day adapt themselves to a short stay within the ropes. To make this a profitable thing they school themselves to box ju$t Wiough to enable them to "staff” 'along by clinching and holding to last for ten rounds. Then, as a rule, the average referee pronounces the bout a “draw.” the 6 cha'mp^onsMp 1 remain* I But they didn’t br.n K bin, success Always five or six contenders vvitn i claims and not a single one with cre- HE theory that the ball club has quite as much to do with the winning of a pennant as does the manager, and the old saw about a “manager must have something to manage before he wins fame,” will have two converts and two strong ahherents at the end of, the good year 1913. One is Frank Chance, and the other Jo- Tinker. At the start of the season, great things were expected of the Yank' and of the Reds. Why? Because of Chance and Tinker. Those great things have failed to come to pass. Because of Chance and Tinker? Not at all. It’s doubtful whether there ever was as weak a major league ball club as the one Frank Chance took hold of. He has been strengthening. He has made some radical moves He has been trying to get possessior of youngsters who would help him In adding to his reputation as a great manager. Joe Tinker has discovered that you must possess something in the way of good Dali players if you are to get anywhere. His experience as a short- | stop and his ability to field and hit | did him a w orld of good as a player. QNTDHHORRDW E AST LAKE tennis Is looking up. Of course, the Cotton States Championships, which begin September 8, will be the Loud Noise on the famous red clay courts. But In the meantime—a sort of preparatory fuss, as It were—the reg ular club tournament is to be played off, beginning to-morrow. Registration for this event has been going forward some time, and it is expected to bring out some brisk ten nis, which will serve to put the club veterans on edge for the important Cotton States tourney. The latest entrants to fasten their names to the list over In the Town Club rooms are T. M. Wilson. E. V. Carter, Jr., Halsey McGovern, B. Ragsdale, C. M. Ramspeck, A. (J. Adams, Jr., G. M.

Men who fought during the period when dis putes were staged “on the turf” never left the ring until a winner and a loser had been established. Then no arguments as to the verdict were dis- j cussed, because we might say “The 1 bouts refereed themselves,” and the j only use for the third man In the ring j at that time was to guard against ; transgressions of the code and to an- | nounce punishment when a violation I or breach of the rules was commit- j ted.

JENNINGS TO DEFY EDICT. DETROIT, MICH. Aug. 29.—Not withstanding the National Commis sioners’ ban on newspaper writing by ball nlayers, Hughle Jennings to-day announced that he will defy the edict by covering the world’s series for sev eral Eastern papers this fall. Plan Sunday Ball For Massachusetts NEW BEDFORD, MASS., Aug. 29. Citizens of Massachusetts may be permitted to say for themselves this fall if they favor Sunday baseball. In its campaign for a more liberal Sunday, the New England League is advocating a State referendum, and as a test an ordinance has been In troduced in the New Bedford City Council calling for a vote on whether Sunday ball shall be permitted In this city. It is admitted that the State law may prevent, but the sense of the voters will at least be determined If a vote is allowed. President Winsper, of the local New Bedford club, says he believes if the question was sub mitted to a referendum in the State at the coming fall election It would carry three to one in Massachusetts. The law under which prosecutions for Sunday playing have been made !s two centuries old, and advocates of the game say It Is not suited for pres ent conditions. O NCE a man had emerged from a trial of this kind against the claimants of honors of this or that division he was the recognized cham pion and Ills title was never ques tioned. Not so now, and the middle weight division lends Itself best to the illustration. Dillon, Klaus. Flab by, Papke, McGoorty and several others all lay claim to championship. Only one of them can be the leader, and yet how are you going to dis pute their contentions after listening to the argument they advance in making the claim. Ten rounds, as a rule, is too brief a space to decide a real winner between this lot. They all know the game, and they all know how to weather rough seas for a short time. But make these same chaps battle it out between themselves over the marathon route, and we’ll not be long in learning which of the group is entitled to recognition. SOUTH ATLANTIC LEAGUE.

At pres ent there are three clubs in the Na tional League owned by members of the fair but weak sex. Mrs. Britton owns the St. Louis club. Mrs. John T. Brush owns the controlling stock in New York and Mrs. William Locke is owner of the Philadelphia club. Mrs. Britton was the fir^t woman to own a ball club and her first year's experience was not only sad, but ex pensive. . Mrs. Havenor, who owns the Mil waukee club In the American Associa tion. has placed her business worries in the care of a man who knows the game, Bill Armour. Imagine the three feminine owners In the National League at a meet ing of that organization. Fine chance they would Have against the men magnates.

Aug. 29.—Navy officials to-day took steps Intended to have the Army team cancel its scheduled game on November 29 with the Carlisle Indians and play the Navy football squad Instead. The ac tion of the Army officials in schedul ing a game with the Indians on the day set for the classic Army-Navy game, following the deadlock over the field where the Army-Navy game should be played, has come as a shock to the Navy officials. The Navy to-day, It was said, urged upon its athletic board to accede to the Army’s demands that the annual game be played on the Polo Grounds, New York, fee)lng certain that if this concession Is not made nothing will induce the Army to cancel Its game with Carlisle. The Navy board wanted the game played this year In Franklin Field, Philadelphia, as In previous years. The Army claimed the field was too small to accommodate the crowd that wanted to attend.
