HAMILTON (United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, July 30 The western brother of the east is Tallying to the. cause, has grabbed sport by the hair and is holding on tight. The west, it appears, is going to save American sports from complete annihilation in the hurly-burly business of war-making. St. Louis has come back with a re gular punch and is going to stage the A. A. U. games with all the frills the east usually provides, and is adding some. There will be no Army-Navy foot ball game next fall, for the wellknown obvious reason. For different reasons there will be no Harvard-Yale game, and the same reason Princeton's colors will not form a background for a Yale or Harvard score next fall. 'Some of the eastern colleges ere making a desultory effort at retain ing sports. 'Pennsylvania, for in stance, has made a vaiiant fight against completely wrecking the games. However, the gain will 'be little. Yale and Harvard are figur ing on giving the freshman a chance at it. In the west most of the btg colleges are going right through with it. The men who are not drafted will he right in the playing football schedules. Elmer Miller is showing signs of becoming a real outfielder for the Yankees. Always an excellent fielder, this youngster has begun to crack the ball. Ho has been moving recently at a rapid gait toward the select places held by a few players like Cobb, Speaker, Sisler and Mclnnis. Un doubtedly he would find welcome writ ten on the Yankee mat any time he carries a .300 batting mark around with him. Those who figured Eddie Plank through should count the games he has won and the excellent pitching performances the veteran has turned in. Plank, although past 40, is still very effective. He's good for a fine 1917 season, and probably 1918. Counting Plank out ia like hanging a time knockout on Hans Wagner. r 5 "Just Received!!"

(United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, July 30 The case of Joe Kelly is one of the strange twista of fate that once upon a time grabbed Jack Knight and, tioing him tight, threw him for a great loss. Joe always has boon one of the greatest stars of minor leagucdom. Away back in the days when Allen Sothoron, Mike- Reagan, George Sis ler, and other stars were wondering if they ever would be able to fill even a minor league uniform Joe was hit ting them far and wide. In addit ion 'he was establishing records as a base runner. Kellv has had several chances at the big show, always to fall down. He's growing old as ball players' age go, but he's still up there trying his mightiest to convince the big timers he has the punch. Joe began as a "ball player back in the Western association, in the palmy days of baseball. In a short he grad uated into a class A circuit, where his playing was of such a decided high class character he was sold his second year to the Chicago White Sox. Joe had battled his way into the select .300 class of hitters in a class A league and had fallen only slightly behind the league's record for stolen bases when Jimmy Callahan, who was then running the Sox, picked him up. Joe merely was used for practice that year and was sent back to the Western league, from where he soon graduated to the Pittsburg Pirates. No less an authority than Chick Fraser, the one time star pitcher, proclaimed Joe an excellent outfield er, one who would make his mark if ever given the chance, but Joe was discarded after a year's effort and re legated to the American association, where ho immediately started in all over batting at a .300 clip and stealing j bases at random. The Clubs grabbed Joe and he was j doing well when Fred Mitchell was ' engaged to pilot the Chicago club. J' j was sent to the Braves in the deal. He hasn't been paralyzing the op- i ! 1 1 i. 1. . . l 1 i. i position wnn ma nus, out iiu nus been playing decidely good baseball. A little encouragement will go a long ways with Kelly. He would be a star with the proper man to give him a chance. Perhaps Stallings is the man to do it. APRICOTS FOR CANNING A Foar Basket Crate for $1.70 Home Raspberries and Black Caps are in now.
