BASEBALL SPORTS OF ALL SORTS-BOXING Ned Sawyer, E. H. Bankard and Chick Evans are the only Chicagoans left in the western amateur golf tour nament at Cleveland, but the chances of one of the first two to take the title are considered excellent, in the flight of play so far in the tournament Sawyer yesterday put out his fellow townsman, Paul Hunter, in easy fash ion, and Evans had a walkaway with Kenneth, Edwards. Bankard was driven to the 37th hole by Howard Less of Detroit. Jack Neville of California, one of the best golfers on the coast, is still in the hunt and regarded as a worthy opponent for the Chicago trio. He meets Sawyer today. Bankard has a hard match against James Stan dish, who was runner-up to Evans last year. The big surprise of the day was the elimination of W. C. Fownes by Bingham of Cleveland. Charley White was given a sweet battle by Kid Lewis, an Englishman, in ten rounds at New York, aniiat the end the margin was so slight hr favor of the Chicagoan that there was nothing to brag of. White did the- cleanest hitting, a hard left m the fourth round giving him a chance. Morris N. Moren, Jackson Park Golf club, lowered the amateur rec ord for the Jackson Park course, rounding the 18 holes in $8, one bet ter than the mark jointly held by Chick Evans and William Rauten busch. Golfers who buy balls from small boys in Jackson and Marquette parks will be liable to arrest hence A -forth, according to a new park rule. The idea LMa good one. Purchasing balls from Toys encourages them to pick up any unprotected ball on the course. Frank Cavanaugh won the two mile open professional cycle race at the Riverview velodrome. Eddie Root took the five-mile motor-paced event. Louis Kuehl led the amateurs In the two-thirds mile. STANDING QF THE CLUBS National League W. L. Pet. W.

It behooves the White Sox to make some headway while the New York Yankees are in town for five games, beginning with a double bill this aft ernoon. Red Sox have started well in St Louis and of their remaining six games in the Mound City should get four. To keep pace with this speed the South Siders must grab four from the Donovan tribe. Rowland's people slumped badly in the Red Sox series. They batted fu tilely against the slants of the op posing pitchers and kicked games away by execrable fielding. Slumps are to be expected and it is about time for the Sox to shake out of this one and ride again toward the top. Of almost as great interest is the argument on between President Comiskey of the Sox and President Ban Johnson of the American: league , 1-.a.AaAa --- .AJaAAifii.
