NATIONAL FIGHT SEEMS BE OVER Giants in Old Place as Lead - ens and All Oaks Except Chicago an'1 Cinev Plumb' Discourage^. mus Early i Uy JOHN tl. KiTKIt , CoyrltftL 1924, kv TM A?mm New York, June 3.?If the Cleve-| land Indians and Philadelphia had been able to hold ihe pace .hey trott-l ed in 1923, the race for the Ameri can League championship today would be the tightest in the history of that organisation prior to the Fourth of July. It would nut be ne cessary to look for a difterence in the Chicago or Washington stand ings. lfoth of these clubs could re main as they are. But the closing of the period up to Decoration Day saw eight games be tween the tail enders and the team in first place in the American League. It also saw two presumably strong teams in the seventh and eighth place. Today those same "strong" teams are tied for the bottom. . How* ever, it is possible that the fourth of July may bring a change which will bring the tail enders and the league leader closer together. Decoration Day and July four are the big guide posts along the baseball highway. The American League was set this ' spring for one of the closest races in major league history. The weakness that has developed comes from where It was least expected, which proves again that no man can put a ball team together on form alone and find that it will invariably do Just what he expects from It. The margin between the top and the bottom in the National League on Decoration Day was 11 games. Veteran managers say that if they can run out in front by Decoration Day they have a good chance of win ning the pennant, and that if they can show a five game lead In July 4, they are almost certain of win ning it. This Is not a law, by any means. It has failed to work out more that once. But It has worked out oftener than it has failed. The Qiants have not the same Doc oration lead that they had a year ago, and they are a mighty danger ous combination for the other clubs, .for they have not even dug Into their reserve power. They have got to be beaten savagely by the West if the championship is to go to that part of the world, because it begins to look us if Brooklyn, the hope of the East, cunnot land a punch against its metropolitan rival. Philadelphia und Boston are hardly to be taken Into consideration. The National League as a whole has shown Its power, with the pos sible exception of Pittsburgh. There Is still enough possibility In that team to make it dangerous If it ever geti under way. If it could win one whole series from the Giants it would become u menace at once. Of course It would huve to continue to win, after that. The difference between the Amer ican League race and that In the Na tional League Is that the former car ries with It a greater element of doubt than the latter. There Is so much power In Cleveland and there are so many good points about the Athletics that the possibility of something happening Is always pres ent. In the National there Is a re cuirence thus early of the same old conviction that the Qiants are In the lead to stay. The other clubs, with the exception of Chicago and Cincin nati are discouraged already, and the season Is Just six weeks old. WALKER HOLDS TITLE Philadelphia.

If you want a personal reply enclose a stamped. self-addressed en velope. Otherwise your ques tion will be answered in tk?j column. Address: John B. Foster, special baseball correspondent of The Dally Advance, 811 World Building, New York. Question?If the batsman bats the ball over first and is spiked by the first baseman can a man on the line take his place to make the run If there are bench men on the team? Answer?If a player Is Injured he may have a substitute. Question?There is a runner on | first. The pitcher throws the ball to the batter and he fouls It. The | runner is returning to first base and I the pitcher throws the ball to the baBeman and the ball Is put on the | runner. The batter was standing In ? the box. Does the batter have to 1 wait until the runner gets back be 1 fore he stands in the box? Answer?He is not compelled to do I so but it is good policy to remain loutside. It must be borne in mind that the ball Is not in play until it has been returned to the pitcher and the umpire has announced play. When that happens the runner must protect hims?jlf although the um pire should not start play until ho sees that the runner has returned. PROMOTERS PUT HEADS TOGETHER What's Worrying Them Is Whether Carpentier Is Still Good Metropolitan Drawing Card Since Gilihona Fight. Ily FAIK PLAY (Coolant, in. ?> T?. ????-> New York, June 3. ? Now the heads of the promoters are together for fair. They are wondering of course where Carpentier fits in. Has he any drawing powers left In New York and vicinity since his defeat by Gibbons Saturday night. Upon the answer to this question depends much. Talk has been heard since Saturday of this fight and that. But a deal of thinking has yet to be done. Sprained ankles in a ring fight don't get much credence from the f?ns as a rule.

Tommy Gibbons was obviously easy on the Frenchman after the al leged accident happened. No keen Oliver seems to have any dcubt that Tommy had his man lu the ninth as a result of wearing body blows and could hare ftnl-ihed him within the limit had he \.ared to do so. Descamps will affirm that had .t nci been for the ankle Carp would bait, finished in good shapt and will tlu.ra credit for the manner In which his man stood up to a knockout hit ter so soon after an ocean voyage. Very possibly many will agree with hint. If the writer were a promoter he would take a gamble with consider able pleasure on the appearance of Carpentier in New York against, say Spalla. In fact it will be sur prising if such a battle la not ar ranged. As for a bout with Tunney that would pay. too and It looks as though it will be held.
