Chicago, July 31.—The Merry Pirate Trio of heavy hitters, is still sailing along serenely at the top of the National League batting column, with a little wider gap between them and the rest of the eld. Paul Waner and Joe Harris each made big gains this week, while Clyde Barnhardt added one point to his percentage. ■« The Reds’ winning streak is re flected in their batting figures which improved from .277 to .280, and put them in fourth place which was held by the Cards. The Pirates, the only .300 team held steady in their regu lar mark of .314. Frankie Frisch is the closest to the -Pittsburgh trio, with the same percentage as a week ago. .358, and three more stolen bases,, making his total 31. His batting mark is now 13 points better than Hornsby and he is 15 hits ahead of Rogers though Hornsby has Scored five more runs. Like the Yanks, the Pirates are easily the best in their circuit in both batting and pitching. Carmen Hill and Lee Meadows have won 15 and 14 games respectively with only four defeats a piece. Charlie Ro#t of the Clubs has. 16 victories with n>ne defeats. Naturally the home run race in the National is not as hot as the Babe Ruth-Lou Gehrig competition, but old Cy Williams, who could knock them over the fence before the days of the Jack-rabbit ball, is in the lead with 20 four-base blows. Leading National League hitters: P. Waner, Pittsburgh, .388; Harris, Pittsburgh, .385; Barnhart, Pitts burgh, 371; Frisch, St. Louis, 358; Harper, New York, .354; Hornsby, New York, -345; Hafey, St. Louis, .343; Farrell, Boston, .340; Tray nor, Pittsburgh, .345; Stephenson, Chicago, .331. The home run twins of the Yan kees, Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, have joined forces for an attack on the league leadership in batting now held by A1 Simmons of the Athletics. The figures show that the Yanks are getting the best batting and the best pitching. The Yanks have scored 103 homers, ruth and Gehrig having 33 a piece of this number up to Thursday.- They are more than 100 runs ahead of the next team, Phila delphia. Dutch Reuther and Waite Hoyt, their star left and right hand Sing ers are at the top among American Leagtie pitchers. Ruether’s score is 11 victories and two defeats and Hoyt’s 13 and 4. Sisler got only one stolen base this week, but his total of 19 is two bet ter than Jimmy Tavener of Detroit, runner-up.

New York, July 30. —Out-of-town visitors to what is facetiously known as the “Gay White Way,” will meet' with considerable disappointment if they expect to find the night life of Broadway they talk about in the movies. The mid-summer doldrums, which have put a quietus on everything ex cept motion pictures and a few highly successful plays and musical codedies, coupled with Mayor Walker’s curfew, the* prohibitive price of boozze and stringent police activity against nudity in the night clubs, have left the white light district strangely bereft of its supposedly naughty elements. Early summer invariably finds the night clubs dying off one by one as the seekers of entertainemtn take to the’cooler roof gardens for supper and dancing, but this year has broken all records for speedy cessation of festivi ties. The few night clubs which re main open are operating in the face of highly unfavorable conditions. Pub licity given to the tactics of certain cabaret proprietors who had the, tem perity to charge eight dollars a pint for whiskey of questionable content, have made the visitors wary of ap proach. Then, police action against dancing ladies who are wisely but not too well-clothed beneath the cab aret spotlights, has also removed some of the lure which a few months ago brought the patrons in droves. “Too much opposition,” was the way the situation was characterized by one of the Broadway nightclub managers. There was d time when visitors to New York made a bee-line for Broadway, seated themselves in a night club at a charge of three or four dollars a cover, spent a week’s salary for drinks, and waited for some thing to happen. Once in a while something did, but the police decided that dancers in night clubs were to be allowed no more privileges than danc ers anywhere else, and the edict of modesty went forth. Then, the necessity of clearing out at three a. m. sharp took a great deal of the fun away, and the night clubs began to lose their popularity. The hotel grill rooms and roof gardens are always well populated, but of course, no liquor is served in these places, and the problem of the out-of towner who comes to New York on a spree becomes a difficult one. However, one can always go to the movies. E. GARLAND BROWN MUST STAND TRIAL Officers Have Gone to California For Man Wanted at Whitevllle on Em bezzlement Charge. Whitevilie, N.

Knees Go Into Eclipse; Decree Os Fashion Czar 'Paris, July*3o.—Knees are to go into eclipse next winter. Waist lines will be worn and hips have been rein stated. This bulletin , from the sanctums of the dressmakers, where winter fashions are being shown to buyers from the United States and other countries, may have an immediate effect on consumption of the world. If women follow Paris —and they have done so for centuries—curves will be worn again without apology. Bread and potatoes fit right in the be-more-feminine campaign which in cludes everything connected with the fashion trade for hair goods to jewelry.
