DulTey will not write as he has nlrearly been ordered into oer- vic-e at to train aviators.

While he is In the service will be compiled by members of the Post sporting staff. Garrett Cochran, a the Pennsylvania National Guard, who died of pneumonia in i'rance will be remembered by the older followers of football in this city. He was captain of the and elevens at Princeton and an all-America end in the latter year. His team scored a 13 to 0 victory over Harvard and 24 to 6 triumph over Y'ale, which gave Princeton the college championship. In 1S97 there was no Harvard-Prlnceton contest and his team lost to the Elis 6 to 0.

Cochran was one of the greatest ends and all-around football players the game has produced. His power of leadership and personal magnetism placed him in the first ranks of football leaders. It is not generally until late August or September that horsemen look for record breaking miles on the Grand Circuit. By that time the campaigners are expected to be seasoned and in top form. This year has proyed an exception, however, for at Toledo on Tuesday the greatest pacing race in history was produced.

In the free-for-all-pace there, Miss Harris, a bay mare, of the Peter the GreM family, driven by Tommy Murphy, stepped a mile in for a new record for mares. The second and third heats went to a bay horse, Single G. in 1:59 1-2 and 3-4. This made it a new record for a divided heat race. Single G.

was driven by the veteran Ed Geers. Incidentally that second heat was the fastest trot the veteran reinsman has ever driven in nis long and glorious career. Some very bitter medicine was needed to bring home to folks given credit for piloting baseball along appointed path the fact nothing can be taken for I granted. Whatever the destiny of the pastime may be in the somewhat cloudy future, numerous persons will hold firmly to the opinion the powers-that-be soundly asleep at the switch Too great complacency and self-satisfaction have received a jolt as is a jolt. Perhaps it been a bad thing, after ail.

One thing that looms in the distance has to do with schemes of reorganization of a sport, peculiarly American and cherished as such by millions of Americans and no small num- of other races. Various alleged hlgh-lights among the directing powers of baseball might slide gracefully or otherwise into the seclusion af- forded by private life and the grief ensuing would be by no means universal. In some respects a condition has come forward that might be entitled a blessing in disguise if its aftermath should develop as stated. Among other adequate reasons for the government of these here United States to have a heart and let our National frenzy persist Is the item there Is a full-fledged Cubanola battery in big league baseball which demands looking over. One Adolphe Luque and one Manuel Cueto are in our midst with- the Cincln- nati Reds.

A slim glimpse of the brunette battery, was glimpsed at Braves Field yesterday. The two showed for one brief inning, which is by no means enough to satisfy the curious. It is not news that any ball player outside of the draft who knows a thing about the game has every chance in the world to land a real diamond job, nor that the Eastern and other minor leagues are being combed for talent in these piping times of war. The report that George Foster, formerly pitcher on the Red Sox team, may return to the game Is of particular interest to Boston fans. George, it is said, has disposed of his farm In Oklahoma and got in touch with the New York Americans, which latter move is to be regretted.

The fans would like to see George back with his old love, the Red Sox, as for years he made good here and was regarded as a regular member of the local baseball family. Little noise is being made in this section of the woods about the coming battle between Fred Fulton and Jack Dempsey, to be decided early Saturday evening in the ball park at Harrison. N. but it is shaping up as a real mill, nevertheless, and practically amounts to a fight for the American heavyweight championship and title. True, the distance will be but eight rounds, but if Fred Fulton should happen to stop Dempsey, or Dempsey do the same by Fulton, In the most probable event of Willard refusing to battle the winner we shall have a new WILL Braves Shut Legs RULE UPON GAME TODAY Red Out 4 to BASEBALL RESULTS AND STANDINGS 0 To Consider Brief of the Baseball Commission July Baker late today postponed until tomorrow his decision on extending the effective time of the or hght" regulations as they apply to professional ball players.

SECRETARY BUSY Dick Rudolph in Rare Form and Holds Visiting Team to Four Widely Scattered Hits TOLD IN A NUTSHELL XATIONAL LEAGUE. BOSTON BY ED With unwonted ease, neatness and despatch the Braves tucked away a 4 to 0 besting of the Cincinnati Reds yesterday afternoon to mark the resumption of exhibitions at Braves Field after the lengthy absence of the Stallings tribe. Provost Marshal-General Crowder waa 4o lay his recommendations be- title holder. Jess already has stated fore the Secretary after receiving a that he would not return to the ring. brief from the National Baseball Comand unless he changes his mind, which mission but the Secretary was unable is not likely, the winner Saturday is going to become whole lot like the big works.

Should baseball be stopped, an added impetus will be given to the local horse game, and particularly to the prospective visits here of the Grand Circuit the latter part of August. Out at Readviile the old track is fast taking on its appearance of former greatness and all In a very short time we shall be forgetting about the wide breach between the past and present of the sport which it is hoped will have beeft -closed for all time- And In the meantime, all followers of the light-harness sport should not forget to pay tribute to those brave hearts here In Boston, the Bay State and New England, who have kept the game alive and spared neither time nor money to bring it back to us. It is more than likely that Bart Macchia, the crack English High School football, baseball and track star, will enter Tufts College in the fall. Macchia under the tutelage of crack athletic coaches should develop into one of the best all-round New England college performers. 4 Mechanic Arts High Is due to make a comeback in athletics when school reopens.

During the past few years athletics have slumped so that the school was not represented by a nine this spring. With the appointing of a live wire coach at M. A. H. which the school department of hygiene intends doing, the boys will no doubt turn out in greater numbers in all branches of sport.

PROCESS SIMPLE The process of whitewashing was simplicity Itself. There was not more than remote chance for the Reds to compose a run or so out of the brand of pitching presented by Dick Rudolph. If Rudolph has pitched his last game for the Braves be cdrtainly completed his term yesterday in polished fashion, as the sum of four very much divided hits showed him to lack nothing of his wonted wizardry. Added to which his brethren made their ro8.slble final appearance as nifty as possible by giving to Dick all that they had. They have to labor fiercely to turn in the win, as they had it pretcy easy with Mike Regan.

It was fairly soft to hit Mike, even though the number of seven safeties won from him was not Impressive.

The War Secretary said he would consider the brief and General recommendations tonight and expected to announce his decision in the morning. National and American league baseball officials and club owners, who were here today to complete and present to General Crowder the brief in the. case, were hopeful that Mr. Baker would extend the time of putting the order into effect until the end of the season.

They base this hope upon the previous statement that it was not certain that the baseball industry would be disrupted by operation of the i bat. presented facts that would convince originally a member of the Braves, fln- him that professional leagues woufd jghed up for the Reds, with his Cuban partner. Cueto, acting as backstop. New Players Absent None of the new players secured by Stallings showed up yesterday as expected, so Jimmy Smith guarded left field to make a good job of it. By Thursday, if baseball is still in the land of the living, Stallings will have the majority of the new pitchers and Outfielder Jim Kelley with him.

correct name is Taggart, He will play under that name after joining the locals. According to a wire received from Kelly yesterday, he, with Pitchers George and Sherman, will report to the chief by Friday. On a couple of hits, a walk and a by Regan, the Braves moved to a start that settled the game in the first inning. Rawlings got the walk. He advanced to second on a Herzog hit-and-run single to centre.

Both Braves slipped into scoring berths on a Massey sacrifice. On a fast Wickland punch, knocked down by Regan, Rawlings made for home and would have been trapped for an out had the Red pitcher chosen to attend to him. But Regan tossed to first, getting Wickland, while Rawlings dashed home In safety. Then Herzog counted when Red Smith smashed one that Groh found too hot to halt. Opening the second.

Wilson shot one also too hot for Groh to stop. A sacrifice by Jimmy Smith moved Wilson to second, while he gained to third while Lee Magee was booting a rap by Rudolph. Another hot bust, this by Rawlings, broke through Groh for a hit to score WiLson. With two out in their third, the Braves made their fourth run. Red Smith counted it.

He singled past Groh, to come home when Koney tore off a double to the left field corner. The score: Rpiran 3. Donble Mafcee to Black- to Chase. J. C.

Dubuc, who is but 29 years of age and a resident of Montreal, has realized his ambitions at last, for ever since he first began to pitch professional baseball he has been anxious to play In the Hub. When the coast league broke up recently he had offers from the Indiana, the Philadelphia Nationals and the Red Sox, and jumped at the chance of playing with the Red Sox outfit. The veteran pitcher has been pitching and playing the outfield for the Salt Lake City team, and had a batting average of well over .300 in more than 40 games. Part of the time he helped out at the first bag and is almost as versatile a performer, consequently, as our own Babe Ruth.

LEFTY GEORGE TO REPORT TO BRAVES YORK, July 24. George, formerly a pitcher for the Columbus American Association club, was ordered today to report at once to the Boston Nationals. He has been home since the association concluded its season. the country will wake up to the fact that he should be Included In the group of really worth while men comprising Benny Leonard, Johnny Dundee, Lew Tendler, Patsey Kline and but one or two more, Britt showed the fans the other evening that Willie Jackson belongs in the one-night stand class, despite the big money the latter has been collecting for his services. The Dundee fight made Jackson and his fight here with STmler helped it along, but his later bout with Eddie Wallace gave a clear Insight as to status, as compared with Britt.

To my mind quick knockout of Dundee was In reality a bigger blew to Jackson than it was for Dundee, for it put the idea into the New head that he was a real clean-up kid with a knock dead punch, and from that time on he has devoted his attention to trying to keep up the rep. As a result a boxer who might have become formlBable as a boxer let much of the finesse of the art go to the dogs in favor of a one-punch knockout, which, lecause of his eagerness to land it, has brought back to him more than one defeat, the last one, that of the other night, a walloping. Now that JackSon has been tucked away practically for all time, so far as this city is concerned. Britt will be able to give hjf attention to Finney Boyle of Lowell, whom he is to box in the feature bout of 12 rounds at the Crescent A. that city, on Friday night.

Eoyle claims two wins over Britt, and has lost once himself, consequently the going on Friday night at Lowell is bound to interest a big bunch of ring followers. The tournament all the way looks the best yet arranged by Jack vVllllams, the club matchmaker. In addition to the bout at Lowell tomorrow night yesterday Britt was matched to meet Johnny Dundee at the Arena on Aug. 6, which from this distance looks a crowded house for the club and a fierce encounter between the principals. The club to protect itself and its members should insist that both men put up a big appearance forfeit, particularly Dundee.

Whether the hffs a lame leg or another fuss with his manager is not of half as much consequence as the insuring of his presence here the night of the bout. In the list of lightweights Mel Coogan should not be overlooked, though because of the fact that they all are dodging him, and have been doing so for a long time, his record is neither long nor particularly brilliant. The facf that the big men of the game have avoided him; that Patsey Kline deliberately pulled out of one match with him arranged for the Douglas A. C. speaks for Coogan.

I do not know whether he can either Dundee or remains for him to show but this Is certain: His manager has placed $100 in Boston which says that Coogan will make 133 for either of them at 6 or ringside. The Armory A. A. Is at work on a bout between Jack Britton and Tommy Robson of Malden for Aug. 13, which should be productive of an Interesting melee all the way.
