After tossing the Cubs for four straight setbacks, the Corsairs en- gaged in the first of a three-game series at Cincinnati yesterday and lost by 2 to 1, Red Lucas yielding only six hits. Pittsburgh has two games to play and needs but one victory to take the banner even though the second place Cardinals capture two remaining contests. St. Louis loafed yesterday.

Depending on the play, the blocking guard charges forward to make an opening, or in the case of the forward pass, punt and other types of plays, he covers as much ground as possible by spreading his feet as far as he can reach. Usually, when called on merely to block, he stands high to keep the defensive linesman from jumping over him. When charging to make a hole, he hits low, with head up to watch opponent.

T have in mind a happening in the recent world championships, when Bill Tilden met Gene Borotra. While it savored of sportsmanship, yet it was in no y a compliment to Umpire Davis. ,_ It was in the second set. Tilden, in making a difficult return, drove the ball far out of bounds. Just as he was about to make the play, a ball from one of the other courts rolled slowly in front of Tilden. In all probability the vagrant ball did interfere with Tilden to a cer- tain extent. He jimmedictely en- tered a protest. It was as quickly overruled by the official, who evi- lently was of ihe opinion that Til- den’s chance of accurately return- ing the shot was very remote, even if-the hall had not handicapped him to a certain extent. se Tt was apparent by his actions that Tilden was a bit peeved when the peert -was_ disal- lowed.

The French- man also made it evident to the of- ficials thet he believed they had erred; that the ball rolling in front of Tilden had interfered with his stroke. Then came Tilden with a so-| called sporting gesture. He just as deliberately served a double fault. Which made it all even again. However, each player ap- peared to be satisfied that he had done the sportsmanlike thing and the game went on, with Tilden still having the disputed roint against him and in favor of Borotra. Real sportsmanship, I think, -alls for the acceptance of the rulings on the part of the officials without a protest, whether right or wrong, when judgment alone is involved. see Had Tilden accepted the de- cues tt a bad hed met andicap; is play, there would have been no occasion for 10 to 5 victory behind the pitching of Dazzy Vance, who stopped the New Yorkers with six hits. The loss put the Giants a full game be- hind the second place Cardinals.

Boston's fray with the Mackmen was postponed by agreement. Ineligibility Hits Gopher Squad Hard Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. eligibility is laying a heavy hand on the Minnesota football team this year, according to Dr. Clarence W. Spears, head coach, who points out that just 12 of the men who turned out for last year’s huge freshman squad are now eligible as sopho- mores to take part in games. Not all of the remainder were lost by the ineligibility route, as some have quit school and others have left the football field by~ the quituation route, Chief among those whose marks now stand between them and a first squad uniform are Pharmer, the Washington state player, who is to be as_ clever a back as Minnesotz has had in recent years; Raymond Tust, the Winona drop-kicker and quarterback, and Andy Geer, the elusive backfield man from Crooks- ton. Loss of these three, who had been counted on to give tone to the back- field reserves on the 1927 team, is throwing a tremendously heavy burden on the regular backs and will make it necessary for Minne- sota to play a mare conservative type of game than Dr. Spears would naturally choose. Pharmer and Geer still have a chance to work off conditions be- fore the season ends and both are trying to make the grade. Tust seems lost for the year, as is the veteran Clarence Arendsee, who left school when the academic line the gestures that followed. The Fall in Suits, turned back his charges.
