George Voight, the New York star, produced the next best, a 74. Dr. O. F. Willing, Portland, Ore., took a 77, while Russ Martin, Flossmoor, held himself to 78. Other practice scores were posted Friday by T. Philip Perkins, former British amateur champion, 83; Ross Sommerville, Canadian amateur champion, 81; Max Marston, national titleholder in 1923, 83; Watts Gunn, 82; Roland Mackenzie, medalist in 1925, 82; Lester Bolstad, 82; Ellsworth Augutus, 82; Arthur Sweet, 82; and Johnny Goodman, 82. The tournament proceedings were made more interesting Friday with the sudden entrance of Cyril Tolley, former British amateur champion. Unlike his fellow-Britons in the meet, Johnny and Alaric De Forest, Tolley had not signified his intentions of entering. He will be exempt from qualifying, as were the De Forests. Five former champions, Jimmy Johnson, Francis Ouimet, Max Mar- ston, Jesse Guilford, and Chick Evans, will perform in the Beverly battle, but the greatest of them all, Bobby Jones, will be present only in the role of spectator. taman Shires Still Heads Pack InA. A. Bat Race Hitting at .384 Clip to Lead Lebourveau By 8 Points; Mound Marks Good Chicago, Aug. 29.—(P)—Art Shires has finished another week as leader of the American Association batting race, and is the first player in the Jeague to bang out 200 hits. According to semi-official averages, he had a mark of 384 for 131 games, including _ Thursday's engagement, and led De Witt Lebourveau, Co- lumbus, by eight points. Lebourveau's only other leadership ‘was in stolen bases, in which he re- placed Bernie Neis, Minneapolis, as pace-setter, with a total of 23. Pat Crawford, another Columbus slugger, had 22 home runs and 296 total bases to lead in two departments. Tom Angley, Indianapolis catcher, had an average of .397, but played in only 96 games, 35 less than Shires had worked in. Following the Milwaukee first baseman among the reguiars were; Lebourveau, Toledo-Columbus, 376; Crawford, Columbus, .363; Keo- necke, Indianapolis, .363; Roettger, St. Paul, 360; Layne, Louisville, .351; Manion, Milwaukee, .351; Herman, Louisville, .350; Metzler, Milwaukee, 346; Saltzgaver, St. Paul, .344, There were plenty of good pitch- ing marks. Russ Van Atta, St. Paul, had 10 victories and three defeats; Bill Swift, Kansas City, had 13 and 5; John Prudhomme, St. Paul, and Ken Penner, Louisville, each had 15 and 6; while Dutch Henry, Minne- apolis, had compiled 19 triumphs against nine defeats. Oral Hilde- brand, Indianapolis’ young south- paw, had struck out 95 batsmen, to lead in that department. NATIONAL LEAGUE nats oxton .

The big! slugger, after an early injury, had difficulty in regaining his batting eye and so well was his place filled by young Jim Collins that the critics were beginning to count him out. But predictions were premature.) Since returning to the lineup, Bot-| tomley has been hitting with all his former skill and power, and his big stick played a prominent part in the Cardinals’ last triumphant tour of the east. His comeback campaign, through Thursday’s*games, had car- ried him up to fourth place among the National League regulars with a mark of .338 in 80 games. . Virgil Davis, big backstop of the Philadelphia nine, clung to the lead- {ership through another week with an javerage of .350, followed by Bill |Terry of the Giants, with 344, and Chuck Klein of the Phillies, with 341. Then comes Bottomley, with .338; Cuyler, Chicago, 337; Hornsby, Chi-! cago, 334; Grimm, Chicago, .331; Hafey, St. Louis, 327; Stripp, Cin- cinnati, 326, and Cuccinello, Cincin- nati, 324, to complete the first ten. While he has lost the batting lead- ership, Klein still heads the field in Tuns scored, with 109, compared to 98 for Terry. He has hit the most {home runs, 31, and knocked in the most runs, 109. Mel Ott, stocky Giant outfielder, is the Philly star's only real rival in the home run race, with 26, and also stands second in runs knocked in, with 91. Frankie Frisch, St. Louis, with 20 stolen bases, practically was assured high honors for the season. His closest rival was Pepper Martin, a team-mate, who had pilfered 13. Jess Haines, St. Louis veteran, boasted the highest avérage among the league's regular pitchers, with 11 victories and three defeats. His rookie team-mate, Paul Derringer, was tied with Bill Walker, New York southpaw, for second place, each with 14 wins and six defeats. Burleigh Grimes of the Cardinals and Ed Brandt of Boston topped the list in total triumphs, each with 16. Sun Beau Expected To Boost Winnings Chicago, Aug. 29.—(7)—Sun Beau, greatest money winner of all turf history, went out in search of still more gold Saturday, lining up as a top-heavy favorite against 11 rivals in the mile and a quarter dash for the $25,000 added Lincoln hendicap, at Lincoln ‘A victory for Sun Beau would add slightly more than $22,000 to his world’s record bankroll of $334,044. :| Litchville-Marion To.Play Grove Nine LITTLE WORLD SERIES WILL OPEN IN ASSOCIATION CITY St. Paul Is Almost Certain to Face Champion of Inter- national League Chicago, Aug. 29.—(?)}—The “Littie World Series” will open on the home lot of the American Association pen- nant winner, undoubtedly St. Paul, Wednesday, Sept. 30, and continue there for four games before moving into International League territory, President Thomas J. Hickey of the American Association said Saturday. President Hickey said hopes still were held that the Pacific coast would make the series a three-some but that because of a certain play-off there for the title between the first. and second half split season winners that it was questionable. If the Pacific Coast League winner of the play-off decides to play, Presi- dent Hickey said arrangements would be made to do so wth the winner of the American Association-Interna- tional League series probably going to the coast to open. There wasn’t much doubt as to St. Paul's lease on the flag Saturday al- though the pennant battle in the In- ternational League was not decided. The Saints hoisted their first place margin to 13 1-2 games Friday by defeating Toledo 5 to 3, while the second place Kansas City Blues split a doubleheader with Louisville, win- ning the first game 2 to 0 behind Bayne's four-hit pitching and drop- ping the nightcap 7 to 6. Milwaukee crowded closer to the third place Indianapolis club by trim- ming the Indians 3 to 2 in the opener of their series at Milwaukee. The Columbus-Minneapolis game was called off because of cold weather.

Roy Mahaffey, Athletics—Won 15th mound victory of season, beating Yankees 5-4, Rain Causes Delay In Doubles Tourney 2lby Goose Goslin and Tom Jenkins, Outfielder for Champions Has Broken Wrist Which Failed To Heal Properly (By The Associated Press} Notwithstanding the comfortable lead enjoyed by his Philadelphia Ath- letics, things are breaking none too well these days for Connie Mack. “Mule” Haas, dependable center- fielder, is lost for the remainder of the season. A wrist broken several weeks, ago, has failed to mend prop- erly. There is only @ slight possibility that he will be back in time for the world series. The champions have been playing for a fortnight with only one of their regular outfielders, Bing Miller, and} with three-fourths of their regular infield. Al Simmons, slugging left gardener, has been laid up with a sprained ankle, and Joe Boley, short- stop, has been able to see little action. There is a possibility that rookies will be holding down at least two positions for the Mackmen when the big series rolls around. Mickey Cochrane, peppery little catcher, who was given a short vaca-| tion when he complained of dizzy spells the team’s recent western tour, returned to the line-up “Friday, ap- parently none the worse for wear. He banged three hits to help the A’s take the first of a two-game series from the New York Yankees, 5 to 4. Trailing 2 to 4 at the start of the seventh, the patched-up elephants jumped on Charley Ruffing and his successor, Ed Wells, for three runs to sew up the decision. Roy Mahaffey, though relieved for a pinch hitter in the seventh, received credit for his} 15th victory, He has been beaten; only twice. For the second straight day the Cleveland Indians hammered out a one-sided triumph over the luckless St. Louis Browns, 13 to 1. Mel Har- der yielded only four hits, two each while his teammates made 16 off Gray and Kimsey. ‘The Washington Senators and Bos- ton Red Sox tried hard to supply an-; other American League game, but were | forced to let the rain have its way after three innings. The Sox were leading, 3 to 0, when the contest fi- nally was called after two lengthy in- terruptions. The National League's lone engage- | ment served merely to stretch the St. Louis Cardinals’ lead over the field, after going scoreless for six in- nings. The Red Birds got to Larry French for two runs in the seventh and four more in the eighth to defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6 to 4. Sparky Adams’ double knocked in the win- ning runs. George Grantham hit a homer for the Pirates in the third.

Aug. 29.—(—The Rey. Garrison Roebuck, a United Brethren minister of McClure, O., un- til Friday virtually unknown in clay target circles, Saturday held the most highly prized honor in the gun world—the Grand American Handi- feap championship. Shooting at clay targets for only the 10th time, Roebuck brought the classic of the Amateur Trapshooters| associaton tournament back to Ohio for the first time since 1926, Breaking 96 out of 100 targets from. the 17-yard line, Roebuck tied with Fred Harlow, Newark, O., and R. F. Willbaum, Greenville, O., and then continued on to win by breaking 68 of 75 targets in the shoot-off. Harlow, Grand American champion in 1908, fell early in the three-way shoot and finished third. Willbaum Placed second, falling three targets Short of Roebuck's mark. The Rev. R. Roebuck's victory net- ted him more than $1,000 in cash and trophies. He was undecided until al- most shooting time whether to enter the event, and was listed as a “dark horse.” Rufus King, 15, Wichita Falls, Tex., whom Roebuck succeeded to the title, finished far down the list with an 82, A broken right foot and a four-yard handicap proved too exacting. Miss Jeanette Jay, Waverly, Ia., winner of the North American Wom- en’s championship earlier in the week, led feminine shooters with a 92, one point ahead of Miss W. Stillwagon, Trenton, N. J. Miss Belle McCord Roberts, Long Beach, Calif., was third with 89. WILL MEET AT DULUTH Duluth, Minn.

Broadway Simmons’ Layoff Gave Two Yankees Good Opportunity. Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig Gained on Athletic in Hit- ting During Week Chicago, Aug. 29.—(7)—Al Sim- mons’ bid to retain the Amercan league individual batting title has not been helped by an enforced lay- off of more than a week due to an| infected leg. The semi-official averages, which include Thursday's games, show Babe Ruth gained 10 points to .381, with Simmons only four points out in front. Lou Gehrig, the other member of the Yankee slugging firm, also) took advantage of Simmons’ vacation |to jump into a tie in total hits, with 174, Gehrig held sole possession of |three other leaderships. He had batted in 138 runs, had scored 130 times, and had a total base collection of 330. The Babe cracked out three more) home runs during the week to raise his | total to 37, three more than Gehrig's total. Benny Chapman, the Yankees’ sprinting outfielder, stole six more bases and had 51 for the season. Following Simmons and Ruth among the regulars were: Morgan, Cleveland, .358; Gehrig, New York, .354; Webb, Boston, .351; Alexander, Detroit, .341; Goslin, St. Louis, 337; Cochrane, Philadelphia, .337; West, Washington, .336; Averill, ee 333. Robert Moses Grove failed to create | a new American League record for gonsecutive victories when the St. Louis Browns beat him, but the dqfeat did not drag the Athletics fireballer down to within hollering distance of the pack.. He had the handsome rec- ord of 25 triumphs against three de- feats, and still had a mark of 30 vic- tories at which to shoot and plenty of time in which to accomplish the feat. George -Earnshaw's idleness helped Grove to move into the lead in strike- outs with 136 in 34 games. Chicago Junior Nine .| Winner in 1st Game Houston, Tex., Aug. 29.—(}—The| first victory of the junior baseball world series was held Saturday by a team of hard-hitting boys from South Chicago.
