CHICAGO, Sept. 19.—(By The Associated Press).— The New York Yankees failed again yesterday to clinch the American League pennant. Meusel treated himself to two the other Yanks could not find Shaute’s delivery. The New York Giants advanced a little closer to the National league pennant and the world's series by defeating the St. Louis Cardinals, 10 to 4. They are now five games in the lead. The Pittsburgh Pirates traveled along by trimming the Boston Braves, 12 to 2. Cincinnati, being idle because of rain, dropped back. Detroit and Philadelphia split a doubleheader, the Tigers winning the first, 8 to 2, and losing the sec- ond, 10 to 9. St. Louis and Washington also divided honors, the Senators losing the first, 5 to 1, and winning the second, 2 to 1. : The Chicago White Sox trimmed the Boston Red Sox, 6 to 2, in Bos- ton. Willie Kamm, Chicago star third baseman, who is leading the American League in two base hits, ran his string to 39 when he got hold of one of Blethen's offerings. Eddie Collins, captain of the Chi- cago Americans, stole his 44th base of the season in the game against Boston. ‘Ted Blankenship, the Texas cow- boy, pitched in fine form, holding the Boston Americans tq seven scat- tered hits, while hig es bunched hits with some daring base running, which gave Chicago a 6 to 2 win. “Babe” Ruth put in another day without getting a hit, although he was at bat three times. He was un- able to solve the offerings of Shaute, Cleveland's young left hander. Dave Danforth had little trouble beating Washington, 6 to 1, in the first game of a doubleheader Gharrity’s homer, when acting as 4 pinch hitter, saving the Senator's from a shutout. Zahniser bested Kolp in a pitching battle in the second game and St. Louls took the short end of a 2 to 1 count. Pittsburgh hit a trio of Boston pitchers hard, collecting 17 hits and winning a one sided game 12 to 2. DO YOU KNOW By United Press Q.

PLAY CAUSES With only a small percentage of golfers the country over actively interested in tournament play any- thing savoring of stsndardization with regard to implements of th game is bound to cause more or less dissatisfaction. A few years ago standardization of implements might not have mattered a great deal, there being less tendency to variety. Furthermore, no thought has been given as to a possible shortage ot hickory, but now all that has been changed. In a magazine article Leighton Calkins, originator of the well known system of handicapping, takes a rap at standardization in part as follows: “Tt is amusing to note that stand- ardization is asserted as necessary to prevent a departure from the traditional and accepted form and make, in total disregard of the most sacred of all traditions of the game which confers upon the player com- Washington — Chicago .

Nor is the stéel shafted golf club which has been outlawed by cur own verning body. “The anene of the head and its material and that of the shaft are of no importance, nor are they regulated by the traditions of the game, but its most distinctive fea- ture is outraged by any interference with the pleyer’s choice in that re- spect. Good hickory is probably better than steel, but it is no more orthodox and it may be dearer and less durable, The ribfaced tron facilities back spin, but will never put the inexpert on all fours with the technician.” Original Interpretation. Calkins goes on to cell attention to the fact that the traditional form and make was properly stated in the original interpretatio: “plain shaft and head which does not con- tain any mechanical contrivance Coast Vernon 7, Portland 3.

The idea is that there must be an ordinary shaft with a solid head or @ striking surface at the end.

Such was the accepted and tradi tional order of things until oddly enough, first violated by St. An- drews itself, an organization which has ever stood for conservatism and ‘Wh fortous cf all traditions. the Golf association refused to follow suit and the latter in so doing un- doubtedly acted wisely.

Imagination plays a large part in this game. If a person thinks he has the right club in his hand nine times out pf ten he will get better results with {t than if he regarded it in a doubtful way. Character of Stroke, Golf surely is unique among games played with @ ball and club or bat. In baseball, tennis, squash and others the same ball is struck at by opponents. ‘Their’s is the clement of physical contact, entirely lacking in golf where competitors to all intents and purposes play separate games, mereiy comparing results, Students of golf know that the game has only a few constitutional elements, all others being secondary or derivatives, Its definition is found in the single sentence: “The game consists in each side playing a ball from a teeing ground into a hole by successive strokes.” In the o!4 days there never was any rule as to what kind of a ball Polo Annual tournament of Onwentsia Club, at Lake Forest, Ill.

GOLF UNPOPULARITY least four inches deep. ‘The rules also defined the character of stroke by the following: “The ball must be fairly struck at, not pushed, scraped nor spooned.” Practically the only limitations, therefore, were the size of the ho'e and the character of the stroke. One of the chief charms of the game lies in its individuality and the range of freedom of action for the player, As To the Ball If ft were not for the fear that became general a few years ago that increased resiliency of golf balls would be the means of spoiling the courses, or at least marring them to such an extent as to necessitate their having to be rebuilt, it is doubtful if there ever would have been a standard ball; that is, stan- dard as to size and weight. It has ever been open to question, however if extreme length would have worked a detriment to the game.

Some- traditional form and make of golf how or other, it is always what the stars or champions do or can do that seems to set the example or fashion for the vast majority of de- votees. They tell a story at the expense of a certain golfer who fora num- ber of years had done nearly al! his Playing over a rather short and com- paratively easy course. In a bus!- ness way he became acquainted with several men who were members of a club on Long Island known the world over for its super layout. Well these friends kept telling this man from the easy course what wonder- ful matches they had, how they en- joyed the game, and how it was only possible to enjoy the game where real golf could be had. In a moment of enthusiasm he al- lowed his friends to put his name up for membership and in due time he was elected. It so happened that he had never played the course until after he joined the club and the day selected for a round happen- ed to be when the wind was thresh- ing from the sea forty knots an hour Not being a long hitter he naturally had his troubles, and of course, the extra wind hazard capped the cll- max. Anyhow, he played just three holes and walked back to the clubhouse where he promptly hand- ed in His resignation.

In other words he knew his capabilities and preferred to play accurately rather than con- tinue in a, futile attempt to ape the “champs. Here's another story which shows which way the wind blows, as far as the public is concerned with steel golf shaft.

The other day somebody in the crowd of golfers standing around ad- miring the fvory headed driver sald: “Why, the steel shaft?” The golf authority looked aghast. His reply was short and snappy. “Steel shaft, you ask? Man alive, OSTEOPATHY Phone 1125R Over Frantz Shop squad at Columbia University which it certainly surprises me to hear you say that.

STARS OF HORSESHOE SPORT EADY TO FLNG CLEVELAND, Sept. 19.—The fourth annual tournament under the auspices of the Natfonal Horseshoe Pitchers’ association opens here to- day with representatives from 24 states, including all of the game's celebrities, participating, According to John H. Gourley of the Cleveland Recreation council, it will be the largest in the history of the sport. At least 200 will compete in the men’s tournament alone, Mr. Gour- ley predicted. In addition to the men’s tournament, there will be a tournament for women and one for boys under 15. Probably the most conspicuous player in the tourney w!!l be Harold Falor, a 15-year-old Akron boy whe won the national championship at St, Petersburg, Fla., last winter Mrs. J. F. Francisco of Muskegon, Mich., is the holder of the women's title. 82,228 FANS AT BIG FIGHT, FINAL REPORT NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—The total paid attendance at the Jack Demp sey-Luis Firpo heavyweight cham- pionship battle at the Polo Grounds last Friday night amounted to 82, 8, a new high record it was an- nounced Tuesday by Promoter Tex Rickard.
