FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 1924. YANKS BURIED UNDER SCORE OF LATE RALLY Shigging Match Held in Opening Series At New York. (By The Associated Press.) The Washington Senators are on top at last, leading their league a half game to the fore of the Yankees, who dropped to second place, going down to defeat in the first game of the series with the Harris outfit, 11 to 6, With the Yankees leading, 6 to 3, at the beginning of cighth inning, victory seemed assured for the Yanks. And then two Washington batters hit safely. Peckinpaugh, next man up, Grounded ott and one Washington run seored, Pinch hit- ter Leibold walked. McNeely smaked one to right, filling the bases. Harris slammed one at Dugan, who fum- bled, and another run scored. Lelbold was forced at the plate. At this point It looked brighter for the Yanks but only for a moment, for Goslin, the next man up, lifted one to Witt that Whitey lost in the sun, three runs scoring. Judge, Bluege, Ruel and Peckinpaugh allh’t safely in order and three more Washington runners crossed the pan. Lefbold made the final out. Babe Ruth hit two homers In the game and passed his 1923 home run record. Detroit remained * {dle in ‘third place but gained a half game on the Yanks in second place three games away, The Red Sox scored a double vie- tory over the Athletics in Boston, winning the first game, 6-3, and the second, 8-7. Chicago and Cleveland broke even in their double header, the Indians winning the first, 7 to 0, losing the second 7 to 6, - ~ Pittsburgh dropped another half notch in the older organization when the Reds knocked Cooper out of the box and won, 5 to 4. The Pirates are now five games tolthe rear of the Giants who were not scheduled to play! yesterday, Brooklyn in third place rested and gained a halt game on the Pittsburgh crew thereby and are now two games behind the Pir- ates and seven games back of New York. Cubs took two games from the Cards, winning the opener, 5 to 2, and the finisher, 8 to 3, Rogers Hornsby, leading batter of the ma- got four hits in seven times , thereby increasing his sea- average.

The Giants are sitting compara- tively pretty in the percentage col- umn, are thru visiting the west and. will do most of ther batting from now on fn the home Jot. kees at home for their last gamé of the season on September 7. There ts they win the pennant. Should they fall, the con¢trste stadium will close {ts stadium earlier than a New York Stadium has closed tn many years, Literally it throws the team on the road for the last three weeks of the Season, Which is not too good for a championship contender. The Yanks last game is on September 30 ax Philadelphia. There they are likely to disband if the fates read them out of their flag, " The Giants have ten more games on the parks of _ their neighbors. Their very last away from home is at Brooklyn, but that isn’t muh of After ber 29 against P: jelphia. Of the ten games that :2main to be played gway from the Polo ‘Grounds, fivé are in Boston and the. remainder in Brvoklyn and Phila- delphia. That is hardly what could be called @ steel wall defense for Pittsburgh, yet it is. possible that one of these teams will break away from its lethargy and give the Giants a fatal trouncing. . The big shindy of the Yanks, when they have finished their Washington serles, will confront them in the west, where they will have to play St. Louis,’ Detroit and Cleveland to Chicago but the Sox are so bady raveled out at the heel that they are not much to be feared, But the Yanks will get no quarter in St. Louis, which occasionally plays a whale of a game. And if Detroit is still In the running by the time the Yanks arrive in the Auto City, that Series should provide the fire works of the latse season. That over, for better or for worse, the Yankees still must face the sealping knives of the Indians. HELEN WILLS: HAS> FOR PUBLIC FAVOR IN THE MAKING ON CORST By WALTER CAMP (Copyright 1924 The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Auc#29.—Her skiN, her gameness, and cbove all, never-failing sportsmanship, made of little Miss Poker sometimes known as Helen one of the most popular champions America has ever The grip she has obtained tennis public in her relatively brief career was strikingly evidenced at Longwood. With all its chivalry of sportsmanship, the crowd at Long- wood could not help showing that it wanted Miss Wills and Vinnie Richards to win those mixed dou- bles. And when, after losing the first set to the Tilden-Mallory com- bination, the pair came back and won the two straight sets necessary for the title, everyone wanted to get down out of the stands and pat Miss ‘Wills on the back, or do something equally demonstrative. Another young woman tennis Player who, like Miss Wills, halls from California, has captured the fancy of eastern followers of the sport. She is 15-year-old Helen Ja- cobs, who went through the Long- wood tournament, only to be beaten by Miss Goss in the finals. Miss Jaccbs has a real tennis fu- ture before hor. She has the stro! ing ability and even playing upon turf courts, with which she is un- familiar, she made a fine showing. In another year she will threaten most of our women players. But she seeme to have difficulty with her breath at times, which is ex- traordinary in a schocl girl of her years and strength. ith kin? with your s If have ecrema, ringworm or sim- flar itching, burning, ei treet | skin-eruption, try Resinol Ointment ai Resinol Soap and seé how quickly the itching stops and the trouble disappe: PE yrange peptone been ty Evy 8 4 a DoF eamepe Resinel, Baltimore, Be makes sick skims well TRIBUNE’S P IVE Gor “ro Go DOWN TOLN YomoRRow @ND GET FITTED FOR @ NEW Solr Leagues Chicago 6-8; St. Louis 2-3. hias 1-9; Boston 0-2.

FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) ARTICLE THREE NEW YORK, Aug. 29.—(United Press)—When Mile. Suzanne Len- glen suddenly defaulted during the British championships at Wimbledon and allowed her world's champion- ship title to pass on to Miss Kath- leen McKane without a struggle she returned to France. Her action in quitting during the Wimbledon tournament on the claim of physical incapacity disturbed her fellow countrymen. France had made a very poor showing In the early events of the Olympic games. Des- pair almost selzed the Frenchmen when their great rugby team was beaten in the final match by the American team. Thef were ready to admit that they didn’t have a chance for a rowing, swimming, boxing or track end field championship and their only hope to save the French flag raised at least once during the games, rested upon Suzanne. She, they thought, was sure of one first place in the women’s singles. Miss Helen Wills, the big American threat, had been beaten in London by Miss Kathlene McKane, the British girl, who had fallen a dozen, times before Suzanne. Even more was expected of Mile, Lenglen. They held the hope that she would help BASEBALL QUESTION BOX If you have some question to ask about baseball— If you want a rule interpreted— If you want to \now anything about a play or a player— Write to John B, Foster, the man who helped make the rules under which the game is played today.

While concern was felt over the reports about her physical condition, there was never a thought that she would not play. Her statements about preparing herself for the Olym ple games breathed such patriotic fervor that they all figured in Paris she would play and that she would be able to beat the best in the tour- nament even if she was not in the best of condition. There were other reasons why her participation in the tournament were of the most vital importance. Before the various side shows of the games had been completed the French c.m- mittee knew that it was going to hold the bag™financlally and that a loss of two million francs on the promotion of the games was impend ing. Thousands of francs had been in- vested in the construction of a ten- nis stadium in the rear of the. big Athletic stadium. The courts were sald to be the best that a ekilied firm of contractors could build. ‘The standa had been pronounced as ideal for the spectators and adequate for the big crowds that were expected té attend. The committee in charge of tennis was rather surprised and dismayed when they heard a barrage of criti- clsm. The stadium was too inacces- sible from the city; it was sald. The uncovered stands were too uncom- fortable during the terrific heat Wave that was gripping the city at the time. There was no shelter for the spectators between matches, ex- eépt the large bar-room tent where even the most cooling of drinks could not counteract the boiling rays of the sun on the canvas, Sanitary conditions were horrible. Looking for gate money first, last, and always, Allon Muhr, the director of the tournament didn't care about the competitors. It has been related how he treated the players. But he was concerned when the tournament got the old ragsberry from the public, Instead of being the means of making up for some of the losses on the other Olymple events, the tennis matches then seemed ready for the role of increasing tho liabilities. The only hope for an even break was that Mile, Lenglen and Miss Wills would get through to the finals, But Mile, Lenglen did not play. The night before the tournament was to open, Suzanne announced that she was not physically able to play, She sald her doctor had told her that shé would endanger her life if she took any exercise or ex erted herself in the terrific heat American newspapermen in Paris, remembering the comment that fol- lowed the resignation of the French girl during her match with Mra. Molla Mallory at Forst Hills several yeurs ago, sliggested that it would not bé a bad idea for Mile. Lenglen to get them a statement from her doctor. This she refused indignantly to do.

Her spokesman said that in the past her word and his word always had been accepted by gentlemen. It was pointed out by the newspapermen that they were not questioning the Yeracity of the French girl, but that they were really trying to protect her from unjust criticism. The suggestion that the news- papermen be allowed to talk to her doctor was likewise taken as an ef- front and the name of the doctor was refused, Hope was not abandoned by the tennis officials and when the draw Was posted on the scoreboard, the day the tournament opened, Mile. Lengien’s name had not been re- moved. In fact, it never was re- moved. Her default was not marked up, and it was only after the tourna: ment had progressed a round that her name did not appear among the survivo ‘ ae SL ae Sal GOLF FANS WILL FIND ENTERTAINMENT AT THE EXPOSITION IN TULSA TULSA, Okla., Aug. 29.—Ol] men who find thelr recreation in golf have found an additional attraction for them at the International Petro- leum Exposition and congress this fall.

The French Lick course, already considered long, on which the P, G. A, championship will be fought Sept. 14 to 20, will be made as long as the tees will permit. This will favor the man of the ‘ong drive and brassie and will make it most difficult for the player who does not get much distance— the player of small hulk who de- pends most. on the accuracy of the short game, Small Men Oppose The smaller men among the pro- fessionals have been against mak- ing the golf links so long. They con- tend it puts too much stress on the long ball as against accuracy of the shot. Cyril Walker who tips the scales at barely 120 pounds won the na- tional open at Oakland Hills in June over a course that was as long as the French Lick links will be, prov- ing that there is more to the win- ning of golf championships than dis- tance. Gene Sarazen, of Briarcliff, N. Y., who finished second to Lee Diegel in the Canadian championship will de- fend his title against 63 other golf stare. The field will contain the best in the country.
