By JAY VESSELS (A. P. Sports Writer) CHICAGO, Aug. 12.—Those color- | ful Cube -withe go down fighting up the same way. Factors in every pennant race since Joe McCarty, the King Chin crowned, the Chicago outfit | ha that old determination and fighting instinct so essential to a club, with champicnship aspira- tions. Character analyists who empha- size the importance of a good, strong chin in the facial makeup might use the Cubs as models. For, it's hard to find a major league club with better chins an¢ there aren't many clubs which have made a more consistent and de- termined fight for leadership than the Chicago team. Grade-A chins and they come 00 0000000000000 0000000000000 That chin of McCarthy’s is one of the prize physiognomical pro- tuberances of baseball. It has few equals on the diamond. And its wearer has few equals as a fighter. McCarthy has enough chin to help out in Cub quarters where there is a deficiency. He also has enough fight to go around. Out in front of the players’ unit of the Cubs Chin club are Hornsby, Grimm, Wilson, Root and Stephen- son. There can’ be isn't a chin in the lot that spared if the Bruins are to win the flag they have been battling for so strenuously. Hornsby is lining up to expecta- tions as the needed unit in a pen- nant winning combination. ‘Wilson, with his home run pro- pensities, is absolutely indispen- sable to the team, as are also Riggs Stephenson, the swatting fly-chas- er; Charley Grimm, the ace-high first baseman, and Charley Root, | the pitching mainstay. — o CHICAGO HOUSETOPS MAY BECOME GARDENS! CHICAGO, Aug. 12—R. J. Mor- fa’s apartment overlooked a dreary group of unsightly graveled roofs. “Why not a garden on that one .next door?” asked Mrs. Morfa and | the owner acquiesced. 1 A landscape artist put a tclmtnm[ in the center and a rim of rocks(i. vears ago, June 8, 1909, Clarence | Detroit around the edge.

A home run smash by English in the |sixth frame, driving a run in ahead of him, put the game in the Vets’ | ice-box. ! Both McLaughlin and Koski pitched good games, the former get- 1ting almost errorless support while ! bobbles back of the EIks' heaver | were rather frequent. It was the |last game of the year for the Bills. | Vets Take Lead | The Vets took the lead by scor- iing one run in each the first and | second frames and were never |headed. The FElks scored one in ithe fourth. The count stood that way at the beginning of the sixth !when the Vets scored three more. The Bills cashed in two in the seventh and the Vets their final score in the eighth. Ramsey fanned for the first hand down in the Vets' half of the first. Burda singled and went to third on Standard's single. The latter failed to touch first and was called out. Reeves grounded to short and Mac' made an error, allowing Burda to cross the plate with the first run. Koski fanned Greber and Reeves to open the second. McLaughlin went around to third when his smash got away from Osborne in ’rlzhL Lowe missed Ramsey's ground hit and Denny scored. With one down in the fourth Shaw singled and took second on a passed ball. He scored on Kos- ki's single to right. Then came the Vets' big frame. Reeves popped out to Fritz Schmitz. Heinke singled to center, and went to second on a wild pitch. Big Mac' threw out Manning. Greber singled scoring Helnke. Greber took second on a passed ball and third on a wild pitch. English hit for the circuit, scoring Greber ahead of him. Lowe threw Mc- Laughlin out at first. Osborne walked to open the Elks' half of the seventh. Koski fanned. Nelson walked. Denny overthrew first trying to nab Sammy and both runners advanced a notch. Blake singled to right scoring Koski and Sammy. MacSpadden popped out to Burda and Fritz Schmidt did the same thing to McLaughlin. Reeves went through to second on Brodie’s error in the eighth. He went to third on a passed ball and cantered home on a wild pitch for |the Vets’ last score. Box Score and Summary ELKS— Blake, ¢ McSpad'n, s ... Schmitz, F., 2b Brown, 1b .

Umpire—Barragar. Scorer—Coughlin, ' NEW YORK, Aug. 12—The pen- dulum of world tennis interest now swings to this side of the Atlantic with the close of the principal for- eign engagements in which the French again demonstrated their right to rule the world. In the three super-attractions ot the European tennis season the French tri-color was carried to vic- tory through the individual bril- liance of a triumvirate composed of Rene LaCoste, Henri Cochet and Jean Borotra. But with all, there is a real basis for elation in the United States, even conceding to France the title of world champions. The close of the foreign season finds Helen Wills just as secure as last year in her position as the greatest feminine tennis star in the world, as well as establishing very definitely that America also is the home of the greatest male doubles team of the current season. By, their success at Wimbledon and in the Davis Cup challenge round, John Van Ryn and Wilmer Allison, have become favorites to complete their demonstration world supremacy by winning the Amerjcan doubles title this Septem- ber. 3 That tournament, together with the” national singles tournament, both*men and women, the former involving both German and Eng- lish stars, and the battle between American and —citish women's teams$ for the Wightman cup, are| the forthcoming events on which the eyes of the tennis world ncw are chused CRUISER RACE T0 JUNEAU IS IN MOTOR BOAT Other Alaska Features in August Number — Story by Haines of Pacific Motor Boat mazagine for August, now available on local newsstands, carries a number of features of more than usual interest to Alaskans. The complete story of the recent Alaska Cruiser Race from Olympia to Juneau, will in-| terest local motorboat men the most perhaps, as many illustrations of familiar Alaskan scenery and the cruisers with their crews, accom- comomM~oONON pany the articte. This story is the leading one of the issue and the Alaska motif is carried out on the cover which depicts an artist’s congeption of the cruisers on the way, & totem pole in the foreground and & towering and snow-capped peak/in the background. The frontispiece of the issue shows the trim little cruiser Kitti- wake, of Olympia, owned and skip- pered by Walter Draham of the Olympia Yacht Club, voyaging through Wrangell Narro Aside from the race article, there are several other items which touch on Alaska. R. L. Haines, former- ly of Juneau, who recently failed to make a 50-start-to-finish-hours trip By outboard boat from Juneau | |INTEREST IN TENNIS NOW CENTERS IN U. S. to Seattle, tells his personal version of his experience in graphic style in a short feature entitled “I Lost —To Queen Charlotte,” the story climaxing when Haines and his boat | are overturned in huge swells near Cape Caution in Queen Charlotte Sound. A tunnel stern boat, the “Yukon Rose,” built at Vancouver, B. C., has been completed and sent north to Skagway, Alaska, for shipment by the White Pass and Yukon Rail- way for use by Taylor and Drury's stores on the Yukon River and its tributaries. An illustration depicts the unusual character of the craft. In the boat designs department there is the 125-foot freight boat Aleutian Native, which is now un- dergoing the finishing touches of her conversion at the Lake Union Dry Dock and Machine Works at Seattle, from alteration designs by | H. C. Hanson, Seattle naval archi- tect. The Aleutian Native will be used in cargo-carrying work to the Kanaga Ranching Company's prop- erties in the Aleutian Islands. Two 200-horsepower modern Diesel en- gines will drive the ship 9 knots, ac- cording to her designer. The vesscl will go into commission at Seattle on August 15 or thereabouts. J. C. Bowles ,Seattle wholesale plumbing fixtures merchant, an- nounced that he will take his new 65-foot express cruiser Marilyn to Southeast Alaska, the entourage including Juneau, following its completion at a Seattle yard. The design of this craft by L. E. Geary, appears in the issue. The cruiser “Anona” of Ketchi- kan, owned by George M. Bryan of that city, is illustrated .in the trade section of the magazine. cUns We are now reaay to alier or make up your furs.
