Worst Showing in Intersectional Clashes. 5 BY DENMAN THOMPSON. HE Nationals did no better and no worse than was éxpected on T their final swing through the west, which ended yesterday with a 3-2 setback in Cleveland, judged by their two previous invasions of that section, when they first won seven and lost nine and then took five and dropped sixteen. In the jaunt just completed they copped five con- tests and dropped seven, which put them on a par with the White Sox. Only the Mackmen made a poorer record, the tailenders winning only two games and losing eight. The Red Sox made the best showing, with eight victories and four defeats, Cleveland being next, with seven and four, followed by St. Louis, eight and five; New York, seven and six, and Detroit, six and six.

Hit Nets Two Runs. Only one hit figured in the pair of runs registered off Coveleskie in the opener. Bush worried a walk out of the Pole, advanced on Milan's sacri- fice and scored on a triple to left cen- ter by Judge. who also tallied on ‘Rice’s short fly to left, Jamieson’s peg being a httle wide. Miller followed with a safety through Gardner, but was flagged stealing. Three solid smashes off Mogridge enabled the Indians to knot the count in their half. One gone, Wamby poked to left, took third on Speaker's smash against the screen for two bases and tallied with Spoke when Wood dupli- cated the managerial wallop. Gardner and Sewell left-“Smokey Joe” roosting on_second. Following the first inning singlds by Speaker and Sewell in the third and fourth, respectively, constituted the Tribal yield off Mogridge till the sixth, when Wood lofted one into the left-field bleachers—the third time this feat has been performed in the two years the stand has existed—for the tally that decided the issue. Gard- ner followed with a rap that took a bad hop over Bush’s head and was sacrificed to second by Sewell. Then Mogridge fanned Burns, and after O'Neill was purposely passed Cove- leskie flied to Rice. Speaker dropped a Texas leaguer in back of Harris with two down in the seventh and raced to third ahead of Miller's throw on Wood's single to left, but Bush cut off the baH, and with a peg to Harris nipped Wood sliding into the midway. Shanks and Gharrity singled to no purpose in the second, and, following a two-bagger in the third by Judge, ‘who was doubled up when Rice lined to Burns, the Griffs were retired in order until the eighth, when Gharrity | l —e ed only twice, and both time by Washington players, Bobby Roth pulling the stunt last year and Ed- mund Miller this season. Of the three Bing's swat was by far the lustiest. So many fans turned out for the bat- tle that ropes had to be stretched on the fleld to accommodate them. It was the last Sunday game of the season in Cleveland and marked the first over- flow throng since the Yankees played a Sabbath contest there last July. The paid attendance was more than 20,000 and topped off crowds of 12,000 Satur- day and 7,000 Friday. O'Neill made a claim of Interference against Miller similar to that he lodged against Shortstop Peckinpaugh of the Yankees in the game which the Cleve- land club I a protest and was overruled. Miller remained in the bat- ter’s box after popping in his effort to bunt, but he did not know but that the ball would be foul and is a slow starter, anyhow, 8o it was very clear no inten- tional interference was involved. President Dunn of the Indians is re- ported to have gone to Chicago to per- sonally protest to Ban Johnson against the refusal of the league executive to overrule the decision of Umpire Mori- arty in the Yankee contest which the Hugmen won, 3-2. Dunn has no chance of carrying his point, assuch plays de- pend entirely on the judgment of the umpire and Johnson’s original ruling was based on the umpire’s version of the incident.

Make Bid in Ninth. In the ninth the Nationals made a determined bid and but for bad luck on an odd play might have registered at least one run, to tie the score, with a possibility of doing even better. Judge drew a pass at the outset and took second on a single to center by Rice. Miller, who cannot bunt, was ordered to make the attempt. It re- sulted In a pop fly immediately in front of the plate. Burns, who was charging in, con- trived to get his hands on the ball be- fore it struck the ground, but collid- ing with O'Neill, who also sought to make the catch, dropped it. The ball being concealed from the view of Judge, he thought it had been caught, and galloped back to second, where \Rice had arrived. Burns recovered the sphere and sprinted out to sec- ond, where he effected a force-out by tagging Judge, who occupied the sack jointly with Rice. This left Sam on the midway and Miller on first. Harris then popped foul to Burns, and Shanks sent a roller to Wamby and wgs- retired, but on which Judge "{.fi‘ have scored had he been on thir CAUGHT ON THE FLY McBride has made another switch in his batting order, shuffling up the first four men. Bush may be a fix- ture in the lead-off position, which he held with the Tygers for more than a decade. Judge says he doesn’t feel natural hitting anywhere else, but his record as a third-place stjcksmith belies this. Schacht and Altréck both appeared in_ costume for their fun-making prior to the game yesterday, Nick garbed as Buster Brown. eir Apache dance went big with the crowd. Ollie Chill's work back of the plate elicited a lot of criticism from the players. He called Judge out on a third strike in the sixth which was at least a foot wide, and one of his guesses with Coveleskie at bat in the same round caused Mogridge to walk in and give the umps an earful of pointed remarks. — - Wood’s clout into the left field bleachers in the sixth has been equal- : 4] i R B!

I are in force at the leading foot ball country. It means, of course, that varsity at Tech. This is the one thi stitution the place she should hold. It has been claimed that @ rule of the sort at smaller colleges works in- justice inabmuch as the limited num- ber of men available for foot ball renders the playing of first-year men almost a necessity. Probably this is true, but there is no question that the system makes for practices that would not stand the light of day. Furnishes His Material. For example, in a college not difficult of access from any point in Pennsyl- vania a new coach was engaged. is said that among the stipulations in his contract was that he should bring some material with him. The report is that he brought six good foot ball players from the college where he had last coached.

August 29.—Many youthful wonders, representing every section of the country, have been developed this year in American fields of sport. The names of Alexa Stirling and Robert T. “Bobby” Jones, the golf marvels of Atlanta, .and Vincent Richards, the New York tennis star, have been on the lips of sport lovers for several seasons. To this select group there has been added this year: Miss Helen Wills,fifteen years old, of Berkeley, Calif., winner of the na- ‘tional girls singles tennis cham- pionship. Julius Saglowsky. fifteen years old, of Indianapolls, winner of the na- tional boys’ singles tennis champion- ship. .

NEW YORK, Atigust 25.—The wom- en’s national long-distance swimming championship, after a lapse of almost five years, is to be renewed today over a three-and-a-half-mile course from Point Breeze, Long Island, to Brighton Beach. Eight of the foremost woman aquatic stars of the country are en- tered in the event. OLLOWERS of the gridiron game will be interested in the an- noungement that this year Georgia Tech will apply the one-year rule for intercollegiate athletes, thereby meeting conditions that playing institutions throughout the freshmen will be ineligible for the ng required to give the Atlanta in- clear that if these men are played this season—and there is no rule to prevent them—that an unfair ad- vantage will be taken over rival col- leges whose athletic authorities have not stooped to methods of the sort. Southerners living in New York and vicinity will have an opportunity of seeing a ranking team from Dixie in action on October 29, when the Golden Tornado meets Penn’ State at the Polo Grounds. Penn State has lost a num- ber of strong men and Hugo Bezdek for the first time since coming there will have to develop a team purely upon his own resources. Dick Harlow ;illl( be an invaluable assistant in this sk. As for Tech, she will have to depend on the men remaining from last year’s eleven and recruits from the 1920 scrub outfit. Some blazing stars will be missing, such as Buck Flow- ers, Fincher, the great tackle, and Ratterman. ~ But Harlan, Barron, Ferst, Scarboro and McDonough in § the backfield, and A. Staton, J. Sta- ton, Labey, Amis, Davis and John- son in the line, all players well above average ability remain. It is certain that several fine backfield players and forwards will be developed from the scrubs. William A. Alexander, the coach, says that the eleven will be heavier, than the 1920 outfit, but not so fast’ In the way of kicking, both punting and drop kicking. he has no plaver who can class with Flowers. He e: pects a great deal of the fresh: n eleven and an attractive schedule of games has been arranged. Need Amateur Polo Rules. The fact that a man engaged in pro- fessional pursuits in connection with the game of polo—that is, selling ponies, conducting polo at hunt clubs, etc—played on the Whippany River team which won the Meadow Brook cup on Long Island last week, excites no interest among American Polo As- sociation authorities. This is because there is no association rule prohibit- ing the playing of professionals on club teams. _ None the less, polo is now develop- ing in thfs country to an extent where rules of amateurism should be oh- served as in any amateur sport, and it would be well were the polo asso- ciation to recognize this fact and take action accordingly There has been some talk among members of the Unfed Tennis Asso- ciation against prominent players writing -of the game under their names. The association has enforced a rule that pliyers may not profit by their position as stars to make money in various ways, but apparently this does not apply to capitalizing their prestige with pen, typewriter or as constructive amanuenses. It is mot forgotten that McLoughlin and Bundy had to shut up their sporting goods shop on the west coast. CHAS. E. MILLER, Inc. Formerly Miller Bros."
