Kiss Collett was carried to the eifhteenth hole to win her match, nscr being behind most of the way 1 taking the lead for the first time o seventeenth. Both she wd Miss Cummings were palpably rattled to start the match, each driv- ing wild and off the course. Several . times in_the first few holes Mise Col- lett had the worst of this mutual epidemic of nerves and fidgets, on the first hole hitting trees three times to Ye farther from the green on each Shot, and found herself falling behind Fapidly; going in the thick bushes on the second, she became 2 down. Then fter evening things up she beg: osing again until she became 3 down at_the eighth. From there on_ it was different.-The Providence star proceeded to play one under par for the next four holes to gain back her lost ground. The rest of the way she was unbeatable, never in trouble, never off the course, knocking out tremendous _drives, averaging 220 yards stralght down the fairway, approaching nicely, and pu‘ting 8 and 10 footers with appar- y on the ent ease, finishing off by playing the last threc holes in one under par. Miss Cummings was playing a beau- iful game, approaching even more eadly usually than her opponent, but he slipped here and there just a lit- le, and these slight wanderings from couracy cost her the match. Mrs. Gavin Not Extended. Mrs. Gavin had little trouble winning rst four holes in part to become 3 p and from there on she held the lead, ncreasing it to 4 at the turn and ontinuing with this advantage to the ixteenth, where Mrs. Jackson drove wice Into the lake and conceded the atch, Mrs. Gavin admitted that she had mever played quite so consistently good & game in her life. She did not have to extend herself to win and everything seemed to go Jjust right. She is not Xknown as a very long driver, depending more on accuracy, but sterday she was hitting a long ball, usually over 200 yards, and she galned in distance so much on the homeward trip that it corn- fused her and several times she played her second with the wrong club, landing beyond the green. Gets AIl of the Gallery. ‘The gallery concentrated on the ummings-Collett match so com- letely that the only spectators at he Gavin-Jackson affair consisted of james E. Standish, J. Frederic Byers, nited States Golf Association offi- jals, who were geferceing, and_the wo caddies. This was what Mrs. avin likes, for a big mob around ieems to get her just a wée bit ervous. However, in the finals today she will not have the same clubby little game, for all the persons who stayed past the season here—all the waiters, porters, bell-hops, most of the vi lagers and a fair representation of the moonshiners from the nearby ‘West Virginia mountains—were wait ing at the first tee at an early hour to start off with the two rivals. Whether or not htis will effect Mrs. Gavin's_superb game remains to be seen. She said that she felt the gal- lery watching her match with Alexa Stirling Thursday had been decidedly antagonistic, and unfairly se, to her, but that it only made her play the better.

She ‘was twice before in the finals, in the national. only to be beaten in 1915 by Mrs Vanderbeck and by Miss Stirling In 1919.

However, the ovidence girl has never seemed the slightest disturbed by her. big matches, when closely pressed.

N the records of today—both those that show on the score shec's O and those that only show on pretty evenly matched in the series. Take leit field for_instance, Ruth and Emil Meusel are about on a par. For industrious effort Ruth possibly is to be more commended than Meusel, but things haven’t broken just right for Ruth this year, and the problem before him is whether he can rise out of the haze in which he has been floating to the clear sky. His flelding in the series in 1921 was good on the whole. He threw better than Meusel and he ran better than Meusel. He did not bat quite as well as Meusel, but in connection with that it must not be forgotten that he was handicapped with an alling arm. He was more of a cheer leader to his team than Meusel, but he is that all of the season if his digestion Is right. Elther Likely to Fall Down. Either of these players is likely to fall down on a play after a long run, but Ruth is dangerous on any long run where he crosses the fleld. He is a better player laterally than he is in and out. s In center fleld there are two strangers. Witt plays for the Yankees | and Stengel for the Glants. Without a moment’s hesitation the award of superiority can be ascribed to Stengel. No matter how long he m have played base ball it is a fact that he is one of the best outfielders in the game today up to every limit of his physical possibilities. He may be a little older than he was, but it does not seem to have hurt his bat- ting eye, especially as he is having the time of his life batting against weak pitching. As a flelder he has long ranked as one of the leading players of the | game when it comes to playing for batters. The great trouble with Stengel was that his merit was over- looked too often in the past. He will try until his legs give out under- neath him. Witt is a fair ball player, but he is not a great one. He is not likely to_be because he is too far along. Cunningham, who will play when Stengel does not, is about of the type of Witt, possibly not quite so £00d because he lacks experience. In right Young is better than Bob Meusel. The latter has no end of physical ability to play the outfield and a throwing arm that is as deadly as that of Kelly, the Giants' first baseman. Young is faster than Meusel and more likely to make sen- ational catches because he plays the ball better. There has been much stress laid on the fact that the Giants' outfleld has batted better than that of the Yankees this year. Admitting that to be true it 1s not good policy to keep awake nighs and gloat over it. The Giants haven't seen as good pitching as the Yankees have seen.

Inability of the Yankees for the second straight day to hit the offer- ings of a former teammate—this time Jack Quinn—cost them another re- verse yesterday at the hands of the Red Sox, 1 to 0, and a chance to clinch the championship. The Browns, meanwhile, clung to the possibility that they may tie the leaders and thus necessitate a play-off series by defeating the Chicago White Sox, 3 to 2. Although favored by all odds to emerge the victors, the Yankees have caused something bordering on ap- prehension among their followers by a sudden slump in hitting, with the pennant goal in sight. In the last three games—one with Cleveland and two with Boston—the team has scored but one run and collected four- teen hits off George Uhle, Rip Collins and Quinn. All three defeats were chalked up against the club's twirling saces, Shawkey and Bush. The former held Cleveland to three runs and Boston to one tally vesterdav, but was blanked both times, while Bush lost a 3-1 verdict Thursday. Giant followers, meanwhile, werc concerned over reports that Frank Frisch and Dave Bancroft. infield bulwarks, sustained sprained ankles in an exhibition game in Baltimore. Neither mishap, however, was said to be serlous. Cincinnati, although idle, was practically assured of at least third place in thre league when Osborne of Chicago_blanked St. Louis 3 to 0, al- lowing but two hits.

One bit of clinching was done When Washin ton flopped twice to the Athletl it clinched seventh place for the Ath- letics. This vear will be the first since 1914 that the Macks haven't been companions of the gas meter, electric washer and furnace in the cellar. Only one more victory was needed, but the A's rubbed it in and won both. Erickson's surprising letdown in the twelfth inning of the first game lost the first for the Griffs. Olaf, who hadn't been scored on since the sixth, was traveling strong in extra innings. In the twelfth inning, with the score a tle, Lapan, the juvenile maskman, was first to face Ed Rommel, who was rushed into the game at this stage because an inning earlier a pinchman had batted for Ogden. Lapan proved he was not afraid of the pitching ace by slapping a homer into the bleachers. putting the Griffs one run to the good. It looked easy when the sides changed for Erickson. He retired the first man, and then Hauser smashed a single. So did Bing Miller. Up came Galloway, who drove the ball far over Rice’s head to the fence for three bases, breaking up the game. That was a tough one to lose. Incidentally, although only on the tee about three minutes, Rommel w: credited with the victory, which boosted his budget of triumphs to twenty-six wing This emabled him 1o pass Joe Bush and give him leader- ship of the league in games won. In the second game Brillheart was in Jess than three innings after the Macks had scored six runs. Turk, a Philadeiphia boy, finished, and quickly stobped the hitting. He made a big impression, and he is going to receive a thorough trial from Milan. ckinpaugh Mesars. Pe: and Judge ihanded it hot to Umpire Owens when he appeared on the fleld. They did not realize they had lost their two- baggers in the outlawed section of the seventh Thursday until they read the papers. Owens thought the hits would count, or else he would have let the Macks have_their bats. Umpires hould not call games on account of kness in unevez innings unless re is no possible chance of con- n t tinuing. MeNamara played both gam right field. In the first game he hi single out of five trieg, and in the sec- in lond two singles out of four times at bat. He also defended his field com- petently. Lapan, who was behind the bat in the first game, was a vast improve- ment over Thursday. He handled the Washington pitchers with smoothness and judgment and had a pass and a home run at the bat. Curly Ogden pitched _excellently and the fans hissed Mack when he sent Welch to bat for him. When Rom- mel went o the tee in the twelfth and Lapan hit him for a homer, the first hit made by Washington since the sixth round, the hisses for Mack changed to noisy clamor. Gharrity always is an able and de- pendable sharpshooter at Shibe Park. He socked Hasty for a double and a homer. McNamara also had two hits in this round. Bush again finished at the keystone for Stan Harris in the second game. TYGER-fED SOX DEAL IS DENIED IN BOSTON BOSTON, September 30.—Larry Gra- ber, secretary of the Boston Red Sox. has denied that any deal was pending with the Detroit Tygers, and was mphatic in his denial that Derrill Pratt, captain of the Red Sox, and Warren “Rip” Collins, pitcher, would z0 to the Tygers by the trade roule. He said, however, that the Detroit management had been angling for Pitcher Collins. DETROIT, Mich., September 30.— Frank J.
