SPORTS. SARAZEN, PRO CHAMPION, | PLAYING AGAINST HAGEN Is Their Fourth Important Meeting, Former Having Won Two of Other Matches—Both Are Im- pressive in Semi-Final Victories. By the Associated Press. P and Gene Sarazen of Briar CI ELHAM MANOR, N. Y., September 29.—Walter Hagen of New York liff Manor, two of the world’s best known golfers, meet today at the Pelham Country Club for the Professional Golfers’ Association championship of 1923. Both have held the title in other years. Hagen wo Hagen did not defend in 1922, n it in 1921 and Sarazen last year. | Hagen has had an easy trip to the finals. He defeated George Griffin, 4 and 3 in the first round, won 10 and 9 from Jack Elphick in the second, eliminated John Goldeén. 4 and 3 in the third, and advanced into semi- finals by defeating Fred McLeod, 5 and 4. He defeated McLean yester- day, 12 and 11. Sarazen has had more of a task. He found a right smart golfer in Lloyd Gulickson of Columbus-during the early part of his first-round match. His second-round engagement was easily won from D. K. White, then he had to do_his best to beat Alex “Nipper” Campbell, the old vet- eran of Cincinnati. Long Jim Bar nes gave him a thirty-six-hole fight Thursday, and he had a sticker yesterday in Robert Cruickshank, whom he defeated, 7 and 5. Sarazen and Hagen have met in three important matches. In a so- called world championship last year Sarazen won. In a tournament at Leeds, England, Hagen won, and in a special match at Asbury Park, N.J., several weeks ago, Sarazen won again. Three Birdies in a Row. Sarazen and Cruickshank' jlayed the first nine of their morning round all even. Then the champion let fly | three birdies in succession starting the second nine. That spurt seemed | to upset Cruickshank, for he lost six holes: in a row and finally finished the morning round 4 down. Sarazen never gave him an opening after that and had little difficulty winning. The cards were as follows: i i Crulcks Sarazen, in Cruickshank, in his morning round against Hagen and | found himself 8 down at noon.

The kicker ordinarily stands eight to twelve yards behind the center. After receiving the ball he quickly adjusts it in_his hands so that the long axis is vertical or tipped islightly to the rear, lacings to the front. He then drops the ball care- fully, so that it will reach the ground in this position. As it touches the ground and starts to. rebound, his kicking toe drives into the lower quarter of the ball and lifts it up and forward. In order to obtain the necessary power, the kicker or- dinarily takes one or two steps for- ward while adjusting the ball in his hands. | (Copyright, 1923.) AMERICAN LEAGUE. IN U. S.

Boston had climbed league to get into the series, comin over the New York Giants. Where Played. Winner. Philadelphia, Oct. 9 Boston Philadelphia, Oct. 10 Boston Boston, Oct. 12 Boston Boston, Oct. 13 Boston The Boston players were George T. Stallings, manager; Schmidt, first | base; Evers, second base; Deal, third base; Maranville, shortstop; Mann, | left fleld, right field; Whitted, center field; Cather, left field; Connolly, left | field; Moran, right fleld; Gowdy, | catcher; James, pitcher; ~Rudolph, pitcher; Tyler, pitcher; Devore and Gilbert, substitutes. The players for Philadelphia were | Connie Mack, manager; McInnis, first | base: Collins, second ' base; Baker, third base; Barry, shortstop; Oldring, left fleld; Strunk, center field; Walsh, | center fleld: Murphy. tight fiel Schang, catcher; Lapp, pitcher; Bender, pitcher; Bush, pitcher; Pennock pitcher; Plank, pitcher: Shawkey, | pitcher, and Wyckoft, pitcher. The Athletics had been picked by | most of the critics as easy victors in | the series. Perhaps their victories over New York in the closing days of | the season had caused them to be over- rated. In any event, their complete inability to stand up against Boston | completely stupefied the . American League, which could not belleve such a thing possible. The Boston club started on the road to victory by batting Chief Bender all over the lot in the first game. Even a double_steal for home plate went through. Schmidt and Gowdy, two of the slowest runners in base ball, pulled it off. The second game was a pitcher's battle, with James on the mound for B. FOSTER.

Philadelphia Philadelphia Philadelphia Philadelphia Boston and Plank for Philadelphia. Boston made the only run of the game in the ninth inning. That run could have been checked if Schang had not thrown to second base behind Deal, who had been caught between second and third. The Athletics were robbed of a chance to score in their half of the ninth when Maranville ptured a hot line drive and made a ouble play. The Athletics got a lead for the first time in the third game, but Boston caught up, and the ninth inning end- ed in a tie. In the tenth Evers made the prize of all world series games, standing on the base line with the ball in his hand and permitting Murphy to go home with the second Tun of the inning. He contributed, however, to the batting rally with which Boston pulled the game out of the fire in their turn at bat. Gowdy started things with a home run. Moran drew a base on balls and Evers sent him to third with a Moran scored on a sacrifice fly and the score was tied again. The eleventh passed scoreless. Bos- ton won in the twelfth, when Moran bunted -and Bush, with two men on base, threw wide to third. The “croocial” game of the season was won by Boston in the fifth in- ning. when Evers hit safely to cen- ter field. driving in two runs. Boston thus obtained a lead which the Ath- letics were unable to overcome. (Copsright, 1923.) Score 7. | 5. o Eq -0 4 (12 innings) How Foot Ball Is Played By SOL METZGE! ES, and a very good reason. The late Mike Murphy learned that when a foot ball player sits down for a rest during a game he loses a bit of his vim and zest for the fray. Probably, the physiological reason is that the body is hot and wet from perspiration and the ground cools such a player too quickly. Or it tay be that once he gives way to a somewhat subcon- THE QUESTION. During many games I've no- ticed that the players of one team lie on the ground when time is out and that the o) posing players stand up. 7; there any reason for this? scious desire to ease up it is rather difficult to jump right into the battle again at top speed. Many a coach has found that this habit of stretching out on the ground when time is called during the game deadens his men. You don’t see good teams doing it, except at rare ‘intervals. In fact, so much so is this, that one of the real inside tricks of foot ball is for a team to take out time when the other is threatening its goal. The attacking team in this case is highly keyed up,”and the two-minute rest frequently kills its drive. We have seen this happen in more games than one. No writer has spoken on thiy subject because he fears to be tread- ing on toes. A clear example of just what a de- lay may’ mean was the Yale-Prince- ton game of the days of Coy. Prince. ton led &t the end of the first half. ‘The Tigers came out for the second all keyed for the fray. Yale's coach purposely held up the play fifteen minutes after it should have started. This long and unexpected wait abso- lutely unnerved the Princeton pla ers and Yale won. The incident w: so flagrant that the rules committee next year adopted a heavy penalty against a team not appering on time to start the second half.

The McGrawmen put on the final touches by defeating Brooklyn, 3 to 0. This year's flag is the third the Giants have hung out in succession and the eleventh they have had altogether since under the direc- tion of Manager McGraw. The Yankees ran around the bases 80 fast and so often that they tired themselves all out, scoring 24 runs to 4 for Boston. Babe Ruth got back into his hard-hitting habit and pound- ed out five hits, including a homer, his thirty-eighth, and a pair of doubles. The Tigers moved a notch nearer to | second place in the American League by defeating ®he Indians, 17 to 3. The Braves took the second straight game from the Phillies, 11 to 7.

UNLIMITED DIAMOND TITLE TO MOHAWKS All is well in southeast today. for the Mohawks, pride of that section, are champions of the unlimited base ball division for the second consecu- tive vear. The Indians downed the General Accounting Office team, 4 to 2, to win the title for 1923. Lem Owen, on the mound for Gen- eral Accounting, was far from good in the first inning, three tallies being scored by the Indians. A triple by Fitzgerald and a four-base clout by Freddy Noone were main factors. Had the fray gone for eight innings the Mohawks would have piled up an additional nine_runs. A double by McCarthy and Fraser, two sacrifice hits and a base on bails, sandwiched in between a series of wallops, were registered by the Indians in their half. At this stage darkness threatened and Umpire Crook called the game, the score reverting to the seventh. ‘Hudson toed the mound for the Mo- hawks, yielding but four bingles. In the fourth session Owen twisted his jeg in an effort to score and was re- lleved by Neidfelt in the sixth. Fitzgerald led at the bat, garnering a pair of blows in four attempts.

BIG SERIES SHOULD DRAW A MILLION-DOLLAR “GATE” Capacity Attendance for a Minimum of Only Two Games Each at the Stadium and Polo Grounds Would Aggregate $820,000. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. A GQLDEN haze today floats before the eyes of the Yankees and the Giants, the latter of whom made the third consecutive all-New York wo.rl_cl series a certainty yesterday by defeating Brooklyn. More than a million dollars, to be divided among players and owners of the New York clubs, the national commission and the runners-up in the races, is early in sight.

At Baltimore: Philadelphia (A).. Baltimore (Int.) W. Oggen and Bruggy; McNeill” TIP FOR FISHERMEN. HARPERS FERRY, W. Va, Sep- tember 20.—The Potomac river was muddy and the Shenandoah was clear this morning. G 3 614 1 512 2 . Ogden and 20 %l park, as has been intimated, the gross opening game. The average receipts per thousand spectators at the Polo Grounds, home of the Giants, probably will be around $3,300. The Polo Grounds has not as many high-priced box seats as the stadium has to bring the average up. A 40,000 crowd there would bring in $132,000 and a packed attendance of about 50,000 would mean $165,000. Four Games the Minimum. At least two games are certain at each park, as the series cannot be decided until one team has won four games. Supposing, which is reasona- ble, that the Yankees have two ca- pacity crowds at the stadium, the 8Toss receipts for just two games would be $490,000. Should the Polo Grounds be equally well patronized the receipts there for two days would be around $§330,000—a total of $820,000. And, as it is practically certain that the series will not be decided in four straight games, 2 million-dollar gate appears to be a reasonable enough estimate. Should the series go the limit the takings probably would be well in excess of a million. ) But, assuming that $820.000 is all that falls into the Yankee-Giant cof- fers, the tidy sum of $123.000 would first be deducted for the national commission. That will pay Kenesaw i Mountain Landis' $50,000 salary very handil; 5 From the remaining $697.000, 60 Der cent, or $418,200, would go to the players. That compares quite favo ably* with the $247,309.71 which the 8ot last year. | Council May Get $200,000. | ,,As the plavers participate only in the profits of the first four games, the $418,200 figure represents about all they” would get under_ any cir- cumstances, though record attend- ance at these games might push the total up to $460,000. Whatever comes in after that goes to the ciub owners and the advisory council. The total accruing to the council in 1922 was $72,73815. It is possible that the council's share may reach $200,000 this year if the serfes is prolonged This seems like a Iot of money to spend regulating a game which ought to_regulate itself. | Ina vague way the public' realizes the magnitude of the sum at stake in the coming series, and louder then ever have been the complaints about {the prices charged. But there is one consolation. With the greatly increased ating capacity, there probably will be much less ticket speculating than formerly. (Copyright, 1923.) WILL NOT SWAP HORNSBY, BREADON AGAIN ASSERTS ST. LOUIS, September 29.—Sam Breadon, president of the St. Louis Nationals, has reiterated that Rogers Hornsby = “positively will not be traded.
