So far, 17 of beyond the regulation nine innings—practi That's forcing the athlctes cngagements HOSE who follow the profession of base ball as members of the League/certainly have been working vear. The 1925 championship cam- fast becoming notable for its many the 213 games played have extended ?y 8 per cent of the season’s 0 sweat for their steaks and automobiles, but the fans around the league are getting a great kick out of it No time was lost in starting t hese hectic struggles. The Athletics and Red Sox staged a prolonged duel in Philadelphia the day the pennant campaign opened. Since then, all Washington and St. Louis have been scraps. 1i these overtime games are produced, in years to come the men of the profe: this season as the most arduous in th The Nationals have been more for tunate than plavers of other clubs in the matter of toiling beyond the usual nine rounds. Washington’s team has been in only two extra-inning engage- ments, both on foreign flelds. It went | through 12 innings at Chicago on May 10 and through a of rounds at New York on June 3. Perhaps it is just as well that the Nationals have not been compelled to 50 into more overtime tilts. They lost to the White Sox and the Yankees. The Yanks, by the way, have been | the busy b in the long-game league. Six times so far they have gone beyond the customary limit and | even though they hold no command- ing place in the standing of the clubs they have done right well in these sruelling struggles. In addition to disposing of the Nationals, the Hug- men took the measure of the Browns and Indians in 10-inning encounters All of the Yankees' overtime victorles were scored in the Gotham stadium. Eddie Collins'’ rejuvenated White Sox have been setting the pace for rival clubs in battling to victory after the ninth inning. Four times they have had to do extra work in Comiskey Park and three times they have left the field with the long end of the score in their favor. The Na- tionals were the first victims of the White Sox in a prolonged game. Fol lowing their 12-inning triumph over the world champions, Collins’ men nosed out the Yankees in 10 innings and the Mackmen in 14. Then their streak was ended by the Tygers, who clawed their way to success in the tenth. That win over Chicago is the only one the Tygers have registered in an extra-inning game this season and they have participated in five. The Indians have been particularly bad medicine for the Cobbmen in engage- ments of this character. Three times the teams have fought past round 9, with Speaker's bunch finishing in front each time. Tyger-Tribe Game Longest. The Tribé took a 15-frame match in Detroit April 20 that stands as the longest game of the present American League season. In Cleve land on May 1 it downed the Tygers, 8 to 7, in 10 innings and the next day the same score in 11 innings. A couple of days before the Cleveland series, the Tygers dropped a 10-round .game to the Browns. Cleveland has not been able to out- last any club but Detroit in over-| . however. The Indians were | trounced by the Browns in 10 innings at Dunn Field on April 22, and bowed to the Yankees just last Wednesday. | ‘Athletics and Red Sox have been staging a merry duel, having met in three extra-inning affairs. The A’'s have triumphed twice, once in 11 in- . nings and the other time in 10. The Red Sox gave Boston fans a good treat on April 25, though, by taking the measure of the league leaders in 11 _rounds. 2 The Red Sox also trimmed the Yankees in a battle that lasted a doz- en innings, while the Athletics have broken even in a couple of 14-inning mixups. The White Sox got the bet- fer of the Macks in Chicago, but the latter beat the Yanks in the four- teenth in Philly on the afternoon of Memorial day. The Browns have gone through three overtime games, all away from St. Louis, and won two. Cleveland was de- feated in 10 innings and so was De- trolt. Then the Yanks headed the Browns. after 10 innings in New York last Monday. Games Well Distributed. Comiskey Park in Chicago and Yan- kee Stadium in New York have hog- ged most of these extra-inning con- tests. Each has been the scene of four. Three have been played on Dunn Field in Cleveland, while Fenway Park in Boston, Navin Field in Detroft and Shibe Park in Philadelphia, have had two each Four legal games of less than nine tnnings have been played by the American League clubs this season. Indians and Tygers struggled to a 6-to-6 count in seven rounds at Cleve- land, and in a game of the same length, at St. Louis, Browns and Yan: kees played to a 1-to-1 score. 5 The Nationals beat the Yanks, 5 to 2, in & six-inning encounter in New York in the first week of the campaign, and the Red Sox nosed out the Athletics in a fiveinning engagement at Phil- adelphia. But Old Sol has been on the Job too much to allow the athletes to escape many innings.of toil. e ¥ WESTERN HIGH TEAM TAKES NET HONORS Western High School netmen closed their season yesterday with a 6-to-l victory over St. Alban’s School in a match for the scholastic tennis cham- plonship of the city. The Georgetown- ers already have won the interhigh school title by trouncing the teams of Central, Tech and Business. . The Western racketers took four out of five singles and triumphed in ’ both doubles matches with the St. Alban’s squad.

Entries for the tourney close tomorrow afternoon. H. G. Smithy of Columbia had one of the really fine holes of the tourna- ment on Friday, when he got a par 4 on the second at Columbia from a seemingty impossible situation. His tee shot was far back of the trees at the right, and he played his second shot into the rough, leaving him a pitch shot to a pin not more than eight feet back of & pair of traps. The green was very keen and the chances about 1 in 100 that his ball would stay on it. Instead of going over he 1ald the ball absolutely dead, stopping it within a foot of the pin to win from his opponent. The second hole at Columbia, 230 yards from the back tee, was played twice in 2 yesterday by W. R. Mac- Callum of Washington. Both tee shots were, about 15 feet to the left of the pin. and the putt for a 2 went down both times. Jack Philbin of the Maryland Coun- try_Club sprung & new_one on the golfers gathered at the Columbia din- nere Friday night when he said it would be the new policy at Maryland to bar explosion shots from the fair- way in all future tournaments.

Club and a former Middle Atlantic In winning the final match the junior MacKenzie did not play as well as he did in the morning to de feat his father, nor did he play as well as in his round of 72 Friday morning. Roland entered the Wash- ington, Indian Spring, Chevy Chase and Columbia tournaments, them all and annexing the medal rounds at Washington and Indian Spring. He was defeated by Voigt in the second round of the Baltimore Country Club tournament last month MacKenzie Wins Impressively. Ranked by all critics of the game locally as the finest golfer ever turned out in the amateur ranks about the city, Roland’s victory yesterday in the Columbia classic—one of the big tourneys of the season—places him without question at the peak of the amateur golfers here. Every golfer of note who has competed in tourna- ments near Washington this vear, with the single exception of C. J. Dunphy, played in the Columbia tourney and Roland won impres- sively. His golf in the final round was a little off his usually great game, but when he nedded a fine shot he made it, proving again the ability to bring off a remarkable shot in a pinch which he showed at Merion last year when he carried George Von Elm to the thirty-seventh hole in the amateur champlonship. Agnew played very well, with the exception of a few glaringly bad spots, notably on the fifth and the elghteenth, but he was most of the time outranged by the long driving MacKenzie and was pushed to hold his own against the farreaching shots of his opponent. Agpew jumped into an early lead, winning two of the first three holes through slightly inaccurate play by MacKenzie. Agnew took the second and third holes in par figures. Mac- Kenzie squared the match at the long sixth, went into the lead at the eighth, lamod 2 up on the tenth tee and was Inever headed thereafter, even though | he came to the eighteenth only dormie 1 up. MacKenzie was 79 for the round against an approximate 84 for Agnew, who picked up his ball on two holes where the hole yas clearly a win for MacKenzie. Agnew Away Well. Roland hit a very long ball on the first hole, but put his second shot half, although Agnew's second shot was far short of the green. Roland again hit a very long tee shot at the second hole with a spoon, but looked up on his second shot and missed it badly, playing his third from short of the ditch in front of the green. Agnew won with a par 4. Roland took three putts on the third hole after being on the green in two shots, and Agnew won with a par 4 to become 2 up. They halved the short fourth, when MacKenzie's tee shot found the trap at the right edge of the green, while Agnew was to the right of the trap in the rough. Both pitched out on the green and were down in the regulation two putts. Agnew lost the long fifth when he topped his second shot, put his fourth shot over the green’ and was barely on in 5, while Roland was one in 3 shots with a chance for a 4. MacKenzie reached the sixth green in two shots, while Agnew half top- ped his pitch shot third, the Colum- bla youngster winning with a par 4 to square the match. They secured the regulation par 4s on the seventh and Roland went into the lead with a well played 3 at the short eighith, al- though his tee shot was over the green. Agnewis tee shot was in the trap at the left edge of the green. MacKenzie Two Up at Turn. Roland’s tee shot was hit so far on the long ninth that he got home with a mashie shot and he won the hole with a_par 4 when Agnew, fail- ing to get home in 2, took 5 to get down. His win of the ninth put Mac- Kenzie 2 up at the turn. The District champlon overplayed his second shot at the tenth, his ball going into the road back .of the green. His chip back was 10 feet past the pin and he missed the pytt for a half when Agnew, on in 2, was down in 4. Roland got home with two fine shots at the eleventh and won the hole to again become 2 up when Agnew failed to reach the green with his second shot. = Roland played. the long twelfth in bad style, pushing his tee shot to the right, playing his second shot safe, and putting his third short in the trap at the left of the green. Agnew won the hole with a par 5 when MacKenzie's fourth shot was barely out of the trap and he got to the green in 5. They halved the short thirteenth in par 3s, although Agnew’s tee shot was to the right of the green. He chipped up and sank a good putt for a half.

Agnew, jr of the Bannockburn Golf Club, by 2 up in a final round marked by the briliiant recovery work of Agnew and the exceptionally long hitting of The victory of the Columbia youth was his fourth in as many season in tournaments about Washington, and stamps him again the finest player about the cit toric Wardman trophy, brought to Columbia for the third time in as many. MacKenzie, in winning the his MacKenzie. gained his way into the ultimate round by a 4-and-3 over his father, Albert, one of the leading golfers of Columbia Country Golf Association champion. Agnew reached the final round through a last hole victory over George J. Vc of Bannockburn, who won the Columbia tournament last year great shot, which 50 vards away. MacKenzie, fac loss of the hole, went down into the rough and played a superb spoon shot from a bad lie which would h reached the green had it not cau the branches of a tree nearby Agr found his ball lving in a divot hole and popped his second shot up in t air, short of the guarding ditch, side MacKenzie's ba tongue of rough made by a be the ditch. They halved the hole Agnew Wins on No. 17. Neither man was on the green at the short sixteenth, but they hal in 4 when MacKenzie chipped on from back of the green and Agnew chipped on from the front. Agnew made a great chip shot from a trap to win t seventeenth when he was dormie down, when MacKenzie, who had h a great tee shot nearly hole high, his second shot on the eighteenth te and chipped back past the green Agnew sliced his tee shot jnto the rough, put his next in the bunker in front of the green and laid his th shot stony to win when MacKen: missed a 12-footer for a 4. Agnew, one down and one to go and with the honor, hooked his tee shot out of bounds at the eighteenth, while MacKenzie hit a screamer 2 down the fairway Agnew's s ball, his third shot, was again hooked nearly out of bounds, the services of the referee being needed to decide whether the ball was in bounds. His fourth shot was c the fairway and he reached the green in 5.
