GIANTS ARE UNABLE TO GAIN ON PIRATES By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, August 24--The Pirates have all but shoved the Glants off the plank. McGraw and his crew have only a meager toe-hold now to prevent Plttsburgh capturing the N: tonal League title. The best’ New York could do vester- day was to divide a double-header with the Pirates, winning the opener, 7 to 4, |and taking a setback in the nightcap, 3 to 2. Rawlings, a Glants’ cast.of drove in the winning run in the sec ond game. The Buccanneers continue with their five-game lead on the top rung and have the present series already in the bag with three victories. The final game is today. Washington kept its one.game mar- gin over the Athletics in the Ameri- can League race by taking the meas- ure of the Bengals, 6 to 4, while Phila- dephia. was blanking the White S 3 10 0. Sam Gray of the Macks held the Sox to seven hits, and Al Simmons hung up his twenty-second homer of the vear. Bing Miller also slammed for the circuit Chicago braced after taking a 6-to-0 shut-oue from Dazzy Vance in the tirst game of a twin bill and won the second from Brooklyn, 8 to 7. Vance limited the Cubs to two scratch hits and fanned nine batters. The Cards did not play, and the even break for the Robins kept them one point in arrears of -the Hornsby tribe. Bennet’s triple with two on the sacks in the fourth inning put the game on ice for the Browns, who turned out a 5-to-2 victory over the Red Sox. Babe Ruth whacked his fourteenth home run of the season in the sixth inning of the game with the Indians, but the Yankees lost their third in a row to Cleveland by 7 to 6. Shocker of New York and Karr of Cleveland both were knocked out of the box, Speece finishing as the successful re- lief twirler, with Pennock of the Yan- kees not so effective. 53,000, A NEW RECORD, SEE GOTHAM TWO BILL NEW YORK, August 24 (#).—An- other new attendance record for the Polo Grounds was set yesterday at the second doubleheader of the cru- cial Pittsburgh-New York serfes. Un- officially it was estimated at 53,000, or over 2.000 more than the record set Saturd: WASHINGTON, ubs were putting in the best the D. @, an Associa ed more attention than has the race for the pennant in the Southern League this year.

York {s holding its own in the New York League, where there is another hot fight on. Waterbury is getting_the edge in the Eastern League. Hartford and New Haven had better get a move on it they expect to stop the boys in the western corner of the State. Waterbury always has finished well and there is just about enough ad vantage left to carry the team through the early part of September. All the fight left in the American Association is for second and St Paul i making every effort to land that. The Minnesotans will have to g0 strong because Indfanapolis, in spite of the fact that it has not been unwilling to part with players, has shown enough speed to let the remain der of the association know that it is out for the place. Toronto cannot catch Baltimore in the International League unless it puts on more steam. It cannot be said that Jack Dunn had all the strength of the league this vear, best go and thén went out something in their place. Sun Francisco is a sure pennant win- ner on the Pacific coast and is holding up its players at prices as high as they were before the league assumed the modified draft. So what earthly dif. ference does it maka whether a league is no draft.or & modified draft? JOE DUNDEE GETS FIGHT WITH PINKEY MITCHELL BALTIMORE, Md.. August 24 (#).— Joe Dundee, Baltimore boxer, has been matched with Pinkey Mitchell, Junior welterweight champion of the world, in a 10-round decision bout at Philadelphia on September 21.

In bested Petworth, 2 to 1, but in the second the fron-armed hurler was nosed out of another victory, 11 to 10, in 12 innings. Frank Corkins’ no-hit, norun per formance, which allowed Mount Rainier to run up a 10-to-0 score on Kenilworth, was the outstanding fea- ture of the Prince George's County League games.

Pierce Athletic Club of Hyattsviile won from Seat Pleasant, 7 to 6, a last- inning rally netting the winners six runs. Arlington won its fifth straight in the Northern Virginia League by nos- ing out Clarendon in a 14-inning fra- cas, 7 to 6, while Cherrydale was trouncing Addison, 12 to 4. Lefty Laycock went the route on the mound for Arlington and gave his best ex- hibition of the present season.

From a weekly total of nearly 60, the list this last week has fallen to 43. Two of the American League clubs, Cleveland and Chicago went home-run less all week, Detroit getting only one. In the National League, St. Louis and Chicago got but one.aplece. Babe Ruth got three last week, sav- inz the Yankees from another zero.

Thirty-four States do not have laws limiting the number of birds and game owl that may be bagged in a day. OW many fly fishermen know anything about the origin of the fiies H which they use to lure their favorite fish? It is a long subj but perhaps an outline of the origin of a few of the more popular flies will prove interesting. Artificial flies for fishing are not by any means a modern inve In fact, not only the use of artificial flies, but some of the actual patter now in vogue, date back about 2,000 years The red hackle, for instance, is we do not know, but so long as the: mentioned by writers as far back as d0. What's the difference? 300 AD. One of the hest books, bu by means best adays. ever twritten on ar 1 flies was written by a woman in 1486, Her name was Juliana Barnes, and she was Dprioress of a nunnery. Coming to more “recent” times, we find lzaak Walton using flies of a pattern very similar, if not identical. to some of those we now fiip on our American streams. The manner in which the Royal Coachman, America’s favorite fly, was named is Interesting. The inventor of | the Coachman was Tom Bosworth, the coachman for three English | Kings—George IV, Willlam IV, and| Queen Elizabeth, whom we will call a | King because she really was one. Bosworth was an expert with the| whip, and many tales are told of his prowess. He was also, as you might | imagine, quite as skillful with the| fly rod. He devised the little collec- | tion of colored feathers which soon became famous as the Coachman fly. Later a bit of scarlet was added, and it became the Royal Coachman | The Professor fly was actually in-| » ’ vented by a professor.

So the angler set to work and tied a fly in imitation of the trout's fin, and named it after a Maine lake. And this is how we got the beautiful Belle fly.
