‘ . SPORTS, MACKMEN FAIL TO CASH ONA GRE AT OPPORTUNITY Have Lost 20 Points and Dropped to Third Place In- stead of Realizing on Grand Chance to Gain Much Ground on Yankees. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. N delphia Athletics had a ball club. better than it had been. The Athletics had created the greatest real gain of any team in the Now they are sending vegetables, not all of them in their first flush of luscious Today the Athletics are in third place, booted out of second by Cleveland after losing six games in a row. major leagues for the time being. beauty. Since the middle of July, when the Loss of the Athletics was figuring on crowning the Sesquicentennial Expo- * sition with a show worth while & . the Athletics have taken sinker. ~They have loaded with a net loss of 20 ainst the standing of the have been flopping way, exactly as they when they went to The Athletic soggily in € flopped in St. Louis riding the pennant stream s buoyant a cork, and within three week were wading while while the pennant canoe s away to a town down in the District of Columbia. Yanks Are Wabbling. The Yanks had been going none too good themselves this month. The Athletics had been furnished with an n])l'l\l“l: to win the pennant, but have lost their trail as badly as v lost it in 1 They may find gain, but it isn’t often that base dishes out two chances in one like that which the Athletics ad when the Yanks appeared to be giving ground. But there is a team coming in the n. League race which has not ny extraordinary gains, but which may have a chance to say a heap if its pitchers continue to grow into winners. It Cleveland. Maybe Chicago will get The White Sox, like the Athletics, ha¥ their chance but they blew most of it to the Athleti ex: v as the Athletics blew theirs away to Detroit. There is a stingaree for every club in the American League. Even the Yanks have theirs, for they would be infinitely better off if it had not been & for the Athletics. Had the Athletics been able to handle Detroit as have the Yanks, there would be a slighter margin between first and second places In the American League. Had the Athletics been as strong against Cleveland, the difference would be still less. It is Detroit .and Cleveland that have put their brogans into Quaker ribs, and ghe broad-toed boot of the Quaker has been the only boot to kick the slats of the Yanks. It is interesting to watch the up- ward progress of Waner, that plucky Oklahoma kid with the wistful smile of a sad-eyed Gretchen, of whom it was predicted by some very dis- tinguished scouts that his rare exhi- bition of high-class base ball on the Coast would explode in June—it he got that far with Pittsburgh. Waner's batting average at the next call should be about .330. He is going up and up, but not in an explosive sense. He has a chance to lead the National Leagu It won't take more than four or five weeks of hard and concentrated work to do it—and what a triumph that would be for the g { “W YORK, July 23—Connie Mack will spot any other manager in base ball six gray hairs in any kind of gray-hair pool.

HAGEN AN UNENDING TOPIC OF TALK FOR THE BRITISH BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, June Hagen an unending topic of N concerning him to talk about. Hagen's action in bringing his own caddy overseas with him appears to have opened up a fruitful subject, according to advices received from England Prevailing opinion is that the Hag has a rare jewel in that particular —English golf enthusiasts have found in Walter When discussion con- cerning his views upon British golf wanes they find something else conversation, caddy which he should cherish, guard and preserve at all costs. Opinion of not a few English stars is that one of the most enjoyable fea- tures in quitting their native land for playing in_ another country is that they are leaving the caddles be- nind. They look forward to pros- pects of discover- ing an improved breed; certainly they know that they will encoun- ter nothing worses A story is told of a recent tour- nament in_which Abe Mitc dy the weight of the lw"fi\!.uhell car- a only twelve clubs and had left % his umbrella out HAGEN. at the caddy’s be- liest—and finally resigned his job at the beginning of the second round. The ironical part of the story is that in the first round it rained heavily and Mitchell was thoroughly d. he bag which Hagen's caddy lugged over the English courses, by the way, astounded the English, who described it as having the shape and general pu)pmlknh of one of the Acquitania’s funnels. It is well they that Sir W her brought his own caddy along as otherwise he would have been obliged to look far to find a boy who would have been willing to undertake the job of trans- porting the bag even had it been ble to manage it without special ning. iven so, the English golter, so an % American friend who has just re turned from a tour of the English links tells the writer, enjoys services from his caddy that are unknown in this country.

But they do have failings in com- mon with their American cousins. One of them is a definite and un- compromising idea as to the way in which each shot shall be played, and the club to be used. Endersby Howard, the British golf eritic, re- cently told a story of how Vardon's caddy turned his bag on him at every hole in a British open tourney, hold- ing the bag at arm's length for a club to be taken out, just because early in the first round Vardon had decided to play a shot according to his own judgment rather than his caddy’s.

The Evening Star BOY S CLUB BY DAN O’LEARY Elghty-six-Year-0ld Champion Hiker of the orld. FTER a boy has learned to wear the right kind of shoes, take the proper care of his feet and is hardened a bit by daily hikes of 5 and 10 miles he should be able to hike 20 miles in one day without a great deal of trouble. 1 walked 100 miles on my birthday and have been doing that for years. The boys in Summer camp should hike 5 miles a day. anyhow. You probably_have been doing that dur- ing the Summer camp days. If you have been hiking that distance for two or three wecks you are ready now to try a 10-mile hike. After the 10-mile hike go back to five a day for a few days until you afe rested up and then set forth on some nice cool day for the 20- mile mark. When you've done that you're a real hiker. Get up to a speed of three and a half to four miles an hour. Carry your watch with you and keep a check of your time and mileage. The kind of shoes you wear means a lot. In the city a snug shoe may be all right, but when you're hiking every day you'll find it too light, too short and too narrow. Here's a good way to dry your shoes: Before the leather is completely dry rub in some neatsfoot oil. Taking proper care of the shoes is important in the hiker's daily duties. ‘What do you want to know? uestiont Ask “You're All Right” When Your Car Is Eqmppetl With INDIA TIRES Get oyr new reduced prices, and remember we do not charge any extra for our— Easy Credit Terms Potomac Tire Co. 28th & M Sts. - Official AAA Tire Service |, Question: Which are better for hik- ing, cotton or woolen socks?

BW YORK, July 23.—Gene Sara- zen, former naticnal open champion, |and Macdonald Smith, Western and Long Island open titleholder, tomor- row will try to end the greatest golf struggle in history. At the end of the scheduled 72 holes of the metropolitan champlonship at the Salisbury Country Club, near Gar- den City, N. Y., last week these two were deadlocked at 286 strokes. Last Sunday at the end of the first play® off round each registered 70, three under par, and in the second they posted 73, and no decision was forth- | coming. At the end of the second play-off round they had passed the record reached by Willie Macfarlane and Bobby Jones in the national open at Worcester, Mass., in 1925, wheri” Mac- farlane won the title by a. single stroke on the thirty-sixth extra hole. There must be a decision in the metropolitan, and the players agreed to meet in an 18-hole test tomorrow morning and again in the afternoon if it is found neces: y." Sarazen won the metropolitan crown at Grassy Sprain a year ago. PP WILL START EARLY. Penn State foothall practice will open on September 1, Coach Hugo Bezdek has announced.
