SPORTS., SLUGGER LIKES METHODS OF PILOT HE MAY SUCCEED Star of Giants Warm Advocate of Managerial Plan Pursued by Veteran Leader—Thinks Mac Has Forgotten More Than Others Know. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, September Rogers Hornsby discussing his all plaving code, his S attitude toward the game & leaves the distinct impression that he comes of the same school that turned out John J. McGraw—or peraps it was McGraw that started it. t any rate, it may explain why s wenerally understood that Mc- will turn over the full reins of sship to Hornsby when the gray- haired veteran decides to retire. He has given Rogers a pretty free hand this season a number of times and the results haven't been unsatisfac- tory. A lot of people have the idea that McGraw is hard-boiled,” Hornsby said, “but they have him all wrong. “Probably they got the mnotion be- cause Mac is decisive and forceful in he does things. He gives or- ders and expects them to be followed. He doesn’t do any second-guessing. If i s made on his orders, the blamed. would rather work for McGraw v - man in base ball be- nd so do all the other forgotten more base i players, that he ball than we kno No Friction on Club. “There isn't any friction on _the club, either. You hear stories about wrangling in the clubhouse or on the bench once in a while. They're bunk. We may not alway but there isn’t an: E who's running the team or why. “You know they think I'm hard- boiled too. They said that of me when I was managing the Cardinals last year. I don't do any kidding around on the field, if that's what they mean. when I'm out there, it's all business. “I like McGraw's methods. Tt wasn’t difficult for me to adjust my- self to the Giants’ style of play. The game is the same. When Mac puts confidence enough in me to let me run the club at times, I attempt to follow out his plans just as though he were on the bench.” Must Accept Jeers, Too. There was a minor league player once widely known for his ability boot *em one time and pull a dazzling play the next. He was always uncer- tain. One day he made a particularly billiant play that pulled the fans out of their chairs, cheering. “Take off your cap,” said a team- mate as the applause continued “Nothing doing,” the player respond ed. “One day they want you to take off your cap and the next to take off yeur uniform.” Hornsby has the same attitude. - “One day you are a bum and the next a hero” mused Rogers. ‘‘The crowd never bothers me. I know that the jeers follow the cheers. “I seldom pay any attention to the stands unless somebody gets a little too perscnal. Nobody will relish any personial abuse. Fans Entitled to Squawk. “But my idea is that they can vell all they want to just so they pay their money to see the games. That's busi- ness. If I pay to see a show I feel I have a right to criticize it. If the fans don’t like the game they are welcome to squawk, so far as I am concerned.” RIALTO NINE LISTS FOUR CONTESTS IN THREE DAYS FOUR-GAME schedule has been arranged by Manager Nate Sauber for Rialte nine this week end. Walter Reed toss- ers will be engaged tomorrow, with Mount Rainier booked for Sun- day. Two games will be played with Hiser's Hyattsville All-Stars on the holiday. Ottenberg, B. Sauber and Simons will hurl for the Rialtos. Georgetown A. C. will engage the Dreadnaughts at Alexandria on Sun- day with all intentions of winning. The addition of Bennie April, catcher, and Bill Werber, second baseman, in- dicates that Manager Pete Haley means business. Three games in two days consti- tutes the program of Cabin John nine, starting Sunday with a game with Na- tional Circles at 3:30 o'~lock on the Johnnies’ field.

MOSTIL IS RETURNED TO WHITE SOX PAY ROLL CHICAGO, September 2 (#).—John- ny Mostil, formerly star outfielder for Baptist turned to the active list. has been on the voluntarily re- tired list since he inflicted severe stabs and slashes on himself in the Sox training camp at Shreveport, La., last Spring. Mostil has been working out with the club for the past week, and his employers were so well satisfled with his return to form that his status of an active player was restored. et CAPITAL CITY NINES BATTLE FOR TITLES Capital City League clubs in four of the nine sections will battle Sunday with the championships of their re- spective divisions still in the balance, while the remaining five groups have practically crowned their champions. Disputes over games in Midget and Insect ranks caused the resignation of the American team last night and gen- eral mix-up has developed in Insect ranks. Americans withdrew when their protest of last Sunday’'s game with the Ace team was overruled. Russells were given more time to show that the Elks used a player over age in a game early in the season. This protest, if upheld, will give the Russells a chance to win the pennant without a play-off with Walfords. HEAVY SCHEDULE AHEAD FOR HYATTSVILLE NINE Five games in three days with sturdy nines is the ambitious program Henry Hiser has arranged for his all- star base ball team, made up of play- ers of Hyattsville and vicinity. All the contests will be on the Riverdale Park diamond. Douglas A. C. will be met tomorrow at 3 o'clock, Red Sox Sunday in a double-header starting at 2 o'clock, and Rialtos Monday in another twin bill, also getting under way at 2 o'clock. PENNANT CLINCHED BY WICHITA FALLS By the Associated Press. DALLAS, Tex., September 2.—The Wichita Falls Club has clinched the Texas League pennant, with 92 wins against 51 losses, and will face the champions of the Southern Associa- tion in the Dixie series. ‘The Spudders are 13 games ahead of Houston and Waco, tied in second place. Dallas, winner over New Or- leans in the Dixie series last year, is fourth. The season ends Septem- ber 11. Birmingham has a two-and-one-half- game lead over New Orleans in the Southern Association. o— McCARTY MAY BE GIVEN CHANCE WITH RED SOX Bernie McCarty, former George- |town University pitcher and for the past several years one of the out- standing sandlot hurlers here, is sched- uled for a trial with the Boston Red Sox, according to William W. Watt, president of the District Umpires’ As- sociation. ‘Watt recommended McCarty to the Sox and announced that Manager Car- rigan would talk about a contract with McCarty today.

N two seasons “Fighting Joe" McCarty, manager of the Chi- cago Cubs, has taken a tail- ender in base ball's big show and landed it in the thick of the race. McCarthy's fighting personality, his ability to instill a never-say-die spirit in his men, his close study of the game and his firm handling of his players are said to be the rea- sons for his success. He is known as a boss without strings from the “higher up: Puts Cubs in Race in Two Seasons THE IDEA (5 TO GET UP THE McCarthy is always found down on tHe third base line, watching every opening. If he thinks he will be able to put across a run by pulling out a pitcher, out comes the pitcher. The bench is the Cubs’ class- room. McCarthy demands that horse play and kidding cease there, and insists that every player con- centrate on the game and make suggestions, He wastes no time on a player who doesn’t do what he wants him to do. Study the game and play to win is McCar- thy's maxim. By the Associated Press. HICAGO, September 2.— The mayor, the city council, the American Legion and civic leaders were banded together today into an official welcom- ing committee for Gene Tunney, world heavyweight champion. There was on the program a parade from the railroad station to the City Hall, to give Chicagoans a chance to glimpse the man who is to defend his title against Jack Dempsey at Soldier Field September 22." Some Key-to-the- city ceremonies at the City Hall were arranged to take only a short -time. Then Tunney was to look over the city and go to his training quarters at Cedar Crest Country Club. He has been training at Speculator, N. Y. Tunney is a comparative stranger in Chicago. 'His only fight appear- ance here was four years ago, when he won a decision over Jimmy De- laney in a semi-windup. Jack Dempsey preceded the cham- pion here by two weeks and already is in training at Lincoln Fields race track. Dempsey yesterday boxed three rounds with a trio of partners. He devoted his time to perfecting a de- dense against left-hand leads and jabs, but he pleased the crowd of fans on hand when he occasionally let go with séme of the punches he hopes to land on Tunney. Fans are paying $1.10 each to watch Dempsey train, but Tunney has said the public can watch him free. He will find his camp at Cedar Crest sim- lar to his camp in Speculator, except for isolation and elevation. There is plenty of woods and water, with a rolling country round about suitable for road work. Although slightly farther from Chicago than CHICAGO TO GIVE TUNNEY AN ORGANIZED WELCOME Dempsey’'s camp at the race track, the 35-mile jaunt to Cedar Crest gives indications of becoming well worn be- fore Tunney leaves again. ‘With the champion training here, fight ticket headquarters expect an increase in demand for tickets. How- ever, the public already has poured out almost $2,000,000 in the advance sale, and Tex Rickard, the promoter, has reaffirmed his belief that the fight easily will attract a $3,000,000 gate. The secret committee of five busi- ness men has completed its task of alloting the 7,000 ringside seats, in- cluding the 108 in the first row, but there has been no indication as to who got the choice location: DEMPSEY’S CAMP WORK IS BEING BROADCAST CHICAGO, September 2 (#).—Radio- casts of championship fights have come to be expected, but the blow-by- blow account of fighters in training is new. Station WLS, Chicago, has started broadcasting ringside information on how Dempsey performs against spa ring partners at his Lincoln Fiel training. camp. The broadcast goes on the air each day at 1 p.m., Central standard time. ARRANGES TWO0 TWIN BILLS. Two double-headers have been ar- ranged for Black Sox, sturdy local colored nine. Shamrocks will be met Sunday and Washington Giants Labor day. Both games will be played at Union League Pgrk and action each day will begin at 2:30 o'clock. By the Associated Press. ITTSBURGH, September 2.— Donie Bush and Joe Me- Carthy are agreed that the Pirates and the Cubs will fin- ish one-two in the tightest National League race jin many years. But naming the runner-up is something else again. Says Bush of the Pirates: “Joe's got a great club and we have to beat them to win. The Giants don’t frighten us much, while the Cards may scare for a while. It's the Cubs, T think, and it will be a pretty fight down to the finish.” Says McCarthy of the Cubs: “We have only one club to fear. The Cardinals and the Giants may make a little trouble before it is over, hut you can gamble all the tea in China that the Pirates will be the ones to hang on to the bit- ter end and chase right up to the wire.” Before their teams went into the game yesterday that landed the Pirates on top of the league stand- ing by a single point the rival pilots told newspaper men how they thought their own chances were shaping up and how they viewed their “friendly enemy.” “We haven't been going so well lately,” said McCarthy, “but that doesn’t say that we won't be in there at the finish. We just came off a bad road trip East, but it is the first bad one we had. We made two good ones, and in the way of percentage two out of three is not bad. Right now we are wabbling a bit, but home scenery and home crowds should help us a lot in the final drive.” _— HAWKINS Uiz MOTOR CO. Conveniently Located on Fourteenth Street 1333-37 14th St. Main 5780 Bucs or Cubs Will Win Flag, Pilots of These Clubs Agree Across the fleld on the other bench, Bush talked about the Pirates. “We came through the Eastern trip a little wabbly,” he said, “but every one else seemed to wabble, with us, so we didn’t lose much ground. Right now we are in great shape, excepting pitch- ers, and they should round out within a few days. We are on our toes again, heads up and fighting, and while it may be out of place to say right now, honestly I can't see who Is going to beat us.” | $1.25 Seat Cushions Redmond Gas Filters 1926 Ford and Chevrolet Bumpers .. .

CHICAGO, September 2, — Tex Rickard tomorrow will celebrate his twenty-first anniversary as a boxing impresario. It was on Labor day, September 3, 1906, in the little town of Goldfield, Nev., that he promoted his first box- ing ~ venture—the fight between Battling Nelson and Joe Gans for the lightweight championship. Rickard estimated today that that | first fight drew a gate something like $2,930,285 less than the approaching Dempsey-Tunney fight will draw, the exact figure being $69,715. Of that gate Nelson and Gans split a $30,000 Rickard said he already has written two checks for $30,000 and $35,000 to two of his minor aides in promoting the Dempsey-Tunney bout. WIFE’S SUIT MAY DELAY ANDERSON-CANZONERI GO CHICAGO, September 2 (#).—. family quarrel has threatened to pos pone the fight between Tony C zoneri of Chicago and Eddie Anderson, the Wyoming cowboy, set for tonight. Mrs. Anderson yesterday filed suit for separate maintenance against the Wyoming fighter and later declared she would attempt to enjoin tonight's fight unless satisfactory arrange- ments are made. Both Canzoneri and Anderson are ieading contenders for the feather- weight crown, now vacant. SEVERAL TICKET MEN LET OUT BY RICKARD CHICAGO, September (®).—Tex Rickard has announced the discharge from the Dempsey-Tunney office of several ticket sellers. Irregularities said to have involved the asking of bonuses for choice seats at the forthcoming heavyweight title fight were given as the reason for the action.

LONDON, September 2.—Horse rac- ing promoters have become alarmed at the startling. spread of interest in greyhound running competitions, which already has affected the attend- ance at horse races. Dog racing 1s so much cheaper in every particular that the horsemen fear horse racing more than ever is to become a “rich man’s game,” and that the middle classes will turn their attention more and more to dog com- petitions, out of which they get all the thrills of the galloping ponies at only a fraction of the cost. As an indication of the rapidly in- creasing popularity of greyhound rac- ing these attendance figures at the ‘White City, London, have been given: June 20, 20,000: June 22, 25,000; Ji 25, 40,000; July 2, 50,000; July 2 000; August 3, 80,000, and August 92,000.

In so far as the American League schedule was concerned, this was to be a_day of rest for the Harris clan, but Boss Bucky has ordered it other- wise. He was to have his charges at Clark Griffith Stadium bright and early this morning for a lengthy drill. The manager still is smarting under the sting of the 12 successive defeats suffered during the recent . trip through the West and is more than eager to whip his club into fighting shape once more, Harris, though, will not engage in any of the practice. The spiking he sustained during the Wednesday clash here with the Athletics was more se- vere than at first thought, and he may. be out of action for several more days.
