HUGMEN, ON FORM, LOOMAS WINNERS Season Records Show They Should Cop as Often as Mackmen in West. BY JOHN B. KELLER. AX BISHOP'S homer in New York yesterday kept the Ath- letics in the American League pennant race, but the trail ahead proises to be rough for them. To bag the flag, the Mackian Club must outplay the Yankees at a 5-t0-4 rate during the final swing of | the vear through the West and that's quite an order for an outfit that has just been given a 3-to-1 trimming by the club it must overhaul to become circuit champion. Barring future rain, the Yankees will complete their full schedule of 154 | games with 15 engagements in the West. The Athletics have but 13 to play in that sector, which will bring their year’s total of tilts to 153. American League headquarters announces that no provisioin has been made to play off the postponed game between the Athletics and the Red Sox and this washout at Boston may materially af- fect the flag chance of the Clan Mc- | Gillicuddy. | " Playing at the form they have dis- i played throughout the season in combat | with Western clubs, the Yankees figure ! to win nine games during the trip. So do the Athletics. And though the | Yanks figure to lost two more than the | | A’s, the slender lead now held would ! protect the former. The Yankees and Athletics, with 9-and-6 and 9-and-4 records respectively for the trip, would make the final standings read: ‘Won. Lost. Yankees . 100 54 Athletics . 99 54 However, the statistics on which the sbove figures are based are for the clashes the Eastern rivals have had with the West since the start of the campaign. The form figures do not fol- low games played only in the West by the Yanks and A’s, nor has the recent slump of the Yanks/and the equally re- cent spurt of the A’s been considered. Bo do not count the Clan McGillicuddy out of the running yet. When the Eastern rivals went through the West in June, the Yankees did somewhat better than the Athletics. ‘The New York club finished the trip Pet. .64 with a 9-and-4 record and the Athletics | day. with a 9-and-6 record. How different the clubs played, though, when they went West the latter part of July and early in August. Then the Yanks won 6 of 16 engagements, while the ics won 12 games and lost only 3 Another such trip for these clubs and th~ Athletics will romp home winners. There's this to consider. To the ‘Wostern ciubs this year, the Yankees have been only another ball club. True, Miller’ Huggins' crowd has licked the ‘West soundly. A record of 46 wins and’ 27 losses in intersectional clashes shows that.:. But the Athletics have been a much’ tougher bunch against the West. Connie Mack’s men have registered 54 wins against 21- defeats in brushes with the West. That'’s no record to be over- Jooked, now that they're carrying the fight to that section. CARDS BOOST LEAD - IN NATIONAL LEAGUE | GLAZNER, SLAB VETERAN, 38TH ON GRIFF ROSTER There now are 38 players with or assigned to the Nationals, the latest acquisition being Charles F. Glazner, a right-hand pitcher. He has been bought from Mobile of the Southern Association, for which club he has won 21 games and lost 9 this season. As Mobile is well down in the stand- ing of the Dixie circuit, it is an es- pecially fine record for the hurler. Glazner is no new man in base ball. He is 35 years old and has been in the professional game since 1913. He was with the Pirates and the Phillies in the National League several seasons, leaving the big show in 1924, PLANS FOR SERIES T0 BE SET MONDAY By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, September 13.—World | series plans will be completed next | Monday when President E. S. Barnard | of the American League and President John A. Heydler of the National League meet with representatives of the pen- nant contending clubs of each circuit in New York at the call of Commis- stoner Landis. The rules call for the opening of the series in the park of the club win- ning the American League pennant, but the dates remain to be set. The tenta- tive schedule opens the series October 3 with another game in the American League park on the fourth. Should Chicago or St. Louis win the National League pennant, there will be an off day for traveling, with the series being resumed in cne of the two cities on October 6 and continuing for three days. The last two games, if nec- cssary, will be played in the American League club's park. If the Giants, Reds or Pirates come through in the National League race, the cories will be resumod in the Na- tional League park on October 5. Commissioner Landis has issued in- vitations_to ropresentatives of the New York arffd Philadelphia clubs of the American League and the St. Louis, Chicago, New York, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati clubs of the National circuit to attend the meeting.

ST. LOUIS LANDS 1929 PUBLIC LINKS TOURNEY NEWTON, Mass., September 13 (#)—The national public links tour- nament for 1929 has been awarded to the Fort Park Golf Club, St. Louis, to be played the week of August 6, it was announced today by the United States Golf Associatioin. Calamity Jane, Bobby's putter, cam through for him at this juncture. Fc holed the down-hill 8-footer and thecy were square going to the home hole. Bobby looked to us as if he attempt- ed to sock one a mile on the eighteenth. He pushed it and faded down into a dry water ditch, from which he could not possibly play toward the hole. Gorton stood there needing only a fine tee shot to topple the crown from the emperor’s head. Doubtless Gorton seldom misses a tee shot on that hole, for he has played it countless times. But he went deep with his driver, and the ball vanished far over a clump of trees into deep woods. Ball Behind Woodpile. . For & while it looked as if it couldn't be found, but finally Gorton located it behind a colossal woodpile, in a spot where he couldn’t do other‘than chip out in ‘the fairway. This he did »nd played three before Bobby just knocied his second shot out on the fairw parallel to the ditch where his d& ended.

RAEBURN ' CLUB, Boston, Sep- tember 13.—The emperor still reigns. Bobbie Jones’ uneasy moments should be over, in: so far as this thirty-second ama- teur golf championship is concerned, for yesterday he entered the realm of 36-hole matches and the sector wherd he can blow a shot or two and until | his_opponent cracks. | But the emperor only sits on his | throne today as he matches shots with J. B. Beck, oae of the visiting English- men, and one of two survivors of the three members of the British Walker Cup team, who qualified by no wider a margin than a gnat's eyebrow. For Bobby was only a good tee shot away from almost certain - elimination last night, as a dim mist fell over ' Brae- burn’s rolling fairways, and he slugged a lengthy tee shot to an almost impos- sible lie far to the right of the stretch of green that reaches toward the eight- eenth hole. He is in today by a margin only as wide as -his putter blade, but he is in. The champion is still the champion, and should have no trouble with Beck, who has not-been by any means the star of the British brigade. Indeed, the path of the emperor has been greased again. He will have no such tough assignment as he tackled last year at Minneapolis, for the big | guns of the tournament have vanished, with but two exceptions, blasted out under a cross-fire from comparative unknowns which recorded at least four outstending upsets before the day of sorrow was over for Von Elm, Evans, Ouimet and Sweetser. With these stal- ;arts out, Jones should have comnara- tively little trouble wading through the balance of the field. And from a ring- side seat it looks as if he will match shots with George Voigt in the final, for Voigt was also the survivor of the two hectic 18-hole rounds yesterday. Bobbie Jones never-did like 18 holes'| match play rounds in the amateur championship, and .he liked them no better late yesterday afternoon, as he moved to the fifteenth hole 1 down to Ray Gorton, 37-year-old star of the Braeburn Club, who . caught the At- lanta lawyer distinctly off his game and came within a tee shot-of beating him. Bobby went:to the:nineteenth to down the rotund Gorton, suffering all the way. For had Gorton had a good tee shot at the eighteenth the chances | are the amateur champion would not be Ion his throne today. Look Like Toss-Ups. o of the Jonss-Beck match, the in the third round, now under | jnok like toss-ups. No interval of | rot slong the title path looms for th» {otanr six still in the title chase, as T. Phillip Perkins, the British ~amateur champfon,. crosses clubs with Johnny Dawson of Chicago, while a dog fight is in_progress between George Voigt and. Dr. O. F. Willing from faraway Oregon, and Phillips Pinlay, the' new |7 slege gun of the game, meets' R.. Johnston of St. Paul." These eight survived the two 18-hole matches in:a day that saw the erasing of atleast - four favorites and a day that.saw the great Jones palpitating on the ragged verge . of -defeat. And not for a few holes, -but for 18. : Voigt Sweetser drew the crowd yesterday, anticipating a tremendous battle between the bulldog of Brookline and the medalist and the newest star 3 on the amateur horizon. But they saw # Sweetsar who hadn’t the keen edge of | Brookline against a Voigt. who hurg on grim death, never giving the for- chamoion 2 chanen for bis alley. Voigt was ncver down to Sweetser, alihough Jess squared at the i after dropping the first two to consect tibe birdies by the East Potomac Park- bred golfer. After that Voigt was far too steady for the former American and British -open titleholder, closing Sweet- ser. out on th:i sixteenth, which they halved in par 4s. . That first round in the thirty-second national amateur drama was one to draw tears to the eyes of strong men. First it was Von: Elm, one of the top- heavy favorites to win, who was dropped before the drum fire of hefty Arthur Yates of Rochester, by 3 and 2. Then along came Johnnie Dawson of Chi- cago, shooting a 69 to close out Chick Evans on the seventeenth, with the low- est and best round of the tournament so far. Then Phillips Finlay and Francis Ouimet came to the seventeenth all square, and Francis pushed his tee shot far to the right to lose the hole and go to the home hole 1 down. That match ended when Francis put his tee shot in the ditch which crosses the eighteenth fairway. while Finlay whaled one far and high down the middle. . Meanwhile, Frank Dolp. the taciturn Western champion, was closed out on the seventeenth by C. Ross Somerville, Canadian title holder, and Maurice J. | McCarthy of the Washington club and | Georgetown University fell before the | steady golf of John Dawes Ames of Chicago, son-of the former Princeton foot ball star. Beck Redeems for British. Beck redeemed: Britain's reputation when he beat Rudy Knepper, the lion tamer of Brookline, and Tommy Perkins went 22 holes to beat the 18-year-old Don- Moe, from faraway Oregon. Per- kins was lucky in the .match, for Moe had a 4-footer to win on the eighteenth when the British champion laid him! a dead stymie. + Jones had won by 4 and 3 in the morning from J. W. Brown, and started | outin lackadaisical fashion against Gor- |ton, dropping the first hole to a par| 4 and halving the second in a terrible | | 6. * Jones became 2 down at the fourth, | | where he pushed a shot into a bunker, | |and took another 6. But he got one | | hole back at the short sixth, where he canned a 15-footer for a birdie 2, only | to lose it at the seventh with another buzzard 6. ' He won the eighth and, ninth, however, to square the match. | Both ‘men_were out in 41. If that is| championship golf. Cy Cummings rates ' this competition. i Right away the fireworks started. Bobby got a birdie 4 on the 491-yard tenth, but it wasn't good enough, for Gorton, who is fully as rotund as the title holder and considerably older, sank a 10-footer for an eagle 3. Bobby was hanging on the ropes, his arms down, waiting for the finishing blow, when| he pushed his tee shot at the eleventh far into the high grass. But he played a truly marvelous shot over a high row of elm trees to bag another birdie 3, only to have Gorton halve the hole in 3, when the home club star sank a curling 10-footer. They had played the last two holes in one eagle and | three birdies. We've never seen medi- acrity so hopelessly mixed up with bril- lance in any golf game. Bobby squared at the 63-yard twelfth, when Gorton found a trap, but the emperor again | went into a one-hole deficit at the | | other birdie 4. i They split the fourteenth in par 5s. and Jones squared again at the fifteenth with a birdie 3. The sixteenth was halved and they faced the tricky seven- teenth, 255 yards down hill, and a hole which either wrecks or makes repu- | tations: At this point we examined the pulse of O. B. Keeler, Bobby's faithful chronicler, and it was pretty low. It almost vanished when Bobby pushed his tee shot to the right and chipped 8 feet past the pin, while Gor- ton ran one up within 2 feet. But to within a foot of the hole, leaving Gorton a partial stymie to negotiate over a curling. tortuous stretch of green. Gorton smi in his pleasant fashion, stepped up and sank the putt. They were still square. 4 ‘The nineteenth. was' anti-climactic, pushed his tee shot far into ‘woods, dubbed one, played far past pin and then nearly sank his bid for & 4, while Jones calmly flung a niblick shot to the green and nonchalantly ran down a foot putt for & 4. The king is still king, but by what a narrow margin! Keeler is still with us, but he’ll never be the same. You see, Keeler is get- ting on in life and his heart, strained by watching Bobby for a decade and a half, is going to pop some day. if his courage lasts. He swears-he will n=ver come to another championshin. Bnt if | he stons, who will write th~ ¢ | ing Winfer golf yorr-. | fio” somothing about it. by the emperor might heln. Sweeiser started bv ng a spade shot within six feet of th> hole against Voigt, but the cool District title hold- er sank a 15-footer for his 3, and Sweetser ‘missed. Voigt won the second by, holing a. chip shot from the edge of the green. Voigt literally gave Sweet- ser the fourth and fifth by bad tee shots, for the the for at the fourth he hit two out of & bunker at the short sixth in par, 0 lead at the seventh, when Sweetser hooked to the woods. Voigt was' 1,up at the turn and they halved ‘the tenth in birdie 4s. . Voigt played one of the fipest iron shots we've ever seen at the eleventh, la; it within four feet of the pin and holing the putt@¥pr FPhis seculg consecutive birdie t e 2. up. He picked the short twelftlf’ when Sweetser was trap- ped from the tee, but dropped t! thirt~enth to a birdie 4 by the former | title holder They split the long fifteenth it Sweetser. whose tee shots had | heen trcubling him all day. put one in .'h‘: rough at the fifteenth and lost the hole to a 4 by Voigt. That left the Dutchman, as Voigt is called. dormie 3 up, and the end came quickly on the sixteenth. which they halved in 4s. If Voigt isn't already nationally es- tablished by his victory in the medal round Tuesday. that win over Sweetser should place him in the select. Tom- my Perkins, meanwhile, was eliminating Yates, who showed nowhere mnear the burst of speed. he had against Von Elm, and Dawson was treating Eustace Storey ‘in very inhospitable fashion by downing the Britisher, 6 and 4. Beck was 1 down and 4 to go to Somerville, but pulled the match out by winning the !-lst two holes from-the Canadian cham- plon. YESTERDAY'S RESULTS INGOLF TOURNAMENT “First Round. George von Elm .
