If this is so |he may prove as troublesome to the Nationals as did young Phil Page, the {southpaw, at Detroit last Tuesday. The Indian Moguls also discovered ‘that Bolton, a product of the Cleve~ fand sandlots. developed into a likely {fooking first_sacker at Terre Haute. “When farmed to that club it was feared "Bolton never would shine aficld, al- t:louzh he was considered a sturdy bal Mer.

Ferrell and Bolton. along with Burnett!| lare accounted the hot shots of the lot \the Indians have recalled from the ‘hree-I circuit. Burnett, it will be re- lealled, is the former University of lorida boy who showed little else than remarkable speed when tried by the In- ians before. Now he is reported to be fine prospect as a fielder and a hitter. r Goldman, the Syracuse youngster, Melded sensationally for Decatur, but ‘did not hit anything like Burnett. The lothers recalled from the Three-I loon mre said to be only average ball play- jers, but both Peck and General Man- 'ager Evans want to test them under big Aeague fire before the season ends. Y With his club still in the hunt for ‘fourth-place money, Manager Stanley Harris will continue to employ his reg- ar organization. It is a fact, how- lever. that he can do little else, for the Nationals have so few extras other than batterymen that it would be difficult ‘o ‘ehange the line-up to any extent.

Game of Top Place in American League. BY HERBERT W. BARKER. By the Associated Press. HERE'S not much to choose be- pennant races, but the fact re- mains that most of the drama is being enacted in the Ameri- can .League. The St. Louts Cardinals have made the National League battle more or less of a cut-and-dried proposition by the | simple process of matching anything | their closest competitors may or may | not achieve. If the New York Giants lose the Cardinals menage to do the same thing. If they win, Bill McKech- nie's beys see to it that John McGraw docsn’t profit in the standings thereby. But in the American League, Miller Huggins' champion New York Yan- kees have given their supporters more alternate moments of ecstatic joy and dismal gloom than is good for the con- stitution. even of a leather-lunged Bronx fan. Bronx in Mourning Today. From good to bad and Hack again Yankee tortunes have gone this vear. { The Bronx was in deep mourning to- day, for the Yankees, losing a 12-inning battle to the Chicago White Sox ves- terday, saw the Philadelphia Athletics creep to within one game of the lead again. Meanwhile the National League re- mained unchanged, as the Cardinals and the Giants tangled in a double bill and emerged with one victory apiece as home runs flew thick and fast at the Polo Grounds. What advantage there was went to McKechnie, for he got rid of two more games from his schedule \\‘ilhlout losing any ground te his chief rival. Pitchers got none of the glory at the Polo Grounds. George Harper, who once patroled right field for McGraw, took things in his own hands in the first game, crashing out three home runs, and the Cardinals coasted to an 8-to-5 victory. Larry Benton was the victim of two of Harper's drives, and re- tired in the eighth with his eighth de- feat of the season as company. Just to show he was playing no favorites Harper hit another home run off Jack Scott in the eighth, just after Chick Hafey had sailed one into the right-ficld bleachers. Most of the damage the ‘Giants did to Wee Willie Sherdel was the result of two more home runs—one by Andy Cohen and the other by Frank Hogan. ‘The boys calmed down a bit in the second game until the eighth inning when the Giants, fighting to overcome a two-run lead, sailed into old “Pete” Alexander for five runs, four of them on Hogan's second home run of the day—a mammoth _drive into the left field bleachers. That left the score 7 to 4 and there it remained. Up to that time Alexander had outpitched | the youthful left hander for 11 hits,| one of them a four-base drive by Hafey. | Leaves Giants Heavy Losers. | Despite the even split. the Giants were heavy losers. They were pre- sented with a wonderful opportunity to tie for the lead and ended exactly where they started—two games out of first place. They meet the Cards again tomorrow and for the last time on September 30. In the other National League games, the Pittsburgh Pirates trounced the Phillies, 6 to 4, while the Cincinnati Reds were splitting even in two games with the Boston Braves. The Reds won the first game, 7 to 2, but went down in the nightcap. 9 to 5, when the Braves scored eight runs in the first inning. Urban Faber was the master of the situation at Chicago, where the Yankee ship struck a reef and went down with all_hands aboard. The veteran spit- baller held the champions to eight hits in 12 innings and walked off with a 4-t0-3 decision. The Sox tied the score in the eighth, knocking George Pipgras out of the box, and won out in the twelfth on a single, a stolen base and two sacrifices off Waite Hoyt. Before the Yankees finally had gone down at Chicago, the Athletics, thanks to Jack Quinn, had turned back Detroit, 6 to 1. The Tigers got only six hits off Quinn and would have suffered a shut- out but for a fumble by Jimmy Dykes. Bunched hits by the A's were Earl ‘Whitehill's undoing. The St. Louis Browns clinched third place in the standing by defeating the Boston Red Sox, 5 to 2. Alvin Crowder pitched his nineteenth victory of the season against only five defeats.

HE high spot of the year is purely local golf will be reached next week when a small field of the leading players of the Capi- tal will compete at the Co- lumbia Country Club for the District championship now held by George J. Voigt. The ex-Bannockburn star who is still a_ nen-resident member of the Glen Echo Club, is a threc-time winner of the title, and will not defend. We asked him last week at Brae Burn whether he would come to Washington to plav tween the two major league in the championship and he replicd | g that he would not Entries for the District title chase close with Dr. William C. Barr, secre- tary of the District Golf Association at The en- tries must be accompanied by the fec of $2.50. With Voigt out of the picture the championship—a 72-hole medal play affair—should lie between a half-dozen of the stars who have performed well in tournaments about the Capital this vear. Among these are Miller B. Ste- vinson and_Albert R. MacKenzie of Columbia: Harry G. Pitt and A. L. Houghton of Manor: John C. Shorey of Bannockburn, and Page Hufty of Con- | gressional. Roland R. MacKenzie of Columbia has been playing quite a good deal of golf since his return from the amateur championship at Boston and may play in the tourney.

Shorey came to the sixteenth hole need- ing three pars for a 71. He took three putts on the sixteenth green for a 6 and then put his tee shot at the 184- vard seventeenth in the ditch which guards the green.

MERICAN UNIVERSITY co-cds are expecting to begin practice for their class and varsity hockey squads next week under the direction of Dorothy Wulf, physical education instructor. - Three varsity games will constitute the intercollegiate program at A. U. In- terclass games will precede the picking of the varsity eleven if present plans mature. Physical education is compulsory Im“ three years. and the majority of the girls elect hockey in the Fall. according to Miss Wulf, so at least three good class squads are expected to be formed with the probability of a fourth recruit ed from the senior ranks, who may elect sports if they desire. No hockey manager has been named vet, but it is expected that one of the officers of the athletic association. who will be chosen at its first meeting, will be asked to serve in this capacity.

Most average golfers lack bold- ness with their irons. Few ever overapproach a green. The vast m jority drop short. The opposite is true among stars. They boldly go for the greens. It is a rare thing to see one drop short. The principle of bold play with irons has been one reason for the success of Bobby Jones. I recall him chipping back from past the hole on many occasions in the last two United States open championships. Bobby uses this same boldness with marked effect when the wind is high It has served him in good stead to win two British open titles. Here's his recipe: ‘Suppose his approach demanded a No. 2 iron under normal conditions. such as no wind would bring about. Now, suppose a strong wind is blow- ing from the green toward him. Bobby then uses a No. 1 iron and Jets down a bit in power. A ball so hit for some reason or other bores into a head wind. With the wind behind him on such a shot, he would use a mashie- jron (he carries nq No. 3), and he wallops it for keeps. A hard-hit ball with the wind back of it seems to pick up elevation. That carries it farther and tends to add stop at the finish. Good points to bear in mind when the wird worries you. Fully 90 per cent of the golfers slico. The causes are curable.

A woman should never really attemp’ to develop a net game as her major offensive on the tennis court, accord- ing to Willam T. Tilden II. in dis- cussing women's tennis in Plain Talk. “Even Suzanne Lenglen. now a pro- fessional and possibly the finest woman net player the world has ever seen, re- lied on her baseline game to win in singles.” says Mr. Tilden. “‘Helen Wills, excellent vollever that she is, is essen tially a driving plaver. I believe a woman should learn to volley and should advance to the net when she has driven her opponent into a disadvantageous position, bu* T do not believe in a wom- | an ever really attempting to play a net | game.” In other words. the feminine player. | in «the opinion of the former world | champion. may advance to the net suc- cessfully only when she has a decided | edge on her opponent—when she is at- | tacking consistentlv—but she ecannot | defend in_the forecourt, as can her | brother. When playing a netwoman of her own caliber, her position is in the back court and her advances should be the rare exceptions. when she has won a battle of wits and driven her opponent out of position momentarily. Observing the eritical tennis matches between stars of equal or approximatelv | the same ability. we have noticed that | these are invariably the tactics used. | As Tilden says, when it comes to scratch even the greatest of woman players re- | Yies upon her backeourt game, 'SARAZEN IS WINNER OF MET GOLF TITLE Br the Associated Press. NEW YORK. September 21.—Whether it's match play or medal makes no dif- ference to Gene Sarazen.

Yesterday he l | | wound up a three-dav session of match | play at the Quaker Ridge Club by de- feating Craig Wood of Newark, N. J. 2 and 1. in the 36-hole final to retain the championship. On the last round Wood gave the 1922 open champion the toughest battle of | any of ‘his five opponents in the tour- nament. In the morning Sarazen. go- ing at top speed. shot a round of 76 and was 4 up at the end of the first 18 holes. He kept up the pace at the | start of the afternoon round. increasing his margin to six holes at the twenty- first, but there Wood began to turn the vide of battle. The long-hitting Jerss vro won three and halved three of t next six holes to reduce Sarazen's mar- gin to 3 up at the turn. Coming in, Dood captured two holes to Sarazen's one, but five halves en- abled Gene to maintain his lead long enough to end the match on the thirty- fifth green.
