STANDING OF THE CLUBS. who rejoined the club only yesterday, was to start against the Indians this afternoon in the second game of the series: Sam this morning insisted his arm is in good trim once more, and when speaking of his pitching arm Sam does so seriously. The wing looked good yesterday when Jones went through a workout at PDunn Eield, There was much snap to Sam’s slinging, and he declared the drill did not tire the arm at all. But pitching in practice is one thing and pitching in a game is something else. The real test for the Brm was to'come today.

Hodapp played a dashing game at second base for the Tribe, and kept hits away from several of the Nationals. He also held to a single and a solid by Goslin when he rushed back of the middle sack for a spectacular bare-hand pick-up.

The Edmonds and Tremonts are the league's sedi- ment. All the other teams have won half or more ofetheir games. However, it remained for the lowly Edmonds club to make the big noise of the day. It knocked off the strong Brentwood Hawks, 12 to 7, and in doing so _hammered one Ray Francis, who ordinarily is a pitcher of no mean skill. The Dixie Pigs held on to a skinny margin in first place by beating the National Press Building Cardinals, 3 to 1. Warfare was not confined to base ball. Action veered to personal hostilitles in the eighth and“the game was halted while peacemakers did their 7 | stuff. The side skirmish was a draw. ‘The Cardinals want the game replayed.

The Browns protested the game. ‘The Miller Aztecs are tled with the St. Joes for second place, but they had to fight the Tremonts like Spartans to stay up there.

ROVER CLEVELAND ALEXANDER'S campaign to best Christy ‘Mathewson’s mark of 372 winning ball games, a mark that Alexander has passed, recalls a pitching record that is a record. 1t belongs to a sedate, heavyweight golf player by the name of Denton Tecumseh (Cy) Young, once known as the Paoli Phenom. Cy turned in something like 511 major league victories before he decided to give the old salary whip a rest and take up golf. With all the pitching greatness of Matty and Alex, they are still 129 victories back of the old-time Ohio farmer who stepped out against Pop Anson’s hard-hitting Chicago team in his first game, 39 years ago, to strike out nine men and hold his opponents to three hits. Young started his career 11 years before Matty began apd 21 years ahead of Alexander. But he was pitching 11 years after Big Six broke in and the Phillies. ‘When such pitching stars as Matty and Alexander remain 129 victories back of Young's mark you can begin to esti- mate the stuff Cy must have carried in his arm, his head and his heart. Stand- ing over 6 feet, weighing over 200 | pounds, Young in addition to a great arm had a cool head and a stout heart. He had marvelous control and was at his best in a pinch where he had to bear down. He always took the sport- ing chance, rather than the safe route. I recall a game he pitched for Boston against Cleveland around 1907. There were runners on second and third with two out and Lajole up. The safe plan would have been to walk La- jole, who was batting around .380, and take a shot at the next man. Young, 83| however, pitched to Larry and struck him out. Year after year Cy was good for a winning turn between 25 and 30 games. There has been no'other pitcher who could be as surely counted on to turn in a_winning quota, season after season. The f is that his star suc- cessors are still over a hundred winning games away. e Locating & Champion.

Few Today's Golf Roundup. “When I was\teaching golf.” remarks Tommy McNamara, one of the best ol he worked two seasonis after Alexander opened fire for the old guard, “I figured the most im- portant feature was to make the pupil realize the importance of using his hands and wrists in swinging the club head. I frequently made some pupil keep his legs and body stiff enough to stay out of the swing, using his hands and wrists and arms to hit the ball. In this way I could make the player get the feel of swinging the club head. Later on I would let him ease up with legs and body, but by that time he had at least realized that the hands were the main factors. in swinging the head of the club through the ball. The average golfer is trying to hit the ball with his hips, shoulders and body. He must be made to understand what the correct use of the hands means before he has any foundation to build on. .This goes for every club in the bag from driver to putter. “The main idea is to hit the ball, to hit with the head of the club and to use the hands in the right way to ac- complish this purpose.” JIM THORPE’S NEPHEW | SIGNED BY CARDINALS| SHAWNEE, Okla, August 19 (#).— Irsel Wilson, 19-year-old outfielder, a nephew of Jim Thorpe, famous Indian athlete, has been signed by the St. Louis Cardinals.
