ESTBURY, N. Y., Septem- ber 11.—America, her | supremacy in the polo world for years built around the talented arisfocrats of Meadowbrook’s classic s¢hool, to- day can bestow a large portion of the credit for her latest triumph over Great Britain to the sharp- shooting son of California—Eric Pedley. Six years ago this square-jawed, hard- riding and hard-hitting horseman gal- | loped in from the Far West to become | 8 sensation on Eastern fields, but the | best they conceded him that year was s substitute’s role when international «competition rolled around. ‘This Summer; Pedley, now 34, came on again to thrust his way through all opposition, and clinched the all-impor- tant No. 1 position on the new American *“Big Four.” Yesterday, in the second and deciding match of the International Cup series, he was the outstanding star and scoring ace in the spectacular clos- ing rally that gave America a 14-to-9 victory over Britain and clinched pos- gession of the trophy for another period of three years. First Westerner to “Crash.” The first Westerner ever to “crash” the famous American “Big Four,” Ped- ley signalized his baptism in interna- tional competition by leading the scor- ing in each of the two successive vic- tories scored over the British chal- lengers. He contributed five goals in the opening match last Saturday, which America won by 10-5, and he tal- lied the astonishing total of 8 yes- terday for an aggregate of 13 in two games and a record for International Cup play. The vital part of the story, however, {s that Pedley ran wild with his mallet when it was most needed. He had bril- liant support and help from Earle A. &, Hopping, the 22-year-old No. 2 man, as well as from the great American cap- tain, Tommy Hitcheock, but the Call- fornian was deadly from any and all angles when goals were needed to save the United States from -defeat. He scored six times in the last three periods and tallied the last five succes- sive American goals during the spurt that overcame the early British lead and finally put the challengers to rout. ‘The five goals by Pedley were the margin by which the cup defenders captured the deciding match. America Hard Pressed. Not since 1914 has America been harder pressed by a British polo team than was Capt. Htlntchooekt:flnfl‘:t:-chg array yes y s an hard-fought a match classic. se<" ries has ever witn . For five of the eight periods the challengers, bat- tling desperately to win and extend the series to three games, gave the highly favored Americans a terrific band-to-hand and horse-to-horse fight. ntine, Lewis atedly broke efense, riding #0 desperately hard that ome of his mounts went down with a broken leg and had to be destroyed. ‘Three times the British front, only to be overhau by perate counter-charges led by Hitch- cock. The Americans missed many chances, so hard were they , and Pedley was blanketed by is burly opponent, Lieut. Humphrey Guiness. At the close of the fifth chuk- ker, the British led, 7 to 6, and the Americans were dismayed as their star back, Winston Guest, tumbled from his horse in a mixup and narrowly es- ca zerious injury. e tide turned abruptly and spec- tacularly in the sixth. Where they had been missing easy shots, Pedley and Hopping suddenly found the range. Hitchcock fed the ball at long range to his forwards and each scored twice to give the Americans a 10-7 lead and, for the first time, a commanding margin. Guest, instead of damaged, became inspired on defense. It was still a desperate fight, but the ‘Yankee horsemen were finally going at top speed and getting results. Lacey Tires, Ponies Wilt. ‘The slightly built Lacey, weighing fess than 150 pounds, tired. The British nies seemed to lose the edge from heir earlier speed. Pedley roamed all over the field, scoring with beautiful back-hand and sharply angled shots. He was again the Pedley of the test matches, & human scoring machine, and the British defense was swept aside by his barrage, The American victory was the eighth straight over Great Britain in four cup battles since the war. Not since 1914 have the British been triumphant. This ear, misfortune pursued the chal jengers. They lost their two No. 1 men and were forced to revamp the line-up | 8 week before the series started. This involved shifting Gerald Balding to No. 1, a new post for him, and his mnmmyi to score consistently was costly. Bald- | ing tallied only 3 goals in two matches, as compared to the 13 scored by Pedley, the difference being exactly the margin between the aggregate scores of the two teams. Lacey was the outstanding performer for the British, scoring half their goals, and for the first four periods yesterday he was the best polo player on the field. | HITLESS IN PINCHES ‘WASHINGTON.

Y., September 11.— Minus the defending champion, the Professional Golfers’ Asso- ciation’s championship swung into the quarter-final round today with Gene Sarazen the only former title- holder remaining and seven other vet- erans fighting for the crown vacated yesterday by Leo Diegel. Diegel, who has held the title for two years, fell by the wayside when he was unahle to cope with the short but ac- curate game of Harold s;::rmn, 35- year-old. 118-pound Califc an, Leo dropped the decision on the thirty- eighth hole after squaring the match at the end of the regulation 36 holes.

McLarnin Is 6-to-5 Favorite Over Singer for Bout Tonight By the Asgociated Press. EW YORK, September 11.— With nothing but his repu- tation at stake, Al Singer, youthful king of the light- weights, takes on Jimmy McLarnin, tough two-fisted welterweight, in a 10-round bout at the Yankee Sta- dium tonight. Despite the fact that McLarnin will outweigh Singer by six pounds, the betting marts refuse to offer better than 7 to 5 on the 23-year-old Vancouver slugger, who has knocked out such top-notchers as dJackie Fields, Sammy Baker, Ruby Gold- stein, Louls Kid Kaplan and Sid Terris. Singer sought the bout and will have no alibis if laid low or outpointed by Jimmy. McLarnin has campaigned in every division from the flyweights to the welters at one time or the other, conquering a half dozen champions elther before or after they won their titles, but never at weight. For his size and inches, Jimmy is just about the best two-fisted hitter in the game today. Although the fight will not be broadcast, the ever faithful have been slow to rally to the box office. Emerson, With Keller Coaching, Looks to Big Year on Gridiron BY FRANCIS E. STAN. 174 LL right, gang, let's have that A again.

What we've got to do.,.." And so on all afternoon, until the Emerson squad begins to lag a little and darkness comes on. A casual glance at the speaker would afford the observer little else besides the impression that he was just one of the “boys"—doing a little coaching. Close observation of the rotund figure directing the Emerson grid squad and an ear to what he says would indicate that he knows what he’s talking about. Bill Keller is the new Emerson coach couragement to HICAGO, September 11 (®.—The defeat by Brooklyn of the Chi- cago Cubs yesterday, in the nerve-wracking National League pennant race precipi- tated the Superior Exchange of the Chicago telephone system into one of the worst tangles of its experience last night. The reason was a notice ap- pearing in the early editions of the Tribune announcing that a telegram of encouragement was to be sent to Manager Joe McCarthy and members of the Cubs team, and inviting sup- porters of the club to telephone it -they' desired their names signed.

He wants no sham scrimmage, but the real rough stuff. And he always has an encouraging word for the boys. Big Bill—and he's plenty big, stands 6 feet and weighs 260 pounds—is not only the biggest coach in point of size, but also is the youngest scholastic mentor in the city—he’s only 23. And he’s not without some laurels himself. For three years he held down a guard post on the University of Southern California grid team, receiving All- American mention in his last year. Keller also was the regular backstop on the Trojan base ball team for two years, being tabbed a bright prospect for professional ball. Keller was coach of the Woodward School last year. When N. E. Hodges, principal of the Emerson Day School, shifted from Woodward to Emerson this year Keller went with him. 1t is doubtful if there is a more ardent foot ball booster than Hodges. A former star in '23 and '24, when he played quarterback for Ohio State, the Emer- son principal is enthusiastic over the team’s prospects. “We look to a big year in foot ball,” avers Hodges. *“We've got a good bunch of boys, and a good coaching staff in Keller and Sanborn, though I don't know if he will take the foot ball team or act in the capacity of athletic director only.” Ernie Millar is Keller's assistant. In truth, Emerson’s prospects are far from dull. Despite the fact that yester- day's scrimmage was the first real one of the season, the Red squad looked impressive. Among former local high school boys there are Jim Draper, Freer, Payne, Quincy Owens and Albert, formerly of ‘Western; Charlie Millar, Montague, Chalkley, McCarthy - and Healy of Eastern; Duryee of Business and E. Heflin and O. Heflin of Tech. Hender- son, former Alexandria High athlete and an All-State choice at guard last year, looms as a bulwark on the line. Other promising players include Ward, Connell and Fauntleroy. TITLE SERIES IS EVEN. GREENVILLE, S.

SQUADRON of traffic police is needed along the road to the National League pen- nant. All the efforts of the teams from Chicago, St. Louis, Brooklyn and New York to get to the championship only have re- sulted in one of the greatest jams that highway ever has seen. Yesterday's contests brought the Brooklyn Robins and St. Louis Cardi- nals a game closer to Chicago’s league- leading Cubs. The New York Giants, in fourth place, remained only three games behind the top. With Adolfo Luque shutting out the National League champions with five hits, the Robins made it two straight over the Cubs by a 6-to-0 count. Cards Have Point Margin. St. Louis retained its one-point grip on second place as Jim Bottomley's eighth-inning home run gave the Cards a 5-to-3 victory over the Giants. ‘The standing: Club. ‘Won. Lost. Pet. Chicago ... 80 38 .580 St. Louls 3 Brooklyn 4 New York 8 588 ‘The Robins ran out of their dugout yesterday to greet Charley Root, and promptly started running around the | bases. Five men faced Root and all of them hit. Then Jess Petty came to the rescue and allowed one more blow, which brought the Brooklyn's first-in~ ning total up to five runs before he cast a spell over the Robins that lasted until he left the game in the eighth inning. Then they scored their sixth run of Lynn Nelson. ‘The Giants and Cardinals started out for a second pitchers’' battle, with Fred Fitzsimmons opposed to Sylvester John- son. The Giants forged ahead slowly, getfing one run in the first, which St. Louis equaled in the third, and two more in the sixth when Frank Hogan clouted a home run with one mate on base. But the eighth inning overcame all their labor. High's single and Adams’ double accounted for one tally. Then Frisch hit and Bottomley smac! ed the ball against the upper deck of the stands for a home run and the ball game. » Zachary Wins Game. ‘Tom Zachary's four-hit pitching and Wally Berger's thirty-fourth home run gave the Boston Braves a 5-to-0 triumph over the Pittsburgh Pirates, while steady and timely hitting by the lhulu-u enabled them to defeat Cin- cinnati. ‘Washington failed to take advantage of an opportunity to tighten up the American League pennant chase. It lost to St. Louls, 3 to 2, and remained 6% games behind the Philadelphia Ath- letics, who were not successful with their four blows off Vic Sorrell. They failed to score, while the Detroit Tigers bunched a good part of their five hits off Shores and Walberg for four runs in the fourth inning and won by that margin. A home run with two aboard by Recruit Frank Doljack furnished most of the scoring. Danny MacFayden of Boston was not far behind in the day’s hurling feats, as he gave the Chicago White Sox only six hits while the Red Sox hammered out a 6-to-2 victory. Henry Johuson of New York had the honor of outpitching Wes- ley Ferrell, Cleveland's young ace, to give the Yankees their second straight triumph over the Indians, 7 to 2, and to enable them to hold their mathe- matical chance of capturing the flag.

Fortunes of war pitted Tilden against the same opponent he met in the quar- ter-final round of last year's tourna- ment—Johnny Van Ryn. On that occasion Big Bill turned back the former Princeton captain in four sets after a hard it. That Tilden has all his shots worl at concert pitch was indicated yesterday when he down- ed Lyttletond Rogers, 6-foot 7-inch Irish Davis Cup ace, 6—4, 6—1, 6—2. Van Ryn displayed his usual well rounded game in_ downing Frederick Perry, one of the best of the younger English players, 4—6, 6—3, 6—4, 6—1. Hunter, facing big Johnny Doeg in another quarter-final in the same half o draw, was given only an outside chance to win. Doeg needed only three sets to dispose of Harold G. N. Lee of the English contingent, 8—8, 6—1, 6—4, and Hunter repeated his victory of last season’s tournament over Richard N. Willlams, 7—5, 6—2, 6—4. In the upper half of the draw the youngsters rule eme, with 19-year- old Frank - Shiel Doeg 21. Shields and Sutter provided the big sensations of yesterday’s play in dis- posing of two fighting Texans, Wilmer Allison and Berkeley Bell, respectively, in a palr of stirring five-set struggles. Both had their hands more than full today, with Shields meeting the hard- hitting Mangin and Sutter opposing the happy-go-lucky Wood. » CARDS GET ANOTHER | “WALTER JOHNSON” Dizzy Dean, 19, 8 Feet 4 Inches! and Weighing 185, Impresses Pilot Street With Pitching. By the Associated Press. ' ST. LOUIS, September 11.—Another “Walter Johnson” has joined the Cardi- nal pitching staff, according to word ay from Manager Gabby Street to | ofcials of the club here. The latest “Walter Johnson” is Je- rome (Dizzy) Dean, 6 feet 4 inches tall and only 19 years old, with a displace- ment of 185 pounds. Dean, who pitched for St. Joseph in the Western League and later for Houston in the Texas League, joined the Cardinals in New York yesterday. Gabby had heard o his work, so he lost no time in warm- ing him up, after which he had noth- ing but words of praise for his stuff. Dean won 25 games this year, 17 with St. Joseph and 8 with Houston, while losing only 10. His record is all the more impressive because the St. Joseph club was a basement aggrega- n. Tony Kaufmann, another Houston flinger, who has been pitching in the majors and minors for several years, also joined the Cardinals yesterday. With "Houston he won 7 and lost 2. His arm came back this year after hav- ing “gone dead” a couple of years ago. Street plans to use Kaufmann as a re- lief hurler.

LOUIS, September 11.— Having gone through sev- :S eral innings after starting a | game and toiled successfully | twice in a relief role, Fred Mar- berry, big pitcher put out of com- { mission little more than a month ago by a broken wrist, is regarded | as ready to take his turn on the { hill regularly again for the Na- | tionals. Manager Walter Johnson is satisfled the right-hander is in good trim once more and plans to start him against the White Sox tomorrow in the opener of the four-game series in Chicago. For several days Marberry had com- plained of soreness in the wrist that was injured when he slid into third base in a game of the double-header in New York on August 2. However, the big fellow went through a long work-out here yesterday and afterward declared the soreness had :one. Fred is more eager to perform regularly once more for he wants the chance to run his victory string this season to 20 games. He'll have to do plenty of pitching in the less than ree weeks remaining in the season to reach this goal, as he needs six more wins. But Fred is willing to try. The Nationals will enter the Chicago series rather certain to make the White Sox one of the clubs from which an annual series will have been grabbed. They have licked Manager Bush’s outfit 11 times in 18 starts and need but one more win to clinch the yearly set. Chi- cago has been no soft spot for the Na- tionals this season. However, in Char- ley Comiskey's big park they have dropped four of seven engagements. The last time there they were beaten three times in four games. IAM JONES seems to have a very tired arm and Manager Johnson does not expect to work the ven- erable right-hander until the series in Cleveland, which starts next Tuesday. In fact, Jones may not toil in that set for his arm seemed to have collapsed to such an extent that Trainer Mike Martin believes it might be better if the veteran would retire for the re- mainder of the season. Jones been badly battered early in his last three starts and forced out of action. Sam is doing little throwing now. He tires ttllckly. and even at the start of drills able to get little on the ball. Before his arm went back on him Jones Was regarded the most dependable of the Washington mound corps. Fortu- nately for his club, indeed, that this in his seventeenth sea- as long as he did this year. UNISHMENT to the extent of & day’s suspension and a fine of $100 handed Dave Harris for his run- in with Umpire Moriarty in Tuesday's game is more severe than that in- flicted upon any other Washington ball player in the memory of the oldest member of the club. Several yeers ago Bucky Harris drew a $100 fine, but the punishment was handed down as a manager and not as a player. The largest fine imposed on a Washington player before Dave Harris drew the fat one was $50, ac- cording to the club veterans. Joe Judge drew that ome. Notified that while his suspension SiEule to play agan untl the Ane of eligible ay aj un e of $100 was , Harris lost no time for- warding check for the amount to American League headquarters in Chi | cago. He was in line for service today. Harris first was told he was to lay off for three days and pay only & $25 fine, but when informed the Lgl-yer was the only extra outflelder with the Na- tionals, the league headquarters moder- ated the punishment so far as the sus- pension was concerned. But 1t cost Harris $37.50 per day to have the sus- pension lightened. L CROWDER limited the Browns to Just four hits yesterday in the second game of the series here, but, just the same, the Nationals took 8 3-t0-2 licking and now are down one game to this 8t. Louis club on the sea- son series. The best ible now for the Was| outfit his yearly set hington f| with Killefer's bunch is an even break and to get that it would have to score its eleventh win of the campaign over the Browns today. The Nationals collected eight safeties off Dick Coffman yer day and also were handed five pass.. by the tall, blond young man. Getting hits when hits meant runs, though, was some- thing difficult for them, and while they managed to chase Coffman from the hill in the ninth they were stopped cold by his successor, George Blae- holder. T was an error by Cronin and CGrow- der’s lone pass that gave the Browns a head start on the Nationals. Cronin’s misplay put Kress on first base at the outset of the second inning and the pass to Schulte followed. Melillo fouled to Ruel, but Ferrell smote a two- bagger that sent over two runs. e Nationas, who in the first inning got two hits and as many walks only to leave the bases full, managed to tally in the fifth with Rice’s single, West's infleld erasure and Manush’s double. But the Browns came back in the sixth to score. Blue doubled, but was nipped at third base when Metzler bunted. After Goslin ped out, Metzler swi) second and thus was ition to count when Kress drove a single through McLeod. seemed the Nationals might grab the game out of the fire in the ninth when they fillled the bases. With to | Ruel out of the way Hayes singled and checked in third when Shires picked up Crowder’s bat and doubled. Then Rice walked to crowd the sacks. West, zh.ou[h, merely lifted a foul that Ferrell Manush's walk forced Hayes over the counting block and Coffman out of the Blaeholder came on to pitch to Cronin and Cronin’s best was a roller YER had an X-ray made of his injured wrist and the picture showed nothing more than a sprain . « « Buddy may be back in the game tomorrow . . .
