—12 MAKE FINE RECORD IN UPSETTING DOPE Hargrave Is Big Noise on Attack in 8-to-4 Win Over the Tigers. BY JOHN B. KELLER. ETROIT, September 19.— Nothing to worry about so far as second place is con- cerned. By beating the Tigers 8-to-4 yesterday, the John- son band made certain of the run- ner-up notch. made a whale of a fight for the pennant, but it was just a bit be- yond them. Washington fans may understand they had a wonderful ball club. Here's an outfit that was picked sev- | enth by all the so-called experts in | the Spring and yet it man§®ed to over- | come five others which were rated higher. | Here's a club that is not supposed to be so hot, according to many ob- | gervers who have tried to figure ‘em out, and yet it has the temerity to/| fight its way to a good money-making | position in the American League race. This team, under Walter Johnson, | created the biggest upset in & league race this year. It was better than even those who accompanied it in its train- ing period believed. It broke well at the first of the season and carried on to give its keenest rivals & great fight. That it lost is nothing against its man- ager or its players. ‘Was| ' gm should regard_this ball dwl”fl as one of the finest that ever wore a r:;ufin;mnug&m It fought gamely. Hi a more r in its ls’ecvmdm’y defense it would m given the Athletics plenty more trouble than it did. JAM MCcKINLEY HARGRAVE,| “Pinky,” stole all the horors as| far as slugging was concerned yes- | terday as the Nationals clinched sec- ond-place money by beating the Tigers in the first of a three-game series. ‘William McKinley poled out a home run, a triple and a double in four times at bat. His homer came with the bases empty. His triple narrowly missed being @ second home run. It would have been a homer in any other park. It came in the sixth inning with no one on the paths. It drove Left Fielder ‘Tom Hughes back to the fence, where he watched it bounce on the top of the fence and back onto the field. Navin Fleld is the only park in the American League where that could happen. Any other place, if the ball bounded back onto the field, the umpires would have ruled it a circuit clout. Hargrave's double also came within a few feet of being & homer. It hammered against the scoreboard in center field just short of going over the fence. The blow sent Harris, who had singled, around to third, from where he scored on Al Crowder’s infield out. Honors for driving in runs went to Joe Judge, who is acting as manager now that Walter Johnson has gone on to Washington. Joe collected two sin- in four times at bat. His first, in fifth, drove Sam Rice and Heinie Manush across the pan with two of the Nationals’ eight runs. His second en- abled him to score personally in_the eighth on Hayes' infield out after Har- ris’ one-ply blow had sent him third. Judge drove in his third ru in the fourth, when he sent Joe Cronin across the registering block with his sacrifice fiy to center.

ASE BALL was shedding its rough-neck habits for bet- ter manners when Connie Mack stepped into the managerial arena to manifest at |once his genius for organizing | championship clubs. A product of the sandlots and ‘the “rock ’em and sock ’em” days | himself, Mack was the first big | league manager to comb the col- iege ball teams for talent. | The game was becoming a more fashionable sport. Mack did not consider a college diploma a han- dicap to prospective recruits, nor share the derisive attitude of old- timers toward the boys who did noble deeds for the alma mater. Mack's development of players with | 1ittle or no professional experience soon earned him the name of the “Tall Tutor” and “The Professor.” Connie looked more like a sedate college teach- er of ancient history than the type generally associated with the manage- ment of big league ball clubs. Of kind- ly and sympathetic nature, his reputa- tion attracted ambitious youngsters. | They were given a hearing and some advice, if not an actual trial. I was in Mack's office years later at hibe Park one morning when a loose, gangling youth, cap in hand, made a somewhat embarrassed entrance. A plea to see “Mr. Mack” had got him by the gate tender. Connie looked up, indicating no trace of annoyance at the interruption. The youth blushed, told how he had been pitching for a team up in the Pennsylvania coal towns and confessed he'd like to “get a job.” Mack asked him a few questions, sent him down to_the club house for a uniform and later inspection in practice. “He may not have a thing, but he's ambitious enough to come down here to see me,” sald Mack. “Perhaps we can start him off right. It's part of the game to give these boys a chance. And, who knows, he might be a real prospect?” This was typical of the encourage- ment, patience and kindliness by which Mack helped in the development of hundreds of major league players. 'O of the stars of Mack's first championship team in 1902 were lucked from wn!tg: ranks—Eddie Pla: of Gettysburg, the great south- paw pitcher, and Dave Fultz of Brown, who played center field. In later years such stars as Jack Coombs, Eddie Col- lins, Jack Barry, Chick Galloway, Mickey Cochrane and George Earn- THE EVENING § CONNIE MACK Inthe late 80s as catcher with the Washington Nationals shaw came to the Athletics with college reputations. It was still a trifle early in the game to depend mostly on educated perform- ers in 1902, however, so Mack sur- rounded himself with plenty of soned, rough-and-ready talent. Naj leon Lajoie and Elmer Flick were at- tracted from the National League, along with Chick PFraser, a noted pitcher. ‘The A’s had a wonderful infield, with Harry Davis at first, Lajoie at second, Monte Cross at shortstop and Lave Cross at third base. In the outfield were Flick, Hartsel and Fultz; behind the bat, Powers and Schreckengost; in the box, Fred Mitchell, Fraser, Rube TAR, WASHINGTO! By Alan Gould Sports Editor the Associated Press. HIS 50 YEARS IN BASE BALL up by a Supreme Court ruling depriving the club of the players who had jumped from the National League, but Mack plugged the holes and won his first pennant nevertheless, beating out St. Louis and Boston. Waddell, Danny Murphy and Socks Seybold were among the replacements and the team put on a sensational spurt, coming up from last place to win the pennant. Seybold led the home run sluggers with 16, a tremendous total in those days. 'N Waddell, the great southpaw, and Ossie Schreck, the A’'s of 1902 put together one of the most colorful batteries of all time. Both were eccen- tric, often comic, yet among the most briliiant performers the game has ever had. Mack had handled the erratic Wad- dell while at Milwaukee. He knew how to get the most out of the Rube’s undoubted talent. “He was a big fellow with tremendous speed,” Mack said. “But, unfortunately, he had the brain of a child. When he was right he was as nearly unbeatable as any pitcher I have ever seen.” There have been many legends about ‘Waddell, chief among them the notion that he had a habit of calling in his outfielders, then striking out the side. It is, however, a pleasant fiction de- veloped solely from the fact that the Rube did this stunt several times in exhibition games, but never in actual league competition. Schreck had the eccentric habit of doing as much of his backstopping as possible with his gloved hand only. This worried Mack, who considered it care- less workmanship until Schreck finally convinced his manager he could do a better job one-handed than with two. Once when Waddell, in an exhibif stunt, called in the infleld as well as outfield and struck out the side, Schreck added to the novelty by catching every ag.ch one-handed from a sitting posi- n. NE day, at St. Louis in 1908, Schreck smashed a thumb as the climax to accidents putting all of Mack’s backstoppers on the casualty list. “If you are worrying about who's going to catch, quit it,” Schreck told Mack. “I'm going to do it. Put the Rube in, that's all I ask.” Schreck caught every pitch with his | gloved hand and threw out every St. Louis runner who tried to steal despite the bandaged And Athletics won.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, September 20.—So close is the race for the American Association batting championship that the result may not be definitely known until offt- clal averages are released, some time next Winter. With but four games to go, Charlie High of Minneapolis held a 3-point margin over his closest rival, “Bevo” Lebourveau of Toledo, in the unofficial averages, while Mel Simons of the Louisville Colonels ranked third, only 9 digits away. High, a member of the celebrated High base ball family, skidded 1 point to & .382 average during the next to last week of play, but held his margin | when Lebourveau's mark slumped from | 381 4o 3.

The Fourth Stand. OBBY JONES is now on his way to Merion just 14 years after his first start for the Philadelphia bat- tlefield. He is now twice as old as he was on that first visit, which was to launch one of the most famous of all careers in sport. ‘The Georgian expects to get in about three days of final inspection, although Merion is a _course he knows well and plays well. It is & course replete with win his fourth and final assignment of the season. ‘Taking in the general situation, this should be the easiest of the four tourna- ments, but it is often under just such conditions that the lead pipe falls across one's neck. St. Andrew's, Hoy- lake and Interlachen all presented greater difficulties, considering all the circumstances, but golf is no game to take for granted, no matter who the entry is. A year ago Jones had just broken the course record at Pebble Beach in three straight rounds, only to fall in his first match before a young golfer hardly known outside of his own district.

The strategians for the Athletics seem to have wasted a lot of time watching the other pennant con- tenders in the National League, while neglecting the Cards. The New York, Brooklyn and Chicago teams all had been scouted when St. Louis suddenly burst on the horizon and caught all thg scouts burrowing around somewhere else.

I don't believe he can save him out this time. He will be needed to start and go all the way and if he meets Hallahan it will be a scrap all the way.” Sectional Strength. N the coming championship at Merion sectional strength will be almost evenly split. The East will have such stars as George Voigt, Ouimet, Perkins, Findlay (Harvard), Homans, Moffett and Guilford. ‘The Middle West will have Johnston, Goodman, Von Elm, Lehman, George Dawson and Knepper. The Far West will present Moe, Willing, Lawson Little, Fay Coleman, Brown, McHugh, Bon Stein and Seaver. The Southern forces will be led again by Bobby Jones. ‘The strength of the Pacific Coast will be especially notable. In this connec- tion the Far West can claim half of Von Elm, who divides much of his time between Detroit and Las Angeles. Don Moe will be one of the best men in the fleld. Doc Willing is always dangerous. Lawson Little, the young golfer who beat Goodman last Fall and carried Ouimet to the final green, will bear a Iot of watching. He has more experi- ence now and can't be overlooked. Charley Seaver is another long hitter and low scorer from the other coast. As an average proposition the Far West may take the lead in the way of sectional strength. There are eight or nine entries from this section who can play a lot of golf, players who have been improving steadily. As there will be only 32 to qualify, the scramble here will be one of the hardest ever known in a championship. There are more good golfers now who are able to break 75 than the game has ever known. Out of the field there must be 50 or 60 headed for Merion | who_ordinarily can count upon a 74 | or 75, with possibilities of lower figures. | But the strain of qualifying usually tells another story.

GOODMAN PLAYING WELL IN PRACTICE Youngster Who Upset Bobby Last Year Hoping for Second Meeting. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. HILADELPHIA, September P 20—No one is attracting more attention at the Mer- jon Cricket Club, where the national amateur golf champion- ship tournament begins Monday, than Johnny Goodman, the tiny sharpshooter from Omaha. Good- man won undying fame a year ago when he defeated Bobby Jones in the first round of the amateur, when the Georgian was the outstanding favorite to win and make it three victories in a Tow. To this writer it seems that Good- man not only is a better golfer than last year, but also a more modest one. Asked if he would like to meet Bob Jones again, he said: “Bobby Jones! Gee, I only hope I meet him again! You see, Bobby is so much a greater golfer than I am that I would like to meet him again. It's one of the great- est honors and pleasures for which a contestant may hope.” Johnny admits he never even dreamed of beating Bobby at Pebble Beach, and that the greatest day of his life was when he conquered the Georgian. Goodman still is under the voting age, but hss been playing golf for seven or eight years. Started as Caddy. Johnny tells of how one day his g was taking a hike in the country an ed a golf course. I thought caddying would be a pretty good way to earn some money,” he said, “so I stopped off and got myself a job. I caddied two years, and thought I was rather good swinging a club. So in 1923, when the Omaha City cham- plonship came along, I borrowed a set of clubs and entered. The borrowed clubs must have had a lot of sympathy for me, since I won the championship. Then I kept on. I won the State cham- pionship, qualified for the national and finally gnb Bobby Jones.” Johnny says that after he beat Jones last Summer he was so nervous for two hours he could do nothing, and Lawson Little of San Francisco beat him in the second-round match. But Johnny believes he will be able to overcome that nervousness if he meets Jones again. Goodman is_playing keen golf in his practice rounds here and should qualify easily for the championship. Harrison Johnston of St. Paul, the defending amateur champion, believes the spade mashie will be one of the most valuable clubs in the forthcoming championship. “Of course, it is difficult to general- ize on things like this,” he said, “be- cause there is such a wide difference in the types of game played by the various contestants here. But off- hand I would say the championship will go to the player who can best handle a spade mashie, since several holes at Merion d@hmnnd that club for the proper-approach.” Jo‘l’mswn said that if he is beaten he will remain along the sidelines to root for Bob Jones and that seems to be the opinion of every one entered in the championship. “If I cannot win, I want Bcbgy to,” is the remark of every entrant. . May Bar Sand Wedge. The writer was told today that the . 8. G. A. Implements Committee would take up the legality of the “sand wedge” during the amateur champion- . Some of the committee members believe the club is quite proper, but others do not. “You go into a golf shop and pur- chase a shot when you.buy a sand wedge,” was what one member of the committee said. “There have been other concave clubs in the past, buf none developed so nicely as this and it’s almost impossible to miss a trap shot with . be barred from U. 8. G. A. competi- tions, although Bob Jones and several other amateur stars use the club. One of the most interesting figures in the championship is Brig. Gen. Cecil Critchley of London and St Andrews. Critchley at 27 was the youngest general in the British Army, making the jump from lieutenant to general in four years. He seems to be entered in the championship to root for Bob Jones, but he is not alone, for every one else seems to have the same thought. BIG LEAGUE LEADERS | By the Associated Press.

Concor- Abi- OBBY MCcWATT, for whom the amateur - professional benefit STRAIGHT O was played last Tuesday at the Columbia Country Club, will receive be- tween $4,100 and $4,300 as a result of the generosity of those who paid their way through the gate to witness the golf king and “his three associates in | W. action. With a final check-up on the amount raised from the match scheduled for today, A. F. Bergman, secretary of the Middle Atlantic Professional Golfers’ Association, announced that his figures indicated a little more than $4,100 had been raised. He added that some money still is outstanding and that robabl, e fun g‘.sm ly the d will go to nearly Bobby McWatt, the popular little professional for whom the match was staged, who has been unable to earn a living for more than two years be- cause of injuries suffered in an auto- mobile accident, has changed his mind about lrenflin( the money for a minia. ture golf course. Bobby now wants real, man-sized golf course of the pub- lic fee character to which he can give his whole time and which he thinks will assure him a competence for the rest of his life. McWatt now lives in Hampton, Va., near Old Point Comfort, and believes the situation is ripe for a public golf course in that neck of the woods. There is no public fee course anywhere on that side of Hampton Roads, although there are several in and near Norfolk. ‘The total raised is somewhat disap- pointing to the sponsors of the match, who estimated that there were between 3,000 and 3,500 persons present last ‘Tuesday But_their estimate has not yet been checked, and meanwhile it has become known that Clark C. Griffith, an authority on estimating crowds, placed the number at not more than 2,500.

BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, Jr. Associated Press Sports Writer. HE second division clubs of thg National League, three of whiall have no hopes of improving their present positions, hawa some fine opportunities ahead for upw setting the apple carts of the threw contenders for the championship. ‘The Phillies, doomed #o finish in the cellar, already have caused a lot of trouble for Chicago’s Cubs and yester« day they gave the league-leading St Louis Cardinals a great run for thelr money before going down, 7 to 3. They meet the Cards four more times in the next few days, then have one crack at Brooklyn. Pittsburgh's Pirates, who only lost their mathematical chance of finis] first as the Cards won yesterday, sf today in a two-game series with the Robins and finish their season with four games in St. Louis. The Chicago Cubs, who gained a tie with Brooklyn for second place yester= day as they took a close decision from Boston, 5 to 4, find themselves involved with the Braves and Cincinnati for the rest of the season. A sudden spurt om the part of any one of these four trafl- ers could cause serlous damage to the hopes of its rivals. How Leaders Stand. But that spurt falled to materiallas yesterday and this is how the three leaders stand: Club. Pct. G.B.T.P, St. Louis 589 ... 8 Brooklyn 63 571 2}2 1 Chieago . 63 571 216 T A five-run rally in the seventh inning won for the league leaders yesterday and enabled them to gain a half game on the idle. Robins, but it did not appear until Chuck Klein had given them a scare by his thirty-%venth and thirty- eighth home runs of the year to send the Phillies off ahead. Fidgety Phil Collins held the Cards under control until the seventh, when two doubles, two singles and two hit batsmen brought them five runs and settled the game. ‘The Cubs had an even closer call before they gained a tie with Brooklyn. Off to a four-run lead against Tom Zachary in the first two innings, they allowed the Braves to tie the score. A dfimble l:; (]}abbiognret:eu, and George Kelly’s single produced the winning run in the ninth. Giants’ Task Hopeless. The New York Giants had an easy triumph over Cincinhati, winning, 7 to 0, behind Bill Walker’s twe-hit Dltch!léf But they failed to gain on the Cardi- nals and have a mathematically possi« ble but otherwise hopeless task to gain 5! games in the 7 they have left. The newly crowned American champions, the Philadelphia Athletics, spent an idle day before they open in St. Louis watching a slugging match between the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox. The Yanks wom by an 18-to-9 score, making 21 hits, including Lou Gebrig's fortieth homer of the season. Washington's Senators, recent com tenders for the title, clinched second place in the standing as they defeated the Detroit Tigers, 8 to 4. The Cleveland Indians, who took one of the few .doubtful positions in -the standing, having an opportunity of tak- ing third or of dropping to fifth, got an early start against the Boston Red Sox and won the other game on the day’'s schedule, 7 to 5. All the Indians’ runs were scored in the first two ine nings against Danny MacFayden. FF THE TEE Zimmermann, Neil Burkenshaw vs, James Brownell, F, E. Lewis vs. L. A, Spiess, G. W. McCarter vs. D. N.

Chevy Chase was eliminated from the series last Sunday through its defeat at the hands of the Elkridge Hunt Club. Co- lumbia will play host to the Forest Park golfers at Columbia.
