BETTERS EMPEROR INPRACTICE MATCH Shoots 68 Against Jones 69.‘i L Stevinson Is Confident He Will Qualify. BY W. R. McCALLUM. ERION CRICKFT CLUB, Ardmore, Pa., September | 22.—All the preliminary fanfare which surrounds the national amateur golf cham- pionship came to a dead end in the road today as 167 Simon pures, not tinged with the stain of pro-} fessionalism, set out on a per- sonally conducted tour which they | all hope will bring Bob Jones his fourth major championship of the year. The practice rounds are be- hind them. Before them today | and tomorrow lie the grim specter of the pencil and scorecard and those rugged bunkers of the €qually rugged Merion course—a out not much changed from af over which Jones won in| 1924—but one that has been trapped much more heavily than it"was then. George J. Voigt, entered from a New ¥ork club, but still the same indi- vidual who learned his golf down at Eist Potomac Park, has installed him- s€lf as one of the prime favorites to win the tournament, chiefly by reason of the 68 he made yesterday, just by way of showing Jones that the Voigt person is considerably a golfer. The 68 came in 2 four-ball match, in which Voigt and Watts Gunn lost on_the seventeenth hole to Bob Jones and Dick Jones. Bob Jones himself shot a 69, :‘ust s\sloitt birdied the final hole for As the fleld of 168 starters went out to match their shots against the wiles of the tricky Merion layout mystery surrouned the reasons for George von Elm’s announcement that this is his last fling at the amateur championship.

HE greatest master minds of base ball, Mack and Mc- Graw, were pitted against each other for the first time in the world championship of 1905, signalizing the dawn of a new era in the game. Boston had played on unofficial “world series” with Pittsburgh as a post-season barnstorming stunt in 1903, but the first legal battle between the two major leagues for the title was conducted two years later under regulations which since have governed the competi- tion. Peace had been declared and the ancient National League accepted its new rival on an equal footing. Contrast the financial picture of the first modern world series with the million-dollar spectacles | to which the American base ball | public became accustomed in post- war boom days! The total attendance for the five games played by the Giants and Ath- letics was 91,723, an average of about 18,000, as compared with the record of 63.600 at the Yankee Stadium in 1926. The total receipts were $68,435, of which $27,394.20 was split among the players, each Giant collecting $1,142 and each Mackman $832. In 1923 each member of the winning New York Yankees collected $6.143.49 mt‘ the players’ pool reached its height in 1926, amounting to $419,000. PPROPRIATE though it was to have the series involve the two managers who have been the most successful in their respective leagues, the fact is that the great right arm of Christy Mathewson had more to do with the outcome than any master- minding from the side lines. ‘The series lasted only five games, every one of which was a shutout, and Mathewson won three of them for the triumphant Giants. The famous cre- ator of the “fadeaway ball” blanked the Mackmen in the first, third and fifth games by scores of 3-0, 9-0 and 2-0. He allowed only 14 hits in the three games. “Iron Man” Joe McGinnity registered the fourth victory for the New Yorkers and Chief Bender, then a comparative youngster with the A’s, contributed the only Philadelphia conquest to an exhi- bition of brilliant pitching that has had no parallel in world series history. ‘Twenty-five years later Mack still seemed to experience a thrill in telling me of Mathewson's famous feat. “I never felt particularly bad about losing that series,” he said. “It was- marvelous base ball. Matty was in his prime and simply unbeatable. I have always regarded him as the greatest pitcher of all time. I don’t recall that : made a mistake in the three games ‘won.” ‘ACK'S club was no “push-over.” Substantially it was the same out- fit that had captured the pennant in 1902. Bender was the most impor- tant pitching addition, second of the “Big Three” that was to be completed later by Jack Coombs. Andy Coakley, ict. of Holy Cross College, also joined the curving corps. . o CONNI riffs. E MACK | By Alan Gould Sports Editor the Associated Press. Boston nosed out the Athletics in a close race in 1903 and the Red Sox, again skillfully managed by Jimmy Col- lins, repeated in 1904, but Mack re- gained the upper hand in 1905. Plank, Waddell and Bender pitched great bali all season, but just before the world series the Rube wandered from the reservation and was still A. W. O. L. when the big battle began. Mack never forgave Waddell for| “throwing him down” at this important | Jjuncture. The eccentric Rube fot long afterward was shipped to St. Louis, even though he still had a lot of stuff left in his pitching arm. In fact, Wad- dell took particular delight in beating | his old teammates. In 1908 he set an finem League record by striking out o Athletics.

The HIS 50 YEARS IN BASE BALL RUBE WADDELL team dropped to fourth in 1908, but | braced and finished second to Detroit in 1907, due somewhat to the acquisi- tion of Jimmy Collins, former Boston manager and one of the best third basemen of all time. Again the team slumped, finishing sixth in 1908, and Mack ripped it apart. He combed the colleges, sandlots and minor leagues for young talent. The result was the formation of Mack’s greatest team, if not the great- base ball machine of all time. The Athletics of 1909. already sensational, were runners-up to Detroit again.

ONTREAL, Quebec, Sep- tember 22.—This week two ‘Washington pitchers who have done little more than hurl in batting practice will see service in championship contests. In addition to the exhibition games they are slated to pitch here and in Hartford, Carl Fischer, rookie left-hander, and Harry Child, orthodox mounds- man, probably will be sent into action in the four-game serles with the Red Sox in Boston. Capt. Joe Judge has tentatively sched- uled them as starters in the Hub set. Fischer since coming up from Newark of the International League, has been in as a starter before. For Child, however, a Boston start would be his first in the big show. Harry has been employed in a relief role several times, but has pitched few innings as a major leaguer. Fischer may start the game Friday and Child is apt to make his starting debut Saturday. ‘The other games of the Red Sox series may be handled by Al Crowder and Irving Hadley. Crowder, now at his home in Rochester, N. Y., is to rejoin the Nationals in Boston Wed- '| nesday and Capt. Judge figures to use the General that day. Hadley will be due to pitch Thursday. Now that Lloyd Brown, lefthander, has been excused for the remainder of the season the Nationals have a staff of only six pitchers. Bob Burke and Ad Liska are the reserves who will do any relief work that may be necessary in Boston. Brown for some time has had a severe cold and while he pitched creditably in Detroit Saturday the effort weakened him greatly and it was deemed advisable to let him go to his Tennessee home. EFORE the Nationals return to Washington next Sunday their catching staff may be reduced. There's no reason that the club should cart around four receivers the last week of the season, it seems, so two of them may be ordered home before the set with the Red Sox gets under way. Muddy Ruel and Pat Gharrity ma$ be the catchers relieved of duty. RT SHIRES is to crash the line-up the final week of the campaign whenever the opposition employs a left-hander. The Great One has| been yearning for a shot at the pastime and it looks as though he will partiei- pate in the entire Boston series. The Red Sox have nothing in the way of a left-hander they would be likely to send in against the Nationals. Art ought to look over some clever pitching from Lisenbee, Gaston, Russell and Mac- Fayden. Shires has not had much of an op- portunity to show his worth since join- ing the Nationals. He very likely is a much better ball player than many have credited him with being. He has appeared to advantage almost every time he has managed to swing into action with the Washington club and though remaining on the bench much of time is more than irksome to Shires, his spirit never has flagged. He's done his bit in the coach's box and helped no little warming up pitchers. Art generally finds something to do while the game is on, even though A good hustling type of ball player. 'HERE was little in the West for the Nationals this season. They wound up their campaign in that sector of the league yesterday well beaten by its four clubs. Of 44 games gl:yed out that way the Johnson band bagged but 18, a poor record for a second-place outfit. The nationals were off to a poor start in their first invasion in June. Then they were licked five times in a dozen starts. In July they fared even worse when they played in the West, winning but seven of 19 games. In the Septem- | ber invasion just ended they won six | games and lost seven. | Only in Chicago did the Nationals get the edge. There they beat the White Sox 6 times in the 11-game series. In 8t. Louis the Browns defeated them, 8 games to 3, in Cleveland the Indians stopped them in 7 of the 11 games and ifin_?fit{néh&hey bowed to the Tigers in o 3 'HERE was some glory for the Na- tionals in their final' defeat in the West. They kicked in with an odd triple play, heiped greatly by the dizzy work of Alexander on the runways. Al- exander was on second base and Dol- jack on first in the third inning when Akers attempted to sacrifice. The run- ners left bases at the crack of the bat, but Akers’ bunt was a pop and Alexan- der evidently fearing a catch by Hadley, turned back to the middle station. There he found Doljack and both runners stood and the sack while Hadley, un- able to make a fly catch, picked up the ball and tossed out Akers. Judge was about to heave to second to get Doljack when Alexander, clearly entitled to the sack, decided to leave it and try for third. Judge's throw to Hayes checked Alexander and Jack whipped the ball to Cronin, who got Doljack a step off the first base side of SPORTS ARCADIANS AND TEMPLES OPEN DISTRICT LEAGUE Blick’s Youngsters Will Flash Fancy Uniforms To- night—National Capital Loop Has Five ; New Teams—Federals Start. “ICK, the country's lead- wling magnate, tonight will fizsh his group of up-and- coming youngsters, sporting brfl- liant silk-shirted uniforms, on the Temple drives at 8 o'clock against the Temple pinmen in the 1930-1 premier of the District Bowling League.

ARMOUR BRILLIANT INWIN AT ST.LOUS Tommy Shoots 276, a Dozen Under Par, to Take First Prize of $2,500. BY PAUL MICKELSON, Assoclated Press Sports Writer. T. LOUIS, September 22.—Pro- ponents for a more dractic par had another examplé for their cause today as Tommy Armour, the great iron stylist from Detroit, pocketed first prize money in the $10,000 St. Louis open golf champion- ship. Leading an even more spectacular brigade of par busters than has ripped up any course this year, the black Scot posted an astonishing total of 276, an even dozen strokes under par, to win the championship. Two strokes behind him ranked Walter Hagen, still seek- ing an elusive 1930 championship, while the rest of the leaders had a general all-around high-hat opinion of old man Par, who was chased into his dugout £0 consistently during the 72-hole tour- nament that probably the lowest scores of the season were hung up on the tally sheets. Par for the championship on Sunset | Hill Country Club course stands at 72, perhaps two strokes higher than it should be. Yet in the four 18-hole rounds 20 players broke 70, while four others ripped up the course with bril- find Cronin waiting with the ball and the side was out. One for the book, that triple play. HIS freak bit of fielding came too late, though, to do the Nationals much good at the time, for the Tigers already had put over two runs in the inning to boost to three their total of runs. Doljack’s single, Hadley’s wild pitch, a sacrifice and Whitehill's | single with two out netted the Tigers a tally in the second, and before the triple play in the third Gehringer's one- baser, McManus' stroll, Cronin's fumble and Alexander’s grounder and Doljack’s single were good for two more markers. These two markers also broke a tie, for the Nationals had counted once in the third with Hadley's single, Akers' error, & steal by Bump and Cronin's one-base blow. In the seventh the Na- tionals again deadlocked the game, how- ever. Hadley’s walk, Meyer's double, Rice’s long sacrifice hoist and Manush's single produced the two runs needed for a tie. And then it was a desperate battle to the tenth. | famine. liant 66s, or six strokes under par. Seventy-ones and par 72s were so nu- merous that they failed to eliclt more than a yawn out of the gallery. Golfers with low enough scores to win most any tournament had a hard time crowding into the money. The scoring was about the lowest of the year, even outstripping the totals turned in in the recent Western open and the St. Paul open tournaments. Armour, just back from his triumph in the Professional Golfers' Association championship, shot invincible golf to win the $2,500 first prize money. He broke 70 on his first three rounds and ended under a great strain with par. His cards were 67, 68, 69 and 72. On the 72-hole jaunt he had 17 birdies, 1 eagle and went 1 stroke over par on but seven holes, Hagen's scores were 69, 68, 70 and 71, the best golf he has shot in his year of He captured second prize money of $2,000. Horton Smith of New York, Al Es- pinosa and Joe Kirkwood of Chicago finished third with 281 tofals, 7 shots under par. Their rounds were: Smith, 70, 73, 70, 68, 281; inosa, 71, 69, 71, 70, 281; Kirkwood, 74, 69, 71, 67, 281. Other low scorers were: Harry Coop- er, Chicago, 282; Gene Sarazan, New York, 283; Leo Diegel, Auga Caliente, Mexico, 283; Ralph Guldahl, Dallas, Tex., 284; Clarence Clark, Tulsa, 285; Clarke Morse, St. Louis, 285; Paul Runyan, Bloomfield, N.

DDS in favor of St. Louis capturing the flag are lengthening. The Cards were idle yesterday. Brooklyn’s Robins dropped their fifth straight game. The New York Giants lost everything but a mathematical chance of tying the league leaders as they di- vided a double-header with Cin- cinnati. Chicago regained half a game and took a clear hold on second place by beating the Bos- ton Braves, 4 to 2. A home run by Gabby Hartnett with CUff Heathcote on base was required to win for Chicago, as Pat Malone and Ben Cantwell pitched an even battla, ‘The victory left the Cubs two and one- half games behind the league leaders with the others trailing at one-game intervals in this fashion: Games Pet. behind. 588 ... Club. Won. St. Louis. 87 Chicago... 85 Brooklyn.. 84 New York. 84 556 Pittsburgh required two innings to ruin Brooklyn's hopes with a 7-to-6 victory. Trailing, 3-0, after the first two innings, the Pirates assaulted Wat- son Clark for 4 runs the third and drove him from the mound with 3 more in the fourth. Luque and Phelps stopped the Pirates, but the Robins could not make enough headway against Ervin Brame's hurling to over- come that lead. ‘The Giants pulled out a neat 6-to-4 triumph over Cincinnati in the first half of their double bill, but had one bad inning in the second and lost, 7 to 6. The Reds found Bill Walker for 6 runs in the second and a 5-run seventh thwn" 81 Johnson could not beat em. ‘The American League turned ftself into something like a testing ground for new material. The St. Louis Browns gave the greatest display of new talent as they split a twin card with the champion Philadelphia Athletics. Five youngsters, including three infielders, helped the Browns win an 8-to-4 de- cision. They failed to keep up the pace in the second game, as the A’s, with four of their reserves in action, clouted Sammy Gray and his two suc- cessors for 17 hits, to gain a 10-to-4 triumph. Goose Goslin did his bit for the Browns with a homer in each game. ‘The New York Yankees tosied 21 players into the fray against Chicago's young White Sox, who retained & chance to tie St. Louis for sixth place by slamming out a 15-to-7 triumph. With the veteran Jack Russell pitch- ing against Willis Hudlin and Wesley Ferrell, the last-place Boston Red Sox slammed out five runs in the tenth to defeat Cleveland, 9 to 4. Two experi- enced pitchers, Irvin Hadley and Earl ‘Whitehill, held the center of the stage at Detroit, where the Tigers scored &, 4-to-3 10-inning triumph over Wash- ington as Spencer overthrew third try- ing to nip Johnson in a double steal.
