Local sanalot base ball followers today will hive two titular tilts| involving the senior and midgct; championships of the Capital City League on the Ellipse. Olms:ed[ Grill will play the Miller-Roamers in the senior game and Woadex Bread will oppose Spengler Post in the midget 1ray | Tuesday the week-cay series will be | resumed on the Ellipse, with the con- tenders entering & crucial _stretch. Though the couble-knockout system Eas been abandoned this season, two and possibly three defeats will hit a team | hard and each of the clubs except G. P. O. has one loss charged against it. LMSTED GRILL won the opening | O game of a three-game series with | tae Miller-Roamers for the senfor | title n week ago and another victory to- day will end the strife. Should the Roamers come_through, the all-impor= tant game will be played next Sunday. Spengler vanquished the Wonder | Bread tossers in the opening midget | clash and, like the Grillmen, today can | end the series with & win. P. O.s nine upset the Construc- s> tioneers last Friday in the week- day series championship to take the Jeague lead. Though tne lead means little if anything at this stage of the| series, the upset furnished proof that | the Constructioneers can be beaten.

EW YORK, September 5 (#).— The New York Gilants ran their winning streak to eight straijght by walloping Brook- Iyn in both ends of a double-header, 5 to 1 and 10 to 1, and pulled up to within 512 games of the league-leading St. Louls Cardinals. Jim Mooney, left-handed rookie from | Bridgeport, won his fifth straight in | the second game and woyld not have | been scored on but for a bad throw by | Ott in the third inning. Mooney kept | the Dodgers’ 10 hits well scattered and | his single in the fifth started a 6-run | rally off Dazzy Vance. Vance and | | Dag, who came in in the seventh, al- | lowed the Giants 13 hits, among them | homers by Hogan, Allen and Mel Ott’s twenth-seventh of the season. Fitzsimmons Hurt. | Freddie Fitzsimmons held the Dodgers to 10 hits and a single run for s2ven innings before he had to re- tire because of injuries.

B Elm, famous “business man” of the links, today will at- tempt to put an end to the great ILLY BURKE, national open champion, and George Von | winning streak of Monro Hunter | and George Diffenbaugh, who have | never been defeated on their home course at Indian Spring. | The match will siart at 2 | o'clock. An admisison fee of one /buck will be levied and an in- i trigued golfing public is cordially |invited to witness what promises | to be a brilliant and colorful con- | test. } It will_ be a circus of contrasting | figures. Burke and Von Elm differ as | much in temperament and style as do [the giant Hunter and diminutive Dif- fenbaugh in size. Specialized ability in every phase of the game is encom- | passed by the four. Burke and Von Elm wrote a weird | page in golf history when they fought | through 144 holes for the national open at Inverness, Toledo, Ohio. Burke won by a margin of 1 stroke, and is the reigning open _titleholder. Von Elm came nearer winning it, yet losing, than any other challenger has ever come. The latter has been a national ruler, for he defeated Bobby Jones then at the peak, in the 36-hole final for the 1926 mnational amateur at Baltusrol, N. J. Burke and Von Elm offer a study in contrasts. Burke is the methodical, | dogged workman, while Von Elm is & quick-striding, pugnacious, iron-jawed adversary. And just as their tempera- ments collide, though not dangerous- ly, so their stroking styles differ.

Friday will end the second week of play, the opponents being the Constructioneers and G. P. O.

Our house faces the country club’s seven- teenth fairway. I was waiting for them to come up to that tee and when they did Francis told me he was two strokes up on Vardon and that Ray was far behind him. “Francis played that hole well, but Vardon got into a trap and became four down. Francis picked up another stroke on the eighteenth for a 72. Vardon took a 77 and Ray a 78. Every since that day the seventeenth has been called the ‘Vardon,' for that was the hole that gave Francis his first championship. “He thought this victory over such great golfers was due entirely to luck | and it was not until the next year, when he won his first amateur championship up in Vermont. that he began to have confidence in himself.

Five times he was stopped there, falling once in the finals and winning twice. Lack of stamina was Ouimet's biggest hazard, although three times he had way to the firresistible Bobby after the elusive title with more de- termination than ever. First he realized he had to play more golf. He played most of his week ends around Boston and strengthened his none-too-strong muscles by constant practice. He took on 18 pounds.

VICTORY OF OUIMET PLEASING TO JONES “Tickled to Death,” Is Way Bobby Puts It—Dcesn't Feel Lone- some Without Title. By the Associated Press. BEVERLY COUNTRY CLUB. Chi- cagh. September 5—Bobby Jones, five times former champion, was a spectator to Francis Ouimet's second amateur championship triumph and expressed himself as “tickled to death.” “It was a great victory for one of the | greatest figures in American golf.” de- clared Jones. “This was one of the very few times when I have ever pulled for any one, but I certainly pulled hard for Francis today. I have been in many a campaign with him and I con- sider_his triumph here as brilliant as any I have ever seen.” Jones, in three previous tourna- ments. blocked Ouimet's path in the semi-finals. Bobby didn't miss a shot in Oulmet's 1ast- two matches, against Billy Howell and Jack Westland. so keen was the great Georgian's interest in the first tournament in which he has not been a competitor since 1916 Asked if it made him lonesome, he replied: | “Not a bit."

It required only four more holes to settle the issue. Ouimet won the short twenty-eighth, where he just missed a birdie, and finished the last four holes in even par to end the match on the thirty-first green. Ouimet, due to his good inward nine, carded a 76 for the morning round. but otherwise the medal scores of the final- ists were nothing to become excited about. Westland used 81 strokes for the first round. With the wind strong in the afternoon Ouimet was out in 42 and Westland in 41. For the day, Ouimet was 11 over par and Westland 16.
