Speaking of Sports As & result of thelr vietory over the Réds in the second game of the series in Cineinnati yesterday, the Giants in- creased their in the National league race to four full games and they now need only twe more victories to be mathematically esrtain of win- ping the champiopship, If the Giants are syecessful in two of their remain. ing six games they will finish the sea- son a full game ahead of the Reds, even If the Cinecinnati elub s victor. jous in all of its remaining four con- tests, One more victory for the Giants end another deféat for the Re would also clineh the pennant for Me- Graw's team, Another vietory for the worlde champions will mean that they ean do no worse than finish the scason in a tie for first place, The world's title games begin Octto. ber 10 at the Yanks' park, The Tygers had the last laugh on the Yanks yestorday when they claw- ed Sam Jones' offerings after Heil. mann had beon intentionally passed, During the game tho lead changed thrice, but Veach's single settied the outcome in the ninth, Watson outpitched the Cuban ace terday and Meusel with his bat in. sured a Giant victory, A big crowd is expected in Bridge. port October 4 when Jock Malone and Bogash mix it up.

PENNANT FOR MORAN rooms on Pearl £t . Continued from Preceding Page) Ring his great possibilities and Jimmy is doing his best to prove what Fletch- er thinks and vs is true, Ring hopes to win 20 games for the Phillies. That is setting a rather high figure considering the fact that his team will just about eseape the cellar. If he gets his share of the breaks dur- ing the remainder of the season he will come mighty close to reaching that mark, Seidom Gets Breaks ‘When a pitcher is with a club that is a second division aggregation, it seems the breaks always go the other way. A second division club invariably has its weak spots, usually lacks a punch, These faults often provide the breaks for the opposition. A recent game in which Ring was beaten by Chicago furnishes an exam- ple of some of the tough defeats he has suffered this year, In the opening inning Chicago scored two runs. Ring held the Cubs helpless the rest of the way, but his teammates could only get him ore run. In eight innings of pitch- ing, Ring struck out 12 men, just half the number retired. Tough to lose a ball game in which you strike out 12 men in elght iu- nings. Jimmy Ring can tell you a lot of such happeni 10 PETE TENNIS STAR C.

To The Bporting Editer: In reading over last night's ae- count in the "Speaking of Sporls” column, I came aoroas & statement whieh uses me a8 making lurid tales of alleged frregularities which occur- red about & year or more ago.. I have not made any statements to any re- porters to publish during this alleged battle of sland 1 want to be exon- eratqd from this whole mixup at the present time. If however a meeting of the sehool board is called to look inte the malter and if they ask me for any information, why then I shall only think it s my duty to answer any question that they put before nie, As about M, B Fraternity feeling eun say: That some people think that a certain Fraternity down at the H. B, 18 the whole athletle works, but they are all wrong as it can be proven and will be proven at the right time, There are fellows down at High school that begrudge - certain Fra. ternity to have its members as caps tain or players on athletic teams, but if any other person outside of this Praternity is eleeted captain, it is als ways the policy of these Fraternity ren to work just as hard and work In earnest, as for example in 1921 the champlonship foothall team was rep- resentad by aix regulars of this ¥ra. ternity, The captain of the team, who was Mr' Fineman, was a non- I'rat man, everybody worked as a unit and three of the six Fraternity men recelved All-Conn. positions and two wers honorably mentioned for pluces. 'The next year, Mr. Murthu W captain, and because he was a wember of this certain Fraternity some of the fellows lald down, and wouldn't help him at all, Mr, McCue, who went out last year and, received his letter for football, was olected to the captaincy, and not by members of a certain IPraternity ay five men outside the Kraternity voted for McCue, and this can be proved, It seems that because McCue be- longs to this Fraternity he wasn't get- ting a square deal and that doesn't seem right. 1 will say as everybody clse 1s saying, Captain McCue did not rk ive the prestige that captains did reteive in past yeara. The publiec who has been great fans and backers of the Red and Gold in former yeags should be given an op rortunity to find out the difficult: which has eaused so much trouble within the past few weeks. “DIXIE" GRIFFIN, HUNT TRAINING GIRL FOR OLYMPIC TEAM | Contjpued from Pregceding Page) speaking of these long distance swim- ming events, Hunt said that he uses {the crawl stroke exclusively and al- ways finishes fresh. He says also, that after the first mile, |mer's actions becone mechanical and lexcept for physical weariness there is no effort. Hunt is a native of the Virgin Is- {lands and hegan to take prominence as a swimmer when a boy. At the age of 15 he set a world record at Porto Rico where at the San Juan races which take place every year he swam 22 ocean miles in 26 hours. This record has not been touched in the intervening 17 years and the nearest approach was the swimming of the distance in 28 hours, This winter Hunt intends to return to the water carnival at Porto Rico jand while there will attempt to shat- ter the world record for endurance made by Captain Webb, the famous English swimmer, who lost his life trying to swim the Niagara rapids years ago. The English swimmer set a record of T4 hours continuous swim- ming. In a previous attempt to better Webb's recofd, Hunt remained in the water 46 hours, TERDAY'S HOMERS | Meusel, Yanks ....

Those who don't, sooner or laler earn for themselves that uni- versally disliked title—a road hog.” (The Veteran Motorist) UST a word to every motor truck driver who reads this paper. I've wanted to say some- thing especially to you for a long time, but have kept putting it off. I was afraid you fellows might think'I'm one of those high-brows trying to preach a sermon on something I know nothing about. [ T i “Far from it! I've driven a truck a good many times, and I know what it is, It's a man’s job.. And what I want to say is simply this: because the average truck is so much bigger than the average car, why not give the car driver just a shade better than an even chance to pass you, without having to slide off the macadam or asphalt in doing it? “I don’t believe that a single truck driver ever really means to hog th€road.. But a good many times he forgets. All he’s got to do is to stick to his half of the road, and he’s ‘done his duty’. And it's better for everyone concerned. Incidentally, I understand that every driver in the big, attractive Socony fleet of trucks has special instructions to 'keep his machine well over to the right—never to hog the road.” SOCONY GASOLINE & MOTOR OIL Unitorm Quality Best Results - heme runs. by Pen.
