Yankees Tighten Up. The veteran Yankees continuing to tighten their game in the grim strug- gle with Washington down the stretch, won their second straight battle on the final road trip with a ninth-inning rally that netted two runs and a 5 to 4 victory. Joe Bush, who held the Red So: to two hits on the previous day, came up in the final inning as a pinch-hitter with the bases full, and doubled for the tying and winning tallies Huggins, forcing his hand for every point, called upon four reserves in the emergency and all contributed to the success of his strategy. Johnson, batting for Hoffman, drew a pass. Gehrig, hitting for Ward, was safe on an error, and McNally took his place on the bases. Scott was safe when Harris threw wild to catch Johnson and Bush completed the rout. The victory advanced champions to within one and one- half contests of Washington which was kept idle by rain. Detroit Wins, Detroit also picked game by winning from. the W Sox, 7 to 3, when Hallo pitched effectively after Chicago drove John- son from the mound.

My.Own surprised his trainer in a faster trial than was in- tended by doing the distance in 0!1:40 2-5.

Grey Lag, now a six-year-old, was brought out from retirement to meet Epinard at the mile distance and has worked so satisfactorily that he is now regarded as the most formid- able opponent of the French cham- pion. brilliant at three, winning nine of 13 starts, !ncluding the Brooklyn, Belmont, Dwycr and Devonshire in- ternational stakes among his vic- tories. t year-old but at five went wrong after winning five straight and was re- tired to the stud. }e has been the property of the Rancocas stables since 1920, My Own won only one race as a two-year-old, but last season six straight victories brought him into the limelight and made him a eub- stitute for Zev in the International race with Papyrus.

Columbia, 8.-C., Sept. 10.—With only 60 of the atate's 1,354 precincts unreported, former Governor Cole L. Blease, early today was clinging to his narrow margin over Representa- tive James F.

Mehlhorn had done about as well after serving as professional in Chicago, Tulsa, Shreveport and St. Louis, but today they felt they had vindicated their theory after taking two important contests within a week. The field in which they came out on top was composed of some of the world's best golfers, including Jock Hutchison, formerly British open titlist, and Chick Evans, who still holds the record of 286 for the na- tional open. In the western, Diegel finished well up with 304, while in was third with 298. Many of the professionals who have been competing in the two events will proceed to French Lick, Ind., for the national professional championship next week. The title is now held by Gene Sarazen, of New York, Greb-Tunney Fight To Be Held Tonight Cleveland, O., Sept. 10. — Twice postponed due to rain, the Gene "Punney-Harry Greb 10-round boxing contest will be staged in the Olym- pic arena tonight, weather permit- ting. The bout was originally scheduled for Monday night, but was postponed until last night when con- tinued rain forced another setback. It weather conditions are unfav- orable tonight for the contest, the bout will be postponed for at least a week and ' new date set. Greb wants to attend the Firpo-Wills fight in Jersey City tomorrow night. |Paddock to Attempt To Lower Sprint Time Cleveland, Sept. 10.— An attempt by Charles W. Paddock, champion sprinter, to beat records at 100 and 175-yards will feature a combined |track meet and baseball program hete today for the henefit of farmers |who suffered property damage at the time of the Loraine tornado some wecks ago.

Chosen- * atches Start Tomotrow New York,~ Sept. 10,—Vincent Richards of Yonkers, N: Y., conquer- or of ‘Willlam ‘M.- Johnston of San Frapcisco, in the East-West matches, at Iorest Hills last week, and Wil- liam M. Tilden, II, of" Philadelphia, will be the United States’ singles team in ‘the Yavis = cup matches which start at Philadelphia tomors row. These nominations were an- nounced by the United States Lawn Tennls association selection commit- tee last night, Richards and Tilden will meet Gerald L. Patterson and Pat O'Hara Wood of Australia in the. challenge round, the Australians having won both the American zone and the in- ter-zone finals. Patterson, repre- senting the Australian Lawn Tennis association, announced that the bur- den of challenging for the tennis trophy will rest entirely on the shoulders of Wood and himself, the two players, competing in the singles matches and then pairing up for the doubles. At the same time it was announced that Tilden and Willlam M. John- ston will compose the United States doubles team against Patterson and ‘Wood. Richards' selection, while not en- tirely unexpected, confes as a sur- prise in some quarters despite the impressiveness of Richarde’ triumph over Johnston on the nationals. Johnston, owing to his experience and steadiness, was considered to be in line for the nominatjon, but the; selection committee, considerihg Richards’ feat of winning the Olym- pic championship and then playing up. to the semi-final round in the nationals last week, chose him for the singles, leaving Johnston to con- serve all of his strength for the doubles together with Tilden. HARDWARE BUYING Future Orders in Larger Volume— No Price Changes. fept. 10, Hardware Age, in its weekly market summary, will say to- morrow: “Moderate improvement in buying continues throughout the hardware markets. Future orders are being placed by jobbers and retailers in larger volume and a wider variety of items are in demand than has been the case for several months. No major price changes were made during the week. " “Some manufacturers are lssuing prices for the spring or 1925 on sea- sonable goods, but spring prices have | been announced slowly this year and jobbers say there is no justification for believing that price levels next vear will be lower than they were in 1924, “Although ecurrent staple orders are fairly numerous, the volume is small and jobbers do not expect any substantial increase in buying until after the election, although retall| 1 stocks are small known to science thal will l'l. o':n lttl'ulil!!f fi mm!!“‘nrln ightly s, pimples and carbu Wb twentydout hours.

New York, Sept. 10.—The wild bull of the Pampas and the brown panther of New Orleans paw and glide in their cages today, awaiting the meeting at Boyle's Thirty Acres tomorrow night which will. provide an opponent for Dempsey, the killer, Firpo concluded his training yes- terday with a final workout against Miguel Ferrara and Bill Tate, Wills rounded out his two months of preparation at Southampton with a brisk walk and then motored, with his wife and retinue, to his home in Harlem, Tomorrow morning both will go to Jersey City to weigh in before the New Jersey boxing commission. Wills will occupy a cottage near the arena and Firpo will go to the Elks club to remain until he leaves for the ring. Wills is expected to tip the scales around 220 pounds. Firpo weighed 218 after his final session. Legal efforts to prevent the bout apparently failed with the refusal of President Coolidge and Governor Silzer of New Jersey to interfere with the machinery of the depart- ment of labor and the New Jersey boxing commission, 60,000 Spectators Ticket salcs, stemmed for days by the threat of intervention, increased today' and Promoter Tex Rickard indicated that 60,000 spectators would probably furnish $800,000 re- ceipts for the bout. Unsettled weather now looks as the only possible interference with plans for the fight, which, Rickard stated, would be held on Friday night if his customary luck with the weather fafled tomorrow. Betting odds varied with the wide« Iy scattered opinion of experts as to th# probable result of the battle, Rumors that Wills would/be a 6 to 5 favorite brought a flood of Firpo coin which, however, found few takers at even money. Indications point to the Argentine entering the ring a slight favorite, Opinion among the experts has not resolve into definite conclusions and it is thought that sentiment will still waver uncertainly among the crowd when the men enter the ring and until actual clashing in the early rounds forccast the end. Broadly, Firpo is favored if the fight is short and Wills is given an edge if it goes the full 12 rounds— a result which few critics expect. Firpo's impetuous attack with his right hand is expected to force the issue and Wills is sajd to be re- serving his plan of battle to meet the Argentine's whim. Heavy Puncher Against Dempsey the Wild Bull rushed insistently with peffect will- ingness to give and take until he was finally beaten after an exhibi- tion of punching and gameness which, if repeated against the negro, will insure an early and sen- sational climax.
