Andy Rush, who has breeged many of them across the corner of the plate in a puzzling manner was in mid-season form and allowed the invaders from Maryland flve hits. Lefty Groves, hurling for the Ori- oles, also granted the same number of safe blows but also {ssued five bases on balls, which led to his downfall, Free passes and tipely hit- ting spelt defeat for Baltimore. Waterbury got the jump on Groves in the first inning, Schmehl «|walked but was forced at second on Solomon's grounder to Maisel. Demoe had previously fanned. Yordy drew life when Baltimore's third sacker fumbled a ground ball and both advanced when McCarty let one get by him, Graham's sin- gle to right field scored both runs. The Brasscos seored again in the second inning when Burke walked jand made third by a hair on |Schauffel's single to right. He came home on Bush's infield 'out which was poorly played by Boley. The Baltimore shortstop got Schauffel at second while Burke scurried hiome just in time to beat the throw. The final runs for the home club came in the seventh after Groves fanned the first two. The left-hand- er passed Schauffel and Rush col- lected a hit through the pitching Lox, Schmehl was passed. Demoe's single to right fleld Scored Scahuffel and Rush. Baltimore saved herself from a shutout in their half of the eighth inning. With two down Maisel sin- gled into right field and scored on a double by Connelly which also went into the territory patrolled by Moe Solomon. This was their parting shot and the best of the afternoon. Waterbury played a fast ‘and ag- | gressive game while Baltimore was left behind. Burke in center fleld and Demoe at second, had a busy Aay for the Brasscos in the fleld, while Boley and Tomlin were kept busy by Baltimore, WATERBURY R. H‘ P.0. A B 1ON AB.

Curipusly enough, three clubs, then, ay this year, figured in the final pennant drives, The New York Giants lost the Na- tional league pennant to the Chicago Cubs sixteen years ‘ago when the famous “bone” of Fréd Merkle, who failed to touch secend in a game between these two rivals, wa con- tributing factor which causéd a re- play at the end of the season which resulted in vietory and the pennant fer Frank Chance's club, It was a three-cornered race that year among the Glants, Pirates and Cubs and the Chicago outfit put its two rivals out of the race in the last two games. The Cubs closed the regular seasort. with the Pirates. Victory meant, a pennant for Pltts- burgh in the final game but Chicago won and clinched its place at the tep. The Giants, however, tled it up by winning three straight from Bos- ton, only to have the Cubs turn them back in the deciding play-off battle. Meanwhile three teams also were battling it out . in the American league—Detrolt, Chicago and Cleve- land, The Indians, with three games to play with St. Louis, could clinch the flag by taking them all. But they lost one and the decigion then rested on the outcome ‘of a game between Detroft and Chicago on the final day of the season. The Tigers, with Bill Donovan pitching, won and gained the right to meet the Cubs in the world series. HARVARD HARD HIT, DUNKER TAKEN ILL Delense Star Out-Lineup for First Game Announced Cambridge, Mass., Sept. 24.—Hen- ry T. Dunker, of the Harvard varsity football squad, was today taken to the Stillman infirmary, the college hospital, with a light case of diph- theria. Every precaution is being taken to prevent a spread of the in- fectuous disease among the equad on the even of the opening of the season. Dunker has played tackle for the past two years and is captain-elect of the track team. While his ill- ness is not severe the college phy- sicians said that it would be at least a month before he could resume training. Football officials saidit was douptful if Dunker could get back in condition for any of the games. A final adjuetment of the squad "with organization of three teams, was made yesterday in preparation for the first acrimmage of the year to be held today between teams A and B. Francis Akers, a varsity quarter last year, were dropped from the squad and Francis La Farge added. The first team, whose lineup will probably be kept in the first game with Middlebury on October 4, con- sists of Phillp ‘Chase and Edward Bradford, ends; Captain Malcaim Greenough and Edwafd Nash, tack- les; Charles Bradford and Philip Leopold, guards; John Adie, center; Philip Spalding, quarterback; and Frwin Gehrke, Alfred Miller and John Hammonds, backs.

GENARD WINNER IN GRAHAN BCT Takes Soven Out of Twelve Rounds in Fight New York, Sept. 24~—Irankie Genaro, American flyweight cham- pion, won the decision over Bushy Graham of Utica in a 12-round bout last night, The champion, whose title was not at stake, weighed 113 pounds and Graham 117%. Genaro took seven rounds and scored knockdowns in the fourth, eighth and last rounds: Graham bled freely after the fourth round from the mouth and a cut on the right eye. Genaro was unmarked. The bout was replete with spasms of furious fighting. The chamgion forced the battle, using a fRst left jabb and right cross but found alwags dangerous. Genaro earned a shade in the first but was held even in the sec- ond when both traded st{ff punches. The champion had a shade in the third and took the fourth by a wide margin dropping his opponent who was up without a count, Genaro followed his advantage in the fifth and had his opponent bleeding badly from the mouth and a cut on the eye. Graham rallied in the lat- ter half to cover up. The action slowed up until the ninth when they cut loose with another furious rally with honors even. Genaro took the last three rounds and dropped Graham again without a count, in the midst of a final rally in the tweifth. Sammy Vogel of Harlem defeat- ed Micky Travers of New Haven by a wide margin in a 12-round semi- final to the fight, and Jimmy Hutch- {son of Brooklyn won from Frankie De Santis of Utica in a six-round preliminary.
