New York, Sept. 8 UP—XFrom a|Fla sprint for the championship, the American league pennant race with- | in two weeks has turned into a tri- umphant Washington march, The dazed Athletics now trail in the dust of twelve straight defeats, nine full games behind the leaders, Mack’'s team on its home field vesterday lost to Washington twice, 2to1and 7 to 6. e tully pitched opening game by Wal- | ia ter Johnson, the Senators measured | blows with the Athletics in a slug- &ing bee and came out on top when the Quaker infield crumpled, | The Pirates, riding in front of the Giants with a lead of 8 1-2 games, | maintained their advantage by split- | ting with the Cubs, The Corsairs outbatted their foes In a morning | hit feast, -5, a total of thirty-two | safeties being amassed by the two clubs, but in the afternoon the Cubs | t made 16 more hits and won 9 to“" 3. | The Tygers obtained a toehold on | fourth place in the American league by elawing the Browns, 7 to 6, in the morning brush but Sisler's club % in the afternoon drove Detrolt back | into the second division again after eleven innings, 4 to 3. The defeat snapped Detroit's string of ten straight victories. The White Sox and Cleveland also halved their double header, Jim Ed- wards blanked the Speaker entry in the final contest with four hits, 5 L. to 0, after a Cleveland rally in the ninth that decided the opening clash by 6 to 5. Rain reduced the Red Sox- Yankee bill at the Hub to a single conflict, in which Babe Ruth, sus- pended and fined $5,000 during the New York club's road trip, was re- instated. Babe fanned twice and made one error in the field, but he Bot one of the Yankees' five hits off Ehmke, who hurled the Hub to a | 5-1 triumph. . Double headers between the Giants and Braves, and the Robins | ahd Phillles in the National were | washed out by rain.

Sewell to Burns, Smith Ratizeaisiosnsissia DAVES CUP FINALS Drama of Challenge Round to Have New Setting This Year Philadelphia, Sept. 8. (#)—The drama of the challenge round for the (Davls Cup, emblem ot International team tennis supremacy will be held on the same stage as 1924, but with a new setting this year, Ior the first time in the quarter-century of his- toric competition, I‘rance's actors will take part in the final scene, with America in the defending role in the series of fiye title matches on the turf of the Germantown cricket club here Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week. Four times in the last five years of victorious reign, the United States has beaten back the forces of Aus- tralia. Japan's challenge was repulsed in the remaining season, 1921, Now the fiery youth of France presents a new threat, America, relying once more on the scasoned brilliance of Tilden Johnston, Richards and Wil- liams, will be favored to keep the famous trophy at home for the sixth year in a row but it will be in jcopardy, at least, if Jean Borotra continues the dazzling streak that chiefly accounted for the defeat of Australia in the inter-zone finals and his partner, Rene Lacoste, recovers the form that carried him to cham- pionship heights at Wimbledon earlier this year. France's entry into the challenge round not only has heightened in- terest in the championship matches but the manner of her triumph over Australia in the last climination test at Forest Hills has put an entirely new front on the situation. France's main hopes had been pinned upon the cool and quiet La- coste, 20 year ‘old champion of Lurope, but it was the volatile, hitherto erratic Jean Borotra who brought triumph to the tri-color and now looms as a threatening figure in America's calculations. Where Lacoste fell before the ean- nonading of Gerald Patterson, Aust- ralian howitzer of the courts, Borot- ra overwhelmed James O. Anderson, Anzae captain played a stellar role in the French doubles victory over Patterson and Hawkes, then turned loose, in the deciding match, a fire even deadlier in its effectiveness, than Patterson’s. In preparation for the final tests, members of both F'rench and Ameri- can teams were to be at Germantown today for practice. “Little Bill” Johnson, veteran Californian, who is slated to bear the singles burdened with “Big Bill” Tilden, and R. Norris Williame, captain of the American squad, arrived yesterday. Tilden and Richards, the later due to team up with Willlams in the doubles, were cxpected today. Borotra and LaCoste, with their tcammates, Jacques Brugnon and Max Decugis, captain of the invaders, are likely to indulge in only light tuning up inasmuch as they have just come through a hard campaign. France's climb to the challenge reund marks only the third time in Davis cup history that the monopoly of the “big three"—Australia, Great Britain and the United States—has been hroken in the final tests. With the exception of *Belgium's 1904 challenge, when the United States and Australia did not compete, and Japan's 1921 challenge, all previous title rounds have been confined to the three English-speaking rivals. In the nineteen champion series since 1900, the United States has won cight, Australia six and Great Britain five. closss235252258 5 9 GRAND CIRCUIT That ]l)mpll(‘ Facts Track Was Sticky Good Time is Made by Pacers at Indianapolis. | Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 8 (P— Despite the face that the local track was sticky as the result of rains Sun- day night good time was made by Tyrus Raymond Cobb, baseball's greatest player, was the honor guest at a celebration held in Detroit cently commemorating the Geor- glan's twentieth anniversary in the major leagues.

The world's champions, themselves by taking their sixth and seventh | straight games yoster. from the | Mackmen, have had cor ble to | say about the relaticve standing of | the two clubs, but Harris offers a | novel thought on the lively ball. “The Athletics,” Harris points out, “had a habit of getting their runs in big clusters. They got as high as 13 in one inning. They were winnipg most of their games {hat way, but. the lively ball was a helping factor. | With some of the ball's jack-rabbit temdencies removed, the Mackmen haven't been bunching their tallics 50 numerougly or effectively. “I think all the clubs h this influence, but the Athleti \\m.i thelr free-swinging array of sluggers, have suffered the most, in my judg- ment." There s no doubt in Harris' mind that the ball has been.subjected to marked change to reduce the wave of major league slugging. The shrinking of most averages is con- clusive proof of this, he points out, and adds his belief that it is for the | best interests of the game. He looks for a return to the normal batting standards of the pre-Ruthian era, when it was a gistinction to be a .300 hitter. i BOYS' CLUB NOTES Increased Athletic Activity is Being | et | Planned for Coming Winter at Lo- | cal Gymnasium, Increased athletic activity is be- ing planned for the coming winter by Raymond Anderson, physical di- rector of the Boys' club.

Tho game was a pitcher's battle all the way through with Buckland - having the edge over Liedke, Kensington ace, while the Red- Sox gave their twirler gilt edge support in contrast to'spotty playing by Kensington, The Corbin Red Sox players seized every opportunity to advance ‘around the bases and by daring chances piled up & score that gave them the edge in the race for the city cham- plonship. A short time before the game be- gan, Liedke, who was warming up with “Slim" Politis near the Ken- sington dugout, was knocked uncon- scious for a few moments when he was hit smack in the back of the head - by a batted ball frem Al Blanchard’s war club. The Red Sox were having bauting « practice and Blanchard met a fast one, turned on lit and drove 1t with the speed a bul- |let towards the grand stand. The ball {went so fast that the human eye |could not follow it and a dull thud |was heard and Liedke was. seen to |drop. He was revived after a short {time and insisted on pitching the game. For six innings he pitched air tight ball and then he weakened, this being caused no doubt by the painful injury he received. The big crowd present, most of whom knew the details of the accident, applaud- ed the Wallingford boy's courage in going through with the game when 99 out of 100 men would have had to go to bed. Kensington could not deliver with hits when their hits meant runs, while, on the other hand, twice bungles put Red Sox men on first and they were brought around by clean smacks to the outfield. In the geventh with Al Blanchard on first, Billy Fitzpatrick hit a ball over the bushes in left field which was good for a home run. He was caught cut- ting third base and Umpire Crowley called him out when McCormick tcok the ball and touched the bag. Fitzpatrick's work at short stop was a pretty spectacle of fielding while Ray Begley was the shining light for the losers with five putouts in center field, all except one being hard run- ning catches of fly balls. The game by innings: - First inning: Patrus went out Preisser to Sataline. Kopec flied out to Begley. Bnyder struck out. Preisser flied out to Smith. Sat. aline fiied out ‘to Huber. McCor- mick went out to Al Blanchard un- assisted, Second inning: Huber sent a pret- ty single over second. Smith was safe on Sataline’s error and Huber went to second. Al Blanchard sac- raficed them both up a peg. Fitz- patrick sent a short high fly to cen- ter which Begley bagged and by a pretty throw, he had Huber a mile at home when the “Constable” tried to score. “Ripper” McKeon got leaguer into right field, Fields sac- rificed him to second.
