Ly the Amsoviated Press It would seem to an un server that Jack Scott around baseball long enough to know that old “Cy” Williams i poison in his own back yard. Jack apparently forgot all about | “Cy's" reputation at Philadelphia yesterday and so the New York Giants lost a golden opportunity to | shave a full game off the National | lcague lead of Bill McKechnie's St. | | hiased ob- | has been | | | Louis Cardinals. It was like this: The Giants had rudely bumped Jimmy Ring and the Phils into somewhat ignominious defeat in the first game of a double header, 9 to 4, and were leading, 7 to 6 in the second when Scott. reclaimed from Toledo, entered the box to pitch the ninth inning against the tail-enders. He got rid of Thompson but Klwin singled. fly and it appeared the game was over. Enter Mr. Williams, waving a bat menacingly, but Cy's countenance was placid and that may have lulled Scott into a feeling of security. However that may be, Jack served one down Cy's “alley” and the cld timer clouted it over his favorite right field wall, scoring behind Klein and pulling the game out of the fire, | §to 7, Instcad of gaining ground. the Giants really lost some for the Chi- cago Cubs also put on a ninth inning 1ally at the cxpense of the Pitts- burgh Pirates and advanced to with- in an eye lash of the second place Giants. The figurcs in this mathematical tangle were: New York, .5748, and Chicago, .5746. The Pirates' defeat, suffered by a score of 9 to 8 when Hargreaves threw wild in an attempted double play in the ninth inning, put the Piratcs back into fifth place, a point behind the Cincinnati Reds who. with the Cardinals, had a day of idleness, Getting two hits during the set-to, Paul Waner. great Pirate outfielder, ran his hit collection to 300 for the scason, the first National feaguer to perform the feat. Heine Manush, of the 8t. Louis Browns, reuched the 200 mark on Monday. Brooklyn. took both ends of a ioubls header with the Boston israves. 3 to 2, in 10 innings, and 9 to 2. Flowers' homer gave Dazzy Vance his 13th victory in the open- cr. Jess Petty, Ray Moss and Wil- liam Watson Clark held Boston to scven hits in the nightcap, Petty re- tiring after giving only five hits and a single run before he retired at the end of the sixth inning. In the American league, the Ath- letics came back strong after their double Labor day reverse at Wash- ington, gnd trounced the Senators, 9 to 2. Rube Wahlberg was touch- ed for 10 hits but was supreme in the pinches. The victory put the O's within two games of the idle New York Yankees. The Chicago White Sox, their second double header in as many days from Detroit, stepped into a fourth place tie with the Sen- ators, the score in each game being 3 to 2. The 8t. Louis Browns bunched hits in three innings to down the Cleveland Indians, 9 to 6, for the third straight time. American League taking (FIRRT GAME) OKTROI AB Neun, 1b .

Puper Goods .. anley Rule .. B. Machine Works 6 i 3 10 Up until last night, the Stanley Works baseball team in the Indus- trial lcague had suffered only one defeat but in u postponed contest Fatnirs at Walnut Hill park, this number of iosses was increased 10 two. The Bearing Makers, show- ing better form than in any other ganie previous to last night, played the Stanley Works team n the early innings and had ¢nough runs to win before the affair developed into a farce in the sixth inning. Jim Havlick who several seasons ago, joined the ranks of veteran dia- wond cumpuigners, essayed the task of turning this year's champions back and Jim was more than cqual 1o the task. He allowed two hits in the seven innings in which he toiled and he would casily had a shutout had he remained in the box. He gave way in the cighth to his son, Al who was nicked for the only runs, three, which the Stanley Works was able to get. The champions played listlessly from the start until the finish. See- ing that the game was lost, the Buttmakers changed positions and used every man on the squad. “Ty Cobb™ Gaida ended the game in the pitcher's box and had the honor of striking out one man. Fafnirs got the jump in the first {hree innings by scoring five runs. One more was added in the fifth and three more in the seventh when Joe Kania sent one over into Diamond No. 2 for a home run. Another was scorcd in the eighth, making the to- tal for Kafnirs 10. Hits were scarce on both sides, Fafnirs getting six and Stanley Works only five. Seven errors com- mitted by the Stanley Works play- with |ers gave Iafnirs many lives which | they would not have had otherwise. Stanley Works started off with Salak on the mound. He was shelled off and Abramowicz took his place. Warner Johnson relieved him and then Gaida ended the game. Judging from the game put up by the Fafnir team last night, Stan- ley Works in its best form, would have had diffculty in winning. Every man on the Fafnir team played snappy baseball and the victory was well earned despite the fact that the game had a farcal ending. This was the last game of the sva- son in the league for both teams. Jimmer O'Bricn featured with nice catches in the outfield while Saluk starred at short for the Stanley Works.

SWIMMING STARS ~ TAKE OFF TODAY Iey Cold Waters of Lake On- fario Await Marathon Starters Toronto, Scpt. 6§ (®—Icy coid water in Lake Ontario awaited the take-off today of 256 swimming stars in the Canadian expesition’s 15-mile marathon for men. Swimming ex- perts were agreed that not more than 20 athletes would remain in the water after the contest had been un- der way for three hours, and two or three went so far as to assert that not even one entrant would survive to the finish of the contest which holds $35,000 in prize money. Kthel Hertle of New York, winner of the women's race last week and eligible therefore for the men’s will not com- pete, Women marathoners found old Ontario fairly warm last week with ) [the temperature around 65 degrees. Unfavorable conditions developing since that time have chilled the lake until the thermometers now register from 50 to 52 degrees. Favorites in today's exacting con- test include Ernest Vierkoetter, the German who won last year: George Young, Canadian conqueror of Cata- lina; Norman Koss of Chicago. and Byron Summers, the California “fiving fish.” Others rated close to the first flight are Wil ckson, the Rrooklyn plasterer, third in last year's marathon; George Michel of I'rance, second last year; Herr Von Papentus of South Africa, and Men- die Purditt $f Toronto, The distance, however is deemed 100 short for Vierkoetter, who banks more on endurance than on specd. |Tor these reasons, many believe George Young will repeat his suc- cess in the first Wrigley marathon, and take t prize. he cover me which won will make si laps instead wale star course over m last week, but two and one-half mils of four.

Frank Lanza of Kensington won the singles tennis title of the Hart- ford County Y. M. C. A, by defeat- ing Frank Kramer of East Berlin fn a thrilling and brilliantly played final match at Walnut Hill park last evening, the scores being 4-6, 6-1 and 6-4. Lanza, who was the tour- nament favorite, drew the three stiffest opponents in the competi- tion, eliminating R. W. Hurlburt of Southington in the first round, Ed Hanny of Plainville in the semi- finals, and Kramer last night, giving him a clear and well-earned right to the title by virtue of his trio of gruelling three-set victories. He was the conqueror in a field of 12 play- ers. Kramer began last night as if he were going to upset calculations, for, after losing the first game, he took his own serve and meved ahead to a 5-2 lead. Here Lanza braced and won two games, but Kramer again came through on his service and won the set. Kramer's work in this set was almost faultless. He played every shot with great thought and judgment, driving Lanza back and forth across the court and scoring many beautiful placements in spite of lanza's wonderful work in mak- |Ing miraculous returns of shots aungly far beyond his reach. The second set found Lanza brac- ing and turning his terrific speed to advantage for an easy victory which squared the match. The deciding set was another whirlwind affair, with teach man taking his serve until the score stood at 4-4. Then, with the crucial games ahead, Kramer was overcome by nervousness and Lanza battered through him for two love games, Kramer went down with glory, as he played fine tennis with great thought and deliberation, but Lanza showed himself too fast and experienced for him and subdued { him by the sheer force of his wicked drives and aces. The South church doubles team of New Britain moved into the final round by taking Kensington into camp in straight sets in a semi-final match, 7-5, 6-3. Ted Wessels and Al- den Hewett made up the winning {team, while Kensington was repre- | sented by Frank Giana and Frank |'Andrews. In the opening set the teams alternated at winning by cap- | turing games on their service until the score was 3-3. New Britain final- ly broke through and pulled ahead to 5-3, but Kensingion came back to do the same thing and even the again. It was vain, for New Britain repeated its performance and ran out the set. Giana starred in this set, his serviee being un- returnable and giving Kensington {iaree love games, iargely on aces. New Britain got away to a quick art in the second tilt and won the first four games handily. Kensington | then braced and fought buck to take | the next three games, but the local | pair stopped them at 4-3 and then | hammered out a victory by taking the next two game Wessels and Giana featured for their respective teams. The play of Wessels ot the next was excellent, fed making his uspal quota of er- ratic shots but offsetting them with | many perfeetly placed returns for {placements which brought needed | points at critical moments. Hewett | gave him good support in the back | court.

After defeating Taftville Saturday and representing itself as & team of champions, the Kensington crew turned turtle and played like schoolboys to lose on Sunday, sup- porters of the team say. This has angered not only the management and the fans of the town, but it has also got in under the skin of the players on the team and from the talk being handed out in the Paper Goods town these daya, the Rangers are due to run up against a tiger-like assembly on their second invasion of the town next Sunday. The victory of the Rangers, to outsiders, was not 50 much of a sur- prise following the battle of that team against the alcons the Sun- day before. Under.rated from the first, the Rangers proved that they are in a class with the best by bat. tling the Kalcons to a 6 to 3 des cision and then defeating Kensing- ton last Sunday. To Kensington fans, however, there was absolutely no reason at all why the Rangera should have won. All of this should result in a battle in the second game which he played next Sunday afternea 3 o'clock. The Rangers are r and they figure that they hase * edge. Kensington is more mined than ever to get back into * running. With their hacks to 1"e wall, the Kensington players kncw that they will either have to win or be out of the running for the city baseball championship. The game Sunday afternoon will start promptly at % o'clock with the Rangers heing the home team. Lynch, McKeon and Paul will um. pire.
