MOOSE TAKES LEAGUE LEAD FROM ROTARY Coffeemen Ma k e Hard Effort in Final Inning; Score, 10-9 The Moose junior baseball team went back into the Legion league lead for the city baseball championship by de-1 feating the Rotary junior team at South Ward diamond last night by a score of 10-9.| It was one of the most inter-‘ esting an d fastest played games of the season. Few errors marred the tilt b“twe n the two leading contenders for the title and both batteries worked in great style. Fisher and Belie maim, Moose shortstop and cutUeldor, who were responsible tor several errors when the Moose and Rotary teams met in the elimination tourney, made up for their previous work by grabbing off a lot of hard tries for Rotary outs. The game was even all the way though and d- spite a slight blowup of the Rotary fielding staff in the first halt of the seventh the Coffeemen were in the Im t tie to win all the way through. The Moose team went into the final inning, trailing 7-6. The blowup coupb d with three clean hits accounted for four runs. The Rotary team came to bat determined to give their opponents a battle. With two down, a rally that almost sent the Rotary team over to a win started. Two runs crossed the plate and two men were on base when Ogg, who had hit safely throughout the game smashed the ball to the infield for the third out. Carl Ritter and Dale Myers divided the mound for the winners and pitched effectively. Strikler served behind the bat in good shape ami his wing to second was as near perfect as it has been throughout the season’s play. Ogg was on the mound for the Rotary team and pitched a good game. His support faltered in the seventh inning, but throughout the disaster lie pitched good ball. Omlor worked behind the bat for the loseis and accounted well for him* self. F. Peterson, M.

The Roldns regained the lead yesterday, partly through the cooperation of the New York Giants, who held the Chicago Cubs even in a doubleheader, hut largely through an unexpectedly brilliant performance by Hollis Thurston, “Bull Pen" pitcher. Robinson's pitching staff was riddled by the slugging of the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals during the past week and lie gambled on Thurston to start the game. Thurston held St. Louis to three scratch hits and won his game 1 to ), only one Cardinal getting as far as second base. A ninth inning rally which produced two runs gave the Chicago Cubs a 5 to 4 victory over New York in the first game of a doubleheader but the Giants came back to win the second game, 6 to 1. Philadelphia defeated Pittsburgh. 11 to 5, in the only other National league game. Phil Collins pitch ed for the winners and I d the attack with a pair of homers and a single. George Uhle’s pinch single in the eighth Inning drove in two tuns and gave Detroit a 6 to 5 triumph over the Athletics.

, MOE FAVORED IN TOURNAMENT I Chicago, July 23. — (U.R) — Don 1 Moe of Portland. Ore., was favpred to retain his title as he and 31 other contestants Parted out over the Beverly Country club course today In the first round of match play for the western amateur golf championship J Two Chicago golfers, Chick EvJans and Johnny Lehman, were con(lced 1 <1 the best chances of taking , 'the title from the youthful OregonJI lan. They tied for medalist lionJOTS with 147's in tile qualifying rounds which ended yesterday. A notch behind the three leaders were Don Armstrong of Aurora, 111., and Ira Couch of Chicago, both v ith 151. Armstrong faltered In Ills campaign for medaiist honors when he took an 80 yesterday to pair with his splendid 71 for tile opening day’s play. t The favorite with the galleries was the veteran Evans, who won both tile American open and amateur titles 14 y ars ago. He scored a 72 yesterday to add to his 75 of the fust day for the total which equalled Lehman's qualifying rounds of 73 and 74. On stroke behind Armstrong and Couch were grouped three other outstanding goiters, all witli i!s2’s. The* were Cyril Tolley, British amateur champion last year, 1 end George Dawson and Rudy j Knepper, both of Chicago. Twenty-nine players had 158 or uettir to enter the list of qualifie s and ten others were tied at 159. i’h y were forced to go to extra holes to decide who would get the remaining two qualification places. Tlie outstanding "hard luck" play■r yest' iday was Lloyd Nordstrom if Davenport, la. He shot a 72 Monday but finished yesterday with in 84 for a 156 total, which left him barely within the ranks of the qualifiers. Moe was not required to go through the qualifying rounds, since each year's champion automatically is exempt from qualifying the following season. The executive committee decided yesteiday to introduce a seeded draw for the first time in the history of the tournament. The drawpits the b.st players against those of little renown, so the goiters capable of turning in the lowest scores will meet in the final rounds and not be eliminated in the early play.
