CHARITY GAMES ARE FEATURE New Ybrk, Sept. 9. <U.R> —With the New York Yankees and Giants an(j the Chicago White Sox and Cults meeting today in “charity” games. baseball followers will be provided with a pre-world series test of The strength of the American and National leagues. Single games do not provide an accurate measure as to the strength of the competing teams but with the four clubs using their strongest lineups, today's contests should furnish tin indication of the reaction of American league hitters to the National league's "dead ball" and of National league pitchers to the thin-covered and livelier American league ball. The charity games at New York and Chicago—both of which promise to attract near capacity crowds —are expected to be a forerunner of “city series.” All receipts of today’s contests will be given to the unemployed and the duh owners.have promised to arrange postseason city series if attendance at today’s contest indicate the fans are interested. Only two regular league games are scheduled today. Brooklyn invading Pittsburgh in the National league and Washington playing at Philadelphia in the only American league contest. Yesterday’s competition was featured by Lefty Grove's 10 to 1 triumph mvr Washington. The vic-, tory was Grove’s 28th of the year against three defeats and practically assured the Philadelphia star of reaching the 30-minner class. In the other American league games st. Louis defeated Detroit, 3 to 2, and Cleveland took a doubleheader from Chicago, 8 to 7 and 6 to 3. Ralph Kress’s homer with a mate on base in the. eighth gave St. Louis its victory over Detroit. Cleveland was outhit in both games with Chicago but came from behind to win the first game with a three-run rally in the seventh and clinched the second by scoring five runs in the first inning. Philadelphia held the New Y'ork Giants to an even break, winning the first game of a doubleheader, 3 to 1, and losing the second. 1 to 3. Brooklyn staked a four-run attack in the eighth to break a 6-all tie and defeated Boston, 10-6. Bill Harris, celebrated his major league return by pitching Pittsburg to a 3-0 triumph over Cincinnati. Yesterday’s hero: Lefty Grove, Philadelphia Athletics ace. who pitched his 28th victory of the season in defeating Washington, 10 to 1. Grove allowed only seven bits, fanned seven, and walked one.

Arizona Elks Urge Elk Hunting In State Winslow. Ariz.. Sept. '. —(U.R) — ■ Elk hunting, long since outlawed, may be revived in Arizona as a result of the efforts of the Winslow) lodge of Elks. It is pointed out that approximately 3.5u0 elk now roam the Sitgreaves National Forest and it is insisted that permitting a limited amount of hunting would attract sportsmen to the state, as well as I prevent too great destruction of grazing. The Arizona herd of elk was I started in 1913 by the Globe lodge, 'of which Governor George W. P Hunt is a member, by imporation of a carload of elk, which have multiplied many times. Various lodges have joined with Winslow in urging the Fish and Game commission to permit elk hunting. o Ever Think of That? “Many a said Uncle Eben. “thinks other folks is ungrateful when he’s merely holdin' a ’zaggenWed idea of de importance of | his services.’’—Washington Star.

WOOD DENIES : ANY TRICKERY Detroit. Sept. 9 —(U.R) — Gar j Wood, the "Fox of Grayhaven" to--1 day repudiated his alleged admis- , sion that he saved the Harmsworth , trophy for America by trickery. The white-haired speed king 1 denied he deliberately lured the challenger. Kaye Don. across the ) starting line ahead of the gun. Wood, in the Miss America IN, and Don in his Miss England 11. “jumped the gun" by nearly ten seconds in the second heat Monday. in a mad dash to beat each other to the start. Both were disqualified and yesterday Wood's Miss America VIII cruised around the course alone to win the famous trophy. Obviously by the storm nf criticism both in the United States and England, Wood declared he had no thought of disqualifying either himself or his rival when i he made the fatal dash. "Stories of such a ‘plot’ are highly absurd.” he told the Unfted Press. “Why, we didn’t have time to think up such a stunt. My statements have been misinter-1 preted. I have made no admission that I tricked Don." "Os course I said it was ‘just a Yankee trick’ but all I meant was the trick of getting in front and staying there, which would have won the heat for us if we hadn’t been disqualified.” Wood then went on to tel! his version of the mad race that end-, ed when Don's big white Miss) England II overturned and was wrecked in the wash of the Miss I America. "We knew.” he explained, ‘‘that Don’s boat wouldn’t ride smoothly ip our wake, and we determined to make him suffer the disadvantage under which we lost the first heat . Sundav. So before the start I said to Orlin Johnson, who handled my! throttles. ‘You get in front of him and stay there and don’t let him pass tin. If he gets the jump on us I’ll sock you with the fire extinguisher “That’s the only ‘plot’ we made. Don had repeatedly told us he didn’t need to watch the starter, because he had his start perfectly timed. So I assumed he wouldn’t chase us fast enough to beat the gun by more than the five seconds allowed. But when I started to run for the line he tried to pass us. and Or'.in simply carried out my orders. I wasn't paving much attention to the ’line. All I could think of was that Miss England behind ns. I iv»ver knew we were disqualified until they gave me the! red flag.” Meanwhile, the Miss England. 1 her slim white hull torn to shreds i by the force of her cracktip. was I being dismantled to be shipped to England. HIGHWAY AND COUNTY FUNDS CUT 21 CENTS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONF.i j general rate.
