Nehf Stamped Real Hurler

Artie Nehf is a sure-enough Pitcher. This was his third start since joining the Braves. And the second game that he has won by a 2 to 1 score. His nrst effort was against the Pirates, whom he beat, 2 to 0, driving in both runs Himself. He had the Cubs 4 to 0 when ft series of errors in the Brave innela allowed them to tie the score through lio fault of his own, and the game endlid in a tie at 4 to 4. Today he came through with a sajnple of the real article He was never in the hole on a ingle batter, evidently being that rare ype of hurler, a southpaw with control. 3is one fielding chance was a terrific liner from Groh's bat in the ninth found, which he caught for the first Cut. Most pitchers would have sidestepped the chance. He got one of the two hitB made off Dale, a clean single tp left field, and he weighed in with a long fly in the seventh that scored a run, and was as good as a hit.. Nehf is not a h'ig man, but he is very sturdy. Se worlcs fast in the box, but not too fast, and he has a great curve ball. So far as he has gone he looks like an fdeal southpaw. He was tipped off to the Rods three months ago, but no attention was paid to tht. information. Now Boston has him and he is going to be quite a factor in the race for the ljest of the season.—Jack Ryder in the Cincinnati Enquirer.

50 Mile Championship, 10 Mile Match and Time Trials to Compose Speed Program

An automobile race meet will be staged at the local half mile track Sunday, September 19. Three events—• fifty-mile interstate championship, tenmile match and' time trials—"-will compose the program.

The ten-mile match race will bring together the Courter Special and the Cornelian, two of the fastest little cars in the world. A- side bet of |2,500. not stage money, has been wagered on the outcome, so confident are the respective owners of the two flyers. The Courter has been in twenty races this season, and the only loss sustained was In the local 100-mller in which the car crashed into the fence. The Cornelian is an Indianapolis speedway creation capable of making eighty miles an hour. The match races prom

DARIO RESIA OPENS UP

FORT SWELLING, Minn., Sept. 1.— It was predicted last night, following the qualifying trials for Saturday's 600-mile race, that frequent changes of drivers may become necessary on account of the concrete construction of the new Twin City speedway. The question of how much tax the nature of the course wottld put on the driver being uncertain. Among the drivers who Wedlesday made good time on the course were Dario Resta and Gil Anderson, the former going one lap in 1:10:04, or at the rate of 102.8 miles an hour, breaking the track record, while Anderson circled the course at at an average speed of 100.05 miles an hour.

Five other entrants registered speeds varying from 85 to 98 miles per hour. Thetrials were concluded without accident.

AUTO RACES SEPT. 19

ises to be one of the most sensational auto clashes ever witnessed in Terre Haute.

The 50 mile championship event will bring together the fastest small cars in the world, including the Cornelian and Courter. At least ten entries are ex peoted for the title event.

The mile time trials for the Wabash troptjgj, a beautiful silver cup, are expectc«. to furnish speed galore. The trophy is a swell affair and the pilots are sure to open wide their machines in their efforts to haul down the cup.

The races will be staged under the auspices of the Terre Haute Haoing association, the same organization which staged, the recent 100 mile £vent. The association had nothing to do with the ''wild cat" meet held a few weeks ago at the local track.

Will Joe Wood Facef 5 *,, the Great Alexander?

Are Alexander, the great Philadelphia pitcher, and Joe Wood, the sensational Red Star slabster, to be the pitchers who will meet in the final game of the world series?

The Phillies and the Red Sox are leading their respective leagues, and certainly, If they finish in front, Moran and Carrigan will send their best pitchers into the opening game.

Wood is leading the American league's regular pitchers, with thirteen games won and four lost. He has come back and is pitching nearly as good baseball as he did in 1912. when his great work carried the Boston Red Sox to a world series championship.

Alexander has held the Phillies at the front through the hard summer campaign, but seems to be wavering a bit under the heavy pressure. He has won twenty-four games and lost nine This season Alexander has pitched three one-hit games and two two-hit games. Four times the enemy has made only four hits while he was in the box

WEST HAS4SIHVIV0RS DIM GOLF MEET

Fight for National Amateur Cham' pionship Narrows Down to Eight Players.

DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 2.—The fight for the national amateur golf championship, which is being waged on the country club course, today narrowed jto four pairs. The west has four survivors—two from Chicago and two from Detroit Three of the big brigade are from the east—two being from New York state and the other from that home of many ehampions. New Jersey. Nelson Whitney( of New Orleans, is the only hope of the sunny south.

Robert A. Gardner, of Chicago, was lined up against his fellow townsman, D. E. Sawyer, who represents the Wheaton, 111., golf club. Max Marston, *of Springfield, N. J., who toppled Jerome Traver$ yesterday, played Howard Lett, of Detroit. James D. standlsh, Jr., of Detroit, youthful conqueror of

Francis Ouimet, the national champion, had Sherrll Sherman, of Utica, N. Y., for his opponent. Whitney met John G. Ander*om of Mt. Vernon, Two rounds of match play each of 18 holes, was the test. A place In the semi-finals tomorrow was the prize.

Predicting the likely winners today was a task which stopped even chronic guassers. Sawyer and Standi sh each had a strong following but their competitors and tne rest of the field claimed many spectators. After the «urprlses which occurred yesterday it was generally felt that every match was a toss-upt

Sawyer has? been considered one of the stars of the tournament. Howard Lee, favored by a familiar course, has twice equaled the medal play record of 72 since Monday. He won from Eben Byers, of Pittsburgh, 'by a big score and from Hamilton Kerr, of Manchester, Vermont, by even a larger margin yesterday. All he was asked to do today. however, was to defeat Max R. Marston.

Yesterday afternon Marston shot the last nine holes in 33, three strokes under par.

Standish was ready for his third struggle in three days. Tuesday he had to play 37 holes to defeat w. C. Fownes, Jr., of Pittsburgh. He was one down when he went out with Ouimet yesterday afternoon. Sherman was winner of the only 87 hole contest played yesterday.

BAKER WILL BE SOLD TO NEW YORK YANKS

flonnie ]ffack Agrees to Sell Home Run Slugger for $15,000, It is Said

PHILM.DELPUIA. Pa.. Sept. 2.—The sale of J. Franklin Baker, former third baseman of the Athletics, and "Home Run King" of the American league, will be announced shortly unless Connie Mack refuses to go through with the deal discussed Wednesday. Ban Johnson, president of the American league President Lannin, of Boston Vice President Huston, of the New York Americans, and President B. F. Shibo, of the Athletics, were in conference all afternoon and the transfer to the Yankees is expected to be made. The sale was outright and the price is believed to be $15,000.

The sale of Baker is part of the lan devised by American league magnates to strengthen the Yankees and boost the game in New York, where interest in baseball has fallen off, due to the poor showing of the Giants and the tumbling fortunes of the Yankees. More than one American league club will contribute to the upfruilding of the Yankees, but Baker is the only player known to have been settled upon for transfer so far.

Ban Johnson stopped off in New York yestehrday and came here today accompanied by Capt. Huston, of the Yankees, the tip being given out that Johnson's trip east was for the purpose of starting a crusade against gambling at the ball parks. As soon as the magnate? pot together, however. Johnson proposed the Baker deal and Huston expressed his willingness to pay a liberal price for the "fence buster." There is little doubt but that New York will pay dearly for Baker because Connie Mack has repeatedly declared he would not allow Baker to go to any other major league club.
