Giants, Holding Slim Lead of Three Games, Face Red Challengers in Cincy

BASEBALL WORLD Batches result OF WARM SERIES i McGraw's Champs Fear Moran’s Battlers and WeekEnd of Thrills Promised, iy United Press L CINCINNATI, At g. 4.—Cinpnilati’s tribe of Redlegs and Bite Giants of New York get |own to the business today of Jeciding which team is entitled to first place in the National League race. With the Yankees so far out in front in the American League that they are just about a cinch for the pennant, baseball’s chief interest is centered in the threeway fight in the National ■League between the Giants, ■Reds and Pirates. # Great Chance for Reds headed his champions into series with the Reds with a lead of three games that will be mighty slim if the Reds greet them with the rampage that scalped the Giants on their last trip to Ohio. To get the jump in the series, Pat Moran is expected to call upon Luque. his Cuban star, to pitch two games Luque has been pitching the best ball In the major leagues this season and he has been particularly effective against the Giants. In three previous appearances against them he won three games, two of them being shutouts. Rest Helps Giants Friday's rest, while being of benefit to both teams, should work to more advantage for the Giants and it will give the slim New York pitching star* a brief and much needed breathing spell. Nehf, McQuillan and Scott have been off form and the bulk of the pitching burden has been upon Watson, Ryan and Bentley. They showed good form in their last work. Luque, Donohue and Rixey are three tough pitchers for any club to get over and they will be a problem even for such a saVage attacking club as the Giants. .

REHG ELIGIBLE - FOR 10 DOUBLE WEEKEND BILLS Hickey Lifts Suspension of Tribe Veteran —Four Games With Millers, Two games at the ball yard this afternoon. Two more games at the yard Sunday. No shortage of baseball for Indianapolis fans this week-end. Wet grounds prevented Millers and Indians opening their series Thursday and Friday's contest was postponed owing to the death of President Harding. Therefore, the two twin bills in two days, as the schedule already called for two battles Sunday. One of the postponements will have to remain postponed until the Millers again visit Indianapolis, which will be at the tail-end of the season. Outfielder Walter Rehg was eligible to get back In togs this afternoon. A wire from President Hickey told Walter he was reinstated and thereby his suspension for the row with Umpire Murray came to an end. In add Won to being out of the final fracas with the Brewers the trouble cost Rehg a SSO fine. Good attendance was expected at the twin header this afternoon if the weather cleared, and one of the best crowds of the season is expected to turn out Sunday. The Indians have won four out of the last five games. The flag at Washington Park is at half-mast and will remain so until after the burial of President Harding.

RUMORS OF MANAGERIAL CHANGES AGAIN REVIVED Failure of Certain Teams Causes Reports, Even Though Some Pilots Are Not at Fault. XEA Service Writer NEW YORK, Aug. 4.—Managing a major league ball club is far from a soft proposition. It is doubtful if there is a more uncertain ppsition in the world of sport. Managerial ability is based largely on the games won column. A number of big league teams, expected to do big things, are struggling in the second division. Asa result many managerial changes are hinted t.

Setbacks on Links Only Temporary Generally By Mike Brady... Western Open Champion "TILL beginners, and for that matter a majority of golfers, A. have their periods when instead of improving they seem to be going back. This especially applies to those players who, starting in to play without any instructions, decide to take some lessons, apparently benefit from these and suddenly ... Jv ... and unaccountably drift into a state where they can’t do anything right. They play for a spell worse than they did originally and become dyed-in-the-wool pessimists mlNTra over the outlook. There is a sort of psychology to this state of affairs. It is almost as if the golfing fc Ira fates were bent on testing the golfer’s will power, to see if they can prevail upon him to go back to |||L A ] his old stroke and lose all the progress he has Ilia made. If he is made of the right mettle, he will be all the more determined to stick to his improved game, trusting that in a short time he will recover brady from the attack of inferiority. Nine times out of ten it is only temporary, the muscles and the eye soon readjust themselves and perhaps when they do he will be a better golfer than ever. But for the golfer who gives way to the temptation of getting* back to his old stroke, simply because he was surer of hitting the ball with it, there is little chance of further improvement. Sometimes when the stroke seems lost and everything goes wrong, it is merely a warning that the player needs a little golfing vacation. His mind, his eye and his muscles are tired of the concentration that brings co-ordination.

be attempted unless the diver knows that he is able to jump at least three feet backward from the springboard. Otherwise you may have a bad collision with the board. As these three dives are the basis for all the more fancy diving, I would advise you to practice on them until perfect. Then you can attempt variations and other dives. The best plan for learning the more advanced dives is by careful observation of good divers.

BENTLEY GOING GOOD AFTER BAD STARTipAJORS Former Oriole Now Turning in Some Expert Pitching for McGraw, By United Xetcs NEW YORK, Aug. 4.—Jack Bentley, who cost the New York Giants $65,000, and who was. hailed in the spring A.i an exploded phenom, a high-priced ’.e.non, is living down the odium of a bad start. Because of salary differences Bentley was late in reporting to the Giants. He was many pounds over weight when he joined McGraw's club and needed more than the few weeks given him to get into shape. Asa result of poor condition Bentley's first three or four starts in the National League were sad affairs. It really seemed as if McGraw had been bunked. Critics were ready to place Bentley in the also-ran class. Just when a majority of the experts were weakening on him, Bentley began to show the form that made him tlje town hero in Baltimore. His pitching record shows that in the first fourteen games worked he turned in nine victories. Bentley has not confined his activities to pitching: he has been a whale at the bat. Used as a pinch hitter when not pitching, he is slugging the ball hard. It's beginning to look as if McGraw didn’t get stung at all.

RON OF DEFEATS FAILS TO BREAK CONNIE’S SPIRIT Mack Asserts He Has Good Team, Despite Its Low Position in Race, By BILLY EVANS PHILADELPHIA,*Aug. 4.—Despite the fact that the Athletics are again trailing in the second division, Connie Mack must be regarded as the master mind in baseball. , ~ Even though his club, after a brilliant start, is now floundering about, fighting to escape last place, Mack is still the optimist. He says: “Give me another fl. V-class pitcher, a twirler of the Bender. Coombs or Plank type, and another fence-busting outfielder, and my club will come close to winning the pennant next year. Injuries and Illness “I have the nucleus of a great team. It has been sorely riddled by injuries and Illness, but It is still out there fighting for every game. It is a team that doesn’t quit. That is the greatest asset of a ball club, gameness.” About the middle of June I was umpiring a series in Philadelphia. At that time the Athletics were being heralded as th£ sensations of the league. Mack’s proteges were only about three games behind the Yankees who Y ere leading the league. Prior to working at Philadelphia I had been with the New York club for some time. They Respected Mack All of the Yankee players had the greatest respect for Mack’s team. They felt the Mackmen was one club they had to beat out if it continued to get good pitching. Coming out to start the Saturdary game on June 16 with Cleveland, I chatted a few minutes on the bench with Manager Mack. “Your club is certainly surprising the fans all over the country,” I remarked. “If it continues to get good pitching it to be Just as troublesome and as big a surprise the rest of the race.” At that time Naylor, Helmach, Hasty, Rommel apd Harris were ail doing fine work. Naylor’s Injury Costly “Had my first bad luck of the season a few minutes ago, replied Mack. “Naylor turned his leg while fielding fly balls in the outfield and his knee appears badly injured. “If Naylor is out for any length of time it may play havoc with my team. Chicago comes for a series next. Naylor always beats Chicago. I had planned to use him twice against the White Sox. With him out for any length of time my entire staff wijl suffer. There is no telling how serious it may prove.” Naylor at that time had won eight games out of nine and was the most effective twirler in the* American League. His injury started the Athletics on the road to Tuin. He out over six weeks.
