Kane is the dean of Texas League umpires and it is his first appearance in the Dixie ela-sic. He has not missed an inning. of play in his four years service in the Texas League. Fair Enough Galveston of the Texas League has sold a player to the New York Yankees who has never worn a Sand Crab uniform. He is Andy Cohn, former University of Alabama shortstop.

FINALS IN STATE. NET TOURNEY AT ENCLOSED COURT Semi-Finals and Title Matches on Card in Local Meet, The finals of the State tennis tournament were scheduled today. The covered court at the Boys’ Preparatory School probably will have to be pressed into service again because of rainy weather. Morning matches were scheduled in the singles semi-finals and doubles quarter finals and semi-finals, with the title play this afternoon. The tourney can not very well be postponed as Tilden and Chapin have an engagement elsewhere for Sunday and will be unable to stay over. Dazzling Tennis Tilden advanced to the finals Friday by a dazzling display of the greatest tennis in the world. He won three matches from Hendricks, Sagalowsky and Kuhler in rapid fire order. The results were; Tilden defeated Hendricks, 6-0, 6-1; Tilden defeated Sagalowsky. 6-0, 6-0; Tilden defeated Kuhler, 6-2, 6-3, 6-2. Young Sagalowsky is considered a mighty good junior and the overpowering excellence of the champion's game can readily be shown by the fact that “Sag” could not win a game. Hendricks Battles Hard Hendricks played fine tennis against Bill, but could not pene trate the big Philadelphia's game for decisive points. Kuhler, the fine player from Ohio, gave the master the best battle ar.d succeeded in winning a number of games. Hennessey and Chapin advanced to the semi-finals where they meet each other by defeating McKay and Cox, respectively. Hennessey won | £-6, 6-3, while Cox, continuing in his splendid form shown throughout the meet forced Chapin, the Massachusetts star, to the limit to win. The scores were 6-4, 6-7, 6-y. Tilden and Markey defeated Hentlricks-Cox in the doubles, 6-2, 6-4. Baseball Cate; t AMERICAN ASSOCIATION Von. I.oat.

BROOKLYN SLIPS AS PIRAIE NINE DISPLAYS PUNCH Robins Lose Ground in Hot Pennant Fight—Washington Takes Lead, By HENRY FARRELL United Press Staff Correspondent NEYV YORK, Sept. 20. —Pushed from the ..ifont and dragged from behind, the hard-pressed Brooklyn Robins are now in danger of being removed almost bodily from the National League pennant race. The Giants slapped the Robins in the face Friday by beating the Cubs and the Pittsburgh Pirates tackled them from behind by winning the first game of their most Important series. Bad Day for One The Robins emerged from their had day h. game and a half behind the leading Giants and only a game ahead of the Pirates. The Robins are faced with the necessity of winning today or dropping the series, as they have only three games with the Pirates. The American League situation has now reached the sensational point. The astounding Washington Senators dropped the Browns Friday while the Detroit Tigers were taking a fall out of the Yanks, and the Senators again gained one full game on the champions. One Game Is Valuable One game Is not an imposing lead, but in the case of the Senators and Yankees it is of vital importance. The Senators and the Yankees have nine more games each to play. Washington must lose two more games than the Yankees to be nosed o"ut. of the pennant. As it now stands, Washington can win only four of the nine remaining games and force the Yankees to tviv five out of nine to tie and six out of nine to beat them.

ALLEN’S TEAM BOLSTERS EDGE OVER TRIBESMEN Northmen Win Two While Indians Are Held Idle—Bush’s Club Takes on Speeding Brewers, Ownie Bush and his battered Indians were in Milwaukee today to open a five-game series with the rejuvenated Brewers. A twin bill was scheduled for this afternoon and the same kind of bargain card will be staged Sunday. A single game Monday will wind up the series, and after that the Hoosiers will invade St. Paul to do battle with the leaders.

The Saints bolstered their league lead - Friday by trimming the Columbus Senators twice while the Tribesmen and Colonels were held Idle by rain. It surely was a piece of good luck for Nick Allen’s team to grab a double bill while the second and third place rivals were forced to loaf. Some fans believe the gain made by the Saints Friday just about means the pennant for St. Paul. It was better than an even bet the Indians would have won two at Kansas City Friday had not rain interfered. Bush had Hill, Burwell, Smith and Fitzsimmons ready for work and it was a sad crew that departed from the banks of the Kaw Friday evening without the opportunity of having a chance at that closing twin program. Friday was the Indians' last day in K. C. and the games prevented Friday are canceled from the schedule. In other words those games are gone regardless of w r hat happens during the closing days of the race. The Indians are in poor shape for the struggle down the pennant stretch. Rehg, Allen and Whelan are incapacitated by injuries and Hodapp and Jones are playing under a handicap. Hodapp has a lame ankle and Jones has a bruised finger. The club resembles a limping football squad. HORSESHOE TEAM IN MATCH GAME All-Stars to Meet Sullivan Squad Sunday, The Indianapolis All-Star horseshoe team will leave the Terminal Station at noon Sunday for Brazil, where a picked team from Sullivan, Ind.,* will be pitched. Special rates have been secured and any league pitcher wishing to go should meet the team at the Terminal Station. The. schedule in the City League for Monday night is as follows; Bunite Piston at Diamond Chain. Western Electric at Citizens Gas Indianapolis Light and Heat at Prest-O-Lite Fairbanks-Morse at Merchant* Heat and Light. The Bunite Pistons are still out in front in the league standing. Citizens Gas is in second place and Fairbanks-Morse third.

AMATEUR LINKS TOURNEY STARTS Jones and Evans Named Favorites In Meet, By United Pres• MERION CRICKET CLUB, PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 20. Bobby Jones, Atlanta, and Chick Evans, Chicago', both former national open champions, were picked today as the two entries likely to upset the long run of Eastern domination in American amateur golf. As the qualifying round in the annual national amateur championship started, Jones and Evans seemed the most formidable entries from the old guard, and George Von Elm and Dexter Cummings the most promising of the newcomers.
