mT is hoped by those pulling for St. Louis Cards to win the National League pennant that President Sam Breadon’s prediction that his club is ‘‘in,’’ turns out a little better than another statement of his made just the other day. Breadon remarked that Frank Snyder, catcher obtained from the Giants, would be a great help in the final dasli. A press disuatch today says that Snyder is on his way home, having refused to sign a contract for the remainder of the year. Now it would be another great shock to Sam if St. Louis would get bumped off at Chicago, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. Those are three tough cities to visit in a row. We really believe that the Cubs and Reds are more dangerous right now than Pittsburgh. Their pitching staffs are stronger. The Cards should not be rated too highfy, because they defeated the Pirates. Don’t give them the flag for a while yet. Don't get excited like the Mound City fans. Os course St. Louis has as good a chance as any other Victories in the PittsBhirgh series may have “made” club. Enthusiasm is very "catching” and the fervor of the fans may spur the team to tiie pennant. But, as yet, there are three other teams very much in the running. mT seems a though there must be some honor and glory attached to the remodeling of Dempsey's nose. A surgeon in Chicago and one in Los Angeles both want credit for the job. The Los An gees nose architect has filed application in the United States Circuit Court at Chicago for an order restraining the Windy City surgeon from advertising himself as the man, who made over the champ’s beak. The good doctors should wait until after the Tunney fight in Philadelphia. Maybe no one will want credit for the new nose. * * * There is a race at both ends of the National League. The Cards, Reds, Pirates and Cubs are fighting for the top berth. The Braves aud Phillies are struggling to keep out of the cellar. Philadelphia climbed over the Beantown team into seventh place by winning all throe games in the series which closed on Wednesday. mODAY’S sport news feature —Walter Hagen did NOT win the Chicago disrrict golf tournament. MacDonald imith shot a 277 to cop the honors. And some people gave this column the horse laugh when it suggested that Smith had a fine chance for the Western open title. Lord knows we don’t know much about golf—but we can read the papers and ‘‘listen around.” • ♦ • If Red Grange isn’t careful he will be outshone by a back field member of his own pro team this fall. Eddie Tryon, former Colgate star, lias been signed to play with the New York “Yankees” by C. C. Pyle. If Grange is a comet, Tryon is, at least, a meteor. If Grange is a galloping ghost, Tryon is a wriggling wraith.

Puzzling Plays By Billy Evans t With a runner on both shcond and third bases, the pitcher stopped into the box, faced the batter and began to wind up by malting three distinct and complete rev. olutions with his throwing hand, and with the ball grasped therein. The runner on third base, apparently believing the pitcher. by the above mentioned actions, had started his delivery to the batter, took a big lead, believing the pitcher must complete his delivery to the batter, but at the end ot the third revolution above mentioned. the pitcher suddenly laced and threw to third basn. The runner, believing the pitcher had balked, made no effort to recover his base and was touched and called out. * * * The pitcher balked. Rule 34. Section 1. says in part: Any motion made by the gifeher while in position to deliver the all to the baiter without delivering it is a balk. In above play, runner on third was entitled to score and runner on second was entitled to third. Rule 34. Section 8. further states: Making any motion with arm. shoillder. hip or-body the pitcher habitually takes in his method of delivery. without immediately delivering tile ball to the batter, is a balk. ACME FOOTBALL The Acme A. A. football team held a signal drill Wednesday night at Rhodius Park and thirty-five reported to Coach Masten for tryouts. The A.

Jaqua in overwhelming fashion today at Coffin course, 7 and 6, in the Indianapolis Women’s Golf Association annual tournament finals.

Genet and Stribiing fought at West Palm Beach and the honors were awarded Genet in the sixth round. “Pa” Stribiing jumped into the ring and struck the referee. It is said Genet floored Stribiing in the second round, which is the reason given for Stribiing rough tactics. Genet fights mlddleweights and light heavies and is a good boxer to give fans action. “Win, lose or draw, always a fight,” is the way Manager Walsh describes Norm. He has a long ring record and has been In. the ring with many prominent fisticuffers.

St. Louis Nearly Two Games Ahead of Pirates After Winning Series. Times Bnecinl NEW YORK, Sept. 2.—The St. Louis Cardinals have played the last of their home games, and Mound City fans will see them no more this year unless Rogers Hornsby’s crew brings home the first National League pennant that fanatical baseball town on the Mississippi ever has raised. In departing, the Cardinals treated a ball parkfull of rabid enthusiasts to a 5 to 2 victory over the world's champions, winning one of the most important series of the season, and raising the hopes of St. Louisans to the bursting point. The prospect of St. Louis’ first major league pennant appeared brighter after the Pittsburgh series than ever before. Reinhardt joined little Sherdel and Alan Sotlioron as Pirate baiters by turning back the world’s champions with but six hits Wednesday. Ray Kremer, one of Bill McKechnie’s chief twirling hopes, was going along nicely until the sixth, with a one-run lead and plenty of control. Then the Cardinals fell upon him and took the ball game. Nearly Two Games The victory gives St. Louis a lead of nearly two full games over the Corsairs. With a good record on the road this year, the Cardinals look forward with confidence to winning their first pennant. They hooked up with the Cubs at Chicago today in a double-header. The Pirates, seemingly unable to hi;: at a most important turning point in the National League race, will enjoy no such enthusiastic support from their h)me fans as was accorded the Cardinals in the series just completed While baseball is played for money and not for glory, this apathy of Pittsburgh fans towards thHr team’s success, following the dismissal of Carey, Adams and Bigbee, may have an important bearing on the outcome. Yanks Win The New York Yankees, facing the appalling possibility of losing a pennant after having established an almost unprecedented lead, resurrected old "Dutch” Ruether, recently bought from Washington, and stuck him in the box against the Athletics Wednesday. “Dutch,” with a vision of world's series coin ahead, pitched his head off, and the Yankees won, 6 to 4. They not only won, but they upset tradition by knocking their archenemy "Lefty” Grove, out of the box, and hammering four other Philadelphia pitchers. Their victory increased their lead to six games.

TUNNEY EASES UP HIS TRAINING FOR TITLE GO Advisers Fear Gene Has Worked Too Hard—Burke Joins Jack Dempsey’s Camp.

Bv United Prrgg STROUDSBURG, Pa., Sept. 2. Gene Tunney was vacationing today from the training grind he must undergo to be fit for his fight with Dempsey at Philadelphia, Sept. 23. The challenger was in need of rest. After a late arrival here Wednesday night, he was greeted with a loud welcome—an echo of that he received in Philadelphia during the day. He motored out to the Glen Brook Country Club after the festivities. A ring has been erected on the clubhouse lawn, but Tunney is not likely to step into it for more than a cursory glance until Saturday. Evidently Billy Gibson and other

New Noses for Grid Stars

Bu United Press SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., Sept. 2. —New noses have reached front the ring to the gridiron. The latest to follow the example of Jack Dempsey and have plastic surgery on their nasal organs are “Tut” Intlay, captain of the 1925 University of California football team, and, ‘‘Snooky*’ Mell, star end. The two had their noses straightened during the summer—and the Students’ Association of the University paid the bill.

NEW SPARRING PARTNER New Orleans Heavy to Trade Punches With Champion .lack. Bu United Pregg ATLANTIC CITY, N. J„ Sept. 2. Jack Dempsey was expeettd to put a little added zest into his blows today as he resumed training after a day away from camp. Anew sparring partner was available for the champion and plans were made for the two to mix this afternoon. The addition is Martin Burke, New Orleans heavyweight, who five years ago added much to Dempsey's drill for his bout witli Carpentier. Bill Tate and -Charlie Anderson, Negro heavies, also were ready to slip into their togs. All Indications were for one of the most strenuous workouts yet. The champion was likely to be willing to have eight or nine rounds of fast ring work. Wednesday Jack visited a home for crippled children and went motoring later in the day.

AROUND THE A. A.

By Eddie Ash Rain prevented action in the A. A. Wednesday and all games were postponed. The Indians were to play a double-header in Toledo this afternoon. Louisville was carded for a twin bill at Columbus and doubleheaders also were likely In St. Paul and Minneapolis. Dick Meade, president, and Casey Stengel, manager, were to have a day In their honor at Toledo this afternoon. Ball players of Indians and Hens were given a banquet at noon, and between games of the dou-ble-header a number of field events were to be held with pastimers of both clubs participating. Leroy Pf rmclee, ID, a pitcher from an independent league in Michigan, has been signed for a trial with the Hens. He is a right-hander. Believing themselves out of the pennant fight, the Indians sold Carmen Hill to Pittsburgh. But anything can happen in baseball and the Bushmen might put over a fooler and go to the top. Stranger things have occurred. However, the sale of Ilill is likely to cause the locals to Blump rather than climb, and they probably will have to battle hard to escape falling out of the first division. Inflelder Carter, the college rookie obtained from the Cincy Reds, has been released by the Indians. It is understood the Reds made Carter a free agent after the Tribe let him go. Toledo and Kansas City are making strenuous efforts to pull up as the end of the season approaches. Toronto has a good lead in the International League and the postseason series between the International flag winners and the A. A. champs is expected to prove a harvest for the ball players. Toronto is a wild baseball town. Carmen Hill, toting twenty-one A. A. victories, was due to Join the Pirates In Cincinnati today.

John (Hippo) Thompson, former Tribe pitcher, now with Terre Haute, has pitched two games for the Tots and has finished on the short end both times. Joe Munsdn, outfielder, sent to the "Hut” by the Indians, is hitting .292. The winter coal hill is the least of Carmen Hill’s thoughts. The extra coin he will cam as a big leaguer will buy plenty of fuel. Baseball fans of Madison, Ind., are pulling hard for the St. Louis Cards. Thevenow, Card shortstop, learned the game on Madison lots. “Thevenow day” will be celebrated in Cincinnati, Sunday, when the Cardinals battle the Reds arid most of Madison will be in Cincy to honor the Hoosier-grown shortstop. Now for anew ball park in Indianapolis! Fans will forgive the sale of Hill if anew plant is erected for 1927. At any rate, it was “some” deal, if $40,000 was obtained for Carmen. He failed in the majors In two previous trials. Many fans w-ould like to see a picture of that check.

Mrs. Carmen Hill Has Age Correction. Mrs. Carmen Hill, wife of the Tribe's latest graduate to the “big top,” has a grievance against the newspapers over the country. When her husband was sold to the Pittsburgh Pirates Wednesday news accounts gave Carmen's age as 31. But Mrs. Hill arises to remark that her husband has not reached that mark. ”He’s only 30.” Mrs. Hill said Wednesday night, “but his next birthday is in October, so I guess I won’t complain to Judge Landis about the error.” The star hurler’s wife was elated over the deal that sends Carmen back to the majors. He didn’t have time to return to Indianapolis before reporting to the Pirates and he called Mrs. Hill on the phone from Toledo Wednesday morning to tell of his good luck.

FOREIGN PLAYERS BEATEN All-American Finals in Tennis Doubles as French Are Defeated. Bu United Ureas BROOKLINE, Mass., Sept. I. An all-American final was assured as the national doubles tennis tournament entered the semi-final round at the Longwood Cricket Club here today. With the elimination of the two French teams Wednesday, foreign competition faded away and left the field clear for America’s aces to struggle for the title among themselves. The one semi-final match scheduled for today brought William T. Tilden of Philadelphia and Alfred H. Chapin Jr., of Springfield, Mass., against William J. Johnston and Edward G. Chandler of California. The other semi-final match, that between R. N. Williams and Vincent Richards, present champions, and Lewis N. White and Louis Thalheimer, national clay court champions, is scheduled for Friday, In gaining the semi-final brackets, American teams proved their superiority over those of France. The match between the title-holders and the French Davis cup team of Cochet and Brugnon, in which the former won in four sets, may have an important bearing upon pavls cup matches at Germantown. ' The decision of the U. S. L. T. A. in naming America’s doubles team has been reserved until after this tournament.
