EH REE new ball players made the Pirates look like a neiw club Wednesday. Hill pitched; Brickell played left field and hit; Cronin held down second base. • All delivered In great style. Brickell got three hits in each contest and was fast in the garden. He Is from the Wichita (Kan.) club and was playing his first full games. Cronin was picked up on the San Francisco lots two years ago and farmed out this year by Pittsburgh to New Haven. Jle was recalled about a month ago. He played fine ball at the keystone sack and got three hits in the second contest. • Everybody knows inhere Carmen Hill came from. His contribution to the Reds’ discomfiture was the dishing out of nine big goose eggs from the pitching mound. Although the Reds got nine hits, they were widely scattered. Only two men reached third base. Hill has allowed just two runs in two games since going back to the big show. • * • Harness racing is one sport in which the participants are not looking for the "breaks.” * * • Meadows and Hill, two bespectacled hurlers, pitched the Pirates to • a double victory over Cincinnati. From the results it appears as though the Reds needed the glasses—one run in eighteen innings. • • • Wednesday’s gem from the fairground megaphone caine just before the diving act. "Now, everybody be quiet—there is a high wind blowing in the air.” • • • Lew Shank, former mayor of Indianapolis, started the running race at the fairground, track on Wednesday. Lew knows, quite a bit about running. He has had varied experiences in that line himself. • * * * See where a fellow by the name of Stribling Ls going to fight somebody at Atlanta, Ga., the latter part of the month. Who is this pug, Stribling, anyway? Seems as though wo heard of him somewhere or other. * * * SHE Indianapolis Light & Heat Company club, class,, A. A. baseball champions of the city, well fortified on the mound when they go to Philadelphia for the national series. Experience has taught that plenty of hurlers are needed on account of the number of contests played in such a short space of time. Tho local champs have five pitchers on the roster at present with prospect of another. Reno, Bader, Reynolds, Behnke and Rush form the quintet. Delashmit, Greenfield High lefthander, may be taken along. He allowed the Light and Heat team ontly three runs in two games in the city series, pitching for the East End Milks. He lost both games, 1 to 0 and 2 to 1. • * • It's serta nice to have Columbus Senators come to town once In a wliMe, especially just after Ijouisviub leaves. Just to show Loiv low the Ohio team is in the ectteme of things—the Boston Red Sox lost seventeen straight games .before winning Wednesday and their percentage today was 77 points higher than Columbus. m- * • SIIESE city fellers are too Drn smart. Ed Werner and Joe Brooks ot Indianapolis, won the State doubles championship in the horseshoe pitching contests at the Indiana State fair Wednesday. It seems as though "barnyard golf” can be played without the accompanying music of oink, oink and moo-00, moo-00.

iisTclass aa I Light and Heat Wins Local Title Series. The Indianapolis Light and Heat Company nine won its final battle for the championship of Class AA . teams of the Indianapolis Amateur Baseball Association Wednesday by defeating the East End Milk Company at Pennsy Park, 2 to 1. It was the second, game of a series of three to decide (/he city Class AA ' championship between the chanjpions of the Capital City League and champion of the Fraternal League. The Light and Heat players won the first of the series last Saturday, 1 to , 0, and winning the second game Wednesday makes the third unnecessary’. Asa result, the Light and Heat team will represent Indianapolis in the Class AA national championship tourney at Philadelphia the last of this month. Illinois Central and Indiana State Highway teams will begin a aeries Saturday at Riverside Park diamond No. 1 to decide which of the two shall go to Philadelphia and compete in the Class A national championship.

DAVIS CUP PLAY STARTS AGAINST DANGEROUS FRENCH TEAM

LAST OF SENATOR BATTLES Tribe and Columbus Close Series Today—Toledo Hens Come Friday. , By Eddie Ash Have the Indians started a belated winning streak? They won again Wednesday, giving them three victories in a row. The Bushmen beat Ixmisvillo in the finale of Monday's twin bill and followed that feat by capturing struggles from the Columbus Senators Tuesday and Wednesday. • Bill Burwell stood the cellar occupants “on their heads" Wednesday, allowed only six hits and beat them 8 to 1. The one Columbus run resulted when Hayworth tripled after one out and crossed the plate when 53umbro got a lucky single to short left. "Zum” reached out with one hand and the ball bounced off the ash over Yoter’s head. Twelve Tribe Hits The Tribe collected twelve blows. Sicking and Burwell getting three each. Two of Sicking’s safeties were doubles and one of Burwell’s hits was good for two sacks. In fact he hit the high right Arid wall with his extra base drive. Russell got a triple* Tuesday’s fracas was played In the fast time of 1:18, but the teams bettered that mark Wednesday by four minutes, the contest consuming only 1:14. Series Finale Today The Senators were to make their farewell 1926 appearance at Washington Park this afternoon In the third v and finale fray of the short series. Casey Stengel’s Toledo Hens, with hearts set on unseating the Indians from third place, will be here Friday to open a series. The Hens got lucky on their home lot not long ago and trimmed the Tribe three out of four. Hen-Indlan battles usually are close and well-attended. Friday will be “ladies’ day” at the park. Columbus filled the liases with none out in the seventh Wednesday, but failed eto score. Leonard crashed into a double play, Burwell to Hartley to Holke. and Happ grounded to Holke. The Indians executed three twoply killings and the one. On a hit and run play \in the seventh Fisher scored all the way from first on Holke’s single to right. Withem relieved Zumbro to pitch to Holke and Walter greeted him. McCann made a daring catch of a foul fly in the first inning off Fisher. His back was to the diamond* when he snared the ball near the soutli end of the grand stand. Russell scored from third after the catch anij Fisher was credited with a sacrifice. Flshpr drove in four runs, Burweli two, Ilussell one and Holke one. Joe Wyatt, former Indian, got two of the Senators’ six hits. HeL performed as a first-sacker Wednesday. Happ, a. young shortstop, Joined the Senators Wednesday. He looked fair enough in the field. If all the ball players who have been on the Columbus roster since April were standing in line it is no telling how' lonj3; that line would extend. Did you notice how "Our Carmen” treated the Cincy Reds Wednesday? "Specs" went to the Pirate mound again and registered himself a shutout, n to o.

Singles Matches First Day— Tilden vs. Borotra, Johnston vs. La Coste. By Henry L. Farrell United Press Staff Correspondent PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 9.—With the greatest chance a foreign team has had since 1919 to take the Davis cup away from the United States, France, with a fine team of youngsters, was to play a veteran American team in the opening matches of the greatest classic of tennis at the Germantown Cricket Club this afternoon. The concern of the United States Lawn Tennis Association over the real danger of the French threat and the disposition to take no chances was indicated when Billy Johnston, the star little Californian, was nominated to open the challenge round against Rene Lacoste, one of the three aces of the Invaders. When Vinnie Richards, the young New York star, was ranked as No. 2 player under Bill Tilden in the seeding of the draw for the national championships, which start at Forest Hills, next Monday, It was surmised that he would be selected to play in the singles Instead of Johnson. But the wise minds of the tennis association figured that Johnson's game was best suited to beat either Borotra or Lacoste and that Richards and Dick Williams would be America’s best bet in the doubles. Johnson and Lacoste were scheduled to start at 2:30 (eastern daylight time) and- their match was to be followed by the second singles battle between Bill Tilden, national champion and Jean Borotra, the well "bounding basque.” Reports here that Re le Lacoste •would join Mile. Suzanne Lengkn and Miss Mary K. Browjie on C. C. Pyle's professional troupe, were laughed by the French players. Tilden, who also has been mentioned as a possibility, refused o comment. “I said several weeks agy that there were possibilities In open or professional tennis,” he said, “under proper supervisioiuand management, and if the right kind of players were engaged In it. That’s all I have to say now.”

While there is Just as much dynamite in one hand as the other, Jack Dempsey thinks his left is his best weapon, because he can hook and jab and uppercut with it. On top of this he can punch faster with his left than with his right. Gene Tunney, challenger, well understands the champion’s style, and is striving to form a defense against a left-handed attack for the title scrap in I’hilly Sept. 23. Old-timers say Dempsey’s attack Is not much different from the one that Bob Fitzsimmons used to use. Bob used to shoot left hooks at and the body, using his right mainly to smash against the heart, or rather just at the edge of the ribs under the heart. Dempsey goes after these vulnerable points, too. And, like Bob, ho shoots most of his salvos from a shift position. Dempsey does most of his execution with his left hooks. He has a remarkable double punch

GRAND CIRCUIT RACES IN SPITE OF WEATHER State Fair Speed Officials Say Program to Be Held — Pluto Water Stak e Feature of Day.

Today’s Program

2:04 Trot —Pluto Water. $2,000. 2:18 Trot—The Governor. purse SI,OOO. Three-Year-Old Pace The Abbedale. purse SI,OOO. 2:18 Pace (half-milo track horses) Purse SI,OOO. According to the Indiana State Fair officials the Grand Circuit racing program today was to be held rain or shine. The inner cinder track was to be used in case the mile track was unfit. It was very muddy this morning as tho result of the heavy rains of Wednesday night. Today’s program was featured by the Pluto Water 2:04 trot, purse $2,000. Among the entrants in this event were Guy Trogan and Hollywood Leonard. These two high class trotters were likely to stage an interesting duel. The Governor 2:18 trot looked interesting and the field promised to be larger thah has been the rule at the fairground this week. The other two events also had plenty of ellgiblos and appeared to be more or less toss-up affairs. They were the Abbedale 3-year-old pace and the 2:18 pace for half-mile track horses. The final day’s racing on Friday includes four events, as follows: 2:12 trot, purse, $1,000; Stcgemeier Cafeteria pace, purse, $1,000; Chamber o w Commerce 2:05 pace, purse, $2,000; Marott Shoe Company 3-year-old trot (eligible to 2:12 class), purse, SI,OOO. Palin’s Race The Indianapolis horseman. S. F. Palin, carried off all the honors in the $5,000 Silver Flash Gas purse for 2:10 pacers, feature of Wednesday’s Grand Circuit racing. The local reinsman piloted Norman Grattan of the Palin Stable to victory by winning the second and third heats. Theodore Guy, another one of Palin’s string, took the first heat, being driven by Childs. There were seven entrants and each heat was a battle which thrilled the big crowd that filled the stands. The first heat was a stretch duel between Captain Heuertus and Theodore Guy with the latter getting the yprdlct by a head. Theodore Guy got out In front -in the second heat and held his advantage into the stretch, but was nipped at the wire by Norman Grattan when Palin "stepped on the gas.” (It must have been Silver Flash.) The final and deciding heat went to Norman Grattan In the fastest time of the race, 2:03%. Captain Heuertus was second and Theodore Guy third. Two for Cox The Good Time Stable of Goshen, N. Y., accounted for the next two events, the 2-year-old Bogalusa trotting stake and the 2:10 class trot. Both Xtinners were piloted by Cox. In the baby race Nescopec, a bay colt, showed plenty of class to top the summary in straight heats. In the final heat Miss Marion Toddler showed a burst of speed at the half-way mark and passed Nescopec, but the Good Time colt won with ease when it came to the real test in the stretch. There were only three starters in the 2:10 trot. The big bay, Great Scott, took the event by winning the sdbond and third heats. The same horse was leading in the first heat but broke badly when pressed in the stretch by The Editor and finished third behind The Editor, who won, and Hardy Dillon, who took second money. Cox managed to keep Great Scott in a trot to \he wire in the next two, although it looked as though the horse was out of it again in the sec-

with his left. Dempsey is the only fighter in the game today who uses the “double left” with consistent effect. The “double left” is one of the most successful punches In a boxer’s repertoire when perfectly executed, and is little more than waste motion when imperfectly applied. x The punch Is first driven to the stomach and then curled upward to the jaw. If the midriff is unprotected the receiver must take a skin-scaring left to the body. To protect the stomach the opponent mi st bring down his guard. This obviously leaves the jaw exposed. The “double left” has greater winning possibilities than the highly esteemed one-two, which is, as everybody knows, a left lead followed by a right cross. Only the quick hitters have any business trying to manipulate the “double left.” Ox men like Willard and Firpo never could use it. Veteran ring -followers say

ond when he broke momentarily in the stretch. Martha Direct won the 2.16 pace. The mare was driven by Watts and is owned by 11. C. HaSkett of Tipton, Ind. Tke eventual winner had seventh post position in the first heat and finished seventh after never being able to get around the leaders. But in the second heat it was a different story and Watts got his mount home in front. In the third heat the bay mare again was first to the wire. Charleen W. won the first heat, was third in the second and the runner-up in the third. Minnie Coehato was second in the first two beats and fourth in the third. The fastest time was rned in the second heat, 2:07%. In the running race of one mile, which completed the afternoon’s program, Miss Lane, Johnson up, won In a gallop by eight lengths. Sempronia was second and Mount Pleasant, third. Lasting Love also ran.

George Dixon had the best “double lert” in the history of boxing, a "double left” which he used in both ways, overhand from jaw to body, and upward from body to jaw. Dempsey lacks this versatility. Invariably' he shoots from body to jaw.

PIRATES STAY IN RUNNING Cards Three Games Ahead, but Pittsburgh Renews Hope by Twin Victory. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 9.—With only sixteen games to go, the St. Lodis Cardinals held a three-game lead over the Cincinnati -Reds in the National League pennant fight today and were odds-on favorites to win. The Pirates, by taking Wednesday’s double-header from the Reds, moved to within three and one-half games of the Cards and were in third place only half a game behind Cincinnati. The Pirates, virtually counted out of contention after their recent slump, attacked the Reds savagely and put renewed hope in their supporters that they might yet snatch the victory. Both the Cards and Reds were idle today, and Pittsburgh, by beating the Chicago Cubs in the scheduled double-header, could move into second place and gain a full game > rjfi the Cardinals. U| The Pirates still have twenty-one games to play, against sixteen-for the Cards and eighteen for the Reds. Only one of the odd breaks of the tricky game of baseball, by which the Cards might slump and ‘he Pirates play perfect ball, could g.vo ,(Pittsburgh the pennant. If biui teams win every remaining game, St. Louis still would have the pephant by a full game. In the American League the New York Yankees retained their sevengame lead, although beaten by the Red Sox, when the second-place Cleveland Indians were defeated by Detroit. A Yankee victory is almost certain. Discussion here today centered chiefly on the respective merits of the Yankees and Cardinals as the world series contenders. Rogers Hornsby and a handful of his players dodged an exhibition game in Syracuse to sit in at the Yankee Stadium and get a few pointers.
