By United Pres* NEW YORK. Sept. 9.—Lefty Grove. Athletics* southpaw ace, practically assured himself of thirty mound triumphs this season when he turned in a 10 to 1 decision over the second-place Washington Senators for his twenty-eighth win of the season Tuesday. An eightrun rally off Sam Jones in the seventh inning, featured by Dib Williams’ homer, gave the A’s the verdict. Lefty allowed seven hits, fanned seven and walked one.

Indians jvinnmg by a nose, 5 to 4. Tuesday’s victory gave the Tribesmen four out of five in the series and they were crowding the Brewers and Blues today. The Blues, running second, are only a game and a half ahead of the fourthplace Indians. Tied Until Seventh The Tuesday contest was even with one run apiece until the seventh when the home nine rallied for four runs on five hits, a triple with two on by Ray White, rookie infielder, being the high spot of the attack. The locals collected five hits and a walk against Marcum, Louisville righthander, during the scoring splurge. Going into the ninth round the Indians were out in front, 5 to 1, and Logan had allowed only four safeties in eight stanzas. Branom led ofT the ninth with a single and Fitzgerald robbed Ganzel of an extra base wallop by going into deep center to take his tremendous drive with one hand on the run. It was a difficult and marvelous catch. Nachand drew a walk and Shea bounced a double off the top of the left field wall, the sphere almost clearing the barrier. It took a freak bounce, however, and stayed in the park! Branom scoring and Nachand stopping at third. Campbell Takes Mound Young Logan was derricked and Archie Campbell took up the mound burden. Eli Funk batted for Olivares and walked, filling the bases. Marcum doubled down the left field line, scoring Nachand and Shea, fast fielding by'Koenecke holding E. Funk on third. On A. Funk’s grounder, E. Funk was erased at the plate, Goldman to Riddle, and Campbell tossed out Layne for the game-ending out. Logan was credited with the victory. The Indians compiled eleven hits, Riddle getting three and Fitzgerald two. The Colonels’ first run, registered in the second, was unearned, Nachand scoring on Thompson’s double after reaching first on Goldman’s fumble. The Indians scored in the initial inning on Bedore’s single, Walker’s out and Koenecke’s single. Young White, former Oklahoma City shortstop, got into the Tuesday fracas as third sacker when Kroner shifted to first to relieve Bedore, who left the game. Bedore was struck on the head by a thrown ball Monday and became dizzy during the early innings Tuesday. Manager McCann also was incapacitated with a leg injury.

Midget Wolgast Shows Real Class in Beating Atherton

There may be a question in some quarters about the ruler of flyweight boxers, but Midget Wolgast, the great little fighting machine from Philadelphia, gets the vote from Indianapolis fans. In a scrap that had the fans cheering from start to finish, the speedy Italian outpointed Happy Atherton, rugged local leather pusher, in ten spirited rounds at Fort Harrison Tuesday night. The scrap undoubtedly was one of the best of the local season. Added to the spectacular boxing and punching ability exhibited by Wolgast was the remarkable showing made by Atherton, who carried the fight to the champion in the first six rounds and kept boring in to land many lefty wallops. Wolgast showed the fans more left hands in the ten rounds than they usually see on an entire card. He shot them from all angles and

Gar Wood Denies He ‘Tricked’ Kaye Don in Boat Cup Race

By United Press DETROIT, Sept. 9.—Desperately trying to stem the tide of popular criticism, Gar Wood, the “Fox of Grayhaven,” today repudiated his alleged admission that he saved the Harmsworth trophy for America by trickery. The white-haired speed king denied he deliberately lured the British challenger, Kaye Don, across the starting line ahead of the gun. Wood, in the Miss America IX, and Don, in his Miss England 11, “jumped the gun” by nearly ten seconds in the second heat Monday, in a mad dash to beat each other to the start. Both were disqualified and Tuesday Wood’s Miss America VIII, driven by Gar’s brother George, cruised around the course alone to win the famous trophy. Obviously upset by the storm of criticism both in the United States and England, Wood declared he had no thought of disqualifying either himself or his rival when he opened the throttles of his boat on the fatal dash. “Stories of such a ‘plot’ are highly absurd,” he told the United Press. “Why, we didn’t have time to think up such a stunt. My statements have been misinterpreted. I have

Giants and Yanks Mix .Gomez and Fitzsimmons Are Mound Rivals in City Battle. By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 9.—Baseball followers today were provided with a pre-world series test of the strength of the American and National Leagues. New York’s big time rivals, the Giants and the Yankees, tangled at the Polo Grounds today, while Chicago's Cubs battled the White ~ox at the Windy City. Single games do not provide an accurate measure as to the strength of the competing teams, but with four clubs using their strongest lineups and ace slabmen, today's battles should furnish an indication of the reaction of American League hitters to the National League’s “dead ball” and of the National League pitchers to the thin-covered and livelier American League ball. Capacity crowds were expected at both charity games. In the local battle, which marks the first time the Giants and Yankees have met since their 1923 world series struggle, Vernon Gomez, the lanky young southpaw, has been handed the Yankee assignment to oppose big Fred Fitzsimmons. Giants’ ace right-hander. Providing today’s battle draws in the fans, a city series involving the Giants, Yankees and Robins is being planned. HEAVY RIVALS MEET CHICAGO, Sept. 9.—King Levin - sky, Chicago heavyweight, and Con O’Kelly, Ireland, will meet in a ten-round bout at White City tonight.

made no admission that I tricked Don. “Os course I said it was ‘just a Yankee trick-’ But all I meant was the trick of getting in front and staying there, which would have won the heat for us if we hadn’t been disqualified ” Newspaper men continued to insist, however, that Wood had stated in their hearing that he intended to “beat the gun,” and if Don followed it was “just too bad ” Meanwhile, the Miss England, her slim white hull torn to shreds by the force of her crackup, when she ventured in the wash of Miss America Monday, was being dismantled to be shipped to Toronto. Kaye Don, her gallant pilot, and his two mechanics, who escaped serious injury, refused to discuss the question of Gar’s alleged strategy.
