They haven't exactly looked the part on this road trip. The only games they have won were against the weak sisters, the Athletics and the Washingtons. The teams they must beat if they are to win the pennant have been kicking them around. The Yankees practically ran them out of town; the Red Sox took two in a row. Maybe their gameness is of the Joe Grimm type; Joe seldom won a fight but he was good at taking punishment. Practice made him good. In a tight race such as this it is impossible to tell just what will happen; but by now even the most enthusiastic potato pegger in the Cleveland grandstand must be beginning to have some slight misgivings about the reformed cry babies. As a matter of plain, blunt fact where would they be without Feller, their slump stopper, who has won fifteen games? All clubs fatten their positions on the inferior clubs.

If it develops into another dog fight down the stretch, as it did last year, the quality of gameness is going to be all the more important, We don’t know for sure whether the Indians could have won last year; all we know is that they had a chance and booted it the last week of the season.

dropped behind almost immediately, losing the first three holes to Miss Ellis and she was unable to overtake the champion. The last three holes were played in less than half an hour with Mrs. Greathouse shooting three sixes while Miss Ellis took the tenth hole with a five, shared the eleventh and won the 12th with a five. A hot sun kept the gallery at a minimum and chased the followers into the shade during most of the play. Mrs. Greathouse was a very popular loser and fought what must have appeared to her a losing battle without: showing any signs of discouragement. Perhaps the nicest shot of the first nine was Miss Ellis’ recovery from the rough on the third hole. After a strong drive her second shot had hooked into the rough 60 feet from the green. Her recovery arched up, struck the green and hit the pin, bouncing back about six inches. She took the hole for a par four.
5 up on the first nine to slightly longer drives than Mrs. Greathouse and superior putting. On the second, a 330-yard hole, both players made beautiful drives but. Mrs. Greathouse ran into trouble when her second shot landed in a sand trap. Her recovery was good but both players missed their first putt. Miss Ellis took this hole despite missing her one-foot shot. The finalists broke even on holes 5 and 8. Both played the fifth identically with strong drives and good putting. The eighth hole, longest on the first nine, was quickly covered with strong shots by both players in sixes. Miss Ellis, playing a steady game, went over par only three times. These were on the 1st, 2d and 8th. Mrs. Greathouse with a beautiful drive landed on the green on the fourth hole and took it with a birdie.

the necessity of remaining for a call for service when his draft board deferred him because of his employment in a Portland, Ore, shipyard and he immediately announced that he would fly here.
Providing weather conditions are ideal, the coaches feel that world marks are certain in a number of events with Warmerdam, Steers and Blozis given the best chances to create new records. Warmerdam, shooting" for the 16foot mark, has cleared the bar at 15 feet, 5 inches, but it has not yet been accepted as a new record. He won the A. A. U. championship by soaring 15 feet, 13% inches. Pushing him all the way will be Earle Meadows of the University of Southern California, whose best mark is 14 feet, 11 inches. Bill Stewart, another U. 8. C. star, will battle Steers for the high jump title. Stewart jumped 6 feet, 103% inches the day Steers reached the 6 feet, 11 inch mark. Twenty-one events are. listed for each of the two days, with the Junior championships opening campetition tomorrow afternoon and the senior championships on Sunday afternoon.
