Press) CHICAGO. Aug. 25. The prelimin ary handicap which calls for 100. targets, 15 to 23 yards rise, is the only event scheduled for today in connection with the Grand American handicap now being held at the South Shore country club here. In the great majority of cases, contestants are shooting from the same yardage marks as in the Grand American event which will be held tomorrow. Entrants in tomorrow's event who have made exceptional scores in the events held this week may be set back one or two yards but in most cases the original handicaps will stand. With the experts having had their tests in the 16 and 18 yards championships for both amateurs and professionals and the doubles champions in both divisions determined, the shots of mediocre ability are expected to break into the spotlight.

Since the clOfe of the world ar 13,100 homes have been rebuilt in France and 178,300 have been repaired.

Cutshaw and Pirates Cause Troubled Brows Among Giants Came Near Final Split, Then Rejoined Team - Handed Giants Four Defeats This Season Likely to Get Pennant for Pirates This Year.

By FRAK i. MF.KK Every time the Giants want an excuse for chanting cuss words they think of the George Cutshaw incident. This second basing person wasn't at ail enthused with the contract which Barney Dreyfuss chased along in his general direction last Spring. And George said so in the public prints something along these lines: "Gimme death before I work for -them there wages." i George waited patiently for some- , body to do the deed but nobody volun teered. So he determined upon the next terrible thing for a ball player retirement , t -, Threatens Retirement "I will retire to my vast acres and never hoof into a baseball orchard again, I won't" hissed the Cutshaw boy.

Exactly what happened afterward j than third place. Certain it is that if knows two different versions. . One is j Cutshaw had quit the club, the Giants, that Barney and George got off by not the Pirates, would be the flying their little selves and one reduced his i leaders in the older circuit of basedemands and the other increased his j ball. offer and. thereupon. George bound! And Cutshaw. the vara sninners sav

himself to serve another term as keeper of the Pirate Keystone sack. The other is that George rejoined the Pirate fold because of John McGraw. It's said that the Giant chieftain, out of friendsship, wanted George Gibson to make a showing as manager of the 1921 Pirates. That's because George was one of John's boys for a i while and John wanted to see the I family get along. So says the yarn I John served unofficially as a board of! arbitration, with the result that Cutshaw rejoined the Pirates. Hands Giants Four Defeats. If that story is true, then there is 1 reason for John's terrible sadness and the harsh words of the Giants. For this same Cutshaw single handed, has belted the Giants into four defeats. If it weren't for Cutshaw's spectacular work against the Giants, the men of McGraw, not the hired keep of Pittsburg, would be topping the National Circuit right now. In the first Pirate-Giant clash of the year, Cutshaw laced out four hits and those safeties won the combat. In the next Cutshaw bludgeoned a trio into vacated territory, while the acks were peopled and so Pirate triumph was achieved another A bat - "You'll never know much I miss you, till you are lonesome, too'

CLEVELAND OUSTED FROM FIRST PLACE BY FIGHTING YANKS

(By Associated Press NEW YORK. Aug. 25. Ousting of the Cleveland world's champions trom the American League leadershipby the New York Yankees and the douDie aefeat of the Pittsburgh National leaders by the New York Giants were out; standing features of the major league contests yesterday. The Yankees are less than a game ahead of the Indians while Pittsburgh's lead is cut to 5 games. Babe Adams, of Pittsburgh, suffered his first defeat after winning nine Rfraieht victories. The Hero of the 1909 world series yielded 11 hits and six runs in seven innings. The St. Louis Nationals went into the first division by defeating Boston twice, while Brooklyn was loosing to Chicago. George Kelly, of the New York Na tionals, hit his 22nd home run doubling his performance for the entire 1920 season. A home run by Williams, of the St. Louis Americans his 19th of the sea son broke an eleven-eleven tie with Boston in the tenth inning. Ten assists were credited to shortstop Parkinson, cf the Philadelphia Nationals in the first game of a double header with Cincinnati. The major record is 14. In making three saciifices. Pfeffer of the St. Louis Nationals, came within one of the major record. Neal Ball, who while with Cleveland in 1909, was the first American League player to make an unassisted triple I play, was unkind enough to keep an other player from entering Daseoau s hall of fame. With two out in the 9th inning. Ball was the first New Haven (Eastern League) batsman to hit safely off Jerry Kahn, of Waterbury. ting bee in a later series, staged by Cutshaw, enabled the Pittsburgers to bump the Giants once more. Cutshaw waited the tenth inning of another game before he saddened the hearts and aroused the ire of his Giant rivals. With the score tied up, George strutted his famous strut to the plate, poled out a triple and once more did the headlines acclaim the fact that "Pirates Beat Giants." Cutshaw's play this season has been the most brilliant of his long career. Hitting .350, he stands forth as the mightiest gun in the Pirates attack. And his play around the second sack has been splendid. Possessed of Cutshaw, the Pirates seem like certain winners in the National. Without him. it is unlikely that their porton now would be better came back to crush the Giants because of the solicitation or arbitration of the man who is leader of those same Giants.

Stevens will teach any person the art of pitching the open shoe in 30 minutes, which took him five years to learn. He is traveling over th middle west teaching the art of horseshoe pitching and many people are profiting from his instructions. Stevens also challenges any man in this vicinity for a match. Any man interested is requested to be on the grounds Thursday. The art of throwing the open shoe is not to slide the shoe in to the peg but to throw directly at the peg. Sliding the shoe gets only a ringer accidently while the open throw is aimed at the peg and ringers are frequent. Stevens will show that the playing of horseshoes is not a game of luck but a game of science as well as any other game. Stevens finished fifth in the Na tional Horseshoe tournament held at Akron, O., August, 1920.
