FOUR HITS ALLOWED BY "LEFTY" HARMON, BUT NEWCASTLE WINS
How They Stand
Clubs-
National League. Won Lost
Lon Goldsberry, Wabash college star hurler, had the better of tho pitchers' duel with "Lefty" Harmon. Eagle moundsman, in Sunday's 10-inning battle. Newcastle pulled the game out in the tenth with two runs for a 3 to 1 win over the improving Richmond Eagles. It was a hurlers match throughout, each team hitting the opposing pitcher for but four hits during the 10 Innings. It was a real battlo of baseball and the fans had ifo kick coming on tho exhibition which was put up by either side. Newcastle jumped out into the lead at the opening of tho first frame and tallied one. Presnall was safe on an error by Reddinghaus, who stopped
the hard-hit grounder, but could not get to it in time to get the runner. Dale sacrificed the runner along with a well laid bunt. Then with one down,
Thompson singled through Berry at
second base, scoring Presnall. Jones and Byrkctt then groundtd out in order. However, in the next seven innings, Harmon did not allow the Newcastle batters a hit and was especially effective in the pinches, with men on bases. The best Newcastle could do with the southpaw's hurling was one hit in the first frame, one more in the ninth and two in the tenth. Even with" these four hits, Harmon would have won the game for the Eagles, had he received the needed support. Touched in Fifth On the other hand, Lon Goldsberry was easing through five innings before he was touched for a safety by the local lodgemen. Hubbard cracked a safe infield blow for the first hit oft the Rose City moundsmen. In the next inning, the locals made three good safe hits, but were unable to get more than one run. It was in the seventh frame that the three Eagle hits came and the short rally was thoroughly enjoyed by the
"baseball hungry" fans. J. Logan,
first up in this frame, singled cleanly to right center, and was sacrificed along by Snyder, who was thrown out at first by Goldsberry. "Pete" Minner stepped to the plate and the fans held their eyes on him to deliver. He delivered and while he was at it, he made
a crackerjack double to deep left cen-
ter.Logan scoring easily. With a run across to tie the score,
the birdmen let down somewhat, Bell hit for a clean Texas leaguer to right.
but fearing that the ball would be caught, Minner held his base on second. If "Pete" could have made third, he would have had an opportunity to score on the next out. Eubanks hit to short, and was safe while Bell was forced at second, Minner arriving safely at third. Both runners died when Hubbard hit to Goldsberry for the third out. Newcastle Betters Chances Three safeties in one inning should have netted more than one run, but Newcastle bettered this dope when they drove in two runs in the tenth frame with two hits. At the time two men were out. Dale was out, Harmon to Snyder. Then Thompson singled through the box. Jones struck out. Byrkett was safe on an error on Reddinghaus, who threw low to Snyder. Thi the Inneest hit of .the game was made by Brown, who cracked the ball
to right center for three sacks, both
runners circling ahead of him. At this
time the fans took the heart out of the situation by climbing out of their
Feats and heading for the exits. Schret ber hit to Logan for the third out.
Eubanks, first up in the Eagle half of the tenth, flied out to Schreiber in right field. Hubbard fanned. Then Clements batted for Harmon and was f-afe on an error by Dale at third. Cy Fitzgibbons came up and cracked one square on the nose, but it landed directly in Dale's hands at third. The third-sacker didn't have to move out of his tracks. Then the whole affair was over. Harmon Holds Firm Newcastle had chances to score in several innings, but the good control of Harmon was always enough to stop them in their tracks and retire the side. Snyder and Hubbard protected the home plate in the fourth inning, when Schreiber drove a grounder past Reddinghaus which J. Logan fielded. Byrkett was on second base at the time of the blow and on the throw to first attempted to reach home. Snyder had the ball in Hubbard's hands in time to get the former Eagle in good shape, however, and the fans booed Byrkett all the way in his trip back
to the dugout. It was a good exhibition of baseball, enjoyed by the fans thoroughly, and there was no trouble with the 'Umps" at any time. The Eagles go to Mill's Lake to play Farmland next Sunday. Newcastle.

BRAVES WIN SUNDAY . AT REDLAND FIELD' 12,000 FANS ATTEND
CINCINNATI, July 17. Nearly 12,000 fans were calling for a victory for the Reds over the Boston Bravea in Sunday's game at Redland field, when they were informed that the Phillies were going ahead of Chicago in the game at the latter city, but "Pete" Donohue was touched for numerous hits by the Bostonians and the hilarious fans were much disappointed by the score of 5 to 4. However, U took three Brave hurlers to stop the on rushing Reds in, their hunt for an upper berth in the standing. It was largely an old time Red player that was responsible for the Boston Braves' score. This person was none other than Larry Kopf, short field star, who performed so wonder
fully throughout the game. Kopf had
three timely assists at the plate, cut
ting possible Red runs down in fine shape, and he also connected for two
good, cleaa hits out of three times at
bat.
Cincy took a one run lead in the
initial frame. Burns walked and went to third on Daubert's single. Duncan
hit into a double play, on which Burns
came home. The lead lasted the one
frame only, because Boston took it all back in the second inning.. Pinelli fumbled Ford's grounder and then threw wild to first. Kopf's single put the runner on third and he tied the score on Gibson's sacrifice fly to
center. Lead Off With Hit. In both the second and third in
nines, the first man up on tne tea
side led off with a hit, but nothing came of it. Donohue issued his only pass in the fourth to Kopf, with one out. Kopf came all the way home on Gibson's double to right center. Gibson was thrown out at third trying to stretch it into a triple. Two runs were added by the Braves in the seventh on Powell's single, a long triple to right, by Cruise, and a single by BoeckeL Donohue was then through for the day, Markle taking his place on the mound, who didn't allow a man on base in the last two rounds. Bresslor batted for Donohue in the Red half of the seventh and singled. Burns flied out but Daubert's home run to right was good for the two runs. Duncan tripled over Cruise's head and Marquard relieved Oeschger. Harper's bounder to Kopf and his own rich boner in walking- off first base, completed the inning. Marquard held things for the remaining two innings and everything was over. The score:

Hubert Praett Proves Nemesis of Babe Ruth
NEW YORK, July 17. Hubert Pruett, sensational young southpaw of the St. Louis Browns, who attracted attention by striking out Babe Ruth three times, once with the bases full, in the second game of the series with New York last week, has proved himself a real nemesis of the noted home run king. Ruth has faced Pruett 10 times in three games this season, records show, and fanned on seven of these occasions. He was walked twice. He has failed so far to connect safely with the youngster's fadeaway, reputed to resemble the one that made Christy Mathewson famous. Here is Ruth's record facing Pruett: May 22, at New York, struck out and
walked; June 12 at St. Louis, struck out three times and walked once; July 12, at New York, struck out
three times and was thrown out on
grounder to box.

(By Associated Press) CHICAGO, July 17. In addition to the distinction of being the first person of the Latin races to win the national open golf championship, Gene Sarazen of Pittsburgh, the 21 year old professional who performed that feat at Shokie Saturday is the first player to win a national golf title and yet be so little known to golf experts that none can describe the style of his Play. The genial youngster who snatchea the prime golf honors from a field of 329 doughty Scots and American adopters of their native game, was not cbserved by eager galleries or by critical golf writers. He ploughed his way around the skokie course twice in the qualifying rounds and four times in
the championship, yet no one paid any attention to him until he turned into
the last nine. Then when word epread that he had
scored 33 for the penultimate nine.
the golf writers alone realized that' he had a goodly chance to down the
better known plaers. But the frisky stripling was already well on his way to the tenth green and there were the mighty Hagen, the sturdy John Black, with his Scotch brogue, and black pipe, and the brilliant Bobby Jone3 to watch, for they had reputations and would likely win if anyone could be better, than another by a stroke or eo in such a galaxy. So the lad of Italian ancestry tripped home in 35 for a record 68 in any championship fourth round before the news really spread that he might be the winner over all the cannlness of Scotia, the imparturbability of Great Britain and fhe wonderful energy of native America, But it was too late to watch the prodigy.

a few sports which women should take
up and enumerates them walking,

friend?, seven have expressed a desire to take ud sports, but four of these
are forbidden to do so by their par
ents and the other three are too busy. Only a few favor sports as beneficial to health and welfare of the
future generation.
