made a start of bis own against the Boston Braves in tee final game, after the Redlegs had been trounced in the first of the double bill, and emerged from the nine-inning fray with his club on top, 6 to 0, and the Braves smarting under the blow which they received. Markle allowed the Beantown biters but three singles for the nine innings. John Couch did not fare so well In the opening game when he lost his first game to tne Boston club this season. The Braves took an early lead by scoring two in the second and third and the Redlegs could not score until the ninth, when two tallies did little good, other than prevent a shut-out Curve Ball Effective. Markle's curve ball bad the Braves' number during the bill and the three
singles, which were taken off his de
livery were minor ones.
McNamara was in rare form for the
first game, when he let the Red.; down
He allowed but three hits in eight innings, but Cinci got to him in the ninth and ran their total up to six for
tne game. Second Game.

MEATS, FITTERS AMD LAUNDRY SCORE WINS Opening of the City Bowling league on the R. & W. alleys Friday night sent three teams to the front in the standing. . The Home Laundry, Maher Meats and Shoe Fitters took the honors of the evening's bowling.' With the league rolling each Friday night in such bang-up form as they started out in this initial meeting, intense interest should be manifested to last throughout the season. The Home Laundry has a roster of crack bowlers, who pack a handicap much smaller- than that of any other
team in the league. Art King and Ducky Sherer came to the front for
the Laundry team, the former holding the score for the evening and the latter taking high average at 215. Prospects are bright for the best bowling season in years. The results of Friday's play:

The St. Louis Browns are out of the pennant race, but you've gotta
hand it to them for one thing: They
furnished the majority of fireworks for the season of 1922 and provided mere excitement and arguments than a presidential election. But for them the race would have been a walkaway for the Yanks. With the corpulent Lee Fohl at the helm of the Mound City's warship, the smoke of the battle has been East Indian incense to the nostrils of St. Louis fandom. Ken Williams started the tempera
ture on a hike skyward with a fusilade of home runs that threatened to knock Babe Ruth's gulden chapeau into the dismal swamp. George Sisler has been the grand tnd glorious outstanding all-around figure of the Browns. He was the first bambo in either league to chalk up 100 hits, also the first to score fifty runs. He stole bases with the dexterity of a city slicker working on the Jays' pocketbooks at a country fair. The name of Urban Shocker has
become a household word in the U. S. Lefty Pruett is one of the young
sensations of the season, best known by his ability to empty goose egg fritters down the big Bambino's neck, and the rest of the St Louis twirling staff, Davis, Van Gilder, Wright, Bayne and Kolp, have sparkled in the display. It's going to be tough for the boys who spent the summer afternoons on the grandstand to go through the long winter without watching a Williams, Pruett or Sisler perform.

LIBERTY IN TUSSLE WITH EAGLES SUNDAY
Liberty Grays will tackle the Eagles Sunday on the local diamond at Exhibition park at 3 o'clock. Jones, who
worked for the Eagles last Sunday on
the mound, is slated to be on hand to do the chucking for Liberty. Liberty used him in the game during the
fair.
The Eagles didn't beat the Liberty hurler by any big margin when the two clubs met during the Wayne coun
ty fair and the hurler was in fine form,
but his support was poor in the field
If he had had support, the score would
have been tight all the way through.
Hawekotte will take the mound for
the Birdmen and the remainder of the line-up will remain the same as in
last Sunday's game. Knight in Shape
Claude Knight, who was laid out at Cambridge by a pitched ball, is fully recuperated from the blow and will
take his position in the center garden Word comes from the Eagle manage
ment that the Cambridge City Grays
are dickering for a series of games
They have played together all this year and it was thought that a series would round out the season in good style. If they keep up, they will have
met as often as clubs in the major
leagues meet in one season. The line-ups for Sunday's game:

To Play Ball Sunday EATON, Ohio. Sept. 23. Eaton and
Lewisburg will lock horns Sunday aft
emoon at the local ball lot. Eaton's line-up will be an all-home aggrega
tion such as gave Miton, Ind., a 10-4
trimming here last Sunday. Last sea
son Eaton and Lewisburg staged
series of three games and Lewisburg
won the rubber. The visitors had sev
eral imported men. It is understood the two teams will be made up solely
of county talent when they clash Sun
day. DEMPSY AFTER BIG GAME (By Associated Press)
ST. JOHN. N. B. Sept. 23. Jack Dempsey and his party consisting of
Jerry Lavardos, Robert Kdgren, Al

in search of big game.
(By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Sept. 23. Tyrus Ray
mond Cobb, batting champion of the
American League for 12 out of 15 year3,
may realize his ambition to be crown
ed with that coveted honor this year.
The Detroit veteran, in his flight to
overtake George Sisler of the Browns.
today is just 27 points behind the St. Louis star, but with Sisler injured it is uncertain a sto just how much more baseball can be played this season. Cobb has a chance to pass him
and Sisler is unable to continue his normal place.
Sisler's average including games of
Wednesday, is .438 compared with a mark of 424 a week ago, a falling off
of six points. Cobb is collecting hits
to the tune of .391 and Is displaying no indications of slowing up as the
clubs swing into the final stretch or
the race. But Sisler's heart and soul 13
in baseball, and it i3 almost an impoS'
sibility to keep him out or the game,
despite physician s orders. He insists upon getting into his uniform, even although he does not get into the lineup, so that he may be ready to taka
a cracTi at the ball when called as a pinch hitter. This absence from the
game may help the "Georgia feacn
in his quest for the batting honors.
Leads Every Year
Cobb led the American League every
year from 1907, with the exception ol
in 1916 when Tris Speaker, of the in
dians took the honors and in 1920,
when Sisler was crowned king, and last season when Harry Heilman of
the Tigers crowded Cobb out of first
place.
Sislers mark for stolen bases ap
pears to be eafely tucked away, as his 47 thefts is 13 better than his closest
rival, Kenneth Williams, a teammate.
Williams bagged a brace of home-
runs during the past week and is tied

Rogers Hornsby, the St. Louis star,
who for the past two years has car
ried off premier batting honors of the National League has launched a final
drive to boost his 1922 average above
the coveted .400 mark. The St. Louis favorite Is on thi brink of his ambition, the figures showing him hitting .399. In 1920 he toppled the league hitters with a mark of .370 and last season romped off with the honors with an average ol .397. Hornsby fell into a slump early in August, but when Jimmy Tierney ot the Pirates and "Hack" Miller of th9 Cubs began to threaten, he recovered his batting eye and started to pull away. This drive was started about the middle of August, when he was hitting only .374. He has steadily in creased and at the rate he is travel ing he will easily reach his goal the .400 mark.
In his last seven games Hornsby cracked out 13 hits, three of which were doubles and four were home runs. Tierney, who has been tagging Hornsby's heels, suffered a slump during the past week, but continues to bo the runner up with an average cf -372. Miller of the Cubs is in third place with an average of .357. The averages include games of Wednesday. Max Carey of the Pirates has the base stealing honors easily sewed up for the season with 44 thefts, his clos
est rivals being Burns of Cincinnati and Frisch of New York, who are tied
with 28.

The Giants, with 10 more games to

The Yankees with six games yet to play, downed Cleveland, 9 to 3, for their fifth straight victory and kept a lead of three and a half games over the Browns, who defeated Philadelphia, 11 to 5. The New York clubs need win half their games the Giants five and the Yankees three to retain their championship titles, even if the Pirates win all seven of their contests and the Browns are victorious in, their five.

U. S. Needs To Look For
New, Young Tennis Material
America needs to look more than one or two years ahead to preserve the present unparalleled supremacy in
all sports. Uncle Sam is riding nicely
now on the crest of a wave that covers
practictlly every international sport, Glory of the past is not sufficient foun
dation for success in the future. One
of the things that America must do to preserve the Davis Cup tennis trophy for any length of time is to de
velop a good doubles team. The vic
tory of Gerald Patterson and Pat O'Hara Wood in the double contest of the recent Davis Cup matches proved that America needs a better working team. It is not fair to lead the inference, however, that the Australian won the doubles because the American opposition was poor. Many critics believe that Patterson and Wood could have defeated any doubles pair In the world with the game they played in that contest.
YVhitey Witt. In the ninth inning of the first game of the "crucial caries" between the Yankee and Browns at St. Louis s. spectator knocked Whitey Witt unconscious. The Yanks were winning the game at the time. The Yankee outfielder got sweet revenge for the insult when he broke up the third game with a single in the ninth that drove in the tying and winning runs.
Undoubtedly, in the early days of western Texas, land was sometimes more of a liability than an asset
Jim Luke was the possessor of two such sections; cactus had no convert
ible value nd the rattlesnake market was bearish. He had a. trade In process with a fellow native one section
for a yearling. Coming out of the 'office of the not ary, his face was wreathed In a sat. isfied smile. "Make yer trade all right, Jim?' asked a friend.
"Make the swap? Well, I reckon I did! Say, you know that dern fool can't read or write." His voice dopped to a confidential whisper. "I
just put both sections in the deed and
he don't know the difference!" Judge.
Seldom does George Burns swing at the ball hard enough to hit a home run because of his important position as lead-off man for the Cincinnati Redlegs, but in the second game a'. Boston Friday, he crashed out a hard drive to the center field fence and reached third before the Brave centerfielder, Ray Powell, could retrieve th ball. Burns has always made it his business to get on base by means of bases on balls, singles or possibly doubles.

EARLHAM WARRIORS GIVEN HARD DRILL Earlham grid warriors received a. thorough workout on Reid field Saturday morning, consisting of scrimmage, signal , drill, and practice in blocking anf tackling. Although thesquad has plenty of weight it i3 somewhat lacking in experience. For this reason scrimmage has been held back in order that the fiew material mie-ht
master the f unda ientals of the game., With the large percentage of experienced material the influence of such, old heads as Captain Al Carter and Cobby Hinshaw will be keenly feltJ Thig is Carter's fourth year of varsitv football and he has proved himself an invaluable man behind the line. Hinshaw is also a heady player with three seasons behind him. He was captain last year. Although Bookout and Morris, star ends of last year will both be missed a number of men are showing up well fo rthe position. Milton Victorious Over Cambridge Hi Ball Club CAMBRIDGE. CITY, Sept 23.
