CAMBRIDGE WILL MIX WITH EAGLES TENTH TIME ON LOCAL YARD Inasmuch as the Portland team cancelled their engagement with the Eagles for Sunday's game here, the Cambridge City Grays gladly consented to another encounter with the local
Birdmen and they will therefore clash
in their tenth game of the season at
the yard at 3 o'clock.
Exhibition park is expected to be
filled with bugs of the baseball world, for rivalry of the greatest extent always exists when Richmond and Cambridge hook rains and go to it. The locals have played erratic ball in the last two games played, but they claim that they will have all that out of their systems for the coming encounter with the Grays. Nine errors spilled things into the laps of the Liberty playera here last Sunday and they Journeyed south with an easy win. Creagerman Plan. In the event that Ilenges is unable to get here for Sunday's game to play at third, the Eagles will try to get

(By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Sept. 30. Harry Wills,
the hairy-chested stevedore from New Orleans, won a fight last night but ia
the ODinion of boxing followers did
not add to the reputation he is trying
to build up for his proposed bout with
Jack Dempsey for the world s heavyweight boxing championship next year.
A trembling young piece of ebony,
Clem Johnson by name, who registers

the stiffegt evening s work that Harry has been nut to for some time. Clem
established a record for eating pun

ALLEYS OPEN MONDAY
(By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Sept. 30. Down comes the curtain on the major league season tomorrow with George Sisler of the St. Louis Browns batting champion of the American league, Rogers Hornsby of the St. Louis Cardinals champion of
the National league and Hornsby also the conqueror of the mighty "Babe" Ruth for the 1922 honors in home run hitting. Sisler, acclaimed the most valuable player in the American league, and the slugging Hornshy both will finish the season with an average above the
coveted .400 mark, as the latest figures show Sisler hitting .417, and Hornsby whaling away to the tune of .400. With the final games scheduled for tomorrow, these St. Louis rivals
will have an opportunity to better
these figures, which include games of
Wednesday.
This is the third time Hornsby has
been crowned king of batters and the
second for Sisler. Hornsby captured the honors in 1920 and 1921. Sisler's
last appearance on the throne was in
1920 when he finished with a mark of
407.
Cobb's average this year undoubted
ly will be the best he has attained
since he hit .410, 10 years ago. He is
batting .398 today. Although he led
the leaeue six times after that his
average never was above .390. Prev
ious to 1911, Cobb led the league for
four years, but his best mark during
that period was .385.
Harry Heilman of the Tigers, who
last season nosed out Cobb for the bat
ting honors, is in fourth place today
with an average of .357, compared with
his .394 last season. Trls Speaker,
manager of the Indians, who led in
1916 when he finished with a mark of
,386, is in third place with an aver
age of .378.
Kino of Stealers.
In addition to being the champion
batter, Sisler also is the king of base
stealers. He has pilferred 49 bases and hi3 cosest rival is Kenneth Wil
Hams, a teammate, who has stolen 84
Williams, who started with a blaze
of glory to capture the home run hon ors has clouted out 39 four-baggers
with Tillie Walker of the Athletics
the runner ud with 36. Ruth, who
last season bagged 59, is in third place, with 35.
Other leading batters for 100 or
more games: speaicer, cieveiana,
378; Heilmann, Detroit, .357; Wil
liams, St. Louis, .332; Ed. Miller. Phila
delphia, .331; Tobin, St Louis, .328; Schang. New York, .327; Veach, De
troit, .326; Pipp, New York, .326;
Bassler. Detroit, .326.
past 23 years finish the season with a mark of .400 or better. The last National league player to hit in .400 was Ed Delehanty of Philadelphia, who made the grade in 1899,
wnen ne finished the season with a
mark of .408. Prior to that only five
others had become members of the 400 club. These were Willie Keeler,
Adrian "Pop" Anson, Jesse Burkett,
Hughey Duffy and Ross Barnes.
Hornsby, m acquiring his average,
participated in loO games. He crack
ed out 243 hits for a total of 438
bases. His hits include 41 doubles, 14 triples and 42 home runs. There is no danger of Hornsby being overtak
en fo rthe batting honors as his closest rival in Oscar Ray Grimes of the Cubs who is the runner-up with an average of .354.

COUNTRY CLUB PLANS WELCOME MONDAY FOR
GOLF CHAMP, SARAZEN Six committees have completed their plans for the reception of Gene Sarazen, national open golf champion of the United States for 1922. who plays
at the Richmond Country club golf
course Monday, paired with E. W. Har-
bert, local professional, against y Baxter, of the Butler Country club, of Hamilton and Roy Robertson, of Indianapolis. Wilbur C. Hibberd and John Clements, two of the best players on the Country club roster, will oppose Sarazen and one of the three other professionals in match play Monday morning, starting at 8:30 o'clock.

o'clock with Sarazen and Harbert paired against Baxter and Robertson. Golf
fans of the city will have a cnance to witness a match which will mark the climax of the golf season in Richmond when these premier stars of the

UNCERTAINTY HANGS
ON IN PENNANT RACE
(By Associated Press) NEW Y'ORK, Sept 30. The mathe
matical uncertainty in the American
League Dennant race existed today
with but two games left on the eched
ules of each of the contenders, New
York and St. Louis.
Inability of the Yankees for the sec
ond straight day to hit the offerings
of a former team-mate this time Jack
Quinn cost them another reverse at
the hands of the Red Sox 1 to 0, and
a chance to cinch the championship.
The Browns meanwhile, clung to the possibility that they may tie the leaders and thus necessitate a play off series by defeating the Chicago White Sox 3 to 2. One victory for the Yankees or. a defeat for the Browns will settle the race. In order to obtain a tie the Browns must win today and tomorrow from the White Sox. while the Yankees lose to Boston today and to Washington tomorrow.
Gene Sarazen, national open golf champion of the United States for 1922, will be in Richmond Monday for golf matches with professionals at the Country club course in the morning and afternoon.
WILL GIANT HITTING
OVERCOME PITCHING HANDICAP, QUESTION By R. R. REID Will, the- slugging of the Giant field
ers overcome . the pitching handicap which is facing McGraw for the com
ing series? That is the big question which the veteran manager now facea as the series looms into sight
McGraw is depending largely on his outfielders and infielders to carry him through to another title, carrying with It the championship ol the baseball world. .' . No doubt, the Giants are up against it. when it comes to hurlers for the present series, but they have had an opportunity to rest from the strenuous season's work and they will have the edge over the Yankees, if the latter team faces them for the title. The Yanks have had to fight all the way to the finish and if they do take the field, their pitchers will be tired from the strain of the close finish. Therefore, -with a possibility of their
pitchers coming back and the sluggers on the team maintaining their season's batting pace, the Giants have an excellent chance to show the way in the series. ; - Ross Young, Casey Stengel and Emil Meusel form a trio of outfielders who are consistent in getting under fly balls and are steady at the bat. - - ,; . , ;.- ;The Giant infield might lust as well
be called a "Million Dollar" asset, for
the players who grace the respective positions are of the caliber which it takes to go through two seasons to a pennant. With Douglas gone, Nehf and Jess Barnes are McGraw's big twirlers. With the rest that they have had, they undoubtedly will come through.
