WITHIN THIRTEEN POINTS OP SPEAKER'S .382 AVERAGE f. , , Georgian Gains Ten Points on Indian Star and Creeps Within Striking Distance of Top. ; Hornsby and Daubert Tied THE race for batting honors In the American League Is creating. almost aa much Interest as the race for the pennant. Cobb has a chance to set a record that will be difficult to equal In tho future If ho succeeds In leading the league In batting for ten consecutive years. Only a few weolts remain and he made his greatest spurt during the last week, gaining 10 points on tho Indian outfielder. " One week ago 23 polnt3 separated Cobb from Speaker. Now Just 13 points eepnrato the determined Georgian from his mark, and once he reaches Tris It will be a hard task to hold him In check. Speaker at present has an average of .382 and Cobb claims .369. If Ty can thrive on western pitchers as he feasted on those In the East It will bo only a matter of days until he Is back on top. Joo Jackson also Is In tho raco and very much so. Ho continues to gain, and while he picked up only a point, It served to boo3t his mark to .356, only 14 points Jn tho rear of Cobb and 27 behind Speaker. In tho National Leaguo Daubert was out with an Injury, and In the few games Hornsby saw service he lost ground and dropped from a live-point lead Into n. tlo with the crippled Brooklyn s'tar with an average of .325. Robertson Is seven points away with his .318. Tho other .300 hlttera are Wagner, Wheat, Long, Chase and Hlnchman. Strunk and Mclnnls nre hitting tho ball hard for tho Athletics. Strunk Is one of tho few players In tho select and ho added two points to his .302. Mclnnls ad vanced from .264 to .271. Stock and Paskert aro tho Phils' leading hitters.

CHURCH REFUSES TO DISCUSS HIS TENNIS CHANCES Conqueror of Kumagae and McLoughlin Willing, How ever, to Talk About Golf j'MAC" MAY PLAY AGAIN Bu a Staff Correspondent WEST SIDE TENNIS CLUB, Forest Hills. L. I., Sept. 2. Tlia keen golfer, In speaking of tcnn'.e, Invariably Blaps himself on tho wrist and cries derisively. "Forty lovo." Tho keen tennis player calls Rolf an old man's game. Rarely does the follower of one sport put In a good word for tho other. But Qeorge M. Church, tho "man of the hour" In the tennis world, aspires to be a golf champion, Tho Evenino LEDar.n correspondent saw Church at the West Side Tennis Club yes tcrday after tho latter had vanquished Maurlco E. McLoughlin. and reminded htm of n conversation at Wilmington lastsprlng, whero Church was playing an exhibition match with Miss Molla DJurstcdt, the wom en's tennis champion, against W. T. Tilden, 2d, and Mlsn Marie Wagner. "Oh. yes," said Church. "I remember. Geo, I'd llko, to play golf all tho time, at that. Say. do you remember that match I played with Oeorgo Statzcll, of Aronlmlnk, at Atlantic City last fall? Playing tho sixteenth hole, I got a bad slice nnd was stymied by tho clubhouse. I then pulled oft the most wonderful shot you over saw clear over tho clubhouso and on to the green; dead to the hole." Real Contender This from a man, who, within three days, had eliminated Ichlya Kumagae. tho Jap, nnd Maurle McLoughlin, two really "real contenders" for our national tennis crown, and had established himself as a prime favorite. Modesty Is part of Church's make-up. He Is willing to talk nbout his golf, for he realizes that, as a golfer, ho Is perhaps a good tennis player, but other than to say ho Is In- good shape, ho dislikes to talk about his tennis. McLaughlin was not In a very talkative mood yesterday, either. Tho "Comet" doesn't know whether he will return next year or not. But tho chances are that he will. You can beat McLoughlin, but you cannot crush his spirit. A year from now, with the papers of the land full of tennis "dope," tho old lust for battle will almost certainly bring McLoughlin back again for still another try at tho championship bowl, which wilt becomo his permanently If he wins It again. Never Went 'They say I have been trying to como back." said tho Davis Cup hero. "I never 50 went anywhere, so that Is all nonsense. 1 can still ulay my game. Only thcro arej others who nro playing better." t But Is tho "Comet" still playing h, game? Full 7000 souls who saw him go. down to defeat at the hands of Church yea-i terday doubt It. Hla ecrvlco Is nothing like. tho cannon-ball delivery of old. Church broko through It eight times In four sets; nnd In one set "Mao" failed to win It evert once. , WAITERS TAKES FIRST SET Beats Williams in Opener, 6-3, After Rain Halts Match Inside half an hour the skies cleared ond the sun came out. Williams and Watters returned to the courts at 1 o'clock and shifted over from court No. 3 to court No. 4, which had dried out thoroughly. On the re-start tho Phlladelphlan had the service, and driving well from the baseline for pretty sideline passes, he drew further ahead at 3-1. Williams volleyed outside the lines as he advanced to tho net In the next, and Waters scored his second game. The New Orleans star drew applause from the stands as he smashed through Williams In the Btxth game and drew level, nt 3 all. Ho quite surprised Williams by making sev eral sensational "gets" that caught the for mer national champion unawares. His serv ice was again successful, and Watters took the lead at 4-3. He followed this up by capturing Williams's service once more, and. keeping up the pressure, he ran out the set at 6-3, Score: First Set. 123 120 100 Williams 0 4 4 4 1 3 3 5 E 2253 432G Watters 4 112 4 Williams's backhand shots wero uncer tain at the opening of the second set and his forehand was responsible for most of his points. His most effective shot was a forehand drlvo, cross-court, rrom corner to corner, so close to the line that Watters was unable to get far enough back to handle It. Williams took hts first service gamo and (hen captured Watters's delivery at 2 love. Tho erstwhile tltleholdcr made short work of this set. capturing four straight 'games after Watters had won his serve In the third game Williams gave the spec tators a fun for their money, displaying the dash and "pep" that carried him to the fore of national lawn tennis two years ago. The set was won at 6-1. SECOND SET Williams 4 4 14 4 4 4256 Watters 0 2 4 2 0 0 2121 The first game of the third set was a long-drawn out deuce battle, with Williams finally winning It on Watters's serve after the latter had double-faulted twice. In the next three games the New Orleans man won but three rolnts and only one of these was earned. Watters took the net In the fifth game In an attempt to head off the Phlladelphlan, but Williams whizzed the ball over the net as though shot out of a cannon. , Williams handed Watters the sixth game, but then steadied down and ran out the set at 6-1, Score; Williams 8 4 4 4 4! 430 6 Watters 6 l I 1 l 4 J is 1 Off Without a Shilling Mi ns Scored in a Week by Major League Clubs "DUNS scored by nil teams in "American and National Leagues from Saturday, August 26, to Fri day, September 1, Inclusive.

Al Demaree -was chosen to hurl the third game of the etrila against Brooklyn this nfternoon. Demareo has changed his stylo of' pitch' Ing since the opening of the season and has been pitching: splendid ball, Last sea son Demareo generally -was batted rather hard, but his teammates hit harder behind him than any other pitcher on tho staff and he was endowed with tha nickname of "Lucky Al," but this scaeort he hag lost fco many low-scoro games that ho should be called "Unlucky Al." In Pittsburgh Demaree lost a'j-to-1 gams after holding the Pirates to five hits, only two of which were clean, while he lost to tho Cubs 2 to 0 after pitching a game. Demaree, In his present form. Is a hard man to beat under any circumstances, and Is doubly effective on the home field when a large crowd Is present, as he pitches In such a manner that tho crowd In the center field seats hide the ball until It Is so close to tho batteri that he cannot take a free swing. Larry Cheney, who has been Brooklyn's most effective pitcher slhce Pfeffer started to skid, was Itoblnson's choice. Tho game was scheduled for 2:30 o'clock.
