COBB'S SPURT CARRIES HIM
TO. 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:

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

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;

Whltey Fitzgerald at tho new Washington Sport

and the result proed that he was being rushed
too fast. The victory of Tounc JIcGovern over
Young Dlgglns, at the, Cambria, was aomewhat
of a surprise.
The nearest Wlllla Ketchell ever was to Can

first round br Patsv Wallace, former amateur

that he was the Canadian flyweight champion.
It seemed aa If he never had a. glene on

and plenty during tho few seconds tho bout

If Oeorgo Chaney's confidence can be used as a

to Bobby Reynolds the other day. the latter

Choice to Try to Stpp
the Phillies
dAME SCHEDULED 2:30 P. M.
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.
