Lobie' Browns, retuwd to stay licked, turnwl turtle ana
iwh a glorious to My nothing of a unanimous victory.
Ordinarily, when the home club floolrs at, the Mart it
keeps on flooicing until at the end an adding machine Is
needed to locate the correct total. Then the players get
(heir names in the papers because it Is necessary to rv'nt
the Hoe-up of the winners and the losers for box coro
purposes.
But it was different yesterday. For some reason
or other there was n startling reversal of form and no one
was more surprised than the St. Loole gents when they
realized they were finishing s-ccond. All of this was done
in a semlprivatc exhibition, for one of the largest crowds
of the season wrs abent.
There are two youthful heroes deserving of special
mention for the winning of the twenty. fourth hall game
of 1020. They are Ed Rommel nd rrauk Welsh. The
former twirled wonderful ball after Have Kcefc stepped
out of the picture and the latter did some slugging which
caused many runs meaning four to trirkle over the
plate. Welsh's single in the fourth registered the first
tally and bis home-run clout in the fifth sent two more in
ahead of him.
Welsh is Improving every day and seems to have a
regular berth cinched. He not only shines ns a hitter,
but also as an outfielder. He covers a lot of ground, la
good on ground balls and throws well. The youngster
Is making a big bit with the local fans.
Hommcl again turned in u good game and is qualify
log an Connie's star finisher, lie yielded but one run and
four widely scattered hits in the right innings he was on
the rubber and In addition soaked two hits and a pretty
sacrifice out of four trips to the plate. That sacrifice,
by the way, was the principal part of a squeeze play
hometblng we haven't seen here for many a day. It
scored Griffin, who started bitting again after eighteen
days of goose eggs.
The A's look like a different ball club when tbey
are. winning, and here's hoping the change in appearance
will last at least one more day.

Fulton Takes a Chance With Wills
NEXT MONDAY night at Newark. N. J., the first
boxing show of the new International Sporting Club
will be staged. Fred Fulton, the ferocious plasterer, will
t mingle with Harry Wilis In the wiud-up and Dundee and
, Eddie FItzslmmons and Frank Moran and Wild Burt
-VKenny also are on the card.
Wills for a long time has been regarded as one of
the best heavyweights In the world, but no one would
r meet him because of the color line. Fulton, however, is
anxious to get back into the good graces of the public
and decided to take u chance. He figures that If he can
win decisively from the colored star, Dempsey will have
to give Kim a chance at the title.
Those who have seen Wills box in private say he is
a wonder and can trim any heavyweight in the world.
But it is different when Harry boxes in public. Perhaps
he is entirely too good for the onnonents selected for him
pfTMui he does not put forth his best offorta, for on several

First "CroociaV Scries Begins Tomorrow
NEW TOtlK will be a busy little village this week.
The yacht races, which are running full blast, are
attracting' lots of attention, but this Is likely to wear off
a trifle when the Cleveland club appears on the Polo
Grounds tomorrow to begin the first "crooclal" series of
the year. The Yanks are scrapping hard for first place,
and. encouraged by their showing against the White Sox,
have visions of mopping up and stepping out In front.
Huggins's athletes are hitting the ball with zest and
fervor, and, despite mediocre pitching, are winning games
by large scores. Ruth, it must be remembered, is not
the only slugger on the club. There lire five others who
are likely to break up the ball game at any time
Bodle. Pecklnpaugh. I'ipp. Pratt .ind Bobby Metisel.
That beavy artillery will make things interesting, al
though the Indians arc the heavy favorites.

Ruth Smashes Two Records
BAMBINO nUTH. the bulb buster, now has a major
league record all to hinelf Yesterday he smnsbed
two home runs at the Polo Grounds, and in so doing
smashed two established records. Id the first game he
busted his own mark, hung up lat ear. making a total
of thirty circuit clouts. Then, in the second game, he
raised it one.
The world's record was made by Perry Werdcn. of
the Minneapolis club of the Western League, in 1005,
when he slammed out forty-five circuit clouts. In 1010,
Ping Bodic made thirty homers while u member of the
S:u Francisco club of the Pacific Coast League.
Here are some other notable four -base performances:
E. E. Calvert, of the Muskogee team of the Western
Association, forty-three circuit wallops in 1017.
Frank -Roth, of the Evansvillc team of the Central
Lcaguef thirty-six in 1001.
Hesscc, of the McAlcster team of the Western Asso
ciation, thirty-four In 1015.
Gray, of the Charleston team of the Ohio State
League, thirty-three in 1013.
"Bunny" Brief, of the Salt Lake City team of the
Pacific Coast League, thirty-three in 1010.
The Babe is doing mucti better than was expected.
At the start of the season he seemed to be off form, and
it was predicted on all sides that he would bo a bust.
However, he hit bis stride and still is going strong.
It is claimed that the short right and left fields at
the Polo Grounds arc assisting Ruth to establish u record.
Forget it. Babe will make home runs on ANY park,
the bigger the better.

there to play baseball and wore a uni
form for that purpose. He also wore n
Klove.
Gnrvy Cravath was first to see him.
Goryr is manager and sees everything. (
"Gene." said Garry confidntlally,
"how would you like to play shortstop I
today? Fletcher has been canned for
trying to strangle some riiv. and if vou
don't want to take his place, tou will j
have to do it anyway. How about it?"
"I'll piny any place oceo." rntorted
Gene. "Show me the position." i
Gene played a bang up game and got
bis name in the papers '

would be there soon.

GaTry Cravath strolled into the din
ing room, not because the door was
open, but out of force of habit. He
seated himself and ordered
steaks.
"Where's Paulette?" he asked of the
waiter, just to open u conversation.
"Mistab Paulette ain't here." re
plied the waiter. "Ain't seen him this
mawn'In."
Cravath seemed lmt in thought as he
destroyed the pair of steak".
"Something is wrone." lie muttered.
"If Paulette i-n't here, he must be
missing.''

President Baker was sitttne in hU

President Mallen.

President Raker frowned.
"This case demand my immediate
attention," he said shortly, "I am go

Out in Pittsburgh a reporter was
hard at work. This happens occasion

a telegram which had been deliverer!
with unusual promptness one day late.
"So Paulette is missing. 'llic said to
Himself. "Gene has taken it on the

Cravath apparently was lost as n
malor leaeuer as a batter. He seldom
appeared, but yesterday introduced him
self to the bt. Louis fans and the
same Cravath of old. Gavvy trotted
lazily to the plate in the ninth inning
with his tail-enders trailing 2 to 0.
They could not touch dinky curves sent
up by Bill Sherdel. They had hit Haines
and Doaks and Sehupp for holld swats,
but Sberdel held them back.

his shoulder like a toothpick. Sherdel
pitched No. 2 and Gavvy again swung

The Final Word
The game still has Us share of thrills
Aro matter where you. turn;
Where pulses throb as Man o' War
Rolls in with speed to burn;
nherc rival yachts go whirling by
OrVardon sinks a putt,
Or Ted nay takes his niblick out
And clouts one from the rut !
But after all one thrill remains
as each wild echo grows
When old "Babe" takes the home run
trail
And hits one on the nose'.
The cinder path has countless stars
n no seeic uiympio fame;
And Tilden has the Kp'i clan
Still thrilling at his game;
When Speaker whirls back for a fly
Ten thousand putscs .throb
The while ten thousand more'aclaim
The camlnn ruth nt Oohh:
But all in all there's one turn left
Which lifts 'em to their toes.
When old "Babe" lakes the home run
trail
And cracks one en tho nose.
Overlooking a Det
TN PL-AOB of attempting to drag out
some promising young or middle
aged candidate to meet Jnck Dcmpsey,
boxing impresarios arc overlooking a
tidy bet.
The best scheme available ia to ar
range a series of elimination bouts,
wherein Fulton. Wills. Brennan, Tun
ney, Martin and all other challengers or
near challengers, arc Interested.
Suppose only the four best were
picked nnd the announcement was made
that tho final winner would meet, the
rhnmplon. If Fulton should beat Wills
nnd Brennan should upset his oppo
nent, Fulton and Brennan could then
take a running jump nt each other, with
the winner picked as Dcmpsey'n chal
lenger, and the public better satisfied
that the right selection had been made.
Fulton looks to be the strongest choice
just nt this moment. But if some one
outside of Dempsey can drop or stop
the lanky plasterer, just that much more
excitement would be added to the pres
ent whirl.
Favor Cleveland '
TH13 Toe-hold Yanks are still confi
dent they can slough their way to
a pennant, but in the main ball players
on other clubs pick Cleveland to win.
For the last two years the Cleveland
club has finished with n fancy dash
through September, and this time they
spend most of the closing month at
home. They have no Blugger to equal
Ruth but they havo shown a lino of
staple hitting all tho year, with one of
the strongest attacks ever known in but
iu- iuu,i u nn-iu, ,ouu icura march
since April.
T .?l.nin(f meet'"? of tn'w two
clubs will have no smatl bearing on th
outcome, as each victory and each de
feat will have n double value.
The best chanco the Tanks have to
win Is to step out nnd hang n setback,
upon their main rivals well blistered
necks, but the Bambino Btickaroo will
bo forced to adjust his eleration to IU
longest range to bring this result about.
Handicapping a Championship
TT MAY bo that most of the non-
combatants nnd bystanders know
nothing about it.
But even those who do admit that
even in u yacht race a time allowance
or a handicap arrangement of any sort
takes away the championship feature.
In sport no championship fa run hr
a handicap system. There is no reason
whatsoever why two yachts shouldn't
start from scratch, with a standard
measurement or limit set for a cham.
pionshlp test. No other arrangement
will ever be taken as any trtlc" test,
SEVERAL have made the remark that
Inasmuch ns tho Resolute broke down
under her first test, tho race should
have been called off. Isn't stamina si
much a. part of, any race as spcetlj Thin
Idea of calling off any race? decided under
such conditions Is, of course, tho final
word in h piffle. Tho race goes and
should go to tho entry who crosses the
winning line in front, who ,has the.
needed mixture of speed and stamina
to get there in time.
IN THE meanwhile, however, Reso
lute and Shamrock finish, your
Uncle fjnmuel hasn't any great amount
of worry ahead famong the thirty con
tending nations, with the full returns
from his Olympic try-outs posted. Any
nation who can bent these returns Is en
titled to the olivo without further de
bate. (Corvrlonf, 1)2). All rioM- re-erved.)

The Right Sedan
For Right Now
Its Barring en Tlrea, Oil and Upkeep Add to
the RMlng Advaatate of Tripltx Sprlngi
THB OVERLAND SEDAN b an exceptionally grSbd
car for all year use. Its ventilator in the cowl, and
adjustable windows, with its thick heat resistance top;
with the great riding comfort of Triplex Springs, make
it fine for touring. Its great economy, which begins
with the low price, is exampled in many recent extra
ordinary gasoline records. The most notable was the
355-mile Los Angeles-Yosemite Economy Run in which
the Overland Sedan won in its class with an average of
27.6 miles per gallon.
