Eighteenth Win for the Great
GHOVKU CLKVKLANll ALHNANDKIt, premier
pitcher, won his eighteenth victory of the season,
outpointing Kppo Itixey in ten fast and furious rounds.
Alex looked like the same old boj . for he had evrvthimr
and caused the ball to do a lot of funny tricks. Ills
control wns good nnd Ills side-arm curve wns breaking
beautifully away from the hitler. His fast ball also had
n lot on it nnd when he hcttled down the locnl athletes
could no nothing,
Hlxey. ton, was in rnre form nnd pitched one of his
best gniues this jenr. Hp lost because he couldn't control
the pellet. In the third he walked two in succession nnd
lunde it possible for the Cubs to score their first run.
In the tenth he was aiming ut the plate and three safe
hits ruined his nftcrnoou.
At that, the Chicago gents were extremely lucky.
In the seventh Terry swiped a blngle from Mack Wheat
when lie made n back-handed stab and caught his line

Flnck leaned against the right field wall to pull down
Casey Stengel's long drive which would huve scored

The Cubs have pulled sensational fielding stunts In
every game. Robertson saved the game for his side on
Saturday when he made that thrilling catch on a short

field to drag down Tragesser's swipe which was good for
three or four bases. Tlie home folks were not ht all lucky

Bert Gallia Goes Over the Hurdles
IT IS reported that Bert Gallia has tnken it on the run
und now is playing with the Oil City club. This news
was Mashed over the wires last night nnd explains Cnllia's
abseiK e from the game yesterday,
Itall plajcrs have their own original way to leave the
club. Instead of announcing their Intention of ijuitting,
they sneak away at night, keep their departure n secret
and' no one knows where tliey arc until tlie name Is found
in un outlaw line-up.
It looks ns if the athletes were ashamed of quitting
the club. Wouldn't it be much better if they quit their
jobs like men and leave In tlie open with tlie good wlsheH
of every one?

links on the grounds of the

the open championship of the Western
Golf Association,
Flay started nt ft o'clock on both
courses, and those who used course No,

in the nfternnon. This nrrangement
will permit all of the 100 entrants to
continue in play during the entire
tournament instead of devoting twodnys
to elimination rounds, ns has been the
practice.
James Barnes, of tlie Sunset Hill
Club, St. Louis, who won the chnm
ninnship Inst yenr nt Mnylield, Cleve

Association of America, will not be

Iship this year. He won the title last
year.
Inasmuch ns he was detained by the.
association to piny nn exhibition match
for its benevolent fund, nnd thereby
earned something over $2000 for the n.
socintion, nnd In view of his showing
for American golf abroad, Barnes, will
be permitted to enter this year's tour

the qualifying round of his own dis

The Prodigal Son
WHEN tho season opened back in
April those who followed the chart
of the dope Were convinced thnt the
Giants had ono of the test pitching
staffs in the league with Barnes, Nehf,
lonry. Ilcnton and Douglas on top ot
the hill.
They looked extremely good on copy
paper, but for some reason broke com
pletely upon the field. They were ham
mered fore and nft. back nud forth, here
and there nnd nil the rest of It.
But about the time Frlsch returned
to action the staff began to throw aside
its winding sheet nnd emerge from the
morgue. In tho last two or three weeks
they have nil returned In a bunch,
most of them in n winding mood, nnd
neither Dodgers nor Reds nre any too
suro tlint New York is entirely
eliminated.
The two leaders were figuring upon a
tidy nip nnd tuck time among them
selves until n casunl inspection of the
club standing suddenly developed the
news that the Prodigal Son was on his

Havana filler.
That takes in so large a sector of tho
smoking population that we can hardly
make enough Robt. Burns cigars to go
around.
Just as long as men express a preference
for cigars of the "full Havana-filler" typo
made popular by Robt. Burns, we shall
continue to give Robt. Burns his full
Havana filler and cure it to an agreeablq
mildness.
