rpilE completions of tbc pennant races in both major
'JL leagues are ns changeable as a peroxide blonde.
Even the dopiest dopester ilnds it difficult to get hep,
"which it nnotber way of learning what it's all about.
1 "The leading teams nrc having their ups and downs, with
-tilno downs to every up.
The old see-saw stuff has been knocked lopsided and

- Today the official standings of the leagues look some
thing like this :
AMERICAN
L. XV.
Chicago 77
New York 77
Cleveland 75
NATIONAL.
Cincinnati 07
Brooklyn , 09
New York 07
Thus It can easily be seen that the leading clubs are
'''fcnrgllng the i-aine tune and pulling no sour notes. The
".White Sox are one game ahead of the Yanks and the
J;'Tanks arc one one-thousandth of a point nhcadof Cleve
land. Cloe? You said it.
vi On the other paw, we have the Reds leading Brooklyn
by one-half n game and the Dodgers are one-half a game
""' ahead of the Giants. Therefore on both circuits, only one
.? arao separates the first and third teams. They arc stick
tlng close together, for united they stand and divided they
flop out of the world series scandal. And how those 'guys
tlove scandal !
n Yesterday was a turbulent cjay on the frontier.
" There were upsets and everything. F'rlnstance, the
Brooklyn hopefuls --- ' Lose and took it on the
"run. Twice in the same place, which n cans a double
header was lost unanimously. But there's a reason.
When up n'-"r htiff opposition. Brooklyn plays like
champions. When the second division clubs arc led out
they play like Brooklyn. Nobody could play like that
" and win.
Same with the Giants. After making a fairly decent
showing, they take a look at the I'ittsburgh gang and g&
blind. Another double killing, which is a real clever
way of putting it, we'd fray. The Pirates used a pair of
,eecond-tring pitchers entitled Carlson and Ponder. They
turned into first stringers for a day and now look at the
Giants.
VOL con' tell anything about this pennant rare an
this last day of August. Only a month until the
' end of the season and you never can tell ichat teill
happen in those thirty days. Hut it's mighty exciting
-mighty exciting.
Bawston Likely to Spill the Beans
fpHB Bed Sox, meaning the Bawstou club, proved to
JL be the stumbling block to pennant -aspiring teams in
.. the last week. Cleveland received a terrible walloping
and now the White Sox arc on the pan. From gents
who have traveled considerably and get n lot of real stuff
"from the stable, we learn that the Red Sox now are
playing better bail than any club in the league and will
wade through all opposition until the finale on October fl.
Tim Hendryx is bark in center field and clouting the
pill with zest and fervor. Brady U a wonder at second
base, Vitt is playing a great game at third and the
pitchers are hitting on all twelve. Boston, of course,
cannot win the pennant, but don't be surprised to see that
gang in the first division, trying to horn into third place.
The leaders arc on the defensive, and those beeond
division clubs are likely to upset the apple at any time.
Yesterday, the White Sox tried to put one over and
finished a bum second. The Yanks didn't play, but
Cleveland knocked the daylights out of Washington.
Right now the Indians are the sentimental favorites.
The fans are for them strong because of the game fight
they now are putting up after losing the principal rog in
the infield. Tris Speaker also has a host of friends.
Spoke was n very sick man when he was here, but he
played in every game and the crowd wai with him.
Every time he stepped up to the plate a volley of ap
plause greeted him. Few players are that popular in
alien towns.
"If we can clean up in Washington." said Speaker
before he left on Saturday night, "we will win the pen
nant. We then will be close to first place nnd will have
the advantage of closing the season at home."
That same line of chatter can be applied to the White
Box If they get by in Boston and it will be a tough
fight they too, will go home In first place and end tne
season at home.
THE Yanks are up against it. They travel xcest
uard next iceck and tcill not havo easy sailing.
Mays tcill lose his popularity ichen he gets out of Xcto
York, for the outside fans do not helieve he became a
hero tchen ho leaned poor Ray Chapman. The same
goes for the ball club. Judging from Gotham reports
the pitcher did a wonderful thing ichen he came back
and icon a ball game the day after Chapman was
buried. There are other xcays of looking at that
performance.
All Is Not Rosy in Rcdland
BUT let's get back to the National League. Cincinnati
Is leading for a couple of hours because a rookie
named Napier, who was lifted from the Shreveport club
recently, copped another contest. That makes two in a
row. Today, however, somebody clso has to hurl and
thereby hangs the tale.
Pat Mornn is having his troubles. Ills high-strung
athletes have developed temperaments nnd are difficult
to handle. The world's wrong and they are right. One
day they will play great baseball and the next a Ntranger
would Imagino he was witnessing a battle for the cham
pionship of Pier S.
Yesterday a dispatch from Cincinnati stated thnt Slim
Sallce was ubout to become attached to the official tin
ware and shipped to Hlgginsport, Ohio, where he is the
best nnd only sheriff. It also was announced that Walter
Reuthcr and Nick Allen had been socked a fine of one
week's salary because they failed to keep themselves iu
good condition.
All of which means the boys probably are gazing
fondly into the flowing beaker which makes one forget
one's troubles and the rigid prohibition laws whatever
they arc. If they kick over the traces now, with the
race tightening up and when every game counts, thero
must be some choice scandal concealed out ttiere.
To make matters worse. Billy Kopf busted a thumb
nnd has become an involuntary spectator. Morris Rath
has been on the blink, but came back into the line-up tlio
other day, with Sicking at short. You can't go very far
with a mediocre shortstop and the pitching staff doing its
best work by electric light. It can't be done. Therefore,
the Reds arc now facing a crisis and are likely to crack
at any time.
T ALSO must 6o remembered that they have another
eastern trip to make and that will decide every
thing. Brooklyn and Xcic York are riding easy, tcith
the odds in favor of the Giants if McGraur keepi aicay
from the Lambs' Club.
Last, but Not Least
WHILE the palpitating battles for first place are being
fought, we should not forget that our loyal ball
clubs are getting a firmer hold on eighth place. Misery
loves company nnd it is a beautiful thing to have both
tail-end clubs in the same town. Nothing could be fairer
than that.
Yesterday our A's finished second to Detroit because
the Tigers scored the most runs nnd Connie had a
patched up and exceedingly bum outfield. Tilly Walker
was the only player out there. The others carried spears.
Out in Chicago, the Phils allowed Chicago to gain a
few more points in the won and lost column. But losing
a ball game means nothing thebe days. We always get
excited when a borne club wins.
LOOKS as if the strike against Carl Mays had fliwed.
On Sunday the bean bailer pitched against the St.
Louis Browns and got away with it. There had been
reports that they would walk off the field if Carl went
into the box. When it comes to a showdown, the only
club that will go through with it is Cleveland. The
others would like to but they dassent.
IN YESTERDAY'S game Ed Rommel was taken out at
the end of the sixth inning and Dutch Leonard suffered
the same fate. It seemed strange to the spectators thut
the switches were made, for both were, going good at the
time.
But here Is the reason. The heat was so oppressive
that both Leonard and Rommel succumbed and couldn't
have pitched if they wanted to. They were knocked out
by the heat.

MISKE IS BETTER THAN
WILLARD, SAYS DEMPSEY
Champion Steps Into Press Agent Class by Comparing
Dethroned Boxer With Opponent for Labor Day
By LOUIS H.
BESIDES being heavyweight cham

now tteps into the limelight as a high
class press agent with a "mean punch "
Although report from Benton Harbor.
Mich., are to the effect that Dempsev
has been training diligently for his
sehedu'ed twelve-round contest with
Billy Mike, roneeded by a numbr of
well-known critics ah a "set up." the
titleholder has found sufficient time to
give the newspaper boys a few hot lines.
"Miske is a better fighter than Jess
VIllard," was the .olar plexus ora
tion made bv Dempsev, according to a
report from Benton Harbor today. And
the champion's reason vas as follows :
It took Dempsrv three rounds in
which to dispose of Willard, thereby
winning the world's heavyweight
diadem, while Dewpsey uas unable to
etou away Miskie in two different
contests, one in ten rounds and an
other in six rounds.
Miskie really did stand off Dcmpsey
In a pair of bouts. Their ten-round
content was held at St. Paul two
years ago, and seven months later
they faeed raeh other in a hix-round
encounter in this city. These matches
were put on before Dempscy had
separated Willard from his title.

five of them company events, were tho
order of the second day's shooting in the
twenty-seventh nnnual Sea Girt riflo
tournnment. Tho only Individual cveut
on the program today was the Gould
rnpid fire mntch. The corapuny nnd
company tyro team matches of both the
New York and the New Jersey State
Ttifle Association and a two-man team
match round out the day's schedule.
The New Jersey Association's com
pany tenra matches are both shot at 200
and 500 yards. They were the llrst
events htarted this morning. The two
man team match, which is shot at COO
and 1000 yards, was started at 10 o'clock
and after the first atage had been shot
the New York company team event, ut
200. 500 and 000 yards, was started.
Failure of tho team from the Third
Infantry, with headquarters In Camden,
to shoot steadily on the 200-vnrd ranld
fire rango, and the consistent work of
the victors, combined yesterday after
noon to win for the Sixth New Jersey

team event at 200, .".OO and 000 yurd.s

victory with n total team score of
1302 against the Third's 1204. One of
the Third Itegiment's men, frilling down
for a score of only twenty in tho 200
yard rapid fire stage, probably cost them
the match. The hame man nhot sen

making a score of forty -nine out of n

with 1221 and the third cavalry team
fifth with 1082.

EXPECTATIONS arc that not n
single one of Philadelphia's first
ten nmatcurs will be absent from this
year's play for the amateur golf cham
pionship of the United States, the most
promising struggle for tbe title, on pa
per, ever to be staged.
J. W. Piatt, city champion, nnd Ercd
Knight, who has won a number of Im
portant matches this year. leave today
for the Enc'neers' course. Hoehn. L. I..
where the championship proper Marts
.Monday.
The clans arc beginning to gather
there today, according to reports.
Walter Reynolds. Norman Maxwell,
Edwnrd C. Clarey, George Hoffner nnd
Paul Tewksbury are all planning to go
over Friday to get In at leant four
rounds over the course before the cham
pionship. Max Mnrston, representini;
Merion. will very likelv go before that,
with Pat Grant and Eddie Driggs also
taking tin the grand march.
The Philadelphia entries are expected
to reach ten or a dozen if all nrc able to
make the trip.
To Gloom
There never has been so much talent
before in the American classic as is en
tered this year and there can not be too
great cause for gloom if the Philadcl
phlans hit all around the necessary
iuallfying total without breaking
through solidly.
Grnntland Rice has nn interesting ar
ticle in the current issue of the Amer
ican Golfer on the Engineers' course.
"There are those who think it the
finest course in the country. There nre
others who look upon it us u bag of
tricks nnd who finish n round muttering
strange things," lie writes.
"It will be a test that no entrant In
the impending championship will ever
tegard as a light one.
"The main test will be on the greens.
"If these nrc cut and rolled to any
keenness, with their various undula
tions and slopes and twists you will find
strong men weeping as they finish the
round. . ,
"The coure, under 0400 yards in
length isn't long. l'ule-s heavy rains
or heavy winds prevail, it vill be pos
sible to reach most of the greens with u
drive and a pitch.
"Yet the sloping effect of tho greens
and the rugged nature of tbe rough is
Riich that low scoring is a rare mat
ter." Sound Nerves
The course for the qualifiers, or
would -be's, is described as a stiff test
of sound nerves and nerve. The short
holes arc liable to result in 5's or 0 s
more often than 3's and there are plenty
of spots to wreck tho hopeful.
Driggs is n uiitive of the Knglnecrs
course, six other of the local entrants
are "veterans" of a national tourna
ment, and the Philadelphia prospect is
therefore not so bad.
On n coure such lis the whole field
would ordinarily pluy its golf, it would
be possible to go through the entry list
und pick with some precision the play
ers from each district that ought to
qualify. . - , ,
New York has such hopes as Oswald
Kirkby, Jerrv Travers. Jesse Sweetser,
Gardiner White, Frank Dyer. John G.
Auderson. Lucien Walker, J. S. Worth
ington. They are liable to qualify moro
than their "quota" of four, since they
have had the opportunity right ulong to
get accustomed to the course. ,filve
them four.
Beantown Confident
Boston has Francis Ouimet, Jess
Guilford, F. C. Newton nnd a sure
fourth. The South has D. C. Corkran,
Bobby Jones, J. S. Dean, Louis
Jncoby, Richard Woolworth. Perry
Adair, Nelson Whitney, George V.
Rotnn. Give them live.
Chicago has Chick Evans. Bob Gard
ner nnd a "dark hovse." Two.
Down below there are "Rudy" Knep
per, ii wire bet; R. E. Bockencamp,
one of the most promising young play
ers out there; Jimmy Manlon, who tied
for the medal last year, and in other
parts arc Jimmy Standlsh nnd Harold
Weber, with a strong field in this gen
eral section.
Four at least.
Then there's the tcrrlblo Pittsburgh
district, takers of so. many champiou
ships and holders of the present.
S. D. Herron, Bill Fowncs, Grant
Peacock, Dwight Armstrong, also of
Philadelphia; J. B. Crookston, K. C.
Long, E. M. Dyers and others, surely
four.
Great Britain will have its four
strongest amateurs, Cyril Tolley. Roger
Wcthcred. Tom Armour nnd Lord
Charles Hope, and Canada is sure to
laud four of its team also.
Add W. II. Gardner and u few other
miscellaneous players und it would make
up the quota of thirty-two, most of
whom seem to have a real chance.
Betting, However
But that docs not keep local fans
from wishing to lay bet8 that at least
five Philadelphinns will qualify, and
maybe icvuu, which, we believe, is just
about tbc record from this city.

Song of tlio Stalwart
Give mo but room,1o fight my way,
I ask no other gift from Fata;
Though it should crowd on me at bay,
Where only ghosts and shadows wait.
Shadows of old defeats blown by,
Ghosts of old dreams drawn from
life's pit;
Yet all I ask is room to try
And prove Vato cannot make me quit.
Xo life of ease or silken doicn,
A'o dreams to mako the highway
sweet,
yVhcrc life shall leave tho golden crotcn
For those who dwell beyond defeat.
Xo glint of glory from the height,
No flare of fame to-call'me far;
Merely the ground to make my fight
Against whatever odds thero arc.
The Champion
Clin William Johnston is now turf
O tennis champion of the United
States, n title which he defends at For
est Hills through the next few days.
William Tilden id tennis champion of
Great Brltnln. holding u title that car
rier with it the world's chnmplonshlp.
Now If Johnston should win from
Tilden in the coming chnmplonshlp
would he bo recognized ns champion of
the world? H. n. H.
r
F TILDEN should win
championship now under
the current
way his
clnlm would be unmistakable, following
his British achievement. If Johnston
should successfully defend hN title by
beating Tilden you could get all the
argument you wanted from friends of
each.

Properly lubricated, your engine should develop full
power whenever you need it. That means no slowing up
on grades- no laboring of the engine no knocking or
straining on hills.
Hill-climbing power a sure test of engine efficiency
depends upon your piston-ring seal the thin film of oil
between the piston rings and cylinder walls.
When this oil film breaks down, hot gases under com
pression rush past the pistons. Power is lost, gasoline
wasted, oil thinned out in the crank case.
The vital importance of this piston-ring seal is one
reason why SUNOCO Motor Oil the new scientific lubri
cantis made in six distinct types six different
viscosities (bodies).
SUNOCO guarantees a proper piston-ring seal in any
design of engine whether new or old. In addition, it
eliminates carbon troubles, as "The Burning Test" proves.
SUNOCO assures greater power and greater mileage
than other motor oils. Ask any SUNOCO dealer for the
right type. He knows.
