8 CLARENCE BECK, ATHLETE, TRAINING FOR AMBULANCE DUTY IN FRANCE STEELTON BOWS TO QUAKER NINE Logan Square Romps Away With Victory, Hitting Timely; Stars in Lineup Logan Square, one of the best inde pendent teams In the State, and said to be backed by State Senator James McNlchol, walloped Shorty Miller's Steelton team Saturday, score 6 to 2. Two of the McNlchol family play on the team and are some players. Harry Davis, Connie Mack's old standby and who won fame with the Athletics, played first base under the name of ■Williams. Swigler was a big- puzzle for the Bethlehem League team. He was tight when the cushions were occu pied. Ogden had curves, but when hit successively he weakened. The game was interesting, both teams fur nishing many thrills. The score fol lows: LOGAN SQUARE Players— R. H. O. A. E. Martin, ss 1 0 3 4 0 D.

MONDAY EVENING, HXBRIBBUIIG SdSßfc TELEGRXPH AUGUST * 1917. Copyright, 1917, Th Tribune Association (Nerr York Tribune). THREE TTP ON ANANIAS A group of golfers sat one day Around the Nineteenth Hole, Exchanging lies and alibis Athwart the 1 owing bowl; "Let's give a cup," said one of them, A sparkle in his eye, "For him among us who can tell The most outrageous lie." "Agreed!" they cried, and one by one They played 'er under par; With yarns of putts and brassie shots That travelled true and far; With stories of prodigious swipes— , Of holes they made in one — Of niblick shots from yawning traps As Yardon might have done. And then they noticed, sitting by, Apart from all the rest, A stranger who had yet to join The fabricating test; "Get in the game"—they said to him — "Come on and shoot your bit" — Whereat the stranger rose and spoke As follows —or to wit— "Although I've played some holes i none, An other holes In two— Although I've often beaten par, I kindly beg of you To let me off—for while I might Show proof of well earned fame — I never speak about my scores— Or talk about my game"— They handed him the cup at once, Their beaten banners furled, Inscribing first below his name— THE CHAMPION OF THE WORLD. "Only fine batting and base running make Cobb the greatest player of his day," observes an exchange. What a droll coincidence! Only writing ability made Shakespeare a bird and If it wasn't for Caruso's voice, in what league Would he be now? "Giants pulling for Whit Sox to win." No sane ball club is hankering to grapple with Babe Ruth When the esteemed Babe happens to be feeling In the mood. To say nothing of Dutch Leonard upon fairly seasonable days. GOLF PROBLEM Sir<> I claim that as long as a man keeps hfti head still it isn't n.ecessary to look at the ball. I believe keeping the head still is the more important de tail. A friend I have says that it is equally important to look at the ball. What's the answer>| ' T. J. F. Keeping the head still may be more important, but as long as the eyes are turned in that direction, why not take a stingy peek at the ball also? Although there are occasions when many golfers could undoubtedly play better while wearing blinkers. The Giants are now In a highly precarious situation. By losing practically all their remaining games and four or five regulars they can be easily nosed out late in September—provided some rival establishment in the race im proves 37 per cent, the rest of the way. THE RABID BOAST Connje Mack made but one prediction this season and that was that he wouldn't finish last. And unless the faltering Browns toss off their winding sheets at an early date It begins to look as if Connie must have known some thing. As a rule, predicting that he will finish as good as seventh isn't the last word in overbearing confidence on the part of a manager. But when Connie made the statement last April It sounded like a boast. For verifica tion of this you may recall the Macklan record of 1916—about as follows: Won, 36; lost, 117; percentage, .235. The Mackmen. last season finished exactly forty games back of Wash ington in seventh place. So when Mack predicted that he would finish better than last he had this forty-game deficit to figure on. So far he is well ahead of last year' 6 record, and the rollicking Browns have helped him carry through. R. H. G. —Here were the Red Six-White Sox standings of last year: Won. Lost. Pet. Boston 91 63 .591 Chicago 89 65 .578 Boston's margin was two games. One of the finishing affairs was a 1-0 victory. Two runs in that game would have given Chicago a tie for the top. Figuring along these lines. It might be said that Boston won the pennant last Beason by one run. Which is close enough for an off-year. Spring Garden Team Blanks Local Nine; Fielding Was Rugged At Philadelphia Saturday the Harrisburg Division team of the Philadelphia and Reading Railway League, lost to Spring Garden, score 5 to 0.

New York Pair Is Again Tennis Winner Boston, Aug. 20. Frederick B. Alexander and Harold Throckmor ton, of New York, on Saturday won the final match of the National Pa triotic doubles lawn tennis tourna ment, which this year took the place of the national doubles champion ship. They defeated Irving C. Wright and H. C. Johnson, of this city, in straight sets, 11-9, 6-4, 6-4, on the courts of the Longwood Cricket Club. Throckmorton was the star of the match. He suffers.l several lapses in the second ant' third sets, but throughout the veteran Alexander al lowed his partner to bear the brunt of the attack. TVrockmorton's fore hand drives were particularly severe and his judgment was good. In the finals of the mixed doubles, Miss Mary Browne, of California, and N. W. Niles, of Boston, defeated Mrs. G. W. Wightman, of Boston, and R. Norris Williams, 2d, national cham pion, by a score of 4-6, 6-4.

Lebanon Smashes Ball; Now Leads League Race Lebanon, Pa., Aug. 20. —Lebanon tumbled Bethlehem out of first place in the Bethlehem Steel Corpor ation League and went back into the lead in winning Saturday's contest, 13 to 8. This was Lebanon's final game on the league schedule, but Bethlehem has one more game with Sparrows Point next Saturday at Bethlehem and still has a chance to have the race end in a tie, in which event there will be a post-season series arranged. Five thousand fans witnessed the contest, which was poorly played with Achenbach, Fishburn and Bab bington consistent offenders, the first named retiring in favor of Acorn after five innings. Anderson got olt to a bad start suffering from poor support and wildness and retired in the third af ter forcing in a run, walking three and being hit safely once. Barton, who relieved him was greeted with a fusillade of hits in the fourth and his support crumbled, six runs being scored by the home team. He fared little better in the fifth when three more were regis tered, and for the remainder of the game was hit freely. After the third inning the home team fielded brilliantly behind Bill Ritter, who, with the exception of the eighth held the hostile bats si lent. The other game was between Wil mington and Fore River, the latter losing by a score of 6 to 0. ANOTHER PLAYER BREAKS LEG Detroit, Mich., Aug. 20. Joe Judge, first baseman for the Wash ington Americans, broke his left ankle when he slid Into the plate In the first inning of Saturday's game. He will bfc out of the game for the rest of the season. He was taken to a local hospital. ©Janurvaau SCORES OP YESTERDAY ■—" M National League Cincinnati, 6; New York, 0.
