PAWNEES OR ANNEX, WHICH?
Local Teams Decide Championship in Hardware City League Tomorrow at Walnut Hill Park.

A The baseball classic in local circles
 zwhll be staged at Walnut Hill park to-
 morrow afternoon, when the Annex Mand the Pawnees will clash in the Ngame to decide the city championship Mfor the 1916 season, and the hand #some cup offered by the public Ram usement commission for the win- #ner of the pennant in the Hardware #City league. Past performances by &both teams show them to be evenly #mached, and a fast battle is the fore cast. Both teams have @ large fol- Flowing, the Pawnees representing the south end of the city and the Annex the east side, Loyal rooters for both clubs will be on hand in an ab1nd- ance tomorrow to cheer for their H pets.
 8 While the Annex seems~to have the edge on their opponents, there are N many who are looking for an upset in the "dope'' when the ump calls "Play baTf' tomorrow. At the outset of the season the Pawnees did not look very formidable, but during the fight for the honors in the H. c. league they have put up 8 clean, ag- gressive fight for the pennant. Two of the best bets in the pitching line will no doubt be trotted out to
 
 oppose each other tomorrow in the person of Jimmy Chalmers for the Pawnees and Tommy Blanchard for 8 the Annex. Both boys are finished @ workmen at their baseball line, and @ many are looking forth for a battle of # boxmen.
 A tie which exists for third place s will also be dissolved tomorrow when # the AIpines mingle with the Rangers VI To the latter team much praise must be extended for making the race the close finish that exists. The Rangers at the outset were handicapped by Inferior pitching, but the securing of Hinchliffe tmbued new life and "pep' Into the boys and the Pawnees and Annex were easy victims. It is the opinion of many of the attendants al the games that the Rangers stand to- day, with their present lineup, as one of the best semi-pro teams in the city Hinchliffe will work for the Rangers and Campbell for the Al pines.

TIGERS COME BACK
 AND CLAW TANKS
Jennings Team on Long End Of
 Rather Slow Contest

New York, Sept. 1.-Up at the Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon, Tyrus Cobb, Sam Crawford and Hughey Jen- nings fixed up the gosh blamed old ball game, so that Detroit won by score of ' to 3. All the fashy plays in the pastime were contributed by the best of the Tiger performers, and the sum and substance of the whole affair is that Detroit played a smarter baseball game than the Tanks.
 It was rather dull sort of a soree, with very little enthusiasm, very little emotion. The crowd present would hibition convention. But what they saw they liked. Ty Cobb stole second once, but every one had a great, big laugh when he tried to steal third and was tagged out by the peppery young Fritz Maisel, who has lately come back from the trenches. In the second inning, Bob Veach was hit bv a pitched ball. Sam Crawford forced him at second and Burns was out, third to first. Pep Young slammed double to right field, scoring Crawford, which put the Jungaleers In the lead. The score:
 Detroit ..... O14O2O0OO-7 8 0
 Batteries: Mitchell and Mckee; Russell, Mogridge, Love and Alexan- der.

Even Ty MoryelS.

T have been in some great Ameri- can league races the last eleven years" says Ty Cobb but never in anything like this one before. In most of those other close races you could figure on one or two rivals by September Now, no matter which way you turn, there is a. possible pen nant winner at your elbow, taking a Wallop at your head. I don't believe there ever has been anything like 1t in baseball. Here, with five months of the schedule over, there are still six clubs less than seven or eight games apart, and five of the six are less than three games apart. This means a test race, where the best
 fighting club will win--I mean by that the club that can face tough compe- tltion day after day without a rest Before this there have always been mum Der of weak spots in which to get new start, but there are no rest ing places now. Which," concluded Ey, Is one reasG I figure Detroit With a strong chance, for I know we
 can stand up under the fire"

 East and the West at Forest Hills" writes H. G. K, "where does Kumagae s1and?' Between the two trenches, absorbing the fire of both.

White vs. Welsh.

There Is no vast amount of differ ence to be distributed among Charley White, Benny Leonard and Johnny Dundee. One is about as capable as the other two in a test battle with Welsh. So it stands that if Freddie of Wales can trim White decsively ever the twety-round drive, there can be little question as to his continued supremacy.
 White is not only a hard hitter, but an experienced boxer. For ten rounds he is pretty sure to run second. But his best chance comes in the last eight rounds, where Welsh is likely to slow up more than a bit unless he carries more ruggedness in his system than we think he happens to have. On the dope the melee looks about as even a proposition as we have seen in some time.

I decided one day With hip and hOoray That the time had arrived for my
 summer vacation: X rest from the strife And the struggle of life The cares and the worries and daily
 stagnation; I decided I needed one, Needed one bad, My nerves were a-quiver, And worse still, egad My stomach and liver And functions of heart Were all out of whack And not doing their part Until I began to feel certain that I Was a wreck of a fellow and sure to
 die. Weak and limp in my chair With my hands in my hair I felt worse and worse as I pondered
 about it; I grew all a-shake With my head on the ache, I needed the rest-there was nothing
 to doubt it; I decided I shouldn't delay for a day. And early next morning I'd be on my
 way, Before my digestion and pulses and
 brain Were all in wreck from the worry
 and strain For I saw that my finish was figured
 out pat Unless I departed, and quickly at that And then I began As the average man To plan out the details that called for
 inspection And brief was the job With the thrill and the throb, 1 Of the dream I had dreamt in my
 deepest dejection; Though I knew that I needed one needed one bad That my pulse was a-quiver, and worse still, egad My stomach and liver and functions of heart Were all out of whack and not doing their part, I discovered I'd neither the time nor the dough, Nor summer resort where I wanted to go- So I didn't.

Going into the ninth with the score to 1 in favor of the Pieper crowd and not a sign of a blow any where near the delivery of young "Steve'' Jewett, the local athletes bnged and banged their way to vic- tory. It was the greatest finish of the season at the park, and the fans who went away with tears in their eyes at the end of the first half of the ninth have truly something to mourn for It was a great inning.
