II doesn't 90 quite that far. On Sun
day afternoon the Brushers or ALI
stars attempted to stage finish
against the 18th Infantry team at Ath.
Ietic park, but they did not quite
reach that stage, and the crowd from
Schofield, desiring that there should
be a finish, slammed out four runs in
the seventh inning for good measure.
The score was to 2.
For six innings it was battle be.
tween big Jasper and Hefty South.
JASPER was using his fast ball and in
shoot to the dismay of the Aii-Stars,
and in this time the Brushers were
only able to gather three hits off the
Wrecker pitcher. South also was us
ing a fast one in close, and his drop
hall had the Wreckers guessing for a
period. but he used it much too often
and the boys from the hills get to him
in the seventh for four tallies and the
game was over.

For the second time in two years
the Boston Red Sox are pennant vim

Cleveland the Chicago White Sox
lost whatever chance they had for the
pennant yesterday afternoon. While

kept his team in the first division by

has a chance If they can defeat the
Senators,
Bill Ckrrigan took his team OF fight
ers down the stretch playing great
bali. and despite the loss of Speaker
proved that they had the punch. 1t
was great race, and Carrigan de-
serves all the credit for winning pen
nant with Jack Barry out of the lineup.
In the National League it will be a
grand fight for the flag between the
Brooklyn and Philadelphia teams, and
the Dodgers may find hard row to
hoe in meeting the Giants who won
26 straight games before losing to the
Braves on Saturday. Philadelphia
meets Boston and this series should
be another hard-fought one.

From Satisfax in l:43

II TIE grand council Of poloists had

the Kauai team came from behinu
in the greatest finish Of the year.
and defeated the Army polo team ~

The two teams were drawing the
curtain on polo fos the year. anu
they saved the best act for the last.
II was a climax. q thrill and a sen.
sation heaped into one. Z lasted
for about three minutes and 81 sec
onds, and in this time the Schofield
riders saw victory perched on ped
estal suddenly changed to bitter de-
feat. It was hard game to lose and
great one to win.
Kauai Finishes Strong
Kauai won the match by taking
advantage of every opportunity IN
the last period. They played pUlo

The players and tie fans want to

to hang on, the grand old game will
still be with us next year. Every seat
in the first base bleachers was filled.
and large crowd turned out in the
grandstand.
Lynch Hits Homer
1t looked good for the All-Stars in
the first inning when Lynch, the Sec
ond man up, sent one over the garden
wall for a homer, but two walks and
a single by Smith gave the Wreckers
two runs in the first, and they kept
the lead throughout. Singles by Cui
lens and Swinton gave the Wreckers
one run in the third, but they failed
to score, and it looked like a chance
for the BrusheTs.
The last chance for the Shafterites
occurred in the seventh when Johnson
and Estelle singled, and Armstrong hit
a fast one down to short, but Smith
made nice play of it, and caught
johnson. jackson also hit down the
third base line, but Moore shot the
ball to Hawkins a foot ahead of Jack
sou. That was the last chance for
the Brushers.
Rogan at>Second

hit to Kersettec by a stride. Then
Johnson came up with the big hit OF
the day. and Goliah singled, Moore

brushed.
