CINCINNATI, Ohio, Sept. 20.-Jimmy

to-day when the Dodgers beat the Reds

utu nothing startling.
Mamaux walked Smith. the first man

Smith took third and Daubert second

Ring did not allow hit until the
fourth, when he walked Myers. Then
Schmandt followed with a double.
Baird came through with a sacrifice,
scoring Myers.

Johnston scored him. Griffith then
lined into a double play.
Luque pitched the ninth for the
Reds.
Griffith, See and Duncan in the out
field featured with good catches. Sees
catch on Hickman in the fourth
inning, was the star fielding feature
of the day. Only one error, that by
Kopf, marred the play. The game was
played in less than an hour and a half.
After the first inning Mamaux was a
complete puzzle to the Reds, who
threatened in the eighth, but were easy
in the Anal frame. Bases on balls fig
Lred prominently in the scoring. The
Reds only scoring started with a walk
and one of the Dodgers runs also was

Old Record.
MAY SET NEW FIGURES

Babe Ruth, the sensational batsman
of the Boston Red Sox. who has been
clouting the ball for circuit drives with
the greatest industry, yesterday in a
game at Boston with the Chicago White
SoX scored his twenty-seventh homer of
the season, and thus equalled the record
made by Ed Williamson Of Chicago in
1884 Although Williamson, the famous
shortstop of Anson's White Sox. has
been dead many years, his feat of max
ing twenty-seven home runs in a season
has stood unchalenged for thirty-five
years
Now that Ruth has equalled the
record of the great Chicagoan, there is
small doubt that before the season of
1919 comes to a close the giant Bos-
tonian will eclipse the performance of
Williamson in 1884. He almost bet
tered the mark in yesterdays second
game.
When Ruth started his home run
campaign last spring he was confronted
by three records to surmount. The first
obstacle was the American League rec
ord of sixteen homers made by Socks
Seybold of the Athletics In 1902. Ruth
equalled that record on July 90. when
In a game in Detroit he hit his old team
mate, Dutch Leonard, for a four baser.
Ruth eclipsed the Seybold figures on
August IA In Chicago, Kerr being the
victim of the Bostonian's seventeenth
homer.
Ruth then set sail for the record Of
twenty-five homers- made by Buck Free

Long Jim Barnes of Sunset Hills took
another years lease of the Professional
Golfers Association championship yes
terday afternoon. In the final round of
the contest for the title he dropped
Freddy Mcleod of the Columbia Coun-
try Club. and 8, in thirty-one holes of
play.
Barnes owes his victory to his
steady, consistent play in the second
nine holes OF the morning round, when
he caught Mcleod staggering. 1t was
his cue and he stepped to the front
boldly. or these nine, Barnes won seven
and halved another. N was quite re-
versal from the first nine, where he had
turned a 38 only to find himself one
down.
1t required no brilliant work for
Barnes TO score these wins except in
one or two instances Mcleod was
lacking something at each hole to keep
him on even terms with his lanky OPP
ponent. Here a poor tee shot handed
him too heavy a handicap. There
short second left him playing the odd,
and anon a missed putt at short range
proved his undoing.
AS a result OF Barnes's steady climb
on the second nine. he stood up on the
first eighteen holes. He trailed by one
through the ninth, then lost the tenth.
But he rallied there, took the next five
in a row, halved the sixteenth and won
the last two.
Barnes Leads by d Up.
Spotting the lanky Cornishman a
1--WE hole lead for the second eighteen
appealed as too big a handicap TO the
gallery, and the enormity of the assign
ment by no means escaped Mcleod. lie
realized that nothing less than an al
most superhuman display of golf could
bring him home on the winning end.
However, the gallery spectators lost
none of their enthusiasm as the two got
under way. Further than contest, they
were out to see an exhibition of how the
game should be played. AS usual with
crowds It was looking for the bizarre
and the sensational. In this detail a:
least Il was rewarded.
Tales OF long puts holed to win
matches and OF chip shots from off the
green settling into the cup arc not un-
common. But 1t Is quite an experience
to witness such happenings in a final
round for a championship.
1t was Mcleod who dug the ball out OF
the high grass and sunk II for a win
when his chance looked worse than
hundred to one shot Ii was Barnes
who ran down a thirty foot putt from
the edge OF the green TO win the thir-
tenth hole and end the match.

Although Lucullite has scored several
brilliant victories this season none of
his races were at more than a 49,. For
that reason there was doubt as to
whether he could travel the extra fur
long and carry his great speed with
such heavy weight. He was made the
favorite nevertheless but the good odds
Of 10 to 10 were obtainable against him.
Star Master was a close second choice
and Corn Tassel a heavily backed out
slider.
Mars Cassidy sent the trio away en-
even strides and then followed one Of the
prettiest sprints of the season. The
three great racers ran stride for stride
up the backstretch for quarter of n
mile without either gaining foot But
at that point Lucullite began to draw
away and he went around the first turn
a length and a half in front of Star
Master which was half a length ahead
Of Mr.. Wilson's entry. While rounding
the bend Fator gave Lucullite n little
more rein and in a few strides Mr.
Hildreth's colt was three | enghts in
front and fighting to go faster.
Entering the homestretch Corn Tassel
and Star Master challenged but their
efforts went for naught Luculllte had
plenty of speed in reserve and a whole
lot of stamina and he stepped down to
the judges to the easiest kind of VIC
tory,
The crowd appreciated his great race
and gave him round after round OF
applause.

Ehmke Pitches for Tigers.

Howard Ehmke, the long, lean lad
from the Pacific coast, pitched for the
Tigers, and the Yanks prodded him hard.
Not only was Ehmke ineffective but he
also was wild, handing out six bases
on balls. The Yankees got to him for
eleven hits and the home lads actually
overlooked a lot of scoring chances.
They had a full dozen men left on the
bases.
The fielding gem OF the day was a
catch by Baker of Ainsmith's hot liner
in the third. Baker never made bet
ter play during his career with the
Yanks. Baker mad to make a side leap
for the ball, and he got It on his meat
