III winston takes todays contest II
will be only half a game behind which
ever team cops Monday. The title
race among these three teams is one
or the most tense in the history OF
local Independent baseball.
Has Star Players.
Garfield only recently attracted at.
tention as a strong contender for the
Section c championship. Little was
heard OF the club this season prior to
the series, although the team has beer
organized for three years. Most OF the
players reside IN the section conferred
by Garfield Park in southeast.
In the Garfield lineup are a num-
Der of players whose names are ia
miliar to all sandlot fans. Goolie Gil
rardl, who was a star several years
ago on the Business High School team.
Is playing short for Garfield. Girardi
Is one Of the finest defensive players
in the series. He is a brilliant thrower.
Unlike Girardi. Harold Sill, playing
third, Is not particularly skilled with
his whip, but Is an unusually good
fielder and a strong hitter. Forden
Dyer, who first drew attention some
years ago as a crack performer IN
varied capacities for Eastern High,
Is at first for Garfield. Worden used
TO be slugger but now his fielding
ability seems to be overshadowing his
rep as a sticker.
Makes Record.
Mouse Roche, in left field. is a for.
mer captain of the Mt. St. Mary's
College nine. Roche's teammates de-
clare him to be as classy an outfielder
as there Is in the series. Mouse holds
record for Mt. st. Mary's in having
made nine running. put-outs In game
with the Baltimore Drydock team.
Yohe Murray, one of the organizers
of the Garfield club, has been a steady
and heady performer for the team for
three years. Murray's speed enables
him to play a short centerfield. and
he has cut down many a, hit and
stopped many a run for the opposition.
Going back for 'em is his forte.
Griffith. batting in the cleanup
position. was a leading performer for
the Camp Dix team during the war.
In a game with the Winstons the other
day, Griffith cracked out a double that
sent two runners over, and would
have won the game but for a loose
third base which the runners failed
to touch
o. Youngster At Second -
wv. Browning, a real youngster, is
at second for Garfield, and plays a
steady game. He has just turned
seventeen. Browning played with
Western High.
T. Meaney. the Carl Bid catcher, is
one of those receivers, who knows
how to keep a team pulling together.
Meaney's headwork makes him val.
ued asset of the club.
Earl Harron; Skilley Hilton and w.
N Averill are the pitchers. Hilton
was a member of the Capital City
Professionals who started on tour
of the country, but hitl the rocks in
Carolina. Harron is also business
manager. Pete Haley. a hustler from
the word go. is field manager of the
Garfields.

Playing almost flawless golf
throughout four days OF competition

the lead Of Bobby Jones, the youthful

Youngstown pro.
Hagen's four rounds OF II, 70, "a

over par for the seventy-two holes.
He did not have a 6 or on any of
his cards, and only fifteen holes in

holes to make up for poor work
since he scored only one 2.
French, who finished third, had a
bad round In the morning, when he
took rs, the wind causing him much
trouble with his long game, while
his usual dexterity on the green's was
lacking. He was unable TO cut off

strokes in the afternoon and pro-
duced a rs.
Game Goes to Pieces.
Jones, who dropped to tie with
Joe Kirkwood, the Australian, for
fourth place, played horrible golf in
the morning, when he had an SO. His
short iron play, usually accurate,
was badly bothered by the cross
winds, and on most holes requiring
such shots he was frequently either
too short or else over the green.
Bob Mac fonald had the only other
score under 800 when he concluded
his work with 299.
Jim Barnes, the national open
champion, was the big disappoint
ment of the tournament. Off to a
bad starat in his putting on the first
round. the tall Cornishman never
solved the mystery of the greens, and
wound up with a score Of 304.
The winning score was above

Ty Cobb, manager of the

ant Carfolite to qualify Thomas
Crooke as first baseman. Crooke,
while a member of the Navy Yard,
has spent the summer smpiring In

contests transferred to Union League
Park No action was taken on the
question which will be brought up
later.
