Unfortunate.

How often our most innocent speech
es gang agley." leaving us with no re-
source but that Of making the best of
bad matter!
A certain Scotch minister is wont TO
relate how, having been out all day
visiting, he called on an cid dame we'll
known for her kindness and hospital
ity.
After some conversation she got
out her best china and whatever deli
cacies were at hand. to honor her unex-
pected guest. AS he sat watching the
preparations. his eye suddenly fell on
four or five cats devouring some cold
porridge under the table
Dear me, Miss Black" he observed,
what number Of cats. Do they all
belong to you?
ma, ma, sir" was the innocent reply
but mony time say that a the hun
cry brutes in the parish come to me,
seeking a meal o. meat"
Then the good woman bethought her,
and in her embarrassment dropped a
tea-cup.

easily. Therefore. if Zach had held the ball. the side would have been retired. But Zach didn't-and the side wasn't out. Fournier went to the plate and drew three balls. at which point hostilities ceased because of a young .cloudburst which finally caused the Tumpires to call off the game.
 1nasmucn as four and a half fn- nings had not been played, it was de- clared no contest. If Wheat had held the flyA it would have been an of ficial game, because put-out on Schultz would have retired the Cards and made the score 3 to 1 in favor of Brooklyn when the rain came down.
 Started As Pop Boy
 Charlie Grimm, one of the big fac tors in the great pennant battle the Pirates have waged, was once soda nop boy in the ball park of the Cardi- nals.
 Grimm, through the medium of his job became acquainted with the play CTS. After he grew out of his earliest teens they permitted him to play around with them during morning pratice. Grimm got more pratiee playing with amateurs and semi pros in his home town.
 Eventually he developed to point where the Cardinal owners decided to give him chance to show what he could do in big league harness. He disported to the best of his ability. But he showed lack of seasoning. 50 he was shipped to Little Rock, Ark developed there-and then was grab bed by the Pirates to fill the first passing job.
 He's succeeded in remarkable fash lion

In plunked on the plush in one, while Buck was of bunk erish persuasion, and just missed the krolls to the left of the green. Litt-s Dock was in the saucer in one, on the edge of the cup in two and sank it for a three, while Harris took a four Brownlee was three down again.
 They was both on in three on num- Der thirteen. which is supposed to be a unlIcky number, but each took couple of putts and they halved 1t.
 Little Dock still had the honor and he developed sudden tendency to top en, when they reached four teen tee. Looks like number 14 is Bucks 1uck-piece, for it was on this same spot where Files Crenshaw, for mer state champion. blew up Satur- day. Files went out of bounds on his second Friday but Little Dock didn't have chance to go out of bounds on his first The ball was topped and it never reached the short grass of the fairway. Harris was on in two took four to Brownlee's five and Little Dock was four down again I will say, though, thatsBrownlee made nice recovery after he had foozled his drive.

Richards Fine Tennis IS
 Big Factor in Victory Of
 TLden- Richards Net Tean,
Junior Champs Great Work Causes Downfall of John-
 Ston and WaShburn

Boston, August 27--William T Tilden, 2d, and Vincent Richards to- day regained the national double, lawn tennis championship In q match marked by super tennis, es. pecially on tho part of the youthful Richards They defeated the eastern doubles champions, R Norris Will Hams 2d., and w. M washburn. in straight sets. The scores were 13-11, l2-10. 6-1
 The opening set was marked by a varying strategy on the part of the former national champions. First by drives and then by lobs. they sought to break down the team play of their opponents. Lobs went against them as often as with them, however, and they resorted to hard hitting in the pinches. Games went with servi ee without break until the 24th game when Tilden's placements upset Washburn's delivery and the deci- sive points were scored
 Second Set
 In the second set, which T11den and Richards won, 12-10. service carried the games up to five all. There Will Hams and Washburn. broke through Richards service only to have Til- dSH anu NlChdfQS tNtu lne Issue on Washburn's succeeding service. It was Richards who was getting in the counting strokes. Tennis that fairly sparkled, marked the succeeding Esfmes which went with service. V Tilden gained the advantage when ihey won the 21st game with a sery- ice ace and the former cham spions clinched the set when they 3broke Williams service wide open faA low .,-,, a to Tilden and Richards in quicker time, largely due to the inspired play of Richards. He sent shot after shot across the net for placements after seemingly impossible gets, and with occasional points by his champion partner, ran out the set and match.
 Tilden and Richards defeated Wil- Hams service in the fourth game after the first three had followed his service good for the fourth game and upset Washburns service for the fifth. Tilden's service for the game that won the match went without point by Williams and washburn.
 Mixed Doubles
 The national mixed doubles title went west. Miss Mary K. Browne and William M. Johnston defeating William T. Tilden and Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory The scores: s-s. GA, 6-3
 Miss Mary K. Browne of Los Am geles defeated Mrs May sutton Bundy of San Francisco, in the final round of the invitation woman's sim gles tournament, 6-2, S-6 6-S.

Dr.. A. B. Harris Defeats Bro1v111ee For Sta
"Duster" Mails Not Coming Through In Fashion Ex- pected of Him-BasebaII Gossip
z By JAMES J. ooRBETT

| The Ieft-handed pitcher, regarded as the most important cog in base ball machine. is rapidly disappear ling.
 l It is unnecessary to use more than one hand to total the southpaws in the sport today who are really great
 in their particular line. And some of them are fading so rapidly that they may be out of the big leagues before another season rolls around. f Illee, once the greatest portside fingers, is about through. He has 1 pitched in only indifferent fashion for the Giants this year and it is question as to whether he will be 1 with the outfit in 1922. The same thing goes for Benton, another vete- ran, who is long beyond his prime. Mails Wobbiing Big Jim" Vaughn is out of the game now, and Tyler, his old mate with the Cubs wobbled so badly that he was released internationally. "Duster' Mails flashed brilliantly for l Cleveland at the end of 1920, but has been very cratic this year, Marquard | is still doing fair work, but the "Rube" Is well along in baseball years.
 | Cooper, the Pirate veteran, Is still
 going good-but he has lived long time in the big leagues and is due to pass along very soon. Reuther is Ian -and-outer this year and
 Mitchell is another who Is slipping speedily.
 1 Nehf is still great performer and
 is perhaps the best southpaw in the National league. Ranking next to him--and the only man who seems close--is little Dickfe Kerr of the
 White Sox. If those two were elimi-
 mated, it would leave the big leagues without left of worth who could be regarded as fixture for few
 more years in Dig time"
 | Zach Caused It
 | This is the story of an error which
 nulled a pitchers victory, killed off
 win for that club, robbed one play
 CT of a homer, another of double
 and third of triple.
 Zach Wheat one the surest out
 fielders in the game, is the culprit.
 The clash between the Cardinals and Dodgers had gone four full in-
 nings. During that time Jimmy
 Johnston has made a four-bagger,
 Bernie Neis had blown himself to a
 whistling triple and Fly Myers was
 possessed of a two-bagger. Likewise.
