STERLING WINS
FROM dixon IN ,
CAME
(snecial CorresnondenceN

Sterling, Ill, Oct 24.-The Ster-
ling high school football team took
Dixon into camp here Saturday aft
ernoon, 26 to 6, in one of the hard
est fought games of the year. Su-
perior condition, d speedier back
field and a line that was like a
stone wall were responsible for the
victory over the much heavier team
from up the river. Dixon expected
to win this game and had been
bending every effort TO give SteT-
ling a trimming and from the way
the visitors pushed over the first
touchdown of the game in the first
five minutes of play it looked as if
the visitors would be on top at the
finish. The Sterling line showed
up great in this game. The line
was responsible for breaking up
many Dixon plays before they got
underway. Dixon played hard but
their efforts only resulted in keep
ing the Sterling score down. The
biggest crowd of the season watch
ed the locals take their fourth
straight victory.
Sterling kicked off and Dixon pro-
ceeded to take the ball right down
the field and Jones made a for
ward pass to Stackpole who was
behind the Sterling line when he
caught the ball and scored a
touchdown. 1t was a long pass.
Dixon failed to kick goal The quar-
ter ended with the score Dixon 6,
Sterling,-0.
In the second quarter there was
a great deal of punting by both
teams. After failing to gain through
the Dixon line, Gregorious was Civ
Ell the ball and made a 35-yard end
run, and Conrad made 25 yards on
criss cross play. On the fourth
down and four yards to go Gregori-
Gus made an end run and dove over
Dixon's goal for the touchdown
that evened the score. He failed
to kick goal. Before the half end
ed Halderman took the ball over
the line for another touchdown and
goal was kicked Another touch
down was in sight when the whistle
sounded at the half.
At the start of the third quarter
Conrad made an 1S-yard run and
then Gregorious got away for a so
yard run through the field but drop
ped the ball and it rolled behind
the Dixon goal and Elsasser drop
ped on it for another touchdown.
Sterling missed the goal. That end
ed the scoring for the game and
it ended with the score Sterling, &c,

SPORTS -- BARONS TAKE FIRST BY 6 TO SCORE - SPOR
PIRATES GAIN CAME
 LEAD ON THE CLAN

New York, July sl.-The New York Nationals suffered their first double defeat of the season today, just when Manager McGraw saw hope Of going ahead of the Pittsburg league leaders for the first time since June 6. The Giants, who had pounded their way to a joint ownership of first place with the Pirates Saturday, today fell back a game behind their rival when Cincinnati wrested two hard fought contests from them. The Pirates, however are in the midst of their first real slump, due mainly to a falling off in pitching and lack of scoring. Boston, which is five games back of Pittsburg continues the task of trying to catch the leaders. The Braves are not hitting hard, but the pitchers are effective. A double de- feat recently also to the credit of Cincinnati delayed the Braves in their chase.
 Indians Lead Cut
 The Cleveland worlds champions maintain only a two-game lead over New York in the American league race. but the Indians have shown ability to brace when threatened by their Yankee pursuers. Although New York took a ope-sided game from the Champions today after the leaders had outclassed them yester- day, Cleveland is playing the better ball of the two contenders. The In- dian pitching staff appears to be the

 Mir Martin, who witnessed the cc- currence, which came as an after math to the forfeiture of the game to Memphis because of dilatory tac- tics on the part of Little Rock play CTS, issued the following statement in announcing the suspension:
 q have suspended Manager Norman Elberfeld of the Little Rock club for 30 days for his attack on Umpire Dan Pfenninger in todays game at Memphis.
 "The Southern association will not tolerate such conduct. Umpire Pfen- ninger was entirely correct in for feiting the game to Memphis on &C., count of the stalllng tactics prac- ticed by the Little Rock team in the tenth inning.
 Martin Witnesses Act
 'I witnessed the entire occurrence. Umpire Pfenninger gave the Little Rock team ample time to resume play, and a fair warning that the game would be forfeited unless his orders to play ball should be carried out.
 Manager Elberfeld ran out from the bench on to the playing field and made an entirely unjustifiable physi- cal attack on Umpire Pfenninger, so palpably improper that near :iot ensued.
 Tn tho excitement which folio we'd, it was simply good luck and efficient police protection that prevented someone from being seriously hurt.
 Received Complaints
 "I had received repeated com plaints 1rom all over the circuit as to the conduct of Manager Elberseld from season to season, and my leni- ency in penalizing him has been cue to a proper allowance for his tenn peramental disposition, which causes him to unintentionally lose control of himself at times during a ball game. However. the limit of la- tience has been reached, and I am compelled, in the interest of the game, to inflict a severe penalty, with the warning that when his sus-

Special Correspondent or The Age Heral (CopyriEht, 1s2l. by The Age-Herald

Copyright, 1s2l, by The Age-Herald)
 New York, N. Y., July 31.--No op- portunity has yet been afforded to gain an adequate line on the form of British Davis cup team, now work ing into condition for their tie match with the Australians at Pittsburg, but the team looks exceedingly strong on paper. Although Lowe is the only well known veteran tennis quantity on the team, Turnbull and Gilbert have each had experience in interna- tional contests. But the man the ested in is the captain of the Brit .ishers. Max Wnosnam.
 Woosnam fairly leaped into promi- hence in the English tennis world, and many tales of his prowess and brlliance have proceeded him here. It was a disappointment that the Brit ish team did not accept some of the numerous invitions to play in the east after landing here and before going to the Allegheny Country club, where their matches with the Australians are scheduled for August 4, 5, and 6.
 Team In Good Shape
 The English captain explained however, that, while he and his men were in excellent condition .and had stood the voyage well, he felt they should lose no time in getting to Pittsburg and acquainting themselves with the courts there. Since their ar rival in the Smoky City. their practice has been confined largely to play between members of team. and as the A o1v it is unlikely that any indefinite in- dication of the Britishers' strength will be presented to observers prior to the Australian matches.
 The situation of the American play CTS, with relation to defense of the Davis cup, has become more com plicated, although many believe not less encouraging. The complication was infected into the situation by the defeat of Tilden by his erstwhile kpupil, Vincent Richards. That certain ty indicates that America has a worthy contender to step Into the shoes of our erstwhile champion IT it should be necessary.
 Chuck" Garland looked for time as though he would be the younger hope, but somehow the game of the Yale man has stayed about where it was That great opportunity which offeredewhen he apparently had the victory in his hands against Brooks, the wonderful Australian player, seemed to mark the highest point of his career. But Richards Is strong. young and merciless. and will certain ly keep on coming. Meanwhile. let us hope that Bill Johnson has built up a little greater store of flesh to draw up on for that stamina which would come to him with q few more pounds. Tilden Auust Re Careful

tilities arrived in the ninth inning.
 The Barons won the ball game in the second inning. They had already scored in the initial frame on Stew arts first of thre hits, Ponds error and Gooch's single. The Bears, how ever, had tied it in their half when Wheeler's only show of wildness forced runner across when he passed a man with the bases loaded So when the Barons came to bat in the second the game stood even up at 1 and 1. Silva led the frame with a base knock to left field, and on Aliens roller Golvin fumbled. putting two men on.
 Stuffy's Punch
 Brandons attempt to sacrifice was turned into a force out at third when Pope grabbed up the ball and sent it to Mullen ahead of Silva. Wheeler, however, aided very materially in helping his club get some runs as he singled to left. scoring Allen and moving Brandon to third, while he moved to second himself on the throw to the plate Traynor then pinch singled to right, scoring both Allen and Wheeler. Stuffy Stewart here followed with home run blow over the right field wall which really put the game on ice for the Barons'
 That inning marked the end of the scoring for both teams, and though they each had numerous other chances to get runs, Wheeler and Pope frightened up in the pinches ana kept the home plate clean from the second inning through the ninth.
 Floyd Filings Finely
 wheeler was not called on very often, but when he had to pitch he showed a lot of class. For instance, the eBars had him in dangerous hole in the first inning, after his wildness had forced 8 run across the plate. Three were left on with only enc down. However. Wheeler settled to the task and pitched himself cleai of trouble when Wickham raised a tall fly to Stewart. and Pond ended the frame with bounder to the same player on which Stewart made magnificent play.
 Once more in the seventh the Bears had Wheeler in a tight place, but he squirmed out of trouble just as he did in the first inning. A single by Pope, walk to Mullen and Traynor's error on Bronkie's roller filled the bases with one down. The Baron twirler answered roll call once more, however, and came through with flying colors when he struck Nulvey out and closed the inning py forcing Wickham to bounce out to Traynor on an easy hopper.

Memphis, July s1.-Nine and half in- nings of snappy ball playing tactics on the part of the visiting players which Umpire Pfenninger ruled so dilatory as to warrant forfeiture of the game and a row on the field which precipitated when Manager Elberfeld of Little Rock grabbed the umpire by the coat as he was passing the visitors bench, were in cidents of today's game between the Memphis and Little Rock teams
