are made with flaps which are Sc
cured under the rim Of the wheel as
the tire is applied. This is the type
most generally used. Another kind of
inner patch is one which is laced on
or fastened around the tube and pre-
vents any bulge or contact with the
fractured casing. The type Of boot
that is applied on the inside Of the
tire does not prevent the entrance Of
water and sand, and this soon Injuries
the tire further. Strong sections of

the edges are thinned down.
In times Of emergency a towel can

Both previous games have been

The pitching selections for the day
will probably be Elwood for Marshall
ton and Clay for krebs. Elwood twirl-
ed the entire 16 innings last Saturday
and should be in excellent condition
for the coming game. Hayward is in
fine fettle also and may be the Mar
shailton selection for mound duty. Joe
Clay. the tall hurler of the l<rehs out
fit held Marshallton scoreless for
nine innings last Saturday and de-
served great credit for his pitching.
Jack Ruth may switch the cards and
send Dory Collins, winner of the first
game of the series TO the box. Collins
had Marshallton at his mercy, letting
them down with four hits. George

New York leads by slightly more

In the National League the
Giants won, while the Pirates
were being shut out by the

lead is now four full games. To
clinch the pennant. all the
Giants need TO do is to win six
out of their seven games, even
should the Pirates win all their
eleven yet to be played.
IL Pittsburg loses one, the
Giants can clinch the pennant
by winning five. IL the Pirates
lose two. the Giants need win
