ST. HEDWIG TO PLAY
OFF WITH DEFIANCE

st. Hedwig and Defiance are
scheduled to play off one OF their
post-season games in the City League
tonight. An effort is being made
to stage the game at the Second
and DUPONT grounds, but II unsuc-
cessful. the contest will be played at
the Military Grounds, Linden and
Clayton streets.
Either Eddie Hanover who has re-
turned to the Bulldogs, after an en-
forced idleness, or Givens will do
the box work for the Tenth Warders.
It is likely that Bill Hawks will do
mound duty for the Saints.
An effort will be made to start the
game promptly at els o'clock. so
that a regular game can be played
without hindrance by darkness.
Freddy Clarke, the diminutive
young Defiance hurier. is probably
the biggest idol just now of the 10th
Ward followers. Clarke is making
a game effort 10 put the Bulldogs
back in the running for the second
half City League pennant. and his
holding Of the Seventh Ward team
to two hits Saturday is an example
OF his efforts.
Defiance boasted OF one OF the
strongest pitching stats in the city
at the beginning OF the first half
with Clarke, Kerrigan and Eddie
Donovan lined up for turns at mound
duty work. However. this combina-
tion broke up after Donovan had
to take an enforced absence owing
to his business duties. Then Kerri-
gan. after pitching several excellent
games for the Bulldogs, has failed
20 put in his appearance during the
past several games for unknown
reasons, which left the brunt of the
burden on the shoulders of Clarke.
However. the little twirler did not
lay a word and has turned in three

EXTRA HOLES TO
DECIDE MATCH
Douglas and Friel Defeat
Skelly and Gallagher on
City Links
ALL SQUARE AT 18,
THEY GO FOUR MORE

The usual large Sunday crowd at
the Municipal Golf Course. augment
ed somewhat by the excellent wealth
er conditions, was treated to some
brilliant golf yesterday brought out
by a close contest in a special four
some match. Alex Douglas, the pro
OF the course. and Francis Friel op-
posed James Skelly, pro at the Will
mington Country Club, and Paul
Gallagher.
1t required four extra holes to
decide the match with Douglas and
Friel the victors. the contest being
all square at the eighteenth hole.
Deadlocked there it was agreed 70
contestants found themselves all
square again. Another extra hole
was decided upon and the Douglas
Friel combination came through.
A large gallery followed the four
some around the course and the
nerve displayed with the going
close at all times drew many a word
of praise from the spectators. Skelly
and Gallagher led going out, being
two up on the first nine holes.
An idea of the excellent golf pro-
vided can be gathered from the
cards turned in by the contestants.
Gallagher performed brilliantly on
the first round. going out in 35 but
he dropped behind on the return
round when he could do no better
than 40. He required IS strokes in
the four extra holes.
Douglas was the steajiest OF the
quartet. going out in 81 and return
ing in S5, his play on the last nine
holes being largely responsible for
evening the match. He shot the four
extras in 16. His team mate Friel
went out in 40 and came in with !
a 81. He evened Douglas score on |
the extra holes.
Skelly started out with a SO but |
required 40 on the second round
He did the four supplementary holes

YANKS, GIANTS
AS BEST BETS
With Ruth Hitting, N. Y
Americans Going Strong
for Top Honor
THREE CLUBS CROWD
McGRAW MEN CLOSE
BY HENRY Il. FARRELL,
U. p. SAD corresnondent,


NEW YORK. Aug. 21=With both
the Yanks and the Giants back on
their feet and in first place again, II
begins to looks as IL the New York
athletes might do the entertaining
again this fall in the worlds series.
The Yanks, in a two club race,
look to be better prospects at the
present time than the Giants. who
have three clubs right on their heels.
Babe Ruth has found his eye and
when the swat king is working the
Yanks get there. Huggins is get
ting his pitchers around in shape and
he has plenty of them.
The Yanks played the best ball IN
the league last week. winning four
out of six games. The Browns had
a heavy week an9 succeeded in get
ting an even split in ten games. De-
troit hit a snag and dropped four out
of seven games. The White Sox
which threatened for several weeks
dropped five out of eight games and
looked to fade from the picture.
The Yanks have a harder finish
to make than the Browns because
the schedule puts Huggins up against
the necessity of whipping all the
better clubs while the Browns will
finish on the second division teams.
The Yanks also have to finish on the
road but they made such a good
showing on their last trip that trav-
cling does not look like a big handi-
cap TO them.
New York. Pittsburgh. ST. Louis,
Chicago and Cincinnati all have a
chance to win the National League
pennant. They have all taken their
turn in looking like the dark horses
and right now the Cubs are making
great bid. The hitting of Grimes,
Hollocher and Miller and good pitch
ing from a fine buch of young hurl-
ers are keeping the Cubs in the race.
Chicago won seven out OF eight
games last week. while the Card
inals and the Pirates were cracking.
The Cards dropped FIVE out of six
games and the Pirates lost six out of
eight games. Cincinnati breezed
along winning four out of five games
and closing in on the leaders.
Pat Moran says he could win the
pennant with some good pitching
and the same problem applies to the
other contenders. The chances Of
the Giants who won four of their six
games last week depend entirely on
what McGraw gets out of his
pitchers.

Another very interesting phenom-
