Peace Not in Sight.

For the soft coal fields no set
tlement was in sight for any field,
although both northern West Vir-
ginia and Illinois union officials
were to hold wage negotiations
with operators. only a change of
the unions policy might permit a
settlement, and the union men
here asserted that they would not
begin a retreat before beginning
their fight. However, some un-
ions were doubtful that the soft
coal fields outside the central
competitive field and the south
western district would be able to
maintain an indefinite suspen-
sion.
Operators here declared they
were ready for long cessation of

New York Sets World Mark
on Baseball Flag Monopoly
2 Teams Repeat 1921 Wins
First Time in Game s History Any City Has Had
Both Pennant Winners on Two Years
in Succession.

New York, Sept. With New
York's two clubs wearing the diamond
crowns for the second year in success
sion-the first time in baseball history
that one city has held such a monop-
oily on pennants-the American and
National leagues Sunday closed the
1922 campaigns, among the most keen
ly fought and nerve racking in the
annals of the game. The Giants and
Yanks will renew their worlds series
rivalry in the opening game Wednes-
day.
For the Yanks, victory came by the
narrowest of margins. by a single
game, and after a tense, brilliantly
played battle with the st. Louis club
throughout the season. Handicapped
at the start by the absence of two
smuggling stars, Ruth and Meusel, the
Yanks forged ahead by the aid of bril-
liant pitching and, in the final analysis.
it was this superiority on the mound:
plus ability to play at top notch in
critical moments, that gave the Hug
men an edge over the hard hitting, ag-
gressive Browns.
Browns Win Three Straight

Yanks. after losing three straight to
Cleveland and Boston, rallied to down
the Red Sox. New York, however
lost Sunday to Washington. while the
Browns, who came down the stretch
with a rush after apparently being
eliminated in the last series with New
York, closed with their third straight
victory over Chicago. The results
narrowed the percentage differences
to but six points, New York showing a
record of "a won and 60 lost, while the
Browns won 90 and lost 81.
The Giants, conceded practically a
runaway victory in preseason calcula-
tons, finished with the decisive mar
gin of seven games over Cincinnati
which displaced Pittsburgh Sunday
But it was no easy road to triumph.
Handicapped early in the season by
injuries that forced Heinie Groh from
the lineup and a gap in center field
that remained untitled until the vet
eran Casey Stengel jumped into the
breach. the champions also overcome
the collapse of their pitching staff by
hard hitting, quick thinking and spec
tacular defensive work in the final
drive. The detection of Phil Douglas
who was banished from the game after
offering to quit the team for a consid
Grafton, and the failure of Nehf and
Barnes to maintain winning form
were partially offset by the acquisition
of Scott and McQuiliaD.
Noteworthy this season was the
strength shown in both league by the
western clubs. Outside of the PEN
nant winters, all ofthe first-division
berths in both circuits were occupied
by western outfits. and it was from
these rivals that the two champions
encountered their %stiffest opposition
throughout the season. =.

With the ball in your possession
third down, opponents 2O-yard line,
the situation varies but little from that
given in the previous article. 1t is
quite evident, however, that your at
tack lacks power to gain. II you need
n touchdown to tie or win. try for 1t
by the pass route. A kick formation
will carry no threat here, as the opp0-
sition would worry if you do happen to
score a goal. That will neither tie nor
defeat them. If a goal from field will
win or tie, the play here should be di-
rected in such a name as to leave the
ball directly in front of the goal posts
in order t. improve the chance of the
goal being kicked. Kicking goals from
scrimmage from one side of the field
or the other is most difficult because
of two points: First. the angle makes
the opening narrow. Second, this same
angle gives the defense q better oppor-
tunity to block the kick. The field
goal is given full protection only when
kicked over the center of the line
When the ball has to carry over n
end or the other of the scrimmage line,
an opponent usually gets through and
either hurries the kicker or blocks the
kick.

gate in a fight of that sort just now
to offer much money.
AS for Skis getting away with some
of the American fighters named above,
this may be regarded as questionable.
For instance. Sikh fought Paul jour
nee some months ago and while the
negro got the decision, Paul stuck 10
rounds and walloped his rival good
and plenty. Yet Charles Weinert, who
is only a fair heavyweight. put Jour
nee away in jig time in Brooklyn when
he was over here as Carpenters
sparring partner.
Not Sold on Sikh
In fact. in all his fights Sikh has had
nothing 70 prove that he has a crash
ing fist until he hammered Carpenter
to the floor. So all in all. the Amer
lean promoters are not altogether sold
upon Sikh and while they would make
it interesting financially were he TO
come here, they won't strip their bank
rolls to pay him for his services.
The best heavyweight prospect, in
terms of a championship contender. is
Luis Firpo, who fights Jim Tracy. the
Australian. in South America early
next month. OF course. this Tracy
business is a joke. Tracy is not likely
to have a chance with the Argentine
Italian. The chief purpose of,the bout
will be to make a lot of money for
Firpo, some money for Tracy and to
send the South American carousing
under the influence of mingled doses
of patriotism and sporting enthusiasm.
Just the same, Firpo. too, looks
good and when he comes here this win
ter and proves himself against two or
three good second ~raters, his chance
at the worlds title will come.

New York, Oct. 1.-Battl1ng SKI S
defeat of Carpenter brought the heavy
weight situation into focus n since
the fatal word came from Paris. II
has been the chief object of every fans
attention. Sikh has accepted Tex KICK
ards terms to fight any light heavy
weight the promoter may select not
later than November 80. The Sene-
gaiese battler is expected to arrive by
November | to complete arrangements
and begin training, if his normal course
of preparation for battle can be called
training.
The New York boxing commission,
however. Immediately narrowed down
the choice of opponents which Rlckard
NAV select TO oppose the new pugilistic
sensation in this city.
Sikh. the commission ruled, must
fight Kid Norfolk before he can be
matched against Jack Dempsey. Harry
Wills or any other American contender.
Must Make Reputation
Even if it were not for the ruling
of the commission. a Dempsey fight
for Ski just yet is out of the question.
Jack Kearns, who with his customary
business instinct was not long in get
llnE on I0p tdult dltCt NC a hNutN
of Skis victory, has made it clear to
the ~negro's manager that the only way
a bout of that sort could be brought
about would be for Sikh to build him
self up into a money producing con-
tender.
1t is perfectly clear, even to the
partisans of Sikh. that n victory over
Carpenter, who in the past six months
has been doing pretty nearly all of his
fighting with n tin sword in front of a
movie camera and besides took the
Sikh fight as a joke, has not earned the
~Senegalese a place in Dempsey's class.
Not ever by beating Carpenter again
could he carr such distinction. But
by plastering Harry Greb and Kid Nor
folk, or Tommy Gibbons or Billy Miske
any two of them-he would so answer
upon cable wings right up into the par
ticular set. So in all probability this
will be Skis program.
What he would like to do, of course,
would be to jump right into the ring
against Dempsey and make enough
money out of hat one fight. win or
lose, to retire to Timbucktoo and live
