Hart and Kendall Out of Game
TemporariIy.--Squad

MANNINGToN, Sept. 81. -
Coach Jerry Blake OF the Man
nington High School put the first
ana second teams through a hard
practice session at Blackstone
Park last evening, ending with
fscrimmaging,
Fhe second team put up a game

went through time after time for
st1ye, ten and twenty yards adj
vance. MCGEE, Prichard, Ryan,
Jones obie Rymer and GHmp
Z couldn't be stopped, it seemed,
and every scrimmage sent the
Dali down the field.
When the second team took the
OFFENSIVE they were able to carry
the ball forward for a few ad-
yanees, but the oid-timers were
100 much for them. At least four
men on the second string are
showing up!fn great shape, and It
- thought will make some Of the
nrst string players work to hold
their places,
II Hart was out OF the game yes
terday because OF soreness In the
region OF his kidneys. He re-
eeiyed a blow in his side earlier
IN tn eweek, and 1t Is believed
that this was probably the cause
OF his present unit condition.
Kendall received bad cut in
his foot Monday from a piece OF
glass, and was on the side lines
yesterday unable to play. The lose
OF these men made itself evident
IN the scrimmage last evening,
but theyhwlll not be out long.
Jones and Prlckard, ends, are
given UP to be two OF the best
SHllsround men in the valley, and
he backfield this year is fast.
With another weeks practice the
local eleven will present a for
midable line in the first game
Of the season at Shinnston.
The schedule of games THIS year

CLOSING IN ON
RIVAL H|TTERS
Four Home Runs in Last Four
Days Causes Fans to
Notice Ruth.
By SID MERCER.

Written for Cosmopolitan News Service.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2l.-The fact
that Babe Ruth has made four home
runs in the last three days has
started the boys to wagering on
Bambinos chance to overtake Ken
meth Williams and Clarence Walker
before the end of the season.
Ruth's total Is now twenty-six.
while Williams has thirty.two and
Walker twenty.nine. In the Ma
tional League Hornsby leads with
20, but recently he has not been so
prolific in betting round-trippers.
Ruth believes he will crab the
Williams and Walker" act no later
than Sept. 10. When the Babe Is
hitting, he makes home runs on any
field, so he expects to keep pro-
ducing right up to the end Of the
season, even though the Yankees do
not appear at the Polo Grounds after
September 10.
Williams has hit practically all Of
his home runs in st. Louis. He has
made only one at the Polo Grounds
this year and in parks where right
fields are deeper he seldom tops tim.

ers. Clarence seldom hits to right
field and the Philadelphia left field
is the shortest in the league. How
ever, he can be eliminated right
now, as he leads Ruth by only three
home runs.
When Ruth Is driving the ball, the

to him. Williams, Walker and Horns
