I RAARREILA

Hal Chase, basebairs greatest
first baseman. Is now working ten
hours a day stacking lumber in a
yard in san Jose. Cal. for a salary
OF 81 a day. according to reports
from tho coast. Chase mightlnow be
working for five times that much an
hour. II he had acted differently.
Phil Douglas isn't working az all.
over night the complexion OF the
American League pennant race has
been changed by the injury OF
George Sisler. the main spring OF the
St. Louis Browns.
Sisler has a sprained muscle IN his
shoulder and Il responds very
slowly TO treatment. II he IS out for
the rest OF the season his absence
will place a tremendous handicap on
the Browns as he was tho best bat
ter, base runner and run scorer IN
the league.
Baby Doll jacobson has done fair
ly we'll when he worked for 6isler at
first base several times this season.
but he is an outfielder and he can't
handle himself around the main gate
the way Sisier can.
Such a loss az suoh a critical time
might shatter the morale OF the club
but this is hardly likely as long as
Lee Fohl IS around urging on the
boys. No one ever has accused the
Browns OF being quitteSs.
It Is more than liBsly that the
accident viii cause the team 20 fight
all the harder.
Pitching and not the weakness al
first base. may turn out 20 be the
worst problem OF thu Browns.
'shooiser since "shucks' Pruett turn
ed up with n lame arm has been
about the only pitcher Fohi had who
has been able 20 go tho distance con-
sistently.
In the last hLif OF tho race a
couple or three pitchers have worked
In nearly every game.
The YanlSs have seventeen games
10 go while the Browns have fifteen
Both clubs have won the same num-
Der OF games but the Yanks have
lost two less.
II the YanLs win nine OF their
seventeen games. the Browns could
tie for the lead with nine victories
out OF fifteen gameL Should the
Yanks win ten out OF their seventeen
games the Browns would have TO cop
eleven out OF their fiftcen games 70
win. II the Tanks win fifteen out OF
their seventeen games they are
mathematically sure OF the pennant.
without considering the loss of
Sisler, the Yankees by the figures
are a 8 20 shot 10 win the pennant
and with slsler out of the game the
Yanks ought TO be 7 20 4 favorite.
SO far both teaias are going fine.
but ~ either one blows under the

NEW YORK. Sept. 13 Omitted
Press) s).-Because he wants to make
all the money he can while his sun
Is shining. Walter Hagen. British
open champion. is getting In bad
with the golf fans.
Hagen. on account OF previous
engagements" did not defend HIS
title as western open champion IN
the recent tournament at Detroit and
he was severely criticized. The cham
pionship was held at his own club
and the officials considered Il an act
OF ingratitude that he took lot OF
color out Of the tournament by not
competing.
Many prominent golf fans express
the opinion that professional golf
ers are becoming too mercenary and
are giving the game a taint of com
mercialism close 10 that OF the
prize ring.
II is easy FOR one without the op-
portunity TO criticize others for
making money. The reign OF a golf
king has always been short and
champions have TO make the best
of their limited opportunities.
Johnny Wilson. middleweight
champion. and Johnny Kilbane.
featherweight champion. are In for
moro trouble. Wilson and Kilbsne
are recognized now in New York
only as former champions and Il IS
understood that the National Box
ing Association of America, which
recently allied itself with the French
Federation. Is going after the two
actionless champions and may va
cate their titles IL they refuse 20
fight.
While the New York commission
may be criticized for acting in the
capacity OF a matchmaker. the gov
ernors OF boxing in New York are
doing much TO break up the trust
arrangement" which has kept many
OF the best American boxers from
working In New York.
Billy Miske, ST. Paul heavyweight,
and one OF the best in the division. /
has complained that he couldn't get
a fight in New York. because he
didn't belong to the inside clique
The commission, however, opened
the way for him by decree tha,
Bill Brennan would have to fight
him before permission would be
granted for another Dempsey-Bren-
nan fight.
Before Lee Flynn stepped out as
advising matchmaker at Madison
Square Garden, many managers and
fighters protested thar II was i'm
possible to get a fight in New York
that might work 20 the disadvan-
tage OF any OF the boxers in the big
Flynn stable.
