The Home Hills

After long days when l come
Once more from far rowing. home,
While l watch with eager eyes
Old loved landmarks. friendlywise.
Sudden bursting into view
Sharp etched on the skies clear blue
Lo, the hills of home arise.
Always round the curve they lie
Waiting hid as l draw nigh,
Till | pass the angled bend.
And the last long slope ascend.
And the shortening road runs straight
There to welcome me they wait
Hills Of home and journeys end.
Grind of train wheels on the rail -
Hotor swerving sharp and sheer
Steamboat reaching for the pier
Curve or headland. break or bend
| must pass. and at the end
Stand the home hills, clean and clear
Thus when fate my spirit brings.
To the ordained end OF things,
I shall come as now ] come
Through far spaces wearisome.
Through the shrOuding wells that lie
'Twixt time and eternity,
Till there blaze against the sky,
Gold and jade-the Hills OF Home.

McGraw ReLaxes As Giants Cinch
 National Pennant

The stern late season mask of John J. McGraw relaxed Friday as the Giants clinched the National league pennant in a to 0 victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers at the Polo Grounds.
 It was his third consecutive pen nant. and the ninth since he assumed the managerial reigns. The grey haired managers record Is unexcelled In the annals of major league base ball.
 The mathemati al possibilities, which has deluded the second-p place Reds with a slender chance to win the 1923 flag, was sent aglimmerlng on the National league horizon. Even if the Giants should lose all of their remaining games. while the Reds would win all of theirs. Cincinnati would still be In the sec6nd place. In th:5 event the final league standing would be:
 w. L. Pct. New Yor'; ............,. 94 5s .6I4
 This was the closest National
 
 The lions share of the credit goes to the willy manager. With a pitch ing st2.ff badly cracked and webbing throubSout the season, the impelling spirit of McGraw has made the road a passable, If not a smooth one.
 It was little Artie Nehf. the Giants lefthander. who pitched tn Nc raw men to their pennant Friday. Backed by heavy stickwork, --rtie worked purposefully throughout. He held the Dodgers to nine well scattered hits. Burleigh Grimes was his op- ponent.
 Second place money for Cincinnati is assured. The Pirates are well aback of them and shows signs of falling lower. Pittsburg lost to the cubs in Chicago, to l, and permitted the latter, in fourth place, to advance within four and a half games of them. Should the Cubs maintain their present pace, they can still win a third place berth.
 The Braves came from behind in the ninth Inning to win, from the Phils in Philadelphia, II to '. Cy Williams thirty y-eighth homer in the first inning was of little help to the Phils for it came with the bases un- occupied. Lee, the Phillies' out fielder, contributed a pair of homers also of no avail
 In the Yankee-Red Sox game at Boston. the pennant winners ham mered out a total of 30 swats and won, 24 to 4. It was their ninety sixth victory of the season. They may feasibly reach the 100 mark.
 The Tigers, by defeating the seo- ond place Indians in Detroit, r to 8. chinned themselves one game astern of the faltering Cleveland club.

SEWANEE TIGERS READYFORCOMING|
 OF HOWARD TEAM.
Tigers Have Been Pushed Hard For Game On Moun-
 tain Saturday

sEWANEE. Tenn. Sept. 2o.-The coaches have been pushing the Tigers this week in preparation for the game with Harris Cope's Howard college team on Hardee field Satur- day.
 A few of the regulars were allowed to remain on the sidelnes Monday, but beginning with Tuesday all have been in harness except Gooch, the lanky end, who suffered a sprained ankle in the Carson-Newman game Reports are that he. will be able to enter the game against Howard, al ternating with Perry on the wing position opposite Blood Miller.
 The return of Buck Haynes gives the coaches another sterling full back to fight with Sanders for the position. Haynes Is well up to the 200 mark and stockily built, and hits the line like an old timer He runs we'll and will no doubt give a good account of himself before the season is over.
 With the exception of Benton's broken leg and Gooch's spraireu ankle, the team came through the last game in good shape.
 Amos Kent, who won his letter last year but did not reach the mountain in time this fall to play last Saturday, is again in harness and the coch is ls1ng hlm at a guard position, alongside Beatty at tackle. Kent is big enough for a first-class guard, and with his tackle experience ought to make fine forward next to the center position.
 Stivers is going good at center, and he and John Russ ought to play the season out at that position. Two full teams are running at the same time, with Heinie Powers holding one quarter position and Pete Baird the other. Barker, who played great game at quarter on last years freshman team, Is being used at halfback position, and promises to make as good as showing in that po- sition as he did at quarter.
 Speed Is what the coaches are try ing to drill into the men, and ability to handle the ball without fumbl1ng. the failure to do the latter last Sat urday costing the Tigers much ground.
 Cope's team will face different crowd of Tigers than did Carson Newman; but Cope will come to &he mountain with the determination to win the game or hold the Tigers to tie. And he will have as his assist ant Bob Dobbins, a star of the Ilser line few years ago.
 It promises to be a great game ana no doubt the hair will be torn In more than one instance.

CHAMPION WINS 7 AND 5 IN CRUICKSHANK MATCH WHILE HAGEN WINS EASILY, 12-11
Both Players Have Easy Matches Tn Semi-FinaIS Of National Professional Golf Tourney

Hagen, champion of the professionals tn 1921, eliminated "Dapper George" Mclean of the Grassy Sprain club, Bronxville, N. Y, 12 and II.
 Despite the fact that he was only -four strokes over par for the entire route, Cruickshank always was struggling. He appeared the same ''Wee Robbie" who set the galleries athrill during the open championship at Inwood last July while playing the first nine, and was as cocky and confident as ever when they strode to the tenth all even.
 But the four birdies in row that flew off Sarazen's clubs on the next four were bit too much.
 The black-halred, smiling Sarazen was In trouble often but his re- coyeries were remarkable.
 One of his most amazing shots was made on the 18th hole in the morn ing round. His tee shot here fell In the woods left of the fairway and he had bad lie In the tall grass. His second carried over the trees and flew to a rocky shelf 50 feet above and to the right of the gI cen. Sarazen then pitched to within 20 feet of the pin and was down in two butts to win.
 Hagen and Sarazen last met in the third round of a tournament in Leeds, England, when Hagen won 2 and 1.

Sept. 2s.-(spe- cial.) )-Clearly outclassed by the Howard Bullpups. the Fayette County High team suffered its first defeat on its own ground since 1916, when the Howard freshman took the encounter clearly and cleanly, to 0.

 Fayette came only within IS yards of the Pups goal line. while the Rats" fingered In the shadow of the Scotters goal posts. penalties costing the invaders so much that Weber was called back three times to try at field goals and was suc- cessful in all attempts.
 The strong line of the Pups was an impregnable wall to the light Fayetters. although Coach Scotts team made one triumphant march toward the line. only to have the Rats" flock in and fight at the last. Captain Pro Tenn Ford ran the team well from quarterback, carrying the ball several times for gains, with little rink Tinklepaugh gaining the most ground by his sensational end running. Weber and Lollar ploughed the line several times for big gains, while both boys booted well. Weber's being from the field and Lollar out distanced his opponents.

Football Takes Limelight Today In All Sections


 NEW YORK, Sept. 2s.-Football will take it's place In the sporting limelight tomorrow when many lead ing elevens in the east as well as throughout the country will swing into action for the first time.
 For the most part, major teams will test their 1923 model machines against lesser known opponents. but several games of unusual interest are on the schedule, while others may serve as forecasts of team strength among prominent aggregations.
 Especially interesting in the east will be the intersectional battle at West Point between the Army and the University of Tennessee, the first of five intersectional contests on the cadet schedule. The other branch of the service. the navy, will figure in something of an intersectional clash when the midshipmen oppose Will liam college.
 The big three-Princeton, Yale and Harvard-will not undergo their initial tests for another week, but other leading eastern outfits, includ- ing Cornell, Dartmouth, Penn State, Pennsylvania, Pittsburg and Syra- cuse, will take the grtdiron for the first time. Pittsburg has perhaps the stiffest assignment of the lot in opposing Bucknell.
 Cornell plays St. Bonaventure, Syracuse tackles Hobart, Pennsyl- vania opens it's season against Franklin and Marshall, Penn State faces Lebanon Valley. while Dart mouth entertalns Norwich university. Colgate. surprised last week by Al fred, which held the strong upstate eleven to two touchdowns, will play Clarkson Tech tomorrow
