explosives with their pep last We'd
nesday night when they piled up a
ga to ~ score over the local DEMO
lay team,
n whining the Atlanta team dis
played some splendid basketball,
brilliant pass work, and at times SUI
per-human shots. O'Conner, the
leader of the visitors didn't miss
single shot and incidentally he took
several cracks at the basket. He led
the scoring for his team.
For the locals Read and Dobbs
played the best. Captain Read did
splendid work in trying to keep the
score closer but to no avail. Dobbs,
the fashy forward, dazzled the Wis
itors by his speed in intercepting
passes. Darby at center also played
a good game.
A review of the game would be
incomplete without some mention of
the loyal bunch of feminine rooters
the visitors brought with them. At
every stage of the game their voices
could be heard urging their team on
to victory.
Thrilling Game
After the debris of the overwhelm-
ing defeat had been cleared away the
DeMolay second took the floor to en-
gage the Marietta Athletic Club in
battle. This game, while not quite
as disastrous as the previous one,
completely broke the hearts of the
DeMolay supporters. The Marietta
Athletic Club team finally won by
% to 16 score. However, up until
the last few minutes it was anybodys
game. McCollum, for the victors,
shot II points. Gilbert, Bishop and
Fine did the best work for the losers.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ANENNp
william u. Borah Of Idaho viii be
che Republican leader Of the Senate
in the next Congress.
Even IL Borah tries to escape the
responsibility his natural succession
70 the leadership appears inevitable.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge OF
Massachusetts is now the Repub'
Iican leader of the Senate, but even
Il death does not overtake him be.
fore the opening of the Sixty'ninth
Congress next March, his FRIENDS
here do not expect that he will again
assume the Senate seat which he
has held for more than e. quarter of
Of a century.
The mantle of Lodges leadership
during the past decade resulted
largely from the fact the United
States in that period took q fuller
hand in international affairs. As
chairman Of the Senate Foreign Rela-
lions Committee. Lodges views nat
urally were important in the consid-
Grafton of any questions in which
Americas foreign policy was in
volved. With Lodges retirement.
Senator Borah will succeed to the
craftsmanship Of the Foreign Rela-
tons Committee,
Heads Three Committees.
When Senator Frank Brandegee
Of Connecticut committed suicide
here a few weeks ago. Borah sue
ceeded to the chairmanship Of the
Senate Judiciary Committee and is
already chairman of the Committee
on Education and Labor.
Thus does Borah stand at the head
Of three of the Senate's most pow
erful committees, and is in q posi-
ton to take any one of the three
chairmanships for himself, besides
being able to practically name the
men who will get the other two. 1t
is an unparalleled situation in the
history OF the United States Senate.
There is no member Of the Sen.
ate who stands higher in the re.
gard of President Coolidge than
does Senator Borah. Definite indi-
cation OF this was given last sum-
mer when the President brought
pressure to bear upon the Idaho
Senator during the Republican
national convention to get him to
accept the Republican Vice Presi-
Dental nomination.
Preferred Senate.
Borah turned it down because,
ne said, he thought that he could
render more service as q member
OF the Senate than as its pre-.
siding officer. He was afraid it
was seen, that he would be shelved
In the Vice Presidency, and he
wanted to be free to say and do
what he pleased in the rough and
tumble OF the Senatorial forum.
The fact That's Rorah turned down
the Vice Presidency did not lessen
President Coolidge's admiration of
him: On most questions OF gov.
ernmental policy they are in abso-
lutte agreement. There is scarcely
9 move that Rorah could make,
figuring his future course on the
basis of his paast record, that could
not receive the approval OF the
President. Thus it appears that
the President would also be pleased
to see Borah succeed to the Re.
publican leadership in the Senate,

The standings are about settled in
the National League. The Giants
nave their fourth straight champion
ship clinched. Brooklyn is sure of
second place and, considering the
Brooklyn clubs season-long record,
the Brooklyns did extraordinarily well
to finish second. They began the sea-
son as if they would do well to finish
at the top of the second division and
they narrowly escaped finishing there.
II was due mainly to the fine work of
the Brooklyn pitchers that they came
along as well as they did A change
or two in the lineup helped, and no
change was more helpful than that
which sent Brown to center field. a
move that propped up a team that

on the field, expending his vitality
more freely and in greater volume
than almost any man in base ball.

NEW YORK, September 29.-The
Eastern and Western divisions of the
National and American Leagues have
retreated to their respective sections
to wind up the campaign with the
seasons honors divided in intersec-
tional games, so far as divisions are
concerned. The Western brigade
carried off the honors in the National
League by a margin of 25 games.
while the fine work of Washington
during the last six weeks enabled the
Eastern contingent to come out on
top in the junior circuit. The New
York Yankees also during the latter
weeks played above their previous
intersectional strength so that the
Eastern quartet as a unit finished
with an advantage of 26 games.
The Brooklyn club, which has been
making a game fight for the National
League pennant was the best inter-
sectional performer in either league,
with a mark of .5s1. Washington
and the Yankees were tied for second
place, with $50, and two National
League clubs-Chicago and Pitts
burgh-were even for third. with .575.
The Boston Nationals proved the
weakest intersectional performer, with
a mark of 1856, four points below the
Phillies.

NJ EW YORK. September 2o.-
N Base ball fans, deprived OF
their sport of doping" win
ners in the major leagues by the
victory of the Giants and the ap-
parent success OF the Nationals
have transferred their speculation to
these two teams in the coming
world series struggle. which begins
Saturday at Washington unless a
play-off in the American League be-
comes necessary.
Both Griffmen and Yankees were
idle yesterday. and the latter will
pursue their slim hope of a tie to-
day. 1t will be necessary for the
champions of the world to defeat
Philadelphia twice while Washington
loses its two remaining contests with
Boston. A tie and a play-off of three
games would then result. Otherwise
the king will be dead.
The problem of picking his sue
cessor will be a difficult and worthy
climax to a sensational year: Wash
ington, by it's aggressive rise to the
top of the American League in mid
season and its tenacious grip on the
position throughout the desperate
struggle with New York and Detroit,
has achieved a reputation as a fight
Ing team
The Giants. however. displayed tra-
ditional spirit in rising to the occa-
sion with a crippled team to defeat
Pittsburgh and now are relaxing
with recruit lineup in the field to
prepare for the coming test against
Washin gton. 1t is expected that both
Groh and Frisch will be ready for the
classic.
Brooklyn finished it's season yes
terday by clinching the second-place
of the series as Dazzy Vance won his
2sth game in 5-to-1 victory over
Boston
Vance added nine strikeouts to his
record and held the Braves to three
hits until the ninth when they made
two in succession for their only run.
Pittsburgh definitely fell to third
place when the Cubs drove Meadows
off the mound and won, to 4. Jacobs
pitched in fine form.
The Giants, with most regulars
resting, eased up and lost a 11-6
slugging battle to the Phillies. ST.
Louis split a double header with Gin
cinnati, winning the first, 9 to 8. as
Rhem, a recruit, won his second con-
test, but losing the next, to 2, when
Day, another rookie. was hit freely.
The Cardinals made 16 hits off Dono-
hue in the first, but Benton held them
safe in the nightcap.
In the only American League game
played, Detroit and Chicago went 10
innings to a 10 to 10 tie until dark
ness forced the calling of the battle.
1t will be replayed today. The White
Sox, never have finished in last place,

Leon Cosln Is 'Prince of Whaers Among the Criffmen

NX IORk on the farm did not
wv annoy Leon Allen Goslin
very much when there was
no base ball game in the neighbor-
hood, but with diamond tilt on, his
fathers south Jersey agricultural in
terests suffered considerably. Leon
was born in Salem, N. J., October
10, 1900. but was taken to the farm
at tender age. and as soon as he
was old enough was turning fur
rows.
The farm got much from Leon each
year until bast ball got under way
then Leon was as apt as not to leave
plow and horses in the middle Of the
field and hustle to the game. That
Icons father disciplined the son
severely for such acts failed to dis
courage the young man. He just had
to be around base ball.
When about 16 Leon had become
such a pitcher and batter he was in
vited~to join the Salem nine, then one
of the leading organizations of south
Jersey. To belong to that club was
indeed an honor. according to the
youth of the countryside, and when
Leon after a short time had estab-
lished himself as the best player of
the club. he was hailed as The" ball
player of the southern section of the
State.
A couple of years later his fame
had SO spread that mi-professional
teams were bidding for his services
and he prospered considerably as
pitcher. Finally Bill MCGOWAN. who
had been and still is umpiring in the
Southern Association, saw Leon in
couple of games in south Jersey and
thought the young pitcher good
enough for minor league trial.
Leon, known far and wide as
Goose" was quite ready to take
chance when Bill told him of a job
open at Columbia in the South At
lantic League, so there the Salem boy
went in 1920. He did some fair pitch
ing in the Sally League, but proved
much more formidable at bat than
on the mound and the next year
Columbia used him in the outfield as
much as in the box.
That started Leon upon a fence
busting" career in the hill region of
the Carolinas and ended his pitching
job. He hammered the ball so hard
that his fame spread to the big leagues
and the Nationals lost no time in
picking him off. He came to Wash
ington as an outfielder only in the
latter part of the 1921 season and has
done much to strengthen the club.
topping all the Bucks at the business
of driving in runs. Goose" is a free
swinger. The fans even enjoy see

whole -heartedly.

Since coming to the Red SoX from
Chattanooga, whence he was farmed
by the Bucks, Wingfield has pitched
we'll.
Manager Harris was expected to
choose Jez Zachary, who practically
pulled Saturdays game out of the
fire, for his pitcher in the third game
of this important series. Right now.
Zachary appears to be in better form
than any other hurler on the Bucks
staff, and has a splendid chance to
gain the distinction of having pitch
ed the Bucks to victory in the de-
cisive game of the pennant struggle.
Much of the Nationnls' playing in
the two games here was decidedly
below par, considering their play in
the West as a standard But two of
them performed in fine style. Bucky
Harris was steady in his fielding and
executed several noteworthy plays in
each of the engagements. Ossie
Bluege had no chances Friday, but
saturday was kept busy around the
hot corner, and in both games batted
creditably. While other Bucks could put
no snap into their work these two
never lost their poise for an instant.
The nervous strain occasioned by
the srueling flag race is not felt by
the players only. Even such veteran
base ball men as President Clark
Griffith and Coach Nick Altrock be-
come unstrung when fate seems
against the Nationals. Several times
recently the battle has become too in :
tense for Nick'S castiron nerve and
he has had to leave the field Prexy
Griffith, who is accompanying his club
this trip, likes box seat near the
Bucks dugout and always occupies
one when affairs are running smoothly
for his team on the field. When the
Bucks are trailing, though, he moves
to the back of the grandstand and
does not return to the front row un-
til the situation is less acute. Bill
Smith. road secretary of the club,
eats no supper the day the Bucks are
defeated. Bill is losing no weight, at
that.
Another one of the Bucks hurlers
is complaining of a sore arm Fred
Marberry reported trouble in his
pitching wing yesterday, but Trainer

is bothering him is not SURPRISING
