HORNSBY'S CLOUTING
SAID TO SET RECORD

ST. LOUIS, August 22.-What is con-
sidered a world record was hung up
by Rogers Hornsby, the Cardinals
star second baseman, when he closed
the double header with New York
yesterday with seven hits out of
seven tries, and ran his string to IS
out of II trips to the plate in the
four games of the last two days.
His last eight hits have come on
eight successive trips, which row is
unfinished, with the chance to add to
it today. Out of the 10 hits, two have
been homers, four doubles and the
remaining seven singles.
Hornsby started. his hitting streak
after striking out three times in
three trips to the plate last Sunday
and Monday, on which days he was
held hitless.
The homers came in yesterdays
double-header with New York.

the Is tussles waged with the Bucks
There are two games listed to be
played with the Browns Monday, with
single settoes down for Tuesday and
Wednesday. 1t will be up to the Har-
riSmen to grab at least three of
these if they are to be in a position
to wrest the lead away from the
Yankees when they invade New York
next Thursday for four games in as
many days. The last time Bucks and
Browns clashed. in ST. Louis early
this month, the Mound City gang
handed out a staggering wallop to
the GriffS by tossing them for five
straight losses. The Mats are out for
revenge and whether they get it will
have an all-important bearing on
their pennant prospects.
Johnson grew weary after toiling
seven scoreless sessions against the
Chfsox yesterday and gave way to
Firpo Marberry who finished in fine
order. although the outlook was a bit
dubious in the ninth, when he winged

If 80 games can win the champion

they had last evening, would have to
win "a more. Pittsburgh must do
the same thing, for their standing also
is IS won. The Clients need only Is
more to make their 80, as they now
have 72 victories.
Brooklyn has five more games to
play the Giants and Pittsburgh has
three. IL between them they could
bump the Giants for all eight they
would make travel awfully hard on
the tender tootsies of the New York
club. No matter what other teams

OF the total Of eight left to play on
the part of the contenders would cost

and that would leave large gap in
the side of the New York pennant
ship. 1t is imagining a great deal TO
figure that this may happen. But
base ball is noted for it's vagaries of
play.
Cubs Gradually Slipping.
Brooklyn has climbed to third place
by playing better ball than the Cubs,
who, gradually are gravitating to-
ward their normal position at the end
of the league fight Once each year
they squirt like winners, only to ooze
back into the ruck.
If Brooklyn had won four or I'VE OF
the 13 games they have lost to the
Giants this year they would be fight
ing for first place right now. They
are playing more successful ball at
the present than their rivals across
the river, but how long they can keep
1t up is something else. Not a team
this year has proved itself capable of
a continued squirt except the Giants.
The Yankees have been knocked out
of first place and have fought their
way back, but the Giants, so far. have
refused to be knocked out At this
stage of the race. the odds still favor
them. But the unlikely always is like
~ to happen.

New Investigations
The senate committee was prepar-
ing to pursue several lines of inquiry.
Testimony of John c. Shafrer, Dem
yer, and Chicago newspaper owner
yesterday, indicating that Fall began
negotiations with Harry F. Sinclair
for leasing Teapot Dome soon after
Fail took Office in 1921, will be fol-
lowed up, because at the time the
naval reserves were not even in Falls
jurisdiction and the committee wants
to know whether he had some under
standing when he entered the cabinet
that the reserves would be transfer
red from the navy to the interior de-
partment. Such evidence would clinch
the evidence of fraud and corruption
IN making the leases and would make
certain their annulment by the courts,
committee members believe.
Investigation of the $1,000,000
"slush fund" reported loaned to gov
eminent officials by oil men went
ahead quietly as E. B. Mclean, Wash
ington publisher, sped to Washington
to be the first witness concerning the
funds.
Senator Wheeler, Montana, author
of resolution for investigation of
Attorney-Genera Daugherty, decided
today to let his measure lie on the
table for few days so as not to con-
tiict with the Teapot Dome inquiry
proper.

financier, who dragged the late Pres
ident Harding's name into the oil in

What is the difference between
