Both Leagues Have But Two Serious Con- tenders For Pennant Real Grind In The American Starts To- morrow In West.
By The Associated Press.

BY Tne AebOClatel FTese'
 New York, Sept. l2.-Whie the New York Giants are hanging by the tips of their fingers to scant lead in the National league, the New York Yankees are driving, frantlcaliy on the heels of Stanley Harris Washington Senators to overcome the narrow margin that separates them from first place,
 The race in each league is mar rowed down to twosome instead of 6 threesome, the western teams slowly fading out of the pennant pie ture. While Detroit must still be considered in the running in the younger circuit due to the "breaks' in the schedule which favor it, the chances are looking more favorable every day for the American league pennant to fly over the banks of the Harlem or the Potomac.
 Pittsburgh is also slowly emulat- ing a setting sun. The Giants yes- terday spent an idle day while Brooklyn, continuing its relentless spurt to overtake the McGraw ath- letes, won over the Phillies and drew up to within speaking distance of the pinnacle. The Phillfes, however, made Uncle Robbie know there was a baseball game in progress as the Robins were forced to stay II ln- nings to win the decision, s to z.
 The Tanks gained yesterday by winning a pair from Boston, 4 and 3 and and 8, while both Washing ton and Detroit sank their puts 1T the victory cup, the Senators trounc' ing the Athletics, to 4, while the Tigers nosed out Chicago, 5 to 4, IT an overtime session.
 Cleveland, tugging desperately tt squeeze into the first division ahead of George Sisters Browns, gave the St. Louis team a double trimming 12 to ' and 10 to 6. Frankie Fl lerbe's circuit slap in the ninth in ming with the bases saturated aidlnl in bringing about a decision in tn opener.
 But the real race in the American league starts tomorrow when th Yankees and Senators open up Il the west. It will be tough grln' for the two contenders and the on which can stand the strain the bet ter will get the world series spoilS

PANTHER ZAMES WILD BULL
 $ UNOFFICIAL DECISION
POLO PLAYERS READY
 FOR OPENING MATCH
Rain Delays Games For One
 Week-Possibility of Play Tomorrow.

New York, Sept. 12-After a series of disappointments which has kept the international matches in the background for a week, the polo fours of the United States and Eng land are in readiness today for the first game of the series at Meadow Brook tomorrow afternoon.
 Rain held up the opening encoun- ter for four different days since last Saturday, but with the wet spell about over the two teams are on edge again for the opening conflict.
 The series of postponments has favored the British team more than the American team as it is now req sonably sure that Louis Lacey, crack back and captain of the invading four, will be seen in the saddle in the opening clash. Lacey has been suffering from the shingles but the prolonged rest has made him fiji again and today there is every indi. cation that he will be in the lineup when the whistle blows tomorrow.

JOHN BULL FIGHTS
 WITH UNCLE SAM
But Only on Golf Links--LoOks
 Like Close Rub

Garden City, N. r.; Sept. l2.-If earnest preparation counts John Bull is going to give Uncle Sam a hard battle in their annual two- day golf match for the Walker cup starting today at the Garden City Golf club.
 Ten British golfers have been practicing here for two weeks espe- cially at putting, in which the Brit ons proved superior in the two pre- vious Walker cup competitions. Tbe Americans have had two days practice. The Britons went to bed early last night while most of the Americans went to see Wills battle Firpo.
 Today's program Is four two ball foursomes. Tomorrow there will be eight singles. Each match is at 36 holes and each victory counts a point. Competition for the cup do- mated by George P. Walker of St. Louis, formerly president of the United States Golf association be- gan in 1922. The United States then defeated Great Britain, 8 to 4, at the National links, Southampton, N. Y. Last year at. St. Andrews, Scotland, the United States won, 61A to 5la.
 The first match today is between the Boston team, Francis Ouimet and Jesse Guilford. both former amateur champions and the aces of the Britons; Cyril Tolley. team cap tain, former British amateur cham pion and present open champion, and Major Charles o.

Wills Science Is Too Much For Firpo's
 Wicked Right Mar
 gin Of Victory Very Decisive - In6ghting Game Is Played.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 New York, Sept. 12.--The Pan- ther has tanned the Wild Bull in the battle for supremacy among the rings junglemen.
 This was the conviction that close tot SO,0QO spectators carried away with them last night after Harry. Wills had battered. and beaten Luis Angel Firpo into complete submis- sion, in q 12-round bout that sur prised the entire gathering by going the limit.
 When the smoke of conflict had lifted from Boyles Thirty lAcres, scene of many historic ring encoun- ters, Wills stood out as the con- uueror by a margin so decisive that l 1t left no room for debate. . While Firpo's mighty right was reduced to impotence by crafty, shifty defense, the giant negro knocked the burly Argentine down for a count of four in the second round and whipped him thoroughly in the other eleven with a slashing, bruising, merciess battery of thrusts to head and body.
 Wills won by a one-sided margin on points, He fought cool, care- fully-planned battle. In superb condition and employing all his as- sets of speed and ring skill, the big negro blocked the most furious of ] E'irpo's rushes and at the same time delivered an attack at close range that steadily beat down even the staunch courage and endurance of the massive South American.
 A year ago, almost to day, Firpo went down in the second round of the most melodramatic fight of his- tory after savage, slugging battle with Jack Dempsey in which the finer arts of ring craft were tossed to the winds. Last night, the Ar- genuine went down to defeat before science and skill.
 FirpO's Star Has Set
 Thus this meteoric South Ameri- can, among the most coorfu ring figures of all time, has failed to sur vive the test, either with brute force or skill, and unless his gallant fight ing spirit carries him to an un- expected comeback, Firpo's tistic star, so far as title hopes are con- ctrncd, appears to have set.
 Wills, on the other hand, in brushing aside his foremost rival, has stepped back into tfe position of logical contender for tine title worn by Dempsey. Off and on he has held this distinction for the past three years, / challenging the titlehQlder with patient but un- avaiing persistence. It is no novel; ty for him and there is now no chance he can fulfill his hope of a battle with the champion for at

CUP DEFENDERS
 MEET IN DOUBLES
Two Single Tennis Matches to
 AmeriCa'S Credit

Philadelphia, Sept. 12, - With confidence born of two clear-cut victories in the singles, the Ameri- can Davis cup defenders meet their. Australian challengers today in the only doubles match of the competi- tion eager to hang up the third victory and thereby assure the re- tention in the United States of the famous trophy, symbol of interna- tional lawn tennis team supremacy, for another year.
 William M. Johnston of Califor- mia, veteran of many Davis cup matches, will make his first ap- pearance in this years play today. Paired with William T. Tilden, na- tional champion, who yesterday conquered Gerald l.. Patterson, star of the invading team, in such im- pressive fashion, he willy meet Pat terson and Pat O'Hara Wood, who bowed to the superior tennis of Vincent Richards, youthful New Yorker, in the other singles match of the opening days play.
 Australians Strong
 The Australians admittedly are a strong team, but the experts point ed to the winning record of Tilden and Johnston in Davis cup doubles competition and expressed confl- ! dence in their ability to defeat the challcngers. Even If Patterson and O'Hara Wood emerge victorious to- day they would have to win both singles matches on Saturday in or- der to lift the cup. This appeared improbable if not impossible, in the opinion of experts.
 The opponents of Tilden and Richards in the remaining angles tomorrow will be reversed, the na- tional champion meeting O'Hara Wood, while Richards plays Patter- son, but the superlative form dis played hy the Americans yesterday left little doubt regarding the out. come.
 Girls Championship
 Tn addition to the Davis cur play, two other interesting matches were in store for the spectators to. day The final round of the girl, national championship, in which Miss Helen Jacobs, Berkeley, Calf. and Miss Alice Francis, Orange, N J., will meet has been, shifted tc the Germantown Cricket club where the international competi ton is under way and doubles exhibition between Howard Kinsey a member of the American Davi cup team, and Manuel Alonza Spanish star, and Fred Kalms anc Richard Schlesinger, member 0 the Australian Davis cup combina ton also will be played. Tn, girls match will be played prior t, the Tilden and Johnston Patterson and O'Hara Wood contest and tn exhibition at it's conclusion.
 Clear and continued cool weath CT was the forecast for the day TiIden played through the entir match yesterday with Patterson f a heavy sweater and top coats an furs were much in evidenc amongst the spectators.
