CHICKS LOOK LIKE CERTAIN. WINNERS

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 7.-By win ming six out of the last seven games played, the Memphis Chicks have brought about situation where At lanta's chances of winning the Southern Association pennant depends not only on the Crackers continuing their wiH. ming streak but upon Memphis suffer- ing decided slump.
 Should Memphis win seven out of the remaining twelve scheduled games, the Crackers would have to win all of their Il scheduled games in order to tic the Chicks.
 There is no decided advantage of either team in tbs schedule for the re- mainder of the season. Memphis has six games, at home, and Atlanta has four. With the exception of d single game with Mobile, Atlanta will fight it out with Chattanooga and Bir- mingham. During the season, the Crackers have won ten games from Chattanooga and lost seven. They have won twelXe from Birmingham and lost five. Against the Birmingham Chattanooga opposition, therefore, the Crackers have won % and lost 12.
 Memphis fights it out with Nashville and Birmingham, with the exception of one game with Little Rock. The Chicks have won II and lost with Nashville and they have won 10 and lost with Birmingham during the season, making the score q to 9 against the opposition.
 nuwsnv khn ,~oc% gained half game on Atlanta and the Chicks are now four and half games in the lead.
 Atlanta out-hit Memphis during the week. In seven games, including Sat- urday the Crackers hit safely 95 times, for 54 runs, while Memphis got only 67 hits in six games for B runs. Memphis held opponents to IT runs however while Atlanta was scored on 30 times.
 The Chicks go to Birmingham to- morrow for six games, while Atlanta ol ens at home with Chattanooga Tues day. After four games, the Crackers move over to Chattanooga for one game, then to Birmingham for five, and wind up the season at Mobile, September 21. After six games with Birmingham, the Chicks play at home for five games with Nashville and Little Rock will end the season, here, Septem- Der 21.
 With two weeks to go, no team in the league is definitely confined to a certain berth in the standing column. Should Little Rock win all remaining games and Birmingham lose all, the Travellers could climb out of the cellar and a similar, long chance to improve their standing holds good for the other teams up the standing column.
 Last weeks play. including Satur- days games, follow:

M'GINTY AND DILLON
 BOX MONDAY NIGHT
Grudge Battle To Be Pulled Off At Birmingham
 Athletic Club Arena

Young Jack Dillon, pug-nosed itinerary gentleman who is occasional ly in Nashville, Tenn, whose nose, by the way, is slightly sway backed from the numerous blows he has stopped with it, has included Birmingham on his travelling list and will appear at the B. A. c. Monday night in the same ring with Johnny McGinty, a product of the Magic City. The in tentions of the two young men at this meeting will be to take as many cracks possible in a given amount of time at the person of. the other fellow. That there will be quite frequency in the hitting is little doubted, and as to whether the blows will be heavy certain circumstances indicate that the answer may be affirmative and correct at the same time.
 McGinty and Dillon met at the Ath- letic club a couple of weeks ago and the local boy lost the bout on a foul. Dillon thought that maybe the young Irishman did not like what he was giving him, or at least that is what he intimated, and this insinuation did not sit well with McGinty's Irish na- ture. So Johnny will endeavOr to demonstrate what generous character he is and give Dillon plenty Monday night.
 Must Make 15S
 Then, Dillon has demanded that Johnny make 153 pounds. Now this represents hard work for McGinty and possibly little weakening process. So here again the Nashville boy touched a tender spot in the hide of McGinty and he will also attempt to revenge himself for those extra licks of work.
 McGinty has been showing a much better style of boxing since he returned from the east and he has been giving

ROAD DISCOVERS
 TRICK OF PATRONS
CalifOrnians Leave Books On
 Cars To Avoid Fines
(By Associated Press)

PASADENA, Cal, Sept. 7.-People who have been using the Pacific Elec- tric railway as a medium for returning overdue books to the publi library, in the future must emroy other means of evading the librarians fines.
 For months the lost and found de- partment of the railway has been re- turning to the library books picked up in street cars and buses. The number gradually grew until one mans time was chiefly occupied in returning books from the car barns. When railway officials noticed that no one forgot to leave any privately owned books on the cars, they came to the conclusion that they were being worked" and announced that there would be no more books returned to the public library.

NO. 2 SECOND PARTY HAS TOLD BY GILMORE DOBIE

OUdCAI, OOAhOAhJ
 Wisconsin's right end was left stand even touch the Maroon quarter with his finger tips. The Badger backfield, with the exception of its safety man, had been drawn toward Chicago's right side by the feigned punt. That astounding run, started on Chicago's 30-yard line, did not end until Eckersall was downed by the defensive quarterback, Melsener, on Wisconsins 30-yard line.
 No goal resulted from this strategy, but its results were highly important. It proved that Eckersall was Eckersall despite the rain, the mud and the sluth. Wisconsin lost considerable of its con- fidence, exchanging for it an uneasiness which grew as the game progressed-an uneasiness fomented by tactics it did not understand, and which weakened
 Badgers Wait For Vain
 shFor Eckersall made no mi take in applying the lesson he had taught. Play after play progressed while the Badgers waited in vain for him to try other runs. Always he disappointed them. He often carried the ball, but it was in the closeup formations; and most of the time he was delegat- ing the task to Walker, Detray and Bezdek. Frequently he punted. He was studying his opponents closely, search ing cannily for the moment when he again could leap out at them suddenly, catching them uprepared for his be- numbing tactics.
 Such an opportunity came in the second half, when the teams faced one another in a situation identical to that which had produced Walters 55-yard run Obviously, he would not try that tri.k again. But in Eckersall's mind

GOLFERS PREPA ARE FOR CUP MATCHES
Walker Cup Events Be- tween Britain And Amer n, ica Draw Interest

NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-Golf fans all over the world this week are looking forward expectantly to the play on Fri day and Saturday, in which the anna teur stars of America and Great Brit ain will meet at the Garden City Golf club links for series of two-ball and singles matches for the Walker cup.
 The Americans now hold the cup and have retained it since the first match of the series was played in 1922. Before then, however, one match was played unofficially, and in this also, the United States team was victorious.
 Preparations have been made to per init 10000 spectators to witness the series next week, which will be the first time the event has been staged on a course on which crowd could gather.
 The Garden City club, one of the old est in the country, has been the scene of three national championship battles in the past.
 The schedule for play calls for only eight players to be on each side, all though each team is composed of ten men, Eight pairs will meet in the two-
 
 ond day eight players from each team will compete in the individual matches.
 Bob Gardner of Chicago is captain of the American team. With him are Jess Sweetser of Siwaney, Francis Oui- met and Jesse Guilford of Boston, Dr. 0. F. Willing of Portland, Ore; liar rison Johnson of St. Paul, Max Mars ton of Philadelphia, Bobby Jones of At of ffch and Chick Evans of Chicago.
 Each of the American players ex- cept two has been the holder of either tha open or amateur championship, and two of them have won both. The Brit ish team, which is headed by Cyril Il. ]. Tolley of the Royal and Ancient club of St. Andrews, Scotland, has no such records of individual trlumphs by its members. Tolley himself IS the only one of the invaders with a national crown to his credit. He won the Brit ish amateur title in 1920.
 Other members of the British team are O. G. Bjistowe of West Byflet Major Charles O. Hezlet of Royal Port Rush, W. T. Hope of Turnberry, Den his H. Kyle of ROehampton, w. A Murray of West Hill, Robert Scott, Jr.. of Glasgow, Hon. Michael Scott of Royal St. George, T. A. Torrance of Sandy Lodge Id Eustace Y. Story captain of this year's Cambridge uni Persity team.
 The invading team will fight under still another disadvantage. Each of the American players has participated be- fore in the Walker cup matches, some of them two and three times, while only Tolley, Hope and Murray of the British team have previously entered this event
 In view of this handicap of lesser e! perience, and the showing of the teams of the two countries in the past, Ameri' can observers predict that only bril- liant @hd unexpected show of form on the part of the British will prevent the, cup from remaining on this side of the Atlantic another year.

ECKERSALL DUPLICATES
 TRICK TO BEAT BADGERS
All-American Quarter Boots Field Goal On First Down For Triumph

the thought persisted that his op- ponents would reach just such con clusion. Moreover, other plG.-s includ- ing the famous Maroon mass-on-tackle, which consisted of sending all of the backfield men through tackle for short gains, had been stopped effectively. So he did that which it was apparent he could not do-and, for the second time, got away with it; this time for a run of 40 yards. Keeps Up Manner Of Defeat All the time he was maintaining that deceptive air of defeat and dejection. Looking at him, you would have sworn that he was convinced there could be only one end the struggle and that would be disaster for Chicago. But in the active recesses of his mind other thoughts held sway.
 Twice, earlier in the contest, the Maroon had reached a point where a field goal seemed possible. Twice the Eckersall toe had directed the ball to- ward the Badger posts. But in the rain and the mire the pigsk.n was ob- stinate. These attempts went astray
 Now, with the end of the combat in sight, the great quarterback mar shalled his resources for an attack that would place him in position for a third attempt at a field goal. Using almost the same formation that had produced his two sensational end runs, with the exception that he did not play back as though for a punt, he pretended to pass the ball to Bezdek, who carried out the fiction of low, hard charge at right end. Instead be kept the pigskin himself, and, sneak ing around left end, negotiated a 32- yard dash that placed it on Wiscon- sins 20-yard line directly in front of its goal posts.
 Supreme Test
 Now came tEe supreme test of the psychology applied by Eckersall. With the goal but 20 yards away, he ordered so misled the enemy.
 It was only first down. Wisconsin decided-quite ustifiably-that he in- tended another arouLd-end run. It de- ployed its defense accordingly.
 In flash creation crumbled around their very ears The Maroon star, re- ceiving tLe snap-back ten yards behind his line, dropped kick squarely be- tween the goal posts with such speed that the Badger ends and backs scarce ly took step!
 Strategy Was Repetition
 Frantic efforts of the Wisconsin juggernaut availed nothing in the re- maining moments of play. The ball was rushed in a series of bruising smashes to within one inch of the Chicago line, but there the Maroon held like ad- amant. The game ended 3 to o, with Wisconsin on the short end. Having dis posed of the Badger threat, one of it's two greatest menaces of the year, the Stagg outfit went on to another triumph, this time over Michigan 80, that gave it the western championship.
 Properly speaking, the great strategy which brought the Maroon its victory over Wisconsin did not rest in a single play, but in the repetition of that at carefully forseen psychological inter- vals. Thus carried out, the football world was afforded the spectacle of tactical demonstration which, in my opinion, has never been surpassed and perhaps never equalled.
 It thrills me to the marrow even though nearly. 20 years have passed.

FIRPO INCIDENT
 lCENSES LATlNS
Argentine Moral Code Is Very Different From
 American
By MORGAN EASTERLING

BUENOS AIRES, Sept. Luis Angel Firpo's troubles with the re- form element and the department of labor in the United States may be- come an international incident.
 They certainly are not increasing friendship between the two Americas.
 The Argentines, most of whom wor- ship Firpo, are incensed at his arrest in "puritanical America" on charges which would be laughed at here if they were not causing annoyance to the big fighter.
 Bitter resentment is expressed in the highest political and social circles at what is considered an unwarranted in- reference in an Argentine citizens private affairs. The question whether or not Firpo's is guilty of the charges that he took Sonora Blanca Lou Des Picart to the United States makes no difference to the ArGentines and no one can understand why Firpo's amorous adventures or private affairs should be the object of any concern by high of ficials at Washington.
 Firpo's case serves to illustrate in an astonishing manner the difference Q States and Latin America, and the action of the United States authorities in interfering in a love affair are ab- solutely uncomprehensible to a country which looks upon divorce as a virtual crime but condones free love, which passes unnoticed in the ordinary course of events.
 The newspapers are especially bitter l,t ( puritanism," they point out the incon- sistency of the United States getting wrought up over Firpo's alleged affair with a woman not his wife when prom. inent Americans can be married one day and divorced the next"
 Critica, leading evening newspaper carried the headlines: ''Firpo a vic i tim of Yankee puritanism-United States, where divorce easy as marriage unable comprehend man living with woman when he lovesw
 Critica goes on to explain the case declaring that it is one of insufficient gravity to permit foreign country to arrest, harass or depOrt an Argentine citizen.
 "We are always the first to point out Firpo's errors and faults," says another prominent daily" but in this case Firpo is undoubtedly the victim oi legislation which appears to us uncivil- ized and inhuman. Firpo is an Argen. tine and we follow our own custom which are anti-puritanical. Whether FirpO committed q crime or not we are unable to say, but the whole pro. ceeding appears to us to be exceed ingly ridiculous.
 Most newspapers, after interviewing prominent Argentines and North Amer jeans, arrive at the conclusion that Canon William Sheafe Chase, who started all the trouble, is a publicity seeker who does not represent the gen eral public opinion of the United States, but they continue to ask why American officials are participating SC actively, and this mystery cannot bC solved by Argentine psychology.

WTHEN Walter Eckersall defeat w ed Wisconsin with field goal

.WTHEN Walter Eckersall defeat w ed Wisconsin with field goal ill 1905 it was the third sue cessive years in which he had beaten the Badgers in that fashion.
 ! Critics generally rate Eckersal as the greatest quarterback of all time. Placing him on the All-American in >1906-a position to which the Ma room star was by that time accus- tomed-Walter Camp said of him:
 "Eckersall, in season when drop-kicking has been most valuable, outside of O'Brien of Swarthmore, has been the only drop-kicker who has been a really consistent menace to the opposing goals. But it is the combination of'qualities that entities him to the place (All-American quarter) rather than any one excel fence. He is a good general, won derful punter, a deadly tackler, and he can run back kick with Eddie Dillon of Princeton"
