Sterrett, Kansas champion, Mrs. Dave Gaut, formerly southern titleholder and Mrs. Stewart Hanley. Michigans' premier golfer.
 Play vas held at shore Acres club, because of the flood that still made a lake in the center of Dnwentsia links.
 Miss Burns reached third round by defeating Virginia Pap, of st. Louis,
 1 to 5, yesterday. at Shore Acres, and her match today with Virginia Wilson promised 10 be good one, for the latter overcame no less d golfer than Bernice Wall, Wisconsin champion.
 Mrs. Sterrett faced Dorothy klotz of Chicago, today after defeating Mrs. J. w. Taylor, and she found no mean opponent for in two successive rounds Miss Klotz put out former champions, Mrs. Elain Rosenthal Reinhart, of Dallas, Texas, and Mrs. C. Let's. of Chicago.
 In the other half of the draw, Mrs. Gaut met Edith Cummings of Chi cago. national champion, having elim- mated Catherine Walsh, of Grand Beach, Mich, while Miss Cummings was busting Virginia Gittens of Green Bay, Wis. The survivor of this match will play the finals of the victor in the contest between Mrs. Hanley and Mrs. Lee Mida, of Chicago, the Michigan having defeated Dorothy Higbie, of Chicago, while Mrs. Mida overcame Louise Fordyce, of Youngs- town, Ohio, champion, after an even battle on the other half.
 The best golf yesterday was played by Miss Burns, although Miss Cum mings had good score that might have figured under par if she had the round. Shore Acres course is in good condition except for q few pools of casual water and some bunkcrs that are lagoons.
 The Shore Acres links is 6.@07 yards long with par of 43-4G-S6 for women. 1t is planned 10 return 10 Onwentsia tomorrow for the semi finals and for the final contest at 3G holes on Monday.

PIRATES-MOHAWkS TOMORROW AT 4P.M.
Other City League Games; Pic.
 neerS-FarnirS, SaintS-Rangers

Tomorrowa city league game be- tween the Mohawks and the Pirates will undoubtedly be the best of the season in this circuit. The game will be played at o'clock on diamond one, following tle games at . o'clock between the Rangers and Saints and Pioneers and fafnirs.
 The Mohawks have been playing a fast brand of ball ever since they or ganized and their meeting with the Pirates several weeks ago, when they lost protested game, resulted unsat- islactorily for them. A protest con corning this game is pending and a hearing is to be held early next week by the league advisory council.
 The Pirates not only have not lost q game this year in the league, but also went the whole season without de- feat to win last years cup. Both teams will use their usual lineups to- morrow and both teams are on edge. The Mohawks are brimming with confidence, expecting to break the lcng string of victories of the Pirates. The Pirates, on the other hand, with sim Politis in the box and Hal Beagle back n the lineup at first base, are inclined to say pooh pooh, nothing to it."
 A big crowd at 4 o'clock is certain.

 ELLMZNA UON SERIES, STARTING SLM
GIBBONS FAVORITE
 IN SATURDAY BOUT
Britlshers Expect He Will Defeat
 Jack Bloomfield

ny The Associated Press.
 London, Aug. s.=Tom Gibbons, the American light heavyweight. Is still the fayorita in the betting 10 win over Jack Bloomfield Of England in their match tomorrow in the great Wembley stadium. although the odds on the invader shortened considerably yesterday. The advance sale thus far totals some s0.0o0 seats. testlfying to the great interest in the match. The capacity of the stadium Is a7,000 and if this is reached tomorrow it will set n new worlds record for attendance at a pugilistic affair.
 One of the pre-arranged features Of the fight has been eliminated through the sudden action of the British war office in forbidding the participation of soldiers whom the promoter, Major Wilson. had engaged 10 act as ringside stewards. The sol- diers. mainly belonging to the Royal Welsh Fusileers. which regiment now is taking part in the pageant of the Empire" at the Wembley Exposition. had volunteered their services, telling Major Wilson, who commanded one battalion Of their regiment in the war, that they were willing 10 serve with out pay if allowed to see the fight.
 The promoter arranged that they be eployed as stewards. promising them the gratuities each received. Some of the soldiers of the guards regiment also were engaged. and all were keen on the job. Yesterday, according to the Daily Mail, came a surprise order that none of the sol- diers could be allowed to act as steward or in any other capacity in connection with the fight.
 Both Gibbons and Bloomfield are engaging only in light work, having their serious training. Their handlers say they are in "the pink" for the fight, which is sched- uled to begin at p. m. Special pro- visions have been made to cover the ring in the event of rain. similar shell ter being provided also for most of he spectators.

Winner Will Meet the Besse Leland City Champs in Three Game Series for Championship of New Britain - Falcons and Corbins Play First.

At meeting Of the managers Of
 the Falcons, corbin Red sor. Pirates and Besse-Leland baseball teams held
 at the |. N. C. A, last night plans
 were made for the playing of the city championship series this fall. Those
 present were John csbay of the Fal. cons. Jack Tobin and Harold corbin of the corbin Red Sox, Frank Me- Conn of the Besse-Leland team. and Charlie Miller Of the Pirates.
 It was decided to play two three game elimination series 10 determine the team 10 clash with the Resse-Le- land team for the city championship. As the season Is rapidly drawing to . close it was decided 10 start the series immediately. With this object in mind the first series will get under way Sunday when the corbin Red sox will clash with the Falcons In the first game of three game series. The winner of this series will clash with the winner of the city league. While the logical team looks like the Pirates 10 represent the city league. there Is always a chance for a slip and Charlie Miller refused 10 commit him self last evening as to his teams chances except 10 say that they have a two game lead with three games 10 play and expect 10 give a good &C., count of themselves in the remaining three games.
 The winner of the second three game series will then play the Besse- Leland team in a three game series to decide the city championship. This series will probably not get under way until the first part of September.
 The plan to eliminate contenders was decided on after a lengthy dis cussion and although it is to be ad- mitted that it has Its weak points it seemed to the representatives of the various teams that 1t was the only solution to the problem of deciding the city championship.
 It was advanced by some of the of the teams last evening that in order for the Corbin ,r Falcon team to take part in the city championship contest it will be neces- ;ary for them to win two three game series. whereas in the order for the ,ity league winner to take part in the inal series they will only have to eliminate the winner ot the Corbin- Falcon series. During these series yames will probably be played Satur- lay afternoons as well as Sundays.

 stream. On no other course have national championships been decided against the current.
 The executive committee of the N. A. A. O.. in reversing its earlier do- clsion, took into consideration the effect that the harder pull would have under the conditions of excessive heat and high humidity but decided that the elimination Of an irregular pass- age under two bridges in favor Of a straight course that Is entirely clear called for the change. The meeting lasted into the early morning hours. It was said afterwards that the row upstream might make the time in the races from 30 to 45 seconds slower, depending upon wind conditions.
 The gathering of oarsmen for the title races this year includes crews and individuals Of high class from Canada and the United States. The American Olympic combination of winners, Costello, Kelley and Yale" was missing. but w. E. Garrett Gil- more, of the Bachelors Barge club, Philadelphia. who defeated the Olympic singles champion, Jack Beresford, of England. in prelimi- nary Olympic heat only to have the decision reversed in the finals, was among the 14 entrants for the asso- citation singles title.
 Three heats of this competition were set for today. and the final to- morrow will be equivalent to the national senior singles championship. Edward McGuire Of Buffalo, last years titlist, will not defend, and the failure of Paul Costello of Philadel- phia to appear. although he was an eliminated the last of those eligible to enter as former champions.
 The intermediate singles, another event of preliminary heats today, re- ceived an added started in Charles Turner of the Argonaut Rowing club, Toronto.
 The Lachine Rowing club of La shine. F. O., was among the entrants | for the intermediate eight final. The | senior 145 pound fours. and the | senior quadruple sculls were other events on the days card.
 Light drill was the order for the senior eight-oared crews, including he Undine Barge club of Philadel- ohia, present champions; the Argo- lauts of Toronto, Canadian title win 1ers of a week ago who defeated the jndines at that time, and two New ' ork Athletic club eights.

The Besse-Leland nine will meet the Manchester state leaguers at St. Mary's field tomorrow afternoon in what should be rip snorting game.

This is the way one union man sees
