MANNING BROTHERS
 ID MEET IN FINAL
Clarence Manning Wins Over
 Farmer Alter Uphill Fight

Clarence w. Manning, defending golf champion of the Shuttlelneadow club, battled his way into the 1924 finals yesterday by winning from Malcolm Farmer, , up and to play, in the second semi-final match. This turns the tournament into a family affair, for his opponent in the finals will be his brother, David R. Manning, who disposed of NJ. Hayden earlier in the week. The wind-up. which will be a S6-hole match, will probably be played to- morrow.
 Clarence Manning won yesterday only by display of steadiness and courage when the game was going against him. Farmer took an early lead and at the 7th tee was two up. Here Manning made his stand and captured the next two holes. Ii was all even at the turn and the 10th was halved, but Manning took only two strokes on the l1th and went into the lead.
 After two more holes had been halved, Manning swept further into the lead by winning the l4th and 18th. Farmer rallied and took the 18th. but could do no betterAt than halve the 17th and so lost the match. The scores: {,

New York, Sept, 20,-ro accom- plish the unperformed feat of win ming four consecutive major ltague pennants, the Giants nedd only to win seven of their remaining eight cotests even if either Brooklyn or Pittsburgh should capture all of their remaining games.
 If the Giants win only six, the Pirates could win the pennant by a margin of one-half game by taking the 10 yet on their schedule, Tho Robins, by capturing their seven left to play, would then tie New York.
 A trick of the schedule which brings the three contending teams into competition in the final rush fa vors the Giants. If the Pirates and Robins each win one of their two games to be paved today and tomor- row, the Giants could lose two of their series to Mcketchnie's team and still come home by capturing only five of the eight remaining on their schedule today.
 If either Pittsburgh or Brooklyn makes a double killing of the other the losing team will be eliminated.
 The Senators as yet have no such comforting margin. If Washington oses one game the Yankees can tie Sor the lead by taking their remain ing contests. Each has nine to play.
 Events of yesterday, however, tn- dicated a tendency on the part of the world champions to crack while Washington sailed gloriously through St. Louis under Is to score. Sad Sam Jones, with a to lead in the eighth. was set upon by ferocious Tiger pinch hitters and driven from the box as the score was tied. In the ninth Joe Dugan threw wild and Hoyt, after passing two men pur- poeey, permitted Haney's single for winning run of a to victory. The Tigers, out of its are making it as hard for the Yankees as they did for the Senators.
 Nehf twirled the Giants to an easy tO to 4 win over Chicago, while Pittsburgh downed Brooklyn in the first of the six games( with the Robins and Giants which afford the youthful westerners a fighting westerners a fighting chance for the pennant. Yde came through with a { to 2 victory, largely due to the brilliancy of Cuyler and Wright.
 The center fielder made three hits and stole three bases. Wright hit a home run and accepted 10 chances at shortstop. Each checked & Robin rally with sensational play.
 The Giants win cost tho services of Heinie Groh, who was carried from the field in the eighth with an injured knee. The hurt, however, was not thought to be serious.
 Cincinnati defeated Philadelphia g to 5 and went into fourth place in the National league as the Cubs lost Clyde Day, a recruit, held Boston to six hits and won to battle for the Cardinals. Cleveland, using re- cruits in most positions, lost 12-in- ming fray to the Red SoX, to 3.
 The American league game be- tween Philadelphia and Chicago was postponed by rain.

JOHNSON EASILY
 EARNED H0NORS
His Selection as Most Valu,
 able" Is Popular One
tBy Billy Evans)

The selection Of Walter Johnson as the most valuable player in the American league for 1924 Is a most popular one. ..
 Sisler. by his phenomenal work in 1922, when he exeelled in all de- partments of play, richly deserved the honor.
 Last season Babe Ruth was the unanimous choice of the committee of sport writers making the selec- ton. The Babe pulled a remarkable comeback.
 Waiter Johnson draws the honor in the third year of competition.
 It is fitting that Johnson, after IT years of remarkable pitching, should be so honored. This has been one of his best years. He won on his merits.
 Now if Johnson could get whirl at the big series, it would be the end of a perfect season. Washington is fighting hard to win the right 10 take part in the baseball classic Johnson is the teams inspiration,
 The best compliment that could possibly be paid Johnson is the atti- tude of the rival players of the American league. have never heard an opposing player say an unkind word about him.
 The big fellow is popular favor- tn it, 1,i prAfp5sinn | ilrn tha funa the players would like to see him In action in a world series.
 No player on the ball field can make enemies more quickly than the pitcher. He is in position to do many things.
 It is the pitcher who humbles the batter by making him pop up or strike out in pinch. Very often the batter doesn't approve of the tactics used to bring about his dis comtiture.
 In the 20 years ] have been um- piring major league ball, Walter Johnson stands out as the speediest Of all pitchers I have ever seen in action.
 Opposing batters do not relish fac ing pitcher with great speed. If the pitcher happens to be a trifie wild it makes the situation all the more unpleasant.
 While Johnson has always been one of the most effective pitchers in the game, largely because of his fast ball, he could have made him. self almost unhittable had he carad to resort to unsportsmanIike tactics.
 With many pitchers the bean ball" has long been weapon of in- limitation. The bean balf' is the throwing of q fast one close 10 the hatters head, not to hit him but merely throw a scare into him.
 Had Johnson resorted to such tac- tics he would have been even more effective, but would have gained the enmity of his profession. help his effectiveness.
 With the American league uin- pircs, Johnson is as great favorite as with the players. The reason- he does the pitching and lets the umpires call the plays.
 
 Baseball fans and the members Of his profession are delighted at the selection of Johnson as the most valuable player of 1924 in the Amer ican league.
 It is questionable if a more popu- lar choice will ever be agreed on for that honor.
