MOBILE PROTEST
 I IS THROWN OUT
Proxy Martin Says Crack. CTS Won Game Despite
 Ump's Error

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 3.-Mobile's protest of the Labor Day afternoon game, won by Atlanta by a score of 8 to 1, was overruled today by John D. , Martin, president of the Southern asso- ciation, who stated that while the um- pire was in error in permitting At 1anta players to bat out of the regular batting order, the error did not affect the result of the game.
 The protest was based on the action of the umpire in, permitting Pitcher Francis to follow Catcher Autry at bat dn the eighth inning, the contention be. ing that Autry had batted illegally, in asmuch as he had made the final out in the seventh inning. Manager Huhn of the Mobile club insisted that Francis should have been declared out and that Zoellers should have followed Autry at bat.
 MT. Martin said the playing rule (Section 1, Rule 51), sustained the position of the Mobile club, but pointed out that the score was to o in favor of Atlanta at the time the mistake oc- acurred, and that eliminating the scores made by Atlanta in the eighth and ninth hnnings, the error of the umpire in no .manner affected the final result of the AJall game"

MIRIAM BURNS

Kay See Star Avenges
 Defeat By Miss Cum mings In Western

NAYATT, R. l., Sept. 3.-An ex- citing match that went to three extra holes today assured a new queen m American golf this year. Miss Editn Cummings of Chicago, was detnroneo as champion by Miss Miriam Burns of Kansas City, in the second fouhu of the women's national tournament a' Rhode Island country club. v The result was the more pleasing to Miss Burns because in the recent western title event she lost the cham pionship to Miss Cummings by l2 ana 10, illness being large factor In her defeat then.
 Joe Morgan of New York, caddy for Miss Cummings, carried with her ciuos today a new horseshoe to make sure that the number of her competitors badge, thirteen, would not be uniucKy. 1t seemed for a while as if the horse shoe would be effective for the breaks were all against Miss Burns. But the better long shots of Miss Burns in heavy wind told in the end, despite poor putting and bad judgment at times in the selection of clubs for ap- preaching.
 They went to the. turn in A each having won three holes. Miss Burns missed short putt on the first hoie for a win and Miss Cummings sank an eighteen footer there for a half. /On the incoming nine Miss Cummings found trap after trap on the way from the fairway to the greens only to sink long puts or see her opponent miss short ones. At the thirteenth Miss Cummings sank 30 footer to retain a lead of one hole but Miss Burns took the next two holes in | par fours as the result of better first I and second shots. Miss Cummings squared the match at the 17th with a par three when Miss Burns used the wrong club and overshot the green.
 Miss Cummings was enabled to halve | the 18th when her opponents pitch rolled back off the green. Each went l around in S7. At the first extra hole
 Miss Burns missed putt of less than a yard for win and at the third extra hile luck was almost against her again. After drive 15 yards in front | of Miss Cummings, Miss Burns put
 her second on the green, while Miss | Cummings took four to get on. Miss
 Cummings sank in five.
 Miss Cummings sank in five. The fourth shot, by Miss Burns hung on the edge of the cup moment, then dropped
 in for victory.
 The more golf Miss Mary K. Brown
 plays the better she gets. She contin
 ued the excellent showing she has made
 in her first national golf tournement
 by defeating Miss Louise Fordyce oi
 Youngstown, O., champion, and 1
 Miss Fordyce putted poorly and passed
 out of the tournament when she failed
 in an attempt to play a stymie on tht
 seventeenth green.
 Miss Brown, who confesses that hel
 golf game is far from ideal in some re
 spects, showed much of the competitiv,
 spirit that made her national tenni!
 champion, and was quick to take ad

vantage of her opponents errors. Miss Fordyce, who had the excellent score of S1 in the qualifying round to 96 for Miss Brown, went to the turn today in 46. Miss Brown had AS, as the re- suit of one hook to the woods andsa z, but she was even at the turn in match play. .
 Miss Fordyce lost three holes when short butts went astray, and to offset | it had to do such things as make a birdie four at the 523-yard dog-leg eleventh.
 One match went to the home green for decision, Miss Bernice Wall of Osh- kosh, Wis, defeating Mrs. Henry R Watson of Canton, Mass, one up after being three down at the turn. Both were cratic, but Miss Wall was less SC on the windiest part of the course. She went around in 97 to 98 for Mrs Watson.
 The best medal of the day for nine holes was made by Mrs. Dorothy Camp bell Hurd of Philadelphia, who defeated young Miss Maureen Orcutt of Engle- wood, N. J., six and four. Miss Oreutt was A to the turn, hitting as long a ball as the former champion, but lack. ing the finesse in wind play.
 The wind also accounted for the elimination of the other youngster oi the tournament, Miss Virginia Wilson of Chicago losing to Mrs. Quentin Feitner of New York, three and two after winning the first three holes.
 Miss Glenna 'Collett of Providence had an easy time surviving as did an other former champion, Mrs. c. H Vanderbeck of Philadelphia. Miss Au drew Faust's longer hitting enabled hel l to offset the excellent short game oi Miss Elizabeth Gordon of Providence.

'SIPSEY DEFEATS
 TOWNLEY'S NINE
Statham And Johnson Pitch Great Duel In
 3-TO-O Contest

Bill Statham, manager of the Sipsey club of the DeBardeleben Coal league, elected himself to pitch the most cru cial game of the season Wednesday aft ernoon at Sipsey and he defeated the Townley nine, 3 to o. In pitching his shutout game Statham allowed but four hits and battled in beautiful duel with George Johnson, former Au- burn star. These two twfrlmg aces held their opponents at their mercy throughout the entire game with the exception of one instance in the pitch ing of Johnson when his team blew up in the sixth and Sipsey scored three runs. A
 The battle waxed evenly and hot, excluding the sixth frame, and both teams put up an excellent brand of baseball. It was one of the prettiest games of the amateur season and gave Sipsey the championship of the Coal league for the second-half of the sea- son. As a result of their victory the Sipsey team will play three-game se- ries with the Empire club to decide the season championship. The first game will be played Saturday after noon at Sipsey. Empire won the pen nant for the first half of the season.
 Statham Right
 Statham was right Wednesday and his fast ball and hooks were working with equal efficiency. He struck out nine men and Townley never seriously threatened. Not a man reached third base and the seven who did get as far as first and second were left stranded. He walked one man.
 As for Johnson he lost a hard game. He allowed but two hits outside of the sixth frame when four were collected off him. The men who scored should not haver never reached home for a fly ball in right center fell safe with Praytor barely touching it, whereas Chambers should have had the ball with ease This catch would have re- tired the side in the sixth with no scores, but the hit went for two bags and a man scored. Then Boone sin gled, and the Townley infield blew up after Powers had erred on Chamblee' s easy roller.
 The Sixth
 The sixth went as follows: Edwards first up, singled and Green sacrificed Ward singled to center, Edwards talk ing third. On what was probably de vised for double steal Ward was thrown out at second with Edwards standing flat on third. Bradley then hit long fly to center and it fell safe between Praytor and Chambers, Ed wards scored and Bradley went to sec ond. Bradley advanced on a wild pitch

CREE DEFEATS
 JIM SLATTERY

BUFFALO, N. T., Sept. 3-Harry Greb of Pittsburg, middleweight cham pion, won the decision over Jimmy Slattery of Buffalo in a six-round bout here tonight. Greb weighed 1631a and Slattery 163 pounds.
 l' The fight was all Greb's after the sec ond round. In the opener Slattery rushed the fighting fiercely and gave as good as he got in the exchanges. The Champions persistent windmill attack wore the Buffalo boy down, however, and the final rounds Slattery was per ceptibly tiring, although he went into the exchanges gamely and slashed out with occasional brilliant rallies that got through Greb's guard.
 The champion was undamaged at the finish. Slattery received a cut over fhe yight eye, The fighting was fast Throughout.
 Despite Slattery's local popularity the decision was a popular one and Greb was given an ovation.

 BASEBALL SEASON

CLANTON, Ala, Sept 3.-Clanton closed it's season with a shut out against the fast L. and N. Pan American base ball club of the Birmingham city league, by a score of 8 to 0.
 B. Lewis pitching for Clanton al- lowed only one man to reach third base and five hits, while Hobert Hen derson for the visitors allowed 12 hits, Lewis struck out ten men and Hem derson one. Thompson with 3 hits out of four times up, R. Lewis and Hayes with two out of four each, and Parrish with one out of three and Clark with two out of four did practically all of the hitting for the visitors. The fea- +tures of the games were four fast double plays, three being made by Clanton, and the work of Roberts in the outfield for Clanton.
 Clanton won 28 games and lost 10 during the season, losing only one out of the last IA games. A strong or Sganization is already under way for a fast team next season.

game is the one which he will have to decide.
 Provided the contest is thrown out the teams will have to meet again on Southern Bell diamond to replay the game. If it is declared no game an extra game will have to be played to decide the title provided that Alabama Power defeats East Lake Saturday.
 Tied Up Tight And there is another hitch. Both teams have one more game scheduled. Southern Bell was to play Sayreton but that team has dropped out so they win by, forfeit To keep pace with them the Powermen must beat East Lake. Failing in this they will have lost all, regardless of the game now in question.
 Meanwhile plans are being made for an suspicious opening and big series starting next Monday, which will de- eide a city champion. Games have been mapped out for every day of the week, double-headers each day, and they will be played on various diamonds over the city.
 The race this year in the city league has been the hottest in history, prob ably, and the post-season series prom ises to be very evenly fought out. All teams are strong and the winner will have to overcome some stiff opposition

 INITIAL PRACTICE
Wade Issues Call For Candidates On Denny Field
 Thursday Afternoon

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Sept. 3.-(Spe- qial. .)-Capr. Pooley Hubert, driving his famous skeet, September Morn" arrived this afternoon. It is almost needless to say that the immortal Country" Oliver, arrived at the same time. "Pooley" and Country" are known far and wide, as Damon and Pythias of gridiron. It is said that oh one occasion "Pooley" attempted a cross country trip without Country" and September Morn" actually baked.
 Hubert and Oliver both seemed in fine condition. Coach Russ Cohen, the man who made Burke county, Geor- 9ia, famous, is willing to stake his rep utation that the Panola flash makes good as linesman. In previous years Oliver has played in the backfield. Head Coach Speedy" Wade is heartily in favor of the change, for in spite of the fact that Hubert calls signals and for that reason Oliver has never had any the worst of it, fate has decreed it seems. that Pooley in his endeavor to help Country or Country in his great desire to vindicate Pooley's judgment, that something unexpected should hap pen to make the play go wrong. Now Oliver has promised to charge hard and low and to make great holes for Hu- bert to blow through.
 Denny field was the scene this aft nynoon of two hours practice, although Whde had not asked any of the boys to report until Thursday.
 In addition to Hubert and Oliver, Buekler, Mack Brown, Jimmy John son and Winslett of the regulars were all present. Coaches Crisp and Cohen gave individual instruction, while Wade had the entire squad performing and side stepping was kept uN for a solid hour, with frequent requests for more speed"
