UNIQUE SPECTACLE
Helen Wills and Betty Ryan Finish Recent Tennis Match in Stocking Feet on Wet Court.
(Bv NEA Service)

New York, Aug, S-The recent tennis match between Helen Wills and Betty Ryan at Seabright offered something q bit out of the ordinary in the annals of the game.
 Due to the waterlogged court, both participants discarded their shoes in order to get about the turf better, finishing the match in their stocking feet.
 Miss Ryan. was the first to start the innovation, removing her shoes early in the clash. Miss Wills fol- lowed suit during the second set.
 The match was conducted under very unfavorable conditions. In fact. the American champion had protested the playing of the sets be- fore she went out on the court.
 At any rate, the sight of the two contestants going through the match sans footwear offered some- thing unique to the gallery, some thing quite unusual.

GIANTS M DANCER OF
 LOSING SECOND PLACE
Cincinnati Beats Champions Nose Out Robins Athletics Split Twin Bill With Cleveland d-Cardi- nals Blank Washington Senators-Detroit Shades Yankees-Whte Sox Shut Out Boston.

New York, Aug. s tP'--Tho jaws of the trap which have been closing on the second place New York Giants from two sides were clamp ed sANre tenaCiously on the National league champions today
 Pressure applied by third place Cincinnati and leading Pittsburgh yesterday removed the New York clubs three and one half games from first place and reduced their hold on second place to but two one one half games. 4 second victory in as many days over the Giants by Red land warriors marked the fifth straight reverse suffered by he Me- Grsw entry.
 The champions yesterday were able to score only one run off high class pitching by Donohue, while Cincinnati counted twice against Barnes on smashes hy Roush and Walker, the latter of whom scored the winning run on an intield out after tripling.
 Hard and prolific hitting, reaCh- ing its peak in a three-run ninth inning rally. enabled the Pirates to win an uphill battle against Brook lyn, 10 to 3. Six pitchers failed 10 check the steady fusllade of drives on both sides throughout the game.
 Charley Grimm's extra base hit ting gave the Cubs 3 to 1 verdict over the Phillies. Blake supported the defensive power of the first base mans bludgeon with fve-hit pitch ing.
 After playing loose ball in the opening game of double header with Cleveland, won by the Indians st 1o-4, the Philadelphia Athletics recovered behind sensational pitch ing by Eddie Rommel and slightly increased their American league lead over Washington by scoring a shut out triumph, to 0. A home run by Simmons clinched the game for the Mackmen who made only three hits of Pitcher Uhle, one more than the Indians could pry from the delivery of the steady Rommel Only 65 min utes were required to play the con- test.
 Washington could get but four hits off Giard, who hlanked the worlds champions, to c, with ex- celent iniield support topped by five double plays.
 Dauss of Detroit anl Lyons of Chi cago added two additional mound classics to the days liberal COntribu- tions of unusually good twirlng in the American, the former limiting the Yankees 10 five hits and the latter holding Boston to three. be troit shaded the Hugmen, 10 1, while the White Sox scored their second straight shutout at the Hub, 2 to Q.

(Bv Joe Williams)

One reason why the Hagens the Sarazens and the Barneses rule the roost in professional golf is that they have the class.
 Another is that they so in for tournament competition in a seri- ous way. This comes closer to be- ing their business than teaching the game, which is supposedly their chief and primary contribution to the sport.
 Very few people ever heard of Willie McFarlane, the bespectac cled customer. until he beat. Bobby Jones in a plsy-off to win the open cham pionship this year.
 Yet McFarlane has always been a fine golfer, easily capable of holding his own in any tournament against any sort of opposition. You never heard of him before because he shunned the tournaments.
 Either it was not a. simple matter for McFarane to leave his duties at his club or else the lure of cham pionship play left him singularly calm and unresponsive. At any rate, the records show he has played in only two championships in five years.
 You find him mentioned first in the records in 1920 as a starter at Inverness, the tournament which witnessed the dramatic collapse of Harry Nardon in a clustering gale, and the unlocked victory of his slugging compatriot Ted Ray.
 Tied for Eighth Place That year he was tied for eighth place at 299 and, oddly enough, the player he shared the position with was young Bobby Jones, who was 1 like MacFarlane, making his first start in the American open. Mac Farlane was good enough in that tournament to outscore Hagen, Mac. Donald, Barnes, Loos, Sarazcn Brady and Melhorn.
 After that affair McFarlane was forgotten. He went back 10 his clut at Port Washington and resumed 1 the routine business of instructint | the members in the subtle science: of keeping the head down, the Jeff arm straight and pivoting rhythmi' cally. And in the meantime the bit tournament went to others: tC Barnes in 1921. Sarazen in 1922 | Jones in 1923 and Walker in 1924.
 Now who is there to say that Mac | Farlane would not have been con l spicuous name In these subsequen tournaments if he had played? Anc who is there to say that there aren' plenty Of others in the land pre- Cisely like MacFarlane-very splen did scorers who stay away iron tournaments because they are faith full 10 their teaching tasks?
 Case of Black Similar
 You may recall that Grand Dad Black created a somewhat simila sensation at Skokie in 1922 when h finished a bare stroke out of frs place. And before that tournamen no one ever heard of him beyonl the boundaries of his native west
 Like MacFarlane, Black had pre- ferred to stick around home.
 One of Jim Corbett's fayorit theories concerning boxing is tha no matter who is champion there always someone somewhere In tn country capable of beating him. you can find him and get him in tn ring,
 This same theory can be loglcall applied to golf.

FAIL ID AGREE ON
 CITY TITLE GAMES
Representatives of Six Clubs Find Time Too Short for Series

A great gathering of baseball rep rcS"ntati(es was held in the Her ald" office last night and the sub icct discussed was "A series Of games to decide ihe championship of New Britain" The discussion took place as per schedule and aI- though hundreds of suggestions were offered, nothing definite was done 10 further along the cause.
 Six teams were represented, the Corhiu Red SoX by John Tobin and Paul snyder; the Pirates by Man ager Kenneth Saunders and Coach Charles Miller; the Falcons by Manager Joe SaNiski and F. shee- han; the kensiaEton by Man ager Buckley and "Ripper" Mc- keon; the Landrrs Ail-Stars by Manager John and Tommy Basil and the Rangers by Manager Ab- lahamson.
 The meeting opened nearly on time with the gathering Of baseball notabIes all waiting for the discus sion 10 open. John Tobin of the Red SoX offered numerous sugges- tons as to the why's and wherefors and although all were of the opinion that a series should be held, all seemed inclined to believe that the time left in the season was too short for siX teams to play it out and at the same time give every outfit a fair shake in the deal It narrowed down 10 the point that there are only two available home diamonds whereon the games can be played and these are the IS, Marys diamond which is leased by the Falcons and the kensington diamond down on Percival avenue. It was thought that other fields in the city would not be paying pppo- sitions. This leaves the two home lots the only places whereon at least Is games would have to be played to finish the series with the grand old national game making way for football
 Elimination series and a round robin play were discussed but rack brains as best they could. the man. agers could see no way out of the difficulty with six teams entered. At the same time, sensing that it would not be fair to ask any of the teams to drop out. the meeting l finally driftcd off the subject and it was clearly to be seen that nothing would be doing for the present on a city series.
 The meeting was, however fruit full of one thing and that is that the managers of the leading teams
 in the city are anxious to give the | fans a battle royal to see which out it rates the title of city champion and 1t may develop that the man 1 agers may individually arrange for games with teams they may select
 as worthy of opposition and hold an impromptu series before the sea son closes.
 The meeting was also graced by | the presence of "Chuck" Smedley | but he declined on more than one occasion to have any part in the discussion other than to say that he was there to listen and not to
 make a speech. Anyway, good | time was had by all and the party broke up after about two hours of talkfest. There were no fights and everyone was friendly after the meeting, which goes to say a great deal for the bunch.
 The hope still exists that the
 leading teams in the city will fly al
 each other to wind up what has
 been a good season all around.

DONARUE TO REFEREE
State Athletic Commissioner Accepts Invitation to OfriCiate at K. of C.. Track Meet.

New Haven, Aug. S--State Ath- lntiC Commissioner Tom Donahue of New London has accepted an invi- tation to act as honorary referee at the state wide amateur boxing Carni- val which will be held here as one of the features of the program for the First Annual Field Day and Ath- letiC meet of the state council of the Knights of Columbus at Lighthouse Point park on Saturday, August %, according to an announcement made here today by the committee in charge of arrangements, Commits sioner Donahue is prominent mem- her of the k. of c. council at New London and will come here to attend the meet with a large number of other, members of that council.
 Entry blanks for the sixteen track and field events and for the boxing carnival on the Knights program have flooded in from all parts of the state during the past week and the number of entries is now so large that Director of Games Tom Tracy of the Connecticut A. A. |. is predicting that the number Of competitors for the prize trophies in the various events will exceed the 200 mark. In other words, the competitive field will be the largest which has taken part in a Connecti- cut athletic meet in several years. Thus far Waterbury and New Haven head the list with the largest num- bcr of entries with Hartford close, third. While the open A. A. U. con- tests are drawing the largest num- Der of competitors, the girls and boys events are also proving large attractions. The relay events are going particularly big.
 The committee has made arrange mCnts tO put the quarter mile Ctndcr path, the 100 yard straight-away, and the jumping pits at the park in the best of condition for the meet and it would therefore not be sur prising to see new amateur state marks set In some of the events, A new boxing ring is 10 be erected especially for the Kaccy bouts.

smith Nathan Hale


 The Smith team started out to make their standing show at least two wins yesterday by taking the Nathan Haes into camp to the tune of IS 10 s. The Nathan Haes were no match for the boys from the lower end, most of the players do- ing more grabbing than talking, The game was enhanced however. by the arbiting of Umpire Phil Ross of the City league who called them right every time.
 Smith started off with a bang, getting three across in the first frame, following it up with three more in the second and then in the third, they batted around 10 score eight. Nathan Hale woke up in the fourth and pushed across four counters. They made another spur' in the fifth to count twice more while Nathan Hale put three more across in the sixth. Another run for Smith in the eighth made their to- tai IS for the game.
 Nathan Hale tried hard to rally in the ninth, but they succeeded in getting only two runs of a much needed big score and Smith turned out a sure winner.
 Bellomo started in the box for Nathan Hale but he was relieved in the third by Macarella who pitched a sweet game for his team. Dob kowski worked the entire route for Smith and he turned ip nice per tormance, ragged support behind him letting in the majority of Nathan HaIe's runs kalnik and Villa both turned in nice fielding games for the Smith team while MaCarclla helped greatly in keeping the score down by neat playing at second and in the box. The hits were evenly divided, Smith getting eight to Nathan Hale's six. Loose fielding marred the contest through out.
