The Pittsburgh Pirates widened the breach between themselves and the fighting McGraw clan by win- ming another setto from the Phlllies while the Giants were idle. Up to the fifth Inning, the Philadelphia team led with a one run margin but in that frame, the Corsairs pounded Knight for four hits and three runs after which they won under wraps. This makes the fourth straight vic- tory of the league leaders over the Phillies and separates the Corsairs and Giants by another comfortable margin.
 In the only other game In the National circuit the Boston Braves continued it's fight to get out of the cellar by evening ID the series with Chicago which tops them by just half a game. The score of the game was 5 to 3, Bunched hits off Kauf- man gaves the Braves the game and pulled them to within two points of seventh place.
 No games were played In the American league ss the eastern teams were all making the hop from a western tour to their home parks. Interest Is centered on the two leaders, Philadelphia and Wash tngton who come to grips today nf rtinU a tu-o ao,7,a ear;ae la TIyo ell, ington. the first round of six game struggle between them within the next ten days for first place.
 At this the most crucial period of the struggle. both Washington and the Athletics had their offensives cracked on determined western front. The Senators saved sorely wounded pitching staff Saturday and Sunday by coming to the rescue with heavy batting attack that beat back Chicago and gave them 8 record on the western invasion of eight victories and six defeats.
 The Mack men, however, retired In complete disorder before the on- slaught of the Tygers after suffer- ing their tenth reverse in F games on the road.
 Philadelphia fans, however, saw hope in the crumbling of the Wash lngton pitching staff becase at the end of the present western trip, the Senators pitchers are badly in need Of rest. On the other hand. Mack's youngsters have given every evi. dence of having cracked under the strain closing the western books yes terday with six straight defeats.

VALIANT GOLF IS
 NECESSARY TODAY
All Hope Seems Lost. for Some
 Of Leading Stars Of Country

Oakmont, Pa, Sept. Rl--Valiant golf for is holes today will be nec- essary to carry at least a dozen ,oi the nations amateur leaders into the championship Is of the national tournament which started on the Oakmont Country club course yes. terday and for some, including the great Chick Evans. of Chicago, all hope seems lost,
 Elimination of several players considered leaders In the United States and Canada undoubtedly will mean reconsideration of the rul- ing made this year limiting the match play field to sixteen men where previously there had been S2. When Bob Gardner, Evans, Dexter Cummings, Roy Knepper and other of the famous mid-western stars failed to obtain places among the leaders on opening day the gallery turned to argument as to the justice of the existing ruling, fearing that with such performances removed from the field the tournament will prove less attractive,
 Francis Ouimet of Boston. D. Clark Corkran, of Philadelphia Harrison R. (Jimmy) Johnston of St. Paul, were just outside the 16 leaders in yesterdays play but good rounds to.ay will make them fair ly certain of qualification. But for Gardner, Knepper and Cummings specially the cause would seem lost for they stand at S4, six strokes higher than the sixteenth man.
 The sensation of the opening days I play was the Il round of Young Roland Mackenzie, the school boy of Washington, IS years of age Mackenzie, clipping single stroke from par, was the only man 10 tam per with the stipulated figures for the long and difficult course. The champion, Bobby Jones of Atlanta could do no better than 73. one over par, although in practice .Saturday he made the round in s7 for rec ord,
 Jesse Guilford of Boston, Jess sweetser of New York, George Won Elm. of Los Angeles, William L. Fownes. Jr., of Pittsburgh, William NJ. Reekie of Montclair, N. J., watts Gum of Atlanta, Keefe Carter Of Oklahoma City, Fred W. Knight of Philadelphia, James S. Manion ot St. Paul, Arthur w, Yates Of Ro. chester, N. Y. Lauren Upson of Fl Paso of Texas. R. l..

LEAGUE MANAGERS
 TO MEET TONIGHT
Heads Of City League to Discuss
 Important Questions

The managers of the six teams 10 the New Britain City Baseball league which finished play last Saturday afternoon. will meet tonight at 1 o'clock in the city hall, The meeting has been called by President Toill' my Aldrich through Secretary Aba Aronson to discuss a number of mat, ters which are on the boards yet.
 The most important discussion oi all will be whether the teams wil' have a banquet or some other sort of an affair to mark the end Of what has been one of the most successful baseball leagues ever conducted here in New Britain. Many of the player in the league are in favor of holding a banquet to mark the finish of inc season, while others would like to make a public affair of the presens tation of the public amusement con,' missions awards to the winners oi the league.
 The Rangers A. C, baseball team this year came out on top Of the league, and through consistent play ing in the last weeks Of play, are tlle champions of the league. Theirs was. however, no easy row to hoe in the league, and the first part Of the year saw them nearer the bottom ol tho standing than the top. About mid season, the team picked up and. after hitting its stride. nothing could step in the way of the Main street boys in their rush for the pennant.
 Next year. If the Rangers keep tc< gether the lineup they have played with all this season, they should ha considered seriously as contender for the city honors.
 Closely following them was the Orioles team. composed of some of the best all around baseball players in the city. This aggregation will tin~ ish itS second season a week from next Saturday. The Orioles organized in 1924 and since that time the players have developed into a smooth working combination which if 1t sticks together. will De heard from In the future.
 The Dragons was another strong combination that showed strength at times. This outfit, recruited from the Fafnir Ball Bearing Co.,, would have been 8 strong contender for the league honors If the lineup had re- mained intact throughout the sea- son. P. & r. Corbin was the same. Hardly any two Saturdays running did this team have the same players appear on the field. The Falcon Re- serves and the Burritts, after strong starts, played listless ball, but their plans for next year include reorsani- zation of the teams so that the conl- | binations should be stronger and more experienced.
 All in all, the City League this year, was the most successful ever conducted for any one season.

(BY NEA sERvICE)

Philadelphia, Sept. 1,-The lively ball, maker of prolific home run records and the bone of contention in the majors for several years. ap. pears to be no more.
 Don't get the impression that home runs are immediately going tc become a rarity and pitchers battles will be the rule rather than the ex. ception.
 The ball Is still lively but 1t Is less lively than it was, possibly by 25 per cent. k The inner construction of the baseball used in the majors has suf- fered a drastic change within the past month.
 What was known as the lively ball had a cork center about one. half inch in diameter. This was en. closed in two hcGlispheres of live gray rubber which were joined to. gether. making a cork center within a rubber ball,
 Around this center the finest oi woolen yarn was tightly wound anG over it a horsehide cover of the best material.
