first base. We'd have let Hank
go soon, anyway"
"Mogridge is a veteran of many
years, but he's still a great pitcher.
His pitching was one Of the main
reasons for the Senator'S success
last year. He has been going
along fine this season. Harris is
going to miss him.
Severed will be a good relief
man for Ruel, who has been over
worked, but / can't understand
why Harris didn't use Hargrave.
He's a good little catcher and a
timely hitter. He'll come in
mighty handy to the Browns"
Oh, well, it's difference of opin-
ion that goes to make boss race.
A Word to Nallin.
At best a baseball umpire's
n lot is not rose-strewn and
- this writer dislikes greatly
to cause added discomfort to an
arbitrator working earnestly at
his job. 1t is, therefore, because
he believes Mr.. Richard Nallin
needs lacking up that this appears
here.
Dick Nalliln is a good umpire
when he wants to be. And when
he doesn't want to be, he isn't.
He wasn't Sunday.
An umpire working on the bases
has no justification under the
sun for wholly ignoring the pub
lie. This Nallin did continually
all day, declining to give the Gus
tomary hand signs of his decisions.
A plate umpire raises his right
hand for strikes, his left for called
balls. If he stood there without
signing, he'd be out of step. So
with the field umpire, he should
give the regularly understood
signs. Umpire Moriarty, working
behind the plate, had to interpret
his little playmate for the benefit
of the press box.
Possibly Nallin's lunch went
down the wrong way. He may
have lately been vaccinated, there
by explaining the deafness of his
left wing. But he cannot afford
to go on long wholly ignoring
the public, which wants to know
every little thing happening out
there on the field.

= ROSS coNKLIN--

To make one hole in one is re-
rnarkable, to make two is unholy,
and to make three is positively
outrageous. Luck helps with the
first, luck and ability may achieve
the second, but nothing short Of
uncanny accuracy and timing will
materiaIize the third. And there
lives a man who has made three
holes with but q single shot for
each.
Chris J. Dunphy, Columbia star,
and one OF the few golfers in this
city who can give Roland Mac
KenZie a days work any old time,
has made three one-shot holes The
writer discoursed q few days ago
on the fact that so few ever make
a hole in one. The next day he
was slipping tea at Columbia when
that story was being discussed.
Young man, you're all wet. You
said Dunphy had never made a
hole In one. Well. he's made three
and you had better say he did or
some friends Of his win slip you
some phony refreshments. He's q
friend of mine, but I don't think
I will kill you. / have a wife and
family to think of" chirped one
timid-looking soul.
Strnightway, and with knees
aQuiver, the writer dug up Dun
phys record. He HAS made
three One-shOt holes. Three years
ago, on the sixteenth hole at
Columbia, Dunphy. always noted
for his accuracy, shot the J35
yards and watched his ball sink
for an eagle. Two years ago he
ticketed one on the eighth hole,
1876 yards, and saw It go in, and
delphia, he hit q full iron shot
1870 yards into the wind, and the
ball rolled slowly into the pin.

"The Athletics, Washington and

possibility, will be closely punched
on closing day." said Sisler.
"Chicago is due to drop and Cleve-
land won't stay up in first divi-
sion. I don't think the New York
Yanks will recover and Boston
won't be in the running"
On being informed that Eddie
Collins had shifted at the cham
pions, saying they were slipping,
Sisled added.
with due respect to Collins
judgment, l really don't see how
he figures the Senators are going
to flop. To me, they look every
bit as good as last season" 1t is
the same experienced team plus
better reserve material.
"Of course, pitchers are going
to count most. You never can
tell how an old pitching staff,
such as Washington's, will act.
Coveleskie never was good in
warm weather and Ruether hasn't
looked so effective. Vean Gregg
is over forty. A staff like that
is likely to crack at any moment.
"Then, too, much depends upon
Peckinpaugh. If he can't stand
up the team will slip somewhat
Deacon Scott is a much inferior
shortstop and hitter.
GAS a whole, however, l don't
think the Senators will slip. If
anything, Chicago is due for the
drop which / think already has
started. The White Sox lost three
out of five to Boston and that
looks bad.
81 think the White Sox have
been playing beyond their ability
They play smart baseball but the
team isn't as good as it is sup
Iposed to be. The pitching staff
is about due to crumble."

Today Washington fans are to be
riven an opportunity of watching
what Babe Ruth calls "the best
young ball player in the American
League" He is Earl Combs, who
patrols the reaches in the middle
garden for the Yankees, just now
limping along in seventh place.
Though the former titieholders
are practically out Of the pennant
race and cannot seem to win more
than two games in a row at any
time. Combs continues to play
championship ball. His latest bait
ting average was 1856 and his
fielding and daring base running
has given him columns OF pub
lefty.
In addition to Combs, the fans
are sure to be interested In looking
at the Busting Bambino himself.
This is Ruth's first visit Of the
season to the Capital. He was in a
hospital nursing tender tummy
when the Yanks called earlier this
year. He is not quite ready for his
best work now, but he insists on
staying in the lineup and doing his
best.
The world champions have won
eight out of twelve games played
with the Yankees this season, and
will do their darndest to make it
ten out Of FIFTEEN by taking two in
the three-game series opening here
today.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-R-Somc
Of the funds provided from the estate
Of the late Joel Wolf Thorne, for the

CANADA ELECTS,
liberals ARE
4 DEFEATED
No Party Will Control
House of Commons
ii This Session.

OTTAWA, Ont, Oct. 30.-tR--
Indications today were that no party
had received a working majority in
the House of Commons by yesterdays
general election. But the Liberals,
who now control the reins of govern
ment, were overthrown. The Conser-
vatives campaigning for a protective
tariff, won more seats than any other
party.
Incomplete returns indicated that
Arthur Meighen and his followers of
the Conservative had defeated half the
members of Premier W. Mackenzie
Kings cabinet and had also made
great inroads into the seats of the
Liberals and Progressives throughout
the dominion.
Premier King. who had urged a
moderate tariff, himself went down to
defeat in his own constituency.
Seven Of his ministers also were
beaten.
The latest unofficial summary Of
the ballotting given out at the pre-
mier's office showed the standing of
the parties as follows:
/ Conservatives 11S: Liberals 81 {;
Progressives 20: Independents q;
Labor q; and doubtful 6.
The membership of the House of
Commons at its next session will be
245. With the Liberals and other
parties already having secured 121
sents as against 11S for the Conserva-
tives, it will be necessary for Mr..
Meighen's party to win in all the six
constituencies yet to be heard from
to have a bare majority over all after
a new speaker Of the House is
elected.
Even If the Conservatives gain the
remaining six seats, the belief pre-
walls that with just majority over
all they will not be able to carry on
for any length OF time and that an
other general election will follow. 1t
is argued that with an opposition of
Liberals, Progressives, Independents
and Labor. Mr.. Meighen would
shortly meet with defeat.
OF the four women, who stood for
election only one was successful. She
is Miss Agnes MacPhail and again
will be the only woman member Of
Canada's Parliament.
