DETROIT, ST. LOUIS
 FIGHTING IT OUT
In Bitter Battle for Third
 Place Today

New York, Sept. 26. Pl-The pos sibility of Detroit and St. Louis set tling their long and bitterly con- tested American league struggle for third place in the closing series of the schedule between the two teams loomed strongly today.
 The margin of two and one-hali games which separated the third place Browns from the Tigers at the close of play last week remained unchanged today as each club yes- terday recorded its fourth victory in six starts this week. With both teams hitting hard and getting fair pitching, interest of fans in the two cities has begun to center on a three game battle next week in St. Louis, where Ty Cobb will lead his cohorts against the men of Sisler October 1, 2 and 8, in final drive 10 dis lodge the Browns.
 Rallying in the eight to tie the score In the ninth to win by a single run, 4 to 3, the Browns yesterday profited by the good pitching of Dixie Davis to defeat the Champion Senators. Detrot's easy victory over the Boston Red Sox was triumph of heavy hitting, 10 to 5, Manusch and Heilmann leading the assault with three hits apiece.
 A six-run spurt in the eigth frame gave the Cleveland Indians a 9-5 verdict over the Athletics, while in the only National League game the retreating Brooklyn Robins dropped their twelfth straight 10 Cincinnati as the Reds touched off a whitening salvo of nineteen safe blows for an 1s-7 triumph.

 Few women golfers in the land have played consistently better Golt all year than the former Chicago star, and she will enter the national here d very feared contender
 Ten years ago Elaine Isoscnthal was one of the best golfers in tile country, and easily the best in the middle west. In 1914 she was run ner up in the national to Mrs. Ar mold Jackson, losing one up after nip-and- tuck battle that was colored by the dramatic touch of doubt all the way.
 In 1915 she won the wonlcns western and three wars later she repeated. That was her last serious fling at tournament competition un- til year ago, when she reappeared in the western and won a three-day medal play test at the Glen View club, Chicago, outstroking a, big field of notables, with total of 256,
 This year with another victory in the western 10 her credit and long string of medal scores in the low sos, achieved over various testing courses, the girl who was winninE5 championships more than a decade ago seems pointed for additional glory.
 A victory for her here in the na- tlonal would be but little less sur- prising than was the astonishing comeback of Mrs. Hurd last year at Providence.
 Always in commenting on the possibilities of play in q women's national you must consider Glenna Colett. Shot for shot, she is the superior of any woman player in the game, yet she has won the title only once. This was in 1922.
 Picked to repeat the following year, she was forced to stand on the side-lnes and watch the crown go to Edith Cummings.
 Picked again last year, she got only as far as the semi final round, where she met and was conquered by Miss Browne. An indecisive competitive disposition seems to be her chief drawback.
 What will Mrs. Alexa Stirling Fraser do this year? She was not in active competition last season. There are no shot-makers more competent than the former Atlanta girl when she Is on her game.
 The records show she was good enough to win the national three times in a row, a record nobody else mas even approached. Her play in the Canadian women's champion ship this month seems to indicate she is in her old-time form.
 It is doubtful If Edith Cummines will play; if she dooes she will not last long. The Chicago maid has played little golf this year and seems to have lost interest in the championship.
 There will be the usual number of youthful prodigies entered, chief among whom will be Maureen Orcutt of the New York district. q fine little player who is irrevocabIv headed for big game but who is too inexperienced to win here.

.Abu,;t a Whale

What would King George do with a whale if he were presented with
 one" was the question prompted re-
 ccntly by the chase of one of these
 mammals Of the deep off the Eng fish coast by fishermen who sought
 to capture it for their ruler
 The idea of presenting a whale to the king is in accordance with an
 act dating back to the days of King Edward II, under which ali whales and sturgcons with one exception caught around the coasts Of Great Britain belong to the rcigning mon arch.
 King George has rarely had the refusal of whale, but he has had several surgeons presented to him during his reign, the first such gift
 being made at the time of his coron- ation. X few days ago the king
 visited the Cardigan bay district in Wales and. according to the ancient custom, was presented with a stur- | s pll W illtIl lIttI bttH ltih'u DlL llt Welsh coast.
 The exception noted in the old act is in the ease of sturgeon caught in the Thames river above London bridge. Any sturgeon captured there
 belongs to the lord mayor after the city coroner has held an inquest on il and duly certified that it is @tur- Econ, and that it Was caught within the area of tn" mayors jurisdiction over the Thames. Although it is he habit of the sturgeon, like the I-&imon, 10 swim upstream to spawn, there 8r" only a few instances on record where the Thames has 2irld- cd a municipal sturgeon for the menu of inc staid old Mansion House where the lord mayor resides.

STAR WRESTLER
 IS PITCHING HAY
Harry Steel Is Working on His
 Fathers Farm

Canton, O., Sept 2G.--Wrestling with humanity in the form of OIym- pic competition and wrestling with hay on his dads farm are matters of wide divergence, but they count decidedly in inc life of Harry Steel of East Sparta, o.
 Steel, q graduate Of Ohio State university, where he won the West = ern Conference medal for eXccllency in scholarship, holds the Olympic heavyweight championship. Immo- diately upon his return from France the Buckeye youth headed for par ental precincts, donned overaIls and started 10 work in the fields and he is bringing in the crops daily.
 Steel graduated from the Ohio State Agricultural school. He played tackle in footb for three seasons and explained the wrestling team of the Buckeye institution last winter when it won the Western Conference championship. Ho stands six feet three and weighs 21O pounds. He's 25.
 Steel is not going 10 capitalize his reputation by turning professional. He is undecided as 10 his plans but he figures on retaining classification as an agriculturist.
 Steel made such a fine showing in the Olympic trials in New York that he was taken to France as an alternate. He answered the call of emergency and figured in four matches. He won them all. He drew a bye in the first round of the heavyweight rivalry
 He said the hardest match was with the Switzerland entry.

 Willow Brook park will be d mec- ca for action this afternoon when the New Britain high school team will open its season against the team of the East Hartford high school. The Franklin square team will be handicapped to q consider a ble extent because of the loss Of two of it's leading backfleld men, and because of the crippled condition of some Of the remaining members of the team.
 Gennett and Bray who are sched- ulcd 10 play in the backtied are not in the pink of condition. The for mer's ankle causes him a great deal of trouble while the latter has an abscessed jaw which reminds him of it's presence at all times. Me Gratl1 who was to start at guard is also out of the lineup with an in- jured leg.
 Because of the large squad of good prospects that has been practicing daily the task of filling in the va cancies was not as great as was cx- pected. However, it was not through lack of effort that Coach Cassidy was able to get team together that would make a good showing this aft ernoon.
 The backfcld substitutes are Gour- son ard Gordtn, the regular ends, and Johnnie Wolfe, who reported for practice for the first time this week. Anselmo and Garston are the line suhstitutions.

Tomorrow's Lincups.

The fast Adams, Mass, football eleven winners of the Western Mass achusetts championship in 1924, will meet thc All-New Britains Sunday afternoon at Willow Brook Park, at 2:30 o'clock. The Bay State team, according to Manager Charles Cham pion, is coming to the Hardware City with plenty of confidence of holding the locals to a small score, thus du- pGcating the feast Of last season, when the home team narrowly put across a victory. 30, In the back field of the Adams team will be Schneider and Winchester, who played here last season. Both boys showed plenty of fine football with the visitors last season. Hiscr, 0 230- pound guard, will also appear with the Massachusetts team. Wheeler and Wooster, former stars at Boston University, will be in the Adams lineup, as will Mcconnell, a former speedy end at Alfred University. Cole, star tackle at the Paving academy, will play one of the tackle positions. Manager Champion has written 10 the local management that he has hopes of signing Andy Lobo, laet year a backfcld star with Mid- dlcbury college eleven, and that the player will probably be seen in ac- tion against the All-New Britains. Goldberg, a fleet backfeld man, will be with the visitors also.
 Manager Edward J. Daley has re- coiyrd a telegram from Bill Warner, announcing his recovery from an ill., ness, and that he will be her on Sun- day for tho game with Adams. With Warner and Donlin at tackle, the lorals' line should be q bulWark of strength. Stan. Vosc, who was out of last Sundays game because of q misunderstanding will surely appear in Sundays game. VoSe and Hum phries are pair of guards that closely resemble each other in looks and playing.
 There has been somewhat of a de- mand during the week for the ap- pearance of Al Blanchard at end for tho locals, and tho coaches will, it is believed, acquicsce to the sentiment and give the speedy ball hawk" a chance in Sundays game. It is also expected that Red" Stuedtner. the Ncridcn boy, will also break into the lineup Sunday.

JOHN COOLIDGE
LOSING FIGHT
FOR HEALTH
Heart Blocks Of Last Spring
Recur in More Severe
Form.

PLYMOUTH. VT, Nov. 19.-tP)--
Colonel John C. Coolidge, father of the
President, has lost ground in his fight
against a heart block" and bladder
trouble. DR.. Albert NJ. Cram. who
last night admitted that his patient
had failed slightly, hopes that the
rugged constitution which aided Col
onel Coolidge to quick recovery after
an operation last June again will
stand him in good stead.
Although DR.. Cram makes no eff
fort TO be-little the illness, he looks
for ultimate improvement.
Major James F. Coupal, presiden-
tial physician, who came TO Plymouth
in connection with the earlier illness
of the S2-year-old patient, is keeping
in touch with things here.
Whether Major Coupal will be sent
TO Colonel Coolidge's bedside again ap-
parently depends on developments of
the next few days, and the wishes OF
the President.
The heart block spells first be-
came an object of concern last April
but their present recurrence is in
much more severe form.
Here in this Vermont hamlet. all
is tender solicitude for the sufferer,
and village folk are telling many
stories that reveal the characteristics
that have endeared him to them. The
guard who watches the road that
leads to the porch of the quaint old
farm house has been kept busy answer
ing anxious questions. but to all ex-
cept those whose missions are urgent.
he refuses admission. There will be
no departure from this procedure I'M
til Mr.. Coolidge's health has material
ly improved.
