Rogers Hornsby, playing manager and present day star, it pitting his knowledge against that of three vet erans now too old to perform and he has made gallant fight in reaching a deadlock with the world champion Pirates. The three clubs at the top have the cream of pitch ing in the circuit but 1t would seem that Hornsby has a slight advantage in this department with such per- formers as Rhem, Sherdel, Keen, Haines and Reinhart
 Bill McKechnie and Fred Clarke, driving the Pirates toward their sec ond pennant, have sent away their captain. Max Carey, who was credit ed with winning the worlds series last year by many critics. Jack Hem dricks, struggling to gain another flag for the Cincinnati Reds, has been aided materially by the veteran submarine hurler, Carl Mays, but his other crack moundsmen have failed to meet expectations.
 Rhem carried the Cardinals into a tie for first place by beating the Giants yesterday, to 2, with South worth and Douthit hitting oppor- tunely behind him. Rain prevented the Pittsburgh game.
 Adolfo Luque kept Cincinnati in the running by allowing the Boston Braves five hits and beating them, 5 to 2. Heavy hitting by Walker, Roush and Bressler aided him and he registered two singles on his own account.
 Brooklyn gained a victory over Chicago, to 1, the game being halted at the end of the fifth by rain. The Dodgers scored their runs on three hits.
 Bob Shawkeys excellent relief pitching and the busy bats of his mates gave the Yankees a 10 to verdict over the St. Louis Browns, Lou Gehrig leading the hitters with two triples and single. Both Win Ballou of the Browns and Sam Jones of the Yankees were knocked out of the box in the fourth.
 Philadelphia suffered severe jolt in it's battle with Cleveland for sec ond place in the American by falling before Detroit twice, to 2 and to 1. Whitehill granted the Macks only six safeties in the first game and in the second they were unable to overcome an early Tyger lead.
 The streak of the Boston Red Sox was stopped at six victories by Urban Faber of Chicago, to 1, who allowed seven scattered hits and gave no passes.

 STRONG AT FINISH
Baltimore Loses Leadership in
 International League

New York. Aug. 21 P-Leader-
 ship of the International league has
 gone from pole to pole" or from 1 Baltimore to Toronto and Dan How
 ley's Maple Leafs, only Canadian team in class AA or major league
 baseball, appears strong for the final
 rush.
 | Toronto has been outhit by three other clubs in the circuit. accord ing to averages issued today but has done better at the plate than Balti- more, which at least is satisfaction. Rochester leads in team batting with percentage of .304. Buffalo is sec- ond with 1902 and Newark has an even 300. Baltimore has won 12 of it's 20 games with Toronto this sea- son.
 Lew Fonseca, Newark second baseman, is heading back to the major eagues with one of the best years he has known and one of the best any player has known in the International. Fonscca was obtained from the Phillies and had seen seN- eral years of service in the National | league.
 Lew leads the hitters with .390 and has rapped out the most base hits, 1S4. He is tied with Herman Layne of TorQnto, recently pur- chased by Pittsburgh, in the mold ing of three base hits, with @3, and he has registered 34 stolen bases, leading in that department by wide margin. Lafe Thompson Of Buffalo has scored the most runs, 121. and Joe Brown of Newark the most doubles, 3S.
 Jimmy Walsh of Buffalo is only two points behind Fonseca in bat ling with .3SS. Other leading hit ters are: Williamson. Syracuse, .359; Murphy, RochesterC now with Pitts burgh) .S56; Walker, Baltimore-Ior- onto, .354; Mullen, Toronto, '3oS' Head. Rochester, .S52; Sheedy, Bal timore, $50.

CORBW RED SOX START
 SERIES WITH KENSZNGTON
Both Teams Are Primed For Stiff Encounter-Ker- sngton All Over Its Blow Up of Last Week. Orioles and Rangers to Start Three-Game Contest For Junior Championship to Play K. of c. Team From West Springfield Here.

i The main attraction for the base
 ball fans of this city tomorrow aft ernoon is the opening game of the series between the ll-Kensington and Corbin Red sox baseball teams The contest will be staged in Ken sington and will start promptly at o'clock with Eddie Crowley and Rip" McKeon umpiring. | Both teams are prepared for a tough battle. Kensington has fully | recovered from the breakdown suf- fered in the game with the Falcons last week and the players are all { confident of setting the Sox back, On the other hand, a more confident crew of players than the Corbin team would be hard to find and to [ all apparances, the game tomorrow will be real classic.
 Managers Tobin and Buckley have both submitted a list of players who will be eligible to play in the series and none other than these will be allowed to take part. The Corbin players are as follows: Berg, Flynn, Powell, Buckland, Murray. Baray, Carrazzo, A. Blanchard, ". Wojack, Fitzpatrick, Barnett, Jervis. Smith, Snyder. J, Sheehan, and Huband.
 The Kensingtons are as follows. Patrus, Jasper, Beagle, Begley, Mc- Cormick Sheehan, Weir, Greco, Politis, Ziegler, sullick, Hayes, Yale. Fields and Bucholtz.
 Kensington will be strengthened tomorrow by the return to the line up of ''Yiggs" Patrus who was un- able to play last Sunday because of a spike wound. His leg has healed sufficiently to allow him to play, it is said and he will give the team the necessary steadying influence. to give it the necessary power. Bus service for fans from Upson's Cor ner to the baseball field will be fur nished as. usual,
 The Orioles and the Rangers will start q series tomorrow afternoon at o'clock at the Pioneer field on Ellis street for the junior semi-pro championship of the city. Both teams are prepared for a hot battle and are primed for q hard fight
 Paul will umpire the games which will go two out of three and 1t is expected that this, junior series though it is, will rival the Corbin Red SoX-Kensington game for in- terest.
 Falcons ys. Kaceys
 The Falcons will have an especial ly good attraction for the home fans tomorrow afternoon at St. Mary's field when the K. of c. team of West Springfield comes to this city to at tempt to lower the colors of the To- cal team. The visitors have a line up packed with stars and the team is considered one of the strongest in. the vicinity of Springfield. The Falcons will have to be in tip top form for the battle, but that means little to Manager Joe Neniski be- cause he feels that his squad is al ways in good trim.

BRITISH QUALIFYING
American System of Sectional Try outs Not Popular With English Golf Pros.

The system of qualifying by sec- .tion for the British open golf cham pionship tried this year in line with the American system, has not work ed out to the satisfaction of the ma jority of English professionals. At least there is a strong sentiment among them for return to the method of two qualifying rounds by all entrants on links adjacent to the course on which the years cham- pionship is played.
 A change was suggested, however, in that the qualifying number be fixed at 100 and any who may tic for the hundrtdth place, instead of eighty, as before.

They Made Money

Martin enjoyed Q limited vogue. He had a fine right-hand punch and was game. Bronson made plenty of money for and with him. Mar tins most impressive gesture was made in the old Madison Square Garden the night he fought and whipped Bill Brennan. The records do not show that he won the de- cision but he whipped him just the same.
 That was the soldier champions finest bid for glory in the ring. It was just about his last, too He never fought good fight after that. Some months later he was tenn porarily blinded by Fay Keiser at Baltimore, and was unable to leave his hotel for week.
 Eventually Bronson persuaded him to retire. For a while he was state ranger patroling the moun- tainous passes of his native vir- ginia.

He Whipped Jamicson

But the regulations of the tourna- ment restricted his activities to the light heavyweight division. Tunney had no trouble winning this title. His victim in the finals was Ted Jamieson. Meanwhile Martin went on to win the heavyweight title.
 Passing years have established Tunney as the best fighter developed in the service. The best by far.
 Martin returned from overseas with an energetic bally hooer in the person of Jimmy Bronson. who cir cused" him from one end of the country to the other.
 Bronson was instrumental in launching a vigorous campaign against Jack Dempsey on grounds of slackerism, the purpose of which was to crush Dempsey in public es- teem and automatically elevate Mar tin, with his war record. to a com manding position among the heavy weights
