|KENSINCTON AND FALCONS
 START SERIES ON SUNDAY
Teams to Play Best Three Out of Fve-Kania Brothers to Oppose Former Teammates-Paper Goods Team to Present Strong Lineup Bucholtz May Occupy Box For Falcons-Was Ace of South End Clubs Pitching Staff Last Season.
The All-Kensington baseball team

The All-Kensington baseball team
 will meet the Falcons in the first
 game Of a five-game series to bs
 staged between the two teams to determine superiority. The series was arranged between Manager John Cabay and. Manager Dan
 Killarney to go to the best three out of five. The Falcons have two victories over the kensington team already this season, but these are entirely discounted because of the fact that the south end team was entirely different from the present one.
 ! The rivalry between the two clubs is all the more intense because Of the fact that last season ended be- fore the two were able to settle definitely the winner of the city championship series. This year will mark the playoff that was supposed to have taken place last year, and there is no need of saying that the rivalry between the two clubs is in- tense.
 The teams compare favorably as far as defensive aud offensive strength is concerned. Fans will have the pleasure of seeing former Falcons playing with the Kensins- ton team, while the order will be re. versed if Buckholtz pitches for the Falcons.
 Joe and Bruno Kania, two of the mainstays of the Falcon team in former years, are two big numbers with the Kensington team this year, Joe is playing shortstop for the Paper Goods crew, while his brother is one of the mainstays of the twirlins staff. Buckholtz was really the hero of Kensington's victories over the Corbin Red Sox and Fal- con teams last year. He will prob ably draw the assignment in the first game Sunday.
 Joey Fitzpatrick will be a big number with Kensington. The south- paw first baseman is considered the best at that station in the city and it has been many years since he has appeared with a team contendine for championship.
 Although series between the two teams is not regarded by the man. agers as city championship affair. yet because of the fact that the Cor bin Red sox are also carded to meet Kensington in series, packers of teams are satisfied that the ques- tion of supremacy will be worked out this year the same as 1t always has been.
 Sundays game will draw out a crowd as large as was in attendance last Sunday at the Falcon-Red sox game. The contest will start prompt ly at 3 o'clock with Herbie Sautter and Ripper" McKeon doing the umpiring.

TITLE CONTEST IS
 STOPPED IN THIRD
P. & E. Corbin Leading s to 2
 When Rain InterferS
Rain came last night as a benevo-

Rain came last night as benevo- lent fairy godmother to the Stanley Works baseball team but a. a witch of misfortune to the P. & F. Corbin team when the championship game between the two teams was halted in the last Of the third inning with the Corbin team leading to 2. The Lockmakers were apparently on their way to victory and the league pennant when a downpour prevented any possibility of staging the con- test under fair conditions and makes another start imperative. The game will be staged at Walnut Hill park Thursday afternoon at 5:50 o'clock
 Had the weathehr been fine and clear, it might have been a different game. Scott was getting his bumps right and left but he would prob ably have been sailing serenely along had the balls been dry and the day one of sunshine.
 It was the Stanley Works-after Corbins had scored one run in the first inning on a walk to Jasper, a stolen base and Johnny Parsons wild throw to home-that almost broke Up the game. In their half of the first inning, Paul Snyder, first man up for the Buttmakers, slapped a triple to left field and Grail fol- lowed him with a single tying the score. Green bunted beautifully past Carlson and Schroeder singled to right filling the bases.
 At this point, the Corbin team executed a beautiful double play Parsons drove one at Carlson, he shot it home to put out Grail and Johnny Wright snapped it to first doubling Parsons there. Budnick however, lined a single over short and Green scored putting the Stan ley Works in the lead.
 This was shortlived, however. be- cause Huber and Patrus both singled. Jackson struck out but both men advanced on a double steal. Bates then hit a high fly be- hind second and Grail made won- derful catch Of it only to throw wildly home allowing Huber and Patrus to score
 Corbins added three in the third Jasper walked again. Preisser singled, so did Matteo and Wright Huber was safe as Matteox was thrown out at home but Patrus sent out sacrifice fly to right field, SCOT ing Wright.
 Grail went out, Carlson to Batets but as Green batted. light rain that had been falling during the previous session, turned into a down. pour and as Green walked, the game was called. A half hour passed and there was no let up and it was then decided to call the game of definitely for the night and re- play it Thursday night.

By tho Associated Press.

By tho Associated Presa
 Four home runs in one game by the St. Louis Cardinals have em- phasized that the worlds champions are still in the race for the National league championship.
 By pounding out 13-s victory over Philadelphia yesterday, Bob O'Farrells Redbirds moved to with in three games of the leading Chi cago Cubs. It was the only game played in the major leagues.
 Two other contests on the sched- ule were rained out.
 Blades. Hafey, sherdel and schu bel hit for the circuit and three of these drives came in the fifth in ming. Two men were on the base paths when Hafey and Schubel con- nected. St. Loui. put over eight runs in the fifth frame. driving Jack Scott of the mound and continuing the attack on Decatur, his success sor.
 The National league situation can be altered only slightly today, as the
  tween the Pirates and the Braves. Should Boston continue its success ful run against first division teams and beat Pittsburgh today, the Cardinals would step up into a tie for second place.
 St. Louis will get real test when the team starts its next series against the Giants In New York. McGraws club. five games out of first place. must carry the series if it is to retrieve lost ground earlier in the season. The Giants have won 1s out of their last 25 games.
 While the remainder of the schedule would appear to favor St. Louis, Chicago and Pittsburgh over the Giants, since New York leaves the Polo Grounds September for a long road trip, it may work to the disadvantage of McGraw's club. Pittsburgh has fewer games with first division teams, with only Il scheduled against Chicago St. Louis and New York. Chicago, winding up at home, must face first division teams 21 times, while the Giants meet their strongest competitors IS times. St Louis has 21 games with second division clubs and IS with those of first division. St. Louis must play the Giants seven times, and they have two more with Pitts burgh and nine more with the Cubs.

Boxers Meet in Hartford for
 Light Heavyweight Title

Hartford, Aug. 24-Maxie Rosen. bloom of New York and Jimmy Slattery of Buffalo, who are to bat. tie in the Hartford velodrome next Monday night, are now in the final stages of training for the bou, which has been sanctioned for the light heavyweight championship ot the world.
 Rosenbloom is working out at Hartford. Mornings find the New Yorker out on the road and after moons see him working out with his sparring partners at a focal gymnasium.
 The Gotham light-heavy in his initial indoor workout yesterday showed lots of speed, good boxing talent and a stiff punch. Rosen- bloom expects to defeat the But- falo boy and thus earn the desig- nation of the worlds light heavy weight champion.
 Slattery is putting the finishing touches on his training up at Hol- yoke, where he has a number of friends. Jimmy. after sensational career in ring circles, slumped some time ago and almost entirely disap- peared from the boxing horizon, Now he is back in superb physical shape, boxing as we'll as ever and deteNnined to fight his way back to the topnotch position that he boasted couple of years ago.
 Slattery says he will defend the title gainst all corners if he suc- ceeds in winning over Rosenbloom in the big East Hartford arena next Monday night.
 New York will not recognize the winner of next Mondays battle as the champion of the world, but the National Federation of Boxing, which has nearly 30 states in its membership, has sanctioned the bout as for the title which the New York body recently handed over bodily to Mike McTigue.

(BY BILLY EFANS)

The New York Giants recently purchased Pitcher Ben Cantwell of the Jacksonville, Fla, club of the Southeastern league. It is rumored the Giants passed over 25,oo0 simo- Icons for his services.
 Thereby hangs an interesting tale that involves Pitcher Wiley Moore of the New York Yankees. In many respects, Moore has been the hurling sensation of the Ameri- can league. Last season he won 30 games while losing only four in the South Atlantic league, yet not one major league scout who looked the big fellow over recommended his purchase.
 No doubt the fact that Moore was 30 years old and had been in the minors for number of years caused the scouts to fight shy of him. Business Manager Ed Barrows of the Yankees bought Moore, simply be- cause he believed any pitcher able to win 30 ball games in any old league must have a pretty good as- sortment of stuff.
 It was a fortunate purchase for New York. The big rookie has been the balance wheel of the Yankee pitching staff. His remarkable ability as a relief pitcher has en- abled Manager Huggins to rotate his 1 regulars in turn and Keep them on edge.
 This year as the wires carried of Ben Cantwell, I made it a point to inquire of a number of scouts as to their opinion Of the big right handler. Not one of them liked his chances to make the grade in the minors
 1 Hes just a good bush league pitcher who hasn't enough stuff to i deliver in the big show" was the consensus Of perhaps dozen famous i scouts with whom talked.
 Recalling the career of Wiley Moore, l began to look up the dope on Cantwell. I found that he had been the leading pitcher of the Florida State league in 1926, win ming 24 games while losing only five. i His pitching enabled Sanford to win the pennant in both halves of i the season
 It surprised me that such a per | formance didn't cause some big l league club to look him over at
 least, and if not ready, to send him
 out on option.
 Yet the only progress that Cant
 we'll made as the result of those A
 victories was from Sanford in the
 Florida State league to Jacksonville
 in the Southeastern
 ! Joining Jacksonville Canwell
 continued where he had left off a.
 a member of the Sanford club
 Starting the campaign with Il straight wins, his record when the New York Giants decided to gamble
 on him, was 23 wins in 26 starts. am told that the report of the
 scouts on Cantwell was much the same as that ot Moore.
 Hes no youngster and has just ordinary stuff they said.
 1 Cantwell, by the way is 25 0,
 nearly five years younger than Wiley Moore. He is right handler, a 1 trlAe over six feet tall and weighing
 about ITO pounds. He first gained
 fame as 3 college pitcher in southern
 circles. His professional experience
 has been limited to three years
 If Cantwell makes good as did 1 Moore, it will be another blow tc
 the highly expensive scouting sys-
 tems most clubs employ. Inciden-
 tally, if Cantwell proves as good 8
 pitcher as Moore. he will be worth
 twice what the Giants paid for him 1 regardless of the figure

So the DeUiL
He Built the
Submarine

BH United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-A gra-
phic poem, almost prophetic in tone,
was written by Walter Bishop,
radionan aboard the S-4, submarine
sunk last Saturday. Selected stanzaS
from the poem, as printed by the
Washington Post today, follow:
In the cankerous mind of the devil
There festered a f1endish scheme;
He called his cohorts around him
And designed the submarine.
The torpedo room is a deadly spot,
But we have small choice, you
know;
So some sleep there. next the over
head,
With T. N. T. below.
We know it's serious business,
You never hear laugh or quip;
Efficiency reigns supreme,
Our lives are forfeit for a ship.
Yes, daily we make a risky dive
While Uncle Sam, with his brim-
ming cup,
Bets us a dollar, while we're alive,
A dollar to nothing we don't come
up.
We're bottled up, just like trap,
With nothing in between
The men and death but a metal cap,
Like the lid Of a soup tureen.

BANKS BALk
AT STAMPING
0. X. ON SLACK
ignoring of Call for Bids on
Sewer Bonds Shows
Doubt of Standing.
sHEEHAN GETS AWARD
Once Before Rejected Be-
cause of Mayor DuyaII'S
Signature.

indianapolis banks again today
refused to recognize L. Ert Slack
as the unquestioned mayor.
No bank submitted a bid upon
the $23, 900 jackson st. interceptor
sewer bond issue, which once be-
fore was rejected because banks
questioned the signature of John L,
Duvall during the mayoralty tangle.
Politicians and financiers had
watched the bidding with unusual
interest.
No bank having bid, Eugene Shee-
han, who holds the contract for
construction of the sewer, was
awarded the issue on his bid Of par
and accrued interest. The issue
bears AIS per cent interest and ma
lures Serially by 1852.
Tangle Over Duvall
The bend issue failed of sale in
November because of the tangle
growing out of the fall of the John
l.. Duval administration. Attorneys
advised banks that none of the nu-
merous successors and claimants to
Duvall's seat when he resigned held
the Office without a cloud and hence
any bond issue bearing any of the
signatures would not be entirely
safe.
Since that time Slack has won
one legal step in the fight to estab-
lish himself as the uncontested oc-
cupant of the mayors chair.
The sanitary board felt certain
the bonds would be disposed of be-
cause Eugene Sheehan, who holds
the contract for construction of
the sewer for $4,000 has agreed to
buy the issue, If banks do not bid.
Faced BY Two Suits
Two suits still stand between,
Slack and a clear track as mayor.
The quo warranto proceedings
which Joseph L. Hogue lost in Cir
cult Court are in Supreme Court
upon appeal. Supreme Court also
has the appeal of Ira L. Holmes
from the Superior Court injunction
which prohibited interference with
Claude E. Negley during the brief
interim when Negley was mayor
prc-tem.
If Holmes could get favorable
ruling he would have color for his
argument that he was mayor when
Negley was serving as mayor pro-
tenn and backing for his contention
that he still is mayor.
