IT. HREE marks were broken and
a thrilling finish provided in
the fourth annual interplay
i ground girls track and field
championship meet, won by
Rosedale yesterday on the Plaza field,
with total of 80 points.
In the final stretch of the 220-yard
relay race, Plaza Playground was
some 20 yards in the lead, but Evelyn
Lingebach, anchor runner for New
York Avenue, refused to be discour-
aged by the heavy odds. Stretching
out, she caught up with the leader
and passed her two yards from the
finish, while the spectators roared
their approval.
Tieing for first place in the S5-pound
running high jump, Sally Aman of
Iowa Avenue and Lucille Gruenbaum
of Takoma Park broke the playground
record. made in 1925 by Emily Har-
rington of Bloomingdale. The new
mark set was feet 3 inches.

cording to the ruling made in such
cases, Miss Jones was accorded second
place, despite the fact that her toss
was the longest, because it was made

JEW YORK, September 2.-Now
that the Western teams in the
VI National League are beginning
to man the trenches for their
last home stand in the turbu
lent pennant race, considerable inter
est will be evoked by comparison OF
the records of the three leaders on the
road and at home.
The st. Louis Cardinals, opening q
series at Pittsburgh today, have
shown improvement in their recent
record of games. 1t has been evident
that the Cardinals have been making
harder fight than their Western ri
walls. Chicago and Pittsburgh. The
Cards have been playing much better
base ball in the East since May thar
kheir principal Western foes.
II the Cardinals can get home and
pIay base ball as well at the St Louis
hot as they played it in the East, they
will take the pennant away from both
Chicago and Pittsburgh as they die
lin 1926. This time. however, it will
be for the reason that they have out
#played their Western rivals. and not
because the Western teams. saving
eacn others noodles off. have per
United st. Louis to slip through and
win the flag with fewer than 80 vic
tories.
Cards Weak at Home.
At home the Cardinals have won
but 16 games out of q. On Eastern
fields. they have won IS out of 40
They are a better road team, so far
as the East is concerned, than they
are a home team. At home they won
500 per cent of their games. and away
from home they won $50 per cent
from the East.
The Pittsburgh team has been
weaker against the East on its own
ground than either st. Louis or
Chicago. The Pirates have won 16
games out of % at home, percentage
OF .552. They must do much better
than that to win a pennant. They
have won "a out of IL games on East
ern fields. That is not as good as the
record made by st. Louis. The
Pirates percentage of games won in
the East is 5S5-and that is not cham
pionship base ball.
The Cubs have won % games out of
SS0 on their own playground from
Eastern teams. That is a whale of n
good record. 1t is pennant base ball
and more than that. Their percentage
is 1913 at home. Away from home OIL

thud that shook all of Chicago. They
won % games in the East and lost 81
for a percentage of .512, which is
barely enough to hold a team in the
. first division.
Road Play Hurts Cubs.
II has been pretty well proved that
the Cubs are not a good road team.
Yet on their first trip to the East they
won nine games and lost three and
seemed to be natural leaders of the
West because they outplayed both ST.

the arbitrary and foolish things he had
done: that all his help detested him,
though most of them loved the or
