BIC LEAGUE RACES
APPEAR ALL over
Macks and Cubs Could Play
World Series and Then
Finish Schedules.
BY EDWARD J. NEIL,


IF the Philadelphia Athletics don't
crack pretty soon or the Chicago
Cubs quit winning all those ball
i games, they'll be able to stage the
world series late this month and
finish out the league schedule whenever
they get around to it.
American League fans are getting
used to seeing one club pounce on the
pennant late in August and leave tbs
rest of the circuit struggling along in
a second division, anywhere from a
dozen to 20 games behind. The Yam
KEGS made a practice of it for a couple
of seasons, and now the Athletics have
their rivals rubber-legged from trying to
catch up.
Cubs Rush Ahead.
It has remained for the Cubs. now
ever, to turn the customary knock
down, drag-out struggle for the Ma
tional League flag into a meek process
sion that consists Of one leader and
seven tailenders. The Cardinals,
Giants and the Pirates, always there or
Whereabouts for the past few years,
look just like the rest of the clubs this
season.
Today the Cubs have margin of ~
games over the Second-place Pirates,
and If any further proof of champion
ship class was needed, the Cubs Stormed
up from behind yesterday to takS a
ding-dong decision from the stubborn
Brooklyn Dodgers, 8 to 8, in 16 innings.
The victory was the twentieth for the
Cubs in their last % games.
The youthful Mel OFT blasted Pitts
burgh'S hopes Of winning from the
Giants through a spectacular rally in
int Inn
Pirates dubbed in five, drove Carl Mays
from the mound, and seemingly We're
on the high road to victory when OFT
picked up Bartell'S fifth hit and threw
out Clarke at the plate for the final
out. OFarrell and Terry hit homers.
AS Hold Their Own.
The Athletics failed to add to their
liz game lead over the Yankees in
the American League, but they lost no
ground either in splitting two games
with the st. Louis Browns while New
York was idle. The Browns treated
Rube Walberg roughly in the first ses-
sion, winning to 4. Kress helped the
st. Louis cause with homer with
one on.
The second game went IL innings, and
Lefty Grove and George Earnshaw, an
other pair Of Athletic aces, were pound
ca 1lhIO Oc1OIS JdCh eZuuhL OdLAC AL
and led the Mackmen to an 8-to-7 con-
quest. Mule Haas hit an important
homer that helped tie the score in the
ninth. AL Simmons hit his twenty
fourth of the season in the first. Boley
scored the winning run in the twelfth
on Bishops single.
The Washington Senators staged some
sort of celebration in the only other
game in the American League, over
whelming Detroit, 81 to S. Four Tiger
pitchers allowed 81 hits.
Percy Jones, wealthieSt hurler in the
majors, tossed his first game in a month
for the Boston Braves and shut out st.
Louis, S to 0, with three scattered hits.
The Cincinnati Reds dropped the last
game of the series to Philadelphia, to
6, when q four-run rally fell one marker
short Of tying the score in the ninth.

BOY PAINFULLY BURNED
IN SLIGHT FIRE AT PARK
Gasoline Ignites at Home of Mr..
and Mrs. Noah Tasker.

Walter Tasker, young son of Mr..
and Mrs. Noah Tasker, Mountain
Lake Park, was painfully but not
seriously burned on his left leg yes
terday afternoon about $3.50 o'clock
when some gasoline exploded in a
room on the second floor of the fam
lily home located on Cozy Row.
The injured boy was brought to
Oakland by some members of the
Oakland Volunteer Fire Department,
which organization was called to the
scene of the fire, and given medical
attention by DR.. Broadwater. He was
later taken back to his home by Err
nest Townshend.
The blaze following the explosion
of the gasoline had been extinguished
before the arrival of the department
and before any material damage had
been done the building.
The boy was engaged in cleaning
some clothing with the gasoline and
the fumes ignited in some way, which
communicated to the leg of his trous-
ers with the result that he suffered
superficial burns.

SCOUTS GETTING READY
FOR TWO WEEKS OUTING
80 or More Boys Will Leave on
Tuesday for Permanent Camp
on Deep Creek Lake

Thirty or more members of Oakland
Troop No. 1, Boy Scouts of America,
their scoutmaster, assistant, and the
camp cook, Wi, leave Tuesday morn
ing for their quarters on Deep Creek
Lake, for their fifth annual camping
trip. They expect to remain in camp
for two weeks, during which time
they will have plenty of sleep, recre-
alton, fun, and work.
A semi-military schedule will be
maintained throughout the two weeks,
conforming to the best Scout camp
standards, but this program will be
interrupted on Wednesdays and Sum
days when visitors may come and in
spect the camp site and visit with the
scouts.
The daily schedule will begin at
6 o'clock in the morning and will con-
sist of setting up exercises, cleaning
up the grounds and inspection, rest
hour, play hour, study hour, swim
ming three times day, and camp
fire hour and program in the evening.
All will be in bed by 9 o'clock.
William Turney will again be the
camp cook, and all who have tasted
the meals he prepares are sure of
being pleased at least three times a
day while in camp. James Lee, Eagle
scout, will assist the scoutmaster in
his work, and will be in charge of the
swimming periods.
The majority of scouts will be
second class or above that rank at the
time camp opens, and those who are
still Tenderfoot scouts expect to pass
their final requirements the first few
days in camp.
The expenses of the camping trip
are being taken care of by the Ladies'
Auxiliary. Donations have also been
received from the Oakland Rotary
club, Knights of Pythias, and others.
