HOLY GROSS AND
 ' TEAMS IN TIE
Junior City League Mines Unable
 to Beach a Decision
Standing


 Playing an unofficially played game over again in the Junior City Baseball league last night, the Holy Cross Juniors and the Y. M. c. A. teams were unable to reach de-
 cision in six complete innings. As it was, darkness alone was the win ner in the contest as the game had to be called by Umpire Mike Lynch
 at the end of this frame with the score tied at Hall.
 Despite lead of seven runs SCOT
 ed in the first inning when the Y. NJ. C. A. team went to pieces in the field, the Holy Cross Juniors were
 unable to take advantage of this weird session and keep a lead until
 the game was over.
 Slowly but surely, the "Y" crew
 crept up on the leaders until both teams were racing it neck and neck
 with the weather which was fast fad Ing into an early but complete dusk. Both teams rallied in the sixth in ming, the Holy Cross Juniors 10 get two runs and the "Y" to get three just enough to deadlock the count. Ferony started on the mound tor the "Y' in the opening frame. He ! failed to get any support and he himself, developed wild streak
 end before the opposition was re- tired, seven runs had been chalked
 up against him. The "Y" team suc- ceesed in getting three of these back
 in it's half of the session and at the l beginning of the second stanza Chris | Meligonis took over the hurling bur l den. He sailed along in nice shape, 1 allowing only four hits and the same
 number of runs.
 Taking heart, his mates scored
 three more in the second, one in
 the third and another in the fourth
 and ended with three in the sixth
 70 tie the count.
 This was the second time the
 game was played. Last Monday, the two teams battled it cut after Pres
 ident Milton Berkowitz had declar-
 cd it off. The teams were unaware | of this order and the game was played although it was not recog-
 nized officially.

 SINGER THURSDAY
Bronx Boy Still Enjoys the
 Longer Odds in the Betting

New York, Aug. 27 UP)-The bally-hoo artists at work on the Al Singer Kid Chocolate fight have sue cccded in stirring up more interest for the Thursday night scrap han has been accorded any bout here in recent years.
 Latest estimates are that 50,0HH fans will pay around sSO0,oo0 to SIC the Cuban Negro and the Bronx boy fight it out at the Polo Grounds
 Singer still enjoys the longer odds in the betting New York betting commissioners quote the Brony scrapper at to ? and it seem"1 likely that these odds would length en despite the fact that Chocolate has no defeats on his record.
 Odds of 1 to F were being offer ed on a Singer victory by knockout
 There seems little doubt that Sing CT will make the freak weight limit ! of 12S F pounds as reports from h.s training camp at Hoosick Falls say he has twice been down to 12S15 in preliminary workouts.
 Chocolate has concluded his train- ing at White Sulphur Springs and i planned a final heavy workout in Il New York gymnasium today. IIa will rest Wednesday.

Vance took time by the foreloc!l and wrestled a 13 to decision from the Y. M. c. A. team in the second contest of the double header on Dia- mond No. ?. The losers started to score first when they pushed over a run in the first inning but this was only the signal for the Vance crew to get going because in the second the winners punched in five counters.
 Two more were added to the total of the winning team in the third but the Y crew got three of these back and added two more in the fourth. The winners again crashed through for four runs in the fifth and while the Y team was getting only one in the sixth, the winners got two in the seventh, The game was called at this point because the time of play was up.
 The features in the contest were few and far between and as a whole, the game was lacking in spirit or excitement. The summary:

Ask the folks around Rockford, H., who is the greatest pitcher on the Chicago Cubs staff and they will tell you Harold Gust Carlson. Charley Root, Guy Bush and Perce Malone are good, too, they will add.
 For the folks in Illinois are pen nant crazy now that the Cubs at last seem to have corralled the National league flag. And the folks from Rockford will all be at the world series to root for their townsman. Harold Gust. to come through as the hero of the big games.
 Six in Row
 Carlson has been a great help to Joe Mccarthy in the Cubs success full quest this year. Although his wins do not rival those of Bush, Root and Malone, he is putting on a fast finish. His last six victories have been successive and he has been beaten only twice this summer.
 Carlson has been playing profes- sional ball since 1912, and this

FAVOR THREE IN
 SWIM MARATHON
Fourth WriSley 15-Mile Grind to
 Be Staged Tomorrow

Toronto. Ont. Aug. 27 P)-An other three-cornered international duel is in prospect in the fourth Wrigley 15-mile marathon swim in Lake Ontario here tomorrow.
 In a field of more than 400 en- tries, three stand out in advance calculations-George Young of Can ada; Ernest Vierkoetter of Germany, and Georges Michel of France.
 Young leaped into fame when he won the first Wrigley marathon 1t Catalina Island three years ago. Vierkoetter won the second and Mi chel took down most of the prlzc money last year, although he failed to finish. The Frenchman covered 12 IA miles in II hours and 12 minutes and was the sole survivor when he was forced to withdraw.
 It was the disappointing end of last years event that led to the rule that the temperature on the water in Lake Ontario must be at least IS degrees at race time or the event will be postponed until more fav- orabe conditions.
 Although Young, Michel and Nier- koetter seem to hold the inside track in pre-race forecasts, there are oth- CT entrants ranked not far behind. These include Norman Ross of Chi cago, former amateur star; Eddie Meyers, former ice-skating star from New York, and Ruth Tower of Den yer, who finished second to Martha Norelius in the women's 10 mile event last week. Miss Norelius her self will not compete although the first five tinishers in the women's event automatically qualified for the open marathon.
 Prize money aggregating s35,O will be distributed, s25,000 going to the winner.

 Wojack was on the mound for the winning aggregation and he was in brilliant form. During the seven in nings he worked only three puny bingles were registered off him and at no time during the matinee was he in danger. His teammates accord cd him brilliant support.
 The winners packed the game away in the opening session. Three hits. a pass and a pair of Burritt misplays chased a half dozen runs across the platter. They continued this onslaught for the next three cantos and went far into the lead.
 The losers were helpless during the seven frames and only one play CT got as far as third base. In the final inning, Wajock retired the side on strikes

When Cub pitching fails, Joe Me cue with a salvo of base hits to keep the Bruins well in advance of any National league pursuers.
 It was terrific batting rally in the eighth inning yesterday that en- abled the Chicago pennant hopes to down the Cincinnati Reds, 9 to 5, and stretch their lead over the sec ond place Pittsburgh Pirates to 13 1-2 games.
 Until the Hateful eighth, Eppa Jeptha Rixey, elongated left hand CT, waved an uncanny spell over Cub bats while the Reds were touching Charley Root for run here and there, enough it seemed 10 win the game. Until the eighth Rixey granted only six hits, one of which was Roger Hornsby's 29th homer of the year in the fourth. In the Reds half of the eighth Root was touched for two runs, making the count to 2.
 Then the Cubs swatsmiths got busy. A walk and two singles and Rixey was replaced by Rube Ehr- hardt. Five more hits rolled off Cub bats, one of them a freak home run by Norman McMillan with the bases filled. This blow began life as an ordinary single but bounced into the stands for four bagger All told the Cubs scored seven times and the game was over. Hornsby and Kiki Cuyler were the most active batsmen with three hits apiece. A crowd of 35,0OO turned out to see the battle.
 In the only other National league game of the day, the Phillies nosed out the St. Louis Cardinals, [ to 6, in a hectic fray decided in the last two innings. The Phils, trailing by $ to at the end of the first half of the eighth, came within one of a tie when Davis hit a home run with two on. In the ninth three singles and a wild throw by Ernest Orsatti gave the Phils two more runs and the old ball game.
 :" Haid pitched the whole distance for the Cardinals although he was socked for If hits. Claude Will loughby was hit freely by the Cards in the early innings and finally re- tired in favor of Daley who receiv- ed credit for the victory One of the Cards Il hits was Jim Bottomley's 26th homer of the year.
 The American league had a day off while eastern teams were get ting back to their home bases from the west.

 Washington 5-Nathan Hale 3
 Booster Cox. dusky Nathan Hale star, and Esmail. Washington s ace, hooked up in a pretty pitching duel and after nine innings of fast baseball, the latter was returned victorious by 5 to 3 score. A re- cord for this season was established as the game was over exactly 59 minutes after the start.
 Coxs teammates gave him a two run lead to work on in the opening session and then they tossed this ad- vantage away. The dusky twirler de- served better fate but his team mates faltered at critical moments and costly errors took victory from him.
 After a shaky start, Esmail set tied down and gave fine twirling exhibition for the ex-champs. He allowed but five singles during the fray and struck out nine of the op- posing stickmen.
 A Washington misplay, a single, a  passed ball and wild pitch gave the Nathan Hale team a two run lead in the opening inning. The winners scored their first counter in the second inning when Marine poled a home run into deep left field after two were outs
 Washington took the lead in the last half of the fifth when two runs were chased across the platter. Single counters were added to the winners score in the sixth and sev- enth innings as Cox showed signs of faltering. The losers third and last run was chased over in the eighth session. A hit, walk and a passed ball accounted for the tally.
 Marine was the heavy sticker ot the matinee polling out home run and a single in four trips to the plate. MarsN poked out the same number of hits for the losers.

 Ragged support and poor control at times served to defeat Lefty" Anderson and his Smith crew of bail tossers in their meeting with tn , Willow Brook team. Five glaring errors, all of which counted in the run making, were chalked up against the losing crew and passed balls and wild pitches aided in the debacle,
 The winners started with four runs in the first inning. They added another quartet in the third session and two more in the fifth to make their total 10 for the six innings played. The contest was closed out at the end of the sixth because Of the limitation of time.
 Not until the fifth inning could the Smith team score and in this session. the best the team could 'io was to get lone run. In the sixth the team rallied as the Willow Brook defense faltered but the ral- ly died with only four runs in only half enough to even tie the score.
 Anderson was the works for the losers while Lyons pitched heady game for the winners. Griffin ami Lech hit hard for Willow Brook. The summary:
