SENECAS BATTLE
 FALCONS SUNDAY
First Game Of Playoii Series to
 Be Staged at St. Mary's

sunday afternoon at St. Marys field, the Falcons and Senecas, two of the local teams entered in the playoff for the city baseball cham pionship. will clash in the first game of the scheduled round of games. Both will be at the top of their strength for the struggle.

 The Falcons hold the edge in the opinion of many because they feel that the Scnecas have not yet receiv- cd their baptism of fire in a real hard series. On the other hand, the Seneca rooters. pointing 10 the 'ac- adjustments of the team this year, are confident that the Falcons will be on the short end of the game Sun day.
 The contest will start promptly at 3 o'clock. Herbie Sautter will um- pire behind the plate while Paul will handle the bases.

MANY WITHDRAW
 FROM GOLF PLAY
Unable to Overcome Difficulties
 at Lido Course

Long Beach. N. Y, July 19 P- While many of the golfers who started in the metropolitan open championship came to grief on the sandy. wind swept Lido course in yesterdays first round, half a dozen of the golfing elect managed to beat the stiff seaside course into submis- sion.
 Led by Jack Forester, Hacken- sack, N. J., five professionals equal led or bcttered par for the first IS holes of the 72-hole medal test, while two more finished just one stroke above perfect figures. For rester negotiated each nine in one under par to lad the field with 36- 34-7O.
 One stroke behind the leader and still one better than old man par came Mike Brady, veteran Winged Foot pro, and Lanky Jim Barnes of New Rochelle. Gene Sarazen and Leo Diegel negotiated the IS holes in prfect figures of 72 to tie for the next place on the list Henri Ciuci and Bill Mehlhorn turned in cards of 8 for the round.
 From Forrester's low mark, the scores ranged into the sos, sos and even higher. as many unknown play CTS made their bids for golfing fame Johnny Farrell turned in a card of S1 as did his Ryder cup teammate Ed Dudley. Joe Turnesa was just one stroke ahead of them while Willie MacFarlane hit the high mark of S4.
 Voluntary withmdra walls after one struggle with Lido's noted rough reduced the huge starting field of Al by a considerab ble extent after the first round while it will be fur ther cut down today. All players who score more than eight strokes above the tenth player at the end of 36 holes will be dropped from furth- CT competition. The final 36 holes will be played tomorrow.
 The 1928 champion, Tommy Ar mou,r, did not appear to defend his title, being detained on business at his own club in Detroit.

Fafnir 21. Paper Goods 3


 Fafnir batting averages were fat tened considerably in the game play ed on Diamond No. ? when the Dragons scored 21 to 3 victory over the American Paper Goods The game, one of the worst played in the leagelu this year, lasted two hours and 20 minutes and was all Fafnir from the third inning on.
 It was a ball game for the first two innings when neither team was able to score. In the third, however, after the Paper Goods had scored six before the inning was over. In the fourth, the winners scored five more. In the sixth three more came in while in the seventh two were added and the eighth was pro- ductive of another batch of five.
 Jo Mccormick was the man off whose delivery these bingles were rattling. Twenty hits in all were slapped out, most of all them being singles. Walicki circled the bases twice, the first time on a single and some weird throws while the second was a legitimate home run.
 On the other hand, Jim Havlick, veteran campaigner and slab artist, held the Paper Goods batters to measly total of five hits during the entire game. He famed three and walked six. His mates gave him excellent support.
 Queer plays were registered in the game, the king of them all being kane's poor throw to first in the eighth. Lefty" Haber had struck out and Kane had dropped the ball. Huber started towards first on a walk and Kane went after him. When Huber started to run, Kane threw the ball almost to the road in right field.
 Jim Mccormick turned in the fielding feature with a lightning like, enchanted stab on a iump of a drive off Havlick's bat. Ferraro was the redeeming virtue of the Paper Goods team with his play at second. Bucheri played nice game at short for Fafnirs. The sum- mary:

GERMANY PLATED
 OVER NET SUCCESS
Not PessimistiC Over Chances Of Beating United States Team

Berlin. July 19 R)-Proud of their rapid rise in sports. Germans by the thousand turned thelr thoughts today to the encounter be- tween their best tennis players and those Of the United states. meeting at the Red and White club in tn" interzone finals of the Davis Cup competition.
 To have reached this stage in the great international competition IS one of the finest feathers that has been put in Germanys hat since the country began to take sport serious Iv with the end Of the World War Tickets for the matches, which Will occupy three afternoons are difficult 10 obtain today and those who are lucky enough to find them must pay four or five times the printed price.
 Having beaten England in the Eu- ropean zone final. the German play CTS and their admiring public are not at all pessimistic over their chances against the Americans.
 We did not expect to beat Eng land but we did. We don't expect 10 beat America but we might, just about sums up the attitude Of the German tennis writers and those fans who believe what they read in the papers
 The general expectation is that Big Bill Tilden, lanlly leader of tn" American forces will tuck away the first victory for America when he cpens the three day tourney thls afternoon with Hans Moldenhau'r opposing him. But none of the German sportsmcn who have been watching the rival teams in prac- tcc is willing 10 concede tha Amer iCa's other singles player tranK Hunter, can dispose of Daniel Prem. young German ace, without con- siderable struggle. it at all, Ther' are indeed many who think tonight will find the two nations tied at one match each.
 The belief Is based on the fact that Prem is manifestly getting bet ter each day while Hunter has made the least impressive showing of any of ;hc four Americans I.roug!t here for the interzone final. Fiun rs notably weakness is ON r2ctcd to off0r a good opening for Prem. whose tennis star is moat certainly on the rise, and many Ger mans think h, will be able to score an easy victory over the hard driv ing .Americpn by taking advantage of II is weakness.
 Society, whether it plays tennis or not. Is more or less agog over the international matches. which are so .ething new on Berlins calendar of what one must sec.

KLEIN IS AFTER
 HOME RUN RECORD
Has Excellent Chance Of Shat tering National League Mark

New York, July 19 LP-Young MT. Charles Klein, of the klouting kleins of Philadelphia, if he does not actually threaten the celebrated home run record of Babe Ruth this season, at least stands most excel lent chance of toppling the seven- year-old National league record of 42, set by Rogers Hornsby in 1922.
 This is only one of the diverting possibilities of the current carnival of clout in the National league, which. by design or otherwise, has at least taken away some of the spotlight which has been focused almost exclusively on the American league group led by MT. Ruth since home run slugging was popularized Young Messrs. Klein, Ott. O'Doul and others of the new slugging cir GUS are hitting as dizzy a clip as the we'll known firm of Ruth and Gehrig ever experienced.
 League and club records for dis tance hitting are already on the chutes but the center of interest now is klein who at this stage of the season is only two blows short of the pace that Ruth set in 1927 when he boosted his own seasons record total to 50 homers. On July 19 of that campaign the Babe had collected exactly half of his final total. Klein. prior to todays game. had oS and led both leagues. Ruth. although handicapped by illness. a layoff of several weeks and now a strained knee has 22 circuit blows to his credit.
 It probably is asking too much of Master Klein in his first full season as regular to knock off the Babes great record but even with a jack rabbit ball and short right field target, it is little short of miraculous for the Philly star to maintain the pace he has done.
 He not only is in a fair way to eclipse Hornsby's National league record for seasons total. needing only Is more homers to do so. but he may also be the first National leaguer to enter the Ruthian class of 50 or more for one year. The Babe has passed the 50 mark four times.

to even the score. His efforts were fruitless for Cartelli made long hit on, his next shot to win the game. Cartelli and Molusis ran away with the next game. 25-2.
 Shorty Smith. little colored boy, who is unofficial champ of Elm street planes the loss of the second game to the fact that he clipped his hot agate early in the game.
