 For while Thurston was used in batting practice and occasionally as a pinch hitter. Still the fans won- dered.
 Then the Cubs and Cardinals came along and literally devastated the Brooklyn pitching staff. Thurston was the only pitcher available after the Cubs had taken four out Of five and the Cardinals had made A runs in three games against Flatbush hurlers.
 So Thurs'on went in. He let the rampant Cubs down with three hits. A week later he was sent against the Braves as Boston. That time he al lowed only two safctics. In neither game were the Dodgers forced to give him much fielding support,

SOUTH CHURCH $ CERTAIN OF 4 TIE

 Blt Squeeze Through
Irter-ChurCh League

The South Congre egational church got an early lead and staggered dog gadly through to a 6-4 victory over the Memorial Baptists in an Inter Church Baseball League game at Willow Brook park last evening and thereby assured itself of at least a tie for first place. One game remains on its schedule, and that, a postpon- ed affair with the St. Marks Episco- palans, will be played off Monday night If the Corgregationalists are victorious in this, they will win their first baseball championship and end the alternating winning of titles by the st. Matts and First Lutherans which has been the rule since the league was formed five years ago. Last night the league leaders bare ly escaped, for they were unable to do much with Zip Ziol and also had bad collapse in the field, but they recovered their poise after one terrible inning and held the Bap- tists down after that. The game was marked by frequent ecring on both sides. Morey opened the game with q bingle, and a hit by Bomba, a pass to Billy Darrow. and a safe crack by Stelma ran the winners total to three runs in the opening frame. In the third they scored again, while the losers picked up run in the fourth

Burritt 1t-Nillow Brook 6

When the Willow Brook baseball team lost all it's baseball sense, the Burritt nine went right ahead to hand it drubbing by the score of 14 10 in the game played or Dia- mond No. .. The Willow Brock play CTS, losing all idea of how many outs there were in various innings, made intellectual attempts to play for run ners other than at first base with the result that there were 13 errors reg istered and the Burritts ran away with an easy victory.
 The winners got only seven hits during the game while the losers totaled five. However. hardly any of the hits were needed by the Bur rits, so bad was the eXhipItion given by the Willow Brooks. Willow Brook scored once in the ! first inning but the BurC.tts scored 1 three times in the same frame. Bur ritts got another in the second. Wl- low Brook came back to score anoth- CT in the fourth but the Burritts re- ! turned to the wars and staged q sl& 1 run rally. Willow Brook got still an- 1 other in the fifth but again Burrltt~ i got three. Willow Brook got TWO in . the seventh and one in the eighth l but Burritts topped of the after noon by scoring once in the eighth i frame.

CHICAGO, Sept. 8.-Figures of
Schubert and Wagner that adorn
the walls of the historic Auditorium

scenes. quite different from anything
ever before enacted below them.
The theater where President Ben
jamin Harrison heard AdeIina Patti

turned into a pee-wee golf course.
Negotiations for the installation
of two of the miniature courses in
what once was "the worlds finest
theater," practically are complete, R.
Floyd Clinch, president of the Chi
cago Auditorium Association, said
today.
Bonds totaling $s34,OOO, issued
forty years ago, are due, Clinch ex-
planned, and expressed a belief that
the new pastime might bring to the
theater the profits which Garden
and Chaliapin somehow never could.
