On the Side Lines
With
DENMAN THOMPSON

@HAT most ancient of
paStimeS - h orS e shoe
pitching-which -four
u ished back in the days
when livery stables occupied
the sites where garages now
stand, is giving evidence of be-
ing as sturdy as the SteedS
which supplied the where
withal for its playing before
the sport became standardized
in the dimensions of its mis-
Siles, targets and courts.
Last year when The Star an
nounced 1t would conduct a
tournament for the horseshoe
pitching championship of
Washington and its environs it
was found that instead of the
entrants numbering only a few
score they totaled many hun
dredS and this year the re-
Spouse has been even greater.
Tomorrow eight horseshoe
pitchers will play for the Met
ropolitan District champion
ship. They are the survivors of
several thousand who took
part in town and neighbour
hood tournaments throughout
this city and the State coun-
ties adjacent, including two
from Virginia, two from Mary
land and four from Washing
ton.
The tournament last year
was nothing more than an eX-
pertinent. It was not known
whether horseshoe pitching
would be regarded as a novel;
ty or a substantial, worth
while sport, such as base ball,
tennis and other games that
require skill as well as athletic
ability.
This years horseshoe activi-
ties have proved beyond doubt
that the game is stable and Is
due to become more and more
extensive in scope as the sea-
sons progress.
The most significant sign Of
healthy, general interest is
that leagues are being organic
ed. BY next Summer nearly
every nearby county will have
one and there will be a Wash
ington City League, in which
the best pitchers will enroll,
with a team representing each
division of the Playground
Department.
Included among those who
will compete in the finale this
evening are several who until
a year ago never had tossed a
shoe, but who, in obtaining ex-
pertness at the game, found it
embodied all the requisites for
adequate exercise and recrea-
ton.
While primarily a game for
players rather than spectators
Horseshoe pitching affords
keen enjoyment for those who
look on, and If you happen to
be in a mood to diversity your
thrills a visit to the Plaza Play
grounds this evening is recon-
mended. The games will start
at o'clock.

peddler named King Levinsky, who

where as a light heavyweight fighter.
The King, idol of the West Side,

bow in big league competition by knock

for little Patricia Harmon, daughter of

For two rounds Singer stayed out In

The third round told different story.
There was no indication that Jimmy
packed a stick of dynamite in those
two small but tough fists as the round
opened Singer went about his bust
ness Of alternating boxing and slug
ging, his plan of battle in the first two
rounds, but suddenly ran into ter
rife left hook to the head.
Quick to take advantage OF the open
ing, McLarnin rushed to the attack,
swinging a volley of rights and lefts to
Singers chin. AL took four blows and
his knees buckled. He went down on
his back, rolled over on his face and
kicked his feet in an effort to rise.
At the count of nine, he was back
in the middle of the ring, webbing, but
game McLarnin, thinking he had won,
turned his cartwheel of victory, COM

the weakened Singer. Jimmy, taking
one step backward, stood dat-footed

then let loose with a straight over
hand right-a blow that crushed the
hopes of the lightweight champion to
gain added prestige by going out of his

LITTLE HOPE NOW
OF BOTHER|NG AS
Browns, Who Win Again,
IA, Turns Griffs' Thoughts
to Consolation.
BY JOHN b. KELLER.

|HICAGO, september H.
1 Beaten again in a st.
~ Louis series, the Nationals
are thinking of nothing
more than holding to second
place in the American League
race. What faint hope of max
ing the stretch going troublesome
for the Athletics some of the
Washington players may have
had when they came West was
blasted by the Browns.
It's matter of making sure of the
second-place cut of the world series
consolation pot now.
The Browns did more than any other
club to keep a pennant from the Ma
tlonals this year. They licked the
Johnson band dozen times in %
games, the worst licking handed it in
the campaign. st. Louis, poor second
DIVISION outfit even, will be the only
rival to take an annual set with Wash
ington, too.
Each of the other Western agerera-
tons and the Philadelphia crew has
been beaten II times this year bv the
Nationals. In the tussling with these
teams Washington car get nothing
worse than an even break. The series
WIN the Yankees was won handily and
tnat with the Red Sox already is
IN Washington this year the Nationals
did well against the st. Louis club.
They walloped it in Of the IL
games in Griffith Stadium. How the
Browns made the Nationals suffer in
st. Louis, though. In the first series
there in June they trimmed the John
son brand 3 times in starts, repeated
the stunt in July, then finished their
string with the washington crowd by
taking 2 of games played.
The Nationals seemed to pack all the
poor base ball they could into their
series in st. Louis this year. They had
wabbly pitching, were weak afield and
rarely managed to get good use of their
hits. In five of the eight games lost
in Sportsmen's Park the Nationals were
trounced after stepping out early for
a good lead.
This simply wasn't the Nationals year
in the Missouri metropolis.
IN the series wind-up yesterday the
i Nationals took their customary beat
ing from Walter Stewart. clever left
handler. About all Stewart had to do
this season to turn back Washington
was show on the pitching hill The
7-to-4 Triumph yesterday was his fifth
of the campaign over the Washington
bunch.
Stewart was not nearly so good yes
terday as he had been in other engage
ments, but nothing could be done about
it. He was nicked for 10 hits and gave
four passes. In but three innings,
though, could the Nationals score.
Twice they punched three hits for runs
and later a brace of st. Louis errors
helped them to a tally.
Four Washington pitchers were sent
into the fray. Lloyd Brown was I'M
steady from the start and passed out
after two rounds in which he had yield
ed one-run advantage to the Browns
Before Bob Burke began pitching In
