EASY MATCHES
FOR GOLFERS

FLUSHING, N. Y, Sept. 10.
At least four of the eight matches
in the second round of the Pro-
fessional Golfers Association
championhip tournament on the
testing links of the Fresh Meadow
Country Club today are "set-ups"
for the favorites.
The four who look to be in
are Tommy Armour, Canadian
champion; Gene Sarazen, West.
ern titleholder; Leo Diegel, de.
Tending crown-wearer of the p
G. A., and Horton Smith, who
holds no title but that of great
golfer.
But in the remaining
matches there Is. likely to be
plenty of excitement, a case
in point being the nixup be-
tween Al Espinosa, the Span,
lard, who tied with Bobby
Jones for the national open
at Winged Foot, and Light
horse Harry Cooper, now of
Chicago.
Johnny Farrell. former national
titleholder from the Quaker Ridge
Golf Club, who seems to be right
at the top of his game, may have
his own troubles today with Denny
Shute, of ColumbVs, Ohio. Denny
is the young man who won the
Los Angeles $4,000 open. Young
Charles Lacey, the English pro-
fessional from the Pine Valley
Golf Club, may be the dark horse
OF this championship. Charley's
victory over Charlie Guest yester-
day, furnished something for the
gallery to talk about, as Guest
played so well in Mondays quail
tying rounds that he was favored
to beat the Briton without much
trouble.
Today Lacey is facing an
other DetrOiter, none but Al
WatrOus. WatrOus is the
golfer who had the British
championship practically won
IN 1926 and then proceeded
to hand 1t over to Bobby
Jones.
Diegel. with an 8 and 2 victory
over Henry Ciuci already to his
credit, should have no trouble
beating Harold Sampson, Of
California, and Armour is equally
certain to come through over Bob
Shave, Of Aurora, Ohio. Horton
smith should not encounter much
resistance from Laurie Ayton, of
Chicago, and Gene SaraZen is like.

MYSTERIOUS
MARKSHAVE
MEANING
BY BABE RUTH

CLEVELAND, Sept. 9.-"I've
watched fellows keeping score
ON ball game but I've never
been able to get the hang Of it,"
Mac complained. "HOw the
dickens do you keep score on q
game, anyway"
That's. a sort of tough question.
Different people have different
methods, though / guess all the
baseball writer's follow pretty
much the same system. Anyhow
1 told Mac the way the baseball
writers do it-and here's the
method:
First off number all your play
ers as follows: Pitcher. /; catcher,
2: first base, 8: second base, 4;
third base, S; shortstop, 6; left
field, Z; center field, 8; right
field, o. Those are the numbers
you use in putting down plays
There are other signs, too.
For instance straight line CD
means a. one-base hit, two lines a
two-base hit, ETC., and the figure
of the position after the hit
shows the place it went. For in
stance -" means the hitter
singled to leftfield.
For q base ON balls use 3d."
for q strike cut, "K": for q
force BAY "F", and for o
feeders choice, "fc". "Bk"
~ the sign for q balk and
sac" fer q sacrifice.
Suppose. for example. We use
a regular Yankee lineup. Combs
the first man up. walks. You put
a B" in the upper left hand
corner of the score card. Larry
sacrifices. third to first. In Lary's
space you put Sac" and under
it SIS" Then I come up and
strike out. In my space you put
*" Gehrig hits two-baggeE
to center, scoring Combs. In
Gehrig's space you put "a" ano
Combs is credited with a score
Then Lazzeri flies out to left
You mark "F7 in his space If it's
fair ball or "f7" If it's foul.
Suppose, for sake of example
that Rice singles and Dickey hits
into q double play, short. 10 sec
ond to first. In Rice'S column
you put &c." showing that he
singled. Then on the double play
you mark for Rice "6-4" and fol-
Dicky "4-3" connecting them
with a line "6-4/4-3" to show
that the play was continuous and
that 1t was a double play.
Here's another situation
that might arise. Suppose
Combs is on third and / hit
to the ShOrtstOp who throws
to the plate getting Combs
while I am safe at first.
Naturally that's not q base
hit, but q fielder's choice.
So under Combs square you
put "fc', showing that I was safe
on fielder's choice.
It all sounds complicated. ]
know-but it's really very simple
once you get the hang of the
thing and get your numbers
straight. And being able to score
a ball game is a mighty fine
thing. Fellows who can score
properly can take a score book
two or three years old and reaC
off every play. telling who got
base hits, where they went. ~hoW
the out were made, and every
play in the game Just as it hap
pened.

a tough job.
This Is not the first time
the Irishman has tilted with
the American champion. They
met last year on the Riviera,
and Big Bill was hard pressed
to win, emerging the victor
only after five hard fought
sets. Henri COchet was a VIC

that tournament.
There are plenty of other good
matches on the program besides
the Tilden-R Rogers embroglio, the
Shields Allison encounter, for in

Allison Is the fifth ranking
player of the country and Shields

StSASNN w w.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Oct. %
UNs0-The possibility of a
break between Clifford Pinchot
Republican nominee for gov.
ernor, and Secretary Of Labor
James j. Davis, his party's candi.
date for Senator, loomed today
as a sequel to their dispute over
President Hoover's attitude to
ward the turbulent Pennsylvania
gubernatorial election.
Mr.. Pinchot and Secretary
Davis were at odds over the for
mer's declaration that the Cab
inet officer had told him Presi-
dent Hoover favored the election
Of the whole Republican ticket
in Pennsylvania Pinchot in
sisted that Davis had reported
this message from the White
House, while the Labor Secretary
was equally vehement in denying
that Mr.. Hoover had indorsed
anybody in this or any other
State.
President Neutral
The followers Of John M.
Hemphill, Democrat and Liberal
party nominee for governor, were
jubilant, since the controversy
brought a direct announcement
from the White House that the
President is taking no part, di-
rectly or indirectly, in any State
political campaign" The Liberal
party spokesmen characterized
this as tantamount to 'PreSi-
Dental rebuke to Mr.. Pinchot.
In his reply to Mr.. Pinchot,
Secretary Davis said:
"I would have no business
saying what the President
would do. / did say the PreSi-
dent needs the support Of all
who indOrSe his policies.
pointed out that the President
could not inject himself into
such matters, and I recalled
that when President Wilson
did so in 1913 he had been
criticized.
Charles Dorrance, State chair
man for the Liberal party, urged
Secretary Davis and Mr.. Pinchot
ito get together on their story"
He also called on Mr.. Pinchot to
answer the White House state
ment.
Challenge Issued
Mr.. Dorrance challenged the
truth of a statement by Gen.
Edward Martin, Republican State
chairman, earlier in the week
that MIR. Mellon favored Mr..
Pinchot's selection. The liberal
leader has told his friends re-
peatedly that both Secretary
Mellon and former Chairman
Mellon oppose Mr.. Pinchot.
The Pinchot camp ignored this
challenge and took great delight
in the declaration of John K.
Tener, former governor Of Penn
sylvania and a former president
Of the National Baseball League,
that Mr.. Pinchot was "as good a
Republican as Mr.. Hoover"
The boiling of Republicans to
the Liberal banner Of Mr.. Hem
phil, however, continued, with
the detection of Cyrus H. K. Cur
