MRS WARE PLAYS
 HELEN HICKS IN
 WOMEN'S FINALS
BY ROCSOE SNIPES

Williamsville, N. Y, Sept 26- (UP)-Mrs Glenna Collett Ware of Philadelphia, and Miss Helen (Billy) Hicks, of Hewlett, L. l., meet here to-day to decide the feminine golfing supremacy in the United States.
 Sixth Appearance
 The match is Mrs Vare's sixth appearance in the women's na- tional finals. Five times she has won. It is Miss Hicks first try, a chance won by eliminating Miss Enid Wilson, Great Britain's cham pion, in the semi-finals yesterday. 2 and 1.
 Mrs Ware conquered Miss Vir- ginia Van Vie, Chicago, in the semi-finals two up on the 18th hole.
 Although Miss Wilson's defeat robbed the finals of the inter-na- tional aspect many golfing fans had hoped for, the double round to- day should by no means lack first class golfing.
 Miss Hicks played yesterday nothing short of brilliant. with bir- dies over her card. and eagles missed by inches.
 If Mrs Ware comes through as expected to-day, she will win her fourth title in a row. And if she doesn't, 1t will be the biggest upset in women's golf in years.
 Met Last Year
 Mrs Ware ana Miss Hicks last met in a big tourney last year, in the national women's semi-finals. It was Mrs Vare's day, 5 and 3.
 The finals are scheduled for 36 holes, Is of them this morning, and

BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent

' ICoo Jtdh
 New York, Sept. 27.-CUP).- Al Simmons, Philadelphia outfield- CT, virtually has clinched the Am- erican League batting champion shpi for a second successive sea- son, but the race for national League honors is far from decided.

 Simmons who appears assured of becoming the first American Leaguer to win two successive bat ting championships since 1919 has compiled an average of 1889. His nearest rival, Babe Ruth of the Yankees, trails by r points with Eddie Morgan of Cleveland in third place with .350.
 Honors in the individual offen- sive feats are divided by nine play CTS as follows:

Tn short a typical opening day with the bi teams trying out their various com binations on opponents who hav little more than an outside chanc of victory.
 In New York city, some 75,00 bia play Middlebury, Fordham talk on Thiel. and New York universit engage Hobart. All three of tn to score at will.
 Army, although several of il regulars including Sebastian an Frentzel. star halfbacks, are Q the sidelines with injuries, shoul ! romp to an easy win over Ohi Northern.
 Norwich, beaten 79 to last year is expected to offer little resist ance to Dartmouth's advances, an Syracuse is expected to have littl dfn1culty In SuDuulnS St IaWrehc' Colgate will be outweighed b Niagara. but that won mak much difference.
 Other eastern games include Cor nell vs Clarkson: Georgetown " Lebanon Valley; Pittsburg vs Mia mi; Lafayette vs Baltimore; Rut gers vs Providence!

Each of the Big Three has a pretty fair halfback with which to start the season there's AllIie Booth at Yale Barry Wood at Harvard and a guy named Jack James at Princeton who is likely to do better than both of these gents if given half q chance James can ''run with hall" as Jim Thorpe used to say. Yale started out with 8z men, Princeton with S5 and Harvard with so. Vale looks very tough. Wonder what Benny Fried. man could do with that throwing arm of Barry Woods.

BRISTOL ELEVEN
 PLAY PONIES IN SUNDAY CONTEST
Maple Ends Make Debut at Plume and Atwood Field TO=mOrrOW- The Kickoff at 2:3O

Thomaston, Sept 26-The Thom- aston Ponies football eleven, claimants of the state semi-pro- fessional championship, will appear in it's second game of the season tomorrow afternoon on the Plume and Atwood field when they clash with the Bristol Maple Ends, strongest outfit representing the Bell City this year. The Ponies, beaten by the Maple Ends in the final game of the season last fall, are out to secure revenge over the Bristolites, and a great game is ex- pected to be staged. The kickoff has been set for 2:S0 o'clock, and a banner crowd, probably close to 2,50O will witness the battle.
 Vincent's Plays Ready
 The Little Horses are fully prepared to tackle the Maple Ends. Fay Vincent has joined the local squad as line coach, and the 1890 captain of Yale, instructed the To- calls in several new plays at Thurs day nights workout which the players intend to use against the Enders tomorrow. The Ponies, taking things easy last Sunday, blanked the Auburn A. A. gridsters of Bridgeport by a 12-0 score, and it is the ambition of the home forces to double that margin when they take the field against the Bristol club.
 Several hundred Bristol fans will be on hand to root for the Maple Ends, while the game likely will attract many hundred more persons from all sections of the valley.
 Regular Lineup
 Although no definite lineup has been announced by Coaches Vim cent and Innis. it is probable that the following players will answer the opening whistle: Bertanagle and Fill, ends: Kane and Bristol. tackles; Hymel and Hookus, guards; Concannon, center; Nova coski, quarterback; Klaneski and Gleason, halfbacks; Innis, fullback.
