FORT FIGHTS ON
TOMORROW

Rain forced frankie Mann to
postpone the fight card sched.
uled for Fort Washington tonight
until tomorrow night. The card
will be the same and the first
bout will go on at $50. "Carna,
ton" Jimmy Lake will do his
usual job of vocalizing.
Forty rounds of peppery scuf.
fling is listed, though, of course,
quite a few of the trays are
expected to terminate much
sooner than expected.
The Jack Portney-K. o. Phil
Raymond melee for the light,
weight championship of the land
below the Mason-Dixon line has
the fans all aglow.
This will be a magnificent
scrap. as both boys are inclined
to harbor personal enmity
against each other, along with
the natural desire to glitter pro.
feSSionally. Both weighed in
under 135 pounds in Biltimore
this afternoon.
The supporting card promises
much action, with Reds" Barry,
local pride, tackling Joe Finazzo,
the Baltimore sockoligist, in the
semifinal. Sailor McKenna and
Clarence Sloat tussle in another
iO-frame affair.
Frank Vance swaps solid cloutS

ton into the game at second
base. left vacant by the switch
ing of Chapman into the outfield.
Reese has been at the bag
ever since, so exceptionally has
he handled himself. And
Chapman, in the meantime has
been kept in the Outfield, so
excellent a job he has made of
it since his substitution there.
All of which brings out just
another of the many odd but
interesting turns which go with
the big time.
Reese, before Cookies injury,
took care of a certain portion of
the Yank bench very well, so
well in fact that he hardly ever
was looked upon by Manager Joe
Mccarthy a. a possible player
who could be used as starter.
And Chapman was going great
guns at second base, a position he
won for himself over Reese and
all other rivals at the Yank train

incidentally, got a home run on

far enough out of reach for any
other fielder to retrieve before
OSsie crossed the plate.

TURNING POINT in RACE SEEN FOR CONENDNG AGGREGATONS
TEAMS AWAIT
SLUMP Of
MACKS
ANS AWAIT T. s. Pros Appear Safe In Qualifying Rounds of British Ope
By GARRETT WATERS


Although the Griffmen gave a
very good account of themselves
on the recent western trip, they
still must be figured in the un
certain class at this time because
of the Importance victories or
losses will mean with the western
advance beginning here tomor
row.
The Griffs will absolutely have
to keep up their good work
against the invaders to keep in
the race in view of the Phila.
delphia Athletics continued sue
cess at socking all opponents on
the chin.
AS Slump Awaited
This western invasion east, in
scidentally. will be watched with
interest by all sources is the
thought, because during its work.
ing out it will provide the turn
ing point of the race possibly,
from a comparatively close stand
point to a runaway one for the
AS.
If the AS can only fall into
that slump in their home stay,
long hoped for by all of the
teams, and particularly the
Griffmen and YankS, then
interest will be aroused that
much more and the stretch
will be fought like it has
seldom been fought before.
The Western teams had little
to offer the walloping menaces
managed by Mack in the recent
tour in that sector, but then the
AS were in a stride that had
gained such momentum that
hardly anything could stop it.
The old law of average idea
should bring about a turn around
Of affairs, is the thought, how
ever. There is no team that can
win as consistently as have the
AS all of the time. There might
be such a thing for awhile quite
like the pace the AS have kept
for two years now, but it stands
to reason that the AS cannot
keep it up for ever. For the
simple reason that the strain of
winning is too much to stand.
Can't Figure Baseball
You never can tell what's going
to happen in baseball, however.
And that's the reason no one
can figure out the AS at the
present, or at any moment for
that matter
They probably will keep on
winning day in and day out for
their third straight pennant,
and then again they might
strike a slump and fold up
completely. The next few weeks
should tell something.
In regards to the Griffmen every
victory in this home stay will
mean more than just keeping
within striking distance of the AS
Having those victories recorded in
the win columns of daily statistics
will mean that they will be pre-
pared sufficiently to step in at the
opportune moment and win like
the AS or no other team could
imagine them to win, provided, of
course, that the hoped-for slump

Help Country.

SWANlPSCOTT, Mass, September IS
Ex-senator George H. Moses of New
Hampshire last night advocated the
formation Of New England senatorial
bloc, which he predicted would control
the United States Senate. He spoke at
the convention Of the Massachusetts,
Cooperative Bankers League.
He said the formation of such a bloc
would result. perhaps selfshly for us.
but unselfshly for all the United States
this because Of the attributes of New
England, which is self-supporting. self
respecting and does not hammer at the
gates Of Congress to have the Govern
ment do those things which individuals
should do themselves"
He urged that New England investors
organize to back such q bloc and said
that millions Of dollars invested by New
England people was in constant peril
from legislation. He said he wondered
why "an impudent minority in Con-
gress make these investors take 1t ly-
ing down."
