CARDINALS BELT
 ROBINS OUT OF PENNANT CHANCES
Champs Dump BrOOklyns Twice-Ott Hits Three HOmers as Giants Split
By l.. S. CAMERON United Press Sports Editor)


 New York, Aug 13-CUP)- Manager Wilbert Robinson and his Brooklyn Robins finally have abandoned all hope of winning the 1881 National league pennant and now will center their attention on winning the runner-up position.
 Although all but the most opti- mistic Brooklyn followers had given up their championship hopes long ago, the Robins players were not convinced that they were defi- nitely out of the race until yester- day when they dropped a double header to the league leading St Louis Cards.
 The double defeat left Brooklyn 13 games behind the leaders with only AZ games to play.
 Over the Fence
 Jess Haines blanked the Robins, 5 to 0, in the first game and the Cardinals went on to win the sec- ond game, 8 to 5. Brooklyn's nine hits of Flint Rhem included three home runs but a five run attack against Thurston and Phelps in the fourth inning gave the Cards an easy victory.
 The Chicago Cubs moved into second place in the race, 8h games behind the Cards, by win ming two games from Philadelphia, ' to 3 and 12 to 1. A five run on- slaught in the tenth inning of the first game broke up g. pitching duel l. Ita Blake, former Cub, and a six run assault on Jumbo Elliott an Schesler in the fifth inning clinched the second game.
 Nice Work, Mel
 New Yorks Giants divided a double header with Pittsburg and dropped back to third place. The Pirates won the first game, 6 to 4. but the Giants won the aftermath to o, behind the three hit pitch ing of Bill Walker. Mel Ott hit three home runs in the two con- tests.
 The Standardization double header was postponed because of rain.
 Kocnlg Did It
 First division teams had little success In American league compe- tition. The league leading Phila- delphia Athletics lost a 12-inning battle to Detroit z to 6; the sec ond place Washington Senators were defeated by Chicago, II to 1, while tho third place New York Yankees and fourth place Cleve- land Indians divided 8 double header.
 A single by Pinch Hitter Koenie gave Detroit its victory over Phil. adelphia.
 George Earnshaw went the route for the losers while Detroit uset three pitchers. Chicago pounded four Washing ton pitchers for 17 hits while Wit Frasier held the Senators to si. hits.
 l New York battered three pitch CTS for 19 hits to win the first gam 1 of a doubleheader, IS to 1, but thu Indians reversed the proceedur' In the second contest to win. I to z.

We bring up the matter at
the moment in view of the 100
per cent charity baseball game

fact a tough winter is coming
on and Washington will un-
deubtedly be asked to support a

game on Washington and before
it is actually upon us, we wish

All For Charity

Sometimes this can't be helped
and what we we're going to say
is that we would like to see
more charity sports events that
are all for charity, like the
Yankee-Giant game, instead OF
the type that gives charity what
is left after many unnecessary
sources take a crack at the re-
CeiptS.
One charity football game
came to our attention last year
where the officials of the game,
the umpire, the referee, and
the head lineman, took $75 each
for their services, just as they
often do in non-charity games.
To this game the public sub
scribed heavily-bought boxes
and grandstand seats literally
and generally patronized the
game in a manner no similar
game is patronized under
normal circumstances.
Briefly. the game nothing
like rated the attendance that
was drummed up for it by
great talk, liberal ballyhoo, and
unlimited free newspaper space
Tor weeks ahead of the game.
The box seats for this game
sold for S. each and the other
seats ranged down to dollar
for admission. Something like
10000 people, saw the game on
an unauspicious afternoon and
thousands had bought tickets
who didn't venture out because
of the type of day.

It is a trail which started back

which has wound its tortuous,

through the big league" tennis

where this afternoon he meets
George Lott in the final round Of

Six months is a long time TO =

all the worries, all the trials
and the tribulatiOns of that
hectic half-year if he can beat
Lott for the title. J
Vines has scored some great
victories during the course of his
1881 campaign, but none has
equalled, in sheer drama or in
courage, nor has shown his true
championship qualities so clearly.
as the win he turned in yester-
day at the expense of Fred Perry.

MARYLAND j.
TRIES KNOTT
At GUARD "
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

BY GEORGE A. SAMPSON
Confronted by a weakness in
the center of the line, Head
Coach Curley Byrd, of Maryland
University, plans several expert
ments.
The most radical is moving
Francis Knott, last years fresh
man fullback, to guard. Byrd
is well fixed for backfield talent
and could we'll use Knott in the
front pew providing the former
Dewitt Prep boy takes to his new
role.
Has Speed and Heft
The Maryland coach has been
working on Knott ever since the
squad reported Monday. Knott
has the speed for a running
guard and also packs the heft.
There are other features of guard
play, however, that will only
come to him through actual
combat.
Another probable change is
the appearance of John Mitch
ell sub center last year, to the
first-String snapper back posi-
tion. "Skippy" Faber has been
bothered by a football knee
injury, which he re-hurt during
lacrosse practice before the
stick season opened. I
Even we're young Faber pos
sesSed of the full strength in
his knee, he would have a hard
time beating out Mitchell for the
center job. --.
Hayden Has Weak Knee
Byrd has also planted Wilbur
Wright, end on last years year.
lings, to a guard berth on the
second string team.
Courtney Hayden, regular guard
on last years eleven. has a bum
knee and Byrd, short of guard
material, is trying to convert
some of the other players into
desirable reserves as guards.
The Maryland University squad
is now complete, Ray Koelle,
guard on last years eleven, hav-
ing reported yesterday.
