K pennantS reopens today on the

Constructioneers clash in the
first game of three-tilt play-of for
the Industrial League championship,
while on an opposite diamond Mount
Vernon and Eldbrooke oppose in the
initial play-of game for the George
town Church Loops second series crown.
Both games are scheduled at Sis pm.
The Industrial League race was a
weird affair. Dixie Pigs waltzed through
the first half schedule, with the Con-
StructioneerS finishing last. The cellars
hidden charms must have worn off
however, for the Constructioneers came
back to head the second series and
enter the play-off.
Eldbrooke won the first half loop
race in the Church League, but was
unable to shake off the improved Mount
Vernon club in the second series, with
the result that both finished in a tie
with seven victories in nine games. If
Mount Vernon wins the current play-off
series, 1t will gain the second half
championship and thereby become
eligible to participate in another play
of with Eldbrooke for the Church

LEONARD READY
. FOR BEST

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-Bring
on your Jackie Fields, your jim
my McLarnins. Benny Leonard,
the old master, is ready for them.
Through ten of as tough
rounds as he has been asked to
go since his comeback, he beat
Young Paulie Walker to a 10
round decision at EbbetS Field in
Brooklyn last night. Benny earned
the decision. and he got it. The
bout drew $4,000 fans.
He finished like a gamester,
almost knocking out the New
Jersey lad in the tenth round.
The round had a minute to go
when in furry of punches
Benny uncorked a right. the old
right that sent Ritchie Mitchell
and that kind to sleep years ago,
and Young Mr.. Walker was ready
for a bedtime story. But that
thing called youth came to him
and he weathered the storm.
Bat Battalino. the old feather
weight champion. got decision
from Billy Townsend, of Van
couver. 1t was a decision that
didn't please everybody. 1t was
close, though, and maybe the
knockdown Bat scored in the
fourth round. count of seven,

Battle Of Southpaws
Lefty" Jones, of the Dixie Pigs,
will pitch against Lefty" Jewett,
of the washington Construction
eers, at 5 o'clock, on the East

caliber and pitching duel is fore
cast. The Pigs won the initial
game, 3 to 2.

pionship of the Departmental

Local Printers Win
The veteran Heinie Webb, of the
local Union Printers, demonstrated
that he still can pitch as his team
defeated the Indianapolis Print
ers, 9 to l, yesterday in the first
game of the annual printers
tournament at Twin Cities, MINI.
Webb allowed but four hits
and famed six. Edwards was
the big gun at the stick for the
local boys, connecting for three
solid SWats. BY virtue of this
victory the Washington base

SARAZEN |RED
BY P, {, A,

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-Gene,
Sarazen, joint holder of the Amer
ican and British open champion
ships and greatest of golfers
since Jones, will not accept
place as qualifier for the pro-
feSsional golfers association cham
pionship at st. Paul, if, as a re-
suit, a rightful and legitimate
qualifier is forced out.
He will not appear in the tour
nament at all if his nomination
has the slightest suggestion of
commercialiSm. He will not, in
fact, be party to any arrange
ment that proposes to let him
into the championship proper as
gratuity. And he will give the
P. G. A. committee just "a hours
to make up its mind.
Thus, did Gene declare himself
on the current controversy in
golf as he was passing through
town last night on his way to an
exhibition date at Binghamton,
N. Y. He referred to the hocus
pocus that featured the local
qualifying round of the P. G. A.
event on Wednesday. in which
he finished in a tie for the last
qualifying place, engaged in a
play-off, apparently qualified
and later discovered that earlier
scratches having reconsidered, he
was outside the pale by one place.

and Pacific railroad, Chicago and
Northwestern, and several others.

obligations were turned over in
