man; "Sure Catch" is the initial
sack guardian and manager, and
Cletus takes care of the catching.
These brothers all-round play
ing not only aided the team
materially but gave inspiration
to the other players and as a
result the jewelers. were the most
peppy nine during the second
half series.
Play for Crown
Sunday the Rossmen clash with
the Cavaliers, first half champs,
in a double-header in an effort to
determine the grand champion.
The initial game will commence at
l o'clock and it will be played on
one of the Ellipse diamonds, either
the Sourth or the North. 1t will
be announced definitely tomorrow.
Hiel and Bradburn will officiate
the games.
Dixie Pigs
Walter Beall certainly hasn't
lost any of his cunning. His drop
and curve are breaking with regu-
larity. It appears his pitching is
a little too much for the local
sandlotters.
In the recent abbreviated Pigs
G. P. O. game, which was called
on account of rain after three
and one-half innings, Beall dis
played a great assortment Of
stuff which made the batters look
foolish.
Glasses No Handicap

has been playing baseball for
more than Is years, and has worn
glasses all that time.
Glasses is no handicap to
"Spec" Robbins of the Pepco

ters on the team and is the
finest infielder in the league.

MOOSE STATUS
PUZZLESFANS

The exact status Of George
Earnshaw, big ri h t handed
pitcher Of the Athletics, at the
present time is causing consider
able comment in Philadelphia.
Rumors were afloat yesterday
George had been suspended and
sent home from Chicago. These
rumors were promptly denied last
night in Chicago.
The fact is that Earnshaw is at
present at his home in Swarth-
more.
An attache of the AS park said
Big George crashed into the field
yesterday, grabbed his equipment
from a locker and departed, NUT
tering he "was through for the
season." Maybe George was misun-
derstood; maybe he was merely
getting out his equipment so he
might play yesterdays sandlot
game at Swarthmore.
A sports scribe with the AS on
their Western trip, wired last
night there is nothing to the
rumors of Georges suspension,
that he has been given permission
by Connie Mack to return home,
as his wife is in delicate health.
He didn't look good in Cleveland
and Mack is said to have told him
to remain at home until called.
Mack is said to have told AS play
ers that Earnshaw would not be
taken West again this season.
The Western report states
George will rejoin the AS here
Friday and may pitch that after
noon against the Washington
Senators.

YOUTH
SCORING At
DIZZY CLIP
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON
Will Roger Peacock, the %.
year-old Indian Spring Club golf
wizard, equal or excel the golfing
deeds of George j. Voigt and
Roland R. Mackenzie, probably
the two outstanding amateurs
ever produced here?
That is the question on the
tongues of most every local fol
lower of this great outdoor pas
time as the black-haired young
Ster maintains his amazing Scor-
ing pace.
Voigt's only claim to national
and international golf fame is a
semifinalist in the American and
British amateur as we'll as men,
ber of the United States Walker
Cup squadron.
Muffed Greatest Opportunity
He muffed his greatest oppor-
tunity, that of smearing Bobby
Jones grand slam" in 1890.
They were matched in the semi
finals of the British amateur that
year, all hands knowing that the
winner would be an easy victor
in the finals, no matter who the
opponent.
Voigt came to the fourteenth
tee, leading Jones by 2 up and
with only five holes left to play.
It seemed Voigt's match, but
it slipped from his fingers and
Jones won out on the home hole.
Mackenzie was medalist in the
national amateur and also a
member of the United States
WalkeI Cup team. He turned
pro this past April, joining the
Broadmoor Club of Colorado
Springs and has been too en-
gagged with lessons to take part
in tournaments. 1t is believed he
hit the winter trail this coming
season, however.
MOnOpOlized Tournaments
Voigt, who, with Mackenzie,
L4onopolized local and Middle
Atlantic sectional tournaments
from 1924 to 1923, has fallen
back, although qualifying for the
1888 amateur championship.
Some may argue that Al Hough-
ton, Kenwood pro, held equal
ranking with Voigt and Macken-
Zie when Houghton pastimed here
as an amateur, but Houghton is
a better golfer today than as
amateur years ago. Others claim
Harry Pitt deserves a ranking
with Voigt and Mackenzie and
their contention is correct if only
performances in this vicinity,
wherein Pitt has captured every
important championship, are con-
Sidered.
Game Is Polished
Nevertheless, Peacock has it
within his golf powers to go
places. He has the game, in
Guiding a fine swing, full COM
mand of every shot and an ideal
temperament. He only requires
bigtime tournament experience
as the pressure, which is terrific
in major competition, has
wrecked many a fine golfer.
Young Peacock leaves week
from today for Cincinnati where
the amateur championship gets
under way September II. He
will make the trip by auto, &C
companied by his father, Harry
Peacock. Young Peacock missed
qualifying in the amateur at Bal
timore last year by single
stroke. This is his second at
tempt.

CAUSES
MOODY To
DEFAULT

Helen Wills Moody's action in
quitting the court during her ma
tional championship tennis match
against Helen Jacobs is nothing
new in athletics, particularly in
women's athletics.
The incident as a whole does
not present any particular COM
plex problem in human behavior.
Each of the Helens, as befitS a
champion, is possessed of an
overwhelming ego. When two
high morales clash and two fierce
prideS crash heads-on, the result
is sure to reflect upon the loser
in the minds of many spectators.
It is we'll to remember that
when mental and physical mech
anisms of an athletic contender
are not perfectly harmonized
they will not stand the sharp
blow of top competition, more
particularly if the opponent is a
hometown rival, which condition
merely accentuates the fierce
prides of the contenders.
Mrs. Moody was defending
champion is this instance, for
hers was the better record-the
best, when all womens tennis is
included.
Controlled By Fear
When the two women took the
court for their title scrap (and
it was nothing short of a fight,
mentally, the onnipresent pos
Sibility of an upset was apparent
to all who have ever participated
in athletics. This means that
fear-cold, stark fear-stalked in
the breast of each Helen. I'M
mediately after play started, this
fear "a form of nervous excite
ment) disappeared.
AS the two contenders proceed
ed with their match they ap-
preached the turning point-that
moment in a championship con-
test when a decisive move by cne
player spells ruin for the other.
This period prior to the climactic
moment merely eliminated for the
time being the nervous excite
ment, or fear, which had marked
the attitude of each contestant
before the contest commenced.
If Mrs. Moody went the way of
all female champions (Which Is
assumeO, she, with her high in
telligence. her feminine physique,
her sensitive competitive spirit,
recognized the decisive moment
and knew that she was doomed.
All champions possessed of in
telligence do recognize the mo-
ment, and the move which makes
the moment all-deciSive.
Concentration Lacking
Following this decisive moment,
the mind of the falling champion
is filled with thoughts of defeat
and, as a result, perfect concen.
tration is lacking in the losing
player. When concentration of
attention on the immediate action
is lacking, and distracting influ-
enceS are rampant in the mind,
defeat looms not as a possibility
but as a certainty, provided the
opponent is up to snuff.
When the first moment Of
mental uncertainty came to Mrs.
Moody, Miss Jacobs sensed it,
since the latter is a champion,
too. Miss Jacobs knew that Mrs.
Moody was cracking, as we'll as
did Queen Helen herself. Miss
Jacobs did not falter thereafter.
Mrs. Moody did, and following
the line of least mental resist
ance, sought for and found an
alibi which appeared worthy of
acceptance. Mrs. Moody's de-
cision to leave the court followed.
Her action was more a sop to q
fierce pride than it was quitting.

we, by willingly and courageously

Wheat Plan Based on 81 Per Cent Market

T HE processing tax allotments, which will be
made to farmers cooperating in the CROP
reduction program contemplates a domestic
consumption Of about 81 per cent of the aver
age crop of the past five years. 1t is estimated
that 456198588 bushels will supply the do
mestic demand while the crop average has been
844,8 4,812,200.
In applying the benefits to the 54 per cent
Of the crop going into the domestic market, the
Government will pay minimum of % cents
and a maximum of 80 cents bushel to farm
ers signing the limitation contracts. OF this
amount, 20 cents will be paid this Fall and
the balance next Spring. The total payment
contemplated amounts to a maximum Of
$136, ,00O, 900.
The first payment will be made this Fall
when the allotment agreements are made and
the other part In the Spring when proof Of
acreage reduction Is given.
The extent Of the acreage reduction depends
entirely upon what agreement Is reached at
the World Wheat Conference at London.
Announcement Of the allotments brings the
wheat plan another step closer to the point

Citations can go actively to work at making In

Announcement of the allotments Vil - sent
to every county wheat production Untrol as
sociation and will be the basis upon Ihich they
will make the individual farm allotA ents.
Announcement of the allotments enables
ready computation of possible benefits to any
single county. If every farmer should sign up
in any county, the approximate amount Of
money which would come in that county as .
result of the adjustment payments can be de-
termined by multiplying the countys bushelage
allotment by % cents, the minimum payment.
To compute the amount that would come in this
Fall in the initial payment if every farmer
signed multiplying the allotment by 20 cents,
would give the answer.
Possible benefits and increases in rural pur-
chasing power to result from application of the
wheat plan can be estimated by multiplying
State allotment by % cents. For instance, If
all farmers accept Kansas would receive total
payments of about s25,50O,000, with approM-
mately $18, 900 900 of it available in the initial
payments this Fall; North Dakota would receive
