Should the Pirates win but half
of their remaining games, the sec
ond place Chicago Cubs would
need 10 victories out of their re-
naming eleven games in order to
cheat the Pirates of the privilege
of playing the New York Yam

October 5.
But regardless of the hopeless
task that confronts the Cubs, their
Bill Lee and Clay Bryant must be
accorded most Of the credit for
keeping the Cubs battling the
Pirates right down to the wire.
Lee pitched his fourth consecu-
tive shutout to equal the league
record when he turned back the
Phils, to 0. He now shares the
record with Old Ed Reulbach. of

Ostend by Sand Mole-Vanity
Fair was purchased by William B.
STREET. for DR.. Allen, and was de-
veloped entirely by Mr.. STREET..
He broke down in the rear tendon
in September of 1882, so badly,
that it was impossible to move him
from his quarters for treatment.
DR.. Humphrey began a series of
diathermic treatments on Os-
tends tendon, after which he not
only went back into training but
won the Middleburg Cup Steeple-
chase the following April.
FULLY RECEIVERS
Ostend completely recovered
from his bowed tendon and raced
three miles over timber without
bandages. He went on to win
many victories and was the out
standing jumper of last season.
Corn Dodger, by Dodge out of
Frances Jane, stepped into promi-
nence when he defeated Ostend in
the Middleburg Cup Steeplechase

OPENS
GRID SEASON

Eastern High School begins its
1888 football season today on its
own gridiron when it meets Episco-
pal High School at $3.50 o'clock.
Last season Episcopal was one
of the few teams to defeat the in
terhigh school champions of 1887
who will be striving today to off
set that defeat. The visitors were
weakened considerably by gradua-
tions, but Eastern lost every one OF
it's regulars last June. The East
ern team is expected to lineup as
follows:
Coach Artie Boyd, of Eastern,
will start the following players:
Ends, ]. Kirk and Carroll; tackles,
Vaniglio and Kidwell; guards,
Pieri and Kirk; center, McAlwee;
quarterback, Best; halfback, 500

Corn Dodqer, Ostend Battle for
Supremacy in Chase Tomorrow

last April. He was purchased by
Mrs. Gould from Mrs. Marion du
Pont Scott, and was turned over
to Jack Skinner, of Middleburg,
Va, to handle.
When owned by Mrs. Scott, Corn
Dodger met with an accident that
almost cost him his life. In a race
a Middleburg, with the late Noel
Laing aboard, he swerved enter
ing the jump and rode the wing
full length of a 16-foot board, al
most severing one front leg.
He, too, was turned over to DR..
Humphrey and came out within
q year and soon thereafter won
his first race.
Corn Dodger is not only trained
by Jack Skinner but Is also ridden
by him. Mr.. Skinner is the Oldest
gentleman rider in action today.
Tomorrow in the Meadow Brook
Steeplechase, another story can
be told. Who is it-Corn Dodger
or Ostend? Maybe Ambrose Clark
with his capable jumpers will up
set them both. Time viii only tell.

CHICAGO, Sept. % Q.NSD T..
History was in fair way of re-
peating itself with Mrs. Estelle
Lawson Page and Patty Berg
headed today toward another
meeting in the finals of the Wom-
ems national golf tournament.
Standing in the way of that pic
ture were Peggy Graham, of Holly
wood, Calf, and Marion Miley, Of
Lexington, KY, as the semifinals
got under way at the WeStmore-
land course.
If the matches were limited to
six instead of 18 holes the chances
of renewal in the fight would be
slim, indeed, the way this tourna-
ment has gone. Neither Mrs.
Page or Patty seem to be able to
get started until they have that
much of a Warmup. ..
Mrs. Page, whose home is in
Greensboro, N. c., didn't start
playing golf until five years ago.
She won the title last year by
walloping Patty, 7 and 6, in the
finals at Memphis, has been
medalist in 1896 and 1887 and was
co-medalist this year. She also
holds the American competitive
scoring record of SO for women.
Yesterday, it really looked like
curtains when Dorothy Traung, OF
San Francisco, had Miss Berg
three down in the first six holes.
One doesn't wipe out margins like
that against a golfer of Miss
Traung's ability. But Patty did.
The finals tomorrow. at 36
holes, start at 10 a. m. The
matches today are to be played in
the afternoon.

DETTWE|LER and
BURKE FAVORED.
IN TITLE GOLF.
By Lillian RIXEY

The SemifinalS Of the District
amateur championship at Congress
sional today finds two Georgetown
University youngsters paired with
two Congressional golfers in a
battle for the crown which Billy
Shea lost yesterday when he was
put out of the first round OF the
tournament by Roger Peacock.
Billy Dettweiler, tournament
medalist, (and captain of the
Georgetown golf team, was sched-
uled to meet the surprise semi
f1nalist, Frank Goodwin, jr., Of
Congressional, who yesterday
afternoon eliminated Roger Pea
cock, in the quarter-fnal round Of
play. on the nineteenth hole.
BURKE PLAYS NOLAN
In the lower bracket, red.headed
Johnny Burke, also of George
town u, encounters that unruffled
veteran of the links, M. Parker
Nolan of Congressional. During
the three.day District champion
ship, Burke has progressed from
the role of dark horse to favor
ite, and it would not be too much
Of a surprise to find that this
afternoons finals develop into a
Georgetown VS.. Georgetown affair.
In yesterdays first and second
rounds, 12 players fell by the way
side in SO holes Of sudden-death
play. Most startling upset was
the elimination Of Roger Peacock,
twice District champion, by Frank
Goodwin, jr. Earlier in the day,
Peacock had defeated Billy Shea,
the defending champion, one up.
CLOSE MATCH
None of the other matches ran
contrary to advance rating. But
David Ross, of Capital, made a
bid for semifinal berth in his
match with M. Parker Nolan which
carried him well past the turn.
On the out-nine Ross shot 40
to put him two up to Nolan'S poor
IS. But from there on he started
slipping. Against a player Of No
lan's easy-going golfing disposi-
ton, the temperamental Capital
boy didn't seem to have a chance.
He dropped five holes in a row
after halving the tenth to Nolan's
5-3-4-S-4. He managed to halve
the sixteenth, but by that time
the match had run out Of holes.
Ross lost, 3 down and 2 to go.
