Detroit, Sept. io.-tuP).-The De- troit Lions, 1895 professional foot- ball champions, were of to c head start in the National League grid race today.
 They beat the Pittsburgh Pirates l0.T last night before e eApaeity crowd of le,00o. The Pirates "won. der boy" Byron (WhiEzer) White from Colorado University, made Pittsburgh's only touchdown in the final period. But for most part the whizzer, AS well as his mates, waS thoroughly outclassed.
 The Pirates failed to cross mid- field until tho fourth quarter when White, on the receiving end of a 3b-yard pass from Max Fiske, was brought down on Detroits 37.yard line. A few moments later, however Pittsburgh's si5,000 beauty sumbled q punt on his l5-yard marker and barely managed to recover before be. ing downed on the four.
 White, who gained but l2 yards in the l6 minutes he played during the first half, went over the Lion goal line from the three-yard line after e concerted Pirate drive from the 46. that included two passes, Stew Smith to Paul McDonough.
 Detroit clinched the game In the first quarter with touchdown and @ field goal. Ernie Caddell crossed the Pirate goal line and Bill Shep- herd added the next three points with a place kick. Lloyd Cardwell gave the Lions their other touch- down in the second period, and Monk Moscrip. who came to Detroit from Stanford this year, added the extra point.
 The Pirates will return to action tomorrow night, entertaining the New York Giants at Pittsburgh, while Washington plays at Philadel- phia, Cleveland at Green Bay and the Cardinals meet the Bears at Chicago.

 Forest Hills, N. r., Sept. i0--tUp) A pair of pants, Q miracle of med- ern medicine, 6 worlds record for outdoor stage fright, and c news paperman.
 These were tho features of the second day of play in the national tennis singles championships, here in this hotbod Of pseudo tudor architecture.
 Pants ArFestlng
 The pants belonged ot Frank Xavier Shields, late of Hollywood and 0 former American Davis cup star. Hanging alone in Q closet the pants would have attracted more than normal curiosity, but with MT, Shields In them, and dashing about court, they were positively ar. resting, Until yesterday ShieidS had not worn tho pants since he was junior champion back in 1928, He didn't mean to wear them yesterday, but in Q hurry, he grabbed them from Q stack of fannelS by mistake,
 The label on bottle Ats much more loosely than the pants did Frank. They rivaled hls skin for snugnesS md while his was not Q close match, the spectators held their breaths every time he made c shot, for fear the perseeuGed seams of the trousers would give way. When he finally banged home Q smash to end the match c great sigh came up from the crowd. Then 0 rousing eheer-for the game little pants which had held on against tremendous odds.
 MT, Donald Budge, the defending champion - MT. Tennis, himself- was the fellow who demonstrated that modern medicine is pure magic. Before he took the court against a fellow Californian, Welby. Van Horn, reports that Budge was i'll and would not be able to compete were as numerous as officials with big badges.
 One heard mention of such things as temperature, laboratory tests, sides, giddiness and specialists. Every one expected J. Donald, if he came on the court at all, to, come swathed in blankets and hot water bottles, and riding in 8 wheel chair. No one would have been surprised If a doctor had been assigned to umpire and internes named as ball boys.
 Then out pranced J. Donald as full of health as bushel basket of spinach. His corpuscles were as red as his hair, and he fairly radi- ated the happy type of vitamins. He was so strong that he could have swapped his fiannels for a leopard skin and posed for Lionel Strong fort advertisement. If he were sick, then the Rock 10 Gibraltar is a paper weight and two can live cheaply as one.
 Record Stage Fright
 wouldn't be surprised if this amazing transformation from in- valid to strong man didn't have quite 8 bit to do with the disin- tegration of Welby Van Horn, the young man who established the worlds record for outdoor stage fright. Despite his tender age. Master Van Horn is possessor of a beautiful tennis game. and was ex- pected to give Budge @ real battle. Instead he lost GO. 60, 6--i in . sout that made Napoleons de-

Litehfieid and Torrington baseball clubs have been engaging in Q SC. ries to decide the best team in the Valley League for 1888 will batter baseballS off one anotheF's defense, the better part of Sunday after noon in the third and deciding game of the titular classics.
 Or perhaps it would be more fit- ting to say that rival batter will attempt to shoot the pellet through that little space that is just out of tho infielders reach or drop hits into that now faded green outfield so crowded by those fleet footed fly ehasers, For my friend it's the general feeling that base hits are going to Do mighty scarce when those two abled bodied moundsman, Pete Kapura of Litehfield and Joey Jay, pride of the New City, start unlimbering tho two good right arms they so proudly possess, Sun day itlid.day ct Community field.

The real feature of the afternoon.
 It is q flip-a-coin proposition, neutral fans will tell you but botl, Litchfield and Toyrington fans will back up their team to the fullest extent and they have too many rooters for one to argue with, So get out the family car, tell the wife your going for a ride in the hills and end up at Community field in Litchfield by 3 D. m. and we guar aftee VOii WOnk reorat it

 New York, Sept. io-tuP)--Thc latest crazy twist to the National League pennant race today found the revived Chicago Cubs in tho throes of enc of their blazing win ming streaks and pounding close to the heels of the unpredictable Pittsburgh Pirates.
 If the Cubs can make as much progress within the next week as they did the past seven days they'll be ali even with the Pirates. A week ago the Cubs lost 6 double. header to the Reds and dropped seven games off the pace. They looked eli done Tor, But in c gnl. lant comeback they licked off six straight victories--one from the Reds, two from the Pirates and three from the CardlnalS--and Blic- ed pittSburgh'S leed to . leg games.

That was the year the Cubs notch. cd 2l straight and marched down the stretch to the pennant. There's something about the spirit Of this Cub team and the way they keep bouncing back that labels them c dangerous contender. When Hart- nett broke his thumb last month, the experts sighed anod said "there goes the Cubs pennant chances. . But Hartnett, broken thumb and all, has infused his flaming spirit into the Cubs and heading Into the stretch they are playing the scrap. pieSt game In the league.
 The Cubs swept their 3-game SC. ries with the cards by squeezing six hits into four runs to win the final, 4-2. Clay Bryant, pitching super ply when men were on base, scored his 18th victory although rapped for ten hits. urges single, Bryant'S double, Hacks single, Hermans long fly and Reynolds single gave tho Cubs three runs off Lon Warneke In the third.

parture from Moscow as orderly as a West Point choir practice. Master Van Horn shook so at the thought of playing the champion of the world, on the center court, in the great stadium, and before thou sands of spectators, that he all but shook to pieces.
 The newspapermari mentioned in the first paragraph of this article is one Mervyn Weston of Sydney, Australia. Over here to report the doings of the Australian Davis cup. pers, he jolly well entered the championship for a spot of exercise, and is now in the third round.
 Trained to the minute on scotch aad soda, dinner parties and the "Shag," Weston defeated Gregory Mangin, several times our national indoor champion, in the first round and a capable player named Lynch in the second. Weary in the legs, and with lot of work to do, Wes- ton hopes he will lose tomorrow, but is afraid he won't.
