The win for Silver Slipper knot
ted the series at one game apiece.
The Hardware and Slipper will
meet in the third and final game
Tuesday night.
Ritter, who lost a decision to
Joe Hurst Tuesday night in the
first playoff game, returned to the
mound Wednesday to pitch his
masterpiece of the season.
He set down the Hardware with
eight hits and was invincible in
the pinches in the latter part of
the ball game.
Roy Lawless, who hadn't hit in
four straight games, came out of
his batting slump to poll out
home run in the sixth inning with
two mates on the sacks. That blow
was sufficient to beat the Hard
ware.
The Nailers made a last inning
effort to catch the Slipper when
Van Nostrand walked and went to
second on B. Payne's infield out.
Stewart walked but T. j. Payne
forced Van Nostrand at third.
Scroggins grounded to Sandez to
end the game.

emi-Pro Baseball Meet to
Open i'm Wichita: Teams
Arrive for Openers
Thrty-Two Teams
To Compete in
Annual Tourney
Rv GEORGE KIRK SLY

WICHITA. Kan, Aug. II. lUP)
Everyone in Wichita is willing
to talk about the National semi
pro baseball congress. From all I
gather it isn't a congress at all
but one of the hottest competitive
baseball tournaments in the land.
If you follow the major and min
or leagues from day to day you
may not think there's any baseball
played in the country except in
the organized ranks. If so it may
be a revelation to know that 80
clubs, survivors of a $4,000 team
derby which started in April, are
ready to compete in the congress.
The players on these clubs make
an average of from 500 to $3.50
a month. They come from all walks
in life-barbers, bootblacks, filling
station operators. cotton pickers,
Schoolboys. milkmen, taxi drivers,
machinists, sailors. CCC boys, COL
legians, and old men ready to re-
tire on their social security. They
love to play ball. Collectively they
constitute one reason why base
ball is called the national pas
time"
The teams will start competition
tomorrow night for the national
semi-pro title won last year by
the Enid, Oklahoma Eason Oilers,
back again to defend their laurels
The clubs which will compete
for two weeks were arriving today
by every method of transportation,
plane, bus, railroad, and auto.
The man behind the scenes Of
this semi-pro world series is Ray
Dumont. one time sporting goods
salesman who is doing as much
to promote baseball as Tom Yaw-
key. P K. Wrigley, Col. Jacob
Rupert, Walter o. Briggs or any
of the other millionaire major
club owners. Dumont is a quiet, un-
obstrusive fellow who in four years
has organized the biggest baseball
project outside the majors.

GOSHEN, N. Y, Aug. II. lUP)
- Lawrence B. Sheppard, who
knows his trotting horses and his
arithmetic, put pencil to paper to-
day and calculated that McLin,
winner of the Hambletonian stake,
had cost him $s57O net.
Only 10 days ago Sheppard, own
er of the Hanover Shoe Farms,
paid $4,000 in cash for McLin,
three year old bay son of Mr.
McElwyn, and the colt paid him
most of it back yesterday by step
ping to a straight-heats victory in
the worlds richest trotting classic.
The winners share of the $37 ,994.30
purse was $19994.30.

NEW YORK, Aug. II. CUP)-The
weeks delay in the lightweight
championship fight between Lou
Ambers and Henry Armstrong is
expected to benefit the little Negro
who will 90 after his third title in
Madison Square Garden Wednes-
day.
Both fighters returned to their
New Jersey training camps today,
faced with the problem of main
tanning razor edge condition for
seven days. They were ready to

but rain that grew harder by the
minute forced Promoter Mike ia

Shakeup for Giants


The long waited rebuilding of the
New York Giants is apparently due.
Last season the Giants won the
pennant with a late season rush.
They continued That rush in the
early part of the 1888 season, then
folded. Today the Giants are six
and one-half games out OF first
place and are fading fast.
Their pitching has been poor.
Even King Carl Hubbell has gone
sour. Their batting has been weak.
Their defense has virtually fallen
apart. Even the usually dellable
Dick Bartell is muTIing 'em.
Harry Stoneman is again pound
ing the marble table. Bill Terry Is
ready to tear his hair. Those are
good signs that the Giants are get
ting ready to secure new material
for next season, possibly for the
tail end of this season.
That Survey Again
Not exactly sports, but I'm still
conducting a survey of light blink
ing on the highway. Thirty out OF
Al cars failed to dim their lights
the other night on the road from
Jacumba to Ell CentrO.

Have you ever felt moderately
satisfied with your job and the
method IN which you have been
discharging the duties of that job?
I felt I was doing fairly we'll in
the sports writing line until the
other day, especially after I had
just found a sport in which 1
could not miss as a prognosticator,
when a youth, who had not entered
high school, asked me simple
question.
The question, and I hae to repeat
it, was:
Are you ALWAYS going to be
a newspaperman?"
The question, and hate to repeat
ternativeS. One was to impress the
youngster with the Importance OF
sports editors job. The other was
to find a more important job.
The former appeared to be the
easiest way out. SO, starting to-
morrow, l am going to conduct a
class for one young boy.
Lesson number one will consist OF
fundamental work in impressing
my class in the public service ac-
complished by newspapers and why
sports editors exist.
l hope that my class doesn't ask
any more questions.

CHICAGO GRAINS

CHICAGO. Aug. Il. UP) - The
larger than expected government
crop estimate and sharply lower
outside market caused selling in
wheat on the Chicago Board of
Trade today which carried prices
about III cents below previous
closing levels.
September wheat hit a new five
year low and other months came
within fractions of previous low
marks before the decline was check
Jy mill and export buying.
On the downturn in Chicago fair
buying by milling interests was
noted and support was also given
by export interests, but no sus-
tanned demand developed.
Export sales Of North American
wheat today were estimated up
ward of 100000 bushels, most OF
which was new crop ManitObas.

Harridge Turns

Not so many years ago Will Har-
ridge, president of the American
league, was pralsing Babe Ruth as
the greatest ball player of all time.
The American league president
touted the Babe as one of baseball's
most important figures.
Today Presidnet Harridge Tas
had change of heart. He flayed the
efforts of the Brooklyn Dodgers in
the National league, to revive base
ball interest in their city. He made
yelled insults at Babe Ruth, who
has now become a coach with the
Brooklyn Dodgers.
Perhaps Harridge is upset because
Babes presence on the Brooklyn
payroll has increased the attendance
at the Flatbush park and has i'm
proved the morale Of the Brooklyn
players.

By HENRY McLEMORE

NEW YORK, Aug. Ii. CUP)-
Section II of rule % in the sports
writer's manual says that when
fight is postponed, stories on
the day following should be de-
voted to the effects of the post
ponement on the fighters.
1 am now about to lose my
union card. l am not going 10
write about the reactions of Henry
Armstrong and Lou AmberS after
learning their lightweight cham
pionship fight had been set for
ward a week. That would involve
guesswork, so 1 am going to write
about the effect of the postpone
ment on sports WriterS-men who
had keyed themselves to do prose
poems on the bout.
Take a fellow 1 know by the
name of Henry McLemore, for
example For a week McLemore had
been outlining in his mind the
story he would write. Every adjec-
tive, every adverb and verb he
knew was trained to the minute.
All his cliches were in the pink.
Then the rains came and Pro-
moter Mike Jacobs, speaking from
behind a prehistoric set of teeth,
said AmberS and Armstrong would
not fight until the middle of next
week.
Today McLemore stood in need
of a prose TRANSMISSION. Before he
can properly write the next fight
he must go to a hospital and have
a Webster'S unabridged dictionary,
and a Roget's ThesauruS, replenish
his veins with high sounding
words.
McLemore is also suffering from
an acute attack of whatever it
is you get from sitting in the Polo
Grounds at night when it is rain
ing, raining hard. A firm believer
in the Weatherman, McLemore went
to the Polo Grounds last night
clad in nothing but a seersucker
suit. He had been told it would
be warm, clear night and he
dress for a warm, clear night
When the first cat and dog hit
him, the thought it was but a
prank of an acquaintance behind
him. When the second, third and
fourth cat and dog hit him, he
began TO suspect it was raining
cats and dogs. His suspicious were
solidified into fact when his type
writer suddenly became covered
with airedales, persians, manXes
scotties, malteses, elbows and al
leys.
Then lobar pneumonia set in
accompanied by chillS, fever and
growing pains. Hurriedly throwing
an oxygen tent about himself, Nc
Lemore fled from the Polo Grounds
wondering if in a week he would
| bu AZ w IOFCi CilC f1iiiDCI q f1l III
strong fight.
On his way out he met a very
sad man. The very sad man was
Mike Jacobs, the promoter of this
fight. Jacobs cursed the weather
and spoke bitterly of his luck.
Il don't see why the rain had
to come tonie;lt,s Jacobs said,
when l had so many customers
in the stands, and SO many thou
sands outside fighting for tickets.
Yessir, the rain was as unwel-
come to Jacobs as it would have
been to dust bowler There were
MT more than 1000 persons in the
Polo Grounds, and there were more
cops than customers in the streets
outside, when the postponement
was announced The rain gave
Mike another week to try and
breath a breath of life into a flick
ering fight.

reached out to his wife and surrounded her
with all that Newberry had given - quiet
understanding.
When the right time came, he drove back,
took the road across the hills, and stopped in
byway where the little expresses and the
intertangling of the second-growth forest, like
smoke, concealed the automobile perfectly.
Then be took the old revolver, dropped it
into the deep pocket of his overcoat, and went
on down the hill to Tappan Creek. The short
cut to the station ran right past the curve of
the creek, at one point, and at this place he
stepped into cluster of tough evergreens,

grass, at last had wofmed himself into the
innermost mind of Mary and now Ashton had
no place in her soul. He disgusted her. He
remembered, now how often she looked down,
suddenly, when he was talking. yelling some
thing in her eyes. That happened as rule
when he came home little high, his words
stumbling, pulse tingling in his thickened
lips. Newberry used to look down, also. They
had gentle voices, those two, and their man.
ners were exactly the same. 1t seemed to Ash
ton that he had been the blindest damned
fool in the world but once he had Newberry
out of the way he would cut down on the
liquor, trim off some of the extra poundage,
and bring Mary back to him:
After he had decided to kill the man he had
two fears. One was that he might relent at the
moment for action and the other was that
conscience might torment him after the thing
had been accomplished. But as for the law,
he had not the slightest fear of it for he had
seen. with a perfectly clear insight, exactly
how Newberry should be disposed of. 1t
needed no planning, no talking, no persuading
on his part. At Sunday lunch, Newberry an
nounced that he was taking the evening train
back to the city instead of waiting over for
Monday morning and going in with the rest
of them; and the moment this was clear, Ash
ton knew that his man never would reach
that train.
1t was perfectly simple. In the middle of
the December afternoon, he took the car
promised to be back in time to drive New
berry to the station, and whizzed away along
the northern road 1t was hardly more than
a half mile over the hill to the railroad and
when he was tardy, they would take it for
granted that he was stalled once more in some
tavern along the way; Newberry would leave
his bag behind him and saunter off to the sta
tion in plenty of time.
He loitered for two hours along byroads,
driving slowly and never thinking back a
