WICHITA, Kans., Aug. 25-The
national semipro baseball tourna-
ment lost its defending champion,
but found new sensation"
The sensation" is Roy Helser, "a
year-old lumber mill straw boss, "
who was called to the mound as a
relief hurler last night for the Sill
verton, Greg, Red Sox after Buford,
Ga, defending champion, began
finding the range on Bob White.
Helser stopped the champions
with four hits and shut them out,
6 to 0, pounded out a home run and
drove in another counter with a sin
gle.
The victory, which moved Silverton
into Saturdays semifinals, was Hell
ser's fourth in as many starts. Given
a try-out as high school boy by the
Cincinnati Reds, he failed to make
the grade because Of wildness and
was released.
The defeat was Buford's second
and eliminated the Georgians.

the semif1nals by eliminating Golden

Cambria s Club
Rules Washington Can
Return Prichurd and
Weloj to Springfield

Scout Joe Cambria of the Ma
tionals may not be free of all disci-
plinary measures to be dictated by
Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw NJ
Lands, but help for his stricken
Springfield club of the Eastern
League was granted today.
For Lands last night decided,
after consulting with Cambria's law
yer in Chicago, that First Baseman
Bob Prichard and Outfelder Johnny
Welaj could be returned to Spring.
field by Washington.
Last week Lands threw bomb
shell into the Nationals chain-store
system by barring several players
from three farm clubs. The team
hardest hit was Springfield, leading
the Eastern League by a narrow
margin. When Prichard and Wela1
were ordered sent back to WASH
ington the Springfelds dropped out
of the lead.
Griff in the Dark.
AS soon as the latest verdict was
received in Springfield, kilograms
hastily were sent to President Clark
Griffith of the Mats asking if Prich-
ard and Welaj would be returned.
Griff still doesn't know about Lam
dis change of heart. The old gen.
tleman left yesterday to watch his
Charlotte farmhands in action in
Piedmont League contest and he
isn't due in the city until late to-
night.
1t is a cinch, however, that
Springfield will be given a first
baseman. There is no room for
both Prichard and Jimmy Vernon
on the Washington club, and one
undoubtedly will be shipped back
tonight. The chances are that 1t
will be Prichard. Neither is show
ing signs of hitting major league
pitching consistently, but Vernon is
younger and adjudged the superior
fielder.
Springfield Pilot Reasonable.
AS for Welaj, not even the Spring.
field manager, Spencer Abbot, is
hopeful of getting him back. In
telegram to Griffith he asked for
Prichard Immediately and indicated
he would be happy to get Welaj
too. But Abbot qualified, IT
realize you have only four outfeld-
ers without Welaj and may want
to keep him." F.E.S.

As Red Sox Prove
Easy for Chisox
BY SID FEDER.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

Who said it can't happen here?
Who said the Dodgers, on paper,
had as much chance of making it
tough for National League leader
as they had of doing the big apple in
the Gowanus Canal? And who said
the futile Phillies were a major
league club only because they held a
franchise? And who laughed at the
idea either had piece to speak in
pennant talk?
Well, sir, there they are this morn
ing: The Dodgers with five straight
wins, four of them against the very
select Cincinnati Reds and the
somewhat gasless Gas House Gang
from St. Louis, and the Phillies with
an even break in four outings with
the same outfits. They topped it off
last night when the Dodgers downed
the Rhinelanders, Al, and the Phils
fattened the Cards, 6-5.
Can 1t be these two old playfel-
lows are out to make history re-
peat? You may remember they did
a little job on the Giants back there
in "a, when Sweet William Terry got
in the Dodgers hair.
Yanks Smother Browns.
Or can it be the Reds and Cards
have been reading the papers again?
You know. the sports pages-where
the box scores of the New York
Yankees are prominently displayed?
The Yankees are almost a cinch to
be the other half of the world series
this fall, and there was nothing to
cheer up prospective rival in the
way they piled up 20 hits Wednes-
day and then followed it up with an
lis win over the st. Louis Browns
yesterday, tossing in three homers
for good measure.
All of this firing, together with
a 81 nighttime party the Chicago
White Sox enjoyed at the expense
of the Boston Red Sox. left the
Yanks nine games on top in the
American League and the Reds 5lz
in the National. But the Chicago
Cubs and Dodgers are coming a

the Dodgers are only 6la away from

Challengers Look Weak.
The Reds, Cards and Red Sox were
woeful looking challengers last
night. Tot Presnell toyed with the
Reds the whole way. The Cards, who
were on fire a week ago, not only
were chilled by the Phils, but blew
five-run lead in the process, chiefly
because old Syl johnson tossed
one-hit, five-inning relief job. And
Johnny Rigney, in downing the Red
Sox, famed eight, including Jimmy
FoSx four times, which dropped Foxx
to 1863 in the batting column, while
Joe Di Maggie, collecting three hits
in st. Louis, got back into the 400
class.
Max Butcher won his second
straight for the Pittsburgh Pirates,
nipping the New York Giants, 4-3,
with six-hitter. The Cleveland
Indians fired their heavy artillery
at the Athletics, banging out 20 hits
for 1912 and 17-2 doubleheader
