NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Washing-
tons reputation as stepping stone
for pennant ambitions of other out
fits remained unsmirched here to-
day as the suddenly sizzling Yam
KEGS continued their drive for a
fifth straight flag by defeating the
Nationals, IL, on the three-hit
pitching Of Atley Donald.
Holding to their pace at five
games behind Cleveland in getting
their fifth consecutive decision and
their eighteenth in 81 games, the
Yankees dealt burly Joe Krakaukas
an artistic and physical lacing in
an engagement featuring Is bases
on balls, of which were issued by
Donald.
The Yankees also exhibited home
runs by Joe Gordon and Tommy
Heinrich and a steal of home by
frankie Crosetti in humiliating the
Mats, who absorbed their fourth
straight defeat.
Mats Score Early, Then Quit.
Washington grasped 10 lead in
the second inning when Cecil Travis
walked, moved to third as Buddy
Myer drilled a single to center, and
scored as Jack Sanford drove into
double play, but Gordon's homer
over the outstretched glove hand of
Right-Fielder Buddy Lewis locked
the score for New York in the third
After retiring Jake Powell and
Babe Dahlgren in the fourth, Kra-
kauskas, who still is searching for
that first win of the season, bumped
into trouble by walking Crosetti and
Donald. When Krakky unleashed
a wild pitch Crosetti scored by vir-
tue of colliding heavily with Joe at
the plate.
Crosetti neglected the formality
of slide, running into Krakky, who
was set for Catcher Rick Ferrell's
throw from the screen back of the
plate, and chipping some of the
large Lithuanian's teeth. Krakky
remained on the mound for a while,
but hardly with refreshing results.
Cr0setti Steals Home.
The Yankees increased their lead
to 81 in the fifth, when Red Rolfe
doubled through Sanford and scored
on Joe Di Maggio's single to left
and added another run in the sixth
when Donald singled to left with two
out and scored on Gordon's double to
left. Krakky then walked Rolfe
and Heinrich in order before Joe
Haynes entered the game with the

Mats Buy 13 Players,
Recall Six Others
From Minors
Vernon, First Bosemon
At Jersey City, Among
Five Soon to Report

Evidently hopeful of plucking
another Sid Hudson from the bushes
grab-bag, Clark Griffith, president
of the Washington club, last night
announced the recall of six players
out on option to minor league clubs
this year and the purchase of l3
others.
Only one of the 10, Vernon, toll
ing at first base for Jersey City in
the International League, is in a
high-class circuit The remainder
nall from distinctly low-caliber
leagues. Broken down into positions,
the list includes nine pitchers, a
catcher, six infielders and three
outfielders.
Mellendeck Is Recalled.
Five will be brought up this month
when their respective leagues have
closed. In this group are Vernon,
who has regained his stride at bat
and afield; Joe Mellendeck, former
Georgetown grid star, who is serv-
ing his apprenticeship with Green
vile, S. c.; Jim Mallory, former
North Carolina grid star, now with
the Sanford IN. c. club in the semi
pro tournament finals at Wichita,
Kans., and Lou Truman, Charlotte
pitcher, and Sherrard Robertson,
Charlotte infielder and Griff's adopt
ed son.
Griff is enthused about the
prospects of the five coming back
this month. Mallory, he says, is a
natural and a cinch to make the
grade. Mellendeck, although hitting
only .281, has been getting his base
knocks when they counted most and
is developing rapidly. Robertson is
beginning to show his true worth
as an irfielder and Truman was
decidedly impressive despite his
record of 9 victories and II de-
feats

Hit69, a Off Par
BY WALTER McCALLUM,
Star STAFF Correspondent.

HERSHEY, Pa, Aug. 31-As an
anti-climax to the wettest, most
dismal Professional Golfers Asso-
citation tournament, the seminal
round in the 1910 edition of the
title affair was called off today
when a cloudburst, following a week
of steady rain, flooded the fairways
of the Hershey Country Club and
rendered play impossible.
Slamming Sam Snead of Shawnee,
Pa, with 4-under-par SO over the
first half of the semifinal, will
resume his half-completed match
tomorrow at 1:45 against Harold
McSpaden of Winchester. Mass.
Snead finished the first half of the
postponed semif1nal match 3 up on
McSpaden, who was runnerup for
the title three years ago.
Byron Nelson, 1899 National Open
king, will resume his struggle against
Ralph Guldahl, 1887 and 1888 Open
champion, Is minute later. Nelson
will start the final 18 holes ! up on
Guldahl.
The 36-hole final round will be
played Monday.
1t is the first time in the %
years Of P. G. A. championships
that an entire round has been post
poned.
GuldahIs Play Surprises.
In many ways this tournament
has been unusual. In the first
place, Guldahl, who has been tabled
by the pros as strictly a medal
player, Is in the semiflnal and is
18 under par for $50 holes. But he
shot 10 through the drizzle which
preceded the cloudburst and was l
down to Nelson's SO in a battle of
brides. Nelson had four and Gull
dahl had three.
In the second place none of the
four semiflnalists has won P.
q. A. title. McSpaden missed by a
putt in 1887 and Snead was licked
by Runyan by an 8-and-7 margin in
the 1888 final.
Looking over the Hershey course
after play was Cancelled today, YOU
saw strips of fairway bounded by
rivers of water. Even the Oldest
correspondents cannot remember a
championship tournament as wet as
has been this one.
I've been here more than a week
and it's rained every minute" said
one. 81 haven't had my rubbers off
In seven days" And the rain con-
tinues as if it doesn't intend to
stop. There's big question as to
whether play can be resumed to-
morrow. From the way it looks to-
night those fairways won't be dry
within less than SO hours.
Golf Fine Despite Rain.
All of the semifnalists put on
remarkably fine exhibitions of golf
as they slogged through a drizzle
and just had entered the clubhouse
Tor lunch when the deluge came.
Within 80 minutes some of the low
lying fairways were submerged,
ounkers had lost part of their sand
and, all in all, conditions hardly
were mt for championship golf.
Snead, hitting the ball a country
mile and putting like a wizard,
picked up four brides against the
tough McSpaden. Sammy is out for
revenge. McSpaden licked him in
1887. Nelson's iron shots, always
the most effective part of his game,
were splitting the pins in the heavy
going. while Guldahl plodded along
content to let Nelson's hot streak
play itself out.
If Monday isn't clear day the
sponsors of this tourney are going
to take a bad licking. The galleries
here have been sparse and they
won't be any better unless the rain
lets up.
The whole thing has been all wet.

Alexandra Carrasquel assumed
Washington's pitching burden in
the seventh, and the Yankees
pounced on him for three runs in
the eighth.
Crosetti walked to start the in
ming and moved to third on Donald s
sacrifice and Gordon's infleld out.
He them embarrassed the noncfla-
liant Carrasquel by stealing home
while the grim-visaged Venezuelan
slumbered.
Thus perturbed, Carrasquel walked
Rolfe. and Heinrich inserted his
homer at that point, the ball barely
clearing the leaping Lewis glove
to enter the stands.
Easy Game for Donald.
Meanwhile the Mats were disturb
ing Donald. The big right-hander,
who earned his fifth win, was in
trouble only twice in the last six
innings, allowing only one hit over
that span.
A ray of hope sifted through to
the Mats when Jimmy Pofahl sin
gled to left and Ferreu walked with
one out in the seventh, but Donald
retired Pinch-hitter Jake Early on
a fly to Powell and forced George
Case to pop to Crosetti.
Donald loaded the bases with two
out in the ninth by walking Fer
rell for the fourth straight time and
issuing other passes to Buddy Myer
and Pinch-hitter Sammy West, but
Case ended the game by lifting a
lazy fly to Di Maggie.
The Yankees hammered Krakaus-
kas and Carrasquel for 10 hits in
administering Washington its ninth
defeat in II games with New York
thus far this season.

CHICAGOAN FINDS
FISHING TATLORMADE=

When Michael Curtin, of Chicago,
was in Sank Centre for a visit at
the P. ]. Brophy home, he wanted
one thing. To go on fishing trip
where good big Minnesota variety
could be caught and then get his
picture taken with the prize. That's
what he told Steve Deziel. Steve
was anxious enough to please but
not so sure it could be done on the
first try. So out they went so that
Mike could show Chicago. They did
it. Steve, last Thursday, drew from
Fairy Lake a nine pound northern,
that measured from the tip Of his
ugly snout to the crotch of his tail,
33 inches. The fish broke one hook
and bent the others of plug, but
Mike went back to Chicago with a,
fishing trip tailormade. He'll get
the pictures this week.

mosphere, and sound moral atti-
tudes in children.
We have noticed that in some
homes outward expressions of devo-
ton and worship are less frequent.
That this will result in religious
indifference is to be feared. Will
this indifference make it easier for
deciples of communism to plant
their seeds of atheism?
The Juvenile Court finds one of
its most powerful and effective
means for correction in the church.
Children and their parents appear
ing before this tribunal generally
respond to suggestions, to improve
in or renew church attendance and
usually the results are happy.
When boy tells us that he is
attending church services and Sun
day schools better than before;
when he tells us that he has con-
fessed his mistakes and has resolv-
ed to be on good behavior, we feel
great satisfaction in having had an
opportunity to help him to better
ways.
THE DELINQUENT CHILD
Children can be brought before
the Juvenile Court until they are
Is years of age. Some think the
age limit is too high; that children
should be held criminally liable for
law violations after adolescence,
say about Is or 16 years. Until the

however, except for offenses of a
serious nature, when the Juvenile
Court Is authorized by law to turn
child over to the County Attorn-
ey for prosecution under the GRIM
inal laws of the state.
When we consider that prior to
the enactment of juvenile court
laws, children of tender age were
often subjected to severe punish
ment by criminal courts and even
imprisoned for long periods Of
time, we must appreciate the pre-
sent humane laws enacted to take
care of delinquent children; with a
view chiefly of setting them right.
If Father flanagan is right in his
claim that there are no really bad
boys, that boys doing bad things do
so thoughtlessly either on account
of lack of proper guidance or be-
cause of bad influences in the
home or community, the aim of the
Juvenile Court and those working
i with it should be to accomplish
correction rather than punishment
of these children. BY this we do not
intend to convey the idea that
there should be no punishment at
all, but rather that whatever pun
ishment is imposed should be one
Of the factors to bring about a
change for better conduct in the
future. In connection with the cor
rection of children we are remind
ed of the good shepherd who left
his 80 sheep to look for one lost
one, and when he found it reioiced
with the neighbors over the finding
of this one lost sheep. We are also
reminded Of the prodigal son, for
whom the father prepared a feast
when he returned.

TWO LARGE WALLEYES-

A group of fishermen from Will
mar caught two large walleyes at
Fairy Lake Sunday Both of these
fish tipped the scales at seven
pounds, said A. D. Olson. One of
the group lost a large fish, which
broke his line above the bobber.
Later one of his partners felt a tug
and when he pulled up found his
hook and minnow wrapped about
the bobber, and he pulled in the
fish about two hours after he broke
the other fellows line. A. D. Olson
also vouches for the truth of that
story, and we say its good yarn.
