Tulsa won the Western-Southern baseball championship bj defeating the Mobile Club this afternoon at Monroe Park, I to 0, due to the effective pitching of Dave Dan forth, former mom bar of the St. Louis Browns. Tulsa won four games. Mobile one. the big show, and incidentally- will probably provide the clowning fort the affair.

The big, Jovial catcher has steadily remained In the .300 class of hitters all season, until he was shifted to first base, and the new surroundings affected his batting eye until he finished the season with an average in the neighborhood of 280 a sizeable averago itself. Roy Moore will probably mount the slab for the Legionnaires and furnish the fans of Austin with a real big league pitching duel. Moore is generally acknowledged to have more "stuff than any southpaw in the American League, but he has been inactive for the greater part of the season. Should Collins be traded to Detroit next season, Austin can boast of having two pitchers on one big league club not so bad for a burg of 40,000 souls. The remainder of the Independents will be gathered from the Varsity stars.

With Boston, Detroit or any of the remaining clubs in the circuit, however, Collins should prove to be one of the greatest twirlers of the 1923 season. Collins will twirl at least part of today's game. Bartlett McMellan will be the other member of the big leaguers' pitching staff, and although the former Varsity star has not been used by the Athletics this past season, the fact that he was retained all season is evidence enough that he is considered promising.

At the resumption of play in the second quarter Stacy and Culp smashed the ball to the 1-yard line and after a long lateral dash Stacy raced across for a touchdown. Robertson kicked successfully for the extra point.

After the kiekoff by Texas following this to-hdown, Phillips attempted a pass and Curtis intercepted, racing .25 yards for the second touchdown. Robertson again place-kicked for the extra point. At this juncture Coach Whitaker sent In nine substitutes and after a few more minutes of hard p'ay, Colt for Texas recovered a bad pass by the Phillips center on the Haymakers 20-yard line. A few momenta later Robertson place-kicked for a pretty field goal from the 17-yard line. It was at this point that Phillips came to life and after recovering a Texas fumble on the Longhorns' 15-yard line, tried for a touchdown and failed.

An exchange of punts gave the Haymakers the ball on the Longhorns' 30-yard line and a moment later Greene, Thillips end, kicked a field goal from the 40-yard line. This end-i ed the first half. Apparently refreshed by their rest and goaded by the stinging lecture from their coach between halves, the Haymakers opened up with a dash and tryin? pass after pass they worked their way to Texas' 15-yard line.

The game then resolved itself into an exchange of punts and many attempts at forward passes by Phillips, most of the play being about midfield. Phillips then tried for a field goal from midfieM. T. C. 21; DALLAS, 6.

NEW YORK. Oct. 7. A match will be played on the Garden City links Sunday, which may serve to answer a question which has caused argument and discussion in golf circles for years. The question is how much better is a good man golfer th.n a good woman golfer 7 Nine of the best women golfers will play against nine fine men opponents to decide that question.

Bob Meusel began the Yankees' seventh turn at bat with roller that Groh had trouble in handling. On the way to first Meusel slowed down, seemingly with the thought that it was no use to run. Otherwise he could have got there safely, for Groh's throw was bad and Kelly dropped it and had to step off the bag to pick it out of the mud. As It was, the play was very close.

It was only a few seconds later that Ward bombarded the bleachers with his home run, making a goat of Meusel. Then came the last chance in the ninth and the reckless disregard of it by Huggins' men. Pipp slammed the first pitched ball down the left field line for two bases. He was trapped off second on Meusel's poke to Groh. Yankee hopes began to expire, but they flared up imme against Jess Guilford, former holder also hit a light infield bounder that of the men's title.

There was only one out and Meusel had gone to third, so that was expected that Schang would be satisfied with one base on his hit. But he wasn't. He tried to reach second and failed.

Ward ended the game with a fly to Meusel. Had Schang been willing to leave well enough alone when he reached first Bob Meusel could probably have scored after his brother caught Ward's fly. Even leaving the Yanks' base running out of it, the game would rank as one of the sloppiest in the history of the world's series. The rain was never weary. It began in the morning We as a gentle mist.

Little drops began to fall during batting practice. They wero coming down steadily as the first inning began, and the fans in the bleachers covered themselves with umbrellas and newspapers. Not even the I most profound editorial page was looked sure to he a putout, but the ball glanced off the pitcher's glove for another scratch hit. Frisch then sacrificed Bancroft to third and Groh to second. Irish Meusel, the next batter, slapped the ball toward second.

An ordinary bounce would have permitted a try for a putout at the plate, but the ball Jumped high Into the air and by the time it came down into Ward's glove it was too late to do anything but snuff out the batter at first base, Bancroft already having reached home. Next came a clean single to left from the bat of Pep Young, scoring Groh. The rsUv ended when Young was ninrted off first. The Giants got only two hits after that and never threatened to score again. Right after the Giants made their cluster of scores, the Yanks slapped the ball upon the Infield turf, but as luck would have it, all these blows bounced In the orthodox way and the batters were thrown out The Yanks were always making opportunities for themselves, only to turn them down in some careless manner.

They might have scored three runs In the first inning instead of two with a little more audacity in going around the diamond. They started off as though they had found their long lost hitting punch. Witt hit a sitigle straight through the diamond Into center field and Dugan quickly followed with a single to left. Babe Ruth took a mighty swat at the hall and drove one of the longest flies that ever dropped into an outfielder's glove. Cunningham caught It in deep center field.

Just a step or two from the bleacher fence, and the force of the ball's descent knocked him against the boards. He was so far away from the plate that there seemed to be plenty of time for Witt to come home from second. But Manager Huggins, who was watching at third, stopped him there. He scored later on Pipp's sin trie. Pipp tried to run too far rather than not far enough, and was caught at second.

Meusel sent Dugan home with 1 otlies of Haven't Time To Talk World Series Character heavy enough to keep the rooters dry after the fourth inning. From then on the rain fell with increasing wetness, so that the bleachers seemed a blur to those in the grandstand. Detailed analysis of the pitching shows that McQuillan and Mays worked on practically even terms. Each had ona bad inning McQuillan in the first when the Yankees, bunched four of their eight hits for two runs, and Mays in the tifth, when the Giants registered five of their nine hits and four runs. McQuillan held the Yankees hitless from the first to the seventh, while Mays allowed no more than one hit in any inning outside the fifth.
