T. B. OAKLAND took another drubbing yesterday at Enu.yville, the third of the" current series, By ALEC X. McCAUSLAND. REFEREE TOBY IRWIN drew the fine line of distinction at Dreamland Rink last night when he decreed that Frankie Klick ol San Bruno was entitled to an even break with Santiago Zorilla, the San Bias Indian simply by not taking advantage of several "breaks" that presented themselves, so it was little wonder Oscar Vitt's Stars triumphed by By ABE KEMP.

SPEED in the action of the play is all that lifted yesterday's game, which was won hy the Seals, 5 to 2, out of the rut of mediocrity. The cheerless and tearless contest, which it proved to be, was decided in one hour and 30 minute; a aound argument for tha umpires as proof of their efficiency, but that is about all it proved and just about all the excitement that it engendered. It was a warm, calm day with a cool, dispassionate audience In attendance that was more in consonance with the weather than the game. The only high light or high voice of the drab proceedings, aside from from Panama. The decision, r.

a well received by the house and that probably after all matters most. Zorilla, according to the tabulation of rounds had a sufficient edge at the conclusion of the encounter to have warranted him receiving the verdict, according to the manner in which we the count of 6 to 5. It was a loosely played and listless game of ball. Lyn Lary made a couple of costly omissions and in each Instance the Stars scored runs. Lary let two balls get away from him that went for hits, grounders that he generally taKes in easily.

Frank Shellenbach oppoted Wilbur Cooper and had all the best of the pitching honors in ths first stven innings. Cooper was being touched up rather freely, but managed to go ths distance while Shellenbach was replaced by Mulcahy in ths eighth inning to halt an Oakland rally. SCORE IN FIRST. Three safeties scored a run for the Acorns in the first. Governor singled infield, advanced to second on Reese's sacrifice and was out at the rlate trying to count on Larys ground single to center.

Bratcher, however, tripled to center, scoring Lary. Klick TF those who are following: Leo P. Flynn's interesting account of "How Dempsey Came Back" are waveringly inclined toward the former champion, and want to believe that he has better than an even chance to regain fhe crown from Tunney, it will not be difficult after reading "Pizen's" story. The grizzled veteran of the boxing game writes convincingly when he endeavors to show that it was an entirely different Dempsey that licked Sharkey than the Dempsey of the Philadelphia Tunney battle mentally and physically. As an aftermath of the Philadelphia fight it became known that Jack weighed only 187 pounds when he entered the ring agains Tunney.

For the Sharkey go his weight was 194, a gain of seven pounds. Now Flynn declares that Dempsey will freight close to 300 pounds when he faees Tunney next month. A net gain of 13 pounds in a year certainly would indicate that something was wrong with Jack before his Philadelphia set-to. That he was worried about financial matters and the annoyances spread about him by Jack Kearns, there is no doubt. He says himself he could not get going right and that for the first time in his career he had to stop to think what to do in a crisis.

That was when he had Tunney backed against the ropes in the fourth round. The question is, therefore, how much better wijl Dempsey be in "gluing trim at 200 pounds than he was at 187? MINNEAPOLIS Aug. 26. (A.P.) Bobby Jones and Chick Evans, two old men in golf although Bobby is much the younger in years will battle tomorrow for national amateur golf championship. On will win th title for in third time, for both have held it twice.

Playing In th approved Jonas fashion, Bobby turned baek Francis Ouimat, 11 up and 10 to go, shooting th 26 holes ncssary to insur his victory in 100 strok, two un-der par. The. Atlantan finished th 1 holes of the moroinur round with a brilliant 09, his third round of the championship under 70. He needed only one stroke over par, but one under four In th stretch ot eight holes In the afternoon. ANOTHER STORY.

Chick Evans had a different story to tell of his entrance Into th finals. Th 38-year-old Chicago player ran into a larje golf mouthful in Roland MacKenzie, of Waahlnjrton, who has Just passed his majority. Chick had to sink a 20-foot putt at th 37th hoi to win after he had kept himself In th competition by dropping a difficult six-footer at th 36th, wher his driv landed in rough and his approach struck a tre and fall below th green. Jones' all around performance during a day In which ho waa four under fours In his match and Chick's sensational work at the close restored th prestige of th championship which was being discounted as Bobby Jones ended bis second 36-hole match In two days at the three-quarter mark. NEW CALCULATIONS.

The Indian carried five rounds, the first, third, fourth, sixth and tenth. The seventh, eighth and ninth belonged to Klick, with the second and fifth about even. ZORILLA TIRES.

Zorilla tired rapidly In ths closing rounds of the battle, but rallied considerably In the final session. For the most part he relied on his abundance of speed and a beautiful left hand to pile up points in the early part of the fracas. He made Frankie look foolish with his rakish left that found Klick's mouth and jaw an easy target. Kllok accomplished a great deal of holding on with one hand and punineling Zorllla's kidneys with the other. In this manner he wore The Bodi day program at Recreation Park this afternoon will start at 1:30.

As a rtsult of its response to Its mister's touch today, th Evana putter, a weird affair calls "sour dough," took its place with "Calamity Jan," Bobby Jon' famous putter, as on of th most imoort- Incidentally, Flynn comes through with the same argument about Tunney's idleness that was used so extensively in discussing Dempsey before his fight with Gene. "Pizen" points out that Tunney hasn't had any kind of a scrap since he went ten rounds with Dempsey, while Jack has one fidence in himself. He always will have. He believes he can hit any pitcher.

Kerr's sacrifice fly to Bratcher brought home Frederick. Read's walk, Cooper's bingle to center and Governor's long sacrifice fly which Twombly misjudged and then caught after a spectacular run evened the count In the fifth.

IN FRONT AGAIN. The Stars got in front again In the sixth never to be headed. Heath singled to center. Kerr followed suit and on a double steal, Heath dented the rubber. The Oaks filled the bases in the sixth but couldn't score.

Two runs were chalked up by the Stars in ths seventh. Gooch singled to canter. Lee was safe on a fielder's choice and Gooch reached second on Reese's wild throw to Lary. Gooch went to third and Lee to second when Metz picked up the ball and threw wild to second. Twombly walked, filling the bags.

Sheehan's hit to center tallied Gooch and Lee, Hollywood scored their final and deciding run in the eighth. Kerr beat out a bunt in front of the plate. Murphy singled past Lary. Kerr counted on Shellenbach's sacrifice fly ot Bratcher. THREE-RUN RALLY.

Oakland staged a three-run rally In the eighth. Bratcher clouted ant implements of th gam which snt severs I thousand rd-facd and panting citizens of th twin cities and way station horn tonight to flossy flinging by Oliver Mitchell, pierced the still air in the fourth inning when Casey declared Knight out on strikes. The Seattle pitcher stood at the plate long after the third strike had been called, long enough, in fact, to indite a telegram to Judge Landis advising him to investigate Casey's dishonest eyes; too long for the mild language that he employed. UNORTHODOX FORM. When a pitcher is as mad as Knight purported to be, he should for the future salvation of baseball language be able to use something stronger than one-half of one per cent of blasphemy.

When a pitcher can remonstrate with Casey for five minutes and still remain in the game, it is proof positive that he is dotting all his i's and crossing all his t's, and such linguistic proceedings are at variance with the prescribed form of telling an umpire what you think, not what second thought and discretion dictate. Knleht eventually did tender an invitation to the umpire to visit a nice underground summer resort where umpires are treated with respect and not with pop bottles, which made Casey expand in anticipation, for like all self-respecting umpires, that very summer and winter resort is his Utopian dream of an umpire's hereafter. In the matter of those priceless trinkets known as base hits, there was little to choose between what Mitchell offered and what Knight dispensed, save that the Seals were more fortunate in getting theirs in bunches, particularly in the fifth, which inning decided the contest. BOTH SCORE IN FIRST. The score was tied at 1 to 1 until the fifth, both teams putting over a run in the first, when the Seals proceeded frappe the game.

the power of her strokes no longer (Continued on Page 2, Col. 2) who flippantly admits to 39 summers, most of them spent on the greenswards of various leagues, will have Recreation Park to himself today in a well deserved tribute. The occasion will be Bodie day. Seventeen years ago, the same ball park, a little more battered and weather beaten, but still the same ball park, echoed with shouts of triumph as the original Fence Buster shattered the then existing home run record. Many base hits, much alcohol and much water have run under the bridge since those cataclysmic days of 1910; names that were something to conjure with and to roll on the tips of your tongue in those days have passed on to other less exacting pursuits, but the redoubtable old warrior is still with us a little heavier in the legs, a little stockier around the midriff, a little fleshier in the jowls, but with the same unquenchable enthusiasm, the same spirit, the same hyperboli desire to win that were his heritages seventeen long years ago when the pride ot Cow Hollow ambled down the street in the van of a small army of admiring kids.

You wouldn't think that the disquieting shades ot 40 years were beckoning to "Ping" to see him romp around the field these days; to see him playing a more arduous and more exacting position than he played seventeen years ago when the spring of youth was in his legs. But at fifty, yea sixty, when the white down re- growth, he'll still be able to do the thing that he loves best of all, that he has talked about, bragged about, cursed about for seventeen years; the thing that in his own picturesque and inimitable language he describes as CRASHING THE OL' APPLE! Baseball is an institution of characters, but like the wild, exotic poppies that bloom on the most sterile soil, there have been few to intrigue your interest and excite your imagination like Bodie does and like he has from the very first day he joined the Seals in 1909 and elbowed every veteran of the club out of the shower baths, an act of les majeste, if you knew your baseball in those days. There have been numbers of better hitters in baseball than Bodie, but none with more supreme confidence in his ability to hit. Bodie actually thowght, actually felt, that he could hit the best pitcher that ever lived, and he still does as he brushes aside his 39 years and grips his old Hillerich, makes wry faces at the pitcher and silently demands of hint that he put everything that he has on the "old apple'' and just as silently issues the curt injunction: "Duck!" A fellow who still thinks he can hit at 39 years, and can, deserves a day and Bodie will get his this afternoon when money, gifts and the appreciation of a capacity crowd will be showered upon him as he crashes "The ol' apple!"
