His batting feats in the Western association have been the topic of many a baseball yarn, but perhapa the best one is related by Manager) Gabby Street of the St Louis Cardinals. To this day. Gabby never gets in a fanning bee about bis days in the Western association without re calling a homer by Chili In 1923 while playing with Enid. Gabby was driving down the wire in the last series of the season and need ed a victory over Enid to nose him out ahead of the Ardmore club. He apparently had it in the bag, going into the last of the ninth with a 4-1 lead.

But bis pitcher went haywire1 and bad the bases filled with two out before he could get a change. Up came McDaniel, who led the league in homers that year with 36.: There followed a crash and the ball whistled over the right field fence, carrying with It an Enid victory. It broke the morale of Gabby's club and Ardmore won the pennant I A modern record in baseball was established by the New York Yankees Monday when they completed their 129th game of the season without once being shut out The previous record was set by the great Yankee team of 1927, which went through 12S games before the whitewash was applied. That New York team and the 1901 Pittsburgh club held the modern record for the least number of shutouts in i complete season, with one each. -Back in 1894 the Boston and Phil adelhpial teams of the National league finished the season without being blanked.

The schedule then called for 132 games. The present schedule is 154 games. TRAIL Wanders Hit Pi 1 1MB In Spots, bat Only Tflne Batsmen Face Him In Last Thro Frames. Those pesky Plow are beginning te act like Davenport. That's a harfh thiiif to aay, but the manner In which they aet down the Island-ers for the second straight time last Light at, Browning field, 9 to 4, made more like a typical beating at the hands of Davenport, rather than It aeemed that way, anyhow, because everything the Pl's did was Just right and everything the Islanders did waa Just wrong.

The Islanders presented a crip pled battlefront at Moline, a devel opmeht which may nave been a factor 'In the defeat. Manager Riley Parker was on the bench with an Injured arm and Tony Yuncer was still out of the lineup with blood poisoning. Hal Schmidt, suffering from a shoulder Injury for the- last 10 days, remained in the lineup, but the handicap inter fered with his work around second base. Eddie Hunter, who bad been, under suspension since the change la managers on the Rock Island. club, returned to his old position in The infleld and accepted two chances.

Eddie, whose hitting had picked np considerably before be was sent to the limbo of active ball play ers, hsd tour chances at the plate and sensational fielding beat him out of a safety In the fifth inning Pitchers. 5o Puzsle. Neither Lefty John Schneider, who started the game for Rock Island, nor George Mills, who was sent to nis reuei in we second inning when the Plows reared up could-throw anything to fool the loped for three hits and five scores In the midst of a Moline batting cpree in the second, but Mills had no better luck. He was clouted tor two additional singles and a triple by Wilbanks before he could re lire me siae wun nve scores. The Plows assembled a dozen -hits, getting nine off Mills.

Claude Passtau, who has been a Jinx to the Islanders since coming to these parts from the Three-1 league, was "iiit hard in spots, although only nine batsmen faced him la the last three innings and four of them Went down on strikeouts. Paeseau whiffed seven in all during the 'night and Mills went him one bet ter in this department The Plows gave Passeau a 7- score lesd in the first two innings The Islanders showed signs of creeping up In the third and fifth but after those minor threats Pas seau was never in danger. A walk, sacrifice and Francis Parker's double, followed by an In field out which permitted Parker to advance and an error by Schmidt on Wilbanks' gave the Plows two scores In the first In JllVg. JUS illH IHU UttLiUlCU the Islanders had aihgled to start the frame, but a double play rr-u v- squelched their ambitions. Mills Fails as Rescuer.

Moline started the second a double and a single, with and Schneider added to his troubles by issuing two walks. Mills was hur Tied into the box. but he was greet ed by a couple more singles and a triple by Wilbanks with two on base, before be could retire the aide. All of this clouting netted the Plows lvre scores. Tommy Leonard's home run with Schmidt, who bad walked, on base, gave the Islanders their first two scores in the third.

Leonard bit what would ordinarily have been single Into left field, but Shelly tried to make a shoestring catch and the ball rolled back far enough to allow the Rock Island' outfielder to circle the sacks Lorbeer's single and a double by Walters provided Moline with an other score In the third, and the hitnders clustered three, hits In the fifth for their final two scores of tlvo came.

Two Continents Represented in Golf Exhibition stars of two will perform Sunday afternoon at the Davenport Country club, where Horton Smith, American luminary who was born at St Joseph, and Jose Jurado, champion of South America, will play an 18-hole exhibition match against Dr. Paul Barton and Art Andrews of tho Davenport club. Although golf gripped South America slowly, the grip is firm, and golf courses have sprung up throughout the continent. Among those who have developed with the growth of the game is Jurado of the Argentine. Jurado, whose looks win the hearts of the feminine 'golf tans, has proven capable of stand Ing up against the best players of the north continent.

His appearance In America, and in Davenport, marks the firt representative of hU country to rise high enough in golf ranks to appear in. national exhibition tours. Horton Smith's rise in the links sport is known to all followers of the game. The bad break of- hia career came at the height of his game. His wrist was broken in an automobile accident The situation of a golfer with a broken wrist is like a 100-yard dash man with a broken leg.

Smith, however, has gradually overcome the handicap of an injured wrist and is back jgain anions the leaders. Tickets for the Sunday exhibition were placed on sale today at the starter's office.

(By the Associated Press.) Lanterns and flashlights were added today to the rowboat cargoes of coaches who were to scull along with the com petitors in the Canadian national exhibition marathon swim. And all because of the eclipse of the sun.

Toronto scientists said the dark ness of the mid-afternoon eclipse would be no more intense than it is at dusk, but the coaches were tak ing no chances of losing their charges when the moon edges the- sun. The' eclipse may prove an even greater handicap to the swimmers Experts said it would cause a drop of four or five degrees in the tem perature of the waters of Lake On tario. A half dozen powerful swimmers stood out in the huge field which planned to start Leading, all the rest was George Young of Toronto, winner of the event last year. Young was aiming at "first prise money of $7,500, a neat sum with which to start housekeeping after his marriage to Margaret Ravior of Philadelphia, winner of the wo men's 10-mile swim last week. Other favorites Included Marvin Nelson of Fort Dodge, Iowa, and Ernest Vierfloetter of Germany, both former winners of this event: George Blagdon of Isa- dore, Spondor, Port Colbourne Ont; Bill Gdll, New York; Gianni Gambi, Italy, and the Pritchard brothers, Stanley and Frank, from Buffalo.

"I attended the last two bonte games of the team and on each occasion I noticed that the names of the visiting players were not priuted on the board, and the names of the Rock Island players were not in their correct batting order," he says. "Of course, some of us didn't know all the visiting players before the board was erected, but so long as the Rock Island club has one, why not make) use of it? Davenport and Moline certainly get a maximum amount of good out of their boards." Now that Davenport is in a position to win the Valley league pennant without much of a struggle. Rock Island fans have begun to wonder how the first half champions, the Islanders, are going to fare in the post-season series.

Right now the Islanders plainly lack the drive 'and punch that put the Blue Sox oa top and kept there. The approaching series between the two teams, which opens tomorrow night at Davenport, will present fans of both cities with additional data on which to base their estf mates for the championship games.
