THE EAGLE'S SPORTING SECTION CLASSIFIED ADV. BASEBALL AND RACING GOLF AND YACHTING TENNIS, ATHLETICS NEW YORK CITY, SUNDAY. AUGUST 1, 1920. Cg?" FIVE CENTS PENNANT RACE TIGHTER GIANTS AND YANKEES LOSE RUTH'S 37TH Beat Barnes in Title Play-Off No Irish Dream This, But TheRea I Th ing, Says Sir Tom HAGEN WINS GOLF TITLE FOR 3D TIME BY BEATING BARNES and wus only beaten out in a driving T-TJT'NtM SUPERBAS HOLD ONTO FIRST PLACE BERTH By THOMAS S. RICE.

BY taking yesterday the first game of the series of four in four days from the St. Louis Cardinals at Efrbets Field by 9, to before 10,000 or so fans, the Brooklyn Superbas retained their hold on first place by so slight a margin that Official Scorer and Profound Statistician Abe Yager ran the figures into eight places without getting definite results. The trouble was that the cussed Cincinnati Reds were simultaneously putting the bee on the New York Giants by to 2, Brooklyn has played a total of 98 games and the Reds a total of 91. By the law of average, which the Bolshevlkl tried to abolish In Russia along with such oppressive laws as those requiring drivers to follow the rule of the road, and citizens to keep garbage off the street, Cincinnati having played less games, gained a trifle more in percentage than did Brooklyn by winning one game. Under the blessings of Bolshevism, and with the abolishment of the iniquitous law of averages, which the capitalists use in estimating the Interest they exact from the earnings of the horny-handed sons of toil, the Superbas would have full half a game lead on the Reds.

Under the capitalistic system they are so close to falling out of first place that one error today when they tackle the Cardinals again will land them In second, with the Giants close astern. BY W. V. VHKK.I.A.M). L'KRA! UTRH! But It wna th iund day for the Irish at the Knipire City track yesterday, so it was.

Didn't Irish Dreum win the Mount Vernon Handicap? Sure he did. And wuan't thut gay buckoo of a sportsman Sir Thomas Llpton. there to see him win'. he wus. And didn't tlie bund pluy "The Wearing of the Green" while mine host James Butler escorted Sir Thomas to the stewards' stand.

Sure it did. And didn't the 25.000 loyal American citizens thut were at the track prove that they recognize. In Kir Thomas a fine type of a sportsman, when they cheered him, not once or twice, but many times? Sure they did. And didn't Mr. Butler smile on everybody and say: "Everybody's pleased, so I'm pleased And echo replied to Mr.

Butler: "Everybody's pleased" that the meeting was over. It was the last day of the summer racing meeting at the hill top track. I For sixteen days munv of the thor- oughbreds racing at Mr. Butler's track have changed their "form" as frequently as a chameleon changes its colors. Thu old saying "the first shall be last and the last shall be first" was exemplified on many a day.

Discriminating students of form were bunged and buffeted ubout until tin were unable to tell whether they were going or coming. A few big operators made money by putting over several "good things." The rank and file of racegoerH, the luyers and the regular players, departed from the track shorn of much of their wealth. The In-and-out running failed to disturb the peace and quiet of the stewards and at the wind- up they gave their official O. K. to the meeting.

And so ended one of the most memorable sixteen days of racing that has pussed into turf history since the night rucing at Muspeth and the merry-go-round at Iron Hill. Not Like Muii o' War. It was the lust day ot racing in the vicinity of New Vork for a month and loyal racegoers compelled because of business to remain In the city took advantage of the opportunity to enjoy rorite sport. The program good one, with the Mt. nun iiuiu dlcap at a mile the feat- ure.

Another Inducement was tne nrsi public appearance of Playfellow, the full brother of Man o' War, which was curded to start in the last race. The Mt. Vernon Handicap promised to be a good race, and such It proved to be from a spectacular standpoint. Play ager, and he left that night on a two weeks vacation to recuperate. He tried to take Jacobsen's left ear as a keepsake on the vacation, but the other athletes held amonla under Jake's nose and made him let go his hold.

Johnson singled to Stock off E. Jacobs yesterday In the first Inning, with one oit. He took second when Griffith singled through Jacobs. Wheat drove to Jacques Fournler, who tossed the bull over the head of Jacobs as that pitcher covered first base. The error let in Johnston with an unearned run.

Myers bounced into the onlv double play of tbe day. Johnston beat out a hit to Lavah in the third and took second on Griffith's single to left.

Playfellow is a dark bay. Last winter I commented i vii a a laU uiiw 11111 UlillllU liVUli Reds Find Rube Easy Picking and Halt McCraw's Winning Str44et)score, 6 to 2. Rubfi' vcnton proved easy for the World's Champion Cincinnati Reds at the Polo Grounds yesterday, and the Giants went down to a 6 2 defeat. Thirty thousand fans, inspired by the way the McGraw clan had battered the Cardinals, were on hand to witness the humbling of the until yesterday, climbing Giants. The New Yorkers could, do little with the curves of Jimmy Ring when hits meant runs.

James smothered every incipient rally, he having speed to burn in, the pinches. Benton was allowed to stay in the box for seven innings, though the Reds proved right in the first frame that they had the Rube's number. All of the Cincinnati runs were made off the wrong handed hurling of Benton, his southpaw slants evidently being very easy to solve. Jess Winters finished the game for the Giants. The Reds got off to a three-run lead in 'the first frame on singles by Rath and Daubert, a three-base blow on the part of Roush, and Duncan's sacrifice fly.

They got another in the third when Jake Daubert poked a drive to right that went to the fence, when Young stumbled and fell trying to make a play on the bull. The other two scores for the champions came In the sixth on hits by Daubert and Roush, Benton's error on Duncan's attempted sacrifice and Neale's singles. The Giants' portion of runs, two, came in the fifth. Smith tripled and scored on Benton's out at first and. successive singles by Burns; Bancroft and Young put the first Georgle over the platter.

With every evidence of having got the Indian sign on Jim Barnes, Walter Hagen, the United States, French and Metropolitan open golf champion, yesterday forenoon, at Greenwich, defeated the Western open and professional champion of America by, 4 strokes, or- 70 to 74, in the play-off of the tie In the Metropolitan open championship, in which he and' Barnes led the field with a total of 292 strokes at the end of Friday's play.

This makes the third time Hagen has won the title. His victories have been In succession, the previous years having been 1916 and 1819, there having been no play in 1917 and 1918 on account of the war. Only one other golfer, Alex. Smith, has ever won the title three times. Smith has annexed it four Hagen played nearly a faultless game yesterday against Barnes, one of his.

errors coming near the end, spoiled his chance of breaking 70. Going to the 17th, Walter needed only two fours for a 69, but he hooked his drive to a trap and this cost him a stroke, but as 71 was beaten only twice during the championship by the large and classy field, Hagen's card was good enough for a hot July day. Hagen Always Wins Play-Offs. Hagen has never lost a play-off in his golf career. Once before he beat Barnes In a play-off.

That was in the 1 Metropolitan championship at the Garden City Golf Club in 1916. Then Barnes lost by a single stroke. Charlie Hoffner of Philadelphia was in that play-off and finished in last place. Again in their match for $1,500 at New Orleans at hole play last spring, the match was all even at the end of the 36 holes, but on the first extra hole Hagen won. Only the other day in France Hagen won the play-off for the French open title by defeating Eugene Lafitte.

Thirty-six holes were played in deciding that tie. If Barnes had not postponed getting into his strike till the Journey began yesterday he might have a closer fight of it, but his break on1 the cloning holes of the first nine put it almost, beyond his power to catch Hagen. for after being 4 down a.t the turn, Barnes holed a 10-foot on the 10th for a winning 2, and his admirers took hope, but Hagen broke their hearts by dropping a putt around 25 feet on the two-shot 11th for a. bird 3 and followed It up on the one-shot 2th by sinking a 12-footer for a 2. Hard to Stngo Comeback.

Against that sort of game it seemed mpossible to stage a comeback and Ithough Barnes came home In 34, Hagen's figure, after a dismal 40 out, was too late to make any. worthwhile dent in Hagen's big lead, which -cached 6 strokes up on after the leuce on the 12th. After losing a stroke on the short econd by failing to get the green rrom the tee, and taking a vened the match on the long 4th, where he got down a 10 foot putt, lere Hagen hooked his brassie to ough but recovered well to the green. Barnes's drive on the 5th was looked to rough but ho was out to he green, yet he lost a stroke to He.gen by taking three putts, the hampion failing to get the green by Continued on Pa ire 3. Who's Ahead? Had the National League season ended yesterday, It would have required a star chamber session of the N'ational Commission, a dozen Philadelphia 1 8 mathematicians, loymeft und eventually commission on lunacy to decide whether the Brooklyn Superbas or Cincinnati Reds were entitled to compete in the Wprld's Scries.

Figuring on the" games won and lost, the Superbas ftre half -a game ahead. To explain: Brooklyn has won 56 games and lost 42; Cincinnati has won 52 and lost 39. Therefore Brooklyn lias won 1 more games than Cincinnati and lost 3 more. Subtracting the 3 fewer games 'ost by the Heds from the 4 more games won by the Superbas leaves a margin oM, which, divided by 2, according to the laws of average and baseball arithmetic, leaves Brooklyn half a game ahead. Plain as day, isn't it? "Yes; it isn't! The laws of percentages say different.

Brooklyn having played 98 games and won 56 you can go as far us you like and get the same result as dividing the 52 games won by Cincinnati by the 01 games they have played. We huve gone to 10 decimulsind get the snnie result; ergo and to wit: .5714285714. Fans who prefer to take a chance of having the' aforementioned lunacy commission culled In can go further. Here are the figures: BROOKLYN CINCINNATI 98)56000(5714285714 91)52000(5714285714 490 455 700. 686 140 98 420 392 280 840 784 560 490 700 686 140 98 420 392 28 650 637 130 91 390 364 260 182 780 728 520 455 650 637 130 91 390 364 26 Just take a slant at the first four figures of the quotient and the last four figures of the same and even a primary school scholar will realize thut one could continue to divide until the end of time and still keep on go- "Wi ahcad Pfeffer, Ofltclul Winner.

The yellow-streaked writer of anon ymous letters to the newspapers and to the Brooklyn club, insinuating that favoritism was responsible for Sherrod Smith being declared the official ner of the game in which he relieved Pfeffer against Pittsburg last Monday, after the Pirates had hammered home four runs in the fourth and opened the fifth with a double, need have no cause to whine about yesterday's winner. It was Pfeffer, but Smith again had to go to the rescue. When Smith relieved Pfeffer on Monday, after the double by Carey to open the fifth, the score was 5 to 4 in favor of Brooklyn. For purpoHes of deciding a winning pitcher, Pres. Heydler of the National League has decided that five Innings means half." Pfeffer on that occusion had in nitliAl a 'linlf11 ntiH li.

won. I not pitched a half, and he was pitching losing ball, hence the award to Smith, who did not let Carey score, and who stopped the Pirates in their tracks. Pfeffer allowed one earned run to be batted clearly yesterduy in third inning. When the Cardinals' half of the-sixth rolled around, the score was to 1 in favor of Broklyn, with one of Brooklyn's five due to an error. Singles by Stock and Hornsby, and McHenry's untarnished home run over Hi Myers' head to the flagpole in the sixth, made the score 5 to 4.

Brooklyn scored two in the seventh oft Alorvan Goodwin on Stock's gross error, but batted in two earned runs off Lou North, the rookie right-hander from Milwaukee, in the eighth. Smith went to the box after Pfeffer's bollapse, which colli pur included a base on ballH In the sixth after McHenry's home run. Smith allowed one earned run off his delivery in the eighth. As Pfeffer had pitched six innings before he was, to all intents, knocked out of the box, he will be the official winner, and that mukes five straight Wins for him, despite the fact that he Jnished none of his last three starts. Many Stout Blown Many stout.

blows were struck In iat affair yesterday. The Superbas garnered 18 hits from the deliveries cf four St. Louis pitchers, and among ti smashes were triples, by KildulT and Myers and a double by Zack Wheat. The Cardinals collected 8 hits and 4 runs from Pfeffer in six innings, and 2 doubles from Smith in three innings. Off Pfeffer were registered a home run by McHenry and doubles by McHenry and Mack Smith.

It was odd that both the hits off Smith were two-buggers one by Hornsby in the eighth und one by Harold Janvrln in the ninth. Janvrln batted for Jack Smith In the seventh and played left-field, McHenry moving over to Jack Smith's place in center. Peter Kilduff had a perfect day fbr his average. He was technically at bat twice, and on those occasions he walloped a triple and a single. But Peter went to the plate on three other occasions, walking twice and sacrificing once.

Rogers Hornsby, the Cardinals' eminent second baseman, and much desired by the New. York Giants, was the big noise on boisterous day. Rogers went to the plate four times. His first three times up were against Pfeffer and. he clouted three singles and drove in two runs.

In the eighth inning he had his chance at Smith, knocked a double through Kilduff und was driven home with the Cardinals' last lun. Four hits In four times up was Hornnby's total. One of the humors of the afternoon was the double crossing of Uncle Hubert Robinson. Tommy Griffith sturted in right Held, he being Icft-handtil batter and Elmer Jacobs a right-handed batter. Tommy faced Jacobs twice and made two hits.

Jacobs retired after three rounds and the sawed-off Jake May, a southpaw, went to the Uncle Wilbort promptly derricked Tommy and sent Heinle Neis, who has been flourishing as a right-handed hitter, against southpaws, to play right. And Bernie mude a slrigfe off May In the one time he faced that person. But at the end of the fifth inning May was derricked and two right-handers, Marvin Goodwin and Lou North, finished for the Cardinals. Each of them set down B. Nais with much euse.

Bernie batted left handed against them. Goodwin threw him out on a gentle drive to the box, and North whiffed him, giving Bernie the unenviable distinction of being the only Superba who struck out. Verily the pastime is full of surprises and upsets. Jacobs Font's Home Two Huns. Elmer Jacobs, right hander, formerly with the Pirates, and last year traded to the Cardinals by the Phllles in the deal that sent Lee Meadows to the Phillies, was Manager Branch Rickey's first selection yesterday.

Elmer had a strange career in the third inning, when he walked one batter because he wanted to, and then walked two more because ho couldn't help it, forcing home two runs. Years ago we saw a pitched named Jncobson, formerly with the St. Louis Browns, then with Washington, wulk Napoleon Lajoie and another batter on purpose In a game in Cleveland. Having got the habit, Jacobscn couldn't stop. He walked the third man, and forced in th winning run.

Losing pitcher, Collins. Vmplres Hlldebrand and Eyans. Time 1:45. Fans Beg Scorersto Morton No-Hit Game Cleveland, July 31 Cleveland made It four straight from Boston, today, winning 2 to 1. Guy Morton of Cleveland all but pitched a no-hit game, the only hit off his delivery being a hard grounder that Mclnniu bounced off Third Baseman Gardner In the second inning.

Thousands of fans stood below the press box after the game and begged the scorers to change their decision and give Gardner an error and Morton a no-hit game. Cleveland bunched five hits In the second Inning for two runs, and did not make another hit off during the last five innings. Boston's only run was scored on a pass and steal by VI tt, Foster's out and a wild pitch. Score: Boston. Cleveland.

1 Shorten, Pinch Hitting, Triples and Tigers Win Detroit. 31 Shorten's triple in tho eighth filing, pinch hitting for 7 Griffith, Johnston taking third. Then came the passing. Myers was Dur- i posely passed to fill the bases, and th Cnrdinals laid back for a double play. Konetchy was unintentionally passed, forcing home Johnston, and Kilduff was unintentionally passed, forcing home Wheat.

Elliott's sacrifice fly to Jack Smith scored Myers. Kilduff took second on a short wild pitch, but was left when Pfeffer grounded out to Kournier. Three earned runs, or, as they should be called, "pitcher's runs. Goodwin's Hand Hurt, Three rounds, of Jucobs were nil Manager Rickey could stand. Jake May allowed a pass to Olson and a single by Nels in the fifth and pass to Kilduff In the fifth, without damage.

Joe Schultz batted for him in the sixth and was thrown out by Kilduff. Marvin Goodwin, one of the Cardinals' first string men, was hurled Into the breach lor the sixth, when the score was 5 to 4 agolnst the Cards. Konetchy thumped Goodwin for a single to left in the seventh and took third on Janvrin's fumble. Thut was quick work for Janvrln. He had batted for Jack Smith in the sixth, and gone to left Held.

He erred on the very first hatter. Kilduff sacrificed Koncy to third. Elliott bounced slowly to Johnny La van, whose throw to Lew McCarty caused Koncy to be exterminated between third and home, McCarty was recently waived to the Cardinals by the Giants, and was starting his first game behind the bat yesterday. Elliott took second while Koncy was being exterminated. Sherrod Smith bounced a single off the right, or pitching, hand of Marvin Goodwin and put that athlete out of the game with a split finger.

Lou North reigned in his steud. Sherrod's brutal single sent Elliott to third. Smith started a steal of second and McCarty went through a perfect bluff to throw to second. It fooled Elliott, who was hung up off third, and mitrht hav been run down, but after Stock took McCarty's throw, he shot the ball over McCarty's head in making the return. The ball skipped into the Brooklyn dugout.

Elliott scored, and Smith, being given two extra buses under the rule covering throws into the dugout, also went home. Olson walked und was forced by Johnston. Two unearned runs. Neis funned In the but Wheat doubled to center and scored on Myers's triple to left. Koney walked.

Kilduff's single to left off North scored Myers. Elliott forced Kilduff and was safe at second on Fournier's muff of Hornsby's throw for a double play, which cost Fournler a second error. On a fake, or attempted, double steul, Elliott was caught going to second. Two earned runs. The Box Score.
