Georgie, Koulledg and nmmesdale. Audacious and Thua- derclap were the top weight, with 11 pounds each, iorgie'a class wss considered so insignifb-ant that W. B. Yos-burgh. the official handicapper for tho Jockey Club, rated him at 11 pounds, or 22 pounds below the scale.

And rvt thta horse, rated by the handicapper as 21 pounds inferior to Audacious, waa mad the lo favorite over the Suburban winner. AH of the entrants except Audacious and Georgie were withdrawn. Heavy rain during Tuesday night thst lasted well into the morning hours made the Belmont Park heavy in the homestretch. Tho backstretch was comparatively dry. except a small ribbon along the rail.

It ia well worth while remembering this condition cf the track. In other years Audacious never was a mud horse. He has been I eaten frequently in heavy going. But at no time in those races did ver fail to put up a good contest. He waa beaten, but not as he was yesterday.

At one period of tha spring, when tho track was wet In spots Ilk II was yesterday. Audacious won. If. Audueiius had raced half up to his form Ihe open criticism that was hurled at him and hia trainer would not hav taken place aa It did after tho race. If he had raced well during tha first half-mile on the backstretch not a word would hare been uttered against him and hia trainer.

But he ran more like prise pig than a Suburban winner. Georgie, In front under a strong pull, led all the way. In the homestretch Penman, his rider, literally pulled him to a csnter. In spite of that kind of treatment Georgie won by 10 lengths. During the period when the horses were racing through the homestretch many of the spectators began to boo and to hiss.

One of the patrons in his excitement "Give another stick to Sevier!" This shaft of Irony wss aimed at McNaughton. If the stewards are satisfied that a race ot that description is beneficial and not inimical to the best interests of the turf, they are a large minority of the men who paid 13.85 to witness the sport at Belmont Park yesterday. Duncccap Wins the Mineola Stakes. That sterling little piece of horse flesh called Duncecap won the Mineola Stakes In a driving finish by a neck from Queseda. Duncecap Is not much to look at as racehorses go, but Ohio Girl Chess Prodigy Is Rival for Rzescheivski By HERMANN HELMS.

Is directly traceable to the adventures of little Celia Nei-niark. tin the occasion of a picnic on her father's farm, for tho benefit of the Youilgstown Relief Society, Cells waa invited to give an exhibition of her skill as a chess plnyer. sue played simultaneously against six opponents, making a score of live wins and one draw. The list of opponents is not available, but no matter who they were, the feat is well worth re cording for the benefit of future generations.

During August she appeared nt another picnic, this time under tho auspices of the Cleveland Relief Society, in Cleveland. Playing outdoors under tropical conditions. Celia made the rounds of ten boards for an hour and a half until her parents called a halt. Adjudication of the unfinished positions followed, with the result that Celia emerged with a score of 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. This is not quite up to the pace set by 9-year-old Rzeehewski; nevertheless Sammy would do well to look to his infantile laurels.

Appended is the score of the game Celia Neimarlc contested with Irving Spero and alluded to above: rr.Tr.OKP pekexse. Nimto Whito. r-Kt I Kt-KD3 II I'-ljt 4 P-Ki H-QIU Spero. NVIninrk. Hlack.

Ing celebrated her last birthday in July, am) yet. all hough initiated into the mysteries of chess only nine months ago, she plays a capital game of which many a club member would be proud. From a health point of view she enjoys the advantage of liv ing on a larm and she is as sturdy a specimen of a child as one would wish to see. Likewise, Ccliu is not without chess dvantages, for she has become quite a familiar figure in Youngstown and lias already earned the distinction of being elected to honorary membership In the Youngstown Chess Club. It is not recorded that Sammy Rzcschcwski was so hollared at that tender ago.

Irving Speio. the last to win the city championship of Cleveland, but now a resident of Youngstown. lias hud several opportunities of late to meet this newest chess prodigy an 1 reports that she is it genuine little artist who seems drsim not alone to make a mark on her own uccount, but to advance her sex much closer to a place in the front rank of chess- influence than woman has heretofore enjoyed. Before he was quite prepared to take Celia seriously, Spero played a hard-fought game with her and lost it. The opening was by no means a perfect specimen, but the conduct of the entire game by the 7-ycar-old was such as to arouse the admiration of any one who will take the trouble to run over the score which the Ohioan has sent to The Eagle.

Ibry the Pirate, stacked against the Cardinals on the cardinals' grounds for ti gAUira. The Krhedule could not have been Iftter drawn for thr Gintits than to have thing, breik Jurt the way the chedule-niakers huve arranged them. I'orgrt I'rmlH While Winnins. It la an open In baseball circle that the Ccrdlraln re with feuds, but they appear to have buried Ihe hatchet. Stock, the stir third haaeman, feels that ht light Ik hidden under Ihe Rocera lloinsby bushel, to speak.

That is to fay. Stork believes that If he were playing third on a team which did not have such an overshadowing slur as HornMjy he would receive more and more money. That stale of mind is easily understandable, and many experts believe that Ha be Ruth similarly affects sev-eral member of the New York Americans. The Cardinals are far from being a well balanced team, which makes Hornsby stand out all the more prominently. As they have long heen second divlsloners, it was in evitable that outside commentators, in the comparatively little space they devoted to the Cardinals, should write most of their comment unon the team around him.

Then again, Smith, who has a. habit of holding out in the spring. ia anoiner source or worry lo Man ager Uranch Rickey. Thev had a light on the hf-nrh in Thiladelnhia. and while the tight itself does not appear to have been serious.

It Indicated tne reeling that ex sted before and which presumably continues. Smith is a nard hlttmc outfielder, but he makes errors of Judgment that offset much of his usefulness. Efforts have been made to trade Smith, nnd he might have gone to the Phillies In a deal for Irish Meusel, when President Raker of the Phillies nut Mousrl on the market, but Rill Donovan blocked the deal. Xo leTea.c In Batting. No decrease in the Cardinals' batting is to be noted.

At last iircounta they had a tram average of .307, New York and Chicago earh had .201 and Pittsburg had .202. What has hither, to offset the terrific offensive of the Cardinals una thrir erratic defense, but when they played three games here on Aug. 18 and 19. losing two of the three, it was noticeable that their fielding was inueli more steady than it had been at any previous time this vear. Their losses were due to pitching and not to throwing the hall away or booting ahances at critical moments.

Most of the critics who attended that August series in Brooklyn were impressed by the brace in the Cardinal fielding, but the. brace had already begun when the Cardinals won three four from the Superbax in st. Louis in July. It has continued to the pres. cut time, and with Stork and Hornshv smothering tfirir irritation toward earh other in the glow of victory, as they appear to have done, the prospects are the Cardinals' defense will remain at a reasonablv high level for the rest of the campaign.

The schedule greatly favors the Cardinals, their batting is still phenomenal, their defense is stronger, and their nitching has certainlv improved. They have an outside chance yet to win the pennant. If the Cardinals do nol win the pennant, for themselves, those last five games of the season with the Pirates in St. Louis may win the pennant for New York. Giants and Yanks Advance, While the Pittsburg Pirates were idling yesterday because thev were not scheduled, the New.

York Giants went to Philadelphia and grabbed two games. Artie Nchf beat Jimmv Ring in the first by 7 to 2. Phil liouglas beat Wilbur Hubbell in the second by 13 to 4. Hubbell was knocked out by 13 hits in 4 2-3 innings and Sedgewick the young right-hander, finished allowing ix more hits. Today the Giants and' Tiratcs are both idle, with the Giants 8 points behind the Pirates.

Tomorrow the Giants must meet the Brooklyn Su-perbas at the Polo Grounds and the Pirates will meet the Chicago Cubs from whom the Pirates have won 16 of 20. The New York Yankees also took a step, or half a step, forward yesterdav. Carl Mays beat the Boston Red Sox in the first game by 6 to 2 and Harper beat the Red Sox in the second game by 7 to 2. The Cleveland Indians beat Detroit 5 to 4. Bagby was the official winner for Cleveland, but Rav Caldwell went to the rescue in the ninth inning, and, with the bases full, fanned Bassler, the catcher, and Cole, a pinch Caldwell had been un.

iler suspension by Cleveland Tor being' a bad boy, but the suspension was lined yesterday. Caldwell's return to duty in such capable manner, with Duster Mails southpawing a 2 to 1 victory against the Si. Louis Browns on Tuesday, indicates that, the Cleveland pitching stan is coming hack more or less and that the Yankees will have to keep on their toes to maintain their lead. hits in as many times at bat. Hell-mann and Rogers Hornsby of the st Louis Cardinals, who tops the batters in tne jatiouai League, are almost even in hitting honors.

The Detroit outneiaers naiting average is .40.1 while the St. Louis inficlder is one point anean. i Babe Ruth registered his fifty-sec ond homer and Boh Meusel his nine tecntn. urotner "Irish" Meusel of me oianis made four hits In the sec ond game, tiiree of them doubles.

"All this talk about having nothing lo lose and everything to guln in I lie tase of the Insignificant player and of the ateudying eitcct of that thought is pure nonsense, for when you have nothing to lose, there is also the knowledge that you are more or less of a duffer, and the tendency is lo play like a duffer "Then we American women also remember that Miss Leitch'a traveling companion. Miss Doha Chambers, who will compete at Hollywood, ia a golfer ot great quite able worthily lo uphold the British standard In the event of the defeat of Mis Leitch In in curlv round.

Then, again. Miss Leitch may draw down with her into our championship the cream of the Canadian feminine talent, such as 'Miss Kate Robertson, last year's run ner-up, and Miss Ada Mackenzie, the 19 ID Dominion champion. "If by some hook or crook some obscure Canadian golfer should defeat Miss Leitch or if Miss Stirling should eliminate her, the situation would at once be changed and we Americans would go into the competition at Hollywood with a stronger feeling of hopefulness. Hence we shall watclf Ihe progress of the Dominion championship with the keenest interest. This will be held at Rivcrmead.

The prospects are bright for an unusually large field at Hollywood on secount of the attraction of Miss Leitch as an entrant.

Never before has the women's national in this country had so distinguished a competitor, and the indications are that every sec tion of the country will have a larger representation than usual at the championship. The West promises to send a galaxy of its stars, including Mrs. Melvin Jones of Chicago, winner of the recent' Western championship, and Mrs. Fred C. Letts also of Chicago, the 1920 winner.

Miss Miriam Burns of Kansas City, the 18-vear-olil icirl who performed so sensationally in the Western, also is expected to come East tor tne event. Tho entries for the women's national will closo with T. J. McMahon, 31 Nassau Manhattan, Sept. 21, entries to be made through club sec retaries.

The qualifying play will be at 18 holes Monday. Oct. 3. Because the final has teen changed from 18 to 36 holes, the impression has got abroad that the qualifying had been raised to two circuits, but such is not the fact, the old limit ot 18 still ob. tabling.

Thirty-two will qualify for the title flight, and each forenoon there will be 18-hole match play till the 36-hole. final of Saturday, Oct. 8 Each day except Saturday will see an afternoon side event. Miss Leitch III. Miss Cecil Leitch, the British golf champion, will play no matches before the Canadian championship, which starts at Ottawa Sept.

19, owing to an attack of tonsilitis, with which she is laid up at Montreal. The illness is the. result of the cold caught on the voyage to Montreal. Mixed Bouts Planned For Brooklyn Armory Quite an innovation in the fistic 6port for this boi'o will take place on Saturday evening. Sept.

17, at the 47th Mounted Engineers Army. For first time in many years mixed bouts between white and colored men will be staged, besides other attractive bouts. Some of the dusky boys of the 15th Infantry, who made a wonderful reputation i.n the World Wrar, display the same aggressive fighting spirit in the ring as they did on the battlefield. Some half a dozen of them have been already booked to combat at the big Brooklyn Under the State military rules none but members of the National Guard are allowed to box in the armories, but no color line is drawn.

BOXING BOUTS TONIGHT, Jamaica S. Roughhouae Mars vs. Mexican Joe Lawaon, 13 roundi. By W. C.

mi-U D. A Lit rare rt-a a the la at at frlmuat lark will do mnr hrm ta racing iha T-formrra In the world. Tho sport dropped to Ihe toweot drptha whea Awdoctoea, ih gjhurwaa winner of waa made to look Ilka a cart horse by Oeorgss, a horaa atot much grratr ia ouality thaa a aril. In plater. Audacious was in no phs-seal conditio to raco and the in mea of the paddock knew it.

The result waa thai It was a race la nam only. Aa a matter of cold feet it waa a sure-thing contest In which, gamblers rented. ii waa another rasa of the St. Iildor-Snaa Dragon affair that was a stench la tho nostrils of every honest lover of raring during the Umpire City meeting. That was a cold Horace event that served tha ret.

r.t -quirk method of a noted actor on liroadway. The Audacious-Oeotgir race of yesterday was simi lar to It In every particular. Tha re- suit a of both races were practically certain, barring accidents. They were twin affairs. Inasmuch aa noted plungers made cleanups.

Tha only different between those races (ex. cusc the term rac aa applied) was this: Snap Dragon was the outsider in the betting, whereas Ucorgle was the favorite. JuM a tliat. You Know. Those shining lights of tho turf, Sandy MeXaughton and Arnold Roth-aUln.

were the men most Interested in the rrault the last race. Sandy trains Audacious: Rothsteln owns Grorgie. Both men were seen talking together early In the day. They may have been gossiping about tha sun. moon or the stara.

and not about the condition of their hnmea. The fact ttvat they were holding sweet converse, as one Willie Shakespeare would say, was no crime. Neither does it cast a shadow of reflection en the honesty of purpose of either man. But the fact that they were talking together may be Interesting to the patrons of rscing. If the racing stewards "run true lo form" they will probably say: "Who eares what and Rothsteln said?" Very true.

But every man, woman and child that Is Interesting In racing will come back with this query: "Why was Audacious sent to the post when he was In no physical condititon to show his best form?" Does it serve tho sport any good turn to have the Suburban winner beaten ten lengths in a common canter by a fifth-rate handicap horse? Will the Stewards Pass This Race? What do the turf magnates intend to do about this so-called race? Do they intend to pass it up? If so, they are not playing fair to the public. By the records of the horses. Audacious, despite his weight of 130 pounds, should have been ihe favorite at 1 to 2. Instead, Georgie, that has not won four races this year, went to the post first choice at 9 to 20. Audacious, the Suburban winner, mind you, was second choice at 7 to 6.

If ever a rsce calls for an investigation it is the last race of yesterday. No man has been more successful li- putting over "good things" in the last two years than McNaughton. has waxed fat financially. The mediums of his coups in great part were maiden two-year-olds after running "qualifying races." Ten-Lee, Honey Cell. Firm Friend and others cannot recall at present won after being heavily backed by McNaughton and his friends.

Sandy "got away" with the killings because of the silly notion that prevails among the racing stewards that a horse has no form until he finishes inside of the money. Was Audacious Qualifying? But no' -such lame excuse can be offered on behalf of Audacious. This horse won several of the most important handicaps of the spring. He was a factor in every race in which be started this year up to his race" in the Saratoga Handicap, Before that event a day before the handicap was scheduled he ran away three miles. Despite that handicap against his physical condition he was a keen contender until the homestretch.

Audacious had not started in several weeks until yesterday. Perhaps the excuse will be offered that he was not on edge because of his runaway escapade. If any such excuse Is offered it should be severely dealt with. It is no excuse. No man is worthy of a license as a.

trainer who will send a horse to the post in the physical condition-that Audacious was-esterday. He was unable to show the slightest trace of his great speed and was so palpably "short" that at the end of three furlongs he was beaten to a turn. Good Football Players Scientific Loafers BOSTON, Sept. 8 Good college football players should be scientific loafers. This is the theory on which Coach Frank Cavanaugh is training Boston College gridiron aspirants.

"In football," Coach Cavanaugh told his men. "energy should not be wasted. It should be conserved until the proper time. The scien-tillc loafer who has the stuff when he is needed is better than the man who, although earnest and conscientious, tosses away his strength uselessly." His method is contrary to that of many coaches who drive players at top speed to develop strength. A.

A' study of the dope shows that the Cardinals have the- edge thus far on every team in the lcasu? except ritts-burg and Cincinnati. They hae won 8 and lost 9 with the Tiratcs and have won 10 and lost 10 with the Ueds.

Their fate in the two panics with th Hed3 tomorrow and Saturday should be watched with keen interest. The two teams have broken even to date, but their last iiieetins was rather for the Cardinals. They were echedulcd for live games in four days In St. Louis, beginning Aug. 10, and then Jumped to Cincinnati for one game on Aug.

14. All six games were flayed and the Reds won 4 of the fi. The Reds won 3 of the in Louis end also won the extra gajuc in Cincinnati. On those pa.t performances, which arc fairlv recent, and closely preceded the wlnDins spurt in which the Cardinals have won 14 of their last 5 6 games, the Cardinals will have their hands full in Cincinnati in the rcxt two days. As we have pointed out on a previous occasion, the Reds are a very much wronger ban team than they were in the early part of the season, and the same applies to the Cardinals, while it is doubtful whether the Pirates arc much better pow than they were in the first two months of the campaign.

In Chicago, on f-'unday, the Cardinals should, not have a vast deal of difficulty unless Alexander is saved for their special benefit. It is an accepted principle in the league that the best offensive against the Cardinals Is conducted by a stout right handcr. The Cardinals have won 13 and lost 8 with the Cubs. Sinre the great majority of their conflicts were staged the Cubs have slipped, until for til" past month they have won at a .300 rate, while the Cardinals have been going great guns for the past two weeks. Iast Series May Decide J'cnnant.

If the Cardinals keep on at. their I4-won-2-lost rate and the Pirates and Giants continue to hit snags as they have been doing, the National League race may be decided in St. Louis by the five games the Pirates are scheduled to play in four days. Sept. 29 and 30 are open dates for all other teams except the Pirates and Cardinals in St.

Louis. Then, on Saturday, Oct. 1, everybody plays, with Boston In Brooklyn. On Oct. 2 everybody plays except the Phillies and who do not have Sunday baseball and finish their season on Oct.

1. With the penchant of the Cardinals for winning at home, and with the moral edge they may be presumed to have acquired on the Vlrates by whipping them three straight in Pittsburg In the series which began Sept. 1, the odds would all be in favor of the Cardinals accomplishing great results In a final series of f.ve games with the Pirates in St. Louis. Cards May Win for.Giants.

That series may decide the pennant, even if St. Louis be out of the race, tt will, or should, react greatly to the BxJvantage of the Giants, if they are closely on the heels of the Pirates when Sept. 29 rolls around, to have Going Up! The New Tork Yankees and Giants tnoved forward in the pennant race yesterday, each winning double-headers. The Giants' victories, at the expense of Philadelphia, placed ttiem within points of the Pittsburg riratcs. The.

tCew Yorkers today have won 82 games and lost 54, while Pittsburg is credited with SO games won and 51 lost. The Yankees increased their first place lead in the American League by half a game In twice defeating the Boston Red Sox while Cleveland was winning one game from Detroit. The Yankees today held a 10-point lead pver the Indians. Each team had tvon 82 games, but Cleveland has lost two more.

She la a slow beginner and always has to make up a great deal of ground, lost usually In the starting zone. Such was the case yesterday, she and her stable-mate Vendor were next to last and last, respectively, 100 yards beyond the starting post. Duncecap closed up considerable ground on the turn for home. But even then she might not have won if the leaders had not swung wide snd opened up for her. In the twinkling of an eyelid she raced from fifth place to the leading position.

That dainty little daughter ol Sweep, Nancy won the fifth race-a 6-furlong sprint down the straight chute.

Dream of Allah, which had been winning races in the Southwest in the spring, was brought here to take the measure of Nancy F. Instead the little daughter of Sweep fairly danced away from her and the daughter of Colin was unable to finish better than third, My Reverie beating her out for the place honors. Although beaten. Dream of Allah ran a good race, and had the distance been 6 furlongs instead of 5 she would have worn down her opponents. My Reverie was favored by the moisture in the track of the homestretch over which the race was run all the way.

In her previous races she pulled up sore. Nancy F. led from the start to the finish. It was only in the last half furlong that My Reverie and Dream of Allah were able to get closo to, her. Harrv F.

Hunter Will Stay In V. S. Willie Hunter, the British amateur golf champion, now in St. Louis practicing for the championship, asserted yesterday that ho will remain an amateur and will probably not return to England, having received a lucrative offer to represent a woolen company in the United States and Can ada as traveling salesman. As he becomes thus constructively an American resident, perhaps tho keen eilge of the international character of bis appearance will be somewhat dulled.

Who Labeled This Tournament? What is impressively called the "New York State open golf championship" Is scheduled for the Bellevue links, Syracuse. Sept. 19-20, 56 holes a day. The first prize iB $500. No entrance foe is charged.

Last ytfir Walter llagen was the winner with 293, eight strokes less than second low, two Pats being tied at 301, D'le and O'Hara. Hagen set a course record of 71. Several special awards of25 will be made for single round aid) single day's scores, etc. 1 It is Hot clear as lo what ssocia-lion or organization- has uufiiorized the title of "New York Htirfe open championship" to be givenlto this competition. If no body of coiirolliug authority has taken such actl ctli.

then ITH the possible absence of P.obby Jones, the Southern champion, from the firing lino at St. Louis, Atlanta will pin hcrhopes in the coming national amateur golf championship on Richard Hickey, who last Saturday won the Atlanta championship on the Druid Hills course by defeating Chick Ridley in the final by 6 and 4 in 36 holes. Hickey had no walkover in winning the title. In the semi-finals he ran up against Veazey Rainwater and stood 3 down with 3 to go, but cap tured the match on the 19th hole. Rickey's first appearance in a national tournament was last year in the amateur at the Engineers, when he.

was unlucky enough to draw Francis Ouimet as his opponent in the first round. The Southern youth fared better than had been expected, holding his redoubtable opponent to a margin of only 3 and 2. Ouimet went on to the final, in which he lost to Evans. There is doubt about Jones' appearance at St. Louis as he severely burned his left hand Aug.

31. There is considerable fear among the Atlanta golfers that the hand may not heal in time for the St. Louis championship. Even it it does there will always be the feeling should he be. beaten, that a perfect hand might have given him a vic-(orv.

Though Jones may be well enough to plav in the championship, ht mav not. play against Mitchell and Duncan in Memphis and Louisville. Bobbv is slated to play with Hutchison against the British pair nt Memphis on Sept. 10, and his appearance then will do much to show whether he is fit to do himself Justice at St. Louis.

If he goes into that hard exhibition with an unhealed hand he may incapacitate himself for the championship. The Atlanta. Constitution of last Sunday said that entry for the St Louis title play had already been announced, but this was an error, unhw entw having been received at ihe if s. (i. A.

headquarters only yes-- terday The receiving of this entry at this late date indicates that Jones considers his hand hopefully on the mend. This accident to Jones shows how 111 luck dogs the footsteps of big golfers on the eve of big championships. In 19011, at Wheatnn, TI. Chandler Egan ate a piece of pie that gave him pto-maine poisoning the night before, the national championship final against Robert A. Gardner and was beaten.

In 1916, just before the national amateur at Merlon. Robert A. Gardner of Atlanta, hurt the forefinger of his left band so that he was not at his best in the final with Chick Evans, and in 1919, nt. Oakmont, In the national amateur, Ouimet was so weakened by illness that there was; doubt he could play through. The night before the start of the British amateur championship last spring at Hoylnlte, J.

Wood Piatt of Philadelphia, fell down stairs and injured a leg so badly he could not compete In, the. title play. Jt looks as if there, is a ehi ice for Mme golf Insurance company to dates put in two hours of extensive work in putting, forward passing, falling on 1he ball and sprinting. CaptHin John Atwood Jack Neavllng and Everett Drew of last year's team were veterans who reported. Two new candidates, C.

Neav-ling and W. Greely, from the football squad of the University ol Maine, were on hand. It looks like a case of nrrsu iu inula uie luuraainent. I a untfitlon eyr I.
