Eradshaw held the Dunmen to six scattered hits wbfle blows were INDIANS HAKE SEVEN RUNS IN NINTH TO WIN The Shamokin Indians put on their battle paint yesterday in the ninth inning making: seven runs to win. The score was 8 to 3. Although defeated, the Clurkmen still lead the league by a few thousandths of a point. Dodson and Snelling both lost their ecalps in the ninth and big inning for the Tribe, and Poli who was put in to stem the tide was nicked for a number of hits.

The Indian rampage was a big surprise and no matter how hard the local pitchers pitched the Tribe slugged their offerings. The slender lead of the Senators was made look little. Dodson pitched one of his best panics of the year in the first eight innings, allowing only four hits and one run. However in the ninth ho UNITED STATES ACES DEFEAT ENGLISH STARS FOREST HILLS, L. Aug.

13. Helen Wills won the first victory for America and the shortest match ever played in Wightman Cup history yesterday. Before a crowd of 2500 in the Stadium of the West Side Tennis Club. She defeated Miss Joan Fry, of England, by stores of 6-2, G-0 in just twenty-four minutes. Mrs.

Molla Mallory, the national champion, then made it two for America, by triumphing over Mrs. Kitty McKane Godfree, the British captain, 6-4, 6-2. Starting slowly, losing her own service in the first game, Mrs. Mallory came from behind to win the match and even an old score, for Mrs. Godfree beat her two years ago in- the Wightman matches.

England's one victory was scored in doubles when Miss Gwynneth Sterry and Mrs. John Hill defeated Mrs. Charlotte Hosmer Chapin and Miss Eleanor Goss at 5-7, 7-5, 7-5. The fact that a tie exists, with two victories" credited to each country, and the selection of so many youngsters to assist the veterans this year raised interest in the international matches to the keenest pitch. Two sides of the big stadium were solidly packed yesterday, and the center section was checkered with the bright colors of summer costumes.

Helen Wills, cyc-shaded, cf courRe, but wearing a rose sweater instead of the usual blue one, heard welcoming applause as she took the court. The gallery snt up expectantly to watch the blistering drives and deadly volleying they had heard so much about. As it turned out, they saw nothing of the kind. Miss Wills did not need to call on her best game to defeat Miss Fry and she achieved her Victors with the minimum of effort. The English girl was nervous and unable to dq herself justice and the gallery, friendly though it meant to be.

did not help her by applauding jonial Country Club by missing two twenty-foot putts, ihe match was for eighteen holes. Armour, United States and Canadian open champion, and Cruickshank, North and South open champion, won the match only after a struggle. George Morrison, the Colonial Club professional, missed two birdies on the twelfth and seventeenth greens. These puts were the margin between defeat and victory for the Harrisburg team. Iron play really brought victory to the visiting pros as every member of the foursome played excellent golf, Cruickshank shooting a 72 for one under par.

Armour a par 73, Morris a 75, and Gerhart, a 76. Armour never was more than a short distance off of the line with his irons while Cruickshank was almost as good. Tho play was so consistent throughout the match thai there was no room for sensational golf. In the seventh Armour pitched a beautiful high ball from behind a small tree to the green while on the fourth Gerhart and Morris both had excellent pitches, sinking a birdie three. About 300 enthusiasts attended the match and the visiting professionals were pleased with the course and the work of tlj Harrisburg players.

Armour and Cruickshank have not lost a match on their present exhibition tour. Scores: Armour -3 MRS. MALLORY, LEFT, AND HELEN JACOBS You'll hear quite a bit about these two stars of the net world during the next few weeks. Holding the trophy she won in the Seabright championship is Mrs. Molla B.

Mallnry. The other is fair Helen Jacobs, of California, who lost in the finals of that tournament to Mrs. Mallory. They're both entered in all important eastern meets of the next few weeks. Mrs.

Mallory is the present women's national champion. became wild, walking two men in nine pitches. Starting to walk another man, he was relieved by Manager Clark. Snelling, the relief twirler, was put in before he was properly warmed up and sent a third man to first on balls. Poli was put in before he wad warmed up and allowed five hits.

Lynch, for the Tribe, was in excellent shape and an exciting pitcher's battle resulted in the first eight innings. The Clarkmen were unable to tally until the fourth. With two men out in the fourth Duke Steffen connected with a good ball for a single and stole secnd and scored on Martineck'a two bagger. The Indians tied the score in the seventh when Curry lead off witfT a two bagger and Artus singled. The Senators again took the lead in their half of the seventh and added another run in the eighth.

A double header today on the Island marks the end of the series with Shamokin. One loss, while Wilkes-Barre wins, loses the league leadership. On Monday a double header will be played in Scranton. Tomorrow's game with Scranton will be played on Tuesday.

Native sons of the state of Illinois, forty-eight in 'all, are naturally in the majority in the roster of sixty-five candidates for the University of Illinois football team who have been asked to report for the opening practice on September 15. But since Illinois is the third largest university in the United States, it is not strange that seventeen candidates hail from other states, Oklahoma is represented by three, Indiana and Missouri by two and Wisconsin, Nebraska, Michigan, Montana, New Mexico, Kansas, Idaho, Rhode Island and Ohio by one each. T. B. Huddleston, 243 pounds and getting heavier, but 6ix feet three inches tall and not a "fatty" by any means, is the biggest man and L.

Wietz, 232 pounds, is next in point of avoirdupois. know any more abiiut what his deci sion would be than we now know with a trained baseball writer, who usually has devoted years to watching games and discusses the closo ones with other experienced scores, in the press box. Understand me, Rog, I am not opposing the traveling official scoring system. I agree with you that we players want a good batting average, for it means higher wages and we want every base hit that we are fairly entitled to get. But I do question whether the scheme you propose would have any real effect on the batting records.

The luck that enters Into hitting, which I have mentioned to you in previous letters, is the thinsr that Psometimes get my goat. Last week I had all sorts of trouble getting myself a half dozen or so safe blows. I remember at least three line drives and a couple of wicked grounders that were caught. Had I been batting at my spring gait. I honestly believe all those liners and bad hopping grounders would have gone thru for hits.

Some days the batter ahead of me will crash a liner directly at a fielder and lose a double or triple. Then maybe I'll come up and pop a fly behind first or third bases and get me a double. I think if you consider this pro-position from all angles, you'll find it is the lucky hits the safeties that might have been caught but had to be scored hits when they were not touched by a fielder more than tho close ones that an official scorer calls as he sees them, that are factors in our averages, along with the liners and are smacked at a fielder and are caught. 4 iu o. ameruii el In Gerhart AB.R.

.250 or Better COLLEY Iof(ers Ifornsby DEAR ROG: Your letter of last Wednesday regarding official scoring interested me greatly. But again, I am not so sure I agree with you when you sug-guest traveling official scorers, paid by the major leagues, to stabilize the decisions on basehits. To be frank about it, Rog, I don't find that the scoring differs very much in my league. I think that in the main the scorers use good judgment. And I have had over twenty-two seasons of this scoring.

Recently I turned in my 4000th base hit. Now I can't recall over a half dozen instances where I thought the scorer used poor judgment in charging the fielder with an error instead of crediting me with a safe blow. Yes, I'll go farther than that. I'll say to you that for every close one I lost, I got a close one in my favor on another day. Probably there have been as many as a hundred times when I was peeved the morning after a game when I picked up the paper and found that I had two hits where I expected three.

I had lost a. close one. But by the time the game of that day started, I had forgotten all about it. I had thought it over and decided that the grounder might have been handled and thrown to first ahead of me. What I would like you to tell me la why you think traveling officials would standardize scoring.

When a ball was knocked to a shortstop, and it took a bad hop, it would be a case of the traveling scorer's judgment whether it was a hit or an error. Really, I can't see where we would Yours Pi ti SAYS Twas Some Struggle. Los Angeles Big League, It's tho Same Old Story. Promotor Made Money. International Feature Servtoe CopyrlBht.

1927 MY FAMOUS WEST coast operative, E-69, otherwise Hap O'Connor, reports to me on the fight In Los 1 Angeles between Aco Hudkins and Serg. Sammy Baker, announcing drying about the same general conclusion that was arrived at by out local ringworms who saw these boys in their first battle at the Polo Grounds. "Another fight like this," remarks T-69, "and Both will be reading tho newspapers upside down. Sammy Baker and his manager, Steve Weber, gave a supper after the fight for the mob out here, and poor Sammy just sat there staring out into the wide open spaces. "Both eyes "were nearly closed, and his lips were- swollen.

He. stuck ar'eund until nearly daybreak just the same, talking about how he is going to tamo the Wildcat if he gets another, shot. The Ace's manager ought to bep ut away for like if he lets Hudkins fight Sergeant Sammy again. Hudkins had seven stitches taken in his lower lip. And with both eyes cut' way down deep above and below the lids, the Ace was quite a sight." As you can see, it must have been something of a struggle.

Hfldkins got the decision in Los Angeles. Baker got the decision in New Y'ork when a merciful referee stopped the battlo when Hudkins's eve was badly cut. MR. O'CONNOR argues quiet correctly, I think that this scrap with its attendant gate receipts, puts Los Angeles In the pugilistic big league. It draws $93,063.80 and with the Federal taxes out, $84,603 was left.

Of this sum, Hudkins get 27H per cent, or $22,096.09. Baker got $20,078.36, the largest purse that, either fighter ever collected. The world's championship Dundee-Latzo fight in New York drew only about $81,000. It was their fight In New York and Baker's victory by the technical knockout that helped make the Los Angeles match, of course. Hudkins built up his reputation in Los Angeles long before he came East, and is a much bigger drawing card there than he is anywhere else.

The Los Anglese ringworms have never seen hint decisively beaten, and when they heard that he had been pummeled by an opponent until the. fight had to be stopped they became eager to see the pumeler. Then Ser geant Sammy bowled over Mushy auanan, another Los Angeles favorite, and tho West coasters decided that the soldier must be a veritable phenom. -r Thus they began buying tickets the moment the Hudkins-Baker match was announced. New Y'ork also claimed the match, but it would not have drawn half the Los Angeles gate here.

Not even championship bouts are pulling that kind of money in the ring just now. THE LOS ANGELES ringworms were familiar with the speetacle of Hudkins clouting an opponent all over the ing, and fhile this spectacle was pleasing enough first, it finally pulled. They decided that it would be more of a novelty to see Hudkins clouted, a mood that eventually comes to the clients of every pugilistic community whre a fight is uniformly successful. The prospect of seeing a local favorite clouted has ever produced fat gates. Or perhaps 1 shouldn't say favorite, for after a fighter has a long period of success in one locality he is no longer a general favorite.

Half the crowd may still be pullinsr for him. but the other half goes hoping to see him licked. It has been the secret of great prosperity with many a fighter. For instanoe, if some heavyweight that the Los Angeles ringworms think has a chance to beat George Godfrey. "The Black Shadow of Leiperville," should go to the coast, he would draw a gate rivalling that of HHudklns and Baker.

Godfrey has whipped every man he has met out there for tne past couple of years and while he is not highly regarded in the East, he would draw a huge gate with some fellow Paulino, or the terrible Sharkey man. That is because the Lot Angeles ringworms would be hoping to see him licked. They are tired of seeing him win. It Is the same old 'story all over the pusrilistie land. THE PROMOTER OF the Hudkins-Baker match was Dick Donald, who is said to have cleared around $30,000 for himself.

Donald, has been struggling along with indifferent success as a promoter since boxing wag legalized, in California, and it was his first real break. Incidentally, it was a new record for pugilistic gate receipts in California. Donald has drawn upwards of $60,000 with other shows. Dundee and Mitchell Suspended Until Jan. 1 MILWAUKEE, Aug.

13. Joe Dundee, welterweight champion, and Pinkey Mitchell, a contender for Dundee's title, were yesterday afternoon suspended by the Wisconsin Boxing Commission until January 1, 1928.

13. Jimmy Maloney had an easy workout with the Jamaica kid in the scheduled feature bout at Dexter Park last night. The Boston fat boy stopped his opponent after one minute and four seconds of the fourth, round. Maloney pounded his opponent from the opening gong and the first straight right he landed he had Jamaica kid groggy. After that solid smash the negro floundered about the ring at the mercy of Maloney's relentless thumping.

Maloney is scheduled to meet George Godfrey in Philadelphia Monday night and it was generally believed that last night's bout would be an easy workout for him. It was. Malonoy, enjoying a weight advantage of twenty-three pounds, toyed with Jamaica kid from the start. His only setback was trying to get a clean! shot at Jamaica kid's jaw. The Boston fighter pounded terrific rights to his opponents midsection early in the opening round, after Jamaica kid had rushed across the ring to meet Maloney.

The kid. if he did nothing else, gave the fans a good laugh. While he was groggy he tried running away from Maloney and at one time he ran clear across the ring and then clutched the ropes in desperate fashion and peered around looking for Maloney. Only on occasional spurts did the kid land clean punches on Maloney's jaw but they had little or no effect. In the third round Maloney dropped Jamaica kid with a short right to the jaw.

He was up to the count of four, however, and ma'naged to hold on until the gong. Still feeling the effects of the Maloney right punch from the previous round, Jamaica kid came slowly out of his corner for the fourth round. Maloney battered him around and while they were in close Jamaica kid dropped to his knees. The final punch mystified the crowd, who did not see it. Referee Eddie Forbes explained that it was a short right to the heart.

C. A. Whitcombe, of the famous family of golfing professionals from tho west of England, won the 5000 northern professional championship here Friday with a score of 280 for 'the 72 holes. Report Premature NEW YORK, Aug. 13.

Word that the British Army-in-India lineup for the international matches at Meadow-brook next month would be chosen after last Thursday's game at Tal-bott Field, was premature, and it is doubtful if the general staff of the invaders, consisting of Col. Commandant H. A. Tomkinson, Col. De la Poer Bereaford and the Maharajah of will make its decision even after today's game, which will be held nt 4 o'clock on Cochran Field at Meadowbrook.

CREWS vs JENNINGS ST. LOUIS, Aug. 13. Ted Drews, defending champion, of St. Louis, and George Jennings, of Chicago, will meet here Sunday in tne singles nnais of the National Public Parks tennis tournament by virtue of their victories this afternoon.

N. the points she won on Helen's Will's errors. Miss Fry was faster on her feet than Miss Wills. She covered court superbly, but control was lacking, and when she had a chance to put away the ball she almost invariably overdrove. She registered nineteen outs in the first set, and Miss Wills, who was none too steady in the opening games, was not far behind with thirteen.

Compare that with the second set, when the invincible Helen allowed Miss Fry just six points-three on three on outs. She had twenty-five herself and she made a skyrocket finish by winning the last game at love with four placement aces. Mrs. Godfree was favored to defeat Mrs. Mallory, and when she broke through service in the first game and then put over a service ace and three placements for a 2-0 lead, it looked as though she- wouldn't take long.

But Mrs. Mallory is most dangerous when she is trailing and she showed her mettle by winning the next at love. Two more games she took, before Mrs. Godfree drew level at three-all. Most of these games were one long rally after another.

The two players stood at the baseline and just slammed the ball back and forth, interminably. At first, it was Mrs. Godfree who ended the exchange with a well-placed drive to the corner. Later Mrs. Mallory supplied punching finishing shots.

In the second 'set, she completely overwhelmed the English player, running up a 5-0 lead before the other took a game. GIANTS WIN AS ROG GETS HOMER The New York Giants gained en the National League leaders by coming from behind yesterday to defeat the Brooklyn Kobins, 7 to 6, in ten innings. Trailing by six runs, the Giants scored five in the eighth, Rogers Hornsby coming through with a home run with the bases full. New York then tied the score in the ninth and won out in the tenth. The Braves beat the Phillies, 12 to 6, in a loosely played heavy-hitting contest.

Jim Bottomley broke up an eleven-inning pitchers battle between Jess Haines and Carmen Hill with a home run which enabled the -Cardinals to make it two straight from the Pirates, 2 to 1. Haines allowed the visitors but four hits, while the world's champions made 6ix off Hill, including Bottomley's circuit clout in the eleventh. The Athletics convinced the Sox that the latter were not headed far in their recent winning streak by administering another drubbing to Carrigan's charges, 7 to 1. The Tigers beat the Browns, 7 to 3. Philadelphia Division Team Beats Silk Mill The Harrisburg Silk Mill aggregation lost to the Philadelphia Division Juniors last evening in a six inning game, 6 to 3.

Hepperle, on the mound for the Juniors, was invincible with the exception of the fourth inning when the Silk Mill team scored their three runs. The score: SILK MILL P. B. R. abrhoa abrhoa Covne.cf...
