procession of inntehts For the forenoon had brought the sad news that the moat aggressive factor the somewhat well known Ruth would not be able to take part in the day's game becafcae of an infected arm The infection caused by the persistency in sliding to bases on top of a soie near the elbow the heritage of a set ape of the flesh sustained in a slide to second late In the American league season may keep him out of the remainder of the senes But tomorrow will be another day and Mm-age- Huggins of the Yankees had apparently not lost hope tonight that the big fellow with a complete rest would be able to gel Sunday with at least a good share of his accustomed aggressiv eness Rest for Carl Map From the Yankee viewpoint also the postponement was welcome as giving Call Mays an additional day for restoration after las high class performance in the-opening game Wednesday when he blanked the Giants and statted his club off on the two to one advantage in the series which it now- holds Harry Harper the speedy but somewhat erratic southpaw was looked upon as Manager Huggins' likely selei tiun for the pitching assignment if today's game had been played but it appeared certain that with Mays given his three days rest he would be sent in against the Nationals tomorrow (lants Strain at la-ash The Giants who with dander up and bristling with the confidence their volcanic outburst of hitting Friday's vu-torous tilt had given them strained at the leash and bemoaned the adverse weather Phil Douglas was on the cards to twirl for them today The postponement it was understood would make no difference in selection of a boxrnan for Sunday and Douglass benefitted like Mavs by an additional rest period will without much doubt be in again tomorrow against Mays Ruth was out to the ball park today but was not in uniform and had his arm in rf sling He still favors also his strained leg which has been giving him trouble some weeks and sorrowfully said he might not be able to play any more

Observer CHAPEL FULL Oct Chapel Hill High school defeated the Trinity Park school of Durham 7 to 6 at football here today A curious incident probably unprecedented in football marked the game After Trinity Park scored its touchdown it apparently did not know the procedure of attempting to kick a goal Tiie referee tried to explain telling the visiting player who held the ball not to let the ball touen the ground until the moment it was to be kicked Tills injunction was disregarded but the referee gave the visitors pn-other chance Again the ball was let down on the ground without being kicked Two men in a position to kick it hesitated each apparently waiting for the other to do the job This time the referee gave it up in despair and declared no goal But when the game was all over he decided to give Trimly Park still another chance The ball was kicked at last but it did not go between the posts and Chapel Hill lemamed ISS HOLLINS IS COIF DEAL Oct A new champion woman golfer of the
