Two Teams Fighting
For American League
, Flag, With The For
mer On Top By Small
Margin.
Kew Tork, Sept. 2. Washington
aad New York are fighting the main
beut In the American league with
PltUjDurih and Brooklyn challeng
ing the Giant in the National.
' The world'i champions, following
the leu of three of the flrat four
rounds to their younger rivals after
atubbora fighting, kept even In the
next two yesterday and are still
given an equal chance to retain their
title because of experience which Is
expected to count in the last stages. .
The veteran Goliath of the Na
tleaal, however, continues to show
signs of aging legs which may fail
i the final encounter with the
youthful Pirate challengers or the
sturdy Robin who suddenly aban
doned his role as parring partner
and knocked the champ out of the
ring in a. three-game series last
week.
The Giants were the only main
teut team to falter in the Labor Day
double-headers. Washington took
twe from the Athletics by scores of
6 to 3 and 1 to 3, but the Yankees
kept within a game and one-half of
the lead by trimming the Red Sox
1 to 0 and 12 to 2.
For the first time in months the
National league race became closer
than the American as Pittsburgh ad
vanced to within one game and
Brooklyn surged to within three con
teats Of the Gianta in first place.
McGraw's beya lost a decision in the
11th to Boston, 5 to 4, but came
back with a 10 to 2 victory.
The Pirates went into extra
rounds to win from Chicago, 5 to 4,
ad dropped the Bruin again for a
count of 4 to 3. Brooklyn swung a
mean right and a left for a double
kneckeut of the Phillies, 7 to 2 and
to t.
Detroit slipped another game
away from the rank of contenders
by splitting with Chicago, winning
the first 1( to 5, but losing the sec
end 19 to 2. Cleveland and St. Louis
also divided arguments as the
Browns won the first 11 to 8 and lost
Che aeeead 13 to 2. With Hornsby
still out of the game the Cards took
two on the chin from the Reds and
were counted out 5 to 0 and 9 to 0.

OF RACEJNTEREST
French Horse Being Prepared
lor Eyent ol Sept 24
New York, Sept S. Epinard,
beaten half a length by Wise Coun
sellor In the six furlong race which
Inaugurated the series ef three In
ternational events, remains the piv
otal point of speculation as trainers
prepare their stars for the next en
gagement over a mtle at Aqueduct
September 24.
In the stretch at Belmont Park
yesterday, when Wis Counsellor
came up on the outside to challenge
Baffling; Zev and Epinard, which
had been running In that order, it
was the French horse which fur
nlshed the contest as tha other two
fell back. Stride for striae they
struck off 100 yards as (10,000 peo-
nirf. Inciiirlinir the Prince of Wales,
!! Cheered them on. The Impetus with
which Frankle Keough brought the
chestnut son of Mentor by Rustle up
from fifth was stronger by half a
length than the power Everett
Haynes gathered with his mount
when the chestnut menace appeared
on his flank.
Following a statement made be
fore the special race by Trainer
Eugene Leigh that he thought Epin
ard needed a competitive race and
based further upon the general
opinion that the European champion
would perform better at the longer
distance, the chance of Pierre Wert
helmer's chestnut colt to win the
mile at Aqueduct and the mile and
a" quarter at Latonla on October 11
will be rated beiier than his status
before yesterday's race in which
Wise Counsellor was a 13 to five fav
orite. Until the winner circled the out
side In the stretch and drove into
the race, it appeared that the own
ers of Zev and Epinard, champion
three year olds of two continents in
1923, would realize an ambition of
last year to have the two colts meet.
Zev, quoted with Epinard at 8 1-2
to 1, lookirlg good at the post, hung
only a head behind Baffling and kept
a neck beyond Epinard until Wise
Counsellor set the killing pace
which brought him to the wire In
1:11 4-6, ahead of both.
In the finish the greatest money
winner of all time was passed by
August Belmont's Ladkin, which finished-
third, three lengths behind
Epinard, and Snob 11, which took
fourth. Zev, Hulling up in the
Stretch, was fifth, and Wilderness
sixth. Baffling dropped to seventh
3
ust ahead of Miss Star, me oniy
filly
the race, and tjosnwan,
which trailed. Rialto, wonnmore
t utie Thief had been scratched.
The race carried a money value of
$29,000 to the victor.

MISS COLLETT HAS
EASYGOLF MATCH
Is Favorite in Opening Round ol
Women's Championship"
"ayatt, R. I., Sept. 2. Thirty-two
golfers, out of 98 entries and 80
starters in the qualifying round, re
mained in the annual tournament
tor the women's national champion
ship, as it entered the first round of
match play today.
One feature of the 3 6 matches on
today's program was the content be
tween the former golf champion, Mrs.
H. Arnold Jackson, of Greenwich,
Conn., and the former tennis cham
pion, Miss Mary K. Browne, of San
ta Monica, California, who made her
debut in national golf competition
by qualifying with 9S, despite ten

Two former national golf cham
pions were matched in the persons
of Miss Marion Hollins of New York
and Mrs. Dorothy Campbell Hurd of
Philadelphia. An 80 by Miss Hol
lins in the qualifying round, one
stroke more than the score that won
the qualifying medal, has made her
one of the favorites for the title.
Miss Collett, who won the medal
with a 79, the lowest score ever
made in the tournament and the
first time SO has been broken, was
regarded as having an ea.sy match
today with Miss Ruth Batchelder of
Weston, Mass.
There was special interest in thp
match between Miss Miriam Burns
of Kansas City and Miss Frilzi Stel
fel of Wheeling, West Va., because
Miss Steifel qualified in the play-off
of last place ties with the help of a
250-yard drive, followed by a birdie
three. Hiss Burns qualified with 92.
Past performances, in the opinion
of the gallery, Indicate a semi-iinal

round match between Miss Burns
and Miss Edith Cummins of Chi

'BIG BILL' MEETS
'LinLEJBHT TODAY
Famous Tennis Stars Fight Out
Final Match
Forest Hills, N. Y., Sept. J.
America's famous rivals for premier
tennis laurels "Big Bill" Tllden,
champion for ths past four years,
and "Little Bill" Johnston, twice
former champion will stage an
other duel for national titular hon
ors this afternoon on the turf courts
of the West Ride Tennis club.
They have met In four of tha past
five final round matches, besides one
battle that came before tha finals,
and Tllden has been victor four
times. On past performances, the
lelgnlng king of the courts la a fa
vorite, but today's struggle prom
ises to be one of the most keenly
waged of any Ihey have had.
The chief reason for enthusiasm
on the part of Johnston's followers
Is that while the little Callfornian
was sweeping through to an aston
ishingly easy victory over Gerald
Patterson, Australian champion, In
yesterday's finals, with the loss of
but two games, Tllden was extended
to a sensational five-set battle to
dispose of Vincent Richards.
Tllden, In fact, besides dropping
the first and fourth sets, came with
in a point of losing the third sot, be
fore he finally rose to th'e peak of
his characteristic brilliancy to sweep
Richards back In the fifth set. The
scores of this match were 4-6, 6-2,
8-6. 4-6. 6-4.
It was the first time since thef
finals of 1922 against Johnston that
Tllden had been forced to five sets
In defense of his title. His young
former pupil, now the Olym'plan
champion, battled spectaculany for
every point and although he had the
benefit of host ot the "breaks," he
was playing the type of versatile
game that gives the champion the
most trouble. Tllden'e cannonball
service, on which he scored 19 aces,
and his greater power and accuracy
at critical junctures proved the de
ciding factors.
Johnston, uow apparently at the
height of a brilliant comeback, will
enter the finals with the. record of
not having lost a set in six matches
during as many days of tournament
play. Tilden, on the other hand, lost
sets to Manuel Alonso and Edward
Klnsey before dropping back anoth
er pair yesterday, but despite his
somewhat erratic work, the titlehol
der always has given the Impression
that he has the reserve force und
strokes to meet any emergency.
