Twirlers-Are Putting Cincinnati in Run
LUQUE. DONOHUE ,AND RIXEY
.ning for PennantwReds Have Made a Big Gain
By ART CABLSON.
In the last few weeks of play the
Cincinnati Reds have Jumped into
the pennant-contender class in the
National League.
From fifth place they have leaped
to within fairly close reach of the
Pirates and Giants. pace-setters
since early in the chase. over a short
stretch.
Around the middle of July the
Redlegs'wcre nine full games be-
hind the McKechnie and Monw
outfits. apparently out of the reck-
oning. 1a the percentage column
they were below the .500 mark and
Just a step ahead of the.Philllos in
sixth place. '
And-then—with the race‘ more
than half over. the Cincy clan hit a
remarkable winning streak. So
much so that the old league center
now looms up u I. three-cornered
battle down the final stretch.
Shoulders Burden.
Since the Reds opened up a few
weeks back they have cut the lead
of the Pirates almost in half and
have gained six full tilts on the
Giants. In other words. while the
Pittsburg team has added but four
points to its percentage and the
Giants have lost 24. the Reds have
gained 49.
Much of the success of the lien-
dricks combination has been due to
the stellar pitching of Luque. Dono~
hue and Itixcy. They have borne
the brunt of the pitching assign-
ments. And have been turning in
victories far too often for the hopes
of New York and Pirates fans.
They've been the Reds' "Big Three."
All of which brings up the ques-
tion Can they emulate the sensa-
tional work of the Boston Braves
great triumvirote. composed of
James. Rudolph and Tyler. back in
lill4?
It will be recalled that in that
never-to-be-forgotten campaign the
Braves jumped from a seller berth
early in July to a pennant and
World championship. The feat
earned the appellation of “baseball's
miracle team." It was Justly de-
served. ‘

During that remarkable stretch of
success James. Rudolph and Tyler

percentage of .881. James copped

What must be the existing con-

hits in their turn at bat and have

O O
No doubt a game once played by
Cleveland and Philadelphia is the
bus-cs for the many queries I have
received on such a situation.
When Philadelphia went to bat
in the first half of the seventh in-
ning the score was 18-5 in favor of
t‘flevcland, the home team. Phila-
delphia made six runs in its half of
the seventh. ltain then forced the
umpires to call the game before
Cleveland could take its turn at
but.
What was the score? Were the
six runs scored by Philadelphia
wasted? Did the game revert back
to even innings? _
The final score was 13-11. even
though Cleveland never did have
its turn at but.
The rule says that if the umpire

colnpletion of the unfinished inning.
at least one mono run than the side

in the instance cited. the Cleve-
land team'in six innings made 13
runs, while the Philadelphia club in
seven innings made 11 runs. In this
case Cleveland scored two more runs
than Philadelphia in unchual in-
nings and the score is the total
number of runs each made or 13-11.

FOREST HILLS. N. Y.. Aug. 25.
—«tAl’.) Helen Wills flashed a
racquet of magic power across the
center of the west side stadium yes-
terday. With it she turned back the
challenge of Kathleen lilclx'ane. ace
of British women players. and Won
the national tennis championship
for the third straight year in as
spectacular a title match as has ever
been witnessed.
A Hard Fight.
The 10-year-old American girl did
not retain her laurels without a
struggle. She lost the first set to
the slim British star but came back
after that to sweep her rival aside
with as devasting and crushing an
exhibition of powerful stroking as
any woman player has ever shown.
The final score was 3-6, 6-0. 0-2,
decisive enough in the end. but it
fails to tell the vivid storyof amaz-
lng speed of stroke and courageous
aggressiveness that carried the
young title holder to the greatest
victory of her career, a triumph that
left her supreme as queen of Amer-
ican courts and gave her possession
of the big sliver championship tro-
Dhy outright. '
An hour later she returned to the
court to play a dominant part in
carrying off her second title. in the
doubles final. which she won with
Miss Mary K. Browne by defeating
the veteran team of Miss Elizabeth
Ryan and Mrs. May Sutton Bundy
in an all-California battle. The
scores of this were 6-4, 8.3.
Wins in Doubles.
Miss Wills .thus shares both
crowns of American women's tennis
for the second straight year. She
held the doubles laurels last year
with Mrs. Geofge W. Wightmen, of
Boston. .
Miss Wills not only rose to her
greatest heights yesterday in over-
coming Miss McKane. but in the
glow of her victory cast aside the
mask of reserve that has been one
of her principal characteristics for
a burst of girlish enthusiasm. Toss-

KERR'S cosmetics.
it pays to be a. square shooter.
Pitcher Dick Kerr knows.
In the 1919 world series between
Cincinnati and Chicago Dick Kerr of
the White 80): was the outstanding
here.
After the two stars of the twirling
staff. Cicotte and ' Williams. had
failed. Kerr came through with two.
beautifully pitched games. winning
each start. , .
Kerr's great pitching prolonged
that crooked series. made it a real
battle. The breaks always favored
Kerr. It just seemed that the plat!-
ers mixed up ”in the scandal were
unable to toss away his games.
Later came a. salary grievance
that caused Kerr to jump to outlaw
baseball. That was in 1921. He has
been out ever si'ce.
Largely through the efforts of
Manager Eddie Collins. a. great ad-
mimr of Kerr in the old days. Dick
is back with the Chicago White Sex.
the club he served so valiantly in
1919.
Recently he got .into his first:
game as relief pitcher against De-
troit. As he walked from the bull-
pen to the» pitching box he received
a greeting that. he will always rs-
member.
The crowd oi.‘ 20,000 didn't simply
perhaps five minutes clapped. yelled
and stamped a welcome to Kerr.

"That. ovation made up for a lot
of was that has come my way since
quitting organised base ," said
Kerr after the game. “The public
told me emphatically it is strong for
the fellow who is on the square."

OPPOSITE TYPES.
As the Philadelphia and Washing-
ton- clubs of the American League
come down. the home stretch, it
will be a battle of .two different
types of baseball.
Philadelphia has a batting punch.
although of late there has been a
applaud. it arose to its feet and for -
falling off in the team's hitting.
addition it has a. good defense. ~
Washington has a remarkable d
tense. No team in either moi
league can pull difficult double pla
in a pinch with the uncannine
that characterizes the gay of t
world champs. The cl also has
good oflense. ‘
Thus we have Philadelphia wt
3. great offense and good defen
and Washington with just the opp
site.
Perhaps in the dash down
home stretch these two assets
each club will equalize themselv
and the result will hinge on tl
pitching plus all-round courage.
Unless one or the two clubs n
lapses the race will almost certain
go to the final week if. not day

PENNANT WEAPON. ‘
"Let's pull a play for them."
That is an oft-used expression
the various members of the Was
lngton infield and Catcher “Mudd
Ruel. .
When danger threatens and t ‘4
bases are checked, the Washingt
club :«Llways looks to the double pl
for relief. At such times you c
hear every member of the lnfle
chattering:
“Let's pull a. play for them."
It, is really remarkable The fr V"
quency with which the innelders -
that very thing. Just scan the do
ble plays made by Washington
you read the summary of its gem
and you will realize it.
You must take a chance to p
difficult double. plays. The b
must. be handled fast and each m
must be in his proper place.
there is a slip on the part of son
player .everything looks bad. Ho ‘
ever. Washington makes few slips
