Wichita Girls UNSTEADINESS IN FIRST 2 INNINGS HARDON EAGLES Girls Leading 12 to 1 Be "i forte Local Team Was J Able to Pull Itself To ; gether and Play Ball- : The 8. K. 8. L. Wichita Olrls base ball team took an easy victory from the La Grande Eagles nt the High school field yestorday afternoon. IS to- 9; largely because the unsteadi ness of the Eagles In the first few Innings spotted the visitors to an 11 run lead. 'With the scoro 12 to 1, the Eaglos settled down and played a better brand of ball, scoring eight runs to three for the girls In the last few In nings. Evans and Kelson furnished much of the fireworks with their bats, with several of their team mates aiding and abottlng these two la accounting for runs. Errors were plentiful on the part of the Eagles, although the girls wcro not playing faultless ball. As a mat ter of fact, of the five feminine play ers, only ono Corene Jaax, at first base played ball comparable with ordinarily good men players. The others, although able to throw well and occasionally got a hit, wore woak on . fielding. Olrls were stationed at first, second, third, left field and right field. Two men did tho pitching for them, both being of the flashy, heady type, although they were hit rather freely at times. The starting pitch er for the Wichita outfit, however, was plonty capable a good receiver, fair batter and with a peg to second that cut down the stealing to a min imum. -The girls, on a few hits, a few walks and several errors by the Eagles, scored four In the first four Innings, adding four more runs before the Eagles began to break the spell. Then h& Qrando counted one run to begin the gamo when Kail laced out a two bagger and came In on Evans hit, but that waa all for Beveral frames. . Courtney, La Grande's starting pitcher, was wild and the catcher, Nichols, was having an off day both behind the plate and at bat. Lewis went In later In the game, relieving Courtney, and held tho visitors down In good shape. A fair-sized crowd witnessed tho game, which started shortly after 4 p. m and did not end until the sun dropped behind the hills to the west, Price of Eggs Advances 1 One Cent Effective 4f- PORTLAND LIVESTOCK r p PORTLAND.

July 38 VP) The launching honors were all even today between two of the country's better young heavyweight, Steve Hammi of New York, the former Penn State all around star, and, Lee Ramago of Ban Diego, not long out. of high school. ; Hamaa squared, matters last night In 10 exciting rounds by battering Ramage all over the ring at Wrlgley field,-before a crowd of Olympic no tables, scoring two clean knockdowns and gaining the decision of Lieuten ant Jack Kenned, the referee, by a w4de margin, Ramage won their pre v lous bout on points hero last win ter: .- Tho bell saved Ramage . from a knockout In the third round after lie; had twice been slugged to the floor by Steve's terrific lefts. The California boy took a count of eight, staggered to his feet and went down In a heap In his own corner from another barrage. He was reclining helpless when the belt sounded at a count of three. ' Ramage came back In the fourth to weather another storm of leather saVftamely that he had Hamas arm weary and- baffled. The Penn State hslugger was so tired that' he took a severe - counter punching - for two rounds before bgaln taking command. Ramage was punched groggy again at the close of the sixth and eighth rounds but he had enough left to slug head to head through the tenth and last round. They tlirew punches by tho carload up to the last bell. Hamas was the aggressor but fre quently wild and a mark for his op ponent's left. He won seven rounds and Ramage three, the first, fourth and fifth. Hamas had an edge In the weights, at 188.

Charley won his second Georgia of Bobby Jones, may not have a bud- crown recently In a breeze, shooting ding successor to RoborfcTyre In the last 00 holes of match play In young Charley Yates. 1 I even par. Again he advnnced to the Excepting only the rotlred emperor semi-finals of the Southern, losing or tne unxs. tne m-year-oid Yates is In a class by himself among Geor gia players. He's won the state crown for two years. Thus far . his golf career has al most paralleled Jones'. Both grew up across. the fairway from the East Lake club house and were turned loose on the course as soon as they were able to toddle about. Charley received his first clubs when he was four and he's been playing ever since. Like Bobby, he learned to play by Imitating -the better club players. Neither had lessons until he could play fairly well through his own efforts. IS lower Than Hobby Yates' game did not mature as rapidly as Bobby's, for Jones was Georgia champion at 14 and South ern at 16. Until last summer Yates was Just another of the kids who turned In hot rounds occasionally. Then, at 17, he stepped out to win the Southern Interscholastlc, the Georgia and the Atlanta champion ships In the same slimmer his first In competition, which also Baw him Yanks Unlikely To Stay At Top More Than Year By Onyle Talbot (Associated Pre&s Sports Writer) Even If they coast on through to the American league title, It is doubt ful the Yankees will stay up there longer than one term. The Ruppert Rilles are not the same type of club they were back in tho Halcyon days of Waite Hoyt, the "schoolboy wonder," and the old "murderers row." True, many of that famous crowd are still around, and they aro do ing yeoman work In the Yanks' cur rent drive. But they no longer make up a team that Is young and full of SMiSWSmllMllSSM ?ia cigarette., it hits the markfj ust made for rolling The kind of tobacco that rolls right, lays right on the paper, and tastes right.

Loses Nervousness A year ago Charley's game was marked by nervous tension, which now Is entirely missing. He's a much better competitor, more philo sophical and more willing to accept tho breaks. He's always had cour age, but until this year his nerves rodo him. Now he's cool under fire. Yatca is a tousled -headed young ster, husky. aSout six feet tall and weighing around 160. Still a kid, he has all the eagerness and fire of youth. For several months he has been under the wing of George Sur gent, professional here. . Sargent says In two years Yates should be one of the most formidable amnteurs in America. "He's Im mensely better In every way than a years ago," said Bobby Jones. "Ho shows amazing power and range with wood clubs, and a bit of finish ing, to add control to the longer rango variety will make him one of tho biggest hitters we have." Yates ' Is' pointing now for the natlonnl amateur later this summer. fire and Just reaching itu peak Fellows like Ruth. Combs, Lazzerl and little Joe Bcwell cannot be ex pected to star much longor, and Man ager Joo McCarthy probably will have to do plenty of revamping next season. He will have plenty to build from, a fine nucleus in Gomez, Al len, Dickey, Gehrig, Croscttl, Chap mon and the rest, but history proves It takes more., than one year to build a championship club. With the Philadelphia Athletics getting no better fast, the Cleveland Indians, a young, courageous outflV that Just are realizing their strength look like the best bet at the moment, with Detroit a possibility. In the National league, where the Pittsburgh Pirates . threaten to run away from the field, thero is an en tirely different situation. If George Gibson does drive his youngsters un der the wire first, there is no good 15 to 9 reason why they should not stay up there a couple more years. With the exception of Pie Traynor at third base and the Waner boys In the outfield, the Pirate lineup fairly sparkles with youth. One of the veterans of the Ath Ictlcr championship machine. George (Mule) Haas, came back to grasp the headlines In tho only game plnyed yesterday In either league. His home run In the last of the ninth off Lefty Gomez with one on gave the Athletics an 8 to 7 victory over tho Yankees j It was Gomez's misfortune to lose his fifth game of the year by pitching to only two batters.

And yet, getting out of a trap need not be the difficult mutter that many players make it. If you consider the "explosion" shot as Just one more part of the game, you can overcome your fear of It quite readily. Practice this shot Just as thoroughly as you do your drive. Take a number of balls into the sand place them at every possible angle bury them step on them and practice getting them out with your niblick until you have mastered this stroke. The bunkers and sand traps make golf the fascinating, Interesting, gamo It in, and no matter how good or bad his game. may be, I doubt If any golfer has ever enjoyed play ing on an easy, simple, course.

Jack Sharkey, for the heavy weight tlUe, had taken one short, faltering step today In that direc tion. By belting out a 15-round decision over tho aging Basque, Paulino Uzcu dun, in Madison Square Garden's big bowl last night, tho Boston blond survived the first round of the gar den's heralded elimination totirna ment. But is was a subject of debate with the crowd of 6.000 whether Schaaf had proved anything except, possibly, that he is not a worse fighter than. Paulino. The audlenco voted, infor mally, to eliminate both of them. .. Schaaf weighed 210, Paulino 198.
