George Sisler of Browns Captures Hitting Championship of American League. Four Turn in Low Aggregate Score of 41 In Qualifying Medal Hound. Practice Brings Out Clever Plays and Among Star Performers Are Steers and Others. i. i. x 1 f Miir yZs-"y "V s.. !. T ALII ' CHICAGO. Sept. 30. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Down cornea the curtain on the major league season tomorrow with George Sisler of the St. Louis Browns batting champion of the American league, Rogers Hornsby of the St. Louis Cards, champion of the National league, and Hornsby also the conqueror of the mighty "Babe" Kuth for the 1922 honors in home run hitting. Sisler, acclaimed the most valu able player in the American league and the slugging Hornsby both will ffnish the season with an average above the coveted .400 mark, as the latest figures show Sisler hitting .417 and Hornsby whaling away to the tune of .400. With the final fames scheduled for tomorrow, these St. -Louis rivals will have an opportunity to better these figures, which include games of Wednes day. HornbyM "Victory Third. This la the third time Hornsby has been crowned king of batters and the second time for Sisler. Hornsby captured the honors In 1920 nnd 1S21. Sister's last appearance on the throne was In 1920 when he -finished with a mark of .407. The honor of batting above the ,iuu niurK iias ueen neia ay only three players in the American league, and two of them are still playing. They are Ty Cobb, Sisler's rival, and Sisler himself. Cobb held the honors in 1911 and 1912 when he headed the procession with marks of .420 and .410, respectively. The only other player to attain this honor was Napoleon Lajoie who, while a member of the Athletics in .1801, batted .405. Cobb's average this year undoubt edly will be the best he ha.i attained tince he hit .410, 10 years ago. He s batting .398 today. Although he led the league six times after that nis average never was above .390. previous to 1911, Cobb led the league for four years, but his best mark during that period was .385. Hetlmann In Fourth Place. Harry Heilmann of the Tigers, Who last season nosed out Cobb for the batting honors, is In the fourth place today, with an average of .357, compared with his .394 last season. Trls Speaker, manager of the In dians, who led in 1916 when he fin ished with a mark of .386, is in third place with an average of .378. In addition to being the champion batter, Sisler is also the King of I ase stealers. He has pilfered 49 bases and his closest rival is Ken Williams, a teammate, who has stolen 34. Williams, who started with a blaze of glory to capture the home run 1 onors, has clouted out 39 four-bag-fcers, with Tillle Walker of the Ath letics the runner-up with 36. Ruth, "who last season bagged 69, is in third place with 35. Other lead'ng batters for 100 or more games: Speaker, Cleveland, .J78; Heilmann, Detroit. .367; Wil liams, 9t. Louis, .332; Ed Miller, Philadelphia, .331; Tobln, St. Louis, .328; Sc.hang, New York, .327; Veach, Detroit, .326; Ppp, New York, .326; Hassler, Detroit, .326. Home Run Hace Exciting. Hornsby, the St. Louis star, with 42 home runs, is the leading home run hitter of the majors after one or tne most exciting races in the history of the game. Ken Williams with the Browns is a close second, with Ruth trailing in fourth place. Hornsby, in addition to his new laurels, is in line to accomplish something among the National league batters which has not been lone in the past 23 years finish the Reason with a mark of .400 or better. The last National league player tt. hit in .400 was Ed Delehanty of Philadelphia, who made the grade in 1899, when he finished the season with a mark of .408. Prior to tnat only five others had become mem ncrs of the .400 club. These were Vill'e Keeler, Adrian "Pop" Anson. Jesse Burkett, Hughey Duffy and Ross Barnes. Hornxby urtH 243 Hit. Hornsby, in acquiring his aver ase, participated in 150 games. He cracked out 243 hits for a total of 438 bases. His hits include 41 dou 1 es. 14 triplets and 42 home runs. There is no danger of Hornsby ring overtaken for the batting honors, as his closest rival is Oscar Ray Grimes of the Cubs who is the runner-up with an average of .354 Max Carey of the Pittsburg Pi rates has the stolen base crown fcnfely tucked away with his 46 thefts, Frisch of New York being his only rival with 30.

WASHINGTON V IS VICTOR Good Defense Work Shown In De feating Idaho Sailors. SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 30. Uni versity of Washington's 1922 foot ball team in its season's debut today administered a 4S-to-0 drubbing to the sailors from the U. S. S. Idaho in a practice game unmarked by thrills from the spectators' stand point. Washington's heavy line, weak on the offensive, showed greater prom ise in the defense, in the opinion of sports writers. The sailors showed lack of practice, and despite a fairly fast backfield were unable to gain through the purple and gold line. Coach Bagshaw sent in prac tically a new Washington team in the third and fourth periods. Wrestling Tourney Planned. ALBAXT, Or., Sept. 30. (Spe cial.)

Possibility of Tie for Title Lnds Much Interest to Last Games of League Series. The final double-header in the Wright & Ditson league will be played this afternoon at the Vaughn street baseball grounds. The Nicolal club will face Arleta in the first game and Fenne's All-Stars will play Fulton in the second contest. The first game will start at 1:30 o'clock. There is much interest in these 1. -- MicuiwiNica - plIERB is an old expression in 1 goir tnat every piayer suomu learn and live up to. The duf fer should practice it tb reduce his score and thj champion should re member it when playing in cham pionships. I remember, when a mere lad in St. Andrews, Scotland, that one of the first Important things a be ginner was told was: "Never up, never in." Every golf player has heard this expression, but to apply it is another thing. Even the experts who are always willing to peddle this maxim fall at times to practice what they preach. It is easy enough to make up one's mind to get up to the hole, but succeeding in doing it is an other matter. If every golfer could remember that in most cases there Is just as much room on the far side of the hole as on the near side, it would help his game Immeasurably. The beginner and the duffer never think of going past the cup. This, they argue, would be adding frightfully to the length of the hole. A few extra yards consumed on the putting green, they figure, would be folly. The reason most players are short is because they attempt to run up their approai.li instead of pitching it. Nine out of ten golfers. In hitting a long second shot to the green, or in playing from the tee on a hole that can be reached in one shot, stop short of the green. They prefer to approach from the near side rather than to play the ball back to the cup. Boldness Won for Sweetwr. . A bold player often holes out his approaches or tee shots when a third golfer finds it difficult to get as far as the hole. Constantly be ing short is aggravating in the ex treme. At the recent amateur champion ship, I am told (I did not have the pleasure of seeing this tournament), Jesse Sweetser won principally through his superior golf in the first place and in playing a bold and fearless game in the second place. Instead of playing the wait ing game, once he was in command of the, match he went out to increase his lead. The only way he- could do this was to play the approach and the putt up to the cup each time. This wins holes instead of halving them. Bobby Jones. I understand, erred In this respect and he could ill af ford to play short on any hole when he had an opponent to overtake who was playing just the reverse golf. Jones most likely had one of those days when it was impossible to judge distances accurately and, to be on the safe side, was short rather than over. This style of play never enables one to trab off birdies and eagles. final two games. There la a pos sibility of a tie for the title, which would mean a post-season game. The contenders are Xicolai, at pres ent leading the circuit, and Fenne's All-Stars, who are second. A vic tory for Fenne's club over Fulton this afternoon and a loss by Nicolai would tie them with four games won and two lost apiece. Xicolai went undefeated until last Sunday, when Fenne's All-Stars de feated them, 4 to 0, thanks to Lefty Schroeders' great pitching. Arleta came through with a victory over Fulton. Although Arleta has won only one game and lost four in the Wright & Ditson league, all its de feats were by a narrow margin. The league leaders put them out but 3 to 2 in the last tussle between the clubs. The Arleta team that faces Nicolal this afternoon will be 100 per cent stronger than the Arleta team of a few weeks ago. Manager Brooks OFSRinsD'opiii' 4ff Soft play very often takes one a stroke over par. In the finals, I am told. Chick Evans was not as bold as be usually is. In many cases, from the news paper reports, Kvans was short on his putts when trying to overtake Sweetser in the afternoon. One of the boldest players I know is Walter Hagen. He makes his mistakes on going over the hole. Walter never is satisfied with a shot that does not travel up to the pin at least, and he cares little how far past it runs so long as it is on the other side. When a player gets this idea in his head his golf will Improve rapidly. I think I wrote once before that the best way to learn to get up to the hole is to keep tab on your ap proaches. For instance, if a player will go out for a round and take with him a little book to record each hole played and the number of approaches and putts he will find it interesting to read and study after the match. He will most like ly receive a great shock when he finds that he is short nine-tenths of the time. This goes for all shots with the iron, the long Becond shot to the green, the approach and the putt. Pitch Most Be learned. It is not easy to learn to play hole high if one is a timid player. Fear of running over the green spoils many beginners who never quite get over being green-shy. Too many duffers play to reach the green instead of playing to reach the pin. The professionals, it has always been said, play for the eup each time, thereby saving them selves a stroke or two on the green. The reason most golfers are short is because they run the ball up in stead of learning to pitch the tall up. I say "learning" because the pitch hot must be learned. Other wise the player would make a sorry mess of it. Half the pitches would fall short in traps or just reach the edge of the green. To pitch to the green one must be bold Indeed. To play so that one can always be sure of getting at least hole high, it is well to begin in practice to play for the top of the flag pin instead of the cup. I have always maintained that the pitch shot is easier than the run up and I will say that the easiest shot in golf is one that looks the hardest to the layman. Take for instance the 60-yard pitch over a trap or a water hazard. By the skillful player (or by the average player who can handle a mashle niblick) this shot should seldom be missed. The harder the shot looks, the more success one should have be cause one is more likely to keep his head down in a case like this than he is when playing the same shot with nothing in front but a stretch of fairway where no trouble is to be found. ICopyrlsat, 1922. by Bell Syndicate, Inc.) has bolstered his team In every de partment. Figuring the tough game that Arleta' gave Nicolai in their last meeting, they have an excellent chance of winning today. To do this," however, Arleta must solve Lefty Schwartz, the sterling Nicolai twirler. Schroeder will work in the box for Fenne against Fulton this after noon.

Sept 80 Gridiron practice has started at the three Utah colleges in the Rocky mountain conference, the University of Utah at Salt Lake City, the Utah Agricultural college at Logan and Brigham Young university at Provo The Aggies, winner of the confer ence title last year, face the 1922 season minus many of their best players. Percy Hanson, Louis Falck. Chick Hart and Andy Caffey are lost to the Aggie machine through grad uation and other causes. The uni versity of Utah also must get along without the services of such stars as Mac Swan, Warren Gilmer. Mc Kinley Oswald and possibly Floyd Romney. Brigham .Young university, the Mormon . church college, is "in the conference for the first time. Here, tofore church authorities refused to sanction the playing of American football by school athletes, claiming the game was too rough. Captain Payne of the B. Y. U. team, however, has been working his men hard and hopes to put a strong team in the field. At Logan the chief subject of dis cussion is a successor to Louis Falck, who has been the main offensive strength of the Aggie machine for several seasons. Dolalianty Holds Record.

Mrs. W. A. Gavin, English Star, Beaten Five Up and Four to Play in Final of Match. WHITE STJLPHUR SPRINGS, Vs., Sept. 30. Mi,s Glenna Collette of Providence, R. I., became the new women's golf champion of the United States today by defeating Mrs. W. A. Gavin, the English star, five up and four to play. In the final of the match of the national championship tournament. Outplaying her rival almost con tinuously, driving: longer and truer balls and taking; advantage of every opportunity, the Rhode Island girl demonstrated ' again that youth must be served. She was the hope of an American championship for America and she made good. The game was good at all points and both played out the match to the finish and on only one hole was the result conceded. After driving twice into the lake on the 16th, Mrs. Gavin picked up her ball. Miss Collette played more eteadlly, moved with more ease, fought with less show of "nerves" after the firs few holes than did her rival. Bril liant recoveries from miserable traps and bunkers, stronger In the pinches, the young member of the Metacomet club was mistress of the fairways and the greens, and early obtained a lead most discouraging to the Englishwoman, although the latter never quit until the last putt was down on the 32d hole. It was the third time that Mrs. Gavin had battled her way into the finals of the American national tournament, only to lose the title. She contested closely for the crown which Mrs. C. H. Vandcrbeck, Phil adelphia, won. She was runner-up to Mis Alexa Stirling, the Atlanta star, in 1912, but fell short In that match also. But Mrs. Gavin can go back to her home on the edge of the Huntereombe club links with the Canadian championship safely tucked away for another year, for she played superior golf in that engagement. On virtually every hole Miss Col lette outdrove her opponent. Her tee shots traveled well over 200 yards consistently and straight down the fairway. They were from 20 to 40 yards longer on the average than those of her rival. SCHOOL SOCCER TO BEGIN Leagues A and B Formed With Six Teams In Each.

Line plunges seemed to be the main method of playing. During the last quarter there were no touchdowns. IS. MALUM WINS CUP MISS BROWNE IS DEFEATED IN FINAL ROUND.
