fight minutes without a fall.

coast less than a year and In that
time has met a lot of men, Includ
ing Spellraan; Dr. Garpoils, Wykoff.
Dr. Welrser, Charley Hanson, Pete
Slckooff and Young Zbyako, and he
beat all of them except a bout that
he lost to Thdr Jensen In Salem.
He beat Jensen the following week.

about 10 years ago, Thye taking the
first fall and Steele the next. two.

superior comfort or stacks five or
ten years ago. when the old fash

a class by themselves, wearing long
breeches. Plus-fours then were the
only sensible and comfortable gar
ments, except when your legs were
funny. .......

Hagen,- in ' their annual dressing
competitions for the thousand dol

ing schemes of matched hose and

- At the 6cloto country club. Sir
Walter and Johnny, on the Ryder

covery" that slacks were so much
more comfortable. ' Most of the

for comfort, stuck to the old nius-
fours. Most of the other Americans
aid, also. But watch what the tired

THE NAUTICAL IDEA
Not so many years atro. some nn-
heaval of masculine . fashion got
sailor pants adopted, with nothing
else of a seafaring kit-one of the
most grewsome styles that ever
gave a narrow-shouldered counter
jumper and upside-down effect. It
was worse, if possible, than the
peg-tops of the Gay Nineties, with
tne padded shoulders now coming
oaca again probably because thev
are so much cooler than plain ones.
iium-noi I saw a "Noble Experi
ment" in or rather on the Derson
of Rex Hartley, English collegiate of
uut, wno mane a gallant but un
successful effort at the British am
ateur championship at Muirfield to
Introduce "Oxford bags" as a golf
ing costume pants just a yard
arouna at tne bottom of each leg.
What the special recommendation
was for this divided skirt I do not
remember. But it was a little too
"awful". It never got much farther
than Mr. Hartley. 1
Slacks, now are not so bad. but
they certainly are not more sen
sible golfing apparel, especially
when the wind blows.
Naming reasons for the
of foreign countries, he says, "First
ly, they succeed because they have
many first-class, well-paid Coaches,
wiiiie we nave naraiy any; secondly,
because the foreigner Is more
thoughtful and more Daliutaklnr in
his preparation than is the average
Englishman, who docs not love to
try to produce his best every time he
turns out to train.
This characteristic of British
athletes Is partly the outcome of
despair.
"rhey are not taucrhr. hnm tn
jump, uirow or nurdie, and are
given no schedules to run to, where
fore they try to make ud hv sheer

By HERBERT W. BARKER
(Associated Press Sport Writer)
Those sighs of contentment you
hear from St. Louis and Philadel
phia probably are emitted by Gab
by Street and Connie Mack, mon
agcrial rivals of the 1830 world ser
ies. You needn't bet on It unless you
feel so Inclined but It looks sus
piciously as though Street's Cardin
als and Mack's Athletics, aialn will
square off In the October classic.
For the cardinals now lead the Na
tional league parade by six games
while . the Athletics have a seven
game margin over their nearest
Amertcal league rival. .
Most of Monday's action was con
centrated. In the American league,
the A s setting the Dace for the rest
wren a iz-f triumph over the Chi
cago White Sox for their seventh
victory in a row.
Hank McDnoald started off for
tne champions but decided tn rn
w a day after the first Inning when
the Sox scored six runs. Roy Ma
rt aney came in and held Donle
miens crew to four hits and one
run for the last eight Innings while
the As slugged four Chtcaxo Ditch
ers for 18 hits -to tie the score In
the second inning and win out
easily In the later Innings. The
White Sox were soundly beaten
out tney had the satisfaction of
engineering a strlple steal In the
opening frame while McDonald was
winding up. much to young Hank's
embarrassment. Jlmmv Foxx hit
his 18th homer for the As.
The Washington Senators kept
step wim me cnampions by beat
ing the Detroit Tigers, 7-3, for their
flftli straight win.
The New York Yankees made it
three In a row over -the St. Louis
Browns, winning 8-5.
Clint Brown held the Boston Red
Sox to four hits, twp in the first
Inning, as the Cleveland Indians
smashed out 14 hits to win 9-2.

game of the day.
Willamina Local
: Teams Win Games
Willamina Local teams took both
baseball games of the double bill
here Sunday afternoon. An unusual
ly large crowd of fans was present
The first game was a contest be
tween Uie Willamina and Sheridan
business men. Willamina took the
lead in the second inning, when two
runs were made and Sheridan still
held a goose egg. In the third, five
more runs were added by the locals,
with the visitors' score sheet still
blank. Then suddenly in the fourth
frame the Sheridan merchants
seemed to wake up, annexing a home
run, and three other scores. There
the final score rested, Willamina 7,
Sheridan 4.
The main game of the afternoon
was between Grand Island and Wil
lamina town teams, the score being
10 to 8 In favor of Willamina. At a
previous game played here this sea
son, the local team lost to Grand
Island.
