In tha great nuijorlty of cases,

In the middle wont, Illinois will be
the only Ii!g Ten eleven which will not

Match to Decide
'Golf Supremacy
Tilts Between Hagen and Sar
azen Will Be Closely Fol
lowed by Golfdom.
New York, Sept. 30. (Special Tele
gram.) The two 36-hole matches
scheduled to take place between Wal
ter Hagen, British open champion,
and Gene Sarazen, national title
holder, ahould settle for all time the
question as to which of these two
fighters la the greatest golfer of the
age. Tho first 36 holes of this event
will be played at the Oakmont Coun
try club at Pittsburgh on Friday, Oc
tober C, with tho second match sched
uled for the Westchester-Blltmnnt
Country club at Rye, N. Y., on Oc
tober 7, the next day.
At Oakmont Sarazen undoubtedly
will have a slight advantage as a re
sult of his victory in the recent Pro
fessional Golfers' association cham
pionship tournament held there, but
at Rye the tables will be slightly
turned, as there ara few blades of
grass on the Westchester course that
Hagen la not familiar with.
The match will be for $2,000.

Ten Victories in World Series
Washington and St. Louis
Cluhs Have Never Copped
Pennant in Younger
Loop.
New York, Sept. 27. Since 1305,
when tho former National Easeball
commission was created, a postseason
scries has been held between the
teams which won the championships
of their respective leagues, resulting
in 10 victories for the American and
seven for tho National.
Whether this world's series suprem
acy denoted a better brand of baseball
playing in tho younger league has
been debated every winter in the Old
iitove league with facts dug from the
record books to prove and disprove
tlio same assertions.
As fantastic as it appears in print
the Boston Red Sox, rivals of all Who
are despondent, hold palm for world's
scries honors, being the only club
that has won the highest prize In
baseball four times and one of the
three in the annals of the classic that
have won it two times in succession.
Athletics Won Three Titles.
And inoro fantastic, so it seems to
the fans of "Sleepy Town," the Phila
delphia Athletics, cellar champions
for seven years, are the Roston Ameri
cans' loudest disputant, having won,
back In the days of "The Million Dob
tar Infield," three world's series, two
of them in succession.
I The other American league club to
j humble the National league chumps
j twice without intermission are the
j Chicago White Sox, now a glided
I memory of the "susplrlonless" days,
i Cleveland, with Trls Speaker spruk-
ii'g, is the only other club of the

Smith outlived his usefulness us a

far from being all through as a in

Sherry Is now In a different league

will do him a lot of good. It should

Mutuel Ticket
Cause of Suit
Judge Orders Jockey Club to
Pay Kentucky Bettor Who
Tore Up "Ducat.'
When an error la made in officially
pontine; tho winner of a horse race and
a bettor tears up his ticket on that
animal before tho error is rectified, he
is entitled to receive the amount his
pasteboard called for, even though the
pieces hnd been assembled and cash
ed by another.
This was a ruling of Judge Thomas
R. Gordon, deciding that such a mis-
take was negligence on the part of
j the Kentucky Jockey club, which was
on file in circuit court. R. E. Render-
son, the bettor, was awarded Judg
I mont for $172.50, which represented
Ihe amount of $10 straight ticket on
Ring Rose paid in a race at Churchill
Downs In the meeting last autumn.
A neither horse was posted first and
Henderson tore up his ticket.
When Ring Rose was posted aa
the winner, he was unable to find the
pieces, but Immediately filed a claim
with the Jockey club. Judge Gordon
held this put the officials on their
guard and the mutilated ticket should
not have been cashed when presented
by another.

Big Financial Difference Be
I ween Longer and Shorter
World's ClaMc, Says
Sanborn.
ll I. K. SWIlOltV
Jnut What the dlltVniuu between a
nine came world serin mid una of
null games lueiinx to Ihe lull players
who t.iKe part In It cannot be i-Mimal
ed to the fraction of a dollar because
there Is no actual hnMs for compari
son, but It Is ii rounMcriihlft mini.
A nine KaniH sei Ich doi a not no an
one consisting of nine r, inn , m-ceo
saiily but that It Is necexH.iiy for one
team to win live g.nnes in order lo
iiuiiex the world's championship. In
the old days of seven game st iles Up
built W is played onlv nin e because It
required only four victories by one of
the contenders to terminate the affair.
The big flnaneliil difference between
the longer and the shorler world's
srles Is caused by the fact that the
players share in the receipts of only
the number of games required to win
Ihe liltf pennant. That means they
partake, of tho benefits of only four
games in a seven game contest Instead
of live under the nine game regime.
It means a considerable dliTerenio t
the club owners, too, but tho fans are
not Interested In what tho promoters
get, only In the emoluments accruing
to their heroes among Ihe athletea.
Cloudy It IH Si lies.
The last world's series of the seven
game variety played under normal
conditions was that of 1917 between
the White Sox und the Giants. The
affair between tho Cubs and Red Sox
in i'MH was conducted under a cloud
on account of the War department's
order to curtail the season of a "non
essential pastime." Conseeiuently the
attendance nnd receipts were subnor
mal. The 1919, 1920 and 1921 world's
series were of the nine game species.
Still another difficulty In the way of
comparison exists In the fact condi
tions governing the distribution of the
coin have been changed since 1917.
In that year the players' pool, al
though restricted to a percentage of
the receipts of the first four games,
was divided wholly among the players
of tho two competing teams. The fol
lowing year, 1918, the new deal was
put In force whereby tho players of
the teams finishing second and third
In each major league were cut in on
the players' pool to a certain extent.
That change produced the almost for
gotten strike of Red Sox and Cubs
In Boston which added to the discolor
ation of the eye already blackened by
the War department.
The conditions whereby the first
three teams In each league will i-hare
In the world's series e:oin will exist
this year. Allowing for this change
It Is possible to produce a vague Idea
of hnt that extra game includwl in
the players' pool amounted to by cone'
paring some of tho figures of 1917 and
1921.
Comparison of Pools.
The total, attendance In 1917 was
JS5.691. Last fall it was 269,97. It
required eight games for the Giants
to lick the Yankees In 1921 nnd only
six for the White Sox to trim the
Giants in 1917. That accounts for
some of the big difference in attend
ance and receipts. The coin taken in
at the 1917 series totaled $425,878 and
that was more than doubled last fall
when the gross receipts amounted to
$900,233. The fact the latter series was
two games longer than the former
does not account for all that differ
ence, but the prices were a lot higher
in 1921 than four years ngo.
The players' pool in 1917 amounted
to $152, 8SS and last year it was $292.
522, or nearly twice as much, although
it Included a percentage of only one
moro game than in 1917. Tho White
Sox's aggregate share of their series
with the Giants amounted to $91,733,
or a little more than $3,500 for each
of the world's champions of thnt fall.
The Giants' share of their cemtest
with the Yankees last year amounted
to $131,645 nnd their individual shares
were over $5,000.
