~ Malleable 50, Pirates 14. P Malleable Smother Pirates 50-14 and Tie Up League In one of the, worst drubbings that has ever been handed a softball team in the annals of the game, the Ontario Malleable Iron defeated Yhe Pirates 50 to 14, in one of the semi-final games of the Oshawa Ladies Softball I.cague The contest was played Saturday af- ternoon on the Collegiate ' Institute grounds. The fiasco was witnessed by a gathering of about 300 fans, By virtue of their win the Ontario Malleables will now meet the Pirates in the deciding game for the League championship. Had the Pirates won Saturday's fixture it would have meant that they had won the title for an- other season. They have already won the cup for several years. Saturday's defeat at the hands of the slugging Malleables means a lot to the future of the Ladies League according to crit- ics. It has heen assumed that the Pi- rates could not he heaten, While the first inning appeared 1 be a rather fast one, the Malleal! started right in and gathered in thr runs to the Pirates' one, It was ev! dence enough that the Malleables meant business and from then on there was not one dead moment to the game. The fans took the slaughter with areat ¢njoyment and they cheered very \lalleable run that was scored. 'I'he ili and seventh innings alone v ould have heen plent: for the Malleables rarnered in 31 runs in those two frames, Home runs, three haggers and doubles were plentiful as were er- rs and dumb ® on the part of the Pirate players, However, too little must not be said of the courage with vhich the Pirate players faced the bar- rage. They tried their best, but it was a a Mallcable day and the blue nd white were a determined nine. ra Copeland of the Malleables, in the rst place, upset the dope as far as the Pirates were concerncd, The latter firmly believed that Miss Cope- land would be missing from ihe line- up owing to the death of her uncle, Tiowever she turnc out and pitched her coolest game of the sea- ten. The Pirates used several pitch- ers in their effort, to stem the tide, Tout it was useless.

The newspaper story, while quet- ing Dempsey as asserting he was beaten "fairly and squarely" in the battle of the Sesquicentennial, asks Tv aey to reveal "all anglas invel- ved in hat suit which Max 'Boo Boo Hoff, of Philadelphia, fired at you," and explain "why a lot of gamblers .amade a huge betting plunge on vou to win that fight after you and and Hoff and Billy Gibson, your manager, had one of those confer- ence things." Tunney's Reply Tunney refused to he drawn into a newspaper controversy on the points raised hy Dempsey's letter, His only comment was contained in this statement, which he telegraph- ed to the ex-champion: "Md Dear Dempsey: "Your open letter to me has heen brought to my attention, My reac- tion is to. ignore it and its evident trash completely, However, 1 can- uot resist saying that I consiGger it a cheap appeal for public smypathy. Do you think this Is sportsman- like?" Reciting receipt by Dempsey of al "tip" on the eye of the Philadelphia | fight that there was "comething phoney" about it, and that he was told 'some sort of a deal had been made whereby somehody was going to steal my title," Dempsey's open letter asks why Gihson entered into an alleged agreement with Hoff to horrow $20,000 on the undevstand- ing that this amount alone would be repaid, if Tunney lost, but that if Tunney won "Gibson would pay back to Hoff the $20,000, and as a sort of bonus, you (Tunney) were to give Hoff 20 per cent. of all your earn- ings as champion. n CINCINNATI AND GIANTS SPLIT EVEN BOSTON BEATS CUBS New York, Sept, 19.--Cincinnati and New York divided a double-header at Cincinnati yesterday, 7 to 0 and 4 to 2 In the first game, Lucas put a tem- porary stop to the pennant aspirations of the Giants, holding them to three hits when the Reds made merry with three Giant pitchers.

LOSS TO WORLD'S HAPPINESS (Los Angeles Examiner) Marcus Loew's death is a loss to the world's happiness. His friends must find comfort in remembering that he gave pleasure to millions, Replacing thousands of liquor saloons with hundreds of. cheerful theatres he provided relaxation, pleasant, instruefive amusement, He was as simple. sincere, unpre- tentious is prosperity as he had heen in years of hard poverty. H's able 'associates will carry on his work, Marcus Loew himself, always cheezful a real friend, more wov- ried about the welfare of others than about his own, cannot be replaced. What Samuel Johnson said of the death of Garrick may truly be said of Marcus Loew: "His death eclipsed the gayety of nations, and impoverished the pub- and Summa, who had been hit by a lic stock of harmless nleasure." LACOSTE SWEEPS TO STRAIGHT SET WIN OVER "BILL" TILDEN Forest Hills, N.Y., Sept. 19.-- Rene Lacoste, an iron-merved son of France, with springs in his toes and the accuracy of a rifle in his rac- quet, swept to a decigive straight-set victory over "Big Bill" Tilden Sat- urday to win the tennis champion- ship of the United States for the sec- ond time in as many years. The score was 11-9, 6-3, 11-9, Coming lose upon the Freneh sweep oi the avis Cup, the vietory drove home the claim of France to individual as well as team supremacy over all the world. It was a valiant battle, this last brave stand of one who ruled un- challenged until the coming of the Frenchmen, a year ago. It thriiled 13,000 tennis fans who packed the West Side Stadium and held their breath through the long deep-court exchanges with which the French- man wore Tilden down in a desper- ately-fought third set, From the start Tilden was lacking in steadiness, while Lacoste was ac- curacy personified.
