MOODY PITCHED TEAM TO HONORS Polarines Master Hoskins in Championship Series With Ease. In the vernacular of the common herd, Polarines laid over the Hoskins City League team like a tent Saturday afternoon at Wearn Field and easily copped the championship of the City League by a 10-to-nothing score. Moody was the big cheese of the con test, proving master of the situation on the Polarines' mound. Twelve of the enemy struck at the empty air in efforts to connect with his pills, and he let the defeated contestants down with four scattered and extremely feeble singles. Not once did Hoskins threaten to score. Not a man reach ed third base. The team found itsalf completely at the mercy of Moody, who went through the fray like a twin six hitting on all cylinders. HILTON HIT HARD. Hilton fared bad in his battle for the Hoskins outlay. In the five innings he twirled the Polarines totalled seven terrific clouts which accounted for the same number of tallies. His support was .pitiful, his comrades disgracing themselves with a record of 11 errors. Guthrie relieved him in the first of the sixth, and continued the chaos by walk ing the first man up, hitting the third and walking the fourth. A hot liner through center by Davis brought in two of them, and C. B. Long's clout p IC. A A A V-S L ill. I. VJ Ultll IV LX-"-' (t. I. ! W Ml. of his weak points from that time on. He crave un neither a hit nor run dur- ing the remainder of the game, and struck out two men. The slugging of the Hoskins crew lacked interest. It was the same old story throughout. One man would ba thrown out and the next struck out. The fielding was even worse. In the sixth inning the horsehide seemed greased. McCall alone made three er- rors in this frame. He was absolutely powerless- to hold on to Guthrie's fast l to Guthrie's fast balls, and when one of them finally v..- , j i j uuiiiicui.t;ci v ii.li ins iiectu lie uiaue a. ucu line for center field, where he rubbed his cranium until" the contest termi nated. J. F. Campbell relieved him. POLARINES START EARLY. A triple by Heath in the first frame started the ball rolling for the Po larines. This "was followed by a single and double by Cox and Muse, respec tively, Cox and Heath scoring. A trip e by Muse in the third proved a pre lude to a couple of additional tallies, which were the result of F. C. Long's single, McCall's error and a poor catch by Davis. The six runs in the sixth round were the result of utter chao3. A combination of errors, walked men, hit batsmen and mighty clouts did the trick. And thus endeth the 1921 season of the City League teams. The Saturday contest marked the elimination of a tie between the two champion outlays, and the winning of the pennant ry j Polarines. Splendid fielding and slugging of the j Polarines featured the game. Especia! , ly worthy of applause was a spectacular in the first frame. What seemed an impossible catch was nabbed by him in deep center with one hand.

Copyright, 1921, by News Publinhiag Co, New York, Sept. 10. Indications are already apparent that interest in football this season will be greater and more widely distributed than ever be fore in the history of the sport. Th'i Eastern and Far-Western teams, al ready in the throes of preliminary practice, are being watched closely an l the exciting games played in the Middle-West conference last-season, sev eral of which were decided in the last minute of play, have made everybody keen for the beginning of the season :n that territory. The conference ruling preventing the aslembly of teams "03 fore mid-September is a considerable hardship for those aggregations which meet Eastern teams in the early sea son, j It is' to be expected that the Eastern ; stadiums should be tilled to overflow ing with spectators, but the dissem ination of the sport through other sec tions is most interesting to a student of the game. Not only is there intense interest in the Middle-West and on tho Pacific Coast, but the South has grown fond of the gridiron game and the crowds in attendance at match es there soon will demand better ac commodations and more of them. Foot ball has progressed South of the Ma son and Dixon line until even the Florida Everglades have been penetra ted. FEW REALIZE PROGRESS. Few realize also the progress whnh the sport has made in the Missouri Valley, where the conference cham-' pionship was won last year by the University of Oklahoma. The South-; western Intercollegiate Athletic Asso-' elation also has made its mark in football. Last year 20,000 enthusiasts : gathered for the Thanksgiving Day game which was won by the University of Texas. Think of it! Only a few j years ago this would have been a tig crowd even for a Yale-Harvard game. There was good football played in West Texas, New Mexico and Arizona with the University of Arizona as one of the most outstanding teams of the section. In the Rocky Mountain region, the 1920 football season was an unbound- j ed success, with the attendance at ill games far in excess of any previous year since the conference was estab lished. Two former Eastern stars made their appearance in that section as coaches last year and will continu-i there this season. Tby were Fred Murphy, the old Yale halfback, who is coaching the University of Denvi.r, and Joe Witham, the Dartmouth star, who has charge of the University f Colorado team. .The decisive .game of the Rocky Mountain season was be tween the Colorado Aggies and Den ver on Thanksgiving Day when a rec ord crowd saw the Aggies win, 14 to 0. 30,000 IX ATTENDANCE. Never has football been so well sud ported on the Pacific Coast as last year and when the University of Wash ington dedicated its own stadium in a game with Dartmouth there were 30,000 people in attendance. Alabama in reported to be making rapid strides with the teams getting splendid back ing. Kentucky, thanks to the remark able team at Centre, has also started up great interest which has spread to Tennessee. The Kansas conference has a fine line of teams and players, as have Arkansas, Utah, Montana and many other sections of the West. The 1921 season will be formally in augurated on September 17 at Crono, Maine, when the University of Maine plays Fort McKinley. From that time until the Army and Navy game in New York on November 26, interest will be unabated and there are also some intersectional games scheduled af ter that date. Southern California will play Washington State on December 3 and Oregon will play two games at Honolulu on the day after Christm1 and New Year's. By Saturday, October 1, there will be 135 fairly important gapies on the weekly schedule. CAROLINA FOOTBALL CANDIDATES AT WORK Chapel HuV Sept. 10. The Univer sity football squad finished its first week of practice today with thirty-five candidates on the field. It is light work they are doing thus far a warming-up program. Twice a day, early In the morning and late in the afternoon; they appear on Emerson Field, each one rigged out in clothing that leaves arms and legs bare and, in fact, looks much more like a bathing suit than a football uni form. The heat has been blistering, and the regulation canvas breeches and wool jerseys will not be donned for a week or so yet. The drill opens with setting-up ex ercises. Then there is punting, tow ard passing and general handling of the ball, interspersed with instructions from the coaches. Bill and Bob Fetzer. The session ends with a brisk run by the eritire squad. The Wake Forest game, the first of the season, will be played at Chapel Hill Saturday, October 1. SOUTH ATLANTIC LEAGUE. CLUB STANDINGS Won jOst Pt Columbia . . Charleston .... Greenville . .

BILLY BINGLES' SPORT JINGLES By BILLY BINGLE Copyright, 1921, by News Publishing: Co. New York, Sept. 10. The ornamen tal pinch hitter has no place in base ball. If a few of the artificial adorn ments of the game were abolished, the sport would-be the better for it. When a manager is quoted as say ing he does not know enough about his hitters , to know which is the great pinch hitter, it is time to dispense with the pinch hitter. Oihson. of Pittsburg. says Babe Adams has a fadeway which is as good as that of Mathewson. Gibson is a Solomon come to judgment, but he is making a mighty pow'ful' as sertion. ... No club is likely to be a century blooming plant in baseball this season. Ninety-five games won may land the championship in either league. The Pittsburg fans who hooted the Irontown team after a Remarkable ex hibition of leadership are graduates of the school of betting which never ceased operating in the south end of the Pittsburg stand. One could not take a step at one time without falling over a bet. Once they hooted Wagner in Pitts burg. That was the ultimate hoot. After nearly everybody else" broke a bone on the Cleveland club, Ray Caldwell broke out on suspension.
