REDS CAIN LEAD IN NATIONAL LODI Cincinnati Team Beat Brooklyn While St. Louis Cards Are Idle New York, Sept. 15 —(United Pres The Cincinnati Reds, their pitchin staff working like a well-oiled mi chine and the entire team hittin hard and fielding witn precisivt were out in front in the spectacula National League pennant race todaj The Reds, by taking their 17t game of ths season from Brookly whle St. Louis moves into Philade idle yesterday, broke the tie and lei by half a game. The Pittsburgh Pirates, whos' pitching staff likewise is fqnctionini with precision, stayed in the fight b giving the New York Giants a 5-i beating. The Pirates are two game behind the Cardinals. All three teams play today and th* Reds, seemingly invincible aga.ns: the weak eastern teams, have an ex cellent chance of sweeping the series with Brooklyn. The formidable Rec Lucas probably will pitch for Cin cinnatii. The Pirates meet the Giants again while St. Louis moves into Pbiladel phia to meet the tail-end Phillies? After the surprising slump of the Cards against the weak Boston Braves, the law of averages should work in their favor in their six games with the Phillies. The chances are all in favor of a fight right to the last day of the season. Sept. 26, with a play-off possible. Three teams so evenly matched seldom hit the end of the season so closely together as the Cards, Reds and Pirates. The pennant in the American League probably will be decided definitely in Cleveland this week, where the leading New York Yankees meet the second place Indians in six games. The Yanks have a five and a half game lead. o ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦*♦+♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ BASE BALL STANDINGS * ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ + ♦♦ + ♦♦♦♦ National League W L Pct.

' — | The Fourth Down Ox By Willie Punt Murray Mendenhall, th** popular coach of Fort Wayne Central basket ball and track teams, will be the ret eree in charge of the Decatur-Auburn tootball game at Auburn. Saturday. Murray is a square shooter and Coach Marshall and the Yellow Jackets can rest assured that they will be treated right. Ormerod. of Fort Wayne, will be the umpire. Only five games are on the schedule for Auburn and the season will end October 30. in a game with Bluffton. Auburn ended the football season early last year, also, and got the jump on other basketball teams in this part of the state. The Auburnbasketball schedule starts with a game with LaGrange, Nov. 5. We believe the Auburn officials are wise in ending football the last of October. We like football but we believe the season should end in October and at least two weeks be given for the basketball squad to get into condition for the opening game. That sort of an arrangement is better for both sports. "Seems to us that Bluffton and Decatur are right in the bull's eye of the I old target that every other sport? scrips in this district is firing his scribe In this district in firing hie ' and Yellow Jackets didn't set the world on fire last year, but some oi the wise boys may get an earful this year.
