YOUNG STRIBLING IN A COME-BACK By Frank Getty, UP Sports Editor / Madison Square Garden. New York. Sept. 7. (U.R) —Young Stribling of Georgia is back in the fistic limelight, standing out today as one of the leading contenders for the heavyweight ehampionship of the world. The southern boy's victory over Johnny Squires of South Aft lea in two rounds at Madison Square Garden last night went a long way towards restoring him to the good graces of tickle New York fandom. It Is true that Squires could offer little opposition, the South African proving iiuite as Itorizontal as any of the British heavyweights. St.idling's demeanor in the ring and his businesslike way of finishing off his opponent were a pronounced im provement over some of his previous pc: formant es. • Squires went down twice in the first round, once from exhaustion and again from a savage left hook to the jaw. He was practically out on his feet when the bell saved him. In the second round. Stribling went to work with a veqgeunce and quickly had the South African helpless, Louis Magnolia stopping the tight after 44 Seconds. Stribling weighed 18J 1-4. and looked very fit. He seems to have improved his attack, and displayed an effective line of jaiis. hooks, uppercuts and a devastating straight right which seldom misesd. —o Watching The Scorehoard -(U.R)— Yesterday's hero: George Harper, utility outfielder of the St. I .ouis Cardinals. whose home run in the tenth inning with Wilson on base gave the St. Louis Cardinals in 4 to 3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Chick Hafey put the Cardinals in the lead in the fifth with a home rujt with one on base, only to have the Pirates tie the score in the ninth with a home run by Paul Waner with L. Waner on hose. Burleigh Grimes allowed Imt ‘six hits, while the Pirates found Mitchell for seven. In the first half of the tenth. Pittsburgh threatened to sew up the game when Scott singled and scored on Grimes' long single. The Chicago Waite Sox opened a three game series with the Cleveland Indianas by winning 2 to 1. Both teams scored their only runs in the first inning. A double by Mostil, a single, a base on balls anti a scarifice fly accounting for the White Sox's runs. All other scheduled games were rained out. o- ** ¥¥***! * WITH THE BIG * * LEAGUE STARS * ******** —(U.R)— Paul Waner (3791 hit home run, batting in two runs anti scoring one run in four times at bat.

JUNIOR BASEBALL SERIES STARTS By Dixon Stewart, UP Staff Correspondent Chicago, Sept. 7. 'U.R) Two teams lof youthful diamond stars, one from Worcester, Mass., and the other from Oakland, Calif., meet here this afternoon in the first of three games to decide the mythical junior baseball championship of the world. The teams are the last survivors of the American Legion's tournament in which more than 100,1)00 boys under 17 participated. The series is sponsored by the American and National leagues and the winning players will be guests of Judge K. M. Ldndis at the worlds series next month. Worcester holds the championship of the cast and Oakland the championship of the west. The latter team is banking on the strong left arm of Charles Hardt, a pitcher who may earn big league spurs in the near future. Charley allowed only one run in 57 innings of championship play. In the last 38 innings he has not allowed a run. Against this brilliant southpaw twirling Worcester in pitting a 16-year-old right hander. Wilson Dunlap. IT Dunlap has won 21 out of the 22 contests he has pitched for his team. Golf , Tennis E Sport Fever I Baseball Swimming I Football dope overwhelmingly predominates in today's clippings. Unless local golf bugs shcot us some help soon, this column is likely to do 'he fade away any day. The first football game of the season. so far as known, will be played by the Kokomo and Elwood high school elevens at Kokomo, tomorrow. Coach Means, ct Bluffton high, is introducing cross country as sport in Bluffton this fall. He is urging all track and baseball men who are not out for football to take part in the limning. According to the Bluffton News, “efforts are now being made to hold a few cross country meets this fall, probably with Decatur. Hartford City and Central high school of Fort Wayne." Our good friend Buckner has started his football column, “Gridiron Dope,” J in the Bluffton Banner. Here Is one of his paragraphs: "They say that the Tigers eleven i his year will nut be quite as heavy ns ■in former years, but what the boys lack in weight they will make up in speed. Well, plenty of speed and ac-

tion suits us.'' Beware Os Undertakers, Gang Winslow, Sept 7 4U.R) ’Yellow Jackets. credited with being among the most stinging of all stinging insects, can be routed with embalming fluid. This was proved by Oliver Benton, on dertaker. who was stung by five yel low jackets while cutting his hedge at his home, lie sprayed the Insects' nest with the fluid and they left In a hurry Judging from the reports we hear coming from the camp of the Decatur high Yellow Jackets this fall, its going to take more than the undertaker's < nibalmlng fluid to put them to rout. New Football Riles In his article. "The Gridiran-Sizzles" appearing in the October issue of College Humor, Maor John L. Griffith, Western Conference Athletic Cominissigner, says: “While most of the changes noted in the new football rules have to do with clearing up the basic points which caused boom* confusion •among officials last year, there have been a few changes which will excite the interest cf the college men and women who will witness the games this fall. "Last yeat the committee, composed of Tad Jones. Bill Roper. Alonzo Stigg A. F. Ahearn. 11. J. Stegeman. D. X Bible. H. W. Hughes, George Varnell, E. K Hull and W. S. Langford, in an | attempt to add another Interesting'feature to the game, tried to encourage the backward pass. Expelience taught, however, that many tumbles in the backward passes when without doubt i was no intent on the part of the ofI tensive team to make an English rugby play. This year the c mmittee has des- ! ignated that a protected backward puss tlie ball will belong to the side that recovers it at the spot of recovery. In the case of a backward pass in j which a player attempts to hand the ■ Ifall to another and wheie it has n t I been dearly thrown two yards, if such a ball is fumbled either team may cover and run with it. “The rules also provide that when the ball is not in possession of a playI er and strikes the goal post or crosses the bar, unless it is a kicked ball which
