CARDINALS AND HANKS FAVORED N>< York, 24-<UJO-An ' nnmt to revival of the 1926 ’»”. «J. W—» "■' N " V " ,k ;XT»i »• -i- ,„„ Fnterlng ’he final week of the baseball season, the * nnkees hnld a 2-game lead over the Philaephia Athletics and the Cardinals 12 a blame lead over the New Y °ihw'team <an affor dto slacken M ce, but both leaders appear to have the strength left to send them the wire in front. The Yanks need only five victories nul of their seven remaining games clinch ’he pennant, while the Cards must win all seven of their Hme , to take the flag, provided the , w 0 contenders in both leagues win all their remaining games. The Yanks are crippled and their pitching staff is shot, but they refuse to quit fighting and nothing less than a complete collapse can knock them off. The Yanks have two more games with the Indians and then they move to Detroit to wind up the ’season with a 5-game series against the Tigers. The Athletics practically have tossed away their last opportunity and must win all of their six remaining games to have any chance, depending on what the Yanks do in their games. Another shining example of grit and courage is on display in the National league where the Giants are hanging onto the heels of the Cardinals. If the Giants can win the rest of their games up to the final game of the season with the Cardinals here next Sunday, the National league race may end in a tie. The Giants have seven games left, two with Cincinnati, four with Chicago and one with St. Louis. On the other hand, the Cards have six games with second division teams, three each against the Robins and Braves, and the final game with the Giants. The Cards have had little trouble with the Braves this season, winning fifteen out of twenty games from them, but they have won only eleven out of nineteen from the Robins. n — YESTERDAY’S HOMERS Bottomley.

FZT Puma, amo i-HSEA-C V? PA4.4E(,-HE SACK a b YARO6 I BACK OF JS.t CkNTE-Q By SOL METZGER Will "Pop" Warner's new offense, the formation he will spring in the opening game between his Stanford eleven and the Olympic A. C. this Saturday, revolutionize football, as Pop has revolutionized attack several times in the past? That is the big question. Pop was never better equipped for a grid campaign than for this one, as they tell me he has two good men for every position on the eleven, in consequence. Stanford’s supporters, including Herbert Hoover, look for a clean sweep on the coast. The new formation Pop is about to launch is a more open one than he has been wont to use. The line is unbalanced as hitherto; but in the set of his backs radical changes are noticeable. Two flank the opposing tackles and are stationed outside their own ends and a yard and a half behind the line of scrimmage. The No. 2 back, the quarter, plays three yards back, of his right guard; the No. 1 back directly back of center 6 yards. He is the triple threat man. From this set of tacks Pop plans to run. pass and punt. This formation is not entirely new to football, as Lafayette, coached by Herb McCracken, a Warner pupil at Pitt, has used a somewhat similar one. But before we take un that let us look at Warner’s system’of placekicking, quite different from that usually in vogue, in tomorrow’s article. You can't win football games by abusing the stomach.

The Fourth Down By Willie Punt The Huntington Vikings, fresh from a 13-0 victory over the Logansport Loganberries at Logansport last Friday, will invade Decatur next Friday for a battle with the Yellow Jackets. Will the Yellow Jackets he equal to the task and will the fans lend a helping hand by their support- Time will tell. Decatur Got It Again "Decatur Yellow Jackets were hit their second blow of the season, at Columbia City yesterday afternoon, when the latter’s football squad scored a 42 to 0 victory over the Adams county eleven. Decatur's bad beginning continues but watch out for their good ending. They have been known to spring a surprise once or twiae" —Bluffton BanNews. A Bad Day "Friday must lie just naturally an unlucky day for the Decatur YellowJackets. They lost their football game at Columbia City yesterday, 42 to 0. Comparing scores with Columbia City it would seem that the Tigers have a little the edge on the Yellow Jackets as matters stand right now.’’—Bluffton Banner. This Explains Something “It was an entirely different looking outfit that faced Decatur from the one which lost to Bluffton Saturday before. The overconfidence that lost the first game was lacking and the sadness which follows an undeserved defeat brought the local lads to a realization that football games are not won until the final whistle sounds. It seems that Columbia City elevens in past years have had to learn that lesson. Central high school of Fort Wayne put over three touchdowns in the final quarter several years ago to overcome three made by C. C.. so Bluffton was only doing what Columbia City teams were in the habit of having done to them. But Bluffton may have taught them the lesson early this season, and if so, the lads representing the local school have much to be thankful for, as they face qome stiff competition in the near future.” —Columbia City Post Joe Shows 'Em In a story discussing tiie first week of practice by the Butler University football team, the Indianapolis Sunday Star said yesterday: "Another ‘Find’ has come in the person of Joe Bebout, a battling sophomore from Decatur. Bebout has shown some real class during the past few days and it is very likely that he will see considerable service during the coming season." Bebout, who put in four years of service with Decatur high school football basketball, baseball and track teams, won his numerals in football, basketball and track at Butler last spring. He was prevented from winning a fourth numeral in baseball by a sprained ankle, sustained in track. Joe is in fine physicial condition this fall and should be able to give some real performance for “Potsy” Clark at Butler. The Bulldog's first game is at North-

western next Saturday. The Willow Bend Country Club golf team, of Van Wert, Ohio, lost a match to the Celina-St. Marys club on the North Shore Country Club course, last Friday. 41-34. o New I, U.
