BASEBALL RACES REACHING CLIMAX By Frank Getty (U. P. Sports Editor) New York, Sept. 27—One of the cli-1 matte days of the 1928 major league i season has at rived. The New York Yankees can clinch j the American League pennant this afternoon, if things bleak right for them. The New York Giants can move up to first place—whether or not they share it with the St. Louis Cardinala—in the national league race. For every fan in the far-flung realm of barn-ball. whether lie perches breathless back of third base or listens in at the radio in some cross road grocery store today's hall games are fraught with meaning. Here are just a few of the day's possibiiitiM: if tlie Yankees defeat the Detroit Tigers in both games of a double- header at Nevin Field, and if the Philadelphia Athletics lose to the Chicago White Sox the American League race will be over. The World Champix ns will have clinched the pennant, mathematically and definitely? Even if Miller Huggins’ club should lose all its* remaining games and the Athletics win all theirs, the Yanks would cop. In the National League, the St. | Louis Caidinals lead the New York Giants by the far from ineradicable margin of two percentage paints, or half a game. Theie will be a doubleheader between the Giants and the Chicago Cubs at the Polo grounds, and . if New York wins both games the twoj tontendeis will be tied even if the Cardinals win their game with the Bostin braves. A double defeat for the Giants while , the Cards were winning, on the other; hand, would put New York virtually; cut of the running. Chicago fans point out that the Cubs still have a mathematical chance of winning the National League pennant. But then, so has Fred Fulton of winning the heavyweight ehampionship of the world. All that would have to happen would lie for the Bruins to treat ■ the Giants four straight while the Car- j dinals were dropping three in a row to the Boston Braves, after which the] Culis would have to treat the Beils next I Sunday while the Giants were trimm j ing the Cards. The chances of the New Yolk Giants turning October's big baseball show | into another "subway series" are same- ; thing more than mathematical, how-' ever. o . Sammy Baker Wins From Y oung Corbett Brooklyn, N. Y., Sept. 27 —(U.R)—After years of waiting. Sergeant Sammy Baker is almost within reach of a welterweight title bout. The Mitchel Field aviator reversed) a decision suffered at the hands of y ntng Corbett, 111., two weeks ago, by taking a 12-round decision from the California southpaw last night at Eb-l bets field. Baker's victory vindicated the New ' York State Athletic commission's judgment in demanding that Baker should meet the winner of the com- I ing welterweight campicnsbip bout i between Joe Dundee, the title holder, and ‘‘Black Jack" Thompson, San Francisco Negro, at Madison Square Garden. November IG. Corbett was outgamed. out-slugged and out-bsxed by Baker. He almost p.eeipitated a riot by hitting the little soldier after the bell for the end of the second round. o_ — —— Watching The Scoreboard United Press Yesterday’s Hero —Dazzy Vance, ace cf th eßrooklyn Robins' staff, who held of the Brooklyn Robins’ staff who held and aided in giving the Robins a 6 to 1 victory over the National League leaders. It was the 22nd victory c* the season for Vance, and his strikeout record was run up to 200. The Cardinals now lead the New York Giants by half a game in the'National League pennant race. Hendrick, B ooklyn center fielder, was the leading hitter of the game, getting t.nee safeties and batting in four of the Robins' runs. The Chicago Cubs defeated the Philadelphia Phillies, 8 to 3. Pat Malone allowed six hits while the Cubs found' three Philadelphia pitchers for twelve. Ha. nett, , Lerian and Klein hit home runs.

Scoring Teams Have Deceptive Plays i x' + \\ \\ Y t?vt\ i i r F 7 J J H @ ' By SOL METZGER Deception is the keynote of modern football. You will find it playing no | small part in the attack of Lafayette this fall, a team that will be far stronger than last year. Coach Me- J Craeken uses a formation that is strikingly like the new one Pop Warner will test on the Pacific Coast this fall, and with it Lifayette has had much success. McCracken builds up an offense with the object in view of hood-wink-ing opponents. One season when Rutgers and Washington A- Jefferson ' were played and defeated he secured | a victory over Rutgers with the later-, al pass sketched here, which worked successfully solely because it followed a reverse run patterned in exactly , the same way. except that back No. 1 4 carried the ball on the reverse with No. 1 leading him. Naturally this re- , > verse caused the Rutgers backs to come in fact wh»n they thought it was to be repeated. Instead, No. 4, laterally passed to No. 1. who circled wide I I and was free. Incidentally, coaches who think I there is nothing of value in lateral ' passing might take a keen look at the play described here. McCracken used it before the rules favored the lateral j pass by making a fumble cc tint merely as a down regardless of which team recovered it. How this play suddenly | developed into a forward pass and i I caught W. and J. napping will )>e described tomorrow. Diet often stands between victory. i and defeat. You can’t expect to win at football by overeating and undersleeping. You must learn the value |of regulation.

Combines Jobs Os Bricklayer And Minister — Denver, Cclo., Sept 27 —(U.R)— Dr. Thomas Murray, Denver's preaching bricklayer, finds that "building foundations for houses has its place, just as building foundations for the seal." Spreading the gospel in winter ami mortar in summer, tlie blue eyed Irish immigrant has worked ills way through two universities, including Princeton, with his trowel. He brought his parents to the comforts of America in 1911, one year as ter his arrival here, and married soon 1 afterwa'.ds. all through the earnings of his trowel. "I have a let for which t> thank bricklaying.” he said. "It gave me my , oppo. tunity to preaeh. “I worked my way through school' with it. I used to work summers, ami make enough m ney to go to school a year. The other lads would wash dishes during .the school term to make their way.” Dr. Murray is completing a community center for his church here as a part of his season's bricklaying. Last sum-1 mer he built a bank in Holly. Colo. "Yon make a lot of friends when I you're a preacher,” Murray said, and added, witli a smile for his family of five, "but when you're a bricklayer you're sure of three meals a day.
