I Cardinals have four games at home | against Pittsburgh. The Cubs i were Idle today, but have four | games left to play with Cincinnati , at Chicago. Both the Cards and Cube won I yesterday, St. Louis beating Philadelphia. 15-7, and Chicago trim- [ mim Boston, 6-2. Gus Mancuso led the Cards' attack with four I hits, driving in four runs. Hack Wilson hit his 53rd home run of ihe season for the Cubs, with a ! runner on base. The New York Giants have been definitely eliminated from ! even a chance at a tie with the Cardinals, while Brooklyn will ■ pass out of the pennant picture if the Giants beat the Robins in the last game of the season between tho e two teams today. The RobI ins "have lost five straight games after winning 11 in a row. No games were played yesterday ,in the American league. The New York Yankees will end their home season today against the Boston ! lied Sox in the only American ■ league game. Yesterday's hero: Guy Rush, Chicago Cubs’ pitcher, who pitched his team to a 6-2 victory over the Boston Braves, allowing but | six hits. . LOCAL YOUNG MEN ENROLL Joe Kr'ck. Decatur high school star athlete from 1925 to 1929, left today for lensing. Michigan, where he will enter Michigan I State University as a freshman. Krick stated he would try out for both the football and baseball squads. Michigan State has a great reputation in athletics and many old Krick-fans believe that Joe will lie good enough to make the teams at the Michigan school. William Bell accompanied Krick to Lansing and he and Frederick I Schafer will then return to Ann Arbor. Michigan, where the latter will enter Michigan University as a freshman. Schafer is a graduate of Culver Military Academy and a son of C. C. Schafer of Decatur.

NO INTEREST 1 IS MANIFEST b ' New York. Sept. 23.-4U.R)- PubI lie apathy to the coming heavyweight bout between Jack Sharkey ( and Vittorio Campolo at Yankee stadium Thursday night may be directly charged to the Bostonian's , disappointments against Phil Scott . and Max Schmeling. The public seems to be about > "fed up" on Sharkey because of Ids t repeated failures. Mental lapses, foul punches and Just plain stub- , borness have almost ruined what ! little popularity Sharkey ever com- . manded among the ring fans. I Madison Square Garden has guar- • anteed him SIOO,OOO to box Cam- • pplo, leaning tower of Buenos Aires i 15 rounds, or less, in the final out- ■ door show of the season. Campolo i is getting $7,500. Already this year Sharkey has • collected more than a quarter of a million dollars for less than six > rounds of foul fighting, getting SIOO,OOO for his fiasco with Phil . Scott at Miami and $177,000 for sending the heavyweight title to . Germany by landing a low left on Max Schmeling. From indications today the gard-[ en will be extremely fortunate to make expenses on the venture, with a $125,000 gate, which will just about cover expenses, considered a I liberal estimate. Fans just can't see the percentage in paying $15.75 to see Sharkey in another of his strange performances. If there was any real hope of Campolo'S getting rid of the Bos ton sailor, the public might be willing to pay for the privilege of being there when Sharkey "got his,", but the Argentinian's form is bad. Campolo has had only 16 professional fights, and is shy on experience. Phil Scott had no trouble giving Campolo a boxing lesson, and Sharkey is as good a boxer as the Englishman. Campolo's one chance is to belt out Sharkey. The 220-pound South American has a stiff wallop in his right hand. "I appreciate that if I lose this fight, there'll be no more $200,000 shots for me,” Sharkey has said. “So you can paste it in your hat that little Jack isn't going to trip up on ths one. I'm going to win under wraps.’’ o MANY SEEK TO DEFEAT JONES Merion Cricket Club. Ardmore,! Pa.. Sept. 23.—UP.! - The pursuit of Bobby Jones, leader of the field I at the start of the second qualifying round of the national amateur championship, was taken up today by the stap players at Merion who ■are seeking to come between the Atlantan and his ambition towards his fourth major championship of the year. Don Moe, the youthful Oregonian. who had a 74 yesterday, was the first of the seeded stars and ex-amateurs to tee off. Don put his opening tee shot into a deep trap not 200 yards away, and the chase was on. Although it was another perfect day for golf, with a bright sun lifting the morning dew from the gleaming green fairways and just a touch of September freshness in the air, only a dozen spectators were gathered around the first tee at 9 a. m., an hour after the start. No one would be suspected a national championship was in pro gress. Jones, who led the field in the first round with a 69, one under par, was not due to start until afternoon, and the crowds at Merion have eyes tor no one else. Jimmy Johnston, the defending champion, was next of the seeded stars to get away. Johnston was grim lipped as he started off, for his 83 of the opening day left him with the possibility of not even qualifying. George T. Dunlap, Jr., the intercollegiate champion, who had a 71 to take fourth place at the end of the first 81 holes, started brilliantly again today. The Princetouian bagged a birdie at the second hole, and was one under par going to the fourth. o Wealthy Chicagoan Kills Wife; Then Ends Life Chicago, Sept. 23.—.U.R) —Aldrich Van Patten, wealthy credit manager for Armour and Company, shot his wife, Maude, to death today and then committed suicide. The bodies of Van Patten and his wife were found by a friend in the luxurious Van Patten apartment on Stewart avenue, a fashionable district.

Rain last night brought promises of cooler weather and foot ball players breathed easier after two tough football week, ends as far as weather was concerned. The Yellow Jackets are working away at Country Club field every afternoon—Not a bit discouraged and knowing that with their two regular backfieldmen back in the lineup, the rest of the football stories will have a happier ending. —oOo — D-P >lt and Litterer are drilling again with the squad, and indications are they will get into the scrap at Huntington next Saturday. —oOo— Huntington has lost its two first games. The Vikings always are' lingerous tho’, and they care not how thty win games either. —oOo— From the Suburb, west, comes an outburst of great happiness following the accident in which South Side was the injured party last Saturday. —oOo---We Temember a time or two when the Tigers have accid ntally won football games before —and my how ■ they celebrate when a Suburb teami wins any kind of an athletic event from anyone. —oOo — Our guess is that the roughest part of the Yellow Jackets' job. Saturday will be the road from here to Huntington. ■—oOo — The Cubs won another game Tuesday and now have a vacation until Thursday when they open their last four-game series of the year. From newspaper rumblings it appears there are many who believe the Cubs could have a better manager. —oOo — St. Louis has a game yet at > Philadelphia and then four with Pittsburgh — and then probably seven with Philadelphia Athletics. —oOo— We National league rooters will be assured of a fair break in the world series, and if the Cards don t develop a terrible slump anything' might happen. —oOo — The Decatur Pirates and Shamrocks will play another game next Sunday. Those who failed to see the Old Men and the Youngsters play last Sunday should by all means arrange to see the second scrap —the same batteries will work for both teams. Harvey Haggard. Monmouth high school athletic director pulled a fast one on Footbawls. Harve is always the first one to bring in the scores of his baseball team's games —but last Friday afternoon Monroe beat the Eagles 5-4 in a great game, and we haven't seen Harvey since. —oOo — The Conter-Klepper golf match has ben slow materializing. Both men being in the ice cream business have been busy trying to impress the other that business is so rushing, they just can't arrange a time to play. —oOo — However, whenever the match is played it will be a dandywith either Ice Cream Papa having a chance to win. The winner will be the Decatur Country Club champion for 193 C—Both golfers are making the circuit in about 75 lately. —oOo — Joe Krick, who a year or so ago was the most feared 'backguard ever on a Yellow Jacket basketball team and a pretty good football player too, left today for Lansing, Michigan, where he will enter Michigan State University as a .'reshman, Joe had a bad knee for about a year, but with the knee all well again, you can look out for Joe doing athletic business it the Michigan college. Fritz Schafer who* has kept two-thirds of the main streeterg informed on the National league baseball scores this summer, by putting bulletins in the Schafer Co. window left this morning for Ann Arbor where he will enter Michigan University—but Fritz wouldn’t leave until his father C. C., promised to continue the bulletins. Incidentally Fritz made quite a record during his four years at Culver Military Academy. As a scholar he ranked second to none and was an officer in the crack Company A his last two years. —oOo — Yellow Jackets, beat Hunt-

I McCa: thy. whom the Cubs took s [ from the Loirsville team of th c if Ime. ican Association five y ars .eiago, is stepping out, perhaps into it'another major league managership. 3,'because he couldn't make Wrig"ley's dream of the world's s ties e championship come true.

CUBS' RUMOR IS VERIFIED — Chicago. Sept- 23. —(U.R) — The [ [ Chicago Tribune, in a signed copy- [ I righted article, today stated that William Wrigley. Jr-, owner of the I Chicago Cubs, had decided defin-[ Itely to appoint Rogers Hornsby manager of the team lor 1931, re-pla.-ng -I'M“ McCarthy, manager for the last, five seasons. "There has been no niisunder- 1 dill-' With McCarthy”, the Tribune quoted Wrigley as saying. ' -We simply decided to make a ' change and as proof of my friendship and respect for Joe 1 will do all I can to assist him in getting i another big league position." The newspaper said McCarthy j had lieen informed that his contract would not lie renewed, but | that Hornsby had not yet been told officially he was to be elevated to the position of manager of a major league ball club for the third t me during his career. "We planned to tender Hornsby ■i manager's contract a few days, after the season closes,” Wrigley was quoted as saying. “We didn't want to embarrass McCarthy. Now that all sorts of rumors are ! flying around the matter prolxibly wi’l lie t jken tup immediately with Hornsby.” Wrigley intimated last night (hat lie was considering such a plan when he declared that he was i determined his team should w«in a world's championship and that if 1 McCarthy couldn't lead them to it j he would have to find someone [ who could. Today the Tribune quoted Wrigi ley as saying McCarthy had been i given five years in which to prove [ that tiie Cubs were a great team and that he d'd not consider it i unusual not to engage him after : that long a stretch.
