GIANTS SPLIT I BUT ADD HALF GAME TO LEAD Present Indications I’oint To Another New York Series New York, Sept. 10 —(UP) —With only 23 days of the Mapor League baseball season remaining all indl- • cations pointed today toward another all New York world series. The Yanks are as good as in. They have an 11-ganie lead with only 27 games left to play. If the Yanks win 14, the eec aid-place Detroit Tigers would have to win all 25 of their remaining games to beat them out. The Giants still have to contend with the Cubs but daily the pennant comes closer to the Terrymen. They have a three-game lead with 27 games left to play. If they win 17 the Cubs will have to win 20 out of 25 to win the pennant. Bookmakers already are quoting the Yanks 2-1 favorites to win the world title regardless of who wins the National League pennant. If the Cubs win the odds may make the Yanks as high as 3-1, longest priced favorites in Wor’d series history. Nutshell News from Yesterday's labseball front: Shock —Yankees blew two leads,' 1 one •< four runs, and lost to the Red Sox. who made six errors, by a 13-7 score. The victory put Boston back in fourth place. Surprise—Luke Hamlin outpitched Carl Hubbell to give Brooklyn

COLLEGE GRID TEAMS MEET IN FIRST PRACTICE Big Ten, Notre Dame Hold First Practice Sessions Today Chicago. Sept. 16.— (U.R) — BiR Ten football coaches—two of them new at their jobs—summoned approximately 900 ambitious athletes to opening practice today with the old problem of how* to beat Minnesota still the chief worry. Even Bernie Bierman, coach of the mighty Gophers who finally fell against Northwestern ast season. 6 to 0. had to find the answer. He had a squad of 100 to help him. The newcomers were Irl Tubbs, who succeeded Ossie Solem at lowa, and Mai Elward. Purduess , assistant coach, elected to handle the Boilermakers during the illness of athletics director Noble Kizer. Tubbs faced a grave problem, i He found little to work with and not much time to produce results. Elward. however, had one of the best Purdue squads in years and his team, along with Northwestern and Ohio State, appeared to have the best chance of keeping Minnesota away from the championship. Despite heavy losses. Lynn Waldorf of Northwestern will have another porwerful team. His line was riddled by graduation but veteran backs, including Capt. Don Heap and Bob Swisher, who was ineligible last year, will be available. W aldorf’s squad numbered 70. Ohio State still has plenty of vet eran material left from its scarlet scourges of the past. Smallest squads in the conference reported at Chicago and Indiana where long-suffering coaches Clark Shaughnessy and Bo McMillin counted 40 candidates each. Neither team will have much voice in the campaign. The other three—lllinois. Michi gan and Wisconsin — all invited squads much stronger than last | year. Starting his 25th year at Illinois, Bob Zuppke finally got a few big men. Michigan, which perked up near the end of last season, graduated | few lettermen, while Wisconsin, in Harry Stuhldreher’s second season, may become a figure in the race. [ South Bend. Ind.. Sept. 10.—(U.R) — Elmer Layden. Notre Dame’s athletic director and head football coach, opened training for another “suicide lootball schedule" today, with a squad of 124 candidates. The ends and fullback jobs were J expected to cause Layden consider- j able trouble. Losses in the line, while heavy, appeared fairly well sealed over by replacements from last year. —o * ♦ ! | Today’s Sport Parade (By Henry McLemore) New York, Sept. 10—(U.R>—The more sports events I see in this country, the more I am amazed that the dear old United States produces as many champions at it does. The American customers are very, very tough on champions.' Just let a fellow work his way to the No. 1 spot and he becomes the i No. 1 target of the boys and girls in the gallery. Their one aim, when they lay out their money for tickets, is to get seats which will provide them with a commanding view of the downfall of the head man. The latest exhibition of this peculiar national trait came at Forest Hills yesterday when John Donald Budge played a quarter final match against one Joe Hunt. Budge is the tennis champion, the No. 1 in the world, so all he got from the crowd for a solid hour of magnificent shot-making was a rather cold and unfriendly silence. On the other hand. Hunt, who is just another workman, and who doesn't belong in the same league with the California redhead, was HAVE YO U FINANCIAL TROUBLES?

thunderously applauded whenever he made a winning shot. Such an attitude is hard to ex-| plain. Budge is modest and has perfect court manners. He won the Davis cup for this country as- • ter others had been failing for 10 I years. His superb artistry provided the only thrills of the match. It i would seem, would it not. that he would be the one to receive the I plaudits of the customers, especial-1 ly in view of the fact that tennis| fans, more than those of any other i sport, appreciate the fine points of the sport they love? But no. Hunt, the under-dog. was the favorite. The crowd wanted to see Budge knocked off. and they resented the perfection of the shots ! that crushed his opponent. It's the same in boxing and all. other sports. Joe Louis licked' Tommy Farr with as fine a display ! of left jabbing as any heavyweight' , champion has ever shown, yet his ‘ victory was greeted with five minutes of concentrated boos and cat- ! calls. Appreciation of the champ- ( ion's perfect skill was smothered under a desire to see the crude and clumsy Farr upset him. Tommy Hitchcock, in polo. Babe Ruth in baseball. Notre Dame in football, all have felt the hostility of the American crowd toward the standout performer. The one exception that I know of j was Bob Jones. The Atlantan was a champion that the crowd went for, body and soul. The fairway: ! customers whooped and hollered' with joy when he won. and suffered the inside miseries when he lost. I They never tired of him winning. l il've never seen more mass happiness than on that day at Merion I when he ran down the putt that ■ licked Gene Homans and gave him his tremendous grand slam. Jones' I opponents worked under a tremendous handicap —- the unfriendliness of the gallery. I have actually heard spectators hiss when a play- ; er would lay an approach dead or I sink a long putt and take a hole away from the Georgia gem. But as I said, Joues was an ex- | ceptlon. In direct contrast to an American crowd is an English crowd. EngI lish sport followers invariably are for the champion. They go to tennis and golf and polo and cricket chiefly for the pleasure of seeing an artist executive perfect shots, and are saddened when an unknown comes along and, because of a temporarily brilliant touch, upsets the champion. Englishmen place no high premium on a bitter fight. They would rnu.h rather see a champion, ait shots working flawlessly, breeze i through a less capable performer, than to watch two mediocre, but
