GIANTS BATTLE TO HOLD LEAD OVER CHICAGO National League Scene Shifts To West With Giants In Lead New York. Sept. 14— (UP)—The National League pennant dash shifted westward today with the New York Giants battling to hold their game and a half lead over the reviving Chicago Cubs. For the next 11 days the Giants will play in the west while the Culm will have the advantages of Wrigley field. The Giants open their junket in Pittsburgh today with a double-header, then they have two m.re games each with the Pirates, the Cincinnati Reds and the St. Louis Cardinale before moving into Chicago for the series which may decide the pennant, on Sept. 21, 22 and 23. The schedule definitely favors the Cubs. They have 21 games left, 14 at home and 7 away, and only one double-header. The Giants have 24 games left. 18 away and six at home, hut the big hitch is that they have four <jouble-headers in fcur successive days against the Bees and Phillies in the last week of the season. Games remaining for each team

The Giants’ pitchers have slacked ogf with Carl Hubbell. Hal Schumacher and Harry Gumbert all beat n in their last starts. The Cube lost another regular when shortstop Billy Juges went to the I..’ipital for treatment of his injured shoulder, and Lonnie Frey stepped in and added punch to the I tail-end of the hatting order. First ' baseman Rip Soilins has : from his Broken ankle, and is avail- ; able for pinch-hitting. It is unlike'y 1 that manager Charlie Grimm will 'break up his present winning cotn--1 bination inasmuch as Phil Cavarretta has been going great. The brightest spot in the Cubs’ outlook is the return to form of the pitching staff. Larry French has pitched two shutouts in his last two (strata and Tex Carleton hurled one in his most recent game. Curt Da- ( vis, useless the first half of the season;'has regained his winning touch and Bill Lee, a'though beaten by the pirates in his last start, is gear(ed for a strong finish. In the American League the Yankees are moving closer to clinching i the pennant. They now have a 10- ; game lead and play their next 10 1 games at Yankee stadium against western clubs. The hottest race Is for third place, where the Red Sox (and Cleveland Indians are driving .hard to. overtake the White Sox. Chicago is three games up on the I Red Sox and 3>4 on the Indians. Detroit has a fair hold . second. o Mooseheart Meets North Side Friday Tickets are on sale at the Decatur Moose lodge for the football ■ game between Mooseheart and ( North Side, which will be played at the North Side field in -Fort Wayne Friday night at 8 o'clock .

NEW FACES FOR BIG TEN RACES Only Indiana And Ohio State Badly Weakened 1 By Graduation Chicago. Sept. 14— (U.R) —Only ’ four days after opening practice. I 1 Big Ten football coaches began i • today to mean less about gradual-1 ed stars and speak with a glint in [ 1 their eye about the hustling young-' I stere who will make or break their ( 1 teams in 1937. Every squad In the conference - lost by the diploma route but only ' Indiana and Ohio State appeared I in distress over replacements. Francis Schmidt, ruddy-faced! coach at Ohio State, lost enough ( • manpower to wreck half a dozen 1 teams and Indiana wont forget its Vernon Huffman for a long time ’ to come. * . The test should weather the I storm. Northwesterns conference champions, with the center of last ' year’s line virtually wiped out by | ' graduation, were far from discour- ’ i aged over their chances for a sue-! • cessful title defense. Gone were ta< kies Dewitt Gibson. Park Wray and Vance Burnet ’ . and guard Steve Reid who ripped ■ 1 open the Minnesota line last fall 1 and helped smear the Gophers ‘ with their first defeat in 21 games ( But row s of reserves returned to ( ■ carry on for the veteran backs, i Capt. Don Heap. Bernie Jefferson. Bob Swisher and a brilliant sopho-. more. Jack Ryaft. I Possibly the easiest job of re-, ■ construction faced Bernie ißerman : at Minnesota. Although he lost • all-American Ed Widseth, Earl 1 <Bud> Svendsen. Charles Wilkint son. Ray Antil. Julie Alfonse. and i others. Bierman can fill almost \ ■ every hole with veterans. : Few new Gophers will have a ' ■ look-in, either in the line where t Lou Midler, tackle, and guards ■ Horace Bell. Allen Rork. Charley Schulte and Francis Twedell were back, or in a backfield filled with tested players such as Andy Uram. ( Rudy Gmitro, Vic Spadaccini and r Larry Buhler. Harry Stuhldreher at Wisconsin will replace his wild fullback. EdI die Jankowski, with the less I rugged Howie Weiss who handled I the job part of last season, and t in addition picked up two of the £ best sophomore backfield prospects in the conference. Both ! q Herb Trankle and Billy Schmitz. e soph halfbacks, may land regular! j positions. Michigan, hoping to regain its lost prestige, converted tackle Fred Janke to fullback in the ob- » sence of Cedric Sweet and new line coach Heartley (Hunk) Anderson so impressed with several, players on the reserve list he push ed out lettermen to make room on ; the first team. , El Sayre, dynamic Illinois cen- ( ter; John Drake, halfback, and George Bell. Purdue center, and Oze Simmons, lowa halfback, will I be missed but all three teams, manned by newcomers, should be 1 ( on the upgrade by midseason. o ♦ | Today’s Sport Parade | 1 (By Henry McLemore) New York, Sept. 14.—(U.R)-—When spring came last April and the • buds began to burst, the sap rose in me even as it did in the lordly ( pine and birch and, before friends could sfbp me, I had made several bets on the 1937 baseball season. j Today, in rummaging through my memory book. I came across a clipping of a story in which I listed these pre-season wagers. As I read them I couldn't help feeling that the friends who tried to stop me from making them were not true friends. Because if they had been they would have grabbed shotguns and riddled my silly pelt before allowing me to find a bookmaker. You won’t believe it but here are some of the wagers I made: (1) That Van Ljngle Mungo and Paul Derringer would win more games than the combination of Carl HubHOW YOU CAN —- GET A LOAN Thousands of families throughout the State are now using our convenient —LOAN SERVICE—and find it j ust what they need to take care of their money worries.

bell and Dizzy Dean. At the present writing Hubbell, by himself, has won 18, which is just one game shy of the combined total of my combination. The moment I made the bet Mungo's fireball went out. and he started spending his time collecting black eyes. (2) Lou Gehrig's consecutive game streak would end. It’s ended all right—just like death, taxes, and high tide. Instead of falling apart Lou has added two inches to his chest, rid himself of spots before the eyes, got a new coat of paint and apparently is good for another two or three hundred years. (3) New Y’ork City wouldn’t land a team in the world series. That one certainly should earn me an outside room at some quiet retreat, and the wholehearted respect of my fellow inmates. Even the feli low who thinks he is Napoleon will stand when I enter the room. If he doesn’t I know how to bring him to his feet—just tell him that my choices were Pittsburgh and Washington. (4) Lefty Gomez would fail in his comeback and win fewer games than he had since 1934. ! There’s blue-ribbon reasoning for you. Senor Gomez now has won 18 games, and increases my resemblance to a monkey every time he lets loose with that high, hard one of his. Another week and I’ll be swinging from trees. <s> Schoolboy Rowe would win more games than Dean. The t perennial student isn’t even playing baseball now, and has won but two gamest. If I were his teacher’s I’d wear out three switches on him, make him dust out all the erasers, and then write this on the blackboard 500 times: “How’m I doin’ Edna? Lousey. honey chile!” (6) Ripper Collins will outhit Johnny Mize. Collins couldn’t outhit Mize even if they let him swing those cruetches he’s walking round on. (7) Chet Laabs.

CZECH LEfIOER TAKEN BY DEMH First President Os European Republic Dies This Morning Prague, Czechoslovakia, Sept. H--<U.R>- Thomas Garrigue Masaryk, who rose from a blacksmith s apprentice to become the first president of the republic of (Vechoi Slovakia, ‘‘the father of his coun- ' try,” died today of pneumonia and an arterial condition. He was B<. Masaryk served three times as chief executive of Czechoslovakia He had been ill for two weeks and had been near death for two ‘ da Y’- . A 1 Last night his condition gradually became worse. He died at 3:29 a. m. without regaining consciousi ness. His son. Jan Masaryk, minister to London. President Edouard Benes and Premier Milan Hodza i and their wives were at the bed side. A period of national mourning was ordered by the government. A .state funeral will be held for the former president and the body *ill | | lie in state for two days in the ( music room of Lany castle. The funeral cortege will proceed through the principal thoroughfares of Prague after which the body will lie in state in ’’Pillar hall” in Prague castle. Masaryk will be buried in Lany park vault beside the body of his late wife, the former Charlotte i Garrigue of Brooklyn, N. Y., on ' Sept. 21. It was on Dec. 14, 1935. that the presidential standard was hauled down from the tower of Lany castle—the signal that indicated that the “grand old man ” of Czechoslovakia had resigned the office he had held for 17 years. Up until the time of his death he maintained a deep interest in European affairs in which Czechoslovakia is a key nation because of its precarious loction among democracies and dictatorships. Masaryk long had visualized a republic of Czechs and Slovaks independent of the republic of Czechoslovakia. | He was born March 7, 1850. in the serfdom of the old Austrian monarchy, in Goeding in Maehren. ’ a part of former German Bohemia. His father, Joseph, was a coachman who hd ben a eserf until he received his freedom in the revolution of 1848. After finishing elementary school. Masaryk worked in a blacksmith’s shop until he went to Vienna to enter the university. There he earned his doctor’s degree with a theme on “the essence of Plato’s ! soul.” Masaryk first entered politics in the middle ’Bo’s, being elected to the Bohemian diet in 1891 as- a member of the young Czech party opposing conservatism and clerical- ! ism. He soon fell out with his party associates, however, wh.\n he rejected their nationalists radical tendencies, and resigned in 1893. In 1907 Masaryk again entered the diet, this time at the head of his own party, the realists. With the outbreak of the World War in ! 1914 he foresaw the collapse of Austria -Hungary and the opporti tunity for formation of his republic. He went to the allies coun tries, seeking support and found it. A Czechoslovakia national council was formed in Paris and recognized by the allied powers. The declaration of Czeehosovakian in--1 dependence was issued from the ! United States on Oct. 18, 1918. Ten ' days later the revolution began in Prague and on Nov. 5. the republic was proclaimed. Masaryk was chosen first president. Masaryk was elected president again by parliament on May 27, 1920, and again in 1927. _ o Monmouth Softball • Team Wins Monday The Monmouth softball team won Its first game of the season Monday night, defeating Pleasant Mills at Monmouth, 9 to 3.
