GIANTS NEARLY HAVE PENNANT CLINCHED NOW New York Approaches Mathematical Certainty In League New York. Sept. 28—(VT) —The New York Giants approached the mathematical certainity of clinching the Nati**al League pennant today. . The world series opens 1 week | fiom tomorrow, and the Giants need i only 4 more victories in their 9 re- I ntalning games regardless of the Chicago Cubs' results. With three double-headers in the next three days, the Giants are likely to nail down the pennant by Thursday. They are 4*4 games in front of the Cube. Early speculation regarding the world series centered on the 'gening day pitchers and the betting odds. Jack Doyle. Broadway ipricemaker. won't quote hie odds until the Giants clinch the pennant, but indications are that the Yankees wi'l be 9-5 favorites. Lefty Gomel, disappointed in his ambition to pitch the world series openers in 1932 and 1936. appears' to be certain of getting the call for the Yanks in the first game. The turn of events the past ten days has shifter Cliff MeU.n. Black Mountain. N. C„ Southpaw, into the favored spot over Carl Hubbell, who hurled last year's opener for the Giants but whose stamina has suffered under , the terrific strain of the stretch drive. The question with Melton is whether manager Bill Terry will be willing to gamble the all-important first game on a rookie. Win Monday The Giants ran their winning streak to 6 in a row yesterday by | snatching twc. from the Bees. 5-4 and 3-1. The Terrymen used one of their favorite formulas in both

ANDY VARIPAPA TO BOWL HERE Famed Bowler To Appear At Mies Bowling Alleys Tuesday Billed as the world's most sen sational bowler, curly-headed Andy Varipapa returns to this city tomorrow to show the hometown j bowlers another bag of his famed ' bowling tricks and pit hts skill on the alleys against some of the better alley-artists of Decatur. In addition to his other honors. Andy has 26 perfect 300 scores to his credit. He. at one time, bowled three consecutive games of 2>9; , in 1930 he ran scores of 268, 245, 257. 279. 279. 279 and 214. Varipapa will again bowl at the Mies Recretation alleys on South Second street, appearing at Tour different times; 4,6, 8:30 and 10:30 p. m. ' Varipapa comes here with the endorsement of some of the leading bowlers and sports writers of the country. His hook has been i acclaimed the greatest of today by some writers. Manager Molly Mies is expecting a large crowd to attend the exhi- . bitions, since Varipapa bowled here i last year, and local bowling enthusiasts are expected to remember his entertainment on the alleys. DON LASH WILL RACE AT AURIIRN Indiana Star To Show Home-Towners His Famous Speed Auburn. Ind.. Sept. 28 —-(U.R) Home town neighbors of Don ' former Indiana Vniversity | track star and world record holder i for the two mile, will see their favorite .citizen run in competition tomorrow for the first though he has been startling big cities for years. Never has Lash raced in Auburn. The high school had no track, and he had to travel to nearby towns to run. Despite this, his time for the mile while still a prep hovered ' about 4:20. The special race will feature Auburn's annual street fair. It will be over a four and a half mile : tar iHHiud road between Garrett and Auburn. Auburn used to see Don run a lot. for he perfected his distance eating stride on a dry creek bed near the city limits. His lung capacity. which Harvard physiologists pronounced the greatest they had ever seen for his size, was developed by running to and from > school daily—some three miles. Against him tomorrow will run several of those men with whom he joined during his career at Indiana to win numerous relay ■ races. Included are Tom Deckard. Jimmy Smith and probably Mai Trutt. • The longer distance is not for- ' eign to Lash, for he is a former I national cross-country champion. o • * Today’s Sport Parade I (By Hanry McLemore) I New York.
