YANKS RETAIN WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP — - Beat Giants In Final, 4-2; Tony Lazzeri Named The Hero * New York. Oct. 11 <U.R) Age before beauty, they always say. so today Tony Lazzeri, a homely, wrinkled hombre of 34 years, emerged as the hero of the 1937 world series. He led the New York Yankees to the basehall championship over the New York Giants —led them to I their sixth world title, more than ' any club ever has won. He lad them with his hitting, his fielding; and his dashing play that stood out in every game “Poosh ’em up Tony" is at his . best around second base and at the plate when the blue chips are ; on the line and the ball game's on the fire, and he stood on the peaks today, one of the mos» glamorous and valuable players of all time*. ” Lazzeri and his teammates collected approximately $5,836 apiece for winning their second straight "subway" series, while the Giants each pocket the losers' share of | approximately $3,891. The players’ pool of $417,305.97, based on the receipts for the first four games, was the third largest in series history The 238.146 fans who watched the five-game series saw the Yanks walk away with the first three contests by scores of 8-1. 8-1 and 5-1. only to be stopped dead in the fourth Saturday by Carl Hubbell, veteran Giants' southpaw, who pitched his mates to a 7-3 victory. Gomez, the goofy one. who has never lost a series game, fired his Sunday pitch past the Giants to win the final game. 4-2, before 38,216 fans on a bleak, chilly dav The Giants rapped Gomez for 10 hits, but they could not score in the clutches. The only way they ever got a man around was when I Mel Ott hit the only Giants' homer of the series with Dick i Bartell on base in the third inning to tie the score. That was only drama for Gomez j Fidgeting out there on the muddy

I hill (it rained all night before), he never for one minute looked . like he was afraid of any of the Giants. When an airplane flew overhead, he gazed up nt it When IJoh nn y (Grandma) Murphy. ' Yanks' money in-the-bank relief pitcher, started warming up in the I bull-pen, Gomez looked way out I there and chuckled. When argil* 1 ments raged about a catcher's interference with a hitters' bat. Lefty only laughed Every time the Giants threatenI rd. Gomez slammed that fireball , lof his down the alley. And when things got really serious there was old Tony scampering around second base, saving the ball game. ; The Giants had a man on in the; fifth ready to start a rally when Lazzeri scooped tip a grounder to retire the side. They had two men on in the sixth when Lazzeri i gobbled up Burgess Whitehead's I groundkr to end the inning. In the ' seventh they put two men on , i again, when latzzerl smothered Ripple's roller and threw him otH I as, first. The run which won the title, deI cided the series and kept the , i Yanks on baseball's pinnacle was ' scored by latzzeri. He swung with all his might at one of Cliff Melton's pitches in the fifth inning He met the ball solidly and it took wings. Hank Leiber and Jimmy Ripple chased it all the way to the right field bleachers, approximately 450 feet from home plate—one of the longest drives in world serI les annals. Tony pulled up at third Bill Terry, manager of the Giants, called the infield in on the grass to try to catch Tony, at the plate. Gomez, a .200 hitter who swings like a wash woman, was up there. He hit a hot drive toward Whitehead. The ball caromed off the Giants' second baseman's glove and Lazzeri scored the winning run. The Yanks added another, which I they didn't need but which helped ■ Gomez in the clutches, when Lu Gehrig doubled Lelfty home. Two home runs, one by Myril Hoag in the second and another by Joe Di Maggio in the third, were the opening blasts that greeted Mountain Music Melton when he stepped out to duplicate Hubbell's Saturday I triumph Melton was replaced by i a pinch hitter in the fifth, and I Smith and Brennan finished for the Giauts. throughout the series — the first The Yanks played errorless ball I team in history not to make at least one bobble The Giants fin- ' ished with nine errors, distributed I through the Ist. 3rd and 4th I games Lazzeri. who sparkled in the ! field and at hat. wiped out the last stubborn stain of the 1926 series when he was the goat, a rookie whom the great Grover Cleveland Alexander struck out with the ' bases loaded in the big moment of . the seventh and deciding game. | He walked off the field yVsterj day after one of the greatest per- . formances under fire in the world i series history. He led every one I in batting with an average - of .400 in a 5-game series where every pitcher bears down all the way. In the field he played flawlessly, handling 27 chances without a : bobble. He raced over to second and made plays. He skipped over near first and gobbled up groundi ers. He trapped pop flies. He • swung a dangerous, damaging bat. Tony is packing his duds, the tools of his trade, and going home He's through he says, hanging up his glove, never to come back to I the majors again unless he gets a job as a major league manager. I But there are some who say that after he looks at the record, he'll | be back in there when the Yanks open their 1938 campaign. Cubs And White Sox Rained Out Sunday Chicago.

NOTRE DAME IS FOUGHT TO TIE WITH ILLINOIS Illinois Holds Irish To Scoreless Tie Saturday Chicago. Oct. 11.— (U.R) — North-■ western's Big Ten champions once mftre were at the top of the conference standings today but a new threat has fallen across their rough road to a second straight championship. The new obstacle’ ! is Illinois. .Talented but green, the Illini, throttled Notre Dame's dreaded; attack Saturday, botlled up its I passes at crucial moments and earned a scoreless tie. Purdue. 1 Minnesota and Ohio State already , block Northwestern's path. The Wildcats, who opened their ■ title defense by defeating Michigan, will meet Purdue at Evanston this | week while Minnesota invades Michigan. Illinois travels to Indiana. lowa plays at Wisconsin and Chicago battles Princeton in the j lone inter-sectional game in the; middle west. Michigan's stubborn defense | forced Northwestern into the air and Capt. Don Heap. Bernie Jes ferson and sophomore Jack Ryan promptly answered with a touch- j down in the third period. The | three completed eight of 13 passes., scoring on Heap's throw to Cleo Diehl, an end. in the end zone. j At Illinois, it was a battle of lines. Illinois with its inspired for-1 ward wall and Notre Dame with veterans striving to keep the Jllini whoirlwind from sweeping them I off their feet. Illinois threatened in the first period and missed a placement after reaching the 14 yard line. Notre Dame clawed as far as the 12 in the second period - but failed to get past the 40 for the remainder of the game. Despite the fierceness of play. 1 Illinois may be in better shape for I the Indiana game than Indiana. | The Hoosiers, with a smaller squad than Illinois, halted the | Gophers for the second week in a ’ row but finally succumbed to power. 6 to 0. Minnesota scored in the I second period on a short march after a poor Indiana punt. Wilbur Moore carried it over. Wisconsin's new found power gradually wore out Chicago and the Bedgers poured on two touchdowns in the fourth period as they rolled up a 27 to 0 victory. lowa tapered off for its conference open-; er by coming from behind to defeat Bradley 14 to 7. Bradley scot ed on a 70-yard run after a pass interception and forced lowa to march twice down the wet field. Purdue, led again by Cecil Is bell', turned back Carnegie Tech. , 7 to 0. on Lou Brock's touchdown* run. after Isbell had passed the ( team into position. Ohio State lost the second inter-sectional game involving Big Ten teams, going down before Southern California. 13 tot 12. on the coast. The Bucks scor | ed in the fourth period and took the lead but failed to hold it. o > ♦ Today’s Sport Parade (By Hanry McLemore) I New York, Oct. 11—<U.R>~Random thoughts on the late depart-. ed. but not lamented, world series: j' This series put an end to the’ talk about Bill Terry being a mast-: er mind ... a master mind, as I' get it. is a long haired fellow who ' can think so brilliantly that he can take inferior material and. “think" it to victory over superior' material . . . Brother Terry's strat-! egy was about as brilliant as a r Woolworth engagement ring * * -! He was a midas in reverse . . . | Everything he touched turned to, dross . . . The series just finished | also gave quiet death to the accepted belief that National league pitching was superior to the flinging in the American league . . . The only Giants' pitcher who belonged on the same diamond with the Yankees was Carl Hubbell, and don’t forget that King Carl's vic-j tory was scored when Yankees, in a burst of kindness, used gentle- j man named Bump Hadley. Ivy Paul Andrews, and Kemp Wicker; . . . "Mountain music" Melton, who.' set something of a record by winning 20 games his first year in the National, was drowned out by a Yankee "swing" band every time j he trudged to the mound ... He ( was a ball of fire in the senior cir-; cult, but just another fellow withl flannel pants to the Yanks • ■ • Signor Tony Lazzeri probably will change his mind about retiring from baseball . . . The signor, who j was supposed to be washed up. hit in the neighborhood of .400 and played a second base that made young Whitehead seem as unimportant as a Phi Beta Kappa key two years after graduation . . - Another quiet death; the belief that National league champions outclass Americah league champlions in fielding . . . The Yankees, ' who blank on power, went through five games without an error . . . Their defense was as tight as a Scotch drum . . . The Giants, on I the other hand, fielded strictly a

Although it was possible that at i some later date a new challenge to Black might be advanced, the • court's action today appeared to ; dose the immediate legal phage . of the fierce controversy which has raged about Black —a controversy which started v*ith revelatiort in newspaper dispatches that the for- ; mer Alabama senator once was a member of the Ku Klux Klan. Chief Justice Charles Evans , Hughes, with Black present on the bench, announced the decision. He first rejected the motion presented by Albert Levitt, resigned justice department employe. Levitt. he declared, had tailed to establish — as required by law —a personal interest in the case. Then, without further explanation, the chief justice announced that the I motion of Patrick Henry Kelly. ; Boston attorney, seeking a hearing on Black's eligibility had been denied on the same grounds. 1 The court met at 12:01 p. m. Hughes announced the action on the Black challenges almost immediately to the crowded courtroom. _ « Speaking first of the Levitt motion, he said: j "The grounds of this motion are that the appointment of Mr. Justice Black by the President and ' the confirmation thereof by the ' senate of the United States were ' null and void by reason of his ineligibility 'under article 1. section I 6. clause 2, of the constitution of the United States, and because there was no vacancy for which

I the appointment could lawfully be made. "The motion papers disclose no interest upon the part of the petitioner other than* that of a citizen and • member of the bar of tills court. That is Insufficient "It is un established principle I that to entitle a private individual i to invoke the judicial power to determine the validity of executive or legislative action he must show i that he has sustained or Is ImI mediately in danger of sustaining i a direct injury as the result of that i action and It Is not sufficient that he has merely a general interest common to all members of the public.’ 1 Then .without further ado. Hughes announced that Kelly's petition had been rejected on the same grounds. Picketing Efforts At Italian Embassy Fail Washington. Oct. 11—(UP)—Police today dispersed a group of antifascist demonstrators who sought to picket the Italian embassy in protest gainst the visit of Vlttori/’ Mussolini, son of the Italian pre--1 nder. Charging the group "of nine demonstrators immediata'y after they appeared before the embassy, po-' lice seized their placards, shoved | them off the sidewalk and forced ' ; them to leave the vicinity.
