YANKS CLINCH FLAG RACE FOR THREE IN ROW Yankees Heavy Favorites To Take Third Straight Series Title New York, Sept. 19 -<U.R>-Three time champions, the New York Yankees anxiously awaited today the end of the regular baseball basebal 1 sea son and a chance to break all precedents by winning their third successive world title. With two straight world championships to their credit, the Yanks can become the first team in history to win three in a row by defeating the National league champions in the world series opening October 5. Jack Doyle. Broadway pricemaker, already quotes the Yanks 5-2 favorites to win regardless of who they play. Only twice before in baseball annals has a team had a chance to win three straight world series. John McGraw's Giants went into the 1923 world series against the Yankees with two successive world titles but were beaten Connie Mack’s Athletics entered the 1931 world series against the Cardinals with the same accomplishment but Pepper Martin ran wild and led St. Louis to the title. The Yanks clinched their 10th pennant in 18 years yesterday, giving New York more American league flags than any other club. The Yanks previously had been tied with the Athletics with nine each. The Yanks went into the league championship through the back door. Rainy weather clinched the flag for them by washing out the Red Sox-White Sox double header at Chicago. The Yanks knew they had the' pennant won when they opened a,

doublehcnder against the Browns at St. Lottis. They lost both games to the tail-end Browns, 4-3 and 8-7. twin triumph elevated the Browns into seventh place. The triumphs were on the level. Joe McCarthy had his best talent In the lineup. Buck Newsom scored his 18th victory by outpitching Red Ruffing, American league's premier hurler, In the opener. Don Heffner s double and Mel Almada's single produced the winning run. Mel Mazzera's homer tied the score in the ninth Inning of the nightcap and Harland Clift, who had tripled, scored the winning tally on Joe Glenu's passed ball. Pittsburgh moved nearer the National league title by scoring a 1-0 triumph over the Phillies, increasing their lead over the Cubs to 3% games.

R will be played off as part of a double-header today. The Cubs slipped a cog in their pennant drive when Brooklyn beat them. 4-1. A four-run attack on Charlie Root in the third won the game. Dizzy Dean relieved Root and allowed only two hits in 4 l t innings. The second game ended in a 3-5 tie because of darkness. Billy Herman made a sensational, leaping catch of Gilly Campbell's liner with the bases loaded and two out in the fifth to save the game. In the other American league games Cleveland and Philadelphia divided a doubleheader and Detroit won from Washington. 8-1. The Indians beat the A's, 7-3, in the opener. Jeff Heath hit his 16th homer and Frankie Pytlak collected two doubles and a single. The A s won the second game, 14-3. in seven innings by driving Bob Feller to cover in a seven-run fifth inning. Wally Moses led the A's attack with four hits. Charley Gehringer and Rudy York had perfect days. “3 for 3” each in the Tigers' victory. Yesterday’s hero: Paul Wner, ' Pittsburgh's veteran whose ninth j inning single drove in the winning ‘ run in the Pirates victory over the Phillies.

PRO FOOTBALL CHAMPS HELD TO TIE SCORE I —— Washington Held To Tie By Brooklyn; Chicago Bears Win (By United Press) The National league football season was only Id days old today but already the world champion Washington Red Skins appeared endangered. The Red Skins, without the service of Sam Baugh, were held to ; a 16-16 tie yesterday by the Brook- j lyn Dodgers. The Dodgers appear- j ed much less powerful than sev-1 eral other title contenders. Washington was lucky to get a tie as Brooklyn was leadin 16-13 with eight seconds to play when Bob Masterson booted a 15-yard field goal to tie the score. Washington uncovered an able substitute for Baugh, however, in [ Bill Hartman, a Unlvtrsity of Georgia product, who completed seven consecutive passes to give the Red Skins two touchdowns in the second period. Baugh, who dislocated his right shoulder in Washington's opening game with | Philadelphia last Suday. probably will be on the sidelines this week whe nthe Red Skins play the NewYork Giants, runnerup for the eastern division title last year. The tie tilt featured a week-end of the tightest games in the league’s history and gave evidence of a hot fight in both divisions. The western champion Chicago Bears nosed out the powerful Green Bay Packers, 2-0, with a last period safety. After battling scorelessly for three periods, the break came when Arnold Herber, attempting to punt out of dnger, fumbled. He recovered, but was downed behind his goal line for the safety. This gave the Bears ’ their second straight victory and, undisputed lead of the division. , ■ Chicago's Cardinals, whodropp- , ed their opener to the Bears, scor- s ed a one-point victory over the ( Cleveland Rams, 7-6, in the other t game, played Saturday night. 1 This week's schedule: Friday. Pittsburgh at Brooklyn; Sunday. New York at Philadelphia. Cleve- < land at Washington. Chicago (Card-; I inals) vs. Green Bay at Milwaukee. , j o <

Decatur's Y’ellow Jackets, after dropping their opening game to the Bluffton Tigers last week, will be put through strenuous workouts this week in preparation for their. second encounter of the year. —oOo — The Jackets will travel to Auburn Saturday afternoon for a battle with Zeke Young and his Red Devils. This will be one of the Yellow Jackets' two games of the season under natural light. Auburn opened its season Saturday with a 13-0 victory over the Columbia City Eagles, scoring touchdowns in each of the first two quarters. Hines, quarterback, and Tartar, fullback, led the Auburn attack. Although losing by a three-touch-down margin to Bluffton, the Yellow Jackets piled up eight first downs as compared to 12 for the winners. —oOo— Decatur's delayed home opener will be played Friday night, September 30, with the Tigers from Fort Wayne Central as the opposition. Central opened its season with a 44-18 vitory over Bluffton, but later was forced to forfeit the game because of a player s ineligibility. The Yellow Jackets’ opening game, scheduled for Friday, Sepember 9. was postponed because if inability to have the night lights erected on the scheduled time. Last weeks game with Bluffton was transferred to the Parlor City for the same reason. —oOo — The Garrett game will be played here Tuesday night, October 4, only four days after the Central tilt The Railroaders marked up a 13-6 triumph over Portland Saturday in Garrett’s season opener. —oOo — A few minor college games were played Saturday. Additional teams will swing into action this week end, with all scheduled to start by the' following week, October 1. Most important, perhaps, of this

Chief attraction in Indiana will be the PurdueDetroit clash at Lafayette. o Today’s Sport Paraded By Henry McLemore New York, Sept. 19. — (U.K) —ls war comes, and America has to mobilize quickly, here is a hint for the war department: Announce a golf tournament with 1 first prize of ss.Svu in cash for the winner. Before the first general can get nis epaulettes pinned on. and while he songwriters still are hunting ’or a word to rhyme with Czechoslovakia, half the healthy men in the country will have reported for duty. And what is more, they’ll be armed with clubs. No call for volunteers, no selective draft ever rounded up so many able-bodied Americans as did the announcement a few months ago that there would be such a golf tournament, with such a first prize, at the Fenway Country club in Westchester county. New York. It starts the middle of this week, and those foreign nations who aren't afraid of us, probably will be after they see the parqde of manly might around the first tee. Figures from the tournament headquarters indicate that every male citizen between 21 and 50 who has so much as a putter, a

driver, and one golf hall, will be there. The entry list reads like the 1930 census, and the postman who has been bringing the entries is so weary he can scarcely ring once, much less twite. The thought of winning $5,000 has caused hope not only to beat, but to fairly clatter and batter, in the breasts of duffers who couldn't break a 100 with cheating privileges. ‘Ciabs which were last swung when the feather hall was in vogue are being brought down from the attic and polished, and men whose last round was in the days of the sand tees are cracking their vertebrae with practice swings. The fact that the entry list includes the names of all the country's great golfers—Cooper. Smith, Snead. Guldahl, Little. Manero, Shute, Metz, and al! the test —has not dampened the enthusiasem of the unknowns one whit. The $5,000 prize has gone to their heads like strong wine, causing them to shade the mothballs from their plus-fours and dream of birdies, eagles, and holes-in-one. So many of them have enlisted for the tournament that officials age seriously considering adding an extra 18 holes and beginning play one day early. Adding 18 holes to this tournament makes the carrying of coals to Newcastle seem like a downright sensible endeavor, because it already is scheduled for 108. Yes, 108, or six complete rounds. Without the extra 18 the boys will have to play

WOMEN'S GOLF ' TOURNEY OPENS 111 Women Open Match Play In National Amateur Tourney Wilmette, 111, Sept. 19 <U.P>— | Out they go today 111 of them— I seeking 64 match play berths in the women's national amateur golf championships over the treacherous tournament course at Westtnort land The windup still Is six days 1 away, but you can pick up plenty of talk already about what Mrs Kstelle laiwson Page, the defending champion, will do to pugnosed Patty Bc-rg in the 36 hole finA The two were heavy favorites to cut their wny through five rounds of match play and meet again for the title as they did last year in Memphis, where Mrs. Page won, 7 and 6 Apparently there is none in the field good enough to stop them. 1 The champion scored America's greatest victory in the Curtis cup matches with Britain. Patty, with nine shiny silver mugs to show for her 12 tournaments this year, j has outgrown her title as the best little runner-upper in women's golf. But favorites fall fast and; Westmoreland's course isn't called treacherous for nothing. It is neatly trapped with heart breakers. There is one green built like a soup-bowl, surrounded by sandpits. There's another only 150 yards from the tee on which almost any of them will be glad to get a four. The course can be licked. Pat--18 on Thursday, 18 more on Friday, and then swing into 36 on Saturday and 36 on Sunday. The winner probably will have alredy spent his 15,000 for foot powder before he finishes. He'll have a bunion for every birdie, and his arches will sink along with bis putts.

His will be one tournament where it will be wise to put your money on a dark horse —that is. providing he really is a horse. A horse may not be very accurate off the tee, but he stands a good chance to win by default when the humans all give up after, say, 100 holes. Playing 108 holes is going to be burdensome to the famous professionals in more ways than one. There is the little matter of not being able to sqnak. for one thing. Nothing is so soothing to the pros than those locker room post mortems where they loudly explain that if it hadn't been for that one little putt that didn’t drop, or that lousy lie on the 15th fairway, or the camera that clicked just as they started to swing on the 10th, they would have been a cinch to win. They won't be able to make excuses at Fenway. A tournament of 108 holes gives everybody time to make up for a lapse or two. Come to think about it. this tournament will come as close as anything can to determining the best golf player in the country. Many have claimed that title since the fall of 1930, when the leaves turned crimson and Bobby Jones turned pro, but none has offered proof positive that it belonged to him. Fenway, with its long pull, should provide a true successor to Jones. (Copyright 1938 by UP.)
