Port land * late rally dashed the high hope* of the Yellow Jacket* end their sane, an the Jacket* nee med definitely the better team a* the firm halt • tided with Decatur on lop by a 13 to 6 ecore. The Jacket* drew fir*t Ll<xkl when Kenny Grant toeeed a *hort pa** to Holme*. De atur end. Holme* «h<M>k off one tackler and then raced down the sideline* behind hastily formed interference for 42 yard* and a touchdown.

After a fumble lost 22 yards for the Panther*. a abort pass wa* ruled complete because of interference with the receiver, giving Portland a first down on the Decatur 34. The Panthers plowed to the Decatur 22 and a Shaneyfelt to Brewster pas* took the ball to the Decatur 13.

Cards Lose, Drop To Tie With Dodgers S'. Ixiuis. Hept. 29- (UP)— The St. IxMiis Cardinal*, locked in a first place tie with their Brooklyn rivals, today faced twin hazards on the path to the National league pennant—the loss of batting punch and fielding finesse. The dub. aided by consistently excellent pitching and flawless work in the field. has won games in the last week that were not earned by stick work. But last night's combination of weird play afield and puny work at the platter raised serious doubt alxint their ability to recover and win. Fortunately, their selection of Harry (the cat) Brecheen as a pitcher has the virtue ut putting an Intuitive and skillful infielder as well a* a rnatiey pitcher into the lineup Brecheen'* record of 14 and 15 seems unimpressive until a glance at the record reveal* that five of his victories and only one of hi* defeat* were in games with the Chicago Cubs. He will face the Cubs' Paul (9-6) Erickson in a chipa-down. all-out effort to keep the Birds abreast of the Flatbusher* tonight. Beside* being a good pitcher and an excellent fielder, the Cat can and does hit and he might add a little power to an outfit that has lately been a* InoffenI slve ft* a Sunday school Joke. Most observer* who witnessed i the Cards' 7 to 2 defeat by the Cub* last night are conviced that only a blister kept the Birds from a shutout. The fateful blister was on the thumb of Hank Bori owy's pitching hand and caused i his removal in the eighth inning j after Harry Walker's single and I Stan Musiai's 15th home run of 1 the year had counted the only . Cardinal runs. I It was after a third and unproductive hit by Whitey Kurowski that Borowy's aliment caused manager Charlie Grimm to yank him and insert Hank Wyse—originally scheduled to pilch tonight's game—into the lineup. Wy«e, a hurler with a steady hand, had no trouble ending the eighth with a strikeout of Terry Moore. Then he set the side I down in order in the ninth. It wa* in the field that the Cardinal* gave their supporters the screaming meemies. Five of the Cubs' runs were unearned and the offenders—with a costly i error apiece—were the usually dependable Marty Marion and Whitey Kurowski. Fsller Ties Record Detroit. Sept. 29— (UP) —Unless Bullet Bob Feller break* hl* arm on the firat pitch Sunday, he appeared today to lie the sure possessor of a new major league strikeout mark, surpassing the 343 set by Hube Waddell in 1904 and tied by Feiler yesterday. Cleveland Indian manager Ix>u Boudreau said hi* fastball righthander would start against Hal | Newhouser tomorrow, and Feiler ,i raid his arm felt "great" after ' five inning* yeaterday, deapile the 361 inning* he has pitched this year. Newhouser, second in Inning* pitched, ha* worked 297, ami Dave Ferris* of the Red Sox 269. I “I wa* a little wild," Feller said, "but I had lots of stuff " He got six whiffs after coming Into a game as Cleveland led 9 to 4. and tied the record with a sparkling strikeout of Jim Outlaw, first man up in the ninth

Buuck did very well imi a new man on the Super Service team with 202 and 291. You have to give this team a little credit liecause they went into this scratch league with the lowest average but are in there pitching every night and will make It tough for some one as the season gets along. Next week the two restaurant sponsored teams meet on 7 and 9 and from what I hear, this should lie a ' pretty good battle because these two teams have l>een battling each other for a couple of years and everyone gets as many stick* as , they can because most always there is a good reason for bearing down The West Endere still remember the one set to last year when Ehlers bunch, then sponsored by Kraft, rolled up one of the hi»h eat scores for the alleys for several years agaiiMt them, and no doubt they will try to get even tome way. There are going to be some bowlem that are now rolling a fair hook that are going to tie sick pigeons when these tournaments i start rolling around, because that . hook that they get on these alleys will turn into a straight lull or a backup, and by the time that they get on to the alleys it will he time to change shoes and go home. 1 thought that we were supposed to get alleys that were about the same condition as tournament alleys, but outside of the flnit night they are far from being as stiff as the bowlera would like to have them. I’m not muttering to myself because I roll ut three different place* each week and two of them have alleys that you have to point your ball and turn it over to get up to the head pin, and I know what I am talking about when I speak about alleys that dive at the last minute. Conditions like this are all right (or the bowler that can't roll a hook any other way, but you birds have been to enough tournament* to know that we never get alloys like that when we try to get our entry fee back with a little Interest on It.
