Yellow Jdckets Beaten By Garrett Railroaders Friday Night, 20 To 0

The Garrett Railroaders, led by two very bard running backs, beat a game but outtnanned Yellow Jacket eleven, 20-0 on the Garrett field Friday night, Mossberger and Easterday were about all the Railroaders could boast, but that was enough. Those two players did about SO per cent of the ball carrying and ground gaining against a Decatur team still tired from Tuesday's battle. Decatur kicked to Garrett to start the game and the first quarter settled down to an exchange of ball. Neither team kicked, but neither was able to get much of a march started. Decatur worked the ball to the Garrett 33 after a pass interception by Fred Schott, but the drive stopped there. Decatur was hurt by the loss of Gene Baxter, regular left half back, on the second play of scrimmage. The hard running back suffered a shoulder injury, but the extent of the injury is not known. Garrett turned on the power in the second quarter and in seven plays, after opening the quarter with a first down on the Decatur 26. punched over for the score Bartels, a big boy who generally plays tackle, was pulled into the Garrett backfield and bulled one foot for the first score. Easterday plunged for the PAT, and Garrett led 7-0. Decatur was unable to move the ball after the kick off. and seven plays after downing Decatur’s punt on their own 45, Garrett half back Gordon scooted 41 yards for the second TD. Easterday again plunged for the PAT. The Jackets took the next kick off, and mixing in a lot of Kelly passes, marched right to the Garrett four yard line only to have the clock run out.

Taking the kick, they again marched up the field and in nine plays were on the Garrett four yard line with three plays to score. A penalty and a loss stopped the Jacket drive and Garrett took over the ball on the Garrett seven. After one Railroader first down, Stan Kirkpatrick recovered a Garrett fumble on the Garrett 15. Again the Jackets were frustrated in their attempt to get back in the game. The locals got seven of the needed 10 yards for a first down on a Kelly pass to Murphy, but that was the extent of the Jacket offense. Garrett was held to no gain and forced to punt with Tony Kelly bringing the boot back to GMarrett's 28 yard line. The Jackets pushed to a first down on the Railroaders 15, but rigor mortis set in for the third straight time. Four plays netted only three yards and Garrett took over on their own 12. Garrett pushed to the 40 and then the Jacket defense and a holding penalty shoved the northern boys clear back to their own 13 yard line. At this time big Easterday took over. Although he was hit three times, the big Garrett halfback still popped through the middle of the Jacket line and romped to the Decatur 31 yard line. Only a clipping penalty kept him from going all the way. Seven plays later Mossberger ploughed 11 yards for the final score. The try for extra point was no good and the score stood 20-0 in Garrett's favor. From then ofi the second teams played the game. The Jackets final out-of-town game is next Friday against the much improved Portland Panthers.

Yankees Beat Boston To Win 21st Pennant NEW YORK (INS) — It's the incredible Yankees! The New Y’orkers, a few steps from extinction a couple of weeks ago. have nailed down their 21st American .League flag in the past 35 years and will be going next week for their 17th world championship — sixth against Brooklyn. The Yankees, in second place behind the rampaging Cleveland Indians a week earlier, last night ended the closest A.L. pennant chase in nearly two decades by defeating Boston, 3 to 2. The Bombers’ 95th win, exactly the number manager Casey Stengel predicted five months ago would clinch it, left them with a 3 % game lead over rained out Cleveland, which has only three games left. The Yanks muffed a chance to cop the bitterly contested flag in the first game of the day-night doubleheader when their eightgame winning streak was snapped, 8 to 4. When the end came, Chicago trailed by six games and Boston by 12. But it wasn’t always that way. The lead changed hands eight times in the last two months, with the Yankees outdistancing the pack with a September stretch drive that netted them 14 wins in their last 17 games. “Detroit was a big help in beating the other contenders at the right time,” Casey Stengel summed it up Friday night. And the grizzly 65-year-old'manager couldn’t have been more right. It was the Tigers indeed who nailed down the coffin lid for Cleveland by taking three straight a few days ago while the Yanks were feating on Washington. "It wasn’t the Yankees’ toughest season but it was the toughest American League race we’ve been in,” said another man who should know, co-owner Del Webb. For a time it seemed the toughest game the Yankees ever were in. They left 14 runners stranded in th nightcap and couldn’t capitalize on any of Boston's four errors. *’ The superb relief pitching of southpaw ace Whitey Ford saved the game for Don Larson, who suddenly was attacked for three singles and Boston’s first run in the seventh inning. Ford walked Billy Klaus to load them up and then made the game’s greatest hitter, Ted Williams, ground into a double play after working up a full count before 25,158 excited and overcoated fans. Jaekie Jensen, who had sparked a six-run rally in the first game with his 25th home run, opened the eighth by socking his 26th. But Ford got the next three batters and retired three more in the ninth without permitting a ball beyond the infield. Gil McDougald's homer highlighted the two-run first inning and the flag clincher came in the fifth when Willard Nixon walked Bob Cerv with two out, Billy Martin singled and Eddie Robinson — pinch hitting for Phil Rizzuto — scored Cerv with a single. Nixon's 10th defeat in 22 decisions was his first in five verdicts against the Yankees. It was the ninth and most important win for Larsen. The Red Sox snapped a seven game losing streak in the opener by blasting Tommy Byrne for a half dozen runs in the third inning. Bob Cerv homered in vain for the Bombers. Elsewhere, Cleveland was rained out at Detroit; Chicago defeated Kansas City, 12 to 4. and Washhigton took two from Baltimore, 6 4o 4, and 7to 3. -r. L

Brooklyn was washed out at Pittsburgh; Philadelphia clinched fourth place in the National League by turning back New York, 5, tol, and Milwaukee downed St. Louis. 4 to 2, on homers by Ed Mathews (40), Warren Spahn and two by George Crowe. 50-Yard Line Hashes By JACK HELLER Noticed that Portland beat the Hartford City team last night. It's a safe bet that the Jackets did about as much for that Portland win as the Panthers. They gave the Hartford City line an awful beating in last Tuesday’s game. Os course the Jackets took a lot of bumps in that one too, and some of them were still visible last night One player on the Jacket team who deserves some mention and doesn't get too much is offensive center Dan Krueckeberg. There may have been some, but we can’t remember ever seeing a bad pass from center this year. The center has a lot of responsibility on a football team. If he doesn’t get the play started right, it's stopped before it can get started. Stan Kirkpatrick has played mighty good football for the defensive team. The tall junior end has recovered two fumbles in four games and does a nice job of taking out the interference on end runs. He made the finest block cf the evening on the pass interception by Fred Schott last night. That block, by the way. allowed Schott to pick up about 15 yards more. Bill Roth is another player deserving some credit. The senior half back plays both offense and defense and is mighty rough on both. He has gained more ground running than any other back. Gene Baxter was about even with Bill until last night, but t the injury kept Gene from carrying the ball at all. It is believed that Gene suffered a minor shoulder separation. but it’s not known how bad. Tony Kelly has done a lot of fine passing, but last night he didn't get too much protection. Even Otto Graham didn’t throw many touchdown passes with two or three linemen lying on him.. Portland has improved quite a bit in the last year, but it’s hoped that with a week to rest and sharpen up the Jackets can win their last road game. White Sox Accept Lane Resignation CHICAGO (INS) —Frank Lane, former general of the Chicago White Sox, was free today to negotiate tor another baseball job — probably with the St. Louis Cardinal organization. Lane’s written request for a release from a five-year contract was accepted Friday "with regret” by Mrs. White Sox president. LITTLE CHANGE (Continued rrom Page One» Big Three on establishing limitations tin the size of the armed forces.

Pro Football Opens Season This Evening By International News Service The New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles, both loaded and ready to present Cleveland its stiffest challenge for the Eastern Conference title, ring up tbfe curtain on the 1955 National Football League season tonight in a game at Philadelphia. The Eagles, who have a souped up passing attack with the likes of quarterbacks Adrian Burk and Bobby Thomason, and NFL pass receiving champion Pete Plhos and league leading scorer Bobby Walston, are one touchdown favorites. The Giants’ new faces include Notre Dame end Joe Heap, Canadian MVP Alex Webster, Penn State tackle Roosevelt Grier and Toledo fullback Mel Triplett. Maryland fullback Dick Blelski is the Eagles* NO. 1 rookie. Three new coaches make their appearances this season and two of them debut Sunday on the same field. — Norman (Red) Strader finds his host San Francisco 49’ers a slight favorite over the Los Angeles Rams, now tutored by Sid Gillman. The third coach is Ray Richards, whose Chicago Cardinals team goes to Pittsburgh Monday night a slight underdog. Three other games will be played Sunday. The Browns, who swamped Detroit, 56 to 10, to cop the league titl£ last December, entertain Washington a two- touchdown favorite. The Browns are back in business again with Otto Graham at quarterback after a brief "retirement.” Detroit goes to Green Bay a slim favorite despite heavy losses via retirement, the armed forces and the Canadian League. The Chicago Bears, being groomed as the next Western Conference champion, open a strong favorite at Baltimore. Freddie Haas Leads Gold Classic Meet NEWTON, Mass.

New York Yankees Celebrate Victory BOSTON (INS)—The New York Yankees whooped it up in traditional fashion after winning the American league pennant Friday night and promised they will take care of Brooklyn in the World Series. "Don’t worry, the Yankees always take care of hte World Series,” Casey Stengel shouted over the tumult in the dressing room after his team wrapped up its sixth flag in his seven years as manager with a 3 to 2 victory over Boston. Co-owner Del Webb st pod by Stengel's side with his arm around the shoulder of the 65-year-old skipper throughout the siege of flashing camera bulbs, grinding movie cameras and radio and newspaper interviews. “it wasn’t the Yankees' toughest season," Webb said, "but it was the toughest American League race we’ve been in. There’ve been four or five teams in contention most of the year. The Yankees never have it easy.” “I'm glad we had to fight so hard for the pennant,” Stengel added. “It'll make us just that much tougher for the job of beating someone else. “I want to congratulate my players for coming from behind when there were four clubs in the race. Detroit was a big help in beating the other contenders at the right time.” Catcher Yogi Berra, infielder Eddie Robinson and Webb took turns hoisting pitcher Whitey Ford, the southpaw ace who dashed a Bos-
