SPEAKER’S TEAM NOW UNIVERSALLY FAVORED TO BEAT SOX IN AMERICAN LEAGUE CHASE

DODGERS NEED ONE MORE FOR THE CLINCHER Robbie’s Team on Verge of Nailing Flag—American Race Still Hot. CLEVELAND IS FAVORITE Brooklyn stands today an almost sure pennant "winner in the National League. Wilbert Robinson's Dodgers hare to win only one game out of the remaining four on their schedule to carry the National colors Into the world’s series. If the Dodgers lose all four starts the Giants can do no better than finish in a tie with their town mates. The situation remains unchanged In the American League, with one-half game separating the Cleveland Indians and White Sox. The Indians hare seven mote games to go and the White Sox are within four games of the finish. The outcome is doubtful, but Speaker’s Indians are the selection of most of the dopesters. The Giants played the most consistent ball in the older organisation last week, winning five out of their six starts. They gained very little on the Dodgers, however, as Robbie’s club won three out of their four games. The White Sox closed in on the leading Indians by a fraction. Gleason won live out of six starts, while the Indians were able to get but three our of their six games. If the White Sox win all their four remaining games they would finish with ninety-eight won and fifty-six lost for X percentage of .636. To beat them out of the pennant Speaker would face the task of winning five out of his seven games. -

GOPHERS LOSE PAIR OF STARS Faculty Ruling Bars Capt. Johnson and Martineau. MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 27.—Captain Johnson of the Minnesota football team has been lost to the Gophers along with Earl Martineau, one of the most promising back field men on the squad. Both were barred by order of the faculty, which refused to allow them to register. The loss of Martineau and Johnson is a result of a recent scandal at the Minnesota State fair. Both boys, along with three other university students, were found guilty of manipulating tickets at the gate. They were fined, but the news was kept quiet until Saturday, when the matter was brought before the Minnesota faculty. They were then refused entrance to the university. Captain Johnson played right tackle on the Gopher eleven for the last two years and last season was unanimous choice for all-western tackle. His loss La disastrous blow to the Gophers, as not only deprives them of an ideal dsr for the cotping season, but also one of the best tackles since the days of George Hauser. Martineau was out for the team for the first time this year, but his record .in high school and his sensational work on the freshman team iast year marked him as another Arnold Oss. He was the best kicker on the squad this year. Minnesota students intend to stage a big mass meeting protesting against the action of the faculty, but statements from Registrar Pierce and Dean Nicholson, head of student affairs, indicated any attempt to reinstate the boys would be useless. Coach Williams refused to comment on the situation and President Lotus D. Coffman was silent.

BOXING

JESS SAYS HE’S RETIRED FOR GOOD LAWRENCE, Kan., Sept. 27.—Jess ■Willard, former heavyweight champion of the world, today absolutely denied that he had been signed for a match with Jack Dempsey, reigning champion., or that he even considered such a match, in an exclusive Interview with International News Service. "That story is bpnk,” said Jess, commenting on a report issued by a Lawrence storekeeper that he had been signed. “I’ve been doing a little exercising down here on my farm and my old gloves were worn out. I needed anew pair and went down to a sporting goods store. -Ton know how those fellows like to get their names in the paper so they made a story out of that.” “Are you seriously considering any offer to re-enter the ring?” he was asked. “No, no, no,” said Jess. "Nothing doing. I’m satisfied down here on the farm." “Are you keeping in condition?” “Sure,” replied the former champion. “I box a little now and then and take daily workouts.” ' Have you been made any offer for a Dempsey match?” “Yes, I have had a few communications from New York, but I turned them all down,” he said. “You can tell the world that." The former champion said he was "doing just fine,” and indicated it would take a king’s ransom to win him away from his farm to re-enter the ring. CHANEY SCORES K. O. PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 27.—George Chaney of Baltimore knocked out George Reynolds of this city In the first round of a scheduled eight-round windup at the National A. C. Saturday. LEONARD BEATS MORAN.

When McGraw Accused Kauff, Benny Exploded and Told Zim’s Scheme CHICAGO, Sept. 27.— Here is the story of another game alleged to have been fixed, which brings to light more clearly the reason why Heine Zimmerman bid his adieu to organised baseball. Late in 1919 the Giants had a game with the Cardinals. John McGraw became suspicious. Benny Kauff, an outfielder for the Giants, perpetrated a glaring muff. On his return to the dugout McGraw intimated Kauff\had Joined the coterie of crooks and gamblers. Kauff entered indignant denial, the which the manager answered: "Don’t try to alibi. A school kid could have caught that fly. It’s the likes of you who easy for the crooks' that want to ruin the game.” “Don’t you call me a crook,” Kauff answered. ‘T could have been a crook if I wanted to. Now that I drop a fly ball you are ready to accuse me. Asa matter of fact, Heine Zimmerman offered me SSOO to help throw a game, but I wouldn’t listen.” 0 Later the Giants were in Chicago, and on the day of the game that Herzog was accused by Rube Benton of offering a bribe to him to throw the contest, Zimmerman was suspended by McGraw. Umps Want More Coin CHICAGO, Sept. 27.—Major league umpires have petitioned for increased pay for world series work, President John Heydler of the National League said last night. The umpires want to work in the annual series on a percentage basis/just as the players do. and their request was expected to be acted on at today’s meeting of the national commission, he said.

HOOSIERS WIN AND LOSE IN SUNDAY PLAY Indians and Brewers Rest a Day Before Resuming Action Tuesday. / ZWILLING CRACKS ONE Indians and Brewers rested today following the dividing of their Sunday double-header, in which the Tribe came "Uut on top in the first game, 6 to 5, in twelve innings and the Brewers grabbed the honors in a five-inning contest, 2 to 1. The series will bo resumed tomorrow and the final game will be staged Wednesday, after which the Kansas City Blues will come to close the season with the Hoosiers. In the first contest Sunday the fans saw plenty of baseball and when Eddie Zwilling drove Rehg home with the winning run In the twelfth frame they howled in glee and were willing to admit they were wrong when, early in the conte_st,’they had howled their objections to Manager Hendricks’ move in taking Whitehouse out for a pinch hitter. Whitey started the game and Jones finished it, and, although Charlie had bad luck, It became necessary to remove him as a part of baseball strategy despite the objections of Charlie's friends In the grandstand. At any rate, everybody was happy after it was all over, and despite approaching darkness, the fans stayed and tried to pull the Indians through to a second victory. This was not to be, however, because the moon beat the Hoosiers to it and after five innings had been played Umpire Knapp wan forced to call the game. The Brewers got away to a lucky st®*t in the briei affair and their two runs scored la the opening inning proved sufficient for them to get an even break on the day’s pastlming. McWeeney, the ace of the Brewers’ staff, started on the mound for Milwaukee In the opening struggle, but gave way to a pinch hitter later and Reinhart finished and was charged with the defeat. The Brewers really had the game won in nine innings, but Catcher Staylor “blew” an out on gbinner* at the plate and this enabled the Tribesmen to stay in the game and, finally win It. Shinners gave another ’ exhibition of big league speed on the paths and led one fan to remark that this time next year the Indianapolis club probably will be receiving a young fortune from some big league team for this young phenom. In the second game Jess Petty got a poor start and before he got settled the visitors had chased two runs over. The Indians managed to put one marker over in their half of the first off Trentman. but he braced in time to save himself and as a result he got sway with the brief contest.

Defense of Indiana Team Gives Promise of Being Sensation Crimson Shows Unusual Class in Opening Game—Backs Have Punch . 6Y HEZE CLARK. Outweighed, outplayed and outclassed in experience, the plucky Franklin College football team never quit fighting until the final whistle Saturday at Bloom* ington. The score was Indiana, 47; Franklin, 0. It was not the size of the score that was the Important factor in the game played on a day that was at least 40 degrees too hot for football, but it was the Indiana defense, for the giant Crimson team presented a defense that lowa will find trouble in getting through next Saturday in the first big conference col* lege game of the year. KINOY FAILED TO GET LOOSE. Even the shifty Kingsollver failed to get loose end when that man doesn't get away for at least one long run there is something the matter and on this occasion it was the Indiana defense. As much can not be said for the Crimson offense, for at times the light Franklin team halted tho plunging la diana backs. In fact, in 13 minutes, the first period, Indiana scored but one touchdown. Franklin had battled the Crimson and Klngsoliver's toe had kept the ball hack from the Gold and Blue goal line by big excellent punting, but the rushes of that evenly balanced Crimson back field carried the ball over for the first touchdown and then it was only a question of bow many more times would tho Crimson score. Franklin never quit, but the Indlnna machine seemed to work better after that first Rcore and Quarter Back ’ravens got bis back field to line up faster and got his plays started quicker. Williams, Minton and Kvie formed a combination in the back field which will cause even the powerful lowa team no end of trouble. Minton is Jtist such a half back as Indiana needed to team with Williams, who, the critics admit, (Continued on Page Ten.)

Commy Accuses Ban CHICAGO, Sept. 27.—The split between Charles Comlskey, owner of the White Sox, and Ban Johnson, American League president, was farther widened today. “There’s one man working on this Investigation whom I did think was sincere In It, hat I believe now he’s using It for personal gain,” said Comlaky. “It wa a terrible thing to see a story printed of crookedness on the White Sox recently Jast before they went Into a tough series against New York, bat It was still worse to follow with a statement of blackmail of my players by gamblers just before they went Into the series against Cleveland, a club In which this man Is Interested. I refer to Ban Johnson, president of our league.’’

Yankee Aviators Are Favorites Even With Rohlfs Out of It PARIS, Sept. 27.—Despite Injuries received by Roland Rohlfs, which will prevent his participation, the United States was the favorite today in betting on the outcome of the James Gordon Bennett international aviation cup races which will open at Etampes tomorrow morning. Sportsmen from all parts of the world have gathered at Etampes. The greatest contest in tho history of the trophy is looked for. The accident to Rohlfs caused much disappointment to the American fliers and sportsmen. The Yankee flyer's machine crashed to the ground while he was making a landing. Up to the time Rohlfs was hurt it was generally eonslded that the United States would win. Evene noted French airmen, including Rene Fonck. the famous “aee’’who visited the Etampes field, admitted that the Americans seemed certain of victory. Their most dangerous contender was Lecolnte, a French airman. Hundreds 6f persons poured into Etampes during the day bringing enough food to last a couple of days.
