Major Flag Races & DETROIT CLIMBS BACK INTO PENNANT R UNNING Yankees Go on Road for Long Trip Washington and Giants Cling to Slight Leads, Si/ Vnitrd Pre** NEW YORK, Sept. B.—Finishing their season at home Sunday afternoon, the New York Yankees set out Sunday night for a tour through Boston, Chicago, St. Louis, Detroit, Cleveland and Philadelphia. This sweep through the enemy country will make or break them as the American League champions.

The standing was only slightly, affected by Sunday's games in the American League. Both the Yankees and the Senators lost while the, Tigers were winning their sixth straight game from the Cleveland I Indians. Tigers Tull Up After a collapse which seemed toj have knocked them out of the run- j ning. the Tigers apparently have re- i covered and are off on another win-j ning streak, which has brought them j to within four and one-half games of the lead. The Giants are clinging desperately to their lead in the National League pennant race. The Giants have won only seven out of their last fourteen games and would be in a bad position if they had not accumulated such a big lead before PM ' hit the bumps. Reds Hait Pirates The Pirates picked a bad time to stumble when they fell before the Reds and dropped a double bill, j which pushed them into third place.: Although their winning streak of j fifteen games was broken Saturday j and followed by another loss Sun-1 day, the Brooklyn Robins continue j to be the sensation of the major | leagues. They have won twenty-nine out of their last thirty-six games and are \ only a game and a half away from! the Giants and one game ahead of j the Pirates. The feat of the Robins • in winning fifteen games, including four double-headers in four days, probably is a record. At least it is the best performance of the season. .

VETERAN COACHES OF BIG TEN SET FOR USUAL TASK Thirty-Third Season for Stagg and Twenty-Fourth for Fielding Yost, By .V FA Service CHICAGO, Sept. B.—Two veteran football coaches again will lead their charges In the chase for the West em Conference championship this fall. They are Alonzo A. Stagg of Chicago and Fielding H. Yost of Michigan. Stagg has been at the Midway School since 1892; Yost at Michigan since 1901. This wiy make Stagg's thirty-third season as Chicago pilot and Yost's twenty-fourth, a long time to serve one school In the same capacity. Within the last year or so Yost has turned over much of the details to George Little, his assistant, but the "Hurry Up" one's word is still final. Os the other Big Ten universities. Bob Zuppke. Illinois, and Dr. John Wilce, Ohio State, rank nexfc in point of service. Both have been in charge of western conference elevens for years. These four are the “old-timers" in the organization. Glen Thistletwaithe, Northwestern; Bill Spaulding, Minnesota; Jack Ryan, Wisconsin; Bijl Ingram. Indiana, and Jimmy Phelan, Purdue, all have seen one or more seasons as Big Ten coaches. Os these Spaulding last fall, in his first year In the Big Ten, turned out a first-class team. The only newcomer this fall in the conference will be Burt Ingwersen at lowa. The former Illinl star has taken over the 'post left vacant by the resignation of 'Howard Jones. Ingwersen’s efforts in his new role will be watched with more than ordinary interest.

HARRY WILLS FAVORED TO DEFEAT ‘WILD BULL’ However, Nothing Is Certain in Bout Against So Powerful a Foe as Firpo—Black Panther Confident. BY JOE WILLIAMS, NEA Service Writer SOUTHAMPTON, L. 1., Sept. B.—Sitting down to type prophetic lines on the outcome of the fight between Firpo and Wills, our fingers move with easy confidence across the keyboard, writing Wills will win either by a knockout in six or seven rounds, or surely on points in twelve rounds. A still small voice whispers, “Don’t forget Firpo can hit,”

Wills ought to win because he is better fitted for a gruelling test, mentally and physically. Wills has had no embarrassing love entanglements to disturb sensibly and sy3self. Bartley MadWILLS den told this writer Wills walloped him harder tnan he ever had scored a knockout had he fought with scored a knockut had he fought with greater aggression. No fighter has ever knocked the rugged Madden down. The small voice: “Firpo will be a red terror so long as he Is able to lift his right hand.” Wills Has I*>ft Wills knows the kind of fighter Firpo is. Wills saw him fight Willard and Dempsey. Firpo never has seen Wills. Wills remembers that even old man Willard made a sucker of Firpo for six rounds with a long straight left hand, landing so often ringsiders grew weary tabulating the unreturned blows. Wills has a great left hand —Infinitely better than Willard’s at the cow puncher’s best. Another restraining message: "But when Firpo finally got his right over Willard went down, and stayed down I” Wills will not make the mistake Dempsey did. He will not charge Into Firpo without any preliminary fiddling around. There will be no sudden volcanic outbursts of fighting fury, the type best suited to the South American's savagery. 'Wills will stand back, bide his time, watch for openings and then fire, with the precision of a sharpshooter. . . . And still another: "All Firpo’s got Is a right hand but, peasants, it is a right hand!” Question able Points Two questionable points about Wills: (1) the condition of hie hands, always uncertain. (2) the quality of his courage, never of the lofty, heroic sort. Wills says both his hands are hard as'granite. You believe him, watching him attack the big bags and massacre his giant sparring partners. As to his courage you can only guess. He sepms confident enough—even more confident, for that matter, than the bull. . . . Once more: "Any bird who hits hard enough to knock a champion

for preliminary football practice. Coaches Goldsberry and Julius were in charge and they gave the boys plenty of action. The stay at the Muncie Y. M.

clear out of the ring is no fiat tire.” Well, that’s that. Our dope is that Wilis is cagey and clever enough to stay away from the bull's right hand —and any fighter who can do that can heat him. GRIG CAMPAIGNS ON OVER STATE Local H, S, Squads and Butlerites Answer Calls, Gridders of 1924 answered fl-st call today at Butler College and in the local high schools.
