Season’s ‘Mad’Series Continues as Indians and St Paul Battle for Edge
I TRIBE TRAILS BY FOUR POINTS IN FLAG FIGHT Battle With Apostles Closes Friday With Alien’s Team f Ruling the Favorite —Wednesday’s Games Divided, By Times Specie.l ST. PAUL, Sept. 25.—The situation on the A. A. pennant front was the same this morning as twenty-four hours previous. The Indians, under General Bush, penetrated into St. Paul ranks by a terrific charge early Wednesday afternoon, but the home-town warriors rallied late in the day and hurled the invaders to a distance four points back of the dag statioi). Therefore, the Apostles held the advantage as opposing forces cleared for more action this afternoon.
I One battle today and one Friday will close the Tribe-Saint conflict here. Out-of-town “experts” present for the series express the opinion the Saints will win the pennant. They figure the failure of the Indians to land the second fracas of Wednesday's double header placed Indianajvolis on the very short end of the odds. Tribe Couldn’t Hold Indianapolis won the twin blil opener Wednesday, 7 to 3, and regained the A. A. lead for the time b* ing. St. Paul came back in the struggle and drew out in pennant front again by winning, ■ to 7. A After Friday, the Tribesmen will to Minneapolis to finish the schedule and Louisville will invade St. Paul for the wind-up here. Only a terrific upset of calculations can put the Hoosiers on top at the finish, according to the views of the "smart" dopesters. St. Paul fans have been worked up to a point where they're ready to be carted off to the place with high iron fences. In other words, they are. on the verge of baseball insanity. Large Crowd Present About 11,000 rooters turned out Wednesday for the double program and they got wild thrills right up to and including the ninth inning of the second battle. Another stormy session loomed today, with odds in the Saints' favor. It was thought Manager Allen would use Markle on the mound. Bush was uncertain about his choice of pitcher, but it was said Niles. Fitzsimmons and Morton were ready for the assignment. After Bill Burwell had tamed the Saints in the first game Wednesday and Saint hopes drooped, the clubs squared off for the final conflict of the day. Indianapolis got a good lead in the sixth when Jones poled a home run with two mates aboard. The score was 5 to 3 in the Tribe's favor when the Apostles went to bat in the seventh. A St. Paul rally was staged. Hill was driven from the mound and Petty rushed in. All the breaks went to the Saints and five runs were ■■ored. giving St. Paul the advanAge. 7 to 5. Krueger Connects Petty retired for a pinch hitter in the eighth and G. Smith went in. In the ninth, with two Indians out, Ohristenbury walked and Ernie Krueger gave the Saint fans a groggy wallop by hirting a home run and tying the score. But the Saints weren’t through. They got to Smith, but the Indians were saved for a moment when a Saint runner was caught at the plate. Two were out and a man on third when Boone stepped to the plate. Morton relieved Smith and Boone singled the winning run home. Koenig, who had doubled < sis J e Indfi ns are lucky to be where / are Bush- is handicapped by dc of reserve strength. Rehg and ng Allen are out with injuries. Otto Miller has ft. lame back and Whelan has a badly bruised finger. HENNESSEY IN FORM Gives TRden Battle in Singles; Helps Defeat Bill in Doubles.

ALL DOPE NOW FAVORS GIANTS AND WASHINGTON Pirates Pass Out of Running and Robins and Yankees Have Only Very Faint Chance, By HENRY L. FARRELL Vnited Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Sept. 25.—Recalling infrequency of miracles in baseball since 1914, it now looks certain the New York Giants and the Washington Senators will meet in the world series. New York gamblers are offering their money that way. Odds are 7 to 10 the Giants and the Senators will come through. Some even money also has been placed that the Giants will win the title in the of play.
Pittsburgh passed out of the National League race Wednesday when the Pirates dropped their second straight game to the Giants and fell three and one-half games behind the champions. Brooklyn is still in second place, trailing by one game. Two Left for Robins The Giants have four more games to play and the Robins have only two. If the Giants win three out of four games they will cinch the pennant. Brooklyn probably will win their two remaining games, and if the Giants iose a pair the two clubs will have. to play off three games for the title. Having been beaten twice by the Giants and with their best pitchers used, it was not likely the Pirates would be able to take the third game here today. The Giants rested and primed Arthur Nehf, their star southpaw, for the last shot, and Nehf always has been “poison’’ to Pittsburgh. Tanks Two Behind The Senators and Yankees won their games Wednesday, remaining In the same positions, with the Yankees trailing hy two full games. The American League clubs all were Idle today. The Senators play four more games against the Boston Red Sox and the Yanks have four remaining with the Philadelphia Athletics. If the Senators win only one of their remaining games, the Yankees wduld have to sweep the four-game series with the Athletics. It Is improbable the champions will be able to do that, as the Athletics are now playing good ball, and it is just as unlikely that the Senators will drop three games to the Red Sox.

ROCKNE TELLS OF GREAT 1920 GAME ! N, D, Coach Explains How Victory Was Won, Local football fans who were at the great Notre Dame and Indiana U. struggle at Washington Park in 1920 always will remember that contest. Notre Dame won in the final quarter, 13 to 10. ft is very interesting to find out how that last winning touchdown went over just before the end of the game. Knute Rockne, coach, tells about it in the American Legion Weekly of Sept. 26. Here it is in Knute's own words: The play I consider the most intelligently executed occurred in a game between Notre Dame and the University of Indiana at Indianapolis in 1920. In the fourth period, with less than sixty seconds before the whistle would blow to end the contest, the score was. I. U.. 10: N. D., 7 Notre Dame had worked the ball to Indiana's one-yard line. Three times had Notre Dame assaulted the Indiana line and three times had Indiana held. Now it was the fourth down and Notre Dame's last chance to break through for one yard and victory. Time was taken out. Gipp and Brandv made up an impromptu play and put the other members of the team wise. "Wait a ramnt-, Joel My headgear's caught and I can t get my breath. Wait till I pull it off!” As Gipp proceeded to remove hts headgear. the Indiana players relaxed and raised their eyes to watch him. Brandy, standing about a yard from the center, simulated a yawning and a sleepy man st -etehing out hi 9 arms. As Gipp finished the last word of the sentence, the center enappeed the ball to Brandy and the whole Notre Dame line, from end to end, charged, shoulder to shoulder, against the Indiana players. Brandy held on to the ball, took two steps and fell forward for the winning touchdown. ACTION AT GREENFIELD XoblesviUe 11. S. Eleven Will Be Taken on Saturday.
