‘Thar’s Gold-’ Bv Timet Special Chicago, sept. 12— There are other things besides cheers to inspire the bighearted ball players belonging to the teams in the first division of the National League and spur them on to victory. For instance, the hectic race has reached the point now where two or three days endeavor may mean a difference of about $5,000 in each individual player s world senes dough. Os course, the splits vary with the attendance at each world series but the different cuts last year may be taken as fairly representative of what may be expected this fall. Here are some figures from last year that every player in the current four-club National fight knows by heart: The share of each member of the world champion Athletics was $5,602.57. The share of each member of the fourth place teams in the season races was $336 12. The difference between the champions’ shares and the fourth place club was $5,236.45. Which is just another reason why the National League race is so heated at the present time.

, The Robins, riding on a seven- ; game winning streak, opened a fouri game series against the Reds at j Ebbets field. On their last western i trip the Robins dropped five games | in a row to Cincinnati, three by one 1 run. May Drop to Third If the Cubs lost today, either or both the Cardinals and Robins can pass them, with a double victory for St. Louis and Brooklyn pushing Chicago to third place. The last hope of the championship for the Cubs seems to have drifted aw'ay. They have lost four ! straight and nine out of their last twelve games. Their hitters have bogged down and their pitching stafi crumpled. The Cubs went twenty-four consecutive innings before scoring a run in the Brooklyn series, their trance being broken when Hack Wilson hit his forty-eighth home run of the season in the seventh inning of Thursday's game which the Robins won, 2-1. Glenn Wright’s home run after Herman had w r alked in the first inning with two men out won the game for the Robins. The Cubs’ three best pitchers, Pat Malone, Charley Root and Guy Bush were in turn beaten by the Robins, w : ho had lost fourteen out of nineteen games to Chicago up until the series just closed. The New York Giants, beaten for the second day in succession after winning the opening game of the series from th e Cardinals, may have muffed themselves out of the race. Failure of their hitters in the pinch and mental lapses in the field allowed the Cardinals to win Thursday, 5-4. The Giants had thirteen men left on base and twice had the bases filled, only to falter. Hafey Clouts Homer Bob O’Farrell allowed Sparky Adams to steal second on him unmolested and Allen, Ott and Critz watched Frisch’s pop fly fall for a hit, scoring Adams, in the seventh inning which cost the Giants the game. Chick Hafey’s home run with two on base in the opening inning, however, gave the Cardinals a ’ three run lead which the Giants never overcame, although they twice tied the score, 3-3 and 4-4. WALLACE SHOOT VICTOR Wallace captured the first shoot of the Spring Lake Skeet Club Thursday with 54 out of a possible 75. Schaub was second with 30 out of 50, and Kelley third with 42 out of 75.

Lightweight Champ Is Stopped by McLarnin Young AI Singer Concedes 5-Pound Weight Edge to Vancouver Star in Nontitle Bout and Goes Down for Count in Third, BY HENRY M’LEMORE United Pres* Staff Correspondent Sept. 12. Add to your list of sadder but wiser vounff men today the name of AI Singer, lightweight champion of the world Singer stepped out Thursday night at Yankee stadium before some 25,000 customers to prove his worth by taking on Jimmy McLarnin™ Vancouver, B. C. _ u. Late the third round ' after two minutes and twenty-one seconds of fighting, they dragged Singer from the ring by his heels while the coast boy turned handsprings in his comer.

Singer still is lightweight ruler, however, as Me barnin came in at 140, well above the lightweight limit. Singer weighed 135's. The end came suddenly. They were banging away against the ropes in a neutral corner when the champion slumped to the floor from the effects of a short, but sizzling left hand drive to the jaw. Singer gamely came to his feet after a count of nine and clinched. A second later he hit the floor for good when another left hand punch smacked his face. While the count was being tolled, he rolled over and over, holding his neck in the manner of a fighter w'ho had been struck with a rabbit blow. Singer brought his supporters to their feet in the first round when he caught McLarnin flush on the jaw. Jimmy’s knees buckled under him, but he bounced up and bored in. After the bout, Dr. William Walker of the state athletic comission, examined Singer and reported that he believed the lightweight champion was suffering from a partial paralysis due to a blow which affected the top section of his spinal column. This was not to suggest, however, that Singer had been struck from behind.

Huge Crowd to See City Title Tilts A record crowd for amateur baseball locally is the prediction made by City Amateur Baseball Association officials when a double-header with the city class A title at stake is played at Washington park Saturday afternoon. Three teams are involved, Power and Light meeting E. C. Atkins in the first tilt at 1:30 and the winner taking on Big Four in the second for the championship.

Earl Geider, local secretary, Big Four will have about 1,500 rooters on hand and Atkins 1,000, and with Power and Light followers also out in full force. Several city officials will attend.
