PENNANT GOES TO CARDINALS IN GREAT RACE Gabby Street Clinches Flag 12 Years to Day After Starting Argonne Drive. TEAM STARTED LATE But Since Aug. 1 Team Rocketed From Fourth Place to Title. BY LELAND L. QIESLEY United Press Staff Correspondent ST. LOUIS. Sept. 27.—The St. Louis Cardinals are National League j champions again as a result of the j greatest pennant dash since that of the Boston Braves in 1914. By defeating Pittsburgh here Friday, 10 to 5, the Cardinals clinched their third pennant in five seasons and culminated a drive which did not get under way until Aug. 1, and did not assume spectacular power until twenty days later. Bringing the pennant battle to a close on Sept. 26 meant something more to phlegmatic Charles (Gabby) Street, manager of the club, than .ans previously had supposed. Record of Barrage Laying Twelve years ago on Sept. 26, Street, then sergeant in the first gas regiment, chemical warfare division, laid down a smoke barrage for infantry starting the Argonne drive. Oct. 2, just before the World series starts, it will be twelve years to the ■ day since Street was wounded by machine gun fire. Since Aug. 1, Street, in his first year as a manager of a big league club, has laid down barrages different from those in the Argonne, ones that toppled the pennant hopes of the Cubs, Giants and Robins. On that date. Street, distressed by injuries to his regulars and the loss of numerous games by one run, had almost relinquished hope of his team finishing better than at the j tail end of the first division. He j thought he had a “great ball club,” but the punch somehow was lacking. | Known as “Miracle Man” The Cardinals were then deep in i fourth place. They had tvon 48 | games and lost 49. Since then they I have won 43 and lost but 12, a feat \ that has caused Street to become j known here as “the miracle man.” j How the drive started, no one | seems accurately to know. The an- j nouncement of President Sam j Breadon says that Street believes ! the team just found itself. On Aug. 20 the Giants were here i for their last appearance of the j • stason. They had taken two of the j three games of the series, and were j leading 3 to 0 in the final. Sudden' I ly the Cardinals came to life and j smashed out a 5 to 4 victory. r How the Drive Started In the clubhouse after the game, i Frankie Frisch went up to Street, j The players looked gloomy. “What’s the matter?” Street; asked. According to Street, Frisch replied. “Can you imagine our club losing games day after day. while those gents go in and win? Did you see how easy it was to beat those birds, when we gave them the ] works l —well—from now on After that victory, the Cardinals won twenty-nine games out of thirty-four played. TWO MEN INJURED IN CRASH WILL RECOVER Architect Trapped in Wreckage of Car Saved by Companion. Recovery of W. N. Harding Jr., 48. and Donald Graham, 60, Indianapolis business men injured in an auto crash Friday between Huntington and Roanoake on State Road 24, is assured, according to word received today by relatives here.

‘City Still Not Clean/ Says Kinney

Indicates Probes Are Being Pressed to Unearth Any Corruption. Admitting that the city is not yet cleaned up, Police Chief Jerry Kinney today indicated that a series of investigations is being conducted by his department in the drive to rid Indianapolis of crime and the department of alleged corruption. "Is the town cleaned up?” he queried. “No, hardly. If I had 100 more men, I doubt whether it would be possible to keep up with the situation.” Kinney and city officials would not comment on further activities. The police chief criticised Indianapolis citizens for writing “anonymous letters that are so indefinite we are unable to locate the places or conduct even a proper probe.” Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan who led the moves to purge the city and its police department, said he did not know of future plans in the cleanup program and had returned to office duties which he was forced to set aside during the corruption investigation. Declaration that the people should “band to support good government” was made by Municipal Judge Paul C. Wetter, Friday night before the Marion County Good Government Club. Wetter intimated the underworld had been “tipped off,” following raids Wednesday in which eightytwo persons were nabbed.

HOOVER’S PRESTIGE DAMAGED BY WETS’ NEW YORK VICTORY

Tuttle Governor Choice on Repeal Platform Viewed Slap at President. BY RAY TUCKER Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.—1n j nominating Charles H. Tuttle for [ Governor as an anti-prohibition candidate over the protests of presidential spokesmen. New York Republicans have administered the most severe blow to the administration’s prestige since President Hoover took office, it was conceded in political circles today. It generally is admitted New I York’s reinforcement of Republican i wets in New Jersey, Massachusetts, j Illinois and numerous other seaboard states would have a definite, j though not immediate reaction on j both the White House and the ' Wickersham commission. With the White House becoming ; an isolated Sahara in the midst of Republican wetness, there is a disposition to discuss the prospects of a finish fight between the two factions in 1932, as well as freer talk of Hoover an Dwight W. Morrow as exponents of the conflicting viewpoints. White House Silent The White House maintained silence concerning these surprising developments, and there was no effort to minimize their importance. The two days’ controversy at Albany was a rout for the administration forces, which stubbornly resistec|ithe demand for a real plank. Thjj “federal crowd,” as administration officeholders were dubbed, tookfthe defeat as gracefully as possible,* but they recognized that they had lost control. There were other developments besides prohibition to give pain to the President's supporters. Many of the leaders, definitely ousted when Hoover was nominated at Kansas City, climbed back into the saddle. Tuttle’s selection is a personal and political victory for Charles D. Hilles, national committeeman, who led the anti-Hoover coalition at Kansas City. Hilles has been in political eclipse since then, and almost all authority has been transferred to William J. Maier, state chairman, and William H. Hill of Binghamton, a dry and an original Hooverite. Both Maier and Hill vainly fought against the wets’ thrust, and, like some of the admiinstration bosses below the Mason and Dixon line, virtually are men without a party. Victory for Wadsworth The outcome also represented a victory for ex-Senator James W. Wadsworth, whose anti-prohibition stand in 1926 sent him down to defeat at the hands of Senator Wagner. The former senator, as a director and financial backer of the Association Against the Eighteenth Amendment, has given time l-t* money to convert New York Republicans to the repeal movement, and finally has succeeded. Tire upset may mark the start of a political [ comeback on his part. Whether Mr. Hoover will give any j assistance to Tuttle and the rest of I the ticket is doubtful. In response j to queries about the possibility of j the President visiting or travelling j in New. York between now and election day, it was said he would “cross New York twice in that time, and both crossings would be over Hell Gate bridge at 3 o'clock in the morning.

Bu United Press ROME. Sept. 27.—Premier Benito Mussolini’s fondness for driving his racing automobile along the RomeOstia highway at high speed is causing Italians much worry.

The article upbraided other Italian newspapers for praising Mussolini’s driving, i “What is the use of denying re- | ports Mussolini is sick when his driving is equivalent to exposing himself to the consequences of a serious illness,” the regime said. “The slightest cause may determine disaster when one drives at sixty-five miles an hour.” FIRE LOSSES.

BOBBY MS THREE OP ON GENEHOMANS Launches Final Drive for National Amateur Title at Ardmore. TAKES LEAD AT START Piles Up Advantage Over Englewood Star on First Nine. BY FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Editor MERION CRICKET CLUB, Ardmore, Pa., Sept. 27.—Over the now familiar rolling fairways of Merion. Bobby Jones today struck his final blow in quest of the naional amateur championship—his fourth major golf crown of the year—and at the end of the ninth hole of the morning’s eighteen-hole round was two up on Gene Homans ,the Englewood (N. J.) star. Tlieir cards: Jones—Out 463 354 545—39 Homans—Out 561 654 444—43 Although Jones was an overwelming favorite to defeat Homans, the latter’s game uphill fight in battling to the final match had won him many admirers in the vast throng which lines the fairways and jammed the hillocks overlooking the greens. Bob Takes Early Lead Jones took the lead on the very first hole when he took a par four. Homan’s second pitch shot wound up in a trap and the easterner took a .ive. They halved the second hole with sixes, one above par, and the Atlantan went two up at the third, by taking a par three as Homans landed in the rough and took a four. Bobby made it three up at the long fourth with a par 5 to Homan’s 6. The New Jersey mart again pulled into the rough and barely got on the green in 3 with a mashie niblick. At the fifth both went one over par figures with ss, and then halved the sixth as they took par 4s. The great Georgian went one over par at the seventh with a five. Homans got his par and reduced Jones' advantage two up. On this hole he was partly stymied by Homans and hit Homans’ ball on his putt, missing the hole. Out Early for Practice On the eighth, both took par fours to halve it. On the ninth Jones took a par three to Hoffmans’ four again taking his three up advantage. Bcbby was out early this morning for some putting and driving practice, hitting his shots with such uncanny accuracy that his caddy standing flat footed, caught sight of the first ten balls on the first bounce ■■ a distance of 250 yards. He appeared at the first tee for the start of the match, carrying a putter in his hand. After standing at the tee a few minutes, he noticed the club and had to recall his caddy who had already started down the course. He replaced the putter in the bag, grinning as he did so, and took out a spoon, making a great 260-yard drive on the first hole. G. 0. P. HEAD QUITS Norris Case Charge Causes Seymour to Resign.
