The Yankees are very fixed at shortstop, , where Francisco Pietro Crosetti has been an even better job than Leonidas has been flashing for ihe Cardinals.

All- Star and Lion Pilots See Delay in Big Game as Aid to Offenses. |
| By United Press CHICAGO, Sept. 2—Football's ' most spectacular show will be staged | under the floodlights in Soldiers | Field tonight when the Detroit Lions |
meet the College All-Stars. after a | 24-hour delay voted during yesterday's rain. It will be held tonight | regardless of weather conditions. | Elaborate pre-game ceremonies i were scheduled at 7:20 p. m. (C. S. T.) while a crowd expected to peach 80,000 settles in the giant lakefront horseshoe. { Anxious to compete on a dry field, {coaches of both squads agreed to | the postponement suggested by directors of the contest. { “A dry field will be all the better for the fast All-Star backs,” said Head Coach Bernie Bierman of | Minnesota. “The college boys all |are on edge for this game and I | was hoping it could be played as | planned, but we'll be as ready as | ever.’ . The Lions were unconcerned, al{though dry turf ‘would permit top | speed from their high-geared . oftensive.
May Rush in Crayne
Reports of the Collegians’ final | drills indicated a squad with more | great ball carriers than blockers— and Bierman’s Minnesota system requires eleven perfect jobs on | every play. Bierman and his aids, Bo McMillin, Elmer Layden and Lynn Wal- ( dorf, plan to start Capt. Riley Smith | of Alabama at quarter back, Bill | Shakespeare, Notre Dame, and Jay | Berwanger, Chicago, half backs, {and Sheldon Beise, Minnesota, full This unit includes at least | three triple threat men, four superb defensive players, but no outstanding blocker. In the event the attack is spilled repeatedly by Detroit's aggressive ends, Ed Klewicki and John Schneller, Bierman may rush in Dick Crayne of Iowa, who has mastered every back field position. His value as a blocker became apparent last season when he was the running-mate of Iowa's famed Ozzie Simmons.
Clark Not to Start
The All-Stars felt in the dark in | preparing a defense for the tricky | professional champions. The 1933 | collegians are not familiar with professional grid tactics. Earl (Dutch) Clark, captain and star quarter. back of the Liens, will not start, according to Coach Potsy Clark, who said he will be held in reserve until the champions need their spark plug. Glenn Presnell will appear at quarter, with Ernie Caddell and Frank Christianson at haif back and Ace Gutowski at full back. Christianson will handle the punting until Bill Shepherd breaks into the game. Shepherd, collegiate star of the second All-Star game, has established himself as a kicker.
1926 Cards Drop Tilt to Moderns
Times Special
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 2.-Youtn had
{a tough time putting age in its
place yesterday afternoon in Sportsman’s Park when the 1936 Cardinal teamh was lucky to nose out the 1926 Red Bird aggregation, 1 to 0, in a two-and one-half-inning exhibition game. The only run of the tilt was unearned, with Grover Cleveland (Old Pete) Alexander pitching “masterful” ball for the Ancients. The game was played as part of St. Louis’ celebration of the sixtieth birthday of the National League. Other members of the 1926 crew were: Taylor Douthit, Wattie Holm, Rogers Hornsby, Lester Bell, Chick Hafey, George Torporcer, Bob O'Farrell, Vic Keen, Firmin Warwick, Jake Flowers, Ray Blades, Jim Bottomley and Bill Hallahan.

U.S. Golfers Forge Ahead in Cup Meet
Gain Scotch Foursome Lead Over British Team at Half-Way Mark.
BY STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Editor
PINE VALLEY, N. J, Sept. 2.— America held a half-way lead in three of today's four Scotch foursomes as the biennial Walker Cup golf competition with Great Britain Was renewed. The American team of Charley Yates and Walter Emery was the only one trailing the overseas rivals as the amateurs quit for lunch. Yates and Emery were one down to Gordon Peters and Morton Dykes. In the other matches, Johnny Goodman and Albert (Scotty) Campbell were 5 up over Hector Thomson and Harry Bentley; Reynolds Smith and Ed White were 1 up over Jock McLean and John D. A. Langley, while Harry Givan and George Voigt were 4 up over Alec Hill and Cecil Ewing. The finest golf of the morning was played by the foursome in which the British led. Peters and Dykes came home in par 35 after an outward 38 to have low medal of 73, three strokes past par. Each team is the youngest ever to represent its nation. The “elderly” captains, Francis Ouimet of
Boston and Doc Will Twiddell helped
make this possible by electing to look on in today’s Scotch foursomes. There was no real difference of opinion as to the outcome. Everybody says America will win, with the matter of score the only question.
Sets New Record for 5-Mile Swim
By United Press TORONTO, Ontario, Sept. 2.— Frank Pritchard of Buffalo, N. Y., was $2500 richer today after winning the “world professional fivemile swim” [in the icy waters of Lake Ontario in record-breaking
‘| time.
Pritchard outclassed the field of 61 starters so far that he crossed the finish line a half mile in front of his nearest rival, Warren Priddy, virtually unknown swimmer from St. Catherine, Ontario. Pritchard's time of 2 hours 7 minutes 9 seconds, broke the record of Gianni Gambi of Italy, last year's winner, by a minute and 46 seconds. Gambi, favorite to win yesterday's event again, had to be pulled from the 61-degree water with a bad case of cramps after swimming a mile and a half. Priddy won $700 for finishing second and Charlie Gareau, Sudbury, Ontario, won third prize of $350. Fourth place and $200 went to Nicholas Ostapyk of Ottawa, while fifth and $100 was won by Johnny Cairo, Toronto, with sixth place $50 going to William L. Nolan of Chelsea, Mass.
